Esteban and Tania were very close in Koh-Lanta, the Sacred Fire and yet fate opposed them this Tuesday, May 16, during an unprecedented duel won by the latter. The outgoing candidate returns for us to the bond that unites them, his regrets concerning her, and the desire to see la candidate “phoenix” went as far as possible… Beaten by Tania, the youngest of the season, at the end of the duel of the sacred fire and the test of the clay pots to be kept in balance with the force of a thigh, Esteban definitively left the adventure… Unless a forthcoming abandonment brings him back into the game again, as he says he hopes.
Esteban eliminated from Koh-Lanta 2023 : “I thought I was going to go straight back into the game…“
However, surprised by this confrontation, Esteban confesses to having enjoyed living this moment: “By winning the duel against ClemencyI thought I was going to go straight back into the game. When I realized that I had to fight again to get back into the camp, I was not excpecting that at all. On the other hand, I was happy to be faced with Tania because he’s a person I adore and even one of my most beautiful discoveries in this game! I prefer to spend a pleasant day with her on “the island of the banished” (in fact the former yellow camp, editor’s note) rather than with Clémence… At least we had a good time!“

Esteban returns to his complicity with Tania in Koh-Lanta : “This moment together on this island is one of my best memories…“
A feeling shared by the dietician of the Paris region who explains in the episode broadcast this Tuesday, May 16: “With Esteban, we have this fairly strong bond from the boat… We are both competitors.” After his defeat, Esteban knew how to appreciate the moment, to the point of becoming one of his best memories: “I knew that if I beat her, it was one of the people I liked the most who was going to leave… It was our last chance! In the end, this moment together on this island is one of my most beautiful memories even if one of us was going to see his torch go out.
Esteban (Koh-Lanta 2023) : “Having voted against Tania is the only thing I regret in the game”
The 40-year-old hawker even admits that she and Julie were the people he felt closest to among the adventurers still in the running. In addition to Rudy, eliminated at the end of episode 5 aired on March 21, which also remains “one of his best encounters“. However, this friendship may seem confusing since Esteban had voted against it during episode 4 broadcast on March 14… He explains: “We didn’t see it on TV but at a council meeting I openly told everyone and even in front of Denis Brogniart that the thing I regretted the most in the game was having voted against Tania in the beginning. I voted against her, when I didn’t want to do it because we had a numerical superiority… I listened to the rumors in the hallway, there was an alliance between Helena, Rudy etc who wanted to vote against it… I followed the pack to avoid shooting myself in the footI had no choice but to vote against it. I didn’t want to be alone against everyone. More it’s really the only vote that I don’t assume. I regret. That’s why afterwards I catch up and try somehow to make her understand that she can trust me, and it’s true!

Will the adventurer eliminated from the TF1 game vote for Tania if she is in the final? He answers
At the end of the episode, while Tania shows a little pain at having eliminated her adventure companion, Esteban sends her his anger and confides to her that he hopes to see her defend her chances on the posts during the final… He even promises her his vote if she finds herself in the last two survivors. Does he commit to it? “Oui, I would vote 100% for her, even against Julie! I gave my word. In addition she fought against me. We are both a bit like the phoenixes of the sacred fire : she always had a lot of votes against her… She’s really a girl that I adore because of her behavior and her smile. She deserves this!” he confides to us without any hesitation.
