there is competition, but it remains internal, simple as that
you rightfully gave the example of ya fifi and patou,but i will give you example of djino and menthé,menthé was destined to be the starter but djino worked extra hard and won,jb said it clearly in soyons serieux days
i think your disappointment with bcbg and especially some guy you clearly hate since you can't avoid talking about them makes you see everything dark in the group which is a bit too harsh
like shamala rightfully said the younger guys respect elders a lot but not only for the sake of respecting them for being older,the respect is also artistic
your favourite hate figures contribute a lot to them and they admit it themselves on tv
i think seeing too much of la zamba videos have influence of your way of seeing things,because there is competition in every single group except maybe quartier latin which has clearly been turned into a group of guys destined to being in the shadow at service of koffi and cindy(even though koffi seems like wanting to make efforts these days)
