Title: Shockwaves in the Jungle: Survival of the Fierce
The jungle legend game is heating up! Following the unexpected ousting of Alpha-Tier Thorsten Legat (55) in the latest episode, the campsite atmosphere has drastically shifted. Some think it's a prank and search for him, disbelieving. On the 14th day of "Celebrity Showdown of the Jungle Legends" (streamable on RTL+, then on linear TV on RTL the next day), more heads start to roll without warning.
In an interview with RTL, Thorsten himself expressed his disappointment but graciously accepted his elimination, acknowledging that the others had strategically eliminated him as their top opposition.
Natural Selection: The Strong Survive
Meanwhile, Georgina Fleur (34) notices that Thorsten's close allies seem to celebrate his departure instead of mourning it. She perceives their calculation of better odds for themselves to win the jungle crown. Indeed, Swiss reality star Elena Miras (32) gleefully exclaims in the jungle phone, "My biggest opponent is out. I can win even better now!"
As others show little empathy, host Sonja Zietlow (56) sarcastically concludes, "Now, there's a twist to Darwinism in the camp: Survival of the Fittest."
Kader Sees a Bright Future for Gigi
Once the initial shock of Legat's elimination has passed, Kader Loth (51) starts reading the campers' palms. She's picked up a little card reading from her aunt and makes promising predictions for Gigi Birofio (25). However, she also warns of potential financial ruins due to poor money management. She sees multiple children in his future, too.
During Georgina's palm reading, she shares, "Wow, your hands are incredibly dirty!" She also foresees an international businessman carrying Georgina on his hands.
An Underhanded Bet to Cut a Contestant
The fortune-telling session doesn't last long, as Elena Miras returns from the jungle phone with a disturbing piece of news. The remaining celebrities are tasked with nominating a contestant for elimination. The catch? If no one votes, no one has to leave. However, the contestant with the most votes will be forced to depart the following day.
After a heated internal debate between group solidarity and personal victory, Sarah Knappik (37), Kader, Eric Stehfest (35), and Mola Adebisi (due to her Christian values) decide not to cast a vote. In the end, Elena announces the voting result: "Eric, you received the most votes and will leave the camp tomorrow morning."
Eric takes the news surprisingly well at first, saying, "Fair enough. I saw this coming." But eventually, his frustration kicks in: "The suspicions I had about people being two-faced in this jungle were justified. I was eliminated in such a simple way, not by testing my mettle as true legends should."
The following morning, Eric departs the camp with his head held high, convinced that he gave everything he had during the trials. "I was just determined," says Stehfest.
Before he leaves, the hosts surprise him with a "small farewell gift": He gets to choose two of the five remaining "Jungle Queens" - Elena, Danni Büchner (46), Kader, Sarah, and Georgina - for a gruesome jungle trial. With a cryptic grin on his face, he chooses Elena and Georgina. They agree to enter the challenge together and exit together, even sharing a friendly hug.
Elena Crumbles Under Pressure
Elena and Georgina must face a daunting challenge called "Ladies Night." The jungle is momentarily transformed into a "Lying Down Jungle." They must each enter a pit-like grave with number codes matched to seven star-studded number locks. Once cracked, terrifying animals will be unleashed in the dark dungeon...
But not before Elena cracks under the pressure and bursts into tears, shouting, "I can't do this!" She's scared of being "buried alive" in there. In her distress, her rival Georgina Fleur surprisingly offers comfort without hesitation. Ultimately, Elena abandons the trial after merely a few seconds with the words, "I'm a star, get me out of here."
The formidable challenge concludes prematurely, and the triumphant Elena shortly leaves the jungle - leaving behind a request for Gigi to win the competition for her.
Elena Attacks Georgina After the Trial
In her post-trial interview, Elena continues to attack Georgina, stating, "Georgina is still in the game. I let her have it, but I have to say, she's just sleeping. I should still be in the game, but that's life, and you have to accept it." Despite everything, she remains incredibly proud of herself and her journey, showcasing "who I am and what I can do."
Alpha and Georgina discuss the celebration of Thorsten's departure by his allies, viewing it as a strategic move trying to boost their own chances of winning the jungle crown.
During the internal debate about nominating a contestant for elimination, Kader and Eric choose to side with group solidarity and avoid personal victory.
