Overview
- Andrej Mangold re-entered the house at 14:00 on October 19, with his return shown on the 24/7 Joyn livestream.
- The vote that began Saturday night was stopped and all ballots were reset, with a new vote launched at 14:00 via telephone, SMS, and the Joyn app.
- The broadcaster says earlier votings were conducted correctly, and all calls and texts tied to the viewer prize draw remain valid.
- The precise cause of the failure has not been disclosed, following widespread viewer reports of busy lines and undelivered SMS.
- The show now proceeds toward the October 21 finale with a €100,000 prize, and reporting indicates the nominees list appears unchanged after the reset.
