This Tuesday, December 10, Benoit Dubois was invited on the BuzzTV set to discuss his participation in “The Brain”the new reality show from W9. The concept? 18 personalities from the world of reality TV have agreed to compete to put their intelligence to the test during a major competition! Divided into two teams, the candidates will have to rack their brains to win the tests that will be imposed on them. Among the personalities we find well-known faces from reality television including Kim Glow (Les Marseillais), Anaïs (Secret Story 7), and Vivian (Secret Story 8), Beverly (Les princes de l'amour) or even Benoit Dubois revealed in season 4 of Secret Story.
Benoît Dubois trapped by production?
The latter returned without filter to his participation in this new reality show… a bit far from what he expected! “ It wasn't sold to me like that, I was tricked » says Benoît before explaining “ Basically when I was called it was to do 'The Power', then afterwards they talked to me about 'The Campus'… but they didn't sell me 'The Cerveau', so for me 'The Campus' was is 'High School Musical'… The candidate therefore expected to find himself in the world of an American-style campus “ American footballers, cheerleaders, party, prom and everything… » he specifies, and ironically 'It wasn't about quizzes, Pierre and Marie Curie and all that shit, eh!'
“I said to myself, 'What is crazy?'
‘So I said, but that’s great! I'm looking at my outfits, I have the bombers, I'll be a cheerleader… so I'm signing!' But on the set Benoît becomes disillusionedAnd when I arrive, I realize that there is a stage with buzzers, games, there is Gandhi, Simone Veil etc… I said to myself 'what is the madness? I didn't understand the story!' he remembers with humor: 'But once started… well Yalla, let’s go!‘
Benoît Dubois without filter on the level of intelligence of reality TV candidates
Asked about the general level of the other candidates, Benoît responds without filter “ It has everything! reality TV candidates are a reflection of society… there are some more intelligent than others and others who are less intelligent » he estimates, admitting to having been impressed by the knowledge of Jonathan the former Secret Story season 3 contestant…and for good reason his secret was “I have Einstein’s IQ”. “ You should know that there are candidates who have been making a living from reality TV for 20 years, it's still a certain form of intelligence (…) Behind TV, there are some who have businesses and not just in the aesthetic, but also in the food industry, restaurants… » he believes. “ But there are also idiots, eh!» he concluded with humor.
