Star Academy continued to intensify at the castle in Dammarie-les-Lys following the elimination of Morgan during the prime-time show on November 6, 2026, leaving thirteen contestants still in the competition. As the season progressed, the participants faced another critical evaluation phase, this time structured around three distinct color-coded teams designed to test their collaborative abilities and individual versatility. Following the group assessments broadcast during the daily show on November 11, 2026, the judges issued mixed verdicts, signaling that the stakes were rising significantly for the remaining students.

Among the competing groups, the Yellow team, comprising Brieuc, Félix, Kylian, and Ydriss, had already sparked controversy earlier in the week due to internal friction. However, the focus of the latest judgments shifted heavily toward Leeloo, a member of the Red team alongside Tracy, Noémie, and Amel. Following her group evaluation, Leeloo faced sharp criticism from the faculty, particularly regarding her choreography and vocal execution. Jonathan Jenvrin, the dance instructor, expressed clear disappointment, noting significant omissions in the choreography and stating that the dance group was the weakest overall. He pointed out specifically that Leeloo struggled to integrate the details, making the routine unrecognizable in parts. [1]
Vocal coach Sofia Morgavi also voiced her concerns regarding Leeloo’s performance. Morgavi remarked that Leeloo was slightly below expectations, warning her to pay closer attention to her technique. She noted that vocally, Leeloo was held back because she was acting too much, compromising her singing. These criticisms were shared by her colleagues, creating a difficult moment for the student as the pressures of the competition mounted. [1]
The repercussions of these evaluations determined the immediate future of the teams. While the Blue team, including Cameron, Maud, Mélina, Isabella, and the immune Zoé, secured immunity, the Red team and the Yellow team were left facing a high-stakes elimination battle. During the prime-time show on November 14, 2026, the public would have the power to save one of the two nominated teams. The losing team would face individual vocal battles, where members would sing solo to defend their places. The outcome would result in one contestant saved by the public, a second by the teachers, and a third by their peers, leading to the elimination of the final member. The event would feature special guests Grand Corps Malade, Hélène Ségara, Season 13 finalist Léa Doffey, and Belgian singer Iliona, who performed alongside contestants to encourage the students. [1]
