Reconciliation of rivals

Arch-rivals Aleks and Maurice have to spend more time together than they would like in episode three of “Battle of the Reality Stars”.
In the third episode, two reality stars have to leave for the first time. But first two new celebrities arrive: Isi Glück, 32, according to her own statement, “mood singer with a focus on Mallorca”. And Silva Gonzalez, 44, – or “silver like gold only with an A at the back,” as Calvin misunderstands. Silva (not Silba) is a mood singer with a focus on Hot Banditoz. After a few summer hits with the band, he sees himself as a kind of global star.
The first game is a classic in “Battle of the Reality Stars”. The celebrities have to rank according to the amount of their fees. Maurice naturally sees himself at the forefront here. After all, he is “current” after his participation in last year’s “Summer House of the Stars”. Maurice was the first reality star to be asked, but apparently he agreed without much negotiation. Because he earns less than his “summer house” rival Aleks Petrovic, 32, or his platonic love-hate Cecilia Asoro, 28. By the way, Ben Tewaag, 47, gets the most, just ahead of Aleks. Since the stars performed poorly in the game, as punishment they are chained in pairs to a huge contract, a book almost the size of a man.
Maurice thinks it’s a disgrace that he earns so little. After all, he provides the greatest entertainment here. A not entirely unjustified objection. He seems to feel, at least dimly, that his entertainment value lies primarily in the difference between his self-image and his performance.
Solidarity among humiliated lions
Appropriately, the “Wall of Truth” is about the question of which reality star has the “biggest heights”. The group puts Silva at the front. But of course the audience sees Maurice there. The self-proclaimed lions, although Tanja Tischevich, 34, rightly reveals that male lions are actually lazy and anything but strong fighters. They let their wives hunt for them.
Aleks comes in second behind Maurice. As punishment, the two enemies have to spend a night on a red carpet. In the middle of the outdoors, in front of an outhouse that Aleks often uses because of his diarrhea. Then it rains too. At least the “masculine men” (Aleks) get rain capes, in pink and purple of course.
Thanks to this clever move by the production, solidarity actually develops between the ailing alpha lions. They help each other with the cat’s laundry – and speak properly for the first time since the “summer house”. It won’t be a friendship between them, but a truce” (Aleks).
Jenny Elvers saves the “Good Mood Club”
In the safety game, the reality stars have to compete in groups of three. One duo remains, consisting of Calvin and Aleks, probably the strongest players. The team of three or two must guess canceled reality shows from clues. To get the clues out of a cylinder, they have to fill it with water from a basin. The ground between the paddling pool and the cylinders is of course slippery. It hardly makes any (sporting) sense, but it looks fun.
Aleks and Calvin actually have a disadvantage here because they have less swarm intelligence at their disposal. The trio of Maurice, Cecilia and Jenny Elvers, 51, has an advantage. Because the latter was a participant in the “Good Mood Club”, she was part of the triangle drama between her, Marc Terenzi, 45, and Cora Schumacher, 47. And exactly this love triangle is a clue to the correct answer. Cecilia, Maurice and Jenny are the only team to put together the correct solution word from the correct answers. The much-maligned Maurice, of all people, provides the crucial clue. The trio is safe from expulsion.
For the first time this season, it’s not just the newcomers who throw out a reality star, there’s the first shard dish. Ben gets the most coins. Uschi Glas’s son, 80, seemed like a foreign body from the start, and he shouldn’t be too sad about moving out.
However, Theresia Fischer, 32, is irritated. Isi and Silva send the model home because she supposedly provides the least amount of entertainment.
