For more than a year, Emilien has had a string of victories in the 12 strokes of noon. But it is time for an opponent to eliminate him because his presence in the daily game of TF1 has lasted too long. Here is why.
On September 25, 2023, Jean-Luc Reichmann hosts a new episode of 12 coups de midi on TF1, where a 21-year-old student named Emilien becomes the new Maître de midi.
Emilien, with almost 400 victories and a prize pool of more than 1.6 million euros, became the best contender in the history of the game, sparking criticism and comparisons with John Cena.
Discover how Emilien, despite accusations of favoritism, continues to dominate the game and attract the attention of viewers.
It is Monday September 25, 2023. That day, Jean-Luc Reichmann presents as usual a new issue of 12 coups de midi on TF1. The host then welcomes the Master of Midday, as well as his three opponents of the day. Among the latter is a young 21-year-old student named Emilien. At the end of the show, he managed to dethrone the champion to begin the longest reign in the history of the program. At the time, no one could have suspected it.
However, over the days, weeks, months, and now years, Emilien has established himself as the best candidate in the history of 12 coups de midi. As we write these lines, the young man has reached the symbolic mark of 400 victories. With over 120 Master Moves and 14 mysterious stars discovered. He collected a prize pool of more than 1.6 million euros. Never seen before in the history of televised games in France. However, even the best things must come to an end. And Emilien’s reign at the head of 12 coups de midi must now quickly end.
Les 12 coups de midi: Emilien’s invincibility annoys many viewers
Effectively, the presence of the young student completely ruined the program played by Jean-Luc Reichmann. Viewers no longer watch the daily game of TF1, but the daily show of Emilien. No matter who stands in front of him, the champion overcomes them. Which is extremely horrifying in the long run. After all, no one likes know-it-alls. Even if part of the public still supports the champion unconditionally. The other party hates him more than anything. You just have to take a quick look at social media to be sure. If no one is able to beat Emilien, he should simply surrender his title of champion of the 12 strokes of noon by remaining undefeated.
This is what Xavier had dared to do in his time. Today the former Midday Master regularly faces other former emblematic game show champions in various programs, which he often tends to win. Emilien proved that he was far above ordinary mortals. Good for him. Now he only has to measure himself against opponents of his caliber like Xavier, Bruno Hourcade, or even Paul El-Kharrat. This would represent a real challenge for him who now has nothing to prove. And that would allow other candidates to have a chance instead of being used as cannon fodder on a daily basis. They didn’t come here to suffer OK?!
The champion has been drowning in gifts for a year
If he doesn’t want to, then Emilien finally returns to resume his studies. It is certainly not thanks to the 12 strokes of noon that he will obtain his diploma. Now a millionaire, he has what it takes to see it coming. The young student is not going to take a second sabbatical after all! The faculty is not Club Med! If he wants to earn more money, Emilien just has to resell the mountain of gifts he has already won thanks to the 14 mysterious stars. Which he has also started to do by his own admission.
He clearly doesn’t need 14 cars!!! He is neither a rich heir nor a famous footballer. Even though he now has a lot of money, the young man is not going to spend a fortune to insure and maintain his 14 vehicles. Let him invest in an apartment instead. Where he could move in with his partner Jessica. Besides, if he wants to preserve his relationship, Emilien should give him a lot more time by abandoning Les 12 coups de midi.
Is Emilien favored by production to the detriment of his opponents?
Unfortunately, it’s a safe bet that Emilien’s journey won’t end any time soon. Love him or hate him, he contributed to significantly increasing the audiences of 12 coups de midi. A real goose that lays golden eggs that production is hatching. Some viewers also complain of a form of favoritism towards him in the choice of questions. Especially when he is in difficulty.
Some people therefore wonder about this, as he came so close to elimination on several occasions. Before miraculously saving himself by stumbling “by chance” on relatively simple questions. Unfounded suspicions however and which do not prevent Emilien from paving his way.
