No nostalgia for Emilien in the event of defeat
In all and everything, the young man imposed himself on more than 450 covers and was at the head of a pot of1,864,504 euros as of December 31, 2024. Will he succeed in increasing it in 2025 and for how long will he still play? There is no doubt that the question is on the lips of all viewers to whom he agreed to share his point of view on his chances of continuing the adventure for several more months. “I know that I will end up losing. I am preparing for it. The day that happens, I will have enjoyed this adventure for a long time and I will look back on it without any nostalgia”he explained last month to TV Star. Without any tongue in cheek, he also made it known that he had no intention of making “madness” for the moment with all this money earned, before adding: “All the things I could have wanted, they are present as gifts in the different mysterious stars. I have pleased those around me”.

But Emilien and the producers of 12 shots of noon must also face some criticism, with some viewers demanding a maximum number of victories per candidate to avoid the same situation recurring in the future. “It's very strange for me. The production warned me quite quickly that my life was going to change and that I was going to be recognized. It's always special to experience. When people are kind and polite, it's always nice to be able to chat with them”he also said, before asserting that the post-game show was a “issue” that he could manage “later”.

Jean-Luc Reichmann responds to criticism
Jean-Luc Reichmann stepped up to defend himself at the same time, but on the air ofEurope 1 for the part. “Of course, there is jealousy everywhere, but I don't hesitate to say it. If you are jealous, come and try to dethrone him. He is unstoppable, he is unbeatable.”he said enthusiastically on the airwaves. About the young history student, the star host of TF1 recalled that we had “celebrated its second anniversary” In The 12 strokes of noon. “He came at the age of 20, he is 22. It is totally unassailable but it is totally justified by 95% of the population who watch TV. There are always 5% of slanderers who will say: 'Oh yeah, but go look…'”he added, sure of himself.
