In the May 12th episode of The Power 2026, everything changes at the doorstep of the finale. 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 Regains her Power
An elimination shock at the brink of the finale
For days, tension has been on the rise in the villa. After agreeing to remain Power Player for a second consecutive week with Jonathan as his accomplice, Julien embarked on one of the riskiest missions of the season.
But with the introduction of the power theft, everything could crumble at any moment. This new rule allows a player to steal the Power Player’s power, and their potential spot in the finale, if they can also keep their own secret.
Beverly Quietly Seizes the Power
Two candidates then decided to take this immense risk: Damien and Beverly. Damien, despite his suspicion towards Julien for several days, ends up buzzing Laura. Beverly, on the other hand, finally decides to trust her intuition and accuse Julien Tanti.
When the verdict is announced, shock courses through 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 make sense of what just happened, Beverly realizes she has unmasked the Power Player and regained her power without raising any suspicion.
Jonathan at the Center of Accusations after Julien’s Elimination
Quickly, a theory takes hold in everyone’s minds. For Julien, only one explanation seems plausible: Jonathan would have revealed his secret to Laura, who then buzzed him to steal his power.
Enzo immediately shares this analysis. For him, Jonathan is willing to do anything to secure his spot in the finale, 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 only further motivate him to unmask the one behind the power theft in order to avenge Julien.
Beverly Becomes Power Player while the Villa Misidentifies the Culprit
Beverly, unsuspected and insusceptible
While all attention is focused on Jonathan, Beverly implements almost the perfect plan.
No one seems to imagine that she actually managed to unmask Julien alone. The majority of Players still believe Laura is involved in 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 could be fatal. Jonathan, now fixated on 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 becomes crucial. Beverly hesitates between several strategies. Should she choose a master strategist like Jonathan or Enzo at the risk of them turning against her? Or should she favor a trusted ally like Manon to secure her secret until the climax?
In this tense ending to the adventure, the slightest mistake could now cost a spot in the finale.
