This Thursday, January 5, 2023 is a special day for the “12 noon shots”. Indeed, the TF1 program today celebrates the anniversary of the arrival of Xavier, one of the legendary candidates of the show. It has been 10 years since the young man participated in the program. After 76 rounds, the midday master had chosen to stop everything for professional reasons. 11th in the ranking of the greatest players, he is still one of the most striking figures in the game. A nice surprise for the candidate.
“I marked people”
“I imagine that I marked people since I am called back each time. I have no explanation to provide but it is always a pleasure to come back. As long as they call me, I will come. There is a serial side, people get attached to the life of such and such a person. Why attach more to someone rather than another, it’s always complicated to know. Maybe I’m really a nice guy, who knows? (laughs)”, confided Xavier during a recent interview for Télé-Loisirs. To date, it has moreover “22 bonuses” on TF1 and has no intention of stopping there.
But while he seems proud to be back on the “12 noon shots” set, the one who has won the Combat des maîtres more than 5 times regrets that the winners do not have the chance to win something during these events. “I would obviously find that cool. I don’t think winning hundreds of thousands of euros is a good thing, we have already had some interesting gains in our career. But maybe for the winner a little trip as is the case in the bonuses of Don’t forget the lyrics. I would find that symbolic., he explained. Words that may not please Jean-Luc Reichmann. However, he also added: “The main thing is to make a kitty for an association at each bonus”.
