Who will put their name on the “Dancing with the Stars” list? This Friday at 9:10 p.m., TF1 will broadcast the finale of season 15 of the show hosted by Camille Combal. Three personalities will compete for the title: YouTuber and host Juju Fitcats, comedian Samuel Bambi and singer Emma. 20 Minutes draws up their strengths and weaknesses before the time of the verdict.
Juju Fitcats, la favorite
Forces : The label of favorite sticks to Juju Fitcats’ skin. Combative and surprising, she panicked the score counters during the semi-final bonus last Friday. The 31-year-old YouTuber and host obtained 39 points out of 40 possible during her first performance (a freestyle) and 35 points on the improvised dance test (a cha-cha-cha) with Jordan Mouillerac. A dance partner who also represents a real asset in terms of the coronation, since he won the last season of “Dancing with the Stars”, in a duet with Lenie. Finally, the sportswoman Juju can count on the support of nearly 11 million subscribers on her networks.
Weaknesses: Radiant and charismatic, Juju Fitcats, who notably presented the second part of the evening of the show “Les Traitors” as well as that of “France has an incredible talent, it continues” on M6, showed that she could be overwhelmed by her emotions. Recognizing herself that it has not always been easy to have an athletic physique, the host will try to expand a list dominated by male candidates (ten victories for men, four for women). She will have to overcome the “good student” syndrome and maintain her naturalness to win in a final where she is the favorite.
Samuel Bambi, the revelation
Forces : He is the Joker of this season 15 of “DALS”. In the costume of the famous villain in BatmanSamuel Bambi made an impression during a waltz with his partner Ana Riera, dressed as Harley Quinn for the occasion. On the song You Don’t Own Me by Lesley Gore, the duo, who had to dance blindfolded for a few seconds, offered a real theatrical dimension to their performance. The comedian then gleaned the first two 10s of the season, thus giving him first place in the ranking at the end of this bonus. Beyond his performances, always highly anticipated and surprising, the one who made his first solo show in 2022 with Machine !cracked the armor of humor to share touching and moving moments with members of his family. Finally, and this constitutes a major advantage, Samuel Bambi, 32 years old, will be able to count on Ana Riera, who had already led another outsider, Adil Rami, to the final last year.
Weaknesses: Like the former OM and French team footballer, Samuel Bambi is very comfortable with humor, but not always easy to channel. The actor (Walter, The WinnersTHE Déguns 2), who appears to be complicit with Camille Combal and his adversaries in the competition, can become dispersed, even annoying. If he wants to go all the way, one of the candidates least known to the general public at the launch of the season – a lack of notoriety which could be detrimental to him – will have to control his emotions and demonstrate consistency. During the semi-finals of the show, Samuel Bambi held his own against Juju Fitcats during the first performance – a freestyle which earned him two 10s – before marking time in the improvised dance.
Emma, l’outsider
Forces : The breath of fresh air for this 2026 edition. Rather discreet during the first bonuses, obtaining scores between 7 and 8, Emma has made impressive progress, gaining in technique and presence on the TF1 floor. Comfortable in both contemporary and Latin dances, the 23-year-old young woman has established a wonderful bond with her partner, Dorian Rollin, who is one of the new dancers on this show. She particularly distinguished herself with performances full of emotion, but also knew how to put on a show during a performance in the world of Bollywood, on the tube Sapphireby Ed Sheeran. In addition to the novelty card she has with her partner, Emma will be able to count on her notoriety on the channel, which was revealed during the twelfth season of “Star Academy”.
Weaknesses: The “Star Ac” label, advantage or disadvantage… During the last season, it was Lenie, winner of the musical telecrochet, who won “DALS”. Repeated twice ? The one which was chosen by Matt Pokora – winner of season 1 in 2011 – to provide several opening parts of his “Adrenaline Tour” – appears a notch below these two rivals. This is evidenced by her performances during the semi-final where Emma narrowly qualified for the final. All that remains is to know who will be the personality most popular with the public…
