- Bites from ticks, celestial bodies, and swimming pool hydration
Day 5 at the All-Star Jungle Camp sees the ongoing feud between DJane Giulia Siegel (49) and "Goodbye Germany" actress Danni Büchner (46), splitting the camp into two hostile sides. The origins of this strife remain hazy, but the latest episode of "I'm a Celebrity - Clash of the Jungle Legends" (now on RTL+, airing on linear TV tomorrow) serves as additional ammunition.
Reality star Mola Adebisi (51) and Kader Loth (51) kick off their day with a scavenger hunt and fishing expedition. Their goal? Demonstrating their composed demeanor and ability to communicate despite blindfolded. Six keys are up for grabs, one of which unlocks a treasure chest. With his vision obscured, Adebisi must extract items from a tank using a long fishing rod and then place them in a box, assisted by Loth. "Communication between a man and a woman is both beautiful and challenging," Adebisi remarks afterwards.
When the time runs out, they pocket three keys, including the correct one. Their triumph is met with applause as they carry the treasure chest back to camp. However, they must collaborate with their fellow campers to answer a question – how many minutes are there in a week? A) 10,080 or B) 14,560? This query rekindles the tension. Siegel attempts to solve the issue by writing it out in the sand, but the group quickly opts for answer B, leading to an empty chest. "That was sheer foolishness and collective pressure," Siegel fumes.
The next dispute doesn't take long to ensue. "Love Island" winner Elena Miras (32) criticizes Siegel for sharing her cigarettes with other residents, violating the rules. Miras fears she may have to surrender her luxuries as a consequence. Siegel acknowledges the issue within the group but later assures the camera, "I will ensure no one notices this again."
In the fourth episode, Danni Büchner rearranges roles, assumedly taking Siegel's post as camp cook. As a result, Loth and former "Germany's Next Top Model" contestant Sarah Knappik (37) are now responsible for feeding the camp's inhabitants. Siegel watches disapprovingly from the sidelines with her allies, Hanka Rackwitz (55) and Georgina Fleur (34), commenting on her competitors' culinary abilities. Knappik and Loth prepare a dish consisting of crocodile foot, rice, zucchini, pineapple, and fennel. Siegel reminisces, "How can everything possibly go awry?"
The following day, the group erupts into arguments concerning fire management, water collection, and other tasks. Büchner hands the team leader baton to former footballer Thorsten Legat (55) in the morning. Legat decides to reinstate Siegel as the chief cook, upsetting Büchner.
The constant squabbling takes its toll on Georgina Fleur, who sheds tears by the campfire, feeling unappreciated and overlooked. Following a heated confrontation with Adebisi, however, things appear to improve.
And Sarah too, in her conversation with Kader Loth and Danni Büchner, weeps as she discusses her "Germany's Next Topmodel" past and reflects on her life. She's faced numerous challenges and is now "deeply grateful" – for both the highs and lows.
Next, Elena Miras treads a different path – one that ascends. In the jungle challenge "Vertical Ascent", the 32-year-old must conquer her fear of heights and encounters lizards, cockroaches, and corn snakes on her quest for stars. Meanwhile, team coach Thorsten Legat experiences snakes stalking him. The result: Elena's tears, four out of twelve possible stars, and a proud Thorsten who won't stop talking upon his return to camp.
Georgina bathes in cooking water, Gigi talks about his "religion of sex"
Between the campers' conflicts during episode five, there are also peculiar moments. Georgina has discovered a peculiar practice in the camp – she steals cooking water from the fire and indulges in a hot bath in the sink. "A brilliant idea," Hanka thinks. "She stole my idea," Giulia criticizes.
TV star Gigi Birofio (25) attempts to set Hanka up with his Italian uncle. However, when the actress reveals that she now identifies as asexual and has no interest in sex, Gigi is left taken aback, almost questioning his beliefs: "That's my faith, the three commandments of Gigi: 'Eat, Sex, Sleep.'"
Despite the ongoing disputes between Giulia and Danni, Mola and Kader successfully retrieve keys during their scavenger hunt and fishing expedition, but their victory is short-lived when the group incorrectly answers a question, leading to an empty treasure chest. The tension continues as Elena criticizes Giulia for sharing cigarettes, leading to further disputes within the camp.
In an unusual turn of events, Georgina steals cooking water for a bath, causing disagreement among the campers, while Gigi's attempt to set Hanka up with his uncle is met with an unexpected response when Hanka reveals her asexual identity, leaving Gigi momentarily questioned.
