Koh-Lanta[]
During the marooning, Kaouther developed a close bond with Freddy Boucher as he helped her through her seasickness. For the group section of the opening sudden death challenge, Kaouther was partnered with Isabelle Da Silva, Julien Mairesse, Patrick Merle, Raphaële Navarro, and Pascal Nickert. After the group transitioned into the individual section of this challenge, Kaouther was the first woman to arrive at the finish line with her staff and was safe. Additionally, Kaouther and the first man to arrive at the finish line with his staff, Louis-Laurent Léger, won a reward, which was an overnight stay with a fisherman to learn basic survival techniques. Each given the right to choose someone of the opposite gender from the remaining active contestants to join them, Kaouther and Louis-Laurent selected Freddy and Marine Mocellin, respectively. Before the tribe composition the next day, Denis Brogniart revealed to the contestants that Myriam Desvergne, who had been temporarily evacuated from the game two days before after having injured her ankle during the sudden death challenge, had been permanently evacuated and eliminated from the game the day before as it was determined that she had fractured her ankle. He added that, because of this, Anthony Parra would reenter the game in her place. Kaouther was assigned by Marine to be a member of the Mawaï tribe and they immediately competed in the first Immunity Challenge. Though the Koror tribe had maintained a strong lead throughout the challenge, the Mawaï tribe succeeded in catching up near the end and winning the challenge.
When the Koror tribe won the first Reward Challenge, they were rewarded with fire. Having fire allowed the Koror tribe to improve upon their diet and this, along with strategic mistakes made by Pascal and Anthony during the second Immunity Challenge, contributed to the Mawaï tribe losing the second Immunity Challenge. Upon returning to camp, Rodolphe Assi, Fabienne Lefebvre-Trehoux, and Claire Rolet went exploring in order to find something to eat. Unfortunately, the trio got lost and had to spend the night away from the rest of their tribe in a storm, but conversely, they had found an abandoned fishing shelter to sleep in and a bunch of bananas to bring back to their tribemates the next day. The rest of the tribe went looking for the trio and vice versa the next morning and the tribe was reunited. With Tribal Council taking place that evening, the Mawaï tribe openly discussed who between Anthony and Claire was the weakest link in challenges. While Claire remained passive and did not say anything, Anthony opted to defend himself and got heated at times. At Tribal Council, the majority of the Mawaï tribe voted against Anthony instead of Claire mainly because of his status as the last person to arrive at the tribe composition, eliminating him from the game for good. Going into the next cycle, the Mawaï tribe lost the second Reward Challenge, Hot Pursuit, which they once again blamed on poor strategy. After Rodolphe, Louis-Laurent, and Pascal finished building their tribe's raft for the third Immunity Challenge, the Mawaï tribe received fire from production as it was deemed that they needed intervention since they were very malnourished. In spite of their newfound energy from their improved diet, the Mawaï lost the third Immunity Challenge the next day. At the corresponding Tribal Council, Denis Brogniart criticized the Mawaï tribe for not learning from their strategic mistakes as they lost four challenges consecutively, placing the blame on poor strategy each time. He then instructed the tribe to designate one of their own as their leader, to which they agreed upon Rodolphe. As for the vote, though Pascal received a few votes due to him feeling sick, the majority of the tribe voted against Claire because they still considered her their weakest link.
Throughout the first three cycles, Kaouther seemed to be one of the frontrunners of the competition, however, things starting going downhill for her beginning in the fourth cycle. The fourth Reward Challenge began on Day 10 and consisted of going on a trek to retrieve as many bags as possible, which would be returned to the starting line on Day 11. Just before the Mawaï tribe was about to settle down for the night of this challenge, Kaouther sprained her foot. Though she decided to persist in spite of her injury throughout the remainder of the challenge, her injury affected her performance somewhat. On Day 11, the two tribes returned forty bags each to Denis Brogniart, who stated that both tribes have won the challenge as a result. The reward for this challenge was the right to permanently kidnap one of the members of the opposite tribe as part of a tribe switch. The Mawaï tribe chose Freddy and the Koror tribe chose Louis-Laurent. Kaouther was delighted with her tribe's decision to kidnap Freddy due to their affinity with one another formed at the beginning of the game. In order to rest her leg, Kaouther rested upon returning to camp. The next day, the Mawaï tribe finally broke the Koror tribe's winning streak by winning the fourth Immunity Challenge. Throughout the next cycle, Kaouther's foot injury continued to affect her performances in challenges and, to make matters worse, she was temporarily evacuated from the game sometime after the fifth Reward Challenge since she was feeling pain due to a cracked tooth. Meanwhile, the Mawaï tribe had resumed their old habit of losing both the Reward Challenge and the Immunity Challenge due to poor strategy. Returning to the game only just after the Mawaï tribe had lost the fifth Immunity Challenge, Kaouther became immune from receiving any votes at the corresponding Tribal Council as she did not have an opportunity to participate in this challenge. Upon returning to camp, Kaouther continued to rest, which earned her the ire of Fabienne and Pascal, who felt that she and Kader Rebaï were focused too much on challenges and had become lazy around camp. Meanwhile, Kaouther and Kader criticized Fabienne and Pascal for the opposite reason. It was implied that Kaouther would have been targeted by Rodolphe, Fabienne, and Pascal at Tribal Council for her challenge liability due to her foot injury and for her newfound inactivity around camp. At Tribal Council, after a heated exchange with Fabienne, Kaouther decided to quit the game due to her foot injury, due to her tribe's constant strategic failure in challenges, and due to her feeling that the tribe's priorities are not right. When Denis Brogniart asked her tribemates if they felt that Kaouther would regret her decision to quit, all but Kader responded that they believed that she would.
