"Fascinating show": Student reduces funds to zero euros on Jauch
Not too long ago, a kid from Berlin playing "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" ended up with no money due to the sun. This was followed by two other unfortunate events. One overconfident fan and the other, a heroic son who saved his mother.
In the latest episode of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" before the extended summer break, Günther Jauch noticed something strange. "I'm not too sure what's going on today," he said during the show. And then Stefan Severin made a huge mistake. The 25-year-old student from Berlin failed at the 500-euro question and had to depart with nothing. Jauch had some not so good news for any fans hoping for a reunion.
Severin had done well on the first four questions. But his sudden downfall surprised everyone. "How is the sunny, cheerful sunshine described, which is meant to show that everyone is happy and content?" Jauch wondered. The options were arrogant, flirtatious, affected, or self-satisfied. Severin chose wrongly.

Since he had not known the meaning of "affected" before, Severin went for flirtatious. But he was uncertain, and Jauch had a feeling it would lead to a disaster. "I think you might be on thin ice right now," Jauch warned. "There's no need to apply more pressure," Severin replied. Jauch had a feeling: "I'm going to ask how long it's been since the last one went home with zero euros. It's been quite a while. Please don't follow in their footsteps."
Severin played it safe and pulled the 50:50 joker. However, his preference was removed leaving "arrogant" and "affected". He swiftly went with "affected" and in a blink, disaster struck. "No!" he cried in disbelief when Jauch revealed the correct answer. "This is very, very bitter," exclaimed the unlucky one. Jauch then tried to make things better for the student who works in public service.
He informed him that null-euro candidates could get a second chance in a special episode, but there was a catch. The last time anyone had left with zero euros was in 2021. "You're almost there...it might take a while", Jauch said, trying to boost his spirits.
Two more crashes followed that evening. Birgit Weinrich from Darmstadt lost it somewhat gently. The interior architect without the joker guessed the 64,000-euro question about mealworms turning into mealworm beetles. Jauch was looking for mealworms. Weinrich ended up with 16,000 euros thanks to the security variant.
The last candidate of this season of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" wasn't as lucky. Isabelle Dugaro from Hamburg relied on a young football fan from the studio audience for the 8000-euro question. He thought the highest transfer fee for a German football player (Lena Oberdorf) was at least four million euros. He was way off.
"We're not there yet," Jauch told her, much to her disappointment. They were looking for 400,000 euros. "No, no," Dugaro replied, looking disheartened. Jauch gave her a tip: "I would have asked a woman." It turned out the other joker candidate knew the right answer. "That's okay," Dugaro quickly recovered.
Popularity of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" will be missed for three months now. Jauch left early for the European Football Championship on Monday due to the summer break. He is set to return again only in early September - for the 25th anniversary celebration of the show. "Thank you, goodbye, have a nice summer," Jauch said his goodbyes.

In the world of RTL's "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?", Günther Jauch often encounters contestants with varying levels of success. Recall the episode where a Berlin student, Stefan Severin, incorrectly answered the question about a sunny disposition, leading him to part ways with all his money.
During the show, Günther Jauch, the beloved host of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?", mentioned Millionaires TV episodes featuring both 'affected' and 'flirtatious' contestants. The 25-year-old Stefan Severin, having chosen 'flirtatious' out of uncertainty, fell victim to a costly mistake and left with zero euros.
