Overview
- In the semifinal on Sunday, Christian Lell and Gedeon Burkhard were voted out, leaving Gia Georgina, Nadja Benaissa, Axel Schulz, Francesca Morgese and Maurice Dziwak as the five finalists for the €100,000 prize.
- Contestants set the first nomination list themselves and viewers decided the outcome by phone votes, with Lell receiving the fewest calls in his first-ever nomination and Burkhard losing a head‑to‑head duel against Axel Schulz.
- Axel Schulz advanced after receiving a surprise video message from his partner, while Francesca and Gia secured finalists by winning protection games and naming other contestants to advance.
- Coverage since the evictions has focused on Lell's polarizing behavior in the house, including on‑camera remarks about past same‑sex experiences and flirtations that repeatedly clashed with other residents.
- Post‑exit fallout intensified when Lell's manager said he advised an 'egoshow' approach and the pair faced critical questioning on the late‑night companion show, a sequence that is shaping viewer opinion ahead of the live finale.
