Astrid Makes History on N’oubliez Pas les Paroles with Record-Setting Streak
French television contestant Astrid has set a new benchmark on the quiz show N’oubliez Pas les Paroles, securing 11 consecutive victories and amassing €83,000 in prize money. The pedagogical designer, known for her playful approach to learning, broke the show’s record by winning six bells in a row at the start of her run, a feat described by host Nagui as “an absolute record.”
According to the show, Astrid’s streak began on June 26, after she defeated competitor Clara. Her rapid success earned her immediate acclaim, with Nagui declaring, “We are living a moment that has never happened on this show, never.” Astrid’s wins, which include a €20,000 final prize, have drawn comparisons to the show’s most iconic contestants.
Temporary Scheduling Shift as Le Tour de France Takes Over
Fans of the show will have to wait until July 6 to see Astrid’s next appearance. On July 3, Nagui announced a special programming change, stating, “We’ll be back on Monday because tomorrow is the start of the Tour de France.” The cycling event, which began in Barcelona, led France 2 to temporarily pause N’oubliez Pas les Paroles for its first stage.
This scheduling shift has left viewers speculating about Astrid’s next move. With her current prize pot at €83,000, the maestro is just a small amount away from surpassing the six-figure milestone, a threshold that could elevate her to the ranks of the show’s most celebrated contestants.
Astrid’s Secret Weapon: A Friendship with Former Champion Benoît
Astrid’s success has been bolstered by her connection to Benoît, a former contestant widely regarded as the greatest maestro in the history of N’oubliez Pas les Paroles. The two met through online revision communities, where they practiced together and shared strategies. “We become friends because, by force of circumstance and our revisions, we have more or less equivalent levels and we play together,” Astrid explained on the show. “He was the first to be behind me when he knew I was going to play.”
Benoît has not yet faced Astrid in a head-to-head matchup. However, their friendship has become a focal point for fans, many of whom are eager to see if Astrid could one day challenge him in the show’s prestigious Masters tournament.
What’s Next for Astrid?
As of July 6, Astrid’s next episode will air on France 2, with viewers hoping she can extend her record.
For now, Astrid’s story remains a testament to preparation, luck, and the power of community.
