BEIJING EXPRESS. Alex and Sylvie form the hidden duo of episode 2 of Beijing Express. To avoid being spotted, they used several techniques in the M6 game.
[Mis à jour le 17 février 2022 à 23h30] Each year, the hidden duo of Beijing Express brings its share of twists and turns in the competition. The 2022 edition of the game M6 did not escape the rule. In order not to be spotted by the other candidates, and risk final elimination, Alex and Sylvie had to use several tricks in episode 2, at the TV programs February 17.
The game of hide and seek was not easy for Sylvie and Alex. Launched into a bazaar in Kyrgyzstan where all the other pairs were, they had to dress up and ask for help from people in the bazaar so as not to be spotted. The challenge was however taken up, thanks to a daring technique: they subsequently joined Bosko Jol Mosque with the help of two locals who served as their doubles. Enough to fool the other candidates and allow them to reach the destination serenely.
After the immunity stage won by Jérémy and Fanny, Alex and Sylvie from Beijing Express must succeed in the final race which takes them to Uzgen. To reach their destination, the hidden pair from the M6 game chained the cars, and even found themselves stuck between two pairs. They failed to be spotted, but fortunately neither Tarik and Ahmed, nor Axel and Jean-Claude, saw them. An episode certainly strong in strong emotions for the couple and the spectators!

During episode 1 of Beijing Express, several events awaited the candidates on an expedition to Kyrgyzstan. During the first, a blindfolded boat race, the Belgian brothers Lucas and Nicolas won the Pass Express: this one allows them, if they do not arrive last in a stage, to escape the final duel until episode 7. The other pairs do not know who is in possession of this advantage which can prove difficult for the sequel to the M6 game.
During the final duel, Alex and Sylvie, who arrived last in the stage because their driver had to stop because of a deflated tire, chose to challenge Etienne and Vanessa, a pair of strangers. While the ordeal (going to a bazaar, reproducing traditional noodles to perfection, and returning to the place of departure) was off to a good start for the couple. But successive and unlucky delays (a driver who got the wrong destination in particular) allowed Etienne and Vanessa to win the race. Alex and Sylvie, unlucky during this first stage, are eliminated. But the trailer for the next episode of Beijing Express makes revelations: Alex and Sylvie remain present in competition. They form the hidden pair, and will have to continue the adventure in Central Asia without being spotted by the other candidates. Fanciful costumes and games of hide-and-seek will certainly be on the agenda for the next episode, broadcast on February 17 on M6. Below, you can vote for your favorite duets from this Beijing Express debut.

What is the Express Pass?
In episode 1, viewers discovered a new rule that will shake up the competition: the express pass. This advantage will allow the pair who wins it this season (in the first episode) to avoid the final duel if they finish a stage being neither first nor last. The duo that benefits from it can play it until the seventh episode. Once used, the express pass can no longer be used by another pair and this advantage disappears from the competition.
