Overview
- A young contestant, Marco Schwarz, struggled with a question about cleaning parquet and initially gave an answer production did not record, after which host Günther Jauch intervened to prompt him.
- Schwarz used the 50:50 lifeline, which removed two options but left the two answers he had already been considering, prompting an on-air complaint from Jauch.
- Despite the confusion over the logged answer and the lifeline result, Schwarz selected the correct option “nebelfeucht” and advanced to the show's final with a provisional €16,000.
- The episode is part of RTL’s “3‑Millionen‑Euro‑Woche,” a generation-themed special that features young adults this round and offers finalists a choice about risking their winnings for up to €3 million.
- Coverage highlights questions about production discretion and lifeline reliability, and viewers will learn whether Schwarz increases his prize when the Thursday final airs.
