Playing the b*tch is iconic, after all.
On the fringes of the red carpet at the 47th ADISQ Awards, HollywoodPQ had the chance to sit down with Marie-Mai to talk about two exciting projects she recently took part in: her television adventures on Quel Talent! and Big Brother: Le piège.

Did you see something? Discretion assured.
On November 9, 2025, the big celebration of the best in Quebec music took place. Marie-Mai was in the running for “Artist of the Year”, a Félix that ultimately went to Lou-Adriane Cassidy, the true breakout star of the year!
Her Appearance on Quel Talent!
As she walked toward the Wilfrid-Pelletier Hall at Place des Arts, wearing an elegant red velvet gown and beaming, Marie-Mai paused for a moment to share a word about the show’s second season of Quel Talent!, where she serves as a judge alongside Rachid Badouri, Serge Denoncourt, and Anne Dorval:
“What an experience it is to see all these talents, whether it’s in comedy, music, or theater… It’s a privilege.”
Marie-Mai also mentioned her soft spot for Jerry, a character as awkward as he is endearing, played by Maxime Poulin, “who delivered a number that went totally viral.” And it goes without saying that the singer was right, because, thanks to his sarcastic humor and his knack with a bike, he was crowned the grand winner of Quel Talent! during the finale held on November 10 on Noovo.
The Bluff Queen in Big Brother: Le piège
The Quebec pop star also told us she loved playing the role of the “b*tch” on the reality show Big Brother: Le piège, which she hosts.
Beyond donning outfits even more flamboyant than those on Big Brother Célébrités, she plays diva with the crew and complains when fake glitches force her to restart her segments.
“To play the b*tch is iconic after all,” Marie-Mai says with a laugh.
The aim: to pull audiences into the innovative concept of this new show, which is really the biggest “prank” in the history of Quebec television. We meet Jacob, the “piégé” who believes he’s taking part in the first season of Quebec’s Big Brother. The catch is that the eleven other contestants, with whom he will live for nearly a month, are all professional improv comedians. They follow a carefully scripted plan to make Jacob’s stay wild and surprising.
The seven episodes of Big Brother: Le piège are available on the Crave platform!
A big thank you to Marie-Mai for this privileged moment! We wish her continued success and for her to keep shining, both on television and on stage.
