Overview

• In episode two, Burkandt failed to state Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands in full, cycling through wrong variants as host Christian Düren remarked, “Das wird immer falscher.”
• After the solution was given, she said the SPD is not her party and later called it an easy mistake.
• Her latest missteps followed earlier gaffes, with this episode also featuring answers such as “Prinz Ludwig” for King Ludwig and placing the Rhine in Saarbrücken.
• Mario Basler committed multiple high-profile errors as well, including guessing “Technischer Überwachungsverkehr” for TÜV and choosing Louis van Gaal over Vincent van Gogh for the sunflower paintings.
• Because the show eliminates the strongest player each round, Joe Laschet was knocked out after a solid performance, while coverage now casts Burkandt and Basler as frontrunners for the title.
