Jean-Charles, 40 ans
Fustier, Loire (42)

Jean-Charles a toujours été proche de la nature et soucieux de l'environnement. Après un début de carrière dans le Droit, il trouve sa voie : fustier ! Travailler le bois pour fournir des éléments de construction de maisons l'épanouit. Le mode de vie de ce quadragénaire est rustique, mais Jean-Charles a besoin de peu aujourd'hui pour être heureux : la nature, son chien et ses livres. La dureté de Koh-Lanta ne devrait pas l'impressionner.

Koh-Lanta[]

Jean-Charles was selected by Céline Dufrenoy to be a part of the Turung tribe. Though his tribe attended two Tribal Councils before the tribe dissolution, Jean-Charles was in the majority for both votes and did not receive any votes. When the tribe dissolution occurred, Jean-Charles was selected to be a member of the new Cadlao tribe by its captain, Louana Roy. As the swing vote on this new tribe consisting of himself, five original Ilog tribe members, and four original Nacpan tribe members, Jean-Charles easily made it to the merge, though the Cadlao tribe only attended two Tribal Councils before then anyway.

Throughout the earlier cycles of the merge, Jean-Charles joined his fellow original Cadlao tribe members in pagonging the original Matingi tribe members. At the Final Ten, the Tied Destinies twist took place and Jean-Charles was paired with Nicolas Bellon. Because each of the remaining original Matingi tribe members was paired with an original Cadlao tribe member, at least one original Cadlao tribe member would be eliminated this cycle. As Louana, who was paired with Maxime Tournoux, felt unsafe due to Maxime's unpopularity, she rallied her fellow original Ilog tribe members to target original Nacpan tribe members Géraldine Nicolle and Fouzi Ould Bouamama at the corresponding Tribal Council. Though Maxime was initially on board with this, he ultimately did not want to lose Géraldine and Fouzi, so he informed them of this plot and suggested that they target Nicolas, and in turn Jean-Charles as collateral damage, for his duplicity throughout the game. At Tribal Council, Géraldine, Fouzi, and Maxime executed one plan while Nicolas, Jean-Charles, and Louana executed another. However, the majority of votes were cast against Maxime, eliminating both Louana and Maxime from the game.

At the Final Eight, the winner and runner-up of the corresponding individual Reward Challenge, Bastien San Pedro and Ambre Daudet, selected Fouzi and Jean-Charles, respectively, to compete against each other and Olga Khokhlova, who had finished last in said challenge, in an elimination challenge the next day. Of the three, Fouzi finished last in the elimination challenge and, in turn, was eliminated from the game. As the survivors of the elimination challenge, Jean-Charles and Olga were allowed to select seven items from a chest to take with them back to camp. Among the items were two advantages that were a clue to a Hidden Immunity Necklace and an Extra Vote, both only useable at the corresponding Tribal Council. Jean-Charles took the clue and successfully made use of it while Olga took the Extra Vote. Throughout the cycle, it became evident that the original Ilog tribe members would be working together going forward and they recruited Bastien into their fold. Given that Olga had won the corresponding individual Immunity Challenge, this alliance made plans to split their votes between Jean-Charles and Géraldine at Tribal Council. Their plans seemed successful as only Jean-Charles had played a Hidden Immunity Necklace for himself at Tribal Council, however, they did not anticipate that Géraldine would be voting with Jean-Charles and Olga nor that Olga had an Extra Vote. Nicolas received all four of these outsider votes and was voted out.

The next cycle, at Tribal Council, Jean-Charles and Géraldine turned on each other out of self-preservation, however, Ambre and François Descamp were able to form a plurality thanks to the latter's Extra Vote and they voted out Olga. At the Orienteering challenge, Denis Brogniart announced that four contestants would be competing in the Perch challenge instead of the usual three. Jean-Charles secured the first spot in the Perch challenge, but lost said challenge to Géraldine. After the Perch challenge, Denis Brogniart revealed that, for the first time ever, three contestants would advance to the Final Tribal Council instead of the usual two. Géraldine chose François as one of her opponents, who in turn chose Bastien to be the other, eliminating Jean-Charles. He became the eleventh and final member of the jury.
