Luggage in hand and sporting a generous tan, candidates Philippe and Isaac appeared without fanfare at Montreal-Trudeau Airport around 8:45 p.m.
Those in the company of another candidate, Giana, and the two guards looked particularly heavy. Candidates quickly made their way to the exit without answering the questions Register.
During their stay with star host Jay du Coille, the two formed a trio with Felix, which sparked significant controversy.
Congestion
At the beginning of the season, two candidates – Jonathan and Tommy – had problems with some of the guys, especially the popular trio.
Jonathan left the show on his own accord, the guys singled him out and managed to get his beloved Clemens out of the girls house, a gesture Jonathan wanted to see leave.
Tommy, for his part, wanted to leave after his eventful arrival in the adventure that had already begun.
However, he changed his mind, but his photo ended up in that week’s exclusion envelope, so he finally had to back up.
Through these adventures, hundreds of internet users have condemned the bullying behavior of Philip, Isaac and Felix.
They also slammed the reaction of Productions J, which is producing “OD”, accusing it of tolerating the actions of its candidates.
Candidates are withdrawn
Faced with the scandal, Productions J announced various measures, including the interventions of writer India Desjardins and Stéphane Villeneuve, a professor at UQAM to prevent bullying.
The production, which apologized, unveiled a “complete makeover” of reality TV.
All the episodes of the series have been removed from the broadcaster’s site and it has been decided to remove the three candidates who are considered toxic from the screen till Thursday evening.
In the episode aired on Nuovo, there was no trace of Philip, Isaac and Felix.
In the uproar, a dozen sponsors withdrew their cards one after the other, including Couche-Tard, Guru, Lambert, Nail Creation, Oraki, Polysleep, Shop Santé, That’sso and Twenty Compass.
The Finstar Group offers winners the keys to one of its condos, and has dissociated itself from OD Martinique.
