Beijing Express 2025: a candidate takes her hair extensions and makeup to the heart of Africa

the essential
The new season of “Pékin Express” was launched Thursday evening on M6. A Belgian candidate has already stood out to viewers. She took beauty equipment in her suitcase that was not really useful for the adventure game.

Here we go for a new season of “Beijing Express”! The ten pairs began the adventure at the foot of Kilimanjaro and will travel through four African countries in the coming weeks: Tanzania, Mozambique, Lesotho and South Africa.

For the 20th anniversary of the game, “Beijing Express” began in a unique way. All the candidates’ suitcases had been carefully emptied on the ground. To begin the test, the twenty candidates had to repack their suitcases and add an inflatable mattress. “You will have to repack your suitcase by adding an essential accessory for today’s race: an air mattress,” said host Stéphane Rotenberg to the stunned gaze of the candidates.

Candidates who traveled light like residents Max and Hélène were able to quickly begin the adventure. For Esmeralda, a Belgian candidate with her cousin Mattéo, it was mission impossible. “I wonder why I took all this bullshit, I hate myself,” raged the Belgian. The opportunity to discover that she had taken hair extensions, makeup and clothes not really suitable for a trek in Africa, even if the candidates do not know their destination at the start.

The surprising contents of the luggage naturally greatly amused Internet users who shared their amazement.

I hope the Belgians will go far because Esmeralda she came with extensions and pink highlighter to match her outfit and for that she deserves to stay for a while #pekinexpress

Esmeralda’s red flags: she brought back hair extensions (why?) + lots of Shein bags #PekinExpress

Once the suitcase was packed, the pairs had to begin a 4 km trek by pulling their suitcases, cross a lake on the inflatable mattress for 2 km and continue their journey by hitchhiking. Max and Hélène from Toulouse won the event and were able to spend the night at the summit of Kilimanjaro.
