Overview

• During the 9 September broadcast, host Alexander Bommes warned Annegret Schenkel to stop intervening as contestants weighed their starting positions.
• He told Schenkel he had house rights in the studio and said he was close to expelling a Chaser for the first time in 14 years.
• Reports describe Schenkel twice attempting to sway choices, first as Katharina Schwerke set her position and later during Peter Geller’s offer phase.
• The exchange highlights Bommes’ emphasis on maintaining a fair, fast-paced format on the long-running ARD quiz show.
• In the same episode, contestant Matthias managed three correct answers in the one-minute quickfire for €1,500, prompting Bommes’ quip, “Jetzt hast du mich aber hängen lassen.”
