Eva Ducci (The Battle of Couples 3): "Off cameras, Vivian did not calculate me at all"

For several weeks now, the duos of The Battle of Couples have been fighting to climb each "pillar of love" and try to win this season 3. Among them are Vivian Grimigni and Eva Ducci . Eliminated first, the couple returned to the adventure following the abandonment of Léana and Abou . Often lagging behind in the events, the pair is regularly on the bench of nominees. Nevertheless, they cling. We wanted to know more with Eva.

"Every day was a test"

Télé-Loisirs : How do you explain your background?

Eva Ducci : I don't even know myself! It was super complicated. Every day was a test. I thought I was going to crack but I held on. I stayed for Vivian.

Is the editing of the show faithful to what you experienced?

Yes, it's exactly the same. But a lot of things were happening off. For example, we were very close to Maxime and Valeria , but that doesn't show on screen. This is also why we did not vote against them but against Nadège and Stefano . Off cameras, Vivian did not calculate me at all. Inevitably, I arrived in tests a little nervous.

What was the most difficult for you?

It wasn't even the hardships, but my couple. I didn't have the support of my buddy, of the person I was closest to. For me, it was my family, I referred to him. I felt like I was all alone. Luckily the other couples were there. For me, it was not a competition. So much the better if we lost. I wouldn't have been angry with people for eliminating us. Outside of filming, they were so there for me.

What was your strategy to win The Battle ?

Basically, we wanted to play the beasts. People no one cares about. And it worked. Vivian was doing so much nonsense that no one took us seriously. Even I didn't understand anything he was doing.

"It hurt me like never before"

What did you learn about yourself from the show?

Already I absolutely had to lose weight. I couldn't run, I had no stamina. I also learned to channel myself. Getting angry doesn't change anything. By getting upset and pulling his head off, I mostly hurt myself, as I tried to get his attention and show him that it was wrong. I could have juggled maracas next to him, it wouldn't have made a difference. It hurt me like never before. I hoped, I stayed. Now I would decide to leave directly.

You are separated today . Where are your reports today?

We don't talk to each other at all. I never want to have anything to do with that person again. I saw that he said it was also his fault. It's a bit too late after saying all these horrors about me. I don't really care what he says.

Emotionally speaking, where are you?

I am single. For the moment, I don't mind.

Head full of projects

What are your projects today?

I have a big artistic project that I can't talk too much about that is coming to fruition. It is something that makes me vibrate and that I have been waiting for a long time. I am also thinking of launching my cosmetics brand. Every day, I receive messages asking me where I buy my products. These are things I've had since I was little. I can't give the reference because it no longer exists. I want to make these products again, with glitter.

Do you receive a lot of solicitations on social networks?

Yes ! Since The Villa of Broken Hearts , it hasn't stopped.

Do you want to participate in other reality TV programs?

Yes, I'm tempted to start again on good things. I would like to cross the Marseillais vs. the rest of the world . But also The Apprentice Adventurers if it still exists, to surpass myself and prove to myself that I can do it. Especially since I'm fully into the sport now. I do it four times a week.

You have lost a lot of weight...

Yes, I lost 10 kilos, over several months. I didn't particularly restrict myself, but I'm careful.
