Ryad and Louison (season 18) return in a special role for the 20th anniversary of the show!

Ryad and Louison, who formed the pair of unknowns in season 18, are back in a brand new format on M6, just after the broadcast of Beijing Express, The route of legendary tribes.

A little less than a year ago, viewers met Ryad and Louison, who had become two emblematic candidates of Beijing Express. Their memorable first contact in Indonesia remained a defining moment of season 18, In the footsteps of the golden tiger. The two men are diametrically opposed, Louison is rather lazy and party animal, while the Marseillais Ryad worships sport, but also his body. Despite their differences on paper, the two candidates formed real friendships throughout the episodes and are still very close today.

Ryad and Louison (Beijing Express, In the Footsteps of the Golden Tiger) back in Beijing Expressin the second part of the evening

Eliminated just before the semi-finals, Ryad and Louison had marked the public with their legendary good humor and their eccentric actions (like when Ryad stopped in the middle of the race to eat and thus be able to “maintain your muscles”). But they were also formidable opponents since they hold the record for victories in final duels thanks to Louison who fought them all. We could therefore wonder why such a pair had not been called to participate in the All-stars season of Beijing Express, The epic of the Maharajas which took place in India. The producer had argued that at the time of filming this season 19, season 18 with Ryad and Louison had not yet been broadcast on M6. “If there is a new All-Stars edition, we have them in mind. Maybe they will come backEffectively”he reassured. And the good news arrived faster than expectedsince, if they are not in the casting of the next edition which will begin on January 16 and which will take place in Africa, Ryad and Louison will have their hour of glory in the second part of the evening!

Ryad and Louison will face other emblematic pairs of Beijing Express
