All the more frustrating when we imagine the explosive duel that Marguerite and Franck could have offered during Saturday's bonus. So yes, we are obviously disappointed. Why organize a week focused on the public and then take away their power to vote to save their favorite candidate? A bonus without nominations is a bit like a cake without icing: it lacks flavor.
