Sat.1 Reinstates Andrej Mangold After Voting Glitch on Promi Big Brother

Sat.1 halted the contest’s phone and SMS vote after admitting a glitch, reopening balloting across platforms.

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.
