The competition continued this Friday, September 23 in Dance with the stars. It was the third bonus of this 12th season, during which ten couples were still in the running following the eliminations of David Douillet and Katrina Patchett and Théo Fernandez and Alizée Bois. This week, it is finally Clémence Castel and Candice Pascal who have not made the weight against the other candidates. It must be said that there was a high level on the floor, in particular with the services of Billy Crawford, Stéphane Legar or Carla Lazzari. The season has just started but the jurors are therefore already very demanding. And this is the young Lea Elui who paid for it.
With his partner Christopher Licata, the 21-year-old TikTokeuse presented a rumba that was intended to be sensual. But, despite all her efforts, it was not enough for Marie-Agnès Gillot, the new juror of the show and star of the Paris Opera ballet. “Even if you were very tense Lea, I would like to have very tense legs. That is to say that I find that the leg is not stretched enough, the kneecap is not raised… I feel like there’s, I don’t know if I’m wrong, a little lack of work, rehearsals and rehearsals“, she estimated.
A remark that quickly annoyed Christophe Licata. He then grabbed the microphone to reframe Marie-Agnès Gillot. “That’s wrong! There, I have to defend her. Really, she doesn’t stop, she sends me videos from her house, night, day… So I can’t let you say that!“, he corrected her firmly. And for the classical dancer to reply: “That’s why I’m asking! I think there is not enough progress“It was Léa Elui herself who had the final word, not without emotion.”I’m really very hard on myself and in any case, I did my best“, she simply said.
On Twitter, the reactions of Internet users were mixed. Some have taken the side of the young Léa: “I really found what Marie Agnès said about Lea Elui very inappropriate, that she didn’t work much“, “Christophe is so right to defend his dancer, he does it every season“. And others understood the juror’s criticisms: “Fthe judge is right, we have to stop being groupies. (…) She’s not on the beat. It’s not bad but good to say that she danced well...”, “If I understand correctly Léa Elui only knows how to dance on TikTok.“
