  • Singer Eric Philippi, previously announced for the run, canceled due to illness and confirmed on Instagram that he has withdrawn from all weekend appearances, including the Oct. 12 show.
  • The second episode is scheduled to air on Oct. 12 but was recorded on Oct. 3, with guests including Nicole, Beatrice Egli and Eloy de Jong.
  • ZDF continues reinforced security for Andrea Kiewel and the production, with bodyguards on site, bag checks and restrictions on open kitchen knives reported by participants and the network.
