And the opossum greets you every day: Gil and Ariel are also arguing on day 15 in the jungle camp. Well, she argues, he stares into space. Gil thinks Ariel is malicious, Ariel thinks Gil is a liar and a bad person, everyone is very bored now. Because Patrick says this out loud, Ariel now finds him unsympathetic too. While Samira wonders whether Gil should lie on a couch instead of continuing to strive for the crown. Hardy sees Samira, Hubert and Simone in the finale, but please not Ariel. Meanwhile, Hubert senses that someone is sending him “negative energies”. In short: everyone is slowly going against everyone else, and the nerves are on edge. Even Gil can’t keep his poker face and later tells Eva, “You can’t keep pissing on your head and saying it’s raining.”
The older ones remember better times. Simone used to have five jobs at once and wonders why young people today collapse after two hours of work – “they just like to chill”. Hubert cleared shelves and swept streets, “we used to get really roughed up.” He also believes that today’s youth are no longer resilient. Will that bring in audience votes – or cost?
Patrick and Gil encourage each other while eating disgusting food
Patrick and Gil, who also nominated themselves, have to take the test. Gil wants to prove something to himself and everyone else again. As expected, there is disgusting food. You sometimes wonder whether it is still appropriate in 2026 to present people with all sorts of absurd parts of dead animals, but RTL is not responsible for questions of meaning. Cow snout, water buffalo anus, beach worms, crocodile excrement, goat penis. Five out of seven stars! Gil only has to pass with the scorpions, which were “fart-dry”, Patrick with the chicken hearts with mealworms. The two become best buddies along the way.
Meanwhile, Simone feels “cheered” because Gil is still there. Who chooses him? Further fundamental discussions follow. Hardy no longer expects a “civilized manner” from Ariel; she herself calls her approach “consciously hard”. Simone refers to it as an “axe”. The sharpest weapon in the world Camp! As soon as Gil returns from the exam, Ariel attacks him. He’s too good for her! He probably wasn’t that injured from his fall! “Who are you kidding?” she asks. And then, we know it: “You’re in here as a perpetrator! And now you’re ignoring me again. So embarrassing!” And so on and so forth.
Simone and Samira are now also clearly turning against Gil
Simone suddenly complains that Gil isn’t so calm anymore – this “murderous cheerfulness” bothers her. And she suggests that she knows “stuff” that he would probably rather not have made public. But now that it seems like Gil is on the winning track, maybe she’ll come out with it soon. In any case, Samira seems quite interested in it. The only one who barely says anything is Gil. Ariel calls him “silence fox”.
Patrick is disappointed in Simone. Hubert is irritated. Gil puts on his stone face again. The mood is at its lowest point. Where is Hardy anyway? Sits on his cot and says nothing. Probably also a silent fox – or simply dull. Then a nasty letter arrives: The camp rules have been ignored again. Everyone gives up their luxury items – only Hubert and Hardy are allowed to keep their ear plugs. Simone even gives up her necklace for this – a clever move to secure sympathy? In any case, Samira is annoyed: “The men are being so effeminate!” Ariel also attests that Hubert and Hardy had a “very poor performance”. Hubert cries.
Then Sonja and Jan announce who has to go today. Samira and Hardy are available for choice. Hardy has to go. Samira wishes him all the best, “now you see your wife again, at least that”. “Stop arguing!” Hardy advises goodbye.
So there are six campers left: Ariel, Gil, Hubert, Patrick, Samira, Simone. Prediction: Ariel and Gil will not be separated until the finale, Samira and Simone will watch over them (or lurk behind them for the crown).
