Star Academy: Elija eliminated in first official vote

Elija was eliminated from the fourteenth season of Star Academy on Saturday, October 24, 2026, following a vote by her fellow students. The elimination occurred after three contestants—Elija, Brieuc, and Zoé—were nominated for eviction.

Zoé was saved directly by the television audience, while Brieuc retained his place in the competition after the student vote. This marks the first official elimination of the season, following an earlier voluntary departure by contestant Khalil.

This edition of the program features new leadership and staff, including Philippine Lavrey, who has joined as a replacement rehearsal coach. The recent evaluations required students to prepare performances within a 24-hour window based on themes related to the season's sponsor, Vianney.
