“I haven’t seen it once,” says Heinz Hoenig right at the beginning, and with that he’s already ahead of us. We know the ironic sayings of Sonja Zietlow and Jan Köppen, who are once again hosting everyone. We know that with half of the “stars” of “I’m a Celebrity – Get Me Out of Here!” we first have to google who they actually are. We don’t really want to look at the jungle camp anymore and of course we do. A first analysis after the opening show: Who promises fun, who promises trouble? And who will we see as the jungle queen or king on the show’s 20th anniversary?
The first impression:
Cora Schumacher Her nose runs violently during her first appearance, which distracts a bit from her freshly sprayed lips.
Mike Heiter introduces himself as a “reality star”, “I do a few TV things, appear here and there”. His forehead is shiny, which bothers the camera professional.
Appears third KimVirginia, which also does “a bit of TV” between Mannheim and Miami. “Dirty, disgusting, outhouse” are the things that spontaneously come to mind about the jungle camp. She quickly takes off her pink coat and then only wears a bodysuit that is smaller than her sunglasses.
Sarah Kern is the first to introduce herself with a real job, a designer, and immediately tells her bankruptcy story. “Fame and money” bring them here.
Then there is a brief chance for a nap – the former national player David Odonkor manages to make even his World Cup dream sound boring.
Twenty4Tim He does social media “full-time” and is a musician. He can’t do anything less than 100 stories a day. 2.6 million Instagram followers thank him – and many also hate him. “I’m really just a 23-year-old boy who wants to be loved,” says Tim.
“Bachelor” candidate Leyla Lahouar greets him with “Well, you horny pig!” Her neighbors hate her laugh, she says, and that her lisp isn’t due to her puffed-up lips (probably, because she’s actually a bit difficult to understand).
Heinz Hoenig cries because he will miss his little son
Felix von Jascheroff, John from “Good Times, Bad Times” for 22 years, emphasizes that he is more than Felix from GZSZ and then has to laugh himself. A pleasantly normal guy who can say fairly straight sentences.
The pointy-nosed one Anya Elsner Meanwhile, she’s afraid of pimples in the jungle and has realized that she was a “little bitch” on “Germany’s Next Top Model” and is still not a team player. Best conditions!
“No Angel” really goes as a celebrity Lucy Diakovska who immediately talks about how she cared for her mother, who has since died, and of course becomes emotional – and then asks for a more superficial question. When she blares “Let’s get ready to rumble,” she’s the usual riot sister again.
Vacuum cleaner representative Fabio Knez has a screw loose, “everyone can see that,” he says with a mild smile. He knows his way around reality television and is only afraid of hunger (and probably his well-groomed hair).
Naturally, the last to come Heinz Hoenig on, 72 years old and about 50 years in the business. He played in “Das Boot” and on the “Dream Ship”. But his film awards don’t count now, he suspects. He cries because he will miss his little son so much. A great actor. Unfortunately, he has difficulty hearing and has to tell Sonja Zietlow not to “whisper” like that. An accusation that she has certainly never heard before.
The first challenge:
All twelve managed to move and move in, even if the journey was difficult again. When fighting against a waterfall, David and Felix were the most skilled, Sarah, Anya and Mike began to show some weaknesses in form, and Cora proved to be quite adept at paddling. The camp is rated nine stars, but no one likes the food.
The roles are quickly assigned: Heinz, the complainer. Cora, the helpful one. Leyla, the radiation victim. David, the smartass. Felix, the level-headed one. Lucy, the fighter. Twenty4Tim, the chatterbox. Anya, the clerk. Fabio, the innocent one. Mike, the bore. Kim Virginia, the vapid one. Sarah, the grim one.
Then comes the obligatory, always disgusting food test, which is no longer necessary. It’s hard to imagine that people still binge in front of the television when fish eyes or goat testicles are served. Half of the disgusted dozen somehow get the stuff down. Despite or because of the malnutrition, the first “sexual tensions” are already emerging – Anya finds David “hot”, Tim likes the uninterested Mike: “If I’m ignored, I’m already horny!” The topic culminates in Cora’s realization: “ Fucking in love is much nicer.”
The audience finally sends Kim Virginia and Twenty4Tim to the individual test – a victory for the stupid names.
The first forecast:
The caretaker Cora will narrowly snatch the crown of jungle queen from the communications kamikaze Twenty4Tim.
