Television: Frustration over zero-star menu in the RTL jungle

Jungle campers Sarah Knappik and Elena Miras did not get a single star in a joint test in the RTL summer show. “It’s a real shame that we got zero stars. Because the others will have to go hungry now,” said reality star Miras (“Celebrities under Palm Trees”) after the failure.

She and her colleague Knappik (“Germany’s Next Top Mode”) were given educational questions and brain teasers while they were immersed in tubs of fish waste and other entrails on a giant seesaw. Even if they got an answer right, they failed to throw the star.

In the episode of “I’m a Celebrity – Showdown of the Jungle Legends” released on RTL+, Knappik was unable to spell the word “Africa” ​​backwards in the midst of the stressful situation, and Elena did not have three characters from “The Lion King” ready. When asked about four African countries, Elena could only think of “Mambia” besides Tanzania, which cannot be found on any map.

Separation anxiety

She also couldn’t remember the continent on which the pyramids of Giza stand, as she kept disappearing into the tub of cold, disgusting water. One reason for the defeat: the friends were afraid that one of them would be eliminated in a knockout procedure. But that didn’t happen, as they only found out after the test.

The other campers took the zero round in their stride – they were left with rice and bland beans. Mola Adebisi wanted to keep losing weight anyway, as he said comfortingly. The stars and starlets had already had to struggle with a gastronomic crisis.

A few hours earlier, Giulia Siegel had cooked a very puny guinea fowl for the camp – which she had won in the last test – but had added lemon for lack of spices. She had smuggled salt and herbs into the camp at the start of the relay, but then had to hand them back in again.

Gigi wants a baby

The lemon turned out to be a failed experiment. And at the same time the kale fell into the sand, the seeds got caught everywhere. The only one who obviously didn’t throw up or complain was the stoic ex-footballer Thorsten Legat: “The food tasted very good,” he said, probably convincing himself a little. Giulia Siegel said somewhat contritely: “I messed up the food with a good heart.”

Gigi Birofio (“Celebrity Separated”) was suffering from a life crisis: “I was such a motherfucker before I came in here. And now I’m just a fucker. You think too much in here.” His assessment at 25: “There was a time in my life when I didn’t give a shit about anything. (…) I was gross. (…) I’m really sorry about that. I’m going to be alone.”

His solution to his self-esteem problem: “I’m going to be a father.” Everyone around him immediately tries to talk Gigi out of it. “Wait another two years,” Siegel advised him. Otherwise the child will grow up with its single mother.

Dead animals and toxic relationships

What else was going on? Kader Loth wanted to scare Sarah Knappik about getting older: “When you get older, you start to look like a dinosaur. You get a broad face, a double chin, your ears get big, your nose gets bigger.” Knappik’s counter: “But you get better in bed.”

Thorsten Legat talked about his skills in killing animals: “Back when my father still had a garden, I had to slaughter chickens and rabbits at some point.” Danni Büchner confided around the campfire about a toxic relationship full of violence.

Knappik and Siegel talked about their argument by the river. And Winfried Glatzeder was bid farewell to applause from the others. Yes, he would have liked the 100,000 Euro prize money, he whispers. “But freedom is more important to me.” In addition to Glatzeder, Hanka Rackwitz and David Ortega have already left the show.
