Overview

  • Pascal announced his departure from the show in a YouTube statement, alleging broken promises and copied ideas and referencing a climate of hostility.
  • Jerrick moved into his first apartment and now attends a Jobcenter measure only from 13:00 to 16:00 to handle medical appointments and set up his home.
  • Nico, 27, proclaimed he intends to draw Bürgergeld until retirement and rejects taking a job, positioning himself as a critic of the system rather than its problem.
  • Angelique and Mike are portrayed receiving roughly €3,400 a month due to a reported system error and earning extra by clearing public bookcases to resell books, with additional online income not disclosed to the Jobcenter.
  • Dennis received a four‑month, €1,500 social‑media course and a tablet funded by the Jobcenter, yet he describes taking the training primarily for personal use and shows limited commitment.
