Key details
On November 29, 2025, the latest episode of Star Academy featured emotional duets, unexpected nominations, and critical public votes that shaped the competition. Jeanne and Léo faced a dramatic turn when they were nominated following a weak evaluation from teachers and heartfelt critiques from their family members—the latter causing tension between the duo. Nevertheless, their powerful rendition of Jean-Louis Aubert's "Alter Ego" captivated audiences, earning them salvation by public vote despite mixed reactions among viewers. Meanwhile, Victor's duet with acclaimed Australian singer Tina Arena on "I Want to Spend My Lifetime Loving You" from "La Légende de Zorro" resonated deeply with the jury and viewers alike. Arena praised Victor and the production, highlighting the spectacular quality of the performance and teamwork. In a significant elimination, Théo was sent home while Lily was spared by the public. The next episode is scheduled for December 5, ahead of the Miss France pageant. This evening underlined the high stakes and emotional intensity that continue to define Star Academy's current season.
