On Wednesday August 17, 2022, the first two episodes of traitors, the M6 event program inspired by Loup-garou, the French board game. While a sequence with Elsa Esnoult greatly challenged Internet users, it is also David Douillet and his wife Vanessa which caught the eye.
And for good reason, usually very discreet since their crush in 2014, the double Olympic medalist judoka and the pretty brunette 14 years younger than her have chosen to live this unique experience together. Unfortunately, this was short-lived for Vanessa who turned out to be a “traitor” in the game against her “loyal” husband. Unmasked by the rest of the candidates, she was the first to be eliminated. “I’m proud of you because I’m a traitor. I wish you to continue the game well, to continue the investigations, continue to have fun and Darling I love you“, she addressed, fair play, on her departure with a special little word for her husband.It’s hard for me to leave like that from the start. In the game, my relationship with David, it was complicated. He was stronger than me“, she then acknowledged.
Because David Douillet and Vanessa may have agreed to lie to each other for the good of the game, it was not easy for the couple. “I had to play with the person I love the most, lie to him so he wouldn’t find out about me“, pointed out the hypnotherapist during the press conference. But the situation could have been worse if they were not as welded in real life as estimated by the 53-year-old sportsman. “I strongly advise against fragile couples coming to this game“, he recommended. And for the mother of his daughter Blanche (5 years old) to add: “Before entering the castle, we think that being in pairs is an asset. In this scenario, where we are on two opposing sides, it is a handicap. We know each other too well.”
Finally, the adventure will still have been positive. “This game strengthened our couple“, confided Vanessa, rejoicing to have been able to see that their relationship was well based on”trust, truth and mutual aid“.
