Journalist specializing in series, cinema, but also anime and manga. He spends his time dreaming about Emma Watson, thinks Olivier Giroud is the GOAT and refuses to talk to those who are against the truth, which is: How I Met Your Mother is a better series than Friends.

During the bonus this Saturday July 13, 2024 dedicated to the 5000th episode of 12 Coups de Midi on TF1, Jean-Luc Reichmann admitted that he did not treat Emilien like his other candidates. How to understand that he benefits from preferential treatment? There is no way.

The rest after the announcement

Although some evil tongues ensure that Emilien is protected within the 12 shots noon, which would explain his incredible journey, Jean-Luc Reichmann recently admitted that he was not carrying the trophy like any other candidate. On the other hand, the host immediately clarified, this is not related to any preferential treatment.

Why is Emilien treated differently?

This Saturday, July 13, 2024, a new bonus broadcast dedicated to the TV game, designed to celebrate its 5000th edition. An exceptional evening, in which Emilien faced (and won) 99 other great champions of the program. But above all, it allowed us to discover the difference in the treatment reserved for Jessica’s companion compared to previous Masters, on the part of Jean-Luc Reichmann.

In fact, it is a detail that no one escaped: the flagship presenter of TF1 did not stop talking to Emilien in the evening, where he was on familiar terms with his former candidates. A destabilizing way to proceed, but one that Jean-Luc Reichmann accepted. As he explained on the series: “You’re the only Master I need because you’re still playing.“And then it was added:”All the others, I speak informally. It is important“.

A simple detail? Quite the contrary. This allows the host, already quite impressed by Emilien’s talent, to distance himself so as not to be accused of favoritism or vice versa. Because of that, Jean-Luc Reichmann puts the champagne on par with its everyday rivals.

And for the record, Emilien is no exception. In 2021, Bruno Hourcade revealed himself to be entitled to such treatment. As he explained to TVMag: “When the midday masters are no longer in place, there is sometimes a reconciliation. But for now, Jean-Luc Reichmann greets me knowing the other champions, because we want to keep this distinction. Not me my friend.“

Proof that the host does not favor anyone but, on the contrary, makes everything as fair as possible.
