After the Lego bricks and while waiting for the dominoes, also on M 6, TF 1 in turn finds the playground games.
This Monday, the channel started filming “Marble Mania”, an XXL version marbles competition produced by Satisfaction, Arthur's company.
And for the occasion, the teams headed for the Netherlands, the country of origin of the program.
With a well-known animator since, according to our information, it is Camille Combal who will be the master of ceremonies of this new game. He will thus be on the board, as close as possible to the balls and the celebrities who will participate for the benefit of associations.
Made famous by his comments of matches without images on the channel L'Equipe, Yoann Riou will be alongside Camille Combal.
But the strong man on the front page, already at the head of “Mask Singer” and “La grande encruste”, will not be alone.
He will be accompanied by a face already seen on the channel but not as a host.
It is indeed Yoann Riou who will provide the comments in his own way.
An exercise that obviously recalls the football matches that he deciphers with all his madness on the channel L'Équipe, sometimes bordering on hysteria by telling what happens on the field in the absence of images of the match.
“Marble Mania” will also be an opportunity for Yoann Riou to meet the front page audience, who know him for his participation in “Dance with the stars” in 2019. Despite bad marks from the judges, the public demonstrated a great support and had become attached to his exuberant but endearing personality, allowing him to stay five weeks on the floor of the One.
Recorded at the start of the week in the suburbs of Amsterdam, “Marble Mania” should arrive in prime time on TF 1 in the coming weeks for several numbers. The concept is simple: celebrities compete in a ball fight. Each personality will first have to triumph in a game of skill to have more small balls to throw then on impressive circuits where speed, gravity and luck can upset all the forecasts. Until the grand finale where 6,000 balls will be on the track!
A wacky format that we owe to John de Mol, the prolific creator of shows such as “Loft Story”, “The Voice” or “Take it or leave it”. And which is already very successful in the Netherlands, its country of origin, but also in Germany. What reassure the first channel which, a few months ago, had refused "Lego Masters", finally became a box on M 6.
