Last Wednesday, October 11, French viewers of Best Pastry Chef attended the elimination of Clémence, the Belgian representative of the competition. The 24-year-old young woman, a real estate agent undergoing career change, was eliminated at the end of a week devoted to chocolate, but learned a few moments later that she was joining the mystery test concocted this year by Mercotte, and which will allow an eliminated candidate to re-enter the competition at the very last minute. This episode, broadcast almost a week ago on M6, was only presented to Belgians this Monday, October 16, 2023. But the supporters of young Clémence were unable to witness its elimination… Indeed, tragic news obliges, the number of Best Pastry Chefwas abruptly interrupted due to the attacks perpetrated against three Swedish nationals by an assailant claiming to be a member of the El. Two of the Swedes were murdered, and the third, although still alive, is in critical condition.
A special edition immediately took place, and young Clémence was therefore not eliminated on television. For the moment, RTL-TVI has not indicated whether this number will be rescheduled next week, or whether they will continue with the next number. All that remains is that this episode can be found in full on the site and the application of RTLplay. Near Sudinfo.beClémence returned to her elimination: “I suspected it a little. Let’s say that chocolate week put me in the sauce (…) Joking aside, it’s a very difficult subject to understand (…) Maybe I was too confident. I think I would have been able to make it at least halfway through the season.”.
She was doubly eliminated… but the Belgians saw nothing
Unfortunately for Clémence, her arrival in The secret kitchen of Mercotte will only have been short-lived, since she was also eliminated by Monique, who passed the required test. The young woman was eliminated due to a bad choice of mold, which was fatal to her: “I was even more disappointed after my time in The secret kitchen, where I was eliminated due to a mold. With Monique, we made each step of the cake at the same time, except that she chose a stainless steel mold and I, a silicone one. This was detrimental to me. But that’s the game and despite everything, I remain happy with my journey”.
