This Saturday, January 11, 2025, Emilien achieved a new feat in the show Les 12 Coups de midi. After several attempts, he finally found the identity of Fernando Alonso and won his 17th star. He confided in his joy the next day.
Since his arrival in The 12 Coups de midi in September 2023, Emilien, a 22-year-old from Vendée, continues his exploits. This young TV game prodigy quickly established his style: calm, methodical and extremely efficient. After more than 470 participations, he is not just a candidate, he has become a real pillar of the show. Sunday January 12, 2025, the Master of Midday won his 17th mysterious star and further confirmed his status as an outstanding champion. It's not just his knowledge that impresses, but also his ability to handle pressure day in and day out. Jean-Luc Reichmann, the presenter, does not hide his admiration for this incredible journey, especially since Emilien is breaking records at an incredible speed.
Emilien finally gets his 17th mysterious star!
This new star, won after a week full of twists and turns, allowed him to add 29,111 euros to his prize pool, which now reaches the astronomical sum of 1,945,315 euros. A number that makes you dizzy! Emilien, visibly moved, confided on set the day after his victory how intense this week had been. A reaction that he conveyed to Jean-Luc Reichmann: “It’s true that this is a week that is really the symbol of this show, that is to say that we really go through all the emotions, from the lowest to the highest. It goes very quickly, It’s completely crazy. These are unique emotions.” Even Jean-Luc Reichmann couldn't believe it: “The week we had! We almost lost you, you had a star discovered. You can’t see it anywhere else!”.
A complicated star to get
But even a champion can have his moments of doubt. On January 8, he found himself in front of a mysterious star completely revealed… and there, big blank. Despite all the clues – a cyclist, a parrot, angel wings – it is impossible for him to recognize Fernando Alonso, the F1 driver. A little embarrassed, he blurted out at random : “I'm going to say Bob Sinclar, because I have to say something. Sorry!” Jean-Luc Reichmannamused, concluded: “It’s a crazy story!” Yes, even the best can make mistakes, and that’s undoubtedly what makes Émilien even more endearing!
