In the first episode of the new season of “Battle of the Reality Stars”, the first conflicts are already indicated. Especially Tessa polarized.
After last year’s top-class round – with trash nobility from Claudia Obert (60) to Prince Frederic (78) – the ensemble of the new season of “Kampf der Realitystars” initially seems pale. At least on paper. “Bauer sucht Frau” cult figure Schäfer Heinrich (55), “Germany’s next top model” candidate Tessa Bergmeier (32), “Berlin – Day & Night” actor Jan Leyk (37), “It-Girl” Nina Kristin (39 ), TV detective Sharon Trovato (30), reality noses Elena Miras (29) and Yasin Mohamed and former “Judge Merciless” Ronald Schill (63) are the first celebrities in Thailand.
Tessa’s veganism is too eccentric for the stars
However, the potential for escalation quickly crystallizes around Tessa. Since participating in “GNTM”, the model has been labeled as a “bitch”. Her fellow candidates don’t seem to make any move to give her a chance without prejudice. Elena is pissed off from the start because Tessa doesn’t seem to have greeted her as enthusiastically as the others.
When Tessa comes out as a vegetarian while eating, the rest of the celebs are horrified. Such exotic behavior is simply too much for such a format. Schäfer Heinrich sees his livelihood at risk. You can’t live on wool alone. And the price of wool is already falling anyway. At the latest when Tessa announces that she doesn’t want to kiss a meat eater, Jan’s oven is off too. He then criticizes Tessa in a one-on-one interview for being incapable of criticism, without letting her speak.
Iris Klein is only present virtually
In the first “punishment game” the first self-image shatters. The reality stars have to compare their self-perception with that of the viewers. Elena’s first tears flow. When asked what the viewers surveyed in advance would like to do with her, the answer is not even sex, as the stars had typed, but just “nothing”. As a punishment for the few matches in the game, the reality participants will have to accompany the colleagues who have to go to the toilet as a team. But going to the toilet together brings the team together.
The next morning, the next two celebs arrive. “Junk Squad” protagonist Mauro Corradino (51) and Iris Klein (54). The mother of reality icon Daniela Katzenberger (35) is initially only present virtually. She is in hotel quarantine because of corona disease. But she is present via a screen mounted on a clothes stand.
The newcomers do not have to complete the first game. Would be difficult with a clothes rack too. Because every two celebrities have to unroll and roll up a large spool of thread as human coils. The direction naturally ties Elena and Tessa together. The model gives the TV star poisoned compliments, the two will probably no longer be friends.
Bromance between Jan and Heinrich
Instead, a real “bromance” is brewing between Jan and Schäfer Heinrich, as the former says. The two win the reel game. One of them is safe from the first eviction. Jan generously leaves the right to Heinrich. The shepherd is touched by Jan’s greatness and in general by the sympathy of his colleagues, whom he calls his “little fellows”.
But a sheep has to go to the slaughterhouse in the very first show. As newcomers, Mauro and Iris have to decide. In the preliminary talk between the two, Iris suggests Jan for the shooting, he had probably criticized her on Instagram. Mauro fights for Jan, he believes in his good core. The TV dabbler has also grown fond of Tessa, together with Ronald he forms the Tessa team, while Elena and Jan are clearly opposed to the model.
Ultimately, the ostracism hits Sharon. The detective gave Mauro and Iris the impression that they didn’t feel comfortable in the camp. So Sharon has to move out. But the spokesman hints that the farewell may not last.
After the nomination round, the first real scandal erupted. Elena is sad about the departure of her confidants and gets upset when Tessa, Roland and Mauro start laughing again. When Jan comes to Elena’s aid and criticizes Mauro, he goes nuts. Against the instructions of the unit manager, he leaves his place. He seems to regret that he fought for Jan. In the first episode there is already enough spark for the next episodes.
