Koh-Lanta[]

A member of the Kanawa tribe, Pierre entered into an alliance of five led by Jérôme Villaseque and also including Christine Isoart, Véronique Lobjoie, and Thierry Ramos. This alliance was socially distant with the minority trio of Francis Bordas, Sylvie Sébert, and Eliane Vigneron and the two sides held various criticisms of each other. Despite this, when the Kanawa tribe lost the second Immunity Challenge, Sylvie and Eliane joined the majority alliance in unanimously voting out Francis because he had injured his leg in the second Reward Challenge, though the majority alliance also voted against Francis because they were tired of his excuses for failing to catch fish. When Sylvie was evacuated and eliminated from the game on Day 9 because of her state of health and because she had had enough of the hostile environment around camp, Francis returned to the game in her place.

When the Kumo tribe won the fourth Reward Challenge on Day 11, which was a 24-hour challenge that the tribes had started the day before and which consisted of tribe members accomplishing certain tasks for points, they were rewarded with the right to permanently kidnap one of the members of the Kanawa tribe as part of a tribe switch. The Kumo tribe chose Jérôme, who was the assumed leader of the Kanawa tribe, and he was deemed immune at the next Tribal Council in order to give him a better chance at integrating into his new tribe. With the exception of the absences of Sylvie and Jérôme, the social dynamics at the Kanawa camp were back to the way things were before with Francis and Eliane in the minority against a majority alliance. When the Kanawa tribe lost the fifth Immunity Challenge, the majority alliance initially had more interest in keeping Eliane around over Francis because they deemed her more useful than him in camp life and in challenges, However, when she entered a heated argument with Christine and Véronique on the day of Tribal Council, the majority alliance changed their minds as they felt that her attitude was too volatile and she was voted out that night instead. After Eliane's elimination, Francis, the only remaining Kanawa tribe member outside of the majority alliance, tried to bury the hatchet with the rest of his tribe and successfully developed better relationships with his tribemates. Meanwhile, Thierry began to slack off around camp and had a lacklustre performance in the sixth Immunity Challenge, to which the Kanawa tribe lost by a landslide. In response, the Kanawa tribe sensed that Thierry had "given up" on the game and he was voted out unanimously over Francis, who was now in amity with the rest of the tribe.

Before the merge, Alexis Tournier and Pierre were designated the Ambassadors of their respective tribes and visited each other's camps. After Mohamed Derradji won the first individual Immunity Challenge after the tribes merged, Alexis and Pierre interviewed all of their tribemates but Mohamed individually in order to receive their pleas for why they should not receive the Ambassadors' vote. At the Ambassadors' Meeting, Alexis and Pierre agreed that Sakhone Holaphong was the only person that they interviewed who didn't seem to have the passion to stay in the game. Pierre insisted on naming Sakhone as the Ambassadors' vote, but Alexis did not initially agree to this because he did not want to leave the original Kumo tribe members vulnerable to a pagonging in case Jérôme were to flip back to his old allies. Alexis conceded on writing Sakhone's name, however, because he knew that if the Ambassadors could not come to a consensus, he would have a fifty-fifty chance of being the Ambassadors' vote himself. Despite some disagreement from some of the original Kumo tribe members over Alexis' concession, most of the tribe agreed with the Ambassadors about Sakhone's lack of passion and he was eliminated almost unanimously at the merged tribe's first Tribal Council. In spite of the general unity behind the first merge elimination, the original Kumo tribe members were vexed at Jérôme because he made it very apparent that he was going to work with his fellow original Kanawa tribe members throughout the merge, such as when he put back on the red shirt that he wore during his time on the Kanawa tribe. When the original Kumo tribe members realized that they could flip Francis over to their side, they approached him with the possibility of him joining them in voting out Jérôme. In spite of burying the hatchet with the other original Kanawa tribe members a few cycles prior, Francis ultimately flipped on them and Jérôme was voted out.

Following this, Pierre tried to build his rapport in the tribe by conversing more with the former Kumo tribe members and Francis, though there was debate on whether he was doing this out of sincerity or strategy. Pierre told his tribemates that he was being genuine and he managed to survive two more Tribal Councils. With Christine eliminated for her challenge strength and Coumba Baradji eliminated for her decreased interest in the game, Pierre had nowhere to hide at the Final Six and it was evident that the person going home would be either him or Véronique. Véronique was more successful at maintaining her rapport with the majority alliance and Pierre received the majority of the votes at that Tribal Council.
