Profile retrieved from tf1.fr[1]
Elle adore les animaux! Pour Frédérique, tout irait mieux dans le monde des humains s'ils prenaient parfois modèle sur les comportements des animaux: tout fonctionne parfaitement dans une meute! Elle a transformé sa passion en un métier: Toiletteuse pour chiens, chats et bêtes en tous genres, Frédérique est également comportementaliste animalier. Mariée et mère d'un grand garçon, elle ne mâche pas ses mots, dit tout ce qu'elle a sur le coeur... Elle n'est pas du genre à se laisser marcher sur les pieds...
Koh-Lanta[]
Before the contestants even got on the boat, Denis Brogniart informed them that they would have to immediately decide upon two among them to not join the rest on the boat. Believing that this was an elimination, Véronique Bègue and Boris Deltell sacrificed themselves for the other contestants. The other sixteen contestants said their goodbyes and got on the boat, which was headed to an island where they would be divided into two tribes the next day.
When swimming to this island from the boat, Alain Merdel almost drowned, but Claude Dartois saved him and helped him get to the island. As the contestants trekked towards the north side of the island, Virginie Mercadal Pioli cut her upper eyelid by bumping into a branch. That night, Vivien Escouflaire and Alain found the island's watering hole and the sixteen contestants settled in for the night.
The next day, they finished their trek and Denis Brogniart revealed that the two tribes would be divided by gender. Thus, Frédérique was assigned to the Vang tribe and they immediately competed against the Do tribe in their first Reward Challenge, which they won. The reward for the Vang tribe was three matches and, upon arriving at their camp, they succeeded in making fire. They also encountered Boris, who had arrived there the day before by helicopter and who would be their sole male tribemate instead of being eliminated.
At the first Reward Challenge, Virginie's eyelid was stitched up earlier, and she was required to wear a bandage over her eye throughout the remainder of the first cycle and, in turn, couldn't participate in the first Immunity Challenge, which was in the water. This temporary handicap, along with her already strong personality, encouraged Virginie to be hyperactive around camp, which earned her the ire of some of her tribemates, especially Frédérique. On the other hand, Frédérique also had a strong personality and annoyed some of her tribemates by not contributing around camp that much and by being negative about not having more men in the tribe. Frédérique and Virginie clashed on a few occasions throughout the remainder of the cycle and, after the Vang tribe lost the first Immunity Challenge, the two made it clear to one another that they would be voting against each other at Tribal Council. With the rest of the tribe wanting to have more peace at camp and realizing that Virginie would be more of an asset to them than Frédérique, Frédérique was voted out unanimously at Tribal Council.
