Messages to which Stéphane Rotenberg responded.
Underneath his video, he wrote:
“Sorry Artus, Mohamed and the other friends, but this is not for you yet.
That said, if one day something happens to you, you won’t have to give up!”
In his video, he addressed them directly, first specifying: “
I saw in the comments that Artus was applying, like Mohamed Cheik, the winner of “Top chef” and other candidates from “Top chef””
before explaining that the versions with personalities only came back every five or six years and that the last edition of “Pékin Express, duos de choc”, won by Inès Reg and her sister, was relatively recent .
The comedian, in fact, won the game in August 2022. The next personality version will therefore not be right away.
“It didn’t fall on deaf ears.
Dear Artus, I will take a screenshot and I will remember it”

Despite this, Stéphane Rotenberg then clarified that he would not forget the personalities concerned once the time came.
“It didn’t fall on deaf ears.
Dear Artus, I'm going to take a screenshot and I'm going to remember it like that because if, in a while we organize a version like that, seeing Artus with a red backpack at the end of the world it could be very nice.
Will he struggle, win or exit quickly?
(...) We might not get bored so why not!
I note but it’s not for now
,” he concluded.
A video which amused those mainly concerned.
Artus left the comment
“Hahaha :)”
while Mohamed Cheikh responded with the abbreviation
“Dying laughing”
then wrote
“I have great adventure skills”
with a winking emoji.
