Already two campers have left the sticky reality show Get me out of here! of TVA, namely the skateboarder Sébastien Toutant, who did not unscrew enough red pellets with mice on their heads, as well as the host Patricia Paquin, who miscalculated the number of critters swarming in an aquarium where, between others, two small caimans.
The absence of Seb Toutant, a discreet sportsman, will not dig a gaping hole in the episodes. The camera barely showed the 31-year-old athlete in the moments of daily life, between two bowls of oatmeal, now sweetened and swallowed around the fire.
Patricia Paquin, arriving after a terrifying ordeal with aquatic snakes, moved more (humid) air than Toots. After these two quick departures, you surely suspect that one last celebrity – not yet announced by TVA – will join the adventure in the stifling jungle of Panama. Hint: we saw this person in the Les Olivier Gala, Sunday evening, at the other station. This super popular star has also worked for all the major networks, from one tower to another.
The last episode of Get me out of here!, seen by 1,379,000 addicts, tested the fears of only one person, poor Dave Morissette, who fears snakes and tight spaces like the plague. Obviously the production buried him in a pit, then covered with 31 snakes, which hissed at his face for 15 minutes. At. Rescue.
While Dave Morissette screamed in terror in his grave, Alexandre Barrette advised him to “breathe continuously”. Had to think about it. If Alexandre Barrette wishes to preserve his role as a comic spring alongside Jean-Philippe Dion, he will have to move away from the hotel buffet, prostate and hair gags of Alex Perron, which smell of reheated food.
The resounding success of Get me out of here!which exceeds that of The voice (1,241,000 viewers), is deserved. The show has gone up a big notch compared to last year. The challenges prove more stressful, demanding and horrifying. And the attachment to the participants was made more quickly.
I like the teasing complicity between the comedian Rosalie Vaillancourt and the actress Audrey Roger. I’m rediscovering the host Clodine Desrochers, one of my favorites of this edition. You would almost have to market your pendulum.

Philippe Laprise is hilarious, Alex Perron (and his faces) too. And Sophie Durocher is probably the most enthusiastic and positive player in the group. Even Dave Morissette’s scoutmaster energy is contagious, to put it mildly.
Still Sunday evening, the penultimate evening of elimination of Big Brother Celebrities attracted 690,000 fans to Noovo’s airwaves. As for the 25e Gala Les Olivier, co-piloted by Eve Côté and Cathy Gauthier, retained exactly the same audience rating as last year, i.e. 835,000 faithful to the station.
In the final round of qualifying The voiceTHE coaches made dubious and questionable decisions by failing two artists who would have deserved their place in the semi-final.
Difficult to explain why Roxane Bruneau preferred Chadé Losane, 27, to Norah Lapointe, 19, whose resumption of Start from scratch by Joe Bocan was vibrant and touching.
Norah Lapointe, accompanied by her mother, Caroline Riverin (one of the founders of the Québec Issime troupe), and her stepfather, Marc-André Fortin (winner of Star Academy 2005), had the potential to shine like Sophie Grenier, last year’s champion.
Chadé Losane exudes a lot of confidence on stage. But his rereading ofAnother Love by British singer Tom Odell did not provoke chills similar to those felt during the limpid performance of the young Norah Lapointe. Damage.
At France D’Amour, the team’s most original candidate, metalhead Guillaume Lessard, 24, was pushed aside in favor of Lee-Ann Bergevin, 26, a former competitor from Corneille’s team.

The candidate of The voice Lee-Ann Bergevin
It’s far from easy to push high notes like Meat Loaf on I’d Do Anything for Love, and Guillaume Lessard succeeded. A charismatic performer with a powerful voice, Lee-Anne Bergevin slipped in front of Guillaume Lessard thanks to the play Mamma Knows Best by Jessie J, which she remade with striking aplomb.
Disappointed for Guillaume, but happy for Lee-Anne, that sums up the situation well.
On Corneille’s side, Redge Olibrice, 28, was the most impressive on The rose and the armor by Antoine Élie. He easily surpassed Wissem, 27, and Anaïs Goulet, 18, the one Corneille had kept to dismiss… Lee-Anne Bergevin. Oops!
As for Mario Pelchat’s protégés, it was William Osias, 26, who stood out the most with Let’s Get It On by Marvin Gaye. Message to future candidates for this type of musical talent show: tackling Kelly Clarkson or Mariah Carey is the most difficult thing to do. The comparison with the original version can only be unfavorable and cruel.
