The 53-year-old singer and presenter, whose fun side, benevolence and empathy shaped spirits, will surely be missed by followers of the TVA show. It’s like we’ve discovered a new Nathalie, despite the fact that she’s been in the public spotlight since the early 1970s.
“I’m someone who is just happy, likes to laugh, has fun and is a clown,” she told QMI Agency.
Like her two other classmates who took part in the elimination challenge, Andréanne A. Malette and Jean Michel Leblond, Nathalie had to estimate the number of mice swarming in a box whose contents she could not see. Only his hands allowed him to count them, but since these little critters are on the move, it wasn’t an easy task.
There were a total of 68 mice in the box, yes, 68, but Nathalie didn’t trust herself enough, telling herself 45, her first number, was too high. His answer to hosts Alexandre Barrette and Jean-Philippe Dion was 15 rodents instead. Mistake. If she had gone for 45 Mice, she would not have been eliminated and it would rather have been Andréanne A. Malette returning to Quebec.
“I had hit 45 bucks, but it’s a lack of confidence, I said to myself, ‘This can’t be, this is a booby trap’. When I said that to production afterward and the girls screamed!”
Proud
Even though her stay was shorter than expected, Nathalie Simard is “very proud” of her trip. She says she “found the time” by eating oatmeal, rice, beans, and fish heads in addition to the challenges. “I learned that I still have a lot of courage. It’s like life has challenged me and I know I’m capable of going all the way.”
Since the campers live under difficult conditions, in the middle of the jungle and with a (very) alkaline diet, they quickly stick together. That’s why Nathalie listened carefully and went into listening mode when her comrades had to ventilate.
Shortly after arriving in Costa Rica, she collapsed, a moment that allowed her to eliminate the villain to better continue this “incredible human adventure”. “It didn’t stop, I was in a lot of pain. I decided to open up to campers, I was afraid of public comment, but I broke that, I was welcomed and then I was able to dive into reality TV,” she said.
Nathalie Simard, godmother of the Maison la Grande Ourse Montérégie, the first treatment center for women victims of sex crimes – she is hosting a conference in songs on April 1st and 2nd in aid of this organization – says “Get me out of here !” is the most-watched program on Quebec TV, especially as it promotes human values such as altruism, courage and self-control. “We don’t like backstabbing to take someone out!”
As a side note, note the “The Star of Hell” challenge, in which Livia Martin showed extraordinary composure by measuring herself, without being able to move, against crabs, earthworms, thousands of legs, caterpillars, cockroaches and rats. It must have been screaming in the huts.
At the very end of this fourth episode, we also learned that a new camper will join the adventure without saying more. story follows.
The reality show “Get me out of here!” produced by Productions Déferlantes in collaboration with Quebecor Content will air at 6:30 p.m. on TVA, just before “La Voix”.
“Get Me Out of Here… But Not Right Now”
Nathalie Simard and Marianne St-Gelais have just returned from Costa Rica, where they returned in February to visit the land of Pura Vida, a journey that follows in the new show “Sortez-moi d’ici…”. can be…but not immediately” on Evasion.
The two friends will introduce this great country to subscribers to the special channel, and they will be joined by four campers – whose identities we do not yet know. “There are surprises, we make visits, we make other challenges. This time we were not in the jungle, but in “resorts”. It’s a country you should see at least once in your life!” said Nathalie Simard.
The 10 episodes of Get Me Out of Here… But Not Right Now will air on Évasion beginning Monday, May 15 at 8 p.m.
