Overview
- Producers reseated two audience members in a contestant’s direct sightline after Jauch paused the show over potential inadvertent signaling.
- Jauch withdrew a flippant remark to funeral director Alida Nezamzadeh Kermani and apologized immediately during the broadcast.
- Frustrated by selection questions he called unreasonable, Jauch warned on air he would abort the program if similar items returned.
- After wrongly affirming an audience suggestion (“Narnia”) as correct in a literature question, Jauch acknowledged the error and handed the guest €100 as consolation.
- Finalists continued to emerge ahead of Friday’s decider, with Carolin Schönknecht-Albinus at €125,000 and others including Alida Nezamzadeh Kermani (€32,000), Emily Enders (€32,000) and Leonard Sträter (€16,000), while Nelio Stelli fell to €500 on a missed KfW question.
