Surprise guests for a legendary adventure. Beijing Express made its return last Thursday on M6 for season 20. For this anniversary edition presented by Stéphane Rotenberg, the game takes ten new pairs of candidates “to the lands of legendary tribes” in Africa.
At the heart of this twentieth season of shock, the participants travel on a unique route through four countries: Tanzania, Mozambique, Lesotho and South Africa. From the start at the foot of Kilimanjaro, they will have to travel thousands of kilometers to reach the south of the continent for a final to be held in Johannesburg.
What is the role of the mystery passenger in Beijing Express?
Season 20 of Beijing Express already promises to be full of surprises. While viewers have the chance to find former candidates like Ryad and Louison for the second part of the evening, other individuals are invited among the new participants for this African epic. This is the big return of the mystery passengers.
Eleven years since their last participation with Stéphane Rotenberg, five personalities from M6 agreed to take on the challenge by participating in the race with the candidates. In the time of one step, they will have a very specific role alongside them. But which one?
