For several weeks now, Mathieu has been proudly sitting on the red armchair of “Everyone wants to take their place” on France 2. With a nice jackpot of nearly 50,000 euros, this 39-year-old finance consultant, the champion is one of the twenty greatest participants in the game now presented by Laurence Boccolini. But this Monday, July 11, the thirties almost took the door after a somewhat failed final.
Faced with a challenger answering to the first name of Frédéric, Mathieu tripped over a questionnaire relating to beans when his opponent shone by answering questions about the Palmashow duo. With only 14 points against 18 for his challenger, the champion then found himself forced to attempt a hell of a negotiation to keep his place on the red chair. And, in order to keep his crown, the native of the Landes did not hesitate to dip hard into his kitty. He indeed offered the sum of 6500 euros to Frederic, bringing the latter’s savings to 8300 euros with the points acquired during the final.
A paying strategy since the latter accepted Mathieu’s offer, leaving him his place as champion for the upcoming show. A reversal of the situation which somewhat annoyed some viewers, eager to see Mathieu be dislodged from his throne. Some criticize him for not getting out of it solely thanks to the questions relating to the themes of sport and geography. “6000 bullets no but he is sick!! half would have been enough”, “Go see you tomorrow badgers! We’ll reconnect with sport and geo to help him recover.”, “Frankly, it might be time to limit the number of times you can lose and negotiate.” , “Mathieu loses again but Mathieu still stays!!!! Puss this champion is ZERO he is so overrated the guy will arrive in the top 10 by being totally zero”wrote some Internet users on Twitter.
