In the last episode of The Brain, strategies, betrayals and strong emotions punctuated a memorable elimination ceremony. Between broken alliances and new bonds forged, the candidates are preparing for a decisive turning point in the competition.
A shock elimination and weakened alliances
The pair event marked a real twist for Nicolo and Vivian. Their failure not only condemned their respective partners, Maïssane and Eddy, to participate in the elimination duel, but also disrupted the dynamics of the game.
If Maïssane, confident in her abilities, thought she would come back unscathed, she ultimately lost to Eddy. This unexpected result led her to face Vivian during the vote of the other candidates, a situation which will seal her fate.
A strategic campaign to save Maïssane
On campus, Carla spared no effort to save her friend. She revealed a kiss between Vivian and Solène, sowing doubt in the trio formed with Nicolo.
However, this revelation was not enough to reverse the trend. Nicolo, torn between friendship and revenge, finally chose to support Vivian, thus sealing the definitive elimination of Maïssane.
For Vivian, it’s a double victory: “I brought out Maïssane, one of the biggest brains of this adventure! »he congratulates himself, while celebrating the success of the strategy against the trio she formed with Carla and Mélanie which is now broken.
Nabil at the center of criticism

From now on, Nabil clearly shows his priorities: “It’s official, I’m part of a clan”he says, ready to do anything to protect Mélanie and Carla.
