“I wouldn’t bet a case of Shaker on the victory of Clémence or Claudia. »
It is with great foresight and acuity that I wrote this prophetic sentence in my column of August 25, which followed the unveiling of the singles vintage ofDouble occupancy: Martinique, special good kisses from Fort-de-France. Nostradumas had clearly been drinking the wrong Kool-Aid or an old expired Pepito sangria, which clouded his judgement, like the logo of a sponsor who jumped ship in the midst of a media storm.
Because since the first week, the triumph of the accountant Claudia, 26, and her cowboy-tiler Jimy, 29, was as predictable as a decision of the board of directors of OD. And with the dismissal of the three specialists in the toxic atmosphere, there was nothing left to test the two lovebirds, not even a stinky sweater, a doggie magané (hello Lapinette) and a dromedary named Monsieur Babines.
Favorites of viewers since the first blow of the fan, Jimy and Claudia, who live respectively in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu and Repentigny, inherited the keys to their condo in Mirabel in the portion of OD which was relayed live, Sunday evening, on the waves of Noovo.
Nobody spat out their Salvatoré pizza when the golden wrapper revealed their smiling faces. It was the easiest coronation to predict since that of King Charles III.
Walide, a 28-year-old beneficiary attendant, and Aïssa, a 24-year-old nursing student, had no chance of doing their hair. Their romance was not as fusional and intense, borderline cheesy, as that between Claudia and Jimy, who were the top 1 each other as soon as the first bottle of Bulles de nuit is opened.
And in a turn worthy of Star Academy, singer Matt Lang even invited Jimy to join him on stage on January 19 in Gatineau. Will little Liam’s dad play his mega-success there: “it’s too good to be true, would you be there too soon if we loved each other”? The suspense is killing me, stop.
At the end of the episode, Jay Du Temple confirmed his departure from OD after six seasons in the role of Captain Twist, while announcing the return of Noovo’s reality show for another edition. Eyes in the water, the now beardless host thanked producer Julie Snyder and the team behind OD. “My life has completely changed thanks to you,” he said in front of the spectators of the studio of The week of the 4 Juliesthe tremolo in the voice.
Without too much subtlety, and after a stormy month of October where the controversy nearly swept away everything, the production put the package on the positive aspect of OD by bringing back the couples who survived the game of the bottle, whose last year’s winners, Inès and Stevens, as well as the winners ofDouble occupancy with usNoémie and Vincent.
See how beautiful love is, it’s between two Cook It dinners and a Spinelli car ride!
The competitor shouted down by the three malevolent musketeers, the firefighter-carpenter Jonathan Desjardins, 26, took his revenge by winning (with the hairdresser-colorist Virginie) the public’s favorite prize. In September, this same Jonathan had also been chosen by the fans to deposit his suitcases directly in the Martinican villas.
On the board side, 23-year-old education student Megan — not to be confused with Megane and her fancy saddles — picked up the darling prize of $50,000. Again, no one spat out their Guru, no wait, no one spat out their (name redacted) in astonishment. We have to adapt to the post-scandal era, thank you.
Let’s talk about it, the very first OD board, a great idea on paper that didn’t really take off. In particular because its members have never broken up a cherished couple or sent strong heads back to Quebec. Their decisions have always been conservative and timid, as if they were afraid to really “shuffle the cards”, to use their limited vocabulary.
The only good shot of the CA is to have fished Jimy on the red carpet, to whom the girls had preferred the photographer Michael, 22 years old, from Saint-Eustache, remember.
In theory, the model Isaack, sorry, the candidate Voldemort should never have joined the adventure. He joined the group after the withdrawal of construction contractor Marc-Olivier, 26 years old.
Sunday’s finale was zero thrilling, excluding Jay Du Temple’s multiple costume changes. For an hour, we were treated to a tourist topo of the Great Explorers type on the splendours of Morocco. “It really looks like… a movie,” commented Jimy between two close-up shots of acrobatic pouring of mint tea. This same Jimy, in paragliding activity, will notice that “it’s the most beautiful view I’ve seen in my life”. Great.
And during his hot air balloon ride, Walide loved “the feeling of floating” he experienced in the air. Well, floating, floating, made there, as long as Jimy doesn’t grab his guitar, we’re ready to let a lot of things go by.
