Overview

• On Tuesday's show, contestant Annalena Ziege said 'Qantas' for €64,000 after a countdown from host Günther Jauch, tried to withdraw the response, then learned the already logged answer was correct before choosing to stop later on.
• On Monday, Christopher Suhr's phone‑a‑friend to his mother went unanswered; he progressed using other help and finished with €32,000, which meets the threshold for the week’s €3 million final.
• Anna Maria Kronberg declined to risk the €16,000 question on Germany’s happiest big cities and left with €8,000; the show later cited the Allensbach Glücksatlas placing Kassel first and Bochum 26th.
• A separate segment highlighted contestant confusion over mentioning ages on air, with Jauch explaining the program’s practice of not stating a woman’s age.
• Jauch underscored his influence in a recent podcast, saying the show’s success rests on four pillars—audience, RTL, advertisers and himself—and that losing any one would end it.
