Since her departure from the head of the emblematic beauty contest Miss France, Sylvie Tellier remains an essential figure and an influential voice in the world of Misses. Invited this Wednesday, December 13 on the set of Buzz TV, she shared her strong opinion on the brand new general knowledge test imposed on the contenderswhich, it seems, would have been hardened. “The average is 10/20, and the best score is only 14. Isn’t it ultimately a disservice to the candidates to make this test tougher?”, asked the journalist. Referring to respect for the decisions in place, Sylvie Tellier replied: “You know, last year I said that when you leave something, you also have to respect what is put in place and refrain from making comments. This test, who did it, and what was its purpose? […]. Maybe it was toughened so that the level of the Misses would increase.”
Sylvie Tellier continues her reasoning, explaining the interest of the test she gave to the Misses when she was at the head of the competition. “At the time, I was doing it to potentially identify the gaps in each. […] It was a bit to understand their personality. There, you should ask the person who did the test the purpose of this test”, she explained. The former head of Miss also made reference to the introduction of a dictationnoting that this practice was not a first in the history of the competition. “To tell you the truth, I withdrew it because unfortunately, and the minister said it well, everyone’s level of general French drops a little”she quipped.
