"Promi Big Brother" sends Matthias packing
In the last two weeks of "Promi Big Brother," the air was filled with conspiracy theories, drama, and plenty of intrigue. But when it came down to the finale, all that mattered was the tension between the five remaining contestants, sitting nervously in the container, awaiting their last mission.
Before the suitcase with 100,000 euros could find a home, hosts Jochen Schropp (45) and Marlene Lufen (52) treated viewers to a highlight reel of the previous day's show's most compelling moments.
A Tough Decision
Then came the first game: a round of "Mini-Hochstapler," where each contestant built their Jenga tower only for two to face elimination. Paulina Ljubas (26) and Matthias Mangiapane (32) were the unlucky ones, forcing the viewers to choose between them.
After much anticipation, the viewers made their decision at 21:21, and Big Brother announced, "You're a worthy 5th place winner. Matthias, leave the container now and head to the arena." Matthias smiled painfully, bid his housemates a tearful goodbye, and departed the container, greeted with a mix of emotion and criticism.
Criticism and Confrontation
Dominik Stuckmann (31) quickly chimed in, telling Matthias, "You said yourself that you were booked to make a scene. In the last few days, it's become clear that you haven't actually changed. You represent values that I don't have." Matthias pressed back, and things soon heated up, resulting in a heated exchange. Lufen interrupted them, resetting the mood with a clip of Matthias's best moments.
The Lives of the Celebrity Contestants
As a whole, "Promi Big Brother" viewers had been entertained for 24 hours a day, seven days a week, by the housemates' sworn friendships, arguments, and tearful reconciliations. Iris Klein (56) and her husband Peter (56), after rekindling their love within the televised "TV prison," gave hope to countless hopeless romantics. However, it was only Peter Klein who made it to the final.
Meanwhile, troublemakers Matthias Mangiapane, Paulina Ljubas, Yeliz Koc (30), and Marco Strecker (21) frequently accused each other of foul play.
For "Promi Big Brother" fans, this particular Monday evening likely marked the beginning of a time of hardship as another contestant soon prepares to pack their bags.
