Les 12 Coups de Midi: Emilien helped by production? He reveals that he is in contact with the editor-in-chief, “we debate issues from time to time”

The rest after the ad

This will not have escaped you: Emilien is so strong in 12 shots of noon on TF1 that he is sometimes capable of detecting errors in questions. Enough to allow him to save his own competitors, but also to disrupt him when he himself is concerned by such an error. And obviously, these issues are taken seriously by Jean-Luc Reichmann’s editorial staff.

Emilien discusses questions with editors

While he was recently a guest on the show PopcornEmilien confessed that once filming was completed, he occasionally had a debriefing with the team. “When we debate issues from time to timethere is the editor-in-chief who comes to see mehe assured. Typically, there's been a question where I've found myself saying, 'Excuse me, I think the question may be a little poorly worded or there may be some ambivalence.'“Also, in order to avoid further errors or to allow him to understand the interest of such a formulation, everyone comes together for fascinating discussions:”Ensuite, I will be able to discuss with the editor-in-chiefwho will give me his opinion directly and why he keeps [la question comme telle].“

Enough to prove that Emilien is therefore favored, as some conspiracy theorists imagine? No way. Once again, these interventions only take place after a filming and are intended to improve the comfort of all candidates. Above all, as the champion recalled: “This is one of the only discussions I can have at an editorial level“.

Why does the candidate continue to point out mistakes?

Furthermore, Emilien subsequently revealed that all his returns on set do not necessarily lead to behind-the-scenes discussions. Simply, he considers it important to say what he thinks in order to allow everyone to have the best possible experience.

“When I have a little doubt, I prefer to tell them : 'I ask you my doubt and you do with it what you want anyway, at worst, there is editing, you cut'detailed the Master of the South. I prefer to express my doubt. And usually there is no problem and my doubt was for nothing. I preferred for myself, for my conscience, to tell theme“.
