In the 13th episode of RTL's 'I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!', Eva Benetatou (33) was voted out of the jungle camp by viewers. She departed gracefully, as campmate Ariel continued to taunt Gil Ofarim. Ofarim's lawyer revealed that the singer plans to pay 40,000 euros in compensation to the hotel employee from the 2021 scandal.
Eva Benetatou (33) has left the jungle camp in Australia. In the 13th episode of RTL's reality show 'I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!', she received the fewest viewer votes and was thus eliminated. Despite sadness, she appeared relieved: 'We were all a supermega cool team,' she said after the announcement. Together with Ariel (22), Eva had shone in a treasure hunt, but it wasn't enough. Now seven candidates remain.
Among them is Gil Ofarim (43), who fell during a jungle trial the previous day. In Tuesday's episode, he was taken to the hospital but received the all-clear and returned to camp. Ofarim commented: 'I'm glad nothing worse happened. I'm grateful for how I was taken care of yesterday.' Ariel seized the chance to attack him: 'What's your plan here now? Because you can't do anything anymore,' she asked. Ofarim replied: 'Get fit as quickly as possible so I can do things again.' She pressed: 'Is that because you want to win? You said you're here just for fun. Or for the money?' He responded: 'I would also – just like you, just like everyone here – want to win.' Host Jan Köppen confirmed that Ofarim can participate in trials again.
Meanwhile, Ofarim's lawyer Alexander Stevens discussed the Leipzig criminal case in an Instagram Live with judge Thorsten Schleif. The court dropped the proceedings, deeming Ofarim's public apology and payments sufficient. He had donated 10,000 euros to charities and promised the hotel employee 40,000 euros in pain and suffering compensation – an amount he didn't have at the time. Stevens: 'It was 40,000 euros' and hinted that the jungle camp could provide financial relief: 'This jungle camp isn't always a curse, but sometimes a blessing.' Ofarim is now advised to remain silent.
In another trial, Simone Ballack (49), Hardy Krüger jr. (57), and Samira Yavuz (32) made up for what Ariel and Eva had previously failed. In 'Kotzella,' they searched for keys in disgusting settings and freed six out of eight stars from snake crates.
