==Koh-Lanta==
Before the contestants even got on the boat, Denis Brogniart informed them that they would have to immediately decide upon two among them to not join the rest on the boat. Believing that this was an elimination, Véronique Bègue and Boris Deltell sacrificed themselves for the other contestants. The other sixteen contestants said their goodbyes and got on the boat, which was headed to an island where they would be divided into two tribes the next day. When swimming to this island from the boat, Alain Merdel almost drowned, but Claude Dartois saved him and helped him get to the island. As the contestants trekked towards the north side of the island, Virginie Mercadal Pioli cut her upper eyelid by bumping into a branch. That night, Vivien Escouflaire and Alain found the island's watering hole and the sixteen contestants settled in for the night. The next day, they finished their trek and Denis Brogniart revealed that the two tribes would be divided by gender. Thus, Jean-Pierre was assigned to the Do tribe and they immediately competed against the Vang tribe in their first Reward Challenge, which they lost. Upon arriving at their camp, they encountered Véronique, who had arrived there the day before by helicopter and who would be their sole female tribemate instead of being eliminated. Within the same hour, the Do tribe succeeded, in huge part thanks to Philippe Duron, in making fire. Meanwhile, Vivien seemed helpless throughout the day as he didn't contribute much around camp, he felt unwell due to fatigue and the heat, and he even got lost in the darkness when fetching water before the tribe went to sleep. The next day, the Do tribe won the first Immunity Challenge, earning them safety from Tribal Council.
The Do tribe won the second Reward Challenge and, in turn, selected Abdellah Akriche, Véronique, and Kunlé M'Babacéré Pakorona to purchase fruits for them from a Vietnamese market as part of the reward. Meanwhile, the remaining members of the Do tribe, with the exception of Vivien, resumed work on the shelter that they had started constructing the day before upon returning to camp. The next day, the Do tribe lost the second Immunity Challenge. Upon their victory, the Vang tribe was offered the right to exchange Boris for Véronique, however, they turned down this offer. Though Vivien knew that Tribal Council was looming and that he may be in danger, he remained withdrawn from doing camp chores. In spite of this, he woke up early the next morning and began to contribute more. At Tribal Council, Denis Brogniard commented that he had never seen a tribe as tight as the Do tribe before on Koh-Lanta. However, someone had to be eliminated and Vivien was voted out unanimously for his inactivity around camp and his weakness. The beginning of the next cycle worked out positively for the Do tribe as they won the third Reward Challenge, Blind Leading the Blind, against the Vang tribe and, in turn, won fishing equipment. Additionally, they were able to send Philippe and Jean-Pierre to go fishing for squid with some local fishermen. The next day, Claude, Philippe, and Kunlé formed an alliance and agreed to incorporate Alain and Jean-Pierre into the fold, with the common factor for the five being that they were the most active among their tribemates around camp, especially concerning the tribe's shelter.
When the two tribes arrived for the third Immunity Challenge, Denis Brogniart surprised them with a sudden tribe switch. Since they were, respectively, the youngest and oldest active contestants, Jennifer Lieutaud and Jean-Pierre were given the right to divide themselves and the other fourteen contestants into two tribes in a Schoolyard Pick with each tribe having an equal number of men and women. Jennifer's tribe won the third Immunity Challenge and they were given the right to select which camp to return to. Without hesitation, they chose to return to the Do camp, making them the second Do tribe. Philippe, now one of the members of the second Vang tribe, was upset by this turn of events because he and his other three male tribemates were essentially forced to start fresh on a comparatively empty camp while relinquishing the results of their hard work to a mostly laidback second Do tribe. At the Vang camp, Virginie showed the tribe's new members around the camp and continued to work hyperactively. The newcomers were impressed with Virginie's work ethic, which seemed to juxtapose that of the majority of the original Vang tribe based on the state of the camp. The next morning, Alain was temporarily evacuated from the game due to a dizzy spell and was exempt from attending Tribal Council later that night. Meanwhile, the other men and Véronique planned to vote based on tribal lines, putting Aurélie Gasser, Virginie, and Marine Plissonneau on the chopping block since they were in the minority. Hoping that one or more of the men may flip to their side, the minority alliance voted against Véronique at Tribal Council for her challenge weakness. However, the majority alliance stayed strong and voted out Virginie who, in spite of her strong work ethic, they found difficult to talk to due to her hyperactivity. When Alain was permanently evacuated and eliminated from the game on Day 10 after the medics deemed that he needed more time to recover, Virginie returned to the game in his place. The Vang tribe won the fourth Reward Challenge, Memory, in part thanks to Aurélie's familiarity with similar games due to her experience as a leisure center animator. The next day, the Vang tribe constructed their raft for the fourth Immunity Challenge and, though it was superior to that of the Do tribe, they lost said challenge the day after because their rivals made a strategic risk during the race that paid off. At Tribal Council, Virginie was voted out by the majority alliance again for the same reasons as before.
The fifth Reward Challenge began on Day 13 and consisted of the tribes going on a trek to retrieve as many of their own plaques as possible, which would be returned to the starting line on Day 14. Before the challenge began, the two tribes competed in a mini-challenge to determine which of them would be assigned to the easier path. The Vang tribe won this mini-challenge and, in turn, was assigned to the dragon path, which was the less taxing of the two paths. On their way to their checkpoint where they would be staying for the night, the Vang tribe worked in a cohesive manner and managed to give themselves a slight edge over their rivals by quickly retrieving plaques. After a nice night at their checkpoint, the Vang tribe headed back to the starting line and, after the Vang tribe had mistakenly retrieved a plaque designated for the Do tribe, both teams arrived with 18 plaques that counted. In order to break the tie, the two tribes competed in another mini-challenge, which the Vang tribe won. The next day, which was the day of the fifth Immunity Challenge and the corresponding Tribal Council, Jean-Pierre decided that he would be voting based on merit going forward instead of on tribal lines as his alliance had done for the previous two Tribal Councils. To the dismay of Aurélie and Marine, the Vang tribe lost the fifth Immunity Challenge and Denis Brogniart revealed to them that Tribal Council would be taking place right there and then. There, Jean-Pierre voted against Aurélie for not being as strong in challenges as Marine and for not being as active around camp as Véronique and the men, but the rest of his alliance surprised him by voting out Marine. That evening, Jean-Pierre confronted the men in his alliance on their decision to vote out Marine, who he felt was the strongest of the tribe's women in challenges, and stated that he no longer wanted to be the tribe's leader. Over the next few days, Jean-Pierre's attitude wore on his tribemates, with even Philippe and Kunlé feeling that he may be a problem going forward. At the sixth Reward Challenge, Marine reentered the game and joined the Do tribe because Jennifer had quit the day prior. Feeling excited about Marine joining them because they felt that she was more beneficial to have than Jennifer, the Do tribe won the sixth Reward Challenge. As the Do tribe returned to camp, Jean-Pierre openly stated in front of his tribemates and Denis Brogniart that the Vang tribe had made a mistake in voting out Marine the day before. He added that he had voted against Aurélie because she was weaker than Marine in challenges and was expecting that his allies would do the same and further added that he should have voted against Véronique as she was the weakest link of the tribe. The next day, the two tribes competed in the sixth Immunity Challenge, Buggin' Out, which was won by the Do tribe mostly due to Boris making a successful bluff regarding his chewing time. At the corresponding Tribal Council, the Vang tribe agreed that Kunlé should be their new leader and Jean-Pierre was blindsided by his former allies in a 3-1-1 vote.
