Wer Wird Millionär? 3‑Millionen‑Woche Finale Delivers Best Share Since January After High‑Risk Plays and On‑Air Mea Culpa

Strong viewership highlighted a format that makes finalists stake earlier winnings for a shot at €3 million.

Overview

  • RTL’s quiz averaged 3.37 million viewers and an 18.2% market share, its best since January, while denting The Voice of Germany and The Connection on the same night.
  • Host Günther Jauch admitted feeling prejudiced when he first saw a headscarf‑wearing audience joker, said he was ashamed, and the jurist correctly identified Article 4(3) as grounds to refuse military service.
  • Jauch also wrongly confronted a spectator over a misvote, then apologized on air and slipped her money before locating the actual participant who voted incorrectly.
  • Christopher Suhr exited with €55,000; Sandra Pedersen swapped €64,000 for a €16,000 guarantee and later fell back to that sum after a wrong answer; Marc Offenbacher plunged to €500 after trusting a studio guest’s faulty World Cup‑finals tip.
  • Comedian Sascha Korf finished on €20,003.70 after needing help on a darts question, and the finale is now available for streaming on RTL+.
