Secret Story 2026 nominations put six contestants at risk

The revived French reality‑tv show Secret Story returned on 23 June 2026 with a new format that splits contestants between the Maison des secrets and the Yacht des secrets. On 14 July the live‑feed schedule was moved forward to 10:30‑12:30 GMT to accommodate a key nomination event.

Six participants – Arwen, Kurtis, Océane, Robin, Simon and Greta – were nominated for elimination. The public will vote during the prime‑time show on 16 July to decide which one leaves the competition. Earlier in the season the production enforced a rule banning pens and paper to force contestants to rely on memory and verbal interaction.

The nominations were decided by the show's leaders Malo and Paola, who directly placed Arwen and Kurtis on the nomination list and oversaw additional pairings chosen by the housemates. The outcome will shape alliances ahead of the next weekly elimination.
