A little later in the program, Cyril Hanouna wanted to know a little more about the links that Sylvie Tellier maintains with other beauty queens. “Is there a Miss with whom you get along a little less, where you spent the year saying to yourself “What a hassle!” »the host asked.

“There are years – I'm not going to name names – where you say to yourself 'It's going to be more difficult' because less speed… I would say that the ones with whom it's the most difficult are the young women who are elected Miss France and who realize that they don't like people”explained Miss France 2002.

“Are you saying to yourself, actually, why did you show up?she continued. The principle of Miss France is to love people. If you don't like meeting people, if you don't like being asked for photos, if you don't like stopping to make a signing, well… In fact, if you want to be known, there are simpler things today than being Miss France.”
