With “the secret choice”, the M6 ​​game changes the rules of the final duel

new in Beijing Express ! The seventeenth season of the adventure game, which will soon be launched on M6, was presented to the media this Friday. A major change has been made to the rules. The duo who arrived last in the stage will not be the only ones to decide which duo they will face in the final duel to try to save their place in the competition. From now on, all the pairs will have their say and will vote by secret ballot to designate the team they wish to put on the hot seat.

“Before, the pair who arrived last chose to face the one who seemed to them the least strong, this new rule will bring a certain dose of strategies and alliances”, warns Thierry Guillaume, the producer of the show.

This “secret choice” – this is also the name of this edition – is not the only addition to the program. The “infernal roulette” will appear for a stage. Host Stéphane Rotenberg will spin a roulette wheel to complicate the progress of candidates in the race. For example: hitchhiking in silence, expressing yourself only by singing…

The hidden pair rule does not return this season and will be replaced by a new rule that the production announces as surprising.

“We had to replace events at the last minute”

Eight pairs will be at the start, on the shores of Lake Titicaca, in Bolivia. Among them, a young Belgian couple who has never travelled, a gay Breton couple, two sisters “like cats and dogs” and a surprising boss-employee duo who sticks to formal formalities…

The production received some 40,000 applications for this edition, which was shot for thirty-five days between Bolivia, Paraguay and Brazil, in August and September.

The southern hemisphere winter, altitude and nights below 0°C were particularly trying for candidates and production. The final, in Rio de Janeiro, took place in the middle of a tropical storm. “We had to replace events at the last minute”, specifies Thierry Guillaume.

that the faithful of Beijing Express reassure themselves: this will in no way thwart their thirst for a change of scenery. Highlights on the roadmap include the Uyuni Salt Flats, Iguazu Falls and Sao Polo Frenzy.
