On Monday, the prime time debriefing saw Michael Goldman announce to the students that the assessments would take place this week in pairs.
This November 1, the Star Academicians can't get over it: funny atmosphere at the castle, where everyone grumbles while commenting on the news.
One of them mentions the fact that it's Halloween day, but the joyful reception of this announcement is short-lived: on TF 1, the party will be for later, you have to rehearse and train .
In this game, Léa and Tiana will, each in turn, put on a show at the risk of jeopardizing their duo.
It is Léa who stands out in the first place.
Everyone has to go to sports class, except her because… she's sleeping!
"I'm tired," she announces to her partner Tiana, who then finds herself well isolated.
“She pains me, she is all alone for the tests with the sports coach”, commented Léa later.
In sports training, Anisha the fighter puts pressure on her partner, the nonchalant Julien: “For this duo, I want to be with someone who lets go, I'm counting on you and I trust you.
» The singing lesson is to follow and, surprised, Léa finally arrives, looking crestfallen… « Sit down if you are not well », the teacher tells her.
But in the end, the two-person vocalizations wake her up — “it makes me feel good, it lets me off steam.
»
At the prime, Élodie Frégé, Garou, Christophe Willem, Apple…
Outside, day: bucolic atmosphere, the birds sing on the roofs of the castle... not for long, here they are covered and then driven away by the inaccurate vocalizations of Paola and Carla.
The birds will be able to come back, because the dance class begins.
Tiana tangles her brushes: “There, I'm totally struggling on one step, but I prefer to say nothing, I stay in my corner and then too bad…” Prof Yanis Marshal gets carried away: “Where is your energy?… .
If you don't perform during the lesson, you're going to struggle without me on set during the prime…” Too hard to take for Tiana, who runs to hide.
Léa arrives on her heels, but has to curb her momentum in front of the closed bathroom door: “Tiana, are you there?
Do you shit, pee or cry?
Come on, I'll help you, we'll get there.

The rest gives way to the announcements of the stars who will sing a duet with the students for the bonus: Garou, Christophe Willem, Pomme and Elodie Frégé, who arouses the enthusiasm of Paola: “Doing a duet with her would be great.
» She already sees herself there, Paola, who launches in a great movement of modesty: « Maybe in twenty years the Star Ac will still exist, and it's me who should do a duet with a student!

Slimane's masterclass
Slimane is also announced for the duets, with a surprise as a bonus: the former winner of "The Voice" will give a "special lesson" today to prepare for the evaluations.
"It's surreal", comments Enola, amazed.
After his arrival at the castle, the students, at his request, embark on an exercise where everyone must think in a lying position in order to "find the child who is in oneself".
Then everyone comes to explain what their song “Avant Toi” evokes to them.
It flies high on Stan's side: “For me, it's very strong”, he proclaims… before slaughtering the title with Chris.
"It's not all the time in suffering, be careful", slice the artist.
Slimane's departure is marked by a nocturnal sequence where Léa takes him aside and admits to him "crying every day" and "being still too fragile".
He reassures her by explaining to her how he once got away with it.
And it's Halloween time: disguises are made available to the students, finally time to relax... except for Julien, whom Anisha forces to rehearse the choreography of their duet.
He grumbles: “I would like to have fun, I'm a child!
“We had understood…
