Old alliances crumble, new ones emerge. One who was previously considered untouchable is no longer so. And then there’s the matter of the F-word.
Sarah Knappik just thinks out loud: What would happen, she asks, if “we joined forces with women’s power”? Perhaps it would be possible to “overthrow one or two men”.
After all, the five remaining women are one more than the four remaining men. And even though they constantly try to convince them that they are stronger, wiser and basically invincible, the female candidates are in the majority.
Battle of the sexes
On day twelve, the battle of the sexes broke out in RTL’s “Legends Jungle Camp”. After Giulia Siegel, who was extremely controversial within the camp, left, the cards are apparently being reshuffled.
Old alliances are crumbling, new ones are emerging. And the women in the jungle are particularly annoyed – first with each other and then increasingly with the men, who are united in their arrogance and make no secret of the fact that they don’t really believe any of the candidates can win the 100,000 Euro prize. Or, as Elena Miras put it in the episode of “I’m a Celebrity – Showdown of the Jungle Legends” broadcast on RTL+ on Monday evening: “The men here also think they’re the kings.”
“A bad word”
But before this realization matures, it still takes some time for the argument between Knappik and Georgina Fleur that carried over from day eleven to pass. After completing a jungle test that was actually quite successful, they clashed for reasons that are difficult to understand, to the point that Fleur went to the extreme and said the “F-word”: “Take your stars and f… you.”
Sarah – in her tried and tested Stasi manner (she also got extremely worked up about a Stasi comparison made by Giulia Siegel) – acts outraged and draws many others along with her. “Georgina used the F-word,” she announces. “In my eyes, that’s completely unacceptable, especially as a mother.”
Thorsten Legat agrees and says with a concerned expression: “It’s a bad word” – only to repeat it much more often than Georgina herself. But the jungle of legends is “high class” and children also watch.
“Thorsten, this is not a church broadcast”
One person who can’t understand all the fuss is Gigi Birofio: “Thorsten, this isn’t a church show,” he says, quite rightly. And: “There have been worse things on TV.” Overall, you can tell that reality star Birofio is getting increasingly irritated. He is not only annoyed by the jungle in general (“I don’t think there is anything I hate more than the jungle. Except school, that was also crazy”), but especially by the self-proclaimed alpha male (“Kasalla”) Legat.
“A snail tastes like a snail”
Gigi, who this time almost throws up even at the regular camp meal (note: “A snail tastes like a snail”), warns Elena Miras not to believe everything the ex-footballer says and suspects: “He just wants to win.”
Legat doesn’t get one in episode twelve, but he does get eight out of nine stars in his jungle test. What the consequences of his taking part in it and passing it are initially unclear; even for Legat, who, for reasons he didn’t disclose, let his fellow campers believe otherwise and pretends he knows what happens next.
RTL left the consequences open, but showed a small preview of episode 13. In it, presenter Mola Adebisi says he doesn’t believe in emancipation. “My wife is my queen, but I am the law.” In what context he says this was not entirely clear at first. But it cannot be ruled out that sentences like these will usher in a new round in the jungle battle of the sexes.
