Benoît dethrones Margaux and becomes the first maestro in the ranking!

On December 2, Benoît made his first appearance in Don't forget the lyrics. From show to show, the thirty-year-old managed to oust each of his opponents and climbed the ranking of maestros. Enough to impress Nagui, just like the viewers.

This Saturday, January 18, Benoît reached another milestone since he achieved what the public previously thought impossible by dethroning Margaux, THE maestro of the game show since 2020. As a reminder, she won 530,000 euros after 59 victories. An unprecedented performance therefore.

Benoît speaks out following his record

Moment of emotion. Benoît did not expect to make such a journey. Following this new record, the thirty-year-old shared his feelings on the microphone of our colleagues at West France and confided: “It’s a crazy moment. It was unimaginable from the start, and it remains very difficult to achieve. For me, Margaux was unbeatable. I didn't see who could beat her, and I certainly wouldn't have bet on myself… I'm quite proud of my performance.”

Benoît had really prepared a lot to be ready to shine in Don't forget the lyrics. “It required a lot of energy, concentration, endurance. Filming is still intense. And I discovered new parts of myself that I didn't know. It's very pleasant!“, he rejoiced.

Margaux reacts to Benoît's record

In the show the day before, Benoît explained to Nagui that he was not in contact with Margaux. The presenter took the opportunity to call the young woman and asked her: “It's been five years since we kept saying 'Will yes or no someone be able to overtake Margaux?' We agree that at the time of Laurens' participation you thought that it would be Was it burnt?”

Margaux then said she was impressed by Benoît. Nagui took the opportunity to tease her. But the former candidate is not the type to be bad-mouthed and even encouraged it: “Records are meant to be broken, and frankly you deserve it. Surpass me and go to 600,000 euros if you can. » “I don't even know if I would have the energy to go to 600,000, it's a marathon”, Benedict replied. Words that seem to have brought him luck!
