This Friday, TF1 bet on nostalgia to seduce viewers. By broadcasting the program “The 50 favorite shows of the French”, the channel made a splash in terms of audience, but it is however far from having only made people happy! Fanatics of the small screen were certainly delighted to see legendary scenes, such as those of Christophe Dechavanne animating “The Wheel of Fortune”, with the spectacular Victoria Silvstedt, boy bands at the top of the poster in “Hit Machine” on M6, without forgetting archive images of other cult shows, such as “C’est mon chose”, Burger Quiz” or “Le maillon weakene”, to name but a few. But this program was also a competition, with a ranking established by the public. And that’s where it all went wrong!
“The voters are residents in nursing homes! “, protested one of them
The ranking went down from the 50th up to first place. And when, having reached 43th rank, the “Star Academy” was cited, some saw red. The ringmaster of the day, Nikos Aliagas, who hosted this cult program for a long time, tried in vain to calm the situation by declaring: “43th the Star Ac’ on 50? Bah, it’s not bad…”, not everyone shared his point of view. Starting with the choreographer Kamel Ouali, amazed by this rank unworthy of the success of the telecrochet of TF1 “There is a 4 too much there. It’s the 3th position at least! “, he swung. At the same time, on Twitter, lightning fell on the voters. “This show should be in the Top 10. Do you want me dead or what? You voted with your feet, it’s not possible! “, posted one, “Star Academy 43th, but WTF, it’s nonsense there! “Wrote another, “The voters are residents in nursing homes! “, protested a user. And these are only excerpts from an anthology of reactions. These disappointed will still have a good reason to console themselves: the Star Academy will soon make its big comeback on TF1, fourteen years after having bowed out.
