She's a Vet, Chill AF, and Ready to Revolutionize Farming
Concern escalates: Unsecured veteran found with half-million euro question at stake
If Christine Weiß from Pleiskirchen, Bavaria, seemed like she was at a party, it's because she was having a blast on "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" She glided through the rounds with the ease of a seasoned player, even though this was her first time. She had the 50:50 Joker and the additional Joker, and her calm, collected demeanor made Günther Jauch take notice. No amount of questions from JD Vance or Ann-Katrin Berger could ruffle her feathers.
Weiß demonstrated a smart strategy by not taking unnecessary risks. The 64,000 euro question about footballer of the year 2024 had her stumped, but she trusted her phone-a-friend. When she confidently entered "Gotham FC" without hesitation, Jauch couldn't help but express his doubts. But Weiß proved she knew her sports, moving on to the next round.
Veterinarians know their stuff, and Weiß was no exception. She was quick to answer that JD Vance wrote "Hillbilly Elegy" and correctly identified Durek Verrett as the sex shaman married to Princess Martha Louise of Norway. However, during a delicate moment, Weiß momentarily confused former Federal President Richard von Weizsäcker's location. It didn't affect her winnings, though—she still correctly answered the 125,000-euro question.
Bugs and Bullseyes
When it came to the 500,000 euro question, Weiß had a Joker in her pocket. She wisely used it to halve the answer possibilities, narrowing it down to either a "postcard with holiday greetings" or a "price tag on a pair of pants." Weiß weighed her options and chose the safer route, taking 125,000 euros instead. She later revealed her plans for the money—a bold move toward a more sustainable future for her family's farm.
With traditional dairy farming no longer profitable, Weiß is considering transitioning to insect protein production. Specifically, she intends to breed flies for animal feed and, eventually, as a meat substitute. This modern twist on farming might raise some eyebrows, but for Weiß, it's a chance to contribute to a more environmentally friendly food industry.
Günther Jauch commended Weiß's decision, but expressed concern over her initial selection of a postcard for the 500,000 euro question. A price tag and its corresponding product are considered composite documents, and changing the amount on the label would technically constitute forgery. Jauch jokingly advised Weiß to reconsider her insect-farming plans.
Up next was Vincent Eiselt from Berlin, a medical student who watches "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" without ads on RTL+. Eiselt surprised Jauch and viewers by confessing that he doesn't watch TV. However, his answer to Katy Perry's question was spot on. Later, during a commercial break, Eiselt had an embarrassing moment when he urgently needed to use the restroom. Jauch, sympathetic to the situation, granted Eiselt's wish.
The following week promises to be another thrilling episode of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?", as Vincent Eiselt will return to take another shot at the grand prize. Let's see if he can avoid any more bathroom breaks and make it all the way to the top!
