Overview

• Sat.1 begins nightly broadcasts on October 6 as Joyn’s 24‑hour livestream, which started October 4, continues alongside the two‑week run.
• Jimi Blue Ochsenknecht joins as a live late entrant, with his recent arrest and €18,000 fine noted in coverage and his remark that he “knows what it’s like to be truly locked up.”
• This season splits a spartan Rohbau from a 120‑square‑meter luxury Musterwohnung that grants luggage access, three catered meals daily, and monitored views into the other area.
• A strict rule requires all six outdoor beds to remain occupied at all times, and Michael Naseband was elected the first “Bauleiter.”
• Désirée Nick returns claiming an unprecedented fee, while hosts Jochen Schropp and Marlene Lufen tip Nick, Harald Glööckler, Christina Dimitriou and Andrej Mangold as potential conflict drivers.
