Christophe, le Ch'ti de 2008 - Koh-Lanta 8 Caramoan - Eliminé le 24ème jour.
Il avait tout gagné avec les rouges, une équipe qui faisait corps derrière le chef incontesté Bertrand. Mais Christophe a voulu sortir du rang. Jugé ingrat, cette rébellion l'a perdu...
Christophe: "Cette fois-ci je pense que je suis prêt! Parole de Ch'ti!"...
Koh-Lanta[]
Caramoan[]
For the opening challenge for rice and for the power to choose their tribemates, Christophe was partnered with Régis Colombier, Charlène Hoffness, and Morgane Rodriguès. The team of Nathalie Ensargueix, Frédéric Favier, Christopher Lavaud, and Carole Rapin won the challenge and they selected Christophe to be a part of the Tayak tribe along with Bertrand Bolle, Christelle Gauzet, and Morgane. The Tayak tribe initially won the first Reward Challenge, in which the reward was fire, but the victory and the reward were transferred to the Mingao tribe later that day as it was discovered that Frédéric and Christopher had broken the rules at one point in the challenge.
Apart from this, the Tayak tribe's obvious strength over the Mingao tribe worked in their favour in challenges, allowing for the former to ulong the latter. During the third cycle, Christophe and Charlène were selected from their respective tribes by two locals, who were brother and sister, and the two contestants received tips on how to find certain plants and learned how to prepare them. Unfortunately for Christophe, he had forgotten what he had learned and, therefore, wasn't able to apply it when he returned to his tribe. The only time the Tayak tribe lost an Immunity Challenge was during the third cycle, in which they unanimously eliminated Morgane at the corresponding Tribal Council because of her deteriorating physical and emotional state. Though the remaining Tayak tribe members would all go on to secure places on the Merged Tribe, Nathalie was in the hot seat for her perceived laziness around camp and would have likely been voted out had they lost another Immunity Challenge.
Before the tribes merged, both designated tribe leaders, Bertrand and Jean-Bernard Hauton-Arnaud, were selected as the Ambassadors for their respective tribes and visited their rivals' camps. Both men spent their visits trying to get to know their rivals rather than discussing what the voting dynamics might become in the individual phase. However, Bertrand also hinted to the Mingao tribe members that there might be some people on his own tribe that are more deserving of the Ambassadors' vote than they are and Jean-Bernard also talked about Hakim Djellali and his funny behaviour around camp, but also implied that Hakim was the fellow Mingao tribe member that he'd be willing to lose first. At the Ambassadors' Meeting, Bertrand and Jean-Bernard quickly opted for a draw, which resulted in Bertrand receiving the Ambassadors' vote. However, this didn't matter as all of the original Tayak tribe members, with the exception of Christophe and along with Hakim, who had very quickly socialized with the original Tayak tribe members come merge, voted out Jean-Bernard because of his status as the leader of his alliance, his challenge prowess, and his negative attitude and criticisms concerning Hakim.
At the Final Ten, the original Tayak tribe members made plans to vote out one of their own, Nathalie, because they still thought that she was being somewhat lazy around camp. On top of this reason, the alliance's men wanted to cancel Nathalie's attempts at making an all-female alliance. However, the day of the merged tribe's second Tribal Council, Christopher was evacuated to the infirmary as he was suffering from irregular heartbeat patterns. This prompted the original Tayak tribe members, with the exception of Nathalie, who was out of the loop, and Christopher, who was at the infirmary, to change their plans and vote out Hakim instead. They did this as they didn't want the original Mingao tribe members to go into the Final Nine with four in numbers, including Jean-Bernard, if Christopher were to be permanently evacuated from the game before the vote. The next day, when Christopher was permanently evacuated and eliminated from the game because he needed to go to the hospital for more tests, Hakim returned to the game in his place. The Final Nine saw a lot of tension between Bertrand and Christophe, which resulted in Christophe's status in the tribe dissolving very quickly. According to Christophe, when the merged tribe returned to camp after Hakim's first elimination, Bertrand erroneously thought that Christophe had not voted against Hakim and told him that he was brainless for not following his instructions. However, according to Bertrand, Christophe had refused to give an opinion on Nathalie when Denis Brogniart asked him for one during that Tribal Council, which is why he approached him back at camp and told him that a man without an opinion is brainless. Regardless of which version of events was the truth, Christophe felt insulted and insecure because he wasn't as formally educated as everyone else. This, along with losing to Bertrand during the men's heat of the third individual Reward Challenge, sparked Christophe to approach Frédéric with an idea to eliminate Bertrand on the basis of him being too authoritarian as an alliance leader. Frédéric told Christophe that it would be hard to rally votes from the rest of the tribe, though he could try, and that he himself would not vote against Bertrand. When Christophe tried to rally Nathalie's vote, she felt that he was being too threatening and told Bertrand about Christophe's scheming soon after that. As a result, Bertrand developed respect for Nathalie due to her loyalty and Christophe replaced Nathalie as the black sheep of the original Tayak tribe members. With the entire tribe, even the original Mingao tribe members, losing their respect for Christophe as they thought that his scheming was treasonous, he was outcasted by the tribe for the remainder of the cycle. At the corresponding Tribal Council, Christophe was voted out unanimously.

Le Choc des Héros[]
Christophe entered the competition as one of the returning players, so he was assigned to the Tiac tribe. They immediately competed in the first Reward Challenge and lost it against the Malabou tribe, which consisted of renowned French athletes. In spite of this loss, which resulted in them missing out on a niaouli roof reward to use as part of their shelter, the Tiac tribe was confident that they would be able to construct a shelter superior to that of their rivals based on their past experience on Koh-Lanta. The next day, Christina Chevry became stressed and expressed a desire to quit the competition. Christina's tribemates succeeded in calming her down, especially Linda Alario, who consoled her and motivated her to keep fighting for her team in a one-on-one conversation. The Tiac tribe narrowly won the first Immunity Challenge and, on top of this, they succeeded in starting a fire that evening. The next morning, the Tiac tribe feasted on periwinkles and sea urchins to the point where they were full and could not eat anymore, which is a state not often experienced by castaways on the show.
Right before the second Reward Challenge, Hot Pursuit, both tribes received a new member: Mohamed Derradji was assigned to the Tiac tribe and Taïg Khris was assigned to the Malabou tribe. The Tiac tribe lost this challenge. The next day, the Tiac tribe narrowly won the second Immunity Challenge, earning them safety from Tribal Council again. The Tiac tribe won the third Reward Challenge, but they were clearly divided by the end of the day with Linda, Freddy Boucher, and Grégoire Delachaux in one alliance, Coumba Baradji, Christina, and Mohamed in another, and Christophe seeming to be a potential swing vote for the two alliances. Coumba and Mohamed made separate attempts to recruit Christophe into their alliance with Mohamed suggesting to him that they take out Freddy, but Christophe responded that he would think about it. Christophe also told Mohamed that taking out Freddy would be a bad idea and that he should be careful not to rebel too much, reminding Mohamed of his own mistake in dealing with Bertrand Bolle in Caramoan. That night, the Tiac tribe gathered around in order for Mohamed to express his feelings about not being their leader, which was a role that Mohamed wanted to take on but couldn't as he did not have enough social capital to do so since he was the newest member of the tribe. Eventually, the tribe's conversation turned into a conflict with some tribe members angrily expressing their issues with other tribe members. After losing the third Immunity Challenge the next day, Coumba's alliance planned to target Linda for her conflicts with Christina instead of targeting Freddy while Freddy's alliance planned to target Mohamed for being the perceived catalyst of the tribe's disarray instead of targeting Christina, who had felt like quitting earlier in the competition. At Tribal Council, Christophe sided with Freddy's alliance, resulting in Mohamed's elimination.
The Tiac tribe lost the fourth Reward Challenge against the Malabou tribe by a landslide. After the challenge, Denis Brogniart surprised the castaways by informing them that they would be merging that day and that both tribes would need to quickly select their respective Ambassadors to compete in a duel. He also informed them that a failure for the Ambassadors to reach a consensus on who to eliminate would result in the loser of the duel being eliminated instead. This was unlike the previous two seasons in which a failure for the Ambassadors to reach a consensus on who to eliminate would result in the two having to opt for a rock draw to determine who between them would be eliminated instead. The Malabou tribe selected Taïg to be their Ambassador and the Tiac tribe selected Christina to be theirs. Christina won the duel against Taïg, which granted her immunity at the merged tribe's first Tribal Council, immunity from being eliminated as an Ambassador, and, in turn, power over Taïg to ensure that a Malabou tribe member is eliminated by the Ambassadors and not a Tiac tribe member. Taïg revealed to Christina that, after being selected to be his tribe's Ambassador, he was approached by Djamel Bouras, Frédérique Jossinet, and Myriam Lamare and the four agreed that he should offer Gwendal's name should he lose the duel. Therefore, Christina and Taïg agreed upon Gwendal and he was eliminated from the game. After Christina and Taïg returned to camp and broke the news, the original Malabou tribe members explained to Gwendal that they had made this pact because they felt that he was the least deserving among them to continue forward through the game due to his arrogance during the tribal phase of the game. With the individual phase of the game beginning, the original Malabou tribe members made plans to vote based on who they thought was the least sportive of the tribe. However, the original Tiac tribe members made plans to pagong the original Malabou tribe members, though Coumba temporarily considered flipping to the other side due to being at the bottom of her alliance along with Christina. Their first target was to be Frédérique, who they feared would be good at the Perch challenge should she make it that far into the competition. Upon realizing that they were going to be pagonged, the original Malabou tribe members expressed their frustrations and changed their plans, opting to vote together against Freddy, who was considered one of the leaders of the original Tiac tribe members. Meanwhile, the original Tiac tribe members changed their plans as well, choosing to target Djamel because they realized that he would be a physical threat in the short-term and that he needed to eat more than the rest of the tribe. Thus, at Tribal Council, Djamel was voted out in a 6-4 vote.
Upon returning from Tribal Council, Christina was temporarily evacuated from the game due to her emotional stress taking a toll on her body. The next day, Frédérique and Myriam generally avoided tasks around camp and tried to relax in order to get themselves ready for the next two challenges, the second of which being crucial for their survival in the game. Linda and Christophe were critical of this, stating that they looked like they were on holiday. Later, when Grégoire began to relax somewhat himself, Myriam told him that he should go fishing. This comment was taken poorly by most of the original Tiac tribe members, who felt that she was talking to him as if he hasn't been active around camp. Though Grégoire did go fishing soon after, the tensions throughout the day developed a rift beyond strategic reasons between the original Malabou tribe members and the original Tiac tribe members. Christina returned to camp the next morning and received a warm reception from her tribemates. Soon after, Taïg pricked his hand with the spiny dorsal fin of a fish he caught which turned out to be venomous. With his hands being temporarily paralyzed and his feeling as if there were ants crawling all over his body, Taïg was quickly treated by a medic who remedied the situation but also deemed Taïg unfit to compete in the second individual Immunity Challenge. In consequence, Taïg was immune from receiving any votes at the corresponding Tribal Council, but also could not cast a vote either. After Frédérique won the second individual Immunity Challenge, Denis Brogniart revealed to the merged tribe that Tribal Council would be taking place right there and then. With Myriam being the only original Malabou tribe member eligible for elimination, Christina believed that her fellow original Tiac tribe members would be voting against her. However, Christina was blindsided by her allies in a 5-2-1 vote because they were concerned for her health. Throughout the next cycle, tensions between the two alliances were alleviated and there was more harmony around camp. This did not change the plans of the original Tiac tribe members though who resumed their pagonging of the original Malabou tribe members. When Freddy and Myriam won the second individual Reward Challenge, the latter tried to convince the former to consider voting based on merit instead of voting strategically. Freddy seemed to agree with Myriam on this, however, he ultimately stuck to his alliance's plan. When Myriam won the third individual Immunity Challenge, Frédérique was voted out at the corresponding Tribal Council.
Upset from realizing that they were still being pagonged, the remaining original Malabou tribe members slept together on the beach away from the original Tiac tribe members, who were sleeping in the shelter. The next night, the merged tribe had to experience heavy rain that continued into the following morning, which affected their morale going into the fourth individual Immunity Challenge. While Grégoire and Christophe went fishing, Myriam became closer to Coumba and had the same discussion about valuing merit over strategy with her as she did with Freddy. After Myriam won the fourth individual Immunity Challenge, which marked her fourth individual challenge win this season, Denis Brogniart revealed to the merged tribe that Tribal Council would be taking place right there and then like two cycles prior. Taïg was left as the only original Malabou tribe member eligible for elimination, so he was voted out by the original Tiac tribe members. The next day, the tribe had to send two people to collect letters from home from the summit of a nearby small mountain. Linda and Christophe went to retrieve the letters and each tribe member had received one. Linda won the fourth individual Reward Challenge, which was for a phone call to a loved one and a night at a hotel. Denis Brogniart informed Linda that she could forfeit her reward to give all of her tribemates a night at the hotel instead and give one of them the phone call. Linda chose to forfeit her reward for her tribemates and gave the phone call to Christophe. While at the hotel, Myriam seized an opportunity to talk to Coumba and Christophe about voting based on merit instead of based on strategy. Meanwhile, back at camp, Linda had a rough night alone as she tried to balance both sleeping and tending to the fire. The following afternoon, the contestants competed in their last individual Immunity Challenge before the finale, which Grégoire won. At the corresponding Tribal Council, Myriam was voted out unanimously as the last original Malabou tribe member standing.
Having made it to the finale, Christophe was eliminated at the Final Three after Grégoire won the Perch challenge and took Freddy to the Final Two instead of him.
