Abstract
This article examines the literary elements of the French reality TV show Koh-Lanta. Drawing on the theory of reality TV, it demonstrates that this literary dimension facilitates the incorporation of neo-imperial elements. Koh-Lanta inscribes itself in the diversity of the intertext of the island fantasy, keeping the myth of Robinson up to date.
