Overview
- The four-night special airs at 20:15 on RTL and streams live and on demand on RTL+, with no linear TV repeats planned after first broadcast.
- Contestants play three preliminary nights to reach at least €16,000 and qualify for the Oct. 9 final.
- Günther Jauch continues as host, and his spontaneous remarks—such as saying he does not use WhatsApp—have drawn fresh attention to the show.
- Recent episodes highlighted high-risk outcomes: Marc exited at the €125,000 question, Babette Rüster was eliminated at €8,000 after a brash aside, and Alexander Krein took €32,000.
- In the latest broadcast, Ingolstadt’s Nina Pfister left with €16,000, matching the upcoming qualifier threshold, while any claim on the €3 million remains unresolved.
