Overview

• Natascha and Wilson Gonzalez Ochsenknecht defeated Verona and Diego Pooth for €100,000 around 1:50 a.m., with “Fang den Hut” replacing the planned “Halten” as the decider.
• Verona Pooth was struck on the thigh by a rotating crank in the opening game, was examined by a doctor backstage, and returned to win the first round with her son.
• A technical failure briefly halted “Blamieren oder kassieren” when the buzzers stopped working, forcing an on‑air pause before play resumed.
• Host Matthias Opdenhövel teased audience member Jimi Blue Ochsenknecht about the prize money, and Jimi replied jokingly, “Na, das bleibt dann bei mir.”
• Viewer comments were sharply divided over the teams and the fairness of the substitution, as the broadcast drew about 270,000 viewers in the 14–49 demo and roughly 850,000 overall, and Wilson Gonzalez’s ZDF series “Späti” was announced to continue.
