The muscular Félix understood everything. This 29-year-old Hulk, but without the green skin of the witch Elphaba, had predicted that the game ofOccupation double would reward those who played Occupation doubleand this Mayan prophecy came true, Sunday evening, in a generic hotel in Laval.

During a chaotic and disheveled final, the smiling Félix, a software developer based in Montreal, won “this four-dimensional chess game” with the sporty Solène, a 22-year-old personal trainer from Quebec.
As usual, the live coronation of the OD couple took place in a disorderly and muddled manner, in an unsuitable place to present a television show. And hello sound and coordination issues.
First, finalist Solène, at the end of the tiny stage, was not standing in the lighting. Then, Fred Robichaud smiled and stretched out awkward silences, while his partner and co-host Alicia Moffet, whom producer Julie Snyder renamed Alicia Moffatt, barely discreetly nudged him to get into gear. It looked super amateurish.
After the mess of the finale of What talent! Last Monday, when the voting system crashed live, the Noovo channel must raise the bar to prevent these embarrassing situations, supposed to be grandiose, from spoiling the work of an entire season.
Returning to the winners Félix and Solène, the viewers visibly appreciated their naturalness and their frankness, which always led to funny mockery. Like their lack of oral complicity or when Solène compared Félix to ET the extraterrestrial, but in a body of rock.
For his part, Félix couldn’t believe that Solène “benched her bodyweight”, which amounts to 122 lbs. With his pseudophilosophical reflections, Félix has become the involuntary clown of this 18e edition ofOccupation doublewhich was filmed in the Playa del Carmen area of Mexico.
On a trip to Chile, it was Félix who was dazzled by the splendor of the Andes mountain range, which he renamed the “mountain range of the Donkeys”. It was Félix who came up with the theory that to find the greenest apple, you had to open the entire bag. And this precious fruit with the voice of whiskey was Solène. A very “energetic” woman, according to Aleksa, one of the six finalists.
Before biting into the good apple, Félix wandered around the courtyard of makeup artist Melek, 22 years old. But as Melek smoked cigarettes and it did not correspond to his values, Félix “switched” to the bubbly Catherine F., 27 years old, the most interesting and entertaining candidate of this edition of OD. Unsurprisingly, Catherine F. known as Catastrophe won the favorite prize on Sunday evening. A well-deserved honor.
The catch, which is also an ick? Catherine F., a real estate broker from Blainville, is the mother of two young children, which cooled Félix, who made a final pivot towards Solène, one of the three competitors who arrived as a surprise halfway through the race.
Felix’s fickleness – and his obsession with clean sinks – could have backfired and deprived him of the little $450,000 cottage. But he was honest and transparent during his quasi-scientific approach, which endeared him to the public.
It’s a game, OD, not a race for marriage, and Félix approached this reality TV by mastering all its codes. He knew that the “spectacle” aspect ofOccupation double would overwhelm the candy pink “Cinderella” side, which no longer appeals to viewers.
It must be said that the competition was not that fierce. Aleksa and Kristina quickly made their status official, then disappeared between the cracks of a sponsored couch. They no longer mingled with the group during happy hours and stayed apart to kiss and talk very, very quickly (that’s Kristina) with subtitles.
In her theory of two t-shirts, entrepreneur Aleksa, 27, from Sherbrooke, put on the one of invisibility. His friend Kristina, 23, who is a fashion consultant, could have better advised him on his clothing choices. And unfortunately for Aleksa and Kristina, they served as a point of comparison for other OD singles looking for connections: we definitely don’t want to be flat like them.
As for the couple formed by Catherine L., 24, and Raphaël, 27, they faltered until the final trip to the French Alps. Raphaël often described his sweetheart as a controlling germaine, while Catherine L., immature and intense, constantly doubted her feelings and fell into “panic attack” mode. At least Catherine L. recognized her babyish nature, and Raphaël felt proud that his girlfriend was “introspective”.
Speaking of poorly constructed sentences, Catherine L. does not know the existence of the word “aerodynamics”. She prefers the term “aerogromic”.
At the helm of the OD shows this fall, hosts Fred Robichaud and Alicia Moffet adopted a repetitive tone: that of exaggerated teasing.
They falsely amplified each of their comedic lines, which became annoying. Their Ding and Dong style of animation never reached that of Jay Du Temple, who bounced around episode content more than recording boilerplate connections between commercial breaks.
Live, Alicia Moffet is much better than Fred Robichaud. It seems that she often crowds stages for her music shows. He looks more like a deer caught in the lights of a truck on the highway. A smiling deer, certainly, but always at risk of causing a serious accident.
