In the language ofOccupation doublea sweet mixture of English slang and bad French, a tannant or a tannante is a naughty and charming candidate, who does not hesitate to browse and kiss on the first evening, with or without Night Bubbles in the system.

It is precisely this type of competitors willing to loosen their tongues that brings back OD: Temptations in the suna reality show derived fromOccupation double which lands on Crave on Monday. The Bell Media platform will offer the first two one-hour episodes out of a total of eight.
Ten former – and still – singles from the latest editions ofOccupation double drop off their suitcases in the houses freshly vacated by our amigosOD Mexico. Men in one villa, women in the other. No red carpet, everyone gets a single bed, but without a banner hanging on the wall.
It’s Maripier Morin who grabs the controls of this game of seduction with magnificent designer clothes, which eclipse all the looks worn by Fred Robichaud and Alicia Moffet this fall.
Among the girls, you will recognize the very direct Audrey, 34 years old, self-proclaimed professional “frencheuse” fromOD in the West. Audrey, now a redhead, was then a couple with Fred Robichaud, promoted to host of OD two years later. The second participant who risks sowing discord is Jennifer, 31, discovered in OD South Africawhere she had frequented the mustachioed Kevin Lapierre.
Seller of luxurious saddles (LOL), Mégane, 29 years old, the princess ofFROM Martiniqueis off to a great start, while the temperature does not rise too much for Ophélia, 33, seen in OD South Africa. Same oral calm for Virginie, 29 years old, public favorite ofFROM Martinique.
Among the guys, Dragos, 29 years old,OD South Africaclaims to no longer be wise and we believe him 100%. This Dragos Calistru was on board the infamous Air Cabochon charter flight full of intoxicated influencers heading to Tulum, in December 2021. How can we forget the saga of the Sunwing e-cigarette?
Mathieu B, known as Math Bijoux d’OD Andalusia25, has learned his lesson: he will never again ask for the “snapscore” of his conquests. He also a survivor of the vintage OD AndalusiaAntoine, 32, looks ready to play and flirt. It was Antoine who found the girls between Lara and Vincent “extra cringe” last year.
The former nude dancer and beneficiary attendant Walide, 30, fromFROM Martiniqueseems more uptight than his roommates and Audrey can’t wait for him to get out of trouble. She says it with more colorful words, let’s say. Finally, Mickaël, 25 years old, the “twerker” ofFROM Martiniqueseems to have already been elected mayor of the friendly zone.
Natural, funny and sparkling, host Maripier Morin talks about sensual challenges, desires and impulses, which do not manifest themselves in the first episode ofOD: Temptations in the sunvery chaste and family-oriented. Walide even asks his partner’s consent before covering her with body paint.
In the end, we don’t really know how this game with a $25,000 prize will play out. Singles inherit points, which they accumulate after events and which they then bet on for rewards. Like at the casino Big Brother Celebritiesbut in an atmosphere closer to The island of love (Love Island) than the original format ofOccupation double.
There are eliminations on the menu as well as other candidates lingering behind the scenes, including the bombshell Jenny fromOD in the Westthe Sami doctorOD AndalusiaDJ Kiari fromOD South Africa and the fabulous Catherine F. d’OD Mexico.
If the rules change, the sceneryOD: Temptations in the sun remains the same. Café William, Salvatoré pizza and Kevins Kyle hair extensions for everyone.
An X on IXE-13
Bad news for fans of the ace Canadian spy: there will be no second season of the excellent period miniseries IXE-13. Due to lack of money, Quebecor pulled the plug on the planned sequel to the adventures of agent Jean Thibault (Marc-André Grondin), revisited by the brilliant screenwriter Gilles Desjardins (The countries above).
“IXE-13 is a period series which is very expensive in the current economic context. The period series is dying and TVA no longer had the means to afford it,” explains producer Josée Vallée, of the Sphère Média company.
An episode of a historical thriller type IXE-13 costs more than $1 million an hour, about twice as much as a typical soap opera. And at a time when Quebec networks are slashing their budgets, the cuts are falling first on the most expensive projects.
The first chapter IXE-13 and the race for uranium was posted on Club illico, now illico+, in mid-February. TVA will resume it on its antenna on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. starting February 19.
I really liked this IXE-13whose action begins after the Second World War, in the Red Light of Montreal. The taciturn Jean Thibault (alias IXE-13) and three of his fellow spies (Julie Le Breton, Vincent Leclerc and Hugolin Chevrette) try to pin down moles in the pay of the Soviets, who are trying to obtain enriched uranium .
The episodes contain cigarette smoke, nods to film noir, wacky wigs and cabaret singer wars. Addicted to Peaky Blinders ? You will love it IXE-13. It’s a bomb (almost nuclear).
