Patrick ROBERT / M6
Arnaud and Pierre-Louis lost the final duel of the sixth stage of the
Beijing Express
broadcast Tuesday on M6.
The test was eliminatory.
“Knowing that we finished last was a disaster.
We found ourselves at the bottom of the bucket when we were in a good position for immunity, ”Arnaud told
20 Minutes
.
The two brothers then learned that they were staying in the race as a hidden duo from the seventh stage.
What gives them a chance of repechage.
“We took it like a giant hide-and-seek, says Arnaud.
It's tiring but funny.

Pierre-Louis and Arnaud, presented as “the party brothers” of this fourteenth season of
Pékin Express
did not have the heart to the bamboo.
At the end of the sixth stage broadcast Tuesday on M6, learning that the final duel they had just lost was eliminatory, they burst into tears.
“All the pressure dropped, it was hard.
It's such a beautiful adventure that we tell ourselves that we shouldn't stop now, that we have to go to Turkey, ”Arnaud told
20 Minutes
.
The game is not over for the duo of brothers, however.
A few hours after their elimination, they learned that they would be the "hidden buddy" in the next stage, which gives them a chance to be drafted.
Provided that none of the other competitors get their hands on them.
Was the end of stage six a nightmare for you?
We had a roller coaster ride.
We experienced incredible things on this stage, in particular the ascent of Mount Olympus and the night with the locals which was one of the most beautiful of our adventure, one of those where we also ate the most. (laughs).
And then, knowing that we finished last, it was a disaster.
We find ourselves at the bottom of the bucket when we were well placed for immunity.
The three pairs in danger were the three “untouchables” during the previous stage.
Is it a return of karma compared to other teams?
Yes, maybe that's it, well seen!
There are some pairs that actually have more affinities with others, that can be understood, but in general we got along well.
During the "untouchables", we were in the worst configuration.
We really like Cinzia and Rose-Marie as well as Jonathan and Aurore.
We had to make a choice in consultation with Christophe and Claire who were without hesitation for the couple.
The girls were angry with us, understandably, they were not unworthy either.
For them it was the cold shower.
It hurt our hearts.
In the next episode, it was not forgotten, they held a resentment towards us, but we spoke again.
When Stéphane Rotenberg comes to tell you that you are staying in the race as a hidden buddy, you weren't expecting it?
You should know that with Pierre-Louis, we had never really watched
Pékin Express
before.
We didn't really know how it was going, we didn't know anything about the hidden pair… So after our elimination, we were in our room, annoyed, trying to see the bright side of things.
I told myself that I was going to be able to go to college without missing out on class, for example.
And then Stéphane knocked on the door with a newspaper.
We read a box on page 9, bottom right: “Congratulations, you are the hidden buddy!
With my brother, we looked at each other, we couldn't believe it.
When we realized that we were going to Turkey, we were happy to have one more challenge.
Your friendly pairs then become your opponents.
According to the preview of next week's episode, they'll do anything to flush you out ...
They will all be against us.
They have to touch the backpack to eliminate us, so it's true that they are implementing strategies to block our way, but I can tell you that we know how to run (laughs).
We took it as a giant hide-and-seek.
Not that big because we all take the same road.
It's tiring but funny.
