Joana, a 34-year-old hairdresser and masseur from the Paris region, was eliminated from the French reality TV show Koh-Lanta All Stars on TF1. She was sent to the "island of the outcasts" with her teammate Maxime, where both had to face a final test against five other contestants to try to rejoin the main game. While Maxime and Charlotte were given a second chance, Joana failed to win back her place, ending her participation in the show. Joana did not express any resentment toward Maxime, acknowledging that he had performed better and deserved the victory. She admitted that he had made no mistakes and was stronger in the challenges. Joana represented the "revenge of the four lands" edition of Koh-Lanta, which aired in 2025. Her journey began with significant difficulties, as she and Maxime were eliminated during the first council of the season. They were then sent to the "island of the outcasts" on probation, where they had to compete again to rejoin the game. After six days of isolation and tension with Maxime, Joana failed to win back her spot in the competition. She described the experience as disappointing, feeling she had not had enough time to demonstrate her abilities or fully participate in the show. She noted that being part of only three challenges, not even as part of a team, was difficult to live through. Despite her efforts, she felt something stronger than her own determination had prevailed, and she gave her all to return to the adventure. Joana found her time on the "island of the outcasts" with Maxime both physically and psychologically challenging. She felt that Maxime's approach was destabilizing and that he did not trust her enough. She believed that being in a duo should be about supporting each other rather than undermining one another. While she acknowledged Maxime's strength in challenges, she also noted his flaws. She did not feel any injustice or bitterness about his victory, recognizing that he had earned it. Joana expressed that she would have preferred a teammate with whom she had better chemistry but knew Maxime would be reliable in challenges. She reflected that she might have approached the game differently, perhaps being more strategic or less emotionally invested, but she did not regret her actions, as they allowed her to connect with other participants she still keeps in touch with today.
