RTL Zwei Drops Participant Over Extremist Content as New Episodes Chart Diverging Paths on Bürgergeld

The broadcaster underscores an editorial red line against extremist views.

Overview

  • Producers ended cooperation with Jerome after discovering right‑wing content and a Reichsflagge in his home, stating the show will not platform such views.
  • Mannheim’s Jerrick seeks to reapply for Bürgergeld after cutting back to a Minijob, saying €560 does not cover living costs, his health insurance is incomplete, and he has been homeless for two years.
  • Pamela declares she wants a full‑time job to leave the Jobcenter, arguing continued reliance on benefits would leave her worse off.
  • Other storylines show refusal or short‑lived work attempts, with Carola’s park‑cleaning stint ending after two days due to a finger injury and Melanie saying she does not want to work as she nears childbirth.
  • Berlin’s Steven reiterates he does not intend to work and describes alleged payouts for acknowledging paternities while he is reported to be under investigation for insurance fraud.
