M6 launched season 17 of
L'Amour est dans le pré on
Monday evening .
During the first evening, the public was able to see the speed dating of Jean, Noémie and Sébastien.
An overview was given of what awaits Thierry who is coming to try his luck for the second time after his participation in 2015...
And here we go for a seventeenth season of
Love is in the meadow
!
The host Karine Le Marchand gave Monday evening on M6 the kickoff of a new batch of rural love stories, recalling its effectiveness: since its creation, the program has come to the aid of 186 single people, half of whom are now in a relationship.
Couples who gave birth to 66 babies.
The enterprise of repopulating the countryside was not going to stop there.
This year, thirteen new hearts to take - nine men and four women, hope to find their soul mate or brother.
Jean and the look-alike of Annie Cordy
This is the case of Jean who, since the shooting of the portrait, has had his teeth redone, because “it looks a little better”.
The 58-year-old Auvergno-Rhonalpin, a cow breeder for thirty years, approaches meetings with his suitors without looking for love at first sight.
“It would be certain death.
I prefer a crush ”, jokes this father of three children, single for two years.
He first met Corinne who, in her letter, described herself as “brave, loving, tactile and without any taboos”.
Coming from Nancy, she offered Jean one of the city's specialities: bergamot.
Looking at the sachet, he wondered if it was appropriate for his new teeth.
“It sucks”, answered him tit for tat the woman with fourteen years of celibacy.
The delicious ribaldness did not fly.
It was then the turn of Laurence, who also had two divorces and takes care of children and the elderly.
The current went well and, in addition, Jean found her "prettier in real life than in the photo".
She was therefore invited to the next stage, the stay at the farm.
He also chose Nathalie, a 55-year-old cleaner who he found looked like Annie Cordy.
“I am told that I look like Nicole Croisille,” she added, compared to her short blond hair.
Ready to be a woman with him?
Noémie and the size of her love
Noémie, 25, raises cows in the Jura.
Single for four years, she is a bruised heart: she has been deceived in all her relationships.
A common point with his first suitor, Romain, 29, from Hauts-de-France and who after three years of living together separated from his companion on the basis of adultery.
He said he was "ready to make any concessions to start from scratch" and to "be a dad within 12 months".
A little too rushed and pressing?
No, Noémie wants to have children in the short term, it's one of her decision criteria.
The problem: its size.
“He is small”, noted the Jurassic woman while apologizing for “being difficult”.
The next contender, Maxime, was "the right size", but the current did not pass.
It went better with Guillaume, 24, son of farmers, but there, it was the maturity that was a concern.
"I feel like I'm going to have to wear it," dreaded Noémie.
With Gaël, a tall paramedic, the tete-a-tete began coldly.
He was not very smiling, his answers were laconic, and he did not seem very fond of Stade Toulousain unlike the farmer.
After reading the letters, he was nevertheless the darling of the latter, convinced that she had even more to share with him than their passion for rugby.
The discussion ended up calming down.
Afterwards, facing the camera, Gaël confided to being "modest" but that inside him, it was "pump it up, champagne and fireworks".
On our sofa, we said to ourselves that he must be formidable at poker to show no emotion.
“That's the kind of character I need.
I have a strong character, I know what I want and what I don't want, ”debriefed Noémie on her side.
Sébastien, the emotional handsome kid
Sébastien, to whom the public seems to have awarded the unofficial title of "beautiful kid" of the season, came to look for the one who could share his life in Corsica where, at 35, he raises pigs.
The speed dating stage has proven its gruff or dark air.
Faced with his suitors, we felt him in his little shoes, shy, his deep voice usually oscillating between the quavering intonations and the high pitches of a teenager in full moult.
It must be said that the young women who came to the meeting showered him with compliments and flattery.
"You're rather beautiful," launched Léa, a 27-year-old Alsatian, with a certain mastery of understatement as she devoured him with her eyes.
She described herself as shy and endowed with a "pig nature" and a good sense of humor.
It is this last point which seems to have particularly appealed to Corsica in search of “authentic” profiles.
Léa was chosen for the stay at the farm.
The other lucky winner is Perrine.
"A very pretty woman, totally my style", "as pretty in real life as on video", according to Sébastien.
She revealed to him that she had already gone to Google Maps to fly over the village where he lives.
Sebastien didn't seem to find this too disturbing.
He explained to her his conception of love: “What I love is how my grandmother talks about my grandfather.
He disappeared thirty years ago, it's still the same love.
Perrine didn't seem to find it too disturbing.
The unmade bed strategy
The first one-to-one meetings have barely begun when
Love is in the meadow
has offered to follow - already - a stay on the farm.
Direction to Jean, in the Rhône, where Laurence arrived first.
Jean told him that he didn't make the beds: “I thought we would make them together, to talk”.
We retain the tactic of passing off laziness for romanticism.
Although the effectiveness of the scheme remains to be proven.
Laurence, who grabbed the mattress cover without complaining, was not fooled: "I rather think he doesn't really know how to make a bed," she said once alone in front of the camera.
The cohabitation did not start off on the wrong foot, however.
“He looks attentive, I feel good in the house,” reacted the contender, believing that “the current was going well.
"She seems really interested in cooking."
She takes things in hand, it gives confidence, ”said Jean.
Will harmony still be in order when Nathalie has joined the farm?
We will find out in a future episode.
“Naughty fate!
»
The evening ended in suspense with the return of Thierry, 65, who had already tried to find his other half in the show in season 10, in 2015. But he had mainly known the disillusionment with the sexy Annick .
This means nothing to you ?
And if someone says to you: “Coquin de fate!
“Thierry's gimmick, which we must have heard half a dozen times this Monday, has great drinking game potential: at each occurrence, bottoms up!
(Alcohol abuse is dangerous for your health, be sure to consume in moderation).
We can only advise Thierry too much to register his signature phrase as a brand and to release a range of derived products from it.
But hay of capitalistic ambitions, let us return to the ground of the cows, or rather the vines of the bachelor in Paca.
The sexagenarian has learned the lesson of his first participation and this time he asked to read the letters without seeing the photos.
Will the strategy be the right one?
Is the woman of his life one of the “seven very different women” he is about to meet?
Patience, next Monday, we will see if the fate is indeed naughty.
