€100,000 Win and On‑Air Reprimand Mark Second Episode of RTL’s ‘Die Unzerquizbaren’

The stronger second episode struggled in the ratings, raising questions about the show’s traction.

Overview

  • Tim Zimmermann, a 23-year-old from Wetzlar, defeated Stefan Raab and Elton to claim the €100,000 jackpot.
  • Stefan Raab drew audible pushback after linking the “handicap principle” to women’s parking spaces, prompting Laura Wontorra to respond on air, “Being a woman is not a handicap.”
  • Raab attempted to walk back the remark as Wontorra corrected him, with coverage noting the handicap principle originates in biology.
  • Viewership fell from an already weak 880,000 for the premiere to about 670,000 for the Nov. 22 episode, according to DWDL figures cited in reporting.
  • Reports highlighted that the final round’s design places the outcome in the contestant’s hands and that, despite more engaging moments, pacing issues persisted.
