Claudia Obert, 63, seeks to promote peace among her fellow contestants on ‘Celebrities Under Palms,’ aiming to resolve tensions between Iris Klein and Yvonne Woelke. Despite her efforts, Iris dismisses Claudia’s input due to her past. As challenges unfold, unexpected dynamics arise, including humorous misunderstandings and alliances. Tensions culminate in surprising eliminations and a heartfelt yet contentious apology from Iris to Yvonne, while another contestant, Melody, confesses her unexpected feelings for Menowin, adding to the drama.
Claudia Obert’s Quest for Peace
At 63 years old, Claudia Obert is widely recognized for her extravagant lifestyle filled with money and champagne, often stating that “Life is a Party.” Beneath her glamorous exterior, however, lies a sincere desire for “world peace.” On the reality show ‘Celebrities Under Palms,’ Claudia aims to take a step toward harmony by facilitating peace talks between Iris Klein, 56, and Yvonne Woelke, 46. She believes that Iris should stop viewing Yvonne, the woman rumored to have stolen her partner, as a “criminal.”
Unfortunately, Claudia’s noble intentions face resistance from Iris, who bluntly responds, “I’d rather die,” expressing her unwillingness to engage with someone she perceives as inexperienced in love, given Claudia’s history of never being married.
Challenges and Unexpected Twists in the Villa
In an effort to cool tensions, the group participates in an ice bath challenge where they must complete an intelligence test involving arranging colorful bath ducks based on a text prompt. Ironically, Nikola Glumac, 28, often labeled as attractive yet lacking intelligence, emerges as the quickest to solve the task, followed closely by Christo, 38. These two men are then designated as team captains.
However, the atmosphere becomes even more charged when the cast receives video messages from home. Yvonne receives greetings from Peter Klein, 57, causing Iris to react with visible frustration as she raises her middle finger—unbeknownst whether it’s aimed at Peter or Yvonne. Meanwhile, Claudia enjoys a video message from her partner Max Suhr, 25, who Nikola mistakenly believes is her son.
The competition escalates as the teams return to the water to retrieve a treasure chest by maneuvering balls into a net. Motivated by a promise of a kiss from his crush Melody Haase, 31, Nikola gives his all. Despite his efforts, he remains unkissed but finds himself in a playful moment with Melody, leading to some embarrassing physical revelations.
In a twist of fate, Nikola, acting as captain of the losing team, has to nominate two members for elimination. He chooses Yvonne, despite previously assuring her safety, and also selects Claudia, who is beloved by others, ensuring that she won’t be voted out. The winning team ultimately decides to eliminate Yvonne, setting the stage for an unexpected moment of reconciliation where Iris extends her hand and apologizes, albeit while still calling Yvonne a “cold person.”
As the drama unfolds, two contestants, Melody and Nikola, are selected for a spa day, although Iris volunteers to go but is outvoted. Their time together is filled with physical closeness but verbal misunderstandings, as Melody refers to Nikola as a “fuckboy,” indicating her discomfort. Ultimately, she ends their date early, leaving everyone shocked when she confesses to Menowin that she has “accidentally” fallen for him—an unexpected twist that none, especially the married Menowin, saw coming.
