The contestants include familiar faces from shows like "Germany Shore," "Love Fool," "Ex on the Beach," "Kampf der Realitystars," "Are You The One?," "Love Island VIP," "Beauty and the Nerd," and "Too Hot To Handle."
Among the female contestants are Antonia (25, from "Germany Shore" 2022), Ariel (22, from "Love Fool" 2023), Beverly (32, from "Ex on the Beach" 2023), Elli (27, also from "Ex On The Beach" 2024), Hati (24, from "Kampf der Realitystars" 2025), Henna (26, from "Are You The One?" 2022), Joanna (27, from "Are You The One?" 2025), Nelly (23, from "Beauty and the Nerd" 2024), Sandra Janina (25, from "Love Island VIP" 2024), and Viki (23, also from "Love Island VIP" 2024).
The male contestants include Kevin Njie (29, from "Too Hot To Handle"), Sidar (26, from the previous season of "Are You The One?"), Leandro (24, from "Love Island VIP"), Calvin O.

The first episode saw an unexpected reunion between Kevin Njie and Hati Suarez, who had a history before filming. However, it's unclear if they will get closer in the villa or prefer to avoid each other. Hati had broken the contract after seeing signs that Kevin was not single.
The contestants are getting close right from the start, with some already forming romantic connections. One of the wild games at a pool party, according to Sandra Janina, has caused a stir among viewers, with some expressing their disapproval of Henna kissing Jonny. On the other hand, some users have written positive reactions about the potential pairing of Kevin and Hati, with one user commenting, "They fit perfectly together."

A fan page of Jimi Blue Ochsenknecht is looking forward to the prominent newcomer. However, many viewers expressed disapproval of Henna kissing Jonny, with one user writing, "Who else shouted a loud no when Henna kissed Jonny?"
