Koh-Lanta (season 5)

Koh-Lanta: Pacific was the fifth season of the French version of Survivor Koh-Lanta. This season was held in New Caledonia on the Isle of Pines. It was broadcast on TF1 from Tuesday July 5, 2005 to Tuesday August 31, 2004. The two tribes original tribes this season were Kanawa and Kumo. Episode one of this saw the first ever double tribal council to occur in the history of Koh-Lanta. The reason for this was because it was discovered that the Kumo tribe had all openly discussed who would be leaving at the first tribal council. Due to the voluntary exit of Sylvie, a joker, Caroline entered the game in episode three. This also caused the re-entrance of Francis into the competition.

Controversy

A Puffinus pacificus.

During the broadcast of the second episode (July 8, 2005 in France and July 10, 2005 in New Caledonia)[1], participants had to kill and cook Puffinus pacificus, a species of fully protected bird in New Caledonia. This caused that several spectators demanded explanations to the TF1 channel. TF1 responded that according to the LPO (in English; League for the Protection of Birds), Puffinus pacificus are not a protected species. LPO asked the CSA (broadcasting regulator in France) to take up the case, and the latter also decided to initiate legal action against TF1 and the producer of the Adventure Line Productions program.

The petition against the production company was accepted, therefore TF1 was ordered to pay the LPO € 1,000 in damages and € 2,000 for procedural expenses, while the TF1 channel lawsuit against the LPO was rejected.[2]

Notes

1. As punishment for the Kumo tribe having openly agreed amongst themselves who would be voted out at the first tribal council, they were forced to vote out a second person at their first tribal council.
2. As the two ambassadors for their respective tribes, Alexis and Pierre were asked to agree on one person who would have a vote cast against them automatically at the seventh tribal council. They chose to vote for Sakhone.
