The jungle camp started the new season on Friday evening. For the “hit farewell” it was at least 11.2 percent market share.
Dieter is “completely happy”
Drews, the “King of Mallorca”, was on stage for the last time on Saturday after announcing in the summer of 2022 that he wanted to take this step. “Since I’m at an age when others have long since retired, I also said to myself: someday it’ll be good,” he said at the time – also on a Silbereisen show. Numerous stars had now come to say goodbye, including David Hasselhoff (70), Maite Kelly (43) and Beatrice Egli (34). And of course Drew’s wife Ramona (49) and daughter Joelina (27) were there.
Meanwhile, Bohlen was apparently completely satisfied after his comeback. “I’m very happy”, the pop titan celebrated on Instagram this Sunday. And who knows: If the other episodes with Pietro Lombardi (30), Leony (25) and Katjabe Krasavice (26), who sit next to Bohlen on the jury, are also well received, RTL may decide to change the format after the to continue the anniversary season.
