Koh-Lanta

A member of the chaotic Boro tribe, Philippe spent the first few days of the game building a good shelter for his tribe with Richard Lecourt, who had squabbled with Philippe earlier over the location of their camp on the map, and Antoine Sanchez. At the first elimination, Philippe voted with the majority against Richard for his lack of affinity with the tribe's members. Over time, Philippe maintained connections with most of his tribe, but, like most of the tribe, he didn't get along with Hélène Patry, who he believed was educated but lacked emotional intelligence, and Linda Penard, who was often at the centre of the tribe's conflict. On Day 11, Philippe became lethargic and on Day 13, he was evacuated for examination. Despite not being present at the elimination that his tribe faced later that day, he had experienced enough of the tribe's dynamics over that cycle to make an informed decision and voted correctly against Linda. He was the first contestant in Koh-Lanta history to vote while evacuated, but, unfortunately, his evacuation became permanent on Day 14 due to an infection that was discovered and he did not return. The rules of Koh-Lanta state that in the event of an unorthodox elimination of a contestant, the previously eliminated contestant would reenter the game in place of the other contestant. However, in this case, previously eliminated contestant Linda Penard refused to return to the game in Philippe's place due to the tension between her and Moundir, so, instead, the person voted out at the tenth elimination on Day 31 was exiled for 48 hours rather than eliminated.
