In the episode of The Power 2026 on May 12, everything changes at the doorstep of the final. While two players took the risk to buzz in and steal the power, Julien Tanti is ultimately eliminated from the game, and Jonathan is immediately accused of betraying him.
Beverly eliminates Julien and recovers her power
A shocking elimination at the doorstep of the final
For several days, tension has been rising in the villa. After agreeing to remain a Power Player for a second consecutive week with Jonathan as his accomplice, Julien played one of the riskiest missions of the season.
But with the introduction of the power steal, everything could collapse at any moment. This new rule allows a player to steal the power of the Power Player, and potentially their spot in the final, if they can also keep their own secret.
Beverly discreetly seizes the power
Two candidates then decided to take this immense risk: Damien and Beverly. Damien, despite being suspicious of Julien for several days, finally buzzes Laura. Beverly, on the other hand, ultimately decides to listen to her intuition and accuses Julien Tanti.
When the verdict is announced, there is shock in the villa: Julien is eliminated. Julien’s role as Power Player is revealed, as well as Jonathan’s role as his accomplice.
While the villa is still trying to understand what just happened, Beverly realizes that she has unmasked the Power Player and has recovered her power without raising any suspicion.
Jonathan at the heart of accusations after Julien’s elimination
Quickly, a theory emerges. For Julien, only one explanation seems possible: Jonathan would have revealed his secret to Laura, who would then have buzzed him to steal his power.
Enzo immediately shares this analysis. For him, Jonathan is ready to do anything to secure his spot in the final, even if it means betraying others.
Accusations then rain down on Jonathan, who finds himself completely isolated. However, he firmly denies betraying Julien. But the more he defends himself, the less others seem to believe him.
This situation deeply affects him. Since the beginning of the adventure, Jonathan and Julien formed an extremely solid strategic duo. For Jonathan, these unjust accusations motivate him even more to unmask the one behind this power steal and to seek vengeance for Julien.
Beverly becomes Power Player while the villa targets the wrong person
Beverly unsuspected and insusceptible
While all attention is focused on Jonathan, Beverly nearly plays the perfect game.
No one seems to imagine that she actually managed to unmask Julien alone. The majority of the players still believe that Laura is linked to this elimination. An ideal situation for Beverly, who begins her role as the new Power Player under the radar.
Who is Beverly’s accomplice?
But she also knows that at this stage of the game, every decision can be fatal. Jonathan, now obsessed with avenging Julien, promises to investigate until the end. For him, everyone becomes a suspect: Laura, Damien, Enzo, and even Beverly.
The choice of a future accomplice then becomes crucial. Beverly hesitates between several strategies. Should she choose a great strategist like Jonathan or Enzo at the risk of them turning against her? Or should she prioritize a trusted ally like Manon to secure her secret until the ceremony?
In this high-tension end of the adventure, even the smallest mistake could cost someone a spot in the final.
