They are not only good at giving 7s and 8s (or 4s, for Chris Marques). For this seventh week of competition in “Dancing with the Stars” on TF 1, the judges found themselves in competition. Each of them was accompanied by two celebrities, and consequently noted by their comrades. With one objective: that the total scores of the two personalities are not the lowest of the week, otherwise they end up face-to-face and risk elimination.

But even more than the competition, the evening took a strange turn around 10:30 p.m., after the third commercial break. While Black M entered the scene, comedian Inès Reg no longer appeared on screen. However, shortly before, his performance alongside Mel Charlot was praised by the jury, with 25 points including a 9 from Fauve Hautot - the best score this Friday. But suddenly, the actress disappeared, unable to attend the rapper's performance nor those of Natasha St-Pier and Keiona. “Inès Reg did not feel good in the dressing rooms,” Camille Combal first indicated. She’s cooling off, getting a little air…”
“The doctor judged that Inès was unfit to finish the show”
Except that at 11:20 p.m., when the candidate was going to have to be submitted to public votes, the host spoke again and announced that, on medical advice, Inès Reg would not be able to return before the end of the evening. “The doctor judged that Inès was unfit to finish the show and do her face-to-face dance,” he said. According to the rules of “Dancing with the Stars”, in this case and if it is not repeated, the personality can continue the adventure for an additional week. Thus, Christophe Licata's partner qualified for the quarter-finals, as did Nico Capone and Roman Doduik, victorious for the evening alongside Chris Marques.
Re-belote at 11:47 p.m., with the arrival of Gilles, the competition doctor on the set. “She felt really, really bad. She's doing better but not enough for me to think she'll be able to return to the set tonight. I had to make this decision against his will,” he said as Inès Reg discreetly returned to the stands alongside Christophe Licata.
Natasha St-Pier having obtained 52% of the votes
On the competition side, this seventh bonus was complex for Jean-Marc Généreux's team, sent directly to the face-to-face after finishing last in the ranking. However, both Adeline Toniutti and Natasha St-Pier were not unworthy. “Your energy matches that of Jean-Marc,” greeted Fauve Hautot about the “Star Academy” professor. The Canadian singer's American smooth brought a few tears to her compatriot and even allowed her to get 8s from the female jurors. And for this face-to-face… to face, following the votes of the public, Keiona was also in danger.

After a final dance, viewers were once again invited to vote to decide between the three candidates face-to-face, after a final dance to “I Follow Rivers” by Lykke Li. And finally, Natasha St-Pier having obtained 52% of the votes and Keiona 31%, Adeline Toniutti was eliminated from the competition. A joyful start to her singing exercise “Hey Man”, so sung at the “Star Academy” castle, but inevitably overshadowed by the discomfort of Inès Reg, who disappeared from the after-party and was therefore only present for the results... There is no doubt that next week's prime will be closely watched again!
