Emotions Run High in the Jungle Camp
The ninth episode of “I am a star – Get me out of here!” showcased the full spectrum of human emotions, proving that the jungle camp is anything but dull. From heartfelt tears to intense arguments, and moments of joy, the episode had it all. Viewers witnessed the exit of a second celebrity, alongside a rather shocking attempt at motivation from one of the participants.
Moments of Reflection and Conflict
The latest installment aired on RTL, where emotions ran deep as contestants reflected on their families. Alessia Herren, a 23-year-old mother, expressed her need for “a little time” to process her feelings. “I think about her all the time. I miss my family very much,” she shared. Fellow contestant Edith Stehfest, 30, echoed similar sentiments, mentioning how comforting it is to hear a simple “Mama, I love you” from her children. Nina Bott, 47, also shed tears as she worried about her kids and husband.
A tense moment unfolded during the bed distribution, resulting in a heated exchange between Stehfest and Pierre Sanoussi-Bliss, 62. A missing bed led to a sarcastic remark from Stehfest, which escalated when Sanoussi-Bliss retaliated with an insult. The situation spiraled, leaving Stehfest feeling unsupported, while Sanoussi-Bliss questioned if the group was going to confront him. The confrontation ended with two less-than-sincere apologies, and fellow camper Sam Dylan noted it as a defining “reality moment” for Sanoussi-Bliss.
Sanoussi-Bliss later expressed concerns about the possibility of being sued over his remarks, suggesting that Stehfest was seeking attention. Bott commented that while Sanoussi-Bliss may have a “big mouth,” he also had good intentions, pointing out Stehfest’s sensitivity and how she seemed easily offended.
Controversy and Surprises in the Jungle Test
This episode marked a shift in the jungle test selection process, as the celebrities chose Jörg Dahlmann, 66, to participate. His eagerness to taste unusual delicacies like kangaroo testicles was evident as he prepared for the challenge alongside Timur Ülker, 35. However, the mention of Donald Trump stirred controversy. Dahlmann expressed his dislike for Trump, referencing a past assassination attempt, which did not sit well with his fellow campers.
During the jungle test, Dahlmann and Ülker searched for stars hidden among mealworms and spiders. They managed to collect five out of eleven stars, but Dahlmann’s comments regarding the women in the camp raised eyebrows. Bott attempted to confront him about his Trump references, but he remained evasive, stating he preferred not to discuss politics.
Amidst the tension, a positive twist occurred when Koc and Dziwak received unexpected news about their treasure hunt. They were informed they had answered correctly and would receive their prize: salt and pepper. Ülker celebrated this small victory, saying, “Salt and pepper, that’s a new game, new luck.”
However, the episode took a surprising turn when Koc was voted out of the jungle camp as the second celebrity to leave, following former decathlete Jürgen Hingsen’s exit. Her shocked reaction, “Oh, that’s crazy,” resonated with viewers as the unexpected eliminations continued to unfold.
