Overview

• Sat.1 says actor Jimi Blue Ochsenknecht will enter during the 20:15 premiere broadcast, becoming the season’s 15th resident.
• Sat.1 unveils a second area called the “Musterwohnung,” already housing Désirée Nick and Harald Glööckler with privileges such as personal clothing, food orders and a monitor view of the main area; access is controlled inside the flat with viewers able to influence changes.
• Most contestants have been in the bare-bones “Rohbau” since the weekend, where a rule requires all six outdoor beds to be occupied each night.
• Michael Naseband was chosen by fellow contestants as the first “Bauleiter,” establishing initial house leadership.
• Round-the-clock coverage is streaming free on Joyn ahead of the linear launch, and the hosts have flagged Nick, Glööckler, Christina Dimitriou and Andrej Mangold as likely drivers of early conflict.
