Overview

• Six finalists—Sara Kulka, Patricia Blanco, Steven Graf Bernadotte von Wisborg, Manni Ludolf, Raúl Richter and Jasmin Herren—will vie for the dwindling jackpot on 25 August.
• The communal prize has plummeted from €250,000 at the show’s start to roughly €30,600 following contestant expenditures including €1,500 pizza orders, €2,000 master-bedroom nights and two producer-led price increases.
• Episode 7 featured Sara Kulka’s revelation that she was conceived through rape and that she battled addiction to tobacco, cannabis, ecstasy and crystal meth before turning her life around through work and motherhood.
• In the same episode Jasmin Herren disclosed she has a biological daughter with whom she has had no contact for four weeks, prompting public and family backlash over her private disclosures.
• Jimi Blue Ochsenknecht and Kevin Schäfer were eliminated in episode 7, reducing the field to the six finalists ahead of the big finale.
