Fighting for the Reality TV Crown: Past Winners Unveiled
Celebrities have achieved victories on the show - Contenders Prospective for Victory on the Program
Lace up your boots and grab your popcorn! The "Battle of the Reality Stars" is gearing up for a new season on May 7, airing at 8:15 PM on RTLzwei, or stream it early via RTL+. Who will claim the ultimate reality TV title in 2025? Let's take a look at the stars who've ruled the show in the past.
This gripping reality TV competition brings together celebrities to cohabit in a Thai-inspired sala and battle in thrilling challenges. Unlike other reality formats, the show's winner is not decided by public vote. The finale in the first season had contestants scrambling for VIP bracelets hidden within a three-tier cake, answering trivia questions, and even aiming champagne corks at rubber ducks.
Cathy Hummels (37) hosted the grand finale in the initial season, announcing the victor as former footballer Kevin Pannewitz (33), who took home a 80s TV-shaped trophy and a €50,000 prize. Kate Merlan (38) bagged the third position, while Sam Dylan (34) secured second place.
A Fan-Favorite Victory
In the second season, eliminated contestants had the power to vote for their favorite among the finalists. The popular singer Loona (50), despite occasional turbulence in her popularity and accusations of brown-nosing, won the hearts of her peers. Andrej Mangold (38) and Claudia Obert (63) trailed behind, receiving two and zero votes, respectively.
The third season's winner, "Reality Star 2022," was chosen through the votes of former contestants. Elena Miras (33) emerged as the victor against stiff competition from Yasin Mohamed (33), Schäfer Heinrich (58), and Malkiel Rouven Dietrich. Miras, known for her controversial TV persona, thanked her fellow contestants for accepting her despite her negative image.
The fun continued in 2023, as a self-proclaimed superfan of the show, Serkan Yavuz (32), joined with a symbolic entry fee of one euro. He beat Sascha Sirtl (45) and Eva Benetatou (33) to claim the fourth season win.
The nail-biting fifth season crowned Calvin Kleinen (33) as the winner against fierce competition from Cecilia Asoro (29). Calvin's impressive performance in the challenges and popularity in the sala secured him the victory. The charismatic trash TV Casanova proved to be a tough rival.
While there's no information about a specific "Battle of the Reality Stars" series, another popular reality competition is Netflix's "Battle Camp." In the latest season, Lorenzo Nobilio emerged victorious, taking home a hefty $250,000 cash prize.[1][3] Keep an eye out for new reality TV competitions to see who will rise to fame this season!
