Question Pour Un Champion or "QPUC" as it is often called in France, used to be a popular and entertaining game quiz show with excellent questions (reminiscent of Jeopardy in their difficulty), great energy and always interesting participants, All that was thanks to its host who not only created questions on daily basis for each episode but also infused the series with his life and soul - Julien Lepers. His disappointments at his guests mistakes were genuine and often dramatic (for instance, he'd throw the question cards in reticent frustration, or gently scorn the player when they get it wrong) Unfortunately, a feminist at the helm of France 3, Delphine Ernotte, decided that "white man over 50" (her words!) are not welcome anymore on French TV and she fired the beloved host and replaced him with a journalist who has the charisma of a stale french fry. Needless to say, she killed the show, and this can be easily verified by numerous posts by frustrated fans on French websites and forums. While Julien Lepers was the host, the show was a pure "10". It even spawned many local organizations all over the Francophone world, where they played their own versions of QPUC. Now, with the new host, the show is a zero. So, a generous six stars in reference to its once glorious past, but zero for its current, dead-on-arrival incarnation.
