The Best Pastry Chef: why was there no one eliminated this Thursday, December 26, 2024?

It’s the home stretch! It’s been twelve weeks since the adventure The Best Pastry Chef started on M6. And the noose is tightening for the candidates still in the running.

And this week of competition was decisive, since some of them won a top 1 during the show on Thursday December 26, 2024.

Indeed, to avoid elimination, Tsiory will have to achieve the feat of winning two top 1s during the next show. “Next week you will have three tests again. Each of these events can allow you to win a top, and of course, with two tops, you are qualified for the final!“, said Laëtitia Milot, the host of the program, at the end of the show. “Everything is possible!“, launched Cyril Lignac. “Agree Tsiory?“, retorted Laëtitia Milot. It remains to be seen whether the candidate will manage to catch up in the competition… To be continued!
