Stéphane Rotenberg rarely witnessed this outcome in “Beijing Express”.
Arriving last during the stage broadcast Wednesday evening on M6, Riadh and Abdallah, candidates in the special celebrity edition, once again found themselves in a final duel.
As the rule of the game requires, they had to choose their opponents.
Either Inès Reg and her sister Anaïs, or Rachel Legrain-Trapani and her companion Valentin Léonard.
Finally, the influencer with 4.5 million subscribers on Instagram and his best friend decided not to play the final round.
