Uncovering the echoes of the past associated with the phrase "treading upon others," as popularized by Gigi.
On the ninth day in the wilderness, challenges reach their peak. Camp dwellers are drained and on the brink. Hunger and exhaustion dominate daily routines. The misfortune continues as dinner takes a turn for the worse, leading Gigi to expose Thorsten Legat's strategy. Is this just the beginning of more hardships?
"I hardly ever cry, but I'm relieved to be out," remarks Winfried Glatzeder, known as "Kaders Anker." This is the last bit of happiness on this chaotic day. The entire camp is somber. Everyone seems to be at the end of their tether. Nights are restless, food scarcity persists, and the rule of not sleeping during the day is relentless.
"Hey Georgina, you're sleeping!" But is it really possible to prove it? Perhaps the 34-year-old Giulia is simply unable to handle the madness and is meditating? In essence, everyone seems like a lifeless zombie. Hunger controls the campers' waking hours. In an attempt to make the best of their situation, they make do by mashing beans and frying them into small patties. But Eric's words ring true: "Hunger forces us to do it."
Sarah and Giulia attempt to resolve their dispute that occurred the previous day. Giulia's comparison of the previous team leader to a Stasi officer was not well-received, even though she tried to defend herself by stating it was just a saying. Despite their friendly intentions, they fail to find common ground. Sarah promises Giulia she will not betray her and stir up trouble again.
Perhaps the grumbling stomach drives people to focus on others' insults while neglecting their own politeness.
Baring souls and ruining meals
Conversations about life, age, or past relationships barely offer any solace to the camp. Lethargy and inadequacy prevail. Those who expect delicious food to bring some joy are mistaken. Sadly, Giulia spoiled the guinea fowl by adding lemon pieces to the sauce. She also dropped the kale into the sand, leaving the campers moaning: "Disgusting! A complete disaster! Unfit for consumption!"
During a joint night watch with Sarah, Danni expresses her frustration about her demanding job and her tragic past. She once lived in poverty and a toxic relationship, resulting in her children being taken into foster care due to her depression. Danni's emotional breakdown under tears is heartbreaking.
The next morning brings little hope and is filled with worries about looking "tired out." Gigi, the new team leader, wrestles with his new responsibilities. Isn't a leader supposed to laze in a hammock all day and bark orders? But Gigi reasons, "I'm just too good-looking to work. That's why I became a reality star." So he vows to only participate in "dating shows" in the future and avoid challenging projects like the jungle camp.
Even the new "Big Boss" finds his feet in his position, but his antennas are still working perfectly. He turns his attention to Thorsten and scrutinizes his recent comments. Finally, Thorsten's macho act infected the campers, leading the viewers to cheer. "Bro, bro," Thorsten says to everyone, "You're in my heart, blah blah!" Gigi informs Sarah, "He says that to everyone! He also boasts, 'I had a villa and a Ferrari at 20.'" Gigi thinks, "If you have money, keep it to yourself!"
Legat's show-off behavior is met with Gigi's skepticism. Legat is never tired of talking about his "winning battles" that "everyone else can only dream of." But he also says, "I'll step on bodies to achieve my goals. I'll destroy everything around me."
Sarah and Elena also faced their fair share of destruction - their hopes for a gourmet dinner. Heidi Klum's former model and "the alpha female" received a zero-star rating in "SpieleParaFies." It was to be expected. They were subjected to fish innards and slop while answering difficult questions. And those grueling game requirements! No one, absolutely no one in this world can name "four African countries." The only way is up from here!
In the midst of their struggles, the campers start sharing their deepest secrets. During a late-night conversation, Georgina shares her frustration about the challenges, revealing she once lived in poverty and had her children taken away due to her depression.
Trying to lighten the mood, Gigi jokingly suggests that he should only participate in dating shows in the future and avoid challenging projects like the jungle camp, bringing a brief moment of laughter to the RTL broadcast.
