Overview

• Entering as a late contestant, Jimi Blue Ochsenknecht said he and ex-partner Yeliz Koc have reconciled for about a year and that things are going very well.
• He nominated Désirée Nick after alleging she repeatedly mangled Yeliz’s name, a gesture Yeliz praised on Instagram as moving.
• Nick received the most votes in the first round of nominations and clashed with fellow contestants, including a profanity-laced dispute with Erik and harsh remarks toward Doreen Dietel and Pinar Sevim.
• Jimi recounted being arrested on a European warrant in June, spending about a month across several facilities before an Austrian court imposed a fine of around €18,000, saying the ordeal was self-inflicted.
• From the studio audience, his mother Natascha described learning of his arrest as a shock and criticized the costly transfers between Germany and Austria.
