The TF1 game show ‘Les 12 coups de midi’ has undergone a period of transition following the departure of long-standing contestant Émilien. After participating in more than 200 episodes and winning nearly one million euros, Émilien’s exit prompted a production hiatus to prepare a special broadcast and potentially refresh the program’s format. Following this period, the show has seen a rise in viewership, reaching 2.45 million viewers with a 35.3% market share for the 4+ age demographic. The program introduced a new ‘back-to-school’ set design to replace summer decor. Sébastien, a 44-year-old from the Vosges region, has emerged as the new champion. A former garbage collector, primary school teacher, and crocodile park guide currently training to be a teacher-librarian, Sébastien has also shared that he lives with hyperacusis, a hearing disorder characterized by extreme sensitivity to noise. His winning streak has progressed significantly. After initially accumulating approximately 55,542 euros over 12 participations—which included winning a ‘mysterious star’ valued at 31,142 euros—he has since reached 24 participations. His total winnings have now climbed to 102,192 euros. During his run, he faced a moment of tension when he incorrectly identified the department number for Mayotte as ‘975’ instead of ‘101’, which rendered him ineligible for a ‘Étoile mystérieuse’ prize valued at 48,398 euros. Sébastien has since increased his total winnings to 105,193 euros. During a recent broadcast, his partner, daughter, and 8-month-old son, Novak, appeared in the audience. As the competition continues, 29 tiles remain to reveal the ‘Étoile mystérieuse’, with clues such as Montmartre, a lion, and a camel leading to speculation that the mystery celebrity is actor Jean Reno.
