______ may be the most screwed over first boot ever in the entire Survivor franchise

SpoilerFanmade/Foreign Survivor

On Tuesday, the newest season of Koh-Lanta (French Survivor) debuted and the season's twist are the "Relics of Destiny", which are the possibility for a tribal's boot to get lucky and choose an advantage. Each council, there are 8 potteries to choose from : 5 empty (the boot is eliminated like normal), 1 with an immunity idol (the boot is eliminated but has to gift the idol he just took out of the pot to a tribemate in full view of everyone else at tribal), 1 with a scroll telling them to go to the other tribe (creating a non elim à la Australian Survivor) and 1 with a scroll telling them they can compete in a last chance duel against the tribemate of their choice.

The would-be first boot, Lionel, received a unanimous 9-1 vote against him after isolating himself day 1 from the rest when the contestants found themselves living all on the same beach to start, à la Palau or Fiji, but by sheer luck, he chose the pot with the duel scroll. He selects Françoise, the person he voted for for challenge strength reasons and they have a fire-making showdown. She has a big flame first, but when it starts to die down, she panics, and loses the duel, and is eliminated by a 1/8 chance for Lionel at picking the exact right pot.
