The reality stars have to vote: the boringest flies. And a candidate has to leave who first wanted to get out and then wanted to stay.
It becomes philosophical in the fifth episode of “Kampf der Realitystars”: “Who cares about a sheet of metal what we’re doing here?” Asks Claudia Obert (59) fellow inmate Kader Loth (48) rather rhetorically. “We are only a means to an end, we earn money and that’s it,” replies the disaffected. The young competitors on the show who dream of a great career just have to look at the two trash veterans. “Look where we are. We are lying on hard mattresses. There is no way up”.
Kader should know, after all, she has been in the business for 20 years. She doesn’t let herself be said about “newcomers” (sic!) And “one-day fliers” (!). The self-proclaimed reality queen, who has difficulty finding words, breaks them “into pieces” (!).
Cosimo brings the “real” into “Realitystar”
One of the newcomers is Cosimo Citiolo (39). The self-proclaimed “Checker vom Neckar” makes himself popular with Kader: “You have gotten older”. The former “DSDS” permanent candidate and ex-court jester of rapper Bushido is only honest. As for his trash colleagues, the highest ideal for him is always to say what you think.
Cosimo philosophizes about the word “real” in reality stars: “I’m real and a star. So I’m a reality star. You’re just a star,” he says of Julia Jasmin “JJ” Rühle (33), the second newcomer the consequence. Like all newcomers, the “Berlin Tag & Nacht” actress and Cosimo have to decide whether to kick someone out. But that turns out to be difficult because Cosimo interprets his realness as total unpredictability. A dispute ensues in the course of which JJ shows the “finger stinker” (quote from Cosimo, not Kader).
It’s the eternal dilemma of trash TV. Everyone constantly demands that one must not pretend and that one should always express one’s opinion in the face of others. But when someone shows his “true face”, then again it is not right.
The most boring one flies
The makers remain unpredictable like Cosimo. In the middle of the show and out of line, they announce an expulsion. YouTuber Leon Machère (28) and reality actor Mike Heiter (28) are identified as the most boring participants, the stars have to throw one of the two out. You choose Leon. Mike is allowed to stay, although he actually remains as pale as in “Das Sommerhaus der Stars”, where his then partner Elena Miras (29) loudly outshone him. Although he is allowed to stay, Mike bursts into tears. Not because he is seen as boring by his colleagues, but because he misses the daughter he has with Elena. Or so. Men just can’t articulate their feelings that well.
The weakest flies
Since a downpour flooded the set, the big hour of the decision falls into the water. Moderator Cathy Hummels (33) is allowed to stay in the hotel. The modified mode this time: Each reality star can name a competitor he wants to have selected. The newcomers can choose one of the above. Narumol (55) is also on the list. Apparently she forgot that she had previously asked her roommate to send her home. Now the “farmer seeks wife” cult candidate is fantasizing about knives that are stuck in her back.
Cosimo and JJ finally manage to actually agree on a star. Narumol has to go, even though she had signaled in conversation with JJ shortly before that she wanted to stay. But for the newcomers, the 55-year-old is the weakest physically who would only hinder her in play-offs. That’s just life in show business, Kader would say.
