[Mis à jour le 17 février 2023 à 9h23] Beijing Express signed its return for its 17th season this Thursday, February 16, 2023.

Sisters Alexandra and Laura already stand out as strong opponents, having won the immunity trial and the endgame amulet.
Conversely, Colette and Léa, aunt and niece, encountered more difficulties, Colette suffering in particular from altitude sickness… Unfortunately, this caused them to lose a considerable delay and forced them to find themselves in a final duel against to Angie and Natalie. They failed to win here and were eliminated from this first episode of Beijing Express.
