Deja Vu at Sandt Beach

Shock for Eva Benetatou: Her old “summer house” rival Tim Sandt moves into “Battle of the Reality Stars”.
The first newcomer in the third episode of “Kampf der Realitystars” (Wednesday, 8:15 p.m. on RTLzwei, also on RTL+) pulls out straight away. No, not completely like Uschi Hopf (81) in episode one. Bernd Kieckhäben (32) only lifts his toupee and reveals a bald head.
Kiekhäben was with DSDS in 2009 under the name Benny, but also learned a decent job. The master hairdresser has his own salon. He only sings and writes songs on the side.
New look for Manni
Matthias Mangiapane (39) is looking forward to a fellow countryman from the Palatinate with whom he can speak in dialect. The women are happy about a hairdresser, Bernd gives her equally beautiful “flescht hairstyle”. Then comes Manni Ludolf (60) turn. “A bit of the shag away” Manni wishes from Bernd. And he actually conjures up a serious short haircut.
Manni feels like “reborn”, strutting through the sala. Nevertheless, he wants to stay true to himself with the new “physics teacher” look (Serkan Yavuz, 29): “But the old Manni still stays inside”.
False start at Sandt beach
In the second boat there is only a suitcase full of sand. Eva Benetatou (31) has bad thoughts. The sand can only be a reference to Sandt, Tim Sandt (33). The husband and manager of singer Annemarie Eilfeld (32) once belonged to the “Summer House of the Stars” to the bully pack that Eva had on Kieker. He even called her and partner Chris Broy (33) “rats” at the time.
Of course Eva is right. Tim Sandt actually moves in. In front of the assembled team, she confronts him with the sins of the past. Tim shows little remorse, only apologizes half-heartedly. Eva lets the lack of insight burst into tears. Tears are also flowing with Tim because of the less than warm welcome. Eva and Tim only speak out the next morning.
In the punishment game, the reality stars have to complete proverbs. In addition to a knowledge quiz, the biggest conceivable challenge in this format. Only Matthias Mangiapane (39) and Giulia Siegel (48) deliver. As punishment, the sleeping area of the sala is cordoned off. Since Matthias and Giulia only played five seconds each, the stars only have ten seconds to get blankets from the dormitory to make themselves reasonably comfortable on the terrace.
Bye or eviction: Wheel of Destiny
The Starblitz brings ambivalent news. The reality stars have to choose someone from their midst to get an envelope. This is either a safety ticket to the next episode or an expulsion.
Each candidate must designate a colleague whose photo will be attached to a wheel. This is then rotated, and whoever the pointer points to gets the ticket to safety or to perdition. Only three celebrities land on the bike. Daniel Schmidt (39) not only gets negative votes from competitor Serkan. Uschi is also mentioned more often. Some want to give the senior a kind of coup de grace, others want to protect her from the rigors of the safety game.
The universe saves Sarah
Paul uses the nomination for a surprising settlement with Sarah Knappik (36). It only appears to be a Sarah 2.0, according to the original bachelor. In addition, she wanted to saw him off in the first episode, only a win in the safety game protected him at the time.
The wheel of destiny chooses Sarah. The envelope contains, as you might expect, a ticket to the next round. “The universe wants me to stay here” cheers the former “GNTM” candidate.
As a further reward, Sarah can choose the teams for the decider. A reality star stays over so can’t gamble for his safety. Sarah chooses Antonia Hemmer (22). For protection. After all, she had suffered sunstroke and spent the night in the hotel.
A poisoned gift. Antonia would have preferred to fight for a safety ticket – even though she can barely stand.
First double exit of the season
In the safety game, the duo Giulia and Daniel, determined by Sarah, prevailed. They steered the fastest through an obstacle course.
So you’re safe for the first double kick of the season. Not only the new Bernd and Tim choose a star, but also the remaining candidates by ostracism.
Bernd and Tim now give Uschi the overdue coup de grace. The 81-year-old had let it be known that being voted out would not be a problem for her. The coin vote by colleagues against Antonia also seemed like a salvation for the viewer – even if she probably saw it differently. But physically, the “Bauer sucht Frau” candidate still seemed pretty tired.
