- Fourteen days into the wilderness: two notable figures face elimination
Swift Exit: On the preceding day, actor from "Good Times, Bad Times" Eric Stehfest (35) sent his competitor Thorsten Legat packing, but on the 14th day of RTL's Dschungelcamp of Legends, it was his turn to depart. He wasn't the sole one to bid adieu to the camp in the Wednesday episode of "I'm a Celebrity – Showdown of Dschungel-Legends" on RTL+.
Reality personality Elena Miras (32) surrendered during the Dschungelprüfung and declared the show's terminating sentence: "I'm a star – get me out of here!" Eric Stehfest was the one who sent her into the trial.
At the episode's onset, the legends encountered a moral quandary: they could designate a star for elimination with the most votes. The chosen star would have to depart, but they also held the alternative to abstain, hence no one would leave.
Hence, the legends were confronted with a choice: opt for safety and vote someone out (in the event of an abstention and a singular vote, that vote could mean their departure); or display camaraderie and abstain.
Of the eight remaining legends, four voted: Elena Miras and "Goodbye Germany" emigrant Danni Büchner (46) voted for Eric Stehfest's expulsion. Reality star Gigi Birofio (25) pledged her vote to "Summer House of the Stars" participant Georgina Fleur (34). Fleur, in turn, voted for her rival Miras.
Miras grappled with her fear
Stehfest voiced his resentment: "I'm just being penalized for being who I am." When Sonja Zietlow and co-moderator Jan Köppen came to take him away, they disclosed that Stehfest would select the participants for the Dschungelprüfung: he opted for Elena Miras and Georgina Fleur. The trial involved the two lying in a pit with various creatures released upon them.
For Miras, it wasn't the creatures that alarmed her, but the pit itself. "I'm being entombed alive in there," she said. She tried to persevere, but when the pit's lid was shut for a test, she screamed and demanded to leave. Eventually, she surrendered. "I'd rather leave."
Thus, within a single episode, another star who had recently ousted someone else also departed the camp. The fortunate one was Georgina Fleur, who didn't have to enter the pit and could persist in the race.
Dr. Bob's Ailment
In the new episode, there were not only two departures, but also a premiere in the 20-year history of RTL Dschungel: Dschungeldoktor Dr. Bob was indisposed. "He's actually ill," announced moderator Sonja Zietlow. Co-moderator Jan Köppen subbed in, donning Dr. Bob's distinctive appearance with a baseball cap and round glasses. He apprised the two trial participants Miras and Fleur of what was in store. Dr. Bob will also be absent in the episode on day 15.
The new "I'm a Celebrity" season is a special run commemorating the 20th anniversary of the show, which debuted in 2004. It's a reunion of sorts: the "legends," as RTL dubs them, have previously huddled around the campfire in past seasons.
In the following episode of "I'm a Celebrity – Showdown of Dschungel-Legends" on RTL+, the legendary actress Georgina Fleur avoided participating in a challenging trial, thanks to the voting decisions of her fellow campmates. Interestingly, Cologne served as the filming location for this season's Dschungelcamp, adding an extra layer of excitement for the viewers.
