Toulouse (14 November 2005)

Due to problems with the voting lines the results from the original top 14, in which the 10 finalists were supposed to be determinded, were voided and the four original eliminated contestans received a second chance in the following week which resulted in all of them making the cut while four original top 10 contestants were eliminated in the semifinals. In the end Christophe Willem triumphed over Dominique Michalon.
