Koh-Lanta[]
Nicoya[]
A member of the Tambor tribe in Nicoya, Amel performed poorly in challenges throughout the game, which was the reason why Béatrice Cloix Penisson and Jacky Moreau voted against her at the tribe's first elimination. However, Amel and Maud Garnier, who had formed a friendship with each other, voted in the majority throughout the entire tribal phase. When Xavier Lemasson was evacuated and eliminated from the game on Day 5 after falling face first and suffering a cervical sprain, Jacky returned to the game in his place.
On Day 14, Tambor sent Jacky to what they thought was going to be a Hero Challenge for reward, but it turned out to be a tribe switch. As a result, Jacky was reassigned to the Ventanas tribe and their representative, Bernard Lenoir, was reassigned to the Tambor tribe. As a positive for everyone, both tribes were given fishing equipment, presented to them by their new members, as a welcoming gift. Bernard managed to integrate himself well into his new tribe by discussing aesthetic affairs with their women and, when the tribe lost the fifth Immunity Challenge, Pierre was voted out instead for his perceived untrustworthiness.
When the two tribes merged at what was the Ventanas tribe's camp, Bernard eagerly reunited with his fellow original Ventanas tribe members. They were generally dismissive of the original Tambor tribe members, much to the latter's annoyance. The original Tambor tribe members voted against Bernard at the merged tribe's first elimination for his sudden ghosting of them, but Jimmy Denis was voted out instead due to his challenge prowess. At the final eight, seeing that Isabelle Vial was the most receptive of the original Ventanas tribe members to the original Tambor tribe members and had built a good rapport with them, Béatrice tried to pull her over to her, Amel, and Maud's side in order to vote against Nicolas Roy due to his strategic prowess and tie the vote. However, this failed as Isabelle and the other original Ventanas tribe members voted out Béatrice and the original Tambor tribe members voted against three different people for their own honest reasons.
At the final seven, being the only original Ventanas tribe member to not be a full member of Nicolas' alliance, François-Xavier Arguillère tried to shake things up by allying with Amel and Maud in order to blindside Marianne with Nicolas. However, when François-Xavier filled Nicolas in on the plan, Nicolas informed his alliance about François-Xavier's plotting and they put their pagonging plans on hold to blindside François-Xavier instead.
Amel's status as a lesser threat than Isabelle and Maud in Nicolas' eyes helped her advance to the finale. From there, Amel's sudden turnaround in challenge performances brought her to the Final Two. After winning the Perch challenge, Amel chose to take Nicolas to the Final Two where she won over him in a 5-2 vote due to her loyal, trustworthy, and honest gameplay and also due in part to some of Nicolas' former allies feeling betrayed by him.

Le Retour des Héros[]
For the first portion of the opening sudden death challenge, Amel was paired up with Romuald Lafite. Along with Christelle Gauzet and Jean-Bernard Hauton-Arnaud, Amel and Romuald 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.
When the Tupan tribe won the second Reward Challenge on Day 4, they were rewarded with the right to integrate either Amel or Jean-Bernard as a new member of the tribe. Unfortunately for Amel, the Tupan tribe chose Jean-Bernard as he was stronger than Amel in challenges and Amel did not return to the game.
Voting History[]
Because she was eliminated before the first Tribal Council, Amel did not have a voting history.
