Spectators present in the audience during the battles of season 10 of The Voice which began last Saturday March 27, 2021 in the midst of a pandemic? This is quite normal, explained the production of the show at TV-Leisure Friday April 3, 2021. If the productions had to adapt one by one to the Covid-19 epidemic so that the favorite shows of the French can continue to be broadcast, at first glance, The Voice seems to have escaped the rule for his battles which oppose two talents from each team on Saturday night since March 27, 2021. “This stage of the tele-hook,” more spectacular “than the blind auditions would have really suffered from a total absence of the public”, said a representative of ITV Studios France to our colleagues. Indeed, during the blind auditions, there was no audience for the program presented by Nikos Aliagas: “In blind auditions, there is this somewhat intimate side that we have more with battles “, justifies the production.
More flexible sanitary conditions at the time of filming
But what allowed The Voice to have an audience for his battles is that the filming of tele-hook season 10 was made in mid-December 2020 and, at that time, sanitary conditions were much more flexible in France. This allowed the production to call on about fifty fans to attend the battles. “Everyone was masked, at a minimum distance of one meter and with a temperature measurement before entering the plateau and hydroalcoholic gel made available to them upon their arrival.”, Clarified the production. Season 22 of Koh Lanta, whose broadcasting started on Friday March 12, 21, had for its part tested and isolated each candidate and member of the shoot before the adventure in Polynesia as explained by Alexia Laroche-Joubert to Parisian, deploring an additional cost of “300,000 to 400,000 euros”.
