What salary for Miss 'under contract' for the election?

After months of waiting, the count is finally over for the twenty-nine regional Misses. It's tonight that they all go up on the scene du Zenith de Caen and are trying to win the sublime crown of Miss France 2022. But something new has changed the rules of the competition this year! The new committee chair Alexia Laroche-Joubert assured that the candidates would have an employment contract and that they would thus be remunerated.

The producer provided some details in The Parisian indicating that this contract was valid only for the ceremony and not during the weeks of preparation: ' During the preparation preceding the broadcast, they are still masters of the game. On the other hand, everything that is necessary for the issue, i.e. performances on the day of the live and rehearsals, is part of the contract'.

Regarding their salary, Alexia Laroche-Joubert said that their ' remuneration is not that of a senior executive'. ' And if they came just to make money, let them go their way , it would not be faithful to the state of mind of the competition, nor to the values ​​that they must advocate “, she added. Things are clear…

How well do you know your favourite?

Jean-Pierre Foucault does not support Miss Provence

It is an integral part of Miss France traditions. At the controls of the presentation since nineteen ninety five , Jean-Pierre Foucault intends to keep its place warm for a few more years. No question of abandoning the show anytime soon for the 74-year-old host. ' I don't think about it and as soon as I don't ask myself the question, I don't see why the others would ask it in my place'. he said on the set of  Buzz TV of TV Magazine , specifying: ' That depends a bit on me, the Miss France society and TF1 . There are three of us and so far so good!'

This contest regular has also implemented a new strategy to support his favorite candidate. For the first time, the native of Marseille did not show his support for Provence, represented by Eva Navarro... And this for a good cause! ' For 25 years, I say support Miss Provence and she was never elected , So I think she has a chance this year! ' , he enthused.

Strategy pays off, since the beauty queen is currently in the running to be part of the Top 15 according to the latest polls...

The candidates passed the pre-selection test

D-3 before the Miss France 2022 ceremony. But before finally shining on stage on Saturday evening, the young beauty queens must still pass the pre-selection stage . This Wednesday, December 8, all will one by one present themselves to a jury tenu secret composed of members of the Miss France society, artistic director, choreographer, or members of the production. The candidates will then have to hold a long oral and answer various questions to test their speaking skills. ' During this pre-selection, we submit to the members of the jury the score of the general knowledge test, their behavior for 1 month, their spirit of camaraderie, their fair play and then the young women answer questions', detailed Sylvie Tellier for Tele-Leisure.

Each juror therefore has very specific criteria in order to establish his Top 15 potential Miss finalists. ' Above all, we are in a contest of beauty, elegance, eloquence, personality. It's a very personal judgment. As far as I'm concerned, a young woman who does not have the average in the general knowledge test is not in my finalists', continued the executive director of the committee.

The results of this preselection, which immediately qualify fifteen regional Misses , will be announced directly during the evening of December 11.

Have you already made your predictions and chosen which young woman will succeed Amandine Petit?

The regional committee revealed the reasons for its absence on Facebook on November 29: 'As for the question of our participation in Miss France next December, for those who do not know, our region is still in rotation with the region of Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon every other year'.

Unfortunately for the island of Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon, she will not be present either at the Zénith de Caen on December 11, lack of contenders during the organization of the regional selection...

Which regions have had the most wins?

Only a few days left before the ceremony for the Misses! But which region will walk away with the title this year?

After all, nothing is decided yet... Some regions ( Limousin, Auvergne , Champagne-Ardenne, Martinique , Mayotte , Saint Pierre and Miquelon , and Saint-Martin-Saint-Barthélemy ) have never had the experience of seeing their candidate wear the precious scarf since the creation of the competition in 1920.

Rather surprised by her score, the pretty brunette passionate about the high jump confided her first reactions to the Parisian . ' I did not expect to be first but I had worked to succeed for sure. But it's also a bit of a coincidence. I had worked a lot, in particular by practicing with the annals of previous editions. But I did not go back more than two or three years because it was useless, since it is a lot of topical questions “, launched Youssra Askry, who now intends to do a double by succeeding Amandine Small , Miss Normandy before her.

In third place is Miss Pays de la Loire, Line Carvalho, who wants to become an airline pilot, with an honorable 15/20 . The twenty-nine young women almost all obtained the average in the quiz. ' The level of the girls was exceptional this year! ', got excited Sylvie Tellier, the general manager of the company, who had warned that ' being first in this test was an asset' but did not mean that the candidate would necessarily be 'elected Miss France '. To know the identity of the one who will win the crown, go to December 11 at the Zénith de Caen (or in front of your television).

The 29 candidates punished by Sylvie Tellier

If this year the mobile phone was allowed during the stay in Reunion so that the candidates could share content on Instagram, some of them would not have respected the rules...' They are asked to not to take a picture of one of their comrades for reasons of fairness and not to reveal anything about the excursions, whether it is the place or the styling , so as not to spoil the content of the prime time of the ceremony. They also don't keep their device at the table to get to know each other ', detailed the producer Frédéric Gilbert. But here it is: some of the participants would have broken the rules by publishing photos or videos of the preparation not authorized by the organization. The heavy penalty has therefore fallen for the Misses: they will not have no longer allowed to use their smartphones until further notice according to information from TVMag .

Sylvie Tellier gives 'a framework' to the Misses

' We don't want to infantilize them so we give them a framework . Afterwards, we cannot do it on a case-by-case basis so they can no longer take photos when doing makeup and hairdressing or by the pool. They only use it for personal purposes. ', supported Sylvie Tellier, the company's general manager. The one who was elected Miss France 2002 wishes above all to retransmit the extraordinary human adventure that she has known to young women, without them being parasitized by the screens. ' Today, the telephone is an extension of our hand, it's societal . However, each year the candidates are warned by saying: 'V You are going to have an experience that no one can afford, if you live it through your phone, you will miss out on your adventure', she asserted.
Decidedly, Instagram will have made its own …

A Miss is unwell in Reunion

Far from being on vacation, the regional misses respect a timed schedule from the early morning in order to accomplish all the activities planned each day. This Saturday, November 20, after waking up to seven hours, candidates visited local fishermen . Right before the meeting, they first popped into an air-conditioned restaurant for a hair touch-up... That's where Miss Tahiti 2021, Tumateata Buisson, felt unwell according to information from the Parisian . The 24-year-old lost consciousness for a few seconds due to fatigue and jet lag ( 2 p.m. between Tahiti and Reunion ). The team and candidates rushed to help him.

But, in reality, we never stop, we get up at dawn and we are only in swimsuits for photo shoots exclaimed other participants. An adventure like no other on the intense island!

Candidates too retouched on Instagram?

The first official photos of the Misses caused a stir. The cause? Many netizens were shocked by the non-resemblance Instagram photos posted by young women and the photos of the competition, not retouched. Enough to disappoint some fans who had already spotted their favorites via social networks … On this subject, Sylvie Tellier declared to the Parisian : 'We are in a society of images that are more and more with social networks, everyone takes selfies, like … And this generation of young women has this photo retouching reflex much easier. Me the first, I use the filters of Instagram, I find that very well, but it is necessary to make the difference between photos of the social networks and ours. 'Despite this intergenerational concern, alterations are always prohibited for the general manager of the Miss France society.' With us, there is always a notion of exemplarity, and we do not want to retouch the photos, apart from a bit of the chroma of a sky or the sea to make them bluer. If we get into the gears, why retouch one and not another?' , she added.

Amandine Petit warns against retouching

An opinion shared by Amandine Petit, crowned almost a year ago. Miss France 2021 would also have taken advantage of her speech to the candidates to reframe the misuse of filters and retouching: ' Ladies, watch out, you are in the Miss France contest, not in the Instagram contest! So you forget your applications, because you are in reality. By retouching too much, you risk generating disappointing reactions when you arrive in the Miss France adventure. That is what is said!

The crown is part of Miss France traditions. For this election, it is Mauboussin who created a unique model made of 'diamonds, amethysts and tourmalines' , as specified by the miss_franceoff fan account.

Sylvie Tellier believes that 'certain traditions should not be broken'

While the preparatory trip is in full swing for the candidates of the class of 2022, too strict criteria of the competition (physical criteria, no children, age...) are increasingly singled out. Sylvie Tellier, the organization's chief executive, responded to the criticism in an interview for Gala . And the one who was elected Miss France 2002 does not intend to change anytime soon the protocol established a hundred years ago... ' There are rules , as there can be in sport. But everyone can watch, and experience through them what they experience. The contest is framed, but not closed! “said the chaperone of beauty queens. “Few institutions are both so old and so rooted in modernity. We refer to territorial values, and the French are attached to their territories . I like traditions. Miss France is part of the traditions, and some traditions should not be broken', she then estimated. Not sure it's to everyone's taste...

Why irony is forbidden

The Misses, private irony? This was among other things reproached by Dare Feminism to the Miss France organization. In the rather strict rules of the competition , it is indeed forbidden for beauty queens to have a child, tattoos, to have had recourse to cosmetic surgery and... to be ironic .
As so aptly described Philosophy Magazine , it is not a question of humor, which some candidates sometimes allow themselves, but rather because of the irony, which ' works by mocking antiphrases ', that the Miss France company does not endorse. But for what reasons is irony banned from the election, one hundred years after its creation?
'Practicing irony is make a contradiction appear in the other, and therefore push him to question himself, that is to say to seek out what is behind a superficial image', analyse Philosophy Magazine . There is therefore no question of breaking the already well-established pattern of 'first degree' of the contest, even if today the organization claims a much more modern and feminist image of the Miss. Irony and beauty definitely don't mix...

The Misses will be entitled to an employment contract

The time is truly for change at Miss France. At the press conference that took place on November 17, the new company president Alexia Laroche-Joubert let it be known that the candidates would now be paid . ' Since my appointment as president of the Miss France society, we have worked with the teams on the editorial line of the show and the production conditions. This has artistic, technical and legal consequences. This is why this year, the 29 misses who will parade on the evening of December 11 on the TF1 antenna will have employment contracts ' . reported The 20 Minutes . This statement echoes the association's accusations Dare Feminism, who claimed that the organization violated the right of work .

Jean-Pierre Pernaut's message to the Misses

Jean-Pierre Pernaut , former flagship presenter of 13h de TF1 , held to send a touching message to beauty queens! A little attention that did not fail to touch Sylvie Tellier, Miss France 2021 and all the young women present.

The theme of the ceremony revealed to the JT

' When candidates are asked to do not smoke or drink alcohol in public , it is because they are often filmed and there are an Evin law problem . I'm not going to have fun blurring all the images. When we say: no child, there is a reason. The miss who is going to be elected will travel all over France to meet the French, it requires significant availability', she detailed.

Alexia Laroche-Joubert still reassured about the holding of the future ceremony next December. ' We move forward calmly . It is only a request for study before the industrial tribunal. There was no call “, she affirmed.
