Ohé, Ohé, abandoned captain. Maxime could not have fully known the joys of reunification in “Koh-Lanta”. Tuesday evening on TF1, the ex-green and ex-captain of the Yellows was designated, unanimously, as the outgoing after the meeting of ambassadors. And this, when he had an immunity collar, that he promised, at the end of the episode, to give his mother. For “20 minutes”, the 33 -year -old Vosges returns to his adventure.
For you, “Koh-Lanta” is the dream of a life?
“” Koh-Lanta ” for me, it dates for a very long time (laughs). I discovered the show when I was not even of age. I immediately hung with the program, for its values, its change of scenery and also the jump into the unknown. At the time, I even scored my father, but I never had a return. Then, the years passed, I focused on my geography studies and I applied the first time to ” Koh-Lanta ” in 2015 (he was 23 years old). Then I held my luck five times. And finally, the sixth time was Bingo! »»
You were even appointed Captain of the Yellows …
“In the game, this role of captain can serve as well as serve. Serve if the victories are linked, but with the yellows, we have rather chained the defeats. In this case, we are looking for a culprit and we have to find a scapegoat … ”
… But not Eastern Ambassador!
“If Louise was appointed ambassador of the East, it is also because I wanted it. At that time, I told myself that she was going to work for me. I had great self -confidence because we were together in the game from the first day. I said to myself: ” It will pass like a letter in La Poste. ” I was on a little cloud, I had my immunity collar, I made my little plans on my side. I said to myself that I could be reunification, and even escape the following elimination. There, at this precise moment, I lacked lucidity and I rested too much on my laurels. »»
“” I will be able to bring my grain of salt in the “Koh-Lanta ” finale. »»
Do you want Louise?
“She did what she could at the meeting of ambassadors. Afterwards, when we saw the arguments that were put forward, she followed a little. She also thought of the instructions of the old green team. At the time, I wanted to Louise. But with hindsight, it faded. »»
Joana said you had “not the mind to be ambassador”. A reaction?
“Joana probably thought I was handling. After that, at this stage of the game, they do not yet know me well. She tried to do strategy, but clumsily. But, it is above all one of the most complete adventurers, both on the camp and on the events. There is no half measure with her. She has her side ” I always try to pull my well from the game ”. »»
Where do you think you failed?
“I was well in the strategy. What I missed, however, was this touch of lucidity. I have not analyzed the last moments well. I should have been more in the calculation, ask myself ” and if? ”, ” And why? ”… The person I want the most, is myself. I should have worn my captain’s bib and go to ambassadors. In short, I should have taken my destiny in hand. In addition, I do it in life. I also love everything that is flea market and negotiations, I could have done the job at the ambassadors. »»
What is your best memory?
“When I arrive on the first day on the island and I enter the forest, I realize that I am at” Koh-Lanta “. Afterwards, we find the water, it’s magic when you are a fan of the show. Being in it is magical, quite simply. »»
In the adventure, we see that you have a special relationship with trees …
“Trees are a natural cover. With them, we feel comforted, safe. The trees are soothing. The camp reminded me of the Vosges forests. »»
Have you given the necklace to your mother, as you announced at the end of the episode?
“No, I have not yet given the necklace, because our belongings are made later. I didn’t tell my mother anything, she discovers everything on television. »»
Member of the final jury, a bonus for you?
“I absolutely did not expect to become the first member of the final jury. I thought I was going to be the last adventurer from. I will be able to bring my grain of salt in the “Koh-Lanta ” finale. »»
Do you have a favorite?
“Frankly, I have no favorite in the Greens. Afterwards, Jérôme des Landes impressed me in the game. I like the personality of this guy. »»
In your portrait, you talk about your desire to open a thrift store. What about?
“I haven’t looked into the thrift store yet. On the other hand, I want to return to the United States more, and also on the side of Thailand. I prepare for new trips… ”
