Naoil: This Friday, June 5 was broadcast the last finale of “Koh-Lanta, the island of heroes” long awaited by millions of viewers. A 2020 edition, which will have been exceptional, from the beloved or hated candidates, twists and turns in each of the episodes, a truly passionate audience for this year’s game, and unprecedented audience records.
Three of them entered the legendary pole test: Claude, the favorite candidate of thousands of viewers since the start of the show, Inès and Naoil. Against all expectations and to the great disappointment of the fans of the game, it is finally the boxer Naoil, the great finalist! Claude, who participated for the third time in the adventure game, is again eliminated to the posts for this year, and surprises everyone! Eric, Teheiura and Moussa and many viewers claim their surprise and are very disappointed not to see the adventurer in the final. The young woman who wins this final test chose Inès as the opponent against the votes of the final jury.
For me, Claude is out of category. He is stronger than me, stronger than everyone. For me, I am not in its category. I’m taking someone who arrived with nothing. In this case Inès did not have a victory, and even if she had, I would still have chosen, “said Naoil. The two adventurers are therefore the finalists of this Koh-Lanta, the island of heroes.
When the time comes to count the ballots, the result is call : Inès collected two votes, Naoil collected seven! So this is Naoil the big winner of “Koh-Lanta: Island of heroes”, 2020 edition! Naoil, a great adventurer throughout the game, with a steel morale and always smiling, therefore won the totem and above all the great victory gain of 100,000 euros. Very moved, the candidate thanks all the adventurers.
But will Naoil really receive 100,000 euros net?
In recent years, the winners of Koh Lanta Several discovered that around 20,000 to 25,000 euros had to be taken from their earnings by the public treasury. If for many viewers, the broadcast of TF1 is just a simple adventure game with several candidates in competition, in the eyes of French law, it is however a job where the employees are under fixed-term contract with a production company.
Indeed, the candidates adventure games are salaried and have a real employment contract. Since a court ruling in 2009, productions have also had to pay applicants. A decision which has been validated by the Court of Cassation, for the simple reason that the participants donate themselves over several weeks and bring money to the channels, via the audience they generate. In addition, candidates are subject to production orders which put them in situations imposed for the needs of filming, just like employees vis-à-vis an employer.
In the audiovisual production collective agreement, the minimum is 370 euros per week excluding “game gain”. And who says wages and earnings, also says taxes. “Taxes consider gains made through reality TV as taxable labor income,” said Jérémie Assous in 2009, and financial pacts are not exempt from tax.
Therefore, the money which is collected by the candidates of Koh Lanta, or their salary which is around 25 euros gross per day, their confidentiality bonus, paid so that the candidates remain silent to allow the smooth running of the game’s plot, which is around 2,500 euros gross for a “all stars” edition and 700 euros gross for a classic edition, and the possible gain of 100,000 euros net, must be declared to the tax office, at the risk of otherwise receiving a tax adjustment.

Even if the winning candidate decides to share and redistribute parts of their winnings to other candidates, the latter must also declare it to the public treasury, and pay taxes on the amounts received, and would be taxed up to about 20%.
We can also imagine that Claude or Teheiura, already stars of Koh-Lanta with several participations in the adventure game in previous years, this year had a much higher salary. “If you want to negotiate your contract, you negotiate your contract”, had thus revealed the ex-adventurer Dylan in 2018 during an interview in “Touche pas à mon poste”, evoking for his part a staggering salary of 27 000 euros, So much even that would match the cumulative earnings for all his participations in Koh-Lanta, he had qualified following these public revelations, however, it is already a very nice sum.
The footballer, defender, Frank Leboeuf, meanwhile, would have confessed to having received more than 50,000 euros to participate in the Koh-Lanta all-stars show in 2010. Good remuneration for these great adventurers of reality TV shows, but which will be subject to tax.
Naoil, professional boxer, future mother, and big winner of this year’s adventure game, thus leaves not only with his check for 100,000 euros, but also with around 3,300 euros gross corresponding to his 32 days of participation and the privacy bonus. Gains that she will have to declare to the Treasury, but also a nice sum that will allow her to welcome the birth of her baby boy who should be born next September.
This unprecedented final of Koh-Lanta 2020, which will have been produced under the special live shooting conditions due to the health crisis, again achieved an exceptional performance: with almost 7 million viewers on average throughout the evening, and an audience peak reached 7.8 million during the post test when viewers were impatient to know if Claude, their darling, would win this legendary Koh-Lanta test. Without a doubt, Koh-Lanta, the island of heroes 2020 will have achieved its best audience for a final, never reached since 2013.
