Evaluations moved to earlier date
The evaluations for Star Academy have been moved to Monday, 2 November, a change from their usual Tuesday schedule. This shift is due to a new scheduling adjustment by TF1, which has moved the next prime to Friday, 6 November. Rugby match takes priority
The following day, TF1 will air a rugby match between France and Fiji as part of the Nations Championship. As a result, the Star Academy evaluations have been moved forward, giving the students one fewer day to prepare for their performances in front of the professors. Students asked to imagine winning
The students are being asked to imagine themselves as the next winner of Star Academy, a theme tied to the upcoming prime, which will be dedicated to the show's winners. This was explained by Mosimann, who stated that the evaluations will have a specific framework that the students need to respect in order to tell a meaningful story. Victory announcements provided
To help the students get into the mindset of a winner, Nikos Aliagas has recorded a victory announcement for each of them. The students are then asked to deliver a speech as if they had just won Star Academy, using the same emotion as Aliagas' recording. After the speech, the students will perform a song chosen from a list of titles, aiming to convey the energy and message they wish to communicate. Previous winners offer guidance
Marine, the winner of Star Academy 2025, will be present at the evaluations, offering her insight and experience. The top three students will then compete in the prime to try to gain immunity. Some mentors absent
Fanny Delaigue and Philippine Lavrey were not present on Sunday to assist with the preparations, leaving the students to manage without their guidance. Mosimann emphasized that the students are now fully responsible for their song choices, the tone of their performance, and their interpretation. "You are responsible for your choices," Mosimann concluded, "and this is when it really begins."
