THE TWELVE BLOWS OF NOON. The adventure continues for Yaël in the 12 strokes of noon. The master of noon continues on his way and reveals new spaces of the mysterious star.
[Mis à jour le 11 juillet 2022 à 11h18] After a two-week hiatus to make way for the master fight, the 12 noon shots are back in their classic version on TF1. This Sunday, Yaël continued his adventure with a ninth victory in Jean-Luc Reichmann’s daily game. The stretcher-bearer from Orne came to the masterstroke stage with €20,000 in potential winnings. With a misstep on the last question, he won €2,000 to share with a viewer. His personal kitty climbs by €1,000 and reaches the sum of €34,100. The mystery star is aptly named for now as it only reveals two clues so far: a desert landscape and a red umbrella. Faced with these clues, Yaël proposed the name of actor Pierre Richard but without success.
In the previous mysterious star of 12 noon shots, Camille Cottin had to be found. As for the clues, here are the explanations we were able to find about them. The inflatable pink flamingo refers to the film Larguées in which Camille Cottin plays. The crown is probably a reference to the film Connasse, princess of hearts in which her character decides to become royal highness and seduce Prince Harry. The typical London double-decker bus reminds us that she spent five years in London as a teenager. The LGBT-colored ribbon may be a nod to the character of Andréa, whom she portrays in the 10 percent series. The world map can also be a reference to her international career since Camille Cottin is now a sought-after actress in the United States. As for the Japanese setting, the actress took part in an ad for a Japanese phone.
