Jean Airoldi took out his golden claws, as well as 25 tokens, and he served up a whole lesson in style to his classmates. Big Brother Celebritieswho stuck a bunch of needles in his pincushion without getting his skin.
Honestly, big respect to the fashion designer and real estate agent, one of the few on Noovo reality TV not to hide behind the other competitors while waiting for the storm to pass. Dean of the house, Jean Airoldi, honest and frank, plays with his visor up, a frontal strategy which will cause his loss in the medium term, of course, but which exactly reflects the frustrations of the hundreds of thousands of viewers tuned to Noovo five evenings a week .
There are limits to being filled with “boulechite”. No longer able to hear mediocre players rambling that “it’s not personal, it’s for my game” or “I don’t want to go against the pulse of the house”.
Thanks to Jean Airoldi, who wore a sweater emblazoned with the expression “my gang of liars”, for this brutal and unfiltered honesty. He was the star of this last week as bouncy as the damned red ball of punishments.
When Olympian Charles Hamelin installed him twice on the elimination block, Jean Airoldi called him “a traitorous ostie”. With reason.
When actor and screenwriter Daniel Savoie refused to use his veto to protect him from eviction, Jean Airoldi – literally – sent him to shit. With a smirk. There was something deeply satisfying about seeing a participant finally remove their mask of restraint and no longer speak the language of wood.
Was Jean Airoldi injured by the shenanigans of his colleagues? He said it well. And he showed his anger. To our greatest happiness, lord.
Yes, it’s extremely risky, bordering on suicidal, to say things bluntly to Big Brother Celebrities. But as Jean Airoldi had nothing left to lose, everyone was asking for his head on a stake, he used the scorched earth tactic by removing several grenades.
It must be said that the relentlessness against Jean Airoldi was difficult to understand. Even his Zoolander ally, comedian Erika Suarez, actively campaigned to dismiss the fifty-year-old designer. Eight people to one never looks good.
Strangely, no one in the majority alliance of Ladies of Hearts blamed Erika for pressing the golden button, cashing in five chips and triggering a “twist” as rare as a mattifying powder in Gabrielle Marion’s makeup bag : that of going back a week. We erase and start again. Like Groundhog Day.
This intense episode, relayed Sunday evening and expanded to 90 minutes, was considered the best suspense on Quebec television.
Production therefore moved the tape back seven days, replenished the token vaults and resumed the action after the dismissal of host and former mixed martial arts champion Pat Côté. The host Marie-Mai, on her X more than ever, even put on her white dress from last Sunday, from Mônot. Then, the last nine housemates repeated the boss and vet challenges, with few notable changes.
Jean Airoldi and Erika Suarez landed on the block, Jean was zigzagged again, and the boat Big Brother was sailing in the right direction (what a lame expression).
Until, surprise, the designer returns to the catwalk for a final salute. With the tokens that were reimbursed to him, Jean Airoldi bought the precious necklace of redemption, which allowed him to return to his single bed in the green room, after having easily won the playing card test. Insert here a “flashback” of the transparent cabin of How old do you give me? at Canal Vie.
What a delightful turnaround, really. At the start of the season, who could have predicted that Jean Airoldi would shake things up so much? The friendly designer has gained several new fans, including me. Go, Johnny, go!
After Sunday’s show, I even thought about tearing up my membership card from the group of admirers of the actress Joëlle Paré-Beaulieu, disappointing in the last few days, I find.
Fortunately, Jean Airoldi benefits from immunity this week, because he would have been the target of attacks again. He chased after you, you might say, calling all his opponents “two-faced.” TRUE. And to quote his roommate Daniel Savoie, this is what we call “making a mistake”.
The new boss, Paralympic athlete Frédérique Turgeon, has practically sworn that she will overhaul the house, which looks like false promises that she will not keep, unfortunately.
Frédérique wants to kill Erika Suarez, and it’s perfect for the survival of our hero of the day, Jean Airoldi. Yes, he annoys us a little with his dresses made from toilet paper. But he fights like an alley cat and shakes up the established order.
This is why it is not the time to return it to Aubainerie or to play again in Airoldi for an outing.
