An ancient rule of return
It is a rule that marked the program: that of “mystery passenger”. Thus, while the candidates will cross sumptuous landscapes and will undoubtedly discover wild animals, The show’s most famous “handicap” is making its return. Elodie Gossuin, Glenn Viel, Bruno Solo, Norbert Tarayre but also Yoann Riou will appear in certain episodes. These celebrities will be responsible for hitchhiking, winning tests or even finding accommodation in the candidates’ place. Sequences that promise to be hilarious even before their broadcast.
