A historic first in the show

The test in question seemed simple on paper: hold one arm in the air to support a bucket of water for as long as possible. What was supposed to be a test of endurance turned into an extraordinary display of will and determination.
From the start of the event, Emeline and Claire displayed extraordinary concentration and resistance. As their partners and competitors gave up one after the other, the two women remained unfazed. The hours passed, and neither Emeline nor Claire showed the slightest sign of weakness.
After more than three hours of continuous effort, an unprecedented event occurred. Stéphane Rotenberg, the emblematic host of the show, found himself in an unprecedented situation. Faced with the exceptional tenacity of the two competitors, he made the decision to interrupt the event and offer the reward to each of them.
