Koh-Lanta – Tugdual, eliminated to the Ambassadors : “I didn’t have all the information” – Gala

Koh Lanta

The reunification has to take place, the ambassadors met and it is Tugdual who made the charges. The young Breton 27-year-old regrets the premature exit but looks very lucid on the adventure and reminds us that Koh-Lanta is primarily a game.

Gala : what is your feeling after being eliminated on the decision of the ambassadors ?

Tugdual : to be honest, I was expecting a little. The only solution that I could have favourable is that Andrew or I are nominated to be ambassador. I honestly thought it was going to be the case, but the choice was different. When I saw the name of Marguerite, I said to myself that it was starting to feel something for me.

Gala : As you would expect, have you tried to negotiate a little before the meeting of the ambassadors ?

Tugdual : What we don’t see necessarily on television, it is that I was close to Marguerite, there was a lot of things in two, like trying to eat in the forest, so we have not talked a lot. So I tried to open his eyes on the covenant of ex-red because they are 7 to 4 places in the final. I wanted to become aware that she was behind them and that once all the young people would have jumped, she would be the first to be eliminated. I didn’t have to be pretty persuasive, because she has continued to follow this covenant red.

Gala : do you Think that she did have at the time of the discussion of the ambassadors ?

Tugdual : I do not think it is. I’ve just been surprised, but on the spot I didn’t have all the information. I found out by watching the show that Sebastian had been on the camp of the yellow to ask permission from his former comrades if he could eliminate Marguerite. If I had known, I would have gone to see her to prevent it. It seems so simple after the fact and in front of the television screen.

Gala : You don’t have it want it therefore not ?

Tugdual : no not at all. Koh-Lanta it is a game and just a game. We know that there will only be one winner and that he must give everything to achieve it. I can’t blame him because if I myself had been the ambassador I would have had no qualms about removing someone from my team. In all honesty.

Gala : With the benefit of hindsight, will conduct you to your adventure differently ?

Tugdual : Unfortunately, Koh-Lanta is a game in which luck plays a lot. And I haven’t had, especially at the time of the recomposition of the teams. I did not fell on the good side, I was in a group in numerical inferiority. In the first part of the game, I checked a few things and decisions, but after I lost all control. I have suffered for ten days. Each time there was a collective decision to take, these are the elders who gave their opinion and that he had to follow. We, behind, we had to accept with the smile, because it must be so much to see.

Gala : Are you in spite of all satisfied with your adventure ?

Tugdual : Yes. 23 days is still not bad, but I’m frustrated not to have lived through the reunification that for 15 minutes. I would have liked it to be later. I have already had the chance to be selected to do Koh-Lanta, just that it is amazing. I have lived great moments, it is a great experience.

Gala : What are you come to seek in participating in Koh-Lanta ?

Tugdual : Nothing specific to share, win and make me happy. It was just for the game, the adventure, I had no personal goal. I am a fan of the program and I really want to do the tests for me also. I am 27 years old, nothing holding me back for the moment, it was the right time in my life for me to launch.

Gala : Have you in spite of everything learned things about you ?

Tugdual : Yes, and it is this that is funny. I went into the game without expectations and I have learned lot of things about me. I thought that I was stronger mentally, I left the knife between the teeth, saying to me : “sleep on the floor, do not eat, I should arrive there “. And then finally, especially in the last days, from a mental point of view, it was the emotional lift. In the morning, I was happy and in the afternoon I wondered what I was doing on Koh Lanta. It was a succession of moments like this that made me say that Koh-Lanta it was a lot more difficult than I thought and that I was perhaps not as strong as I thought before arriving. The other thing that I was pleasantly surprised, it is the lack of loved ones. Since I was 18 years old, I spent most of my life abroad, to study and work. I’m so used to being away from my family, from me. Ca to me has already happened that I spent a month without a call and without it I have no problem with, but then in the game, the lack has been incredible. This is crazy. On television, when we see people crying it is said that they are exaggerating, but in fact not, she is so tired, to flower of skin that sometimes cracks. It happened to me and it surprised me because this is really not in my temperament.

Gala : If you don’t have to keep just a single frame from your adventure, what would it be ?

Tugdual : The first victory on the game of immunity with the yellow. The puzzle with the painting to do, it was very late and we managed to win. It was a powerful moment that we shared together.

Gala : What is the feedback of your friends and family by what they see of you on television ?

Tugdual : They recognize me as I am. They are frustrated to see that I am not in the right team, but otherwise they are happy. On the other hand, what is nice it is the people that I approach them on the street. It doesn’t happen to me often, but sometimes when I go out from me, people stop me to ask questions or make selfies, it is very positive. I know that it will not last long, but it does not pose any problem for me, I have the feet on the ground.
