Star Academy Prime Brings Emotional Family Reunions and the Elimination of Antoine
Trois nommés—Maud, Antoine, and Ydriss—ont fait face au vote du public, menant au départ d’Antoine après trois semaines au château. The evening combined guest duets, student self-portraits, and familial surprises.
Following the departures of Khalil and Elija earlier in the season, the competition narrowed further for the remaining 14th-season cast members at the Dammarie-les-Lys castle, according to Voici. Since the Saturday of October 10, 2026, this fourteenth season has structured the weekly schedules for fans of the TF1 talent show, where the new cast rigorously follows lessons from professors Lydia Bouchard for scenic expression, Sofia Morgavi for singing, Jonathan Jenvrin for dance, Papy for theater, and Ladji Doucouré for sports. The Saturday broadcast mixed high-stakes challenges with emotional reunions on stage.
Family Surprises and Emotional Duets on Stage
Throughout the evening, students shared the stage with guest artists and family members. Kylian performed “Les Sunlights des tropiques” before singing with his mother and grandmother. Leeloo joined guest artist Marguerite to sing “Un peu beaucoup,” while Cameron teamed up with Teddy Bear to perform “Chaussures roses,” receiving praise from director Mosimann.
Surprises shaped much of the broadcast. Cameron performed Kendji Girac’s “Les yeux de la mama” after an unexpected on-stage appearance by his mother, Nathalie. Zoé sang an original song titled “Lison” dedicated to her sister after an emotional family reunion, having been left entirely speechless when her sister walked out onto the set. Félix welcomed his father, Philippe, who travelled from Québec to sing Cat Stevens’ “Father and Son” on stage, prompting the father to declare that he would remember the moment for the rest of his life.
Noémie Wins Top Three Immunity While Antoine Leaves the Castle
Mélina also performed a tableau, following a similar challenge where Zoé and Morgan were tasked with performing “Fous ta cagoule” by Fatal Bazooka.
For the elimination, the public saved Maud, leaving Antoine and Ydriss in the hands of their fellow students. Zoé cast the deciding vote in favor of Ydriss, resulting in Antoine’s permanent departure from the competition.
