For the start of season 2 of The Traitors, M6 managed to attract 1.85 million viewers, i.e. 10.1% of the public and 26.0% of the FRDA-50, a target on which Nicolas de Tavernost has established itself as a leader, according to data collected by Médiamétrie. For the second episode broadcast the same evening from 10:15 p.m., 1.74 million viewers, which represents 11.8% of the public and 27.0% of “French women responsible for purchases under 50” attended the eviction comedian Kheiron and the elimination of influencer Tibo InShape.

However, the presence of the politician Jean Lassalle in Les Traitors did not fail to offer its share of unusual moments from the first episode this Wednesday, July 12 on M6.

Laughter from the first episode… While returning from an event with other competitors, the former presidential candidate took advantage of the trip to take a nap. He fell asleep in an uncomfortable posture, leaning on the shoulder of actress Charlotte de Turckheim who was driving the vehicle. “Did you imagine for a moment in your life driving a super nice 4×4 with personalities and especially a politician sleeping on your elbow?”, laughed the chef Norbert Tarayre who was a passenger alongside singer Natasha St-Pier, Olympic medalist Laura Flessel and adventurer Claude Dartois.

It was only a few seconds later that the former presidential candidate woke up from his sleep. He explains that he had “a tendency to fall asleep”. “I’m exhausted. I take a nap almost every afternoon,” he confessed on the show. “When we have an activity, we are obliged to drop the tension and find the nervous impulse”, added the politician for TV Magazine.
