Could Elise Lucet have traded her investigator clothes for the animation of one of the most popular French game shows? This is the question that viewers asked themselves on Tuesday evening.
Surprise ! Elise Lucet appeared Tuesday evening in prime time on France 2, on the set of the famous game “Questions for a champion” presented for several years by Samuel Stephen. What to lose his Latin and his remote control. It’s actually for the purposes of the latest issue of “Cash Inquiry” that the journalist borrowed the decor and the codes of the game from her colleague.
Credits, sheets and decor, Elise Lucet invests cash on the TV game set
For his Tuesday night show, Elise Lucet and his team had indeed investigated the common agricultural policy (CAP). “Agriculture, where have the billions of Europe gone”, which brought together 1.97 million viewerstherefore started on the set of “Question for a champion”, with Elise Lucet in the role of Samuel Etienne and her team in place of the participants. All the ingredients were there to make it look like a real quiz show: credits, cards, voice-over, questionseven if the latter were more oriented on the subject of the evening, that is to say the billions generated by agriculture. “Tonight, ‘Questions for a champion’ reveals who are the biggest beneficiaries of the PAC” started the usual voice-over of the France 3 broadcast. From then on, Elise Lucet attacked on the presentation of the candidates, and on the first questions of the first round, “Nine points winners” well known to regulars on the program. “Question number one. Who is the first metropolitan beneficiary of the CAP?“The four reporters then offered answers,”A farmer who produces grain?“proposed the first, without success. “A breeder ?” suggested the second, scoring no points. “It’s Cerafel!“found the third to the satisfaction of the journalist-presenter”And yes, congratulations Grégoire, hats off!” Elise Lucet then expanded the answer “It is the largest fruit and vegetable cooperative in France. You probably know the Prince de Bretagne brand of cauliflowers, well it’s them, it’s Cerafel and it’s therefore the big winner of the PAC. In 2019, imagine, they received more than 19 million euros.“
Elise Lucet’s teaching method to understand a complex subject
What could be more educational than using the game to expose viewers to such complex subjects than the common agricultural policy? “Question number two” chained Elise Lucet “Another big winner of the PAC… What is the name of this champagne house founded in Reims… on March 1, 1827?“. Immediately, one of the competitors started “GH Mumm“, under the bravos of the journalist “Congratulations Véronique for your speed. GH Mumm belongs to the Pernod Ricard group, the world number two in wines and spirits. GH Mumm received almost three million euros in CAP subsidies in 2019.” A teaching method visibly paying off for Elise Lucet, whose show on Tuesday evening was able to mobilize 9.6% of the French public. Soon a next round?
