Recommendations of the Editorial team
It all starts as it always does – with an argument. The camp residents sit around the fire and complain about each other and each other. Eve does not see herself as a snake, “from a human perspective.” Samira sees it differently. They both complain without a period or comma, Simone covers her ears. Ariel grins, Stephen is the mediator. He then gives Gil a small plastic chameleon. His advice to the consistently stoic singer: “It’s unsatisfactory for everyone if nothing comes.” In the video booth, Gil finally says… something: “The incident happened in Leipzig. But the incident and everything I can say about it never had anything to do with the city of Leipzig and the state of Saxony.” If it came across like that, he would be sorry. Huh? When would that ever have been the decisive accusation? He is once again silent about the actual incident. A lot of tension for nothing.
Later Stephen talks to him about it again. Gil says again that he isn’t allowed to say anything and that it frustrates him too. They hug each other. Same shit, different day. Unsatisfactory for everyone, indeed.
Samira reports from “Bachelor”, Gil is injured
“How can you be so tiring?” Ariel of all people asks this question. Because Patrick sings a little. The farmer now speaks of himself in the third person about the “double-edged Patrick” – the one who just wants to play and the one who wants to win. Maybe both are the same. Hubert suggests that Ariel go to “The Bachelor,” but Samira doesn’t have anything good to say about it. The competitors thought she was a trans woman, perhaps because of her breasts. The “Playboy” shoot was more pleasant because everyone was so professional. But overall she is annoyed when people stare at her just because she likes to dress feminine: “We all have nipples, what’s the problem?” Hardy knows it: Men’s nipples are just less interesting! This is the climax of the entertainment.
Eva and Gil are nominated for the test. “I suspect evil,” he says. But after everything he’s already endured, it’s unlikely he would injure himself jumping off a pier. Although Dr. Bob warned that it would be slippery. He falls against the edge of the floating plateau, remains lying there and is taken to the hospital as a precaution. Eva returns to the Camp back and report back. “Crazy shit!” says Stephen. Everyone is shocked and speaks unctuously, only the pragmatic Simone asks about the stars for the food. And Stephen has another accident story of his own, from the “TV Total” high diving. Finally the all-clear after the MRI: everything is okay with Gil, only scratches and bruises.
Ariel complains about the lack of sex, Simone warns about bad boys
So it continues as usual. Ariel talks about how long she has “not had intimacy with a man”: “a very long time.” No sex for three months! Hubert has something to contribute to the topic (experienced a lot), as does Simone: If women are always into bad boys, they don’t have to be surprised when things go wrong. She likes it when someone cooks too. Samira doesn’t want to go for walks on dates because she’s “not a dog”. Patrick finds all these demands “violent” and the women too “strict”. Where has equality gone? To relax, we play a bit of “Truth or Dare”. But did we really want to know that Stephen once hyperventilated while having sex on camera and that Hubert is on Grindr?
Gil finally comes back to camp, two rangers accompany him to the cot. “Nothing is broken,” he says with a very serious look, “I’m very lucky.” Hardy makes his bed available to him. And suddenly Gil apologizes! Not for Leipzig, but because he “didn’t tear anything”. And he admits that he got a banana sandwich. Even Ariel didn’t seem to begrudge him.
Then the decision. Stephen or Hardy? Stephen has to leave the camp, Hardy doesn’t bat an eyelid. A great actor! But Gil looks very unhappy, his familiar is gone. “It was a great trip,” sums up Stephen.
Prediction: Gil’s strength comes back, as does Ariel’s toxicity. And another of the older gentlemen will have to leave soon.
