Star Academy: Upcoming prime and contestant updates

The Star Academy competition continues on TF1, with a special prime scheduled for Saturday, October 31, 2026. The upcoming episode will feature guest artists Marguerite, Claudio Capéo, Sheryfa Luna, and Belgian artist TeddyBear, who is expected to receive a ‘carte blanche’ performance.

Recent episodes have highlighted various contestant experiences. Following the elimination of Elija on October 24, the contestant expressed that she took the voting process from her peers professionally, stating, “I don't take it personally at all, because it's a game.”

Meanwhile, Félix, the first contestant from Quebec to participate, has shared his struggles with integration at the Dammarie-les-Lys castle. He admitted to his fellow students that he often feels withdrawn and finds it difficult to find his place within the large group. This has led to concerns among viewers on social media regarding his visibility in the program.
