Attention centered on mistakes by the politician offspring, raising questions about the inverted quiz’s appeal.

Overview

  • ProSieben’s six-episode quiz launched on 1 September with Amira Aly and Christian Düren hosting a format that eliminates contestants for correct answers.
  • Early audience figures reported about 600,000 total viewers and a 5.6% share in the 14–49 demographic, according to DWDL reporting.
  • Gloria-Sophie Burkandt failed to identify Helmut Kohl and misnamed the current pope, then apologized on Instagram and later offered explanations for the lapses.
  • Joe Laschet said he had informed his father Armin Laschet beforehand, who joked he should exit quickly, while Burkandt had not told her father Markus Söder.
  • Newsreader Marc Bator left the competition in the premiere, while Burkandt and Joe Laschet continue into the next episode.
