Claudia Kohde-Kilsch had to leave the TV container. In an interview, she reveals how she experienced the time with "Celebrity Big Brother".
For Claudia Kohde-Kilsch (56), the "Celebrity Big Brother" adventure is over again. The former tennis player was the first to leave the show on Monday. The lack of audience calls put the 56-year-old on the exit list. In an interview with the news agency spot on news, she reveals why the farewell was so emotional for her, with which candidates she made friends and how she really thinks about Senay Gueler's (44) quick-tempered manner.
After your surprising expulsion, you started to cry. How are you now?
Claudia Kohde-Kilsch: Of course I'm fine, it's a show, it's a game. But I was also shocked. I was really sad that it got me first. I just wanted to stay because it was a great time. Nevertheless, at that moment, all of the tension fell away from me and I started to cry.
Most of your roommates decided against you because they were of the opinion that you would cope with the exit better than Udo Bönstrup – do you agree?
Kohde-Kilsch: Of course I can take it. But I wouldn't agree with this argument because Udo would have taken it too. I know from him, he told me, that he is completely unsure whether this is the right thing for him at all and whether it will damage his image. He is very afraid of a loss of image and wanted to leave in between. So I found the argument a little strange.
Why do you think so few viewers called for you?
Kohde-Kilsch: I don't think that I wasn't in the foreground enough, I was always and everywhere. Unfortunately, you don't always see it. But I also think that just because I received too few calls, it wasn't against me, but for others who got more attention at that moment because something polarized them. This applies to Emmy, for example, who is doing gymnastics half-naked through the fairytale forest, or Senay, who argues and gets excited. I am not.
How did you experience the quarrels in the fairytale forest?
Kohde-Kilsch: There isn't much space in the fairytale forest, so you couldn't avoid it. Once Senay started, the voice was pretty loud. It was interesting for me to watch that, I don't directly interfere in something like that. When a seasoned, 44-year-old, experienced man attacks a 21-year-old who has not yet experienced anything in her life except showing her body, then it is an interesting, social observation.
How do you rate Senay's behavior?
Kohde-Kilsch: In terms of content, he was right in many discussions. But within a discussion you have to accept a different opinion and respond to your counterpart. He can't do that. Senay accepts no other opinion besides himself.
How did you feel about that short time with "Celebrity Big Brother"?
Kohde-Kilsch: It was a mega experience and a great adventure. I got to know 15 interesting people. Two or three friendships are sure to last. For example, I got on very well with Simone. I have also taken Jenny into my heart. I got along well with Werner too. I will probably have most of the contact with Simone. I regret nothing. I am glad I was there. We'll see each other again in two weeks and start a WhatsApp group (laughs).
Who do you think will win Celebrity Big Brother?
Kohde-Kilsch: That is difficult to say. The tide can turn and turn every day. I think someone like Mischa has a good chance. It doesn't correspond at all to the picture that was made at the beginning. I think that the audience has already noticed that – a very nice guy. Werner could also emerge victorious. He is 81 years old and is going through this difficult phase in his life.
Which celebrity, on the other hand, has no chance of victory?
Kohde-Kilsch: Someone like Ramin, Udo or Elene won't win. Elene is very exhausting, people are probably rather annoyed with her at the moment. Jasmine is very withdrawn. She has a lot to struggle with herself and everything. It will definitely be exciting.
