During the fourteenth season of Star Academy, three contestants—Brieuc, Elijha, and Zoé—were nominated for eviction following an evaluation session themed around the artist Vianney. The administration cited specific technical and performance issues for the nominations, including pronunciation struggles for Brieuc, pacing difficulties during piano performances for Elijha, and repeated technical difficulties during Zoé’s song. 

On October 24, 2026, the first official elimination of the season took place. Following a vote, Zoé was saved directly by the television audience, and Brieuc retained his place through a student vote, resulting in Elijha’s elimination. Following her departure, Elijha stated that she viewed the voting process professionally, noting, ‘I don't take it personally at all, because it's a game.’

As the competition progresses, Félix, the first contestant from Quebec, has expressed difficulties integrating into the group at the Dammarie-les-Lys castle, admitting to feeling withdrawn. Meanwhile, a special prime episode is scheduled for October 31, 2026, featuring guest artists Marguerite, Claudio Capéo, Sheryfa Luna, and TeddyBear, who is expected to receive a ‘carte blanche’ performance.
