A small return and then leaves. Rudy, previously eliminated from “Koh-Lanta, the sacred fire”, returned to the TF1 game after the Swiss Martin withdrew due to a sprain. “Coming back was an incredible opportunity for me! I only learned once on the boat that I was replacing him because he was injured, explains the Francilien to 20 minutes. I was disgusted for him on the one hand, because I started the adventure with him and I appreciate him. »
However, Rudy quickly refocused on competition. “By joining the yellow team, I landed with the enemy. It was very very difficult. I had to lay low and spend my time looking for an immunity collar, ”he tells us. Indeed, in the episode broadcast this Tuesday, we saw him not sparing his efforts to return the vegetation of the island. Trying to fit in by playing the sympathy card was not an option for him. “There was a hard core made up of Nicolas, Grace, Laura and Gilles. And there was Julie and Tania, who followed. I was therefore the ejectable player in the event of a problem, he believes. I couldn’t stay there typing the discussion, they blamed me for it, but they understood it because I was in danger. »
After his team’s loss in the immunity test, Rudy knew he was in an ejection seat. He finally found a secret weapon, allowing him to hijack a vote during the council and therefore vote twice. He then thought of a scheme: “In my head, I had conditioned myself to go out. From there, it was just fun, so might as well go out in style and try something crazy. If it worked, so much the better…”
“It was so funny to see the faces of others! »
He then had the idea of making his acolytes believe that he had unearthed another secret weapon giving him clues to the place where an immunity necklace was hidden. To establish his deception, he showed the capsule which contained a secret weapon which he had used at the beginning of the adventure and made believe that it contained the precious indications. “Fortunately I kept it, it gave credit to my bluff,” he says. It was so funny to see the faces of the others, they were upset. Even I started to believe in my script, telling myself that it could pass. »
Rudy tinkered with a false necklace with shells adorning the trunk of the camp then, while his teammates followed him closely in the forest, pretended to have discovered in a hiding place the precious object which guaranteed him to stay in the adventure.
“For me, it was a bonus”
The other yellows, however, tried a gamble by considering that the facetious player was lying to them perhaps. In the end, Rudy had three votes against him and Tania four. But this one was saved by Gilles who made him benefit from the power of the talisman of the sacred fire.
“If, before asking me if I had an immunity necklace to take out, Denis Brogniart had asked Gilles if he wanted to play his talisman for him or someone else, he would probably have kept it for protect themselves”, advances Rudy who says he has passed “a hair of ass” from the reunification which will occur in the next episode.
However, the father of the family claims to have left the game a second time “with more joy than frustration”. “For me, this return was a bonus. Arriving at the yellows, I was almost sure to go out. I had fun leading them on and I came out with panache. »
