THE TWELVE BLOWS OF NOON. On the day of her 16th participation, Cécile was eliminated from the 12 noon shots. We take stock of the clues of the mysterious star.
[Mis à jour le 18 août 2022 à 11h46] The 12 noon shots adventure is over for Cécile. The Breton candidate was eliminated this Wednesday during her 16th participation. Cécile explained precisely at the start of the program that she was quite superstitious when we celebrated World Black Cat Day yesterday. At the end of the show, it was young Jade who took her place as master of the 12 noon shots. To celebrate her first win, Jade won €10,000 to share with a viewer! The young woman now has a prize pool of €5,000. She presented herself in front of the mysterious star which reveals several clues: a garden setting surrounded by trees, a ping pong table, coffee cups, a red scooter and a straw hat. Faced with the enigma of the midday star, Jade proposed the name of actor Gérard Darmon but without success.
It was on Tuesday July 26 that Yaël found the last mysterious star of the 12 strokes of noon. The champion of the time had then revealed only three clues: an airliner, a desert landscape and a red umbrella. There were still many boxes to reveal in the puzzle, but that didn’t stop him from finding the solution. The stretcher-bearer from Orne proposed the name of Bérénice Bejo before explaining his theory. The desert is none other than Patagonia (Bérénice Bejo was born in Argentina), the red umbrella is a reference to musicals (she wanted to become an actress by watching this kind of film) and finally the plane is a reference to a film in which she played a flight attendant (unless it’s just a reference to one of her first films called Comme un avion). In doing so, Yaël won more than €59,000 in her personal kitty, which reached the sum of €129,459. Unfortunately, Yaël was eliminated from the 12 noon shots the next day.
