On September 25, 2023, during Émilien's first appearance in Les 12 Coups de Midi, viewers and Jean-Luc Reichmann were far from imagining that he would mark the history of gaming and TV games to this extent. general. Indeed, more than 14 months later, the champion is at the head of a prize pool of more than 1.7 million euros (1,760,479 euros exactly). But will this exceptional journey last much longer? Nothing is less certain…
Indeed, Émilien has difficulty getting used to notoriety. “It's very weird“, he assured in an interview with Télé 7 Jours, before adding: “These requests are becoming more and more frequent. So, I think that's really the word: weird. It's very special to experience even if it's often very pleasant. But I admit that I have a little trouble getting used to it (laughs)“. Regarding people recognizing him in the street, he explained: “Yes, it has happened and it is happening more and more frequently, I would say. It's a bit everywhere and it's things that are still a bit weird for me“.
An exceptional adventure that begins to tire
On top of that, its success is starting to annoy some viewers. “Sorry, but I don't watch the show anymore. I can't stand Émilien anymore. I find that he is out of category and that he spoils the chances of the other candidates. It's really a shame. In addition to that, during duels, we have the impression that he is at an advantage: easy questions or much shorter statements“, “Hey, two more easy duels for the champion, but there are still people who believe it's chance“, “He's getting us drunk, he's going to win this showcase again, it's really rubbish, is notably shared on Instagram. After a certain amount the candidate should change, everyone has the right to win. 11 cars, what does that mean?“, we can read in particular on social networks. But that's not all, the fact that the candidate seems unbeatable would also start to make people cringe behind the scenes.
“You're at the end of your rope, it's not possible!“
In recent days, Émilien has seemed a little less involved in the game.”You're at the end of your rope, it's not possible! Brother, where are you? It looks like you're going to die“, Jean-Luc Reichmann teased him, this Saturday, November 30, 2024. The next day, the champion once again appeared lost when faced with a question and the host had to repeat it twice before the midday master don't understand it.”Ok, fine, excuse me, I wasn't there“, Emilien justified himself. Inspired, Jean-Luc Reichmann then improvised a conversation with the President, worrying about the champion: “Yes, Mr. President. He's a little at the end of his rope, it won't be long before he's cracking“.
So will we have the chance to see Émilien evolve in The 12 Coups de Midi much longer? To be continued…
