- Thorsten Legat forcefully penetrates a wall with his head
The dozen-day stretch is complete. Twelve days in, the Mpumalanga Gang has been causing chaos. This is typically a point where things start to get challenging mentally. Energy-wise, it's the first time we're digging deep into our reserves, significant battles have been fought, and hidden ambitions are starting to surface. Moreover, a significant factor: This is the ideal time to deal with what's supposedly the biggest headache.
But this move comes with risks and consequences, similar to a vacuum of mood and loss of focus for the overall excitement. Talk to your doctor, your doctora, or the ones from the squabbling group: Even a day after the alleged "F-word" scandal, Kader, Georgina, and Sarah couldn't seem to find peace. The crude "fuck you" phrase was continually brought up, discussed, and dismissed until one was almost numb in front of the TV.
The Never-Ending "F-Word" Loop
"As a mother, one shouldn't say that," was one of the theories. Especially entertaining was Thorsten Legat's indignation: "Maybe you can say that in some adult shows," he said, "but this is high-class here!" It was amusing how he expressed his disdain for the "F-word" by saying it himself, of course, adding a disclaimer about not saying it on TV. What a wonderful concept of freedom of speech!
Also, this provided plenty of room for such discussions: The Giulia low has moved on, interpersonal issues have turned from persistent storms to occasional drizzle. The "F-word" loop continued, until suddenly – food was served. We remember the last meal as an excellent mood booster, unless there were snails on the menu. An annoying twist that most of the campers endured, almost as unbearable as the delayed Jungle Trial.
Accordingly, the slimy things were eaten with reluctance. While Gigi gasped loudly, Thorsten swallowed them like they were stars, a casual approach that later not only saved his skin but also earned the camp eight stars.
And the Loop Continues: "They can fart, that's all"
The journey was tough. In the "Gray Prison" jungle trial, it went into a tunnel system filled with snakes, cockroaches, and rats. Legat's finger was bitten bloody by rats, elsewhere he hit his head so hard that he bled. Thorsten in the underworld had only one thing to say: "The most disgusting thing I've ever experienced in my life!" Or as Danni Büchner put it: "The guy is simply unstoppable."
An unexpected wave of frustration swept through, the gender divide now so deep that one could breed crocodiles in it. It was reminiscent of Bibi & Tina, in the spirit of: Boys against girls, girls against boys. While the 'men's department' was already dreaming of coronations, the ladies resorted to the classic scare tactic. The way Elena shocked the unsuspecting Gigi, almost making him wet himself with fear, was simple yet effective. Her harsh critique of the male inhabitants' actual portfolios was noteworthy: "They can fart, that's all." It should be noted that Gigi, in particular, has a flatulence frequency that could warm entire villages, and the sounds are quite melodious, perhaps opening up new opportunities in the ringtone market.
Jungle Camp: A Glimpse into the Future
In between, Thorsten Legat discovered that his pubic hair growth was sparse, Gigi and Eric sang "We Are The World" so off-key that Michael Jackson was spinning in his grave, and Kader Loth uttered a sentence of such morbid beauty that one might want to get it tattooed on a jungle-green wall: "We are all lost souls!"
A little hint for today's conclusion? On day 13, Mola expresses his views on equality. Our prediction: That will be a blast, compared to which the "F-word" discussion is a mere sewing circle. Promise.
The disagreement over the use of the "F-word" continued to frustrate Kader, Georgina, and Sarah, despite Thorsten Legate's disapproval and use of the word himself. Later, during the jungle trial, Legate faced several challenges, including a rat bite and a head injury, but his attitude remained unshaken.
As the campers navigated the challenges of the jungle, the tension between the genders reached a boiling point, with Elena criticizing the men's portfolios and Gigi's frequent flatulence becoming a topic of discussion. Despite the struggles, Legate's resilience continued to impress the other campers.
