Koh-Lanta[]
For the opening challenge for rice and for the power to choose their tribemates, Christopher was partnered with Nathalie Ensargueix, Frédéric Favier, and Carole Rapin. The team won the challenge and selected Bertrand Bolle, Christelle Gauzet, Christophe Guttatoro-Martin, and Morgane Rodriguès to be a part of the Tayak tribe with them. 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. 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.
In the second individual Immunity Challenge, Christopher qualified for the final round, which was the Waiting to Exhale challenge, and won individual immunity after having held his breath underwater for over three minutes. However, this feat had taken its toll on Christopher's body and, the next day, he was evacuated to the infirmary as he was suffering from irregular heartbeat patterns. At the merged tribe's second Tribal Council, Christopher cast his vote from the infirmary and he cast it against Nathalie because the original Tayak tribe members still thought that she was being somewhat lazy and because the males of this group wanted to cancel her attempts at making an all-female alliance. However, Christopher was unaware that his allies had changed their plans and voted 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, Christopher's evacuation became permanent as he had to go to the hospital for more tests and he was eliminated from the game. His unorthodox elimination allowed for Hakim to return to the game in his place.
Despite making it deep enough into the game to be a part of the jury, Christopher did not become a juror because his medical emergency rendered him unable to remain at the jury residence for the remainder of the game.
