Koh-Lanta: L'Île des Héros

Koh-Lanta: L'Île des Héros is the sixth special season of Koh-Lanta and the twenty-fourth season overall. It was broadcast on TF1 from February 21 to June 5, 2020.
Naoil Tita defeated Inès Loucif in a 7-2 jury vote to become the Sole Survivor.
==Production==
This season was originally planned to run 11 episodes. However, due to the , four episodes (5-6, 8-9, 12-13, and 14-15) were divided in two parts, in hopes that lockdown would be over in time for the live finale reunion. This decision payed out, as lockdown in France ended in May and the reunion was able to be held on June 5.
==Twists/Changes==
* Heroes Island: While fourteen new castaways enter the season, five former castaways return for another chance to win, starting the game as the Heroes and living on an island apart from the two tribes of new players. In order to enter the main game, they must compete in two entry challenges where the two winners earn a spot in one of the two tribes, along with individual immunity at the following Tribal Council should their new tribe lose the corresponding Immunity Challenge. The first entry challenge is held on Day 2, with the two winners joining a tribe after the Day 4 Reward Challenge. Heroes Island ends on Day 9 with the second entry challenge, as the two winners immediately join a tribe and the remaining Hero who finished last in the challenge is eliminated from the game.
* Immunity Necklaces: The first two Immunity Necklaces (equivalent of Hidden Immunity Idols in Koh-Lanta) are up for grabs at an opening challenge held at the marooning, before the formation of the tribes. The first one is only playable at the first Tribal Council attended by its holder, while the second one, which is harder to retrieve, is last playable at the first post-merge Tribal Council. Two other Immunity Necklaces are hidden afterwards, one on each tribe's camp, and those are also valuable until the first post-merge Tribal Council. Finally, other Immunity Necklaces with no limited valuability are hidden after the merge.
* Ambassadors: At the merge, both tribes must appoint a returning castaway and a new castaway from the opposite tribe to attend the ambassadors meeting, where their purpose is to directly eliminate a castaway from the game. If the four ambassadors do not agree on a name, a rock draw is held between the two pairs representing each tribe, and the pair that loses the draw competes in a duel where the loser is eliminated from the game.
* Black Vote: The Black Vote retains the mechanics introduced in : starting from the first post-merge Tribal Council, the person voted out gives to a remaining castaway the power to vote twice at the following Tribal Council. The Black Vote does not extend through a revote.
* Penalty Vote after Challenge: At three different challenges, the person or pair who comes in last receives an extra vote against them at the following Tribal Council. Those challenges are the Immunity Challenge in Episode 6, the Reward Challenge in Episode 8 (with the penalty vote taking effect in Episode 9 due to the original episode being divided in two parts), and the Immunity Challenge in Episode 10. Penalty votes do not extend through a revote.
* Tied Destinies: On Day 22, the ten remaining castaways are divided into five pairs by a rock draw. Until the next Tribal Council, the fate of each contestant is linked to their partner: the challenges are competed by pairs, and the person voted out at Tribal Council causes their partner's demise.
* Sudden Death Challenge: On Day 29, the castaway who comes in last in the Immunity Challenge is directly eliminated from the game.
* Replacements: Due to Claudia Chatel being evacuated before the first Tribal Council, Marie Ovaere entered the game on Day 3 to replace her. Also, due to two other evacuations, two castaways returned in the game after being eliminated.
*Final Five: The last five adventurers will go to the orienteering race.
