Koh-Lanta[]
Caramoan[]
For the opening challenge for rice and for the power to choose their tribemates, Christelle was partnered with Bertrand Bolle, Jean-Bernard Hauton-Arnaud, and Valérie Tartacède-Bollaert. The team of Nathalie Ensargueix, Frédéric Favier, Christopher Lavaud, and Carole Rapin won the challenge and they selected Christelle to be a part of the Tayak tribe along with Bertrand, Christophe Guttatoro-Martin, and Morgane Rodriguès. The Tayak tribe initially won the first Reward Challenge, in which the reward was fire, but the victory and the reward were transferred to the Mingao tribe later that day as it was discovered that Frédéric and Christopher had broken the rules at one point in the challenge.
Apart from this, the Tayak tribe's obvious strength over the Mingao tribe worked in their favour in challenges, allowing for the former to ulong the latter. The only time the Tayak tribe lost an Immunity Challenge was during the third cycle, in which they unanimously eliminated Morgane at the corresponding Tribal Council because of her deteriorating physical and emotional state. Though the remaining Tayak tribe members would all go on to secure places on the Merged Tribe, Nathalie was in the hot seat for her perceived laziness around camp and would have likely been voted out had they lost another Immunity Challenge.
Before the tribes merged, both designated tribe leaders, Bertrand and Jean-Bernard Hauton-Arnaud, were selected as the Ambassadors for their respective tribes and visited their rivals' camps. Both men spent their visits trying to get to know their rivals rather than discussing what the voting dynamics might become in the individual phase. However, Bertrand also hinted to the Mingao tribe members that there might be some people on his own tribe that are more deserving of the Ambassadors' vote than they are and Jean-Bernard also talked about Hakim Djellali and his funny behaviour around camp, but also implied that Hakim was the fellow Mingao tribe member that he'd be willing to lose first. At the Ambassadors' Meeting, Bertrand and Jean-Bernard quickly opted for a draw, which resulted in Bertrand receiving the Ambassadors' vote. However, this didn't matter as all of the original Tayak tribe members, with the exception of Christophe and along with Hakim, who had very quickly socialized with the original Tayak tribe members come merge, voted out Jean-Bernard because of his status as the leader of his alliance, his challenge prowess, and his negative attitude and criticisms concerning Hakim.
At the Final Ten, the original Tayak tribe members made plans to vote out one of their own, Nathalie, because they still thought that she was being somewhat lazy around camp. On top of this reason, the alliance's men wanted to cancel Nathalie's attempts at making an all-female alliance. However, the day of the merged tribe's second Tribal Council, Christopher was evacuated to the infirmary as he was suffering from irregular heartbeat patterns. This prompted the original Tayak tribe members, with the exception of Nathalie, who was out of the loop, and Christopher, who was at the infirmary, to change their plans and vote out Hakim instead. They did this as they didn't want the original Mingao tribe members to go into the Final Nine with four in numbers, including Jean-Bernard, if Christopher were to be permanently evacuated from the game before the vote. The next day, when Christopher was permanently evacuated and eliminated from the game because he needed to go to the hospital for more tests, Hakim returned to the game in his place. At the Final Nine, Christophe, who felt personally insulted by Bertrand telling him that his actions at the previous Tribal Council were brainless, turned on Bertrand and tried to rally his tribemates to vote him out on the basis of him being too authoritarian as an alliance leader. This backfired as Christophe, who was now seen as treacherous for his scheming, replaced Nathalie as the black sheep of the original Tayak tribe members and was outcasted by the tribe, including the original Mingao tribe members, for the remainder of the cycle. At the corresponding Tribal Council, Christophe was voted out unanimously.
Following this diversion, Christelle and her alliance decided that they would resume their pagonging of the original Mingao tribe members for the next few cycles. Upon Régis Colombier's elimination, the remaining original Tayak tribe members formed the Final Five, however, this meant that there would be one more cycle before the finale. Though Bertrand, Frédéric, and Christelle agreed that Nathalie was the least deserving of the alliance to make it any further into the game and were originally going to vote her out at the next Tribal Council, they ultimately decided to prioritize strategy over merit and voted out Carole instead because they felt that she would do well in the Perch challenge at the Final Three.
Christelle made it to the finale and, when Christelle won the Perch challenge at the Final Three, she chose to take Frédéric to the Final Two over Bertrand. At the Final Tribal Council, Christelle's strong social footing throughout the game, along with Frédéric being seen as being in Bertrand's shadow, resulted in Christelle winning against Frédéric in a 6-1 vote.

Le Retour des Héros[]
For the first portion of the opening sudden death challenge, Christelle was paired up with Jean-Bernard Hauton-Arnaud. Along with Amel Fatnassi and Romuald Lafite, Christelle and Jean-Bernard were among the bottom two pairs, so the four had to compete in a footrace in which the last man and woman to finish would be eliminated from the game. Christelle won against Amel, so Amel was eliminated and Christelle was assigned to the Jacaré tribe. Christelle formed a close bond with Moundir Zoughari, but the pair were not as successful at integrating themselves into their tribe as everyone else.
During the second cycle, Christelle unintentionally stirred the pot by making a comment about an alliance between Philippe Bordier and romantic couple François-David Cardonnel and Émilie Frahi forming based on the trio swimming together. When Christelle noticed this alliance attempting to recruit Clémence Castel as a fourth member, she cried in isolation because she knew that either she or Moundir would be voted out should the tribe lose an Immunity Challenge. Seeing Christelle in distress, Moundir argued with his tribemates, especially Philippe, about their strategic gameplay and, after Philippe told Moundir that he knew that Moundir would be problematic for the Jacaré tribe, Moundir eventually stormed off with the intention of quitting the game. Though his tribemates believed that he had done so going into the second Immunity Challenge, Denis Brogniart revealed to them that Moundir had changed his mind and Moundir rejoined them wearing a camouflage buff instead of a red one. After the Jacaré tribe lost the second Immunity Challenge, Denis Brogniart revealed to them that Tribal Council would be taking place right there and then. Christelle voted against Émilie for being the weakest link of the tribe in challenges, but the majority alliance voted out Moundir in order to restore peace in the tribe. Unfortunately for Christelle, even though she was appreciated by her tribemates, she was now the only Jacaré tribe member outside of the majority alliance. Therefore, when the Jacaré tribe lost the third Immunity Challenge, Christelle was voted out unanimously.
