382 victories! This Sunday, October 13, Émilien once again triumphed on the 12 Coups de midi set. For more than a year, the history student has been breaking all the show’s records with a prize pool amounting to 1,588,827 euros and hundreds of gifts won thanks to the 13 mysterious Stars discovered. Highly appreciated by the public, Jean-Luc Reichmann’s new protégé discovers the joys of his new popularity… but also its disadvantages.
Curious to know how Émilien experiences this media coverage, the host asks him if he gets stopped in the street by viewers. It’s true that it’s starting well, I spend a lot of time in the stations with all the back and forth between filming sessions. These little interruptions are happening more and more often, it’s always very nice.“, explains the Vendéen. Although interactions with fans are generally friendly, he admits that it can sometimes happen in moments of intimacy, like when he says goodbye to his loved ones “People are always kind, but sometimes it remains intrusive.”
Words that he explains: “The station is also the place where we say goodbye, where we meet again, where we say goodbye. Sometimes we are interrupted in somewhat intimate moments, we say goodbye!“In turn, Jean-Luc Reichmann testifies to the popularity of the Master of Masters, emphasizing the enthusiastic welcome given to Émilien when he arrived at studio 107 in Plaine-Saint-Denis for the recordings. According to the host, the presence of the public is largely motivated by the desire to see the young prodigy in person.There you go, he has national notoriety and at the same time, it gives me great pleasure to let you have a little hand in hand. It’s super nice“, slips the flagship host of TF1.
Despite the enthusiasm around him, Émilien is also the target of criticism and suspicions of favoritism with questions that would deliberately be more accessible to him. Rumors that the main party prefers to ignore. “Everyone has the right to think what they want”he says during an interview with Telestar. “I answer the questions that I’m asked. That’s the only thing that happens at that level,” he said. “When I arrived on the show, I was warned that I could face it and that it was better for me to avoid reading everything that is said, he continues. I don’t spend too much time on it.”
