It wasn’t enough for the crown, Felix von Jascheroff had to leave the jungle camp. In the interview he names his dream finalists.
You had to leave the camp yesterday – what conclusions and what lessons do you leave the show with?
Felix von Jascheroff: I reflected on myself a lot. At camp you also have time to think – for example, about showing more gratitude to people and the little things in life. I’ll definitely take that with me. I was also able to learn how important it is to perceive myself better in these fast-paced times with a lot of work.
What outweighs: the annoyance of not having secured the jungle crown or the joy of no longer being exposed to the discussions surrounding Kim and Mike?
Jascheroff: More like the second one (laughs). I’m really glad I don’t have to listen to Kim’s chatter around the campfire anymore.
Do you think you influenced the callers with your statement about being a “mourning cookie” and voting yourself out as a viewer?
Jascheroff: I don’t know, it certainly wasn’t my plan. I’m just damn honest. I also think it’s completely okay for a man to allow feelings and then show them. I was very emotional at that moment because it’s also a stressful time in the jungle – isolated from the outside world and away from loved ones who you miss. This can knock out even the strongest man. If you bottle up all your emotions, the big bomb will explode at some point and then things will get even worse for you afterwards.
Was the TV audience able to get to know you as you really are?
Jascheroff: In the jungle camp I was the Felix I always am: authentic and a person who always says what he thinks. I wasn’t trying to portray or play anyone. I didn’t have a plan there either. I think I was able to help some people with my knowledge, for example Tim with a few tips for his current career. That’s why I can look back with a clear conscience. I am me, that’s a good thing and that’s how it should stay.
Heinz said in the interview that after the jungle camp he wanted to visit Fabio. Which candidate would you like to meet privately after the season ends?
Jascheroff: Lucy and I will definitely meet a few more times after the jungle. She has basically become my jungle sister with whom I can talk about anything. But of course a Fabio and a Mike are also on the agenda. We all live a bit apart in Germany, but the meeting will definitely take place.
Who do you see in the finale?
Jascheroff: Lucy deserves it the most, but if I could choose, I would still like Tim and Mike in the finale. I also had very long conversations with Tim that the audience may not have even noticed. He’s a really nice guy and very ambitious – maybe a little green behind the ears. He still needs some maturity, but I think what he’s doing is right.
What are you looking forward to most now after the jungle camp?
Jascheroff: First of all, a decent bed and enough sleep. I’m looking forward to finally being able to eat what I want, when I want it – and coffee! The first one I drink will probably be a blast. Now I’m going to relax a bit and enjoy the last few days in Australia.
