While Paul El Kharrat had claimed to be at least as brilliant as Emilien, the current champion of 12 Coups de midi responded to him in an interview with Télé-Loisirs, this Friday, November 8, 2024.
Will Emilien still be as imperturbable this November? Certainly, the greatest champion in the history of TV games continues to break records, he also celebrated his 400th participation in The 12 Coups de Midon. But he experienced a little sluggishness in October, its balance sheet being on the decline with “only” 60,500 euros amassed in its kitty. The question of his longevity no longer arises in the mouth of Jean-Luc Reichmann, still admiring his protégé, who can boast of holding a prize pool amounting to 1,663,851 euros as of November 7, 2024.
Paul El Kharrat, the only one to have given Emilien the taste of defeat
However, an irreducible fanatic refuses to enter into the game of compliments in favor of the Vendéen. During a recent question-and-answer session on his Instagram account, Paul El Kharrat in fact refused to admit the superiority of the one who supplanted him in the ranking of the best Midday Masters. “Saying ‘stronger’ serves as a comparison, and the latter, between human beings, is unhealthy. So I answer you, no, it is not stronger”had estimated the fourth in the Top 10. To argue his words, the resident of Big heads could rely on his duel in the 5000th of the game, from which he emerged extremely narrowly victorious. This is Emilien's first and only defeat in TF1 entertainment.
“There is no classification”, Emilien in total agreement with Paul El Kharrat’s statement
Invited to react to this comparison by our colleagues from Tele-Leisurethe history student did not prove his friend wrong. “There is no ranking. Everyone follows their adventure as it happens. It’s an adventure that’s personal. There is no need to put anyone in opposition or comparison”he replied, happy to continue to answer, and sometimes correct, Jean-Luc Reichmann in his questions. We may have to wait for a special broadcast to be able to decide between these two living encyclopedias.
