  • Flavio, 31, was eliminated from Koh-Lanta: Secret weapons broadcast Friday on TF1.
  • While this was the ultimate elimination immunity test of the adventure, Flavio failed to beat Magali in the final duel.
  • “For me, my torch is always lit in Koh Lanta », He confides to 20 minutes.

The test of the posts already stretched out its arms to him. Efficient in the events, active on the camp and appreciated by his teammates, Flavio knew, during this season of Secret Weapons full of twists and turns, to make a place of choice among the adventurers. But as we know all too well in
Koh Lanta : the sentence is irrevocable. So, after an unbearable face-to-face against Magali during the final eliminatory immunity test of the season, Flavio left the adventure, this Friday, at the gates of orientation. The candidate returns, with much bitterness and regret, to this still painful memory.

In the last minutes of this immunity ordeal, you were fighting to save your place against Magali. At that point, did you already think that the adventure was over for you?

Honestly, no. I allow myself to say that Magali, too, had a lot of trouble during this ordeal. When I saw her next to me, I told myself that we were on the same level. At one point, I even had a ball ahead of her so I took my time to win. In the end, my ball went ten centimeters from the victory. I was very close to succeeding, but it was not enough.

During this season, you performed very well on the events. What went wrong this time?

The whole adventure, I was especially noticed for my physical skills. I often found myself on the podium or close to victory. So when I got to this immunity test, I felt really good. I was determined: my goal was to win. This is the most frustrating thing. I knew I could have run a marathon or had another two months in the adventure. Especially since the test itself is far from being the most difficult. I even think a child could have done it. I had all the cards in hand to go to the final, but I couldn’t use them. I screwed up my adventure, and I can only blame myself.

Six months after the shooting of the show, is this disappointment still so heavy?

Yes. I will blame myself for the rest of my life. Koh Lanta running through my veins and leaving like this is excruciating. Since the start of the week, I’ve been having horrible days knowing this episode would air on Friday. For me my torch is always lit in Koh Lanta, even if I’m leaving in the worst possible way.

However, you could have been eliminated by your teammates …

That is true. That, on the other hand, I find that rather positive. Denis Brogniart did not tell me that my sentence was irrevocable and the other adventurers did not have the opportunity to put my name on a ballot. Leaving while being betrayed by your own is even more difficult. My name only came out once during this adventure. So I’m still quite proud of this course, despite the completely disappointing finality.

You were one of the last yolks, with Lucie, still present in the adventure. If you had not been eliminated on the immunity test, do you think you would have been in danger on the last council?

AT Koh Lanta, unless you have immunity, you’re never really safe. And again … We have seen that even with a collar, there can be a turnaround with secret weapons. But what is certain is that I was in more danger than the others. The reds being in supremacy, I couldn’t do much against the strong pairs: Jonathan / Arnaud and Maxine / Laure. Especially since the previous advice, I received quite harsh remarks: that they could not trust me, that I did not take a position … After, I never hid, I am a free electron in yellows or reds. However, for this last tip, I knew that the adventurers wanted to vote on merit. I allow myself to believe that, whether on the camp or during the tests, I deserved my place in orientation.

In the episode of last Friday, Arnaud declares that he cannot trust you, you understand his reaction?

I fully understand her and I am, somewhere, proud that he is saying that. He didn’t have to trust me, although I would have preferred it to be to save my ass. I never gave my word to the reds. In Koh Lanta, don’t trust anyone. If a yellow had said that on the other hand, then I would have taken it a little badly, because it is to them that I had given my confidence.

In recent weeks, we have seen you more active on the camp and closer to the other adventurers. Was this a strategy for fear of eventual elimination?

No, this is the real Flavio. I have always been very involved, whether it is for fishing, with Arnaud and Jonathan, or for getting up at night and fueling the fire with wood. But I think that we notice more my actions in the last episodes because the strong heads came out of the game. As there is only a small committee left, we observe better what each person does. But I never played any strategy to try to coax the adventurers.

The show’s cut shows you as a relatively quiet and low-key candidate, does this reflect your true way of being?

I am a bit of a chameleon. I know how to be calm and active at the same time but, in the adventure, I made the choice to adopt a personality enough free and withdrawn so as not to put myself in danger or risk tensions with people that I appreciate. . When you look at the yellow team, there are only large print. It was going to clash every two minutes. I am thinking in particular of Aurélien, whom I appreciate, but who was very enterprising on the camp and that cost him his place in the adventure… In the end, I tell myself that I am a bit like Switzerland, I am outside instructions, I have something else to do than take my head.

What was the hardest part for you during this adventure?

Obviously, this last immunity test. But if I just focus on the human adventure, I would say the weather. The yolks, we spent ten days without a fire, a third of my adventure, and it rained every night. It was demoralizing. Now, as soon as it rains in France, I complain a lot less. While yet I come from the South so I love to complain.

Looking back, how do you see your career today in Koh Lanta ?

Even if there were tensions among the yellows, if I have sometimes been addressed hurtful words and if I end this adventure on a chaotic touch, I only come out positive. All I have traded with each adventurer are moments that I will never forget. We lived an extraordinary adventure, which many people have dreamed of doing for years. It’s not easy for everyone. We were very lucky so I only remember the good times.
