Koh-Lanta[]

Vincent was one of three contestants, the others being Sébastien Gottiniaux and Claire Pradayrol, to join the game at the beginning of the second cycle. After placing second in the corresponding Reward Challenge, the Sokka tribe selected Vincent to join them and increase their numbers to seven. At the Final Eighteen, a tribe dissolution challenge took place, with the Sokka tribe losing and thus being disbanded. The Bokor and Takéo tribes assigned Manuella Baudet and Claire, respectively, to select which of its former members they would absorb. Corentin Albertini, Félicie Greugny, Vincent, and Brahma Sadeyen were selected by Claire to join the Takéo tribe. This newly-constructed tribe ended up attending multiple Tribal Councils over the tribal phase, but Vincent survived each one and was never in danger due to his strong performances in challenges. At the beginning of the merge, the second Bokor tribe members only held a slight numbers advantage over the second Takéo tribe members, but this was enough for the former group to easily vote out Vincent of the latter group in a 6-5 vote due to his position as a challenge threat. A number of contestants in the minority were frustrated with Vincent's elimination as they felt that Vincent had deserved to stay in the game for much longer, though the drivers of this vote targeted this physically stronger competitor intentionally because they were playing strategically. The next cycle, after Vincent reentered the game to replace Manuella who had been evacuated from the game after a series of fainting spells, the two factions of the tribe became more united and agreed to behave as such by voting based on merit. Thus, Sandro Gonzalez Schena and Marjorie Rousseeuw were voted out in consecutive cycles for his duplicitous strategizing and for her seeming completely spent in challenges, respectively. At the Final Eight, the Tied Destinies twist took place and, due to the equal number of men and women remaining in the tribe, each pair was forced to have a man and a woman. The pairings were Corentin and Kelly Beaugrand, Frédéric Blancher and Clémentine Jullien, Mathilde Chevalier and Vincent, and Sébastien and Claire, with Sébastien and Claire winning the corresponding individual Immunity Challenge. With Tribal Council approaching, Corentin knew that he would be in danger because he was seen as the least athletic of the remaining men and because he was paired with Kelly, who herself was regarded as the least-deserving of advancing among a tribe of players agreeing on voting based on merit. At Tribal Council, everyone besides Corentin and Kelly had voted against either one of those two, but the narrowness of the vote did not matter as both were eliminated anyway; Corentin was the one voted out while Kelly was the one dragged down with him. At the Final Six, a new alliance emerged between Clémentine and the three jokers that entered the game during the second cycle. Unfortunately, during a reward, Sébastien revealed the existence of this alliance to Frédéric, who in turn informed Mathilde about it when he returned to camp. After losing the corresponding individual immunity challenge, Mathilde became the consensus target, so she went looking for a Hidden Immunity Necklace and eventually found one without her opponents knowing. At Tribal Council, Mathilde shocked the other castaways by playing her recently-acquired advantage, nullifying all votes cast against her and "idoling out" Claire in the process. The next cycle, Frédéric won the Loved Ones reward challenge and was allowed to share a variation of the reward with someone else. Clémentine, who had just received Claire's black vote upon the latter's exit, made a gesture on her chest implying that she would not cast her two votes against Frédéric if he chose her. Frédéric did and Clémentine planned on keeping her word. Though Mathilde was once again a consensus target, she won the final individual immunity challenge, forcing Clémentine to cast her votes against either Sébastien or Vincent. Mathilde and Clémentine aligned and agreed to vote against Sébastien as they felt that he was the bigger jury threat. Meanwhile, Sébastien and Vincent expressed disappointment in Clémentine's move at the reward challenge, with Vincent calling it blackmail and telling Clémentine that he would be voting against her at Tribal Council even though he knew that it would be pointless due to her Hidden Immunity Necklace. Regardless, the numbers were not in Sébastien's favour and he was voted out right before the finale. Having made it to the finale, Vincent was eliminated at the Final Three after Clémentine won the Perch challenge and took Frédéric to the Final Two instead of him.
