Jo demonstrates peak fast fiction

Jo immediately begins running at full speed while writing, forcing an unfit Antoine to try to keep pace.

Upon reaching the finish line, he counts just nine words, and is reminded by Antoine that it should be ten.

His nine-word story is "Un homme coupe du beau bois et il meurt." ["A man cuts some nice wood and he dies."] When prompted by Antoine to continue writing, he runs a very short circuit and adds one word before recrossing the line.

His finished ten-word story is "Un homme coupe du beau bois sale et il meurt." ["A man cuts some nice dirty wood and he dies."]

In the studio, Antoine reveals that Jo took just 23 seconds to complete his story, including the rewrite.

Louis awards him third place, despite the fact that he was fastest to complete the task.
