Mehdi attempts to invent a new word

Mehdi runs and writes, taking a winding route between the start and finish lines.

Counting the words in his first draught, he discovers it is three words too long, and has to revise it.

However, his final story is "Le chien a aussi peur de moi que moi de lui." ["The dog is as terrified of me as I am of him."], which is still eleven words long.

He tries to salvage it by changing 'de lui' to the non-existent contraction 'dlui', claiming that to be very popular word where he is from.

In the studio, Antoine reveals that Mehdi took 1 minute 25 seconds to complete his story.

Louis decides to disqualify him because of the word count.
