As I had probably mentioned in one of my previous text, I'm not a big fan of Television. In fact, since I lived for fourteen months without a TV back when I lived in a tiny student room in Liège Belgium between 2015 and 2016, I kept this habbit of relying on other means to entertain myself and keep inormed of what happens on earth. However, I do have an appointment I wouldn't miss whatever happens. Indeed, every friday night unless an impediment, I would be for sure in front of my screen watching "Koh-Lanta", a TV show that passes on the French channel TF1.

To resume the concept of the show, it is basically some random people that are brought in a desert island and who have to survive during forty days. They are usually devided into two distinct teams that compet again each other in order to earn some assets which would make their surviving easier but also to stay on track and avoid to be eliminated. At the end of the game, the last survivor is obviously the big winner of the game, and comes back home with such a generous check!

The very first season was in 2001 in Thailand, more accurately in the wild yet wonderful island of Koh Lanta. Indeed, that’s why this show has been named like that. Given the fact that the title met a huge success (probably because of the exotic connotation), they decided to keep this name even though the next seasons have occured in various places like vietnam, Fiji islands, New Zealand and... In fact, the production never came back to Koh Lanta anymore, but the name sticks.

I have mentioned that the show first started in 2001 and kept going on TV every year since then (some years they have even made two differents seasons), which I assume you will agree with me, is such a huge performance! Indeed, Nowadays it's super tough to creat a good program, yet it's even more tricky to maintain it! The key to do so is to be creative and constantly come up with brand new ideas. In this specific field, I think the team behind the show is excellent! The truth is that no season looks like the last one! They always manage to step up the game and take it to the next level. Moreover, I find that they never reclame old concepts. Instead, they innovate.

In my case, the main reason why I have been following this program for so long is to see the behaviors of human being. What I find fascinating, is that under such tough conditions just like those who the participants are actually experiencing during the show, you are able to see the real face of people! No matter if you are a doctor, an ingineer or and uneducated person, when it comes to survive, your real instinct will appear undoubtedly! I'm amazed how much some people can learn about themselves and eventually evolve to new persons, and in the other hand how some others who might seem to be a certain type turn out to be a completly different version.

Besides that, I also really like the amazing production in overall, the quality of the footage and the beautiful landscapes and so on. I highly recommend you to check this out. I think that there are different versions available in numerous counties, so maybe there is one in yours?
