On day 11 of the jungle camp, there was no elimination, but instead a reconciliatory gesture from Gil Ofarim to Ariel. The nine remaining candidates learned who received the fewest votes, but the resolution comes in the next episode. Gil later broke down in tears while speaking about his family.
In the episode of the RTL format "I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!" in Murwillumbah, Australia, the nine candidates were spared for now. Host Jan Köppen explained at the start that viewer votes count only for the next show. At the end, actor Stephen Dürr (51) and farmer Patrick Romer (30) were named as having the fewest votes, but there was no elimination—this caused surprise among the participants. The resolution is set for the upcoming episode.
Another surprise was singer Gil Ofarim's gesture toward reality star Ariel. Ariel had repeatedly attacked Ofarim over his 2021 Star of David scandal, in which he falsely accused hotel staff of antisemitism and later had to retract the claims. In this episode, Ariel shared that she wanted to adopt her ex-boyfriend Giuliano's daughter, but it didn't happen. Impressed by her story, Ofarim stood up and offered his hand: "I have tremendous respect for you." Ariel reacted irritated and asked "What?", but shook his hand and thanked him.
Later in the jungle phone, Ofarim spoke about his emotions: He thought of his wife and children and misses his family as well as the friends who stayed loyal. "Without them, I wouldn't be sitting here today," he said and broke down in tears.
Less successful was the jungle trial with Patrick, Simone Ballack (49), Hardy Krüger jr. (57), and Hubert Fella (58). The four had to fish tools from toilets and unscrew nine stars, but managed only three. Host Sonja Zietlow summed it up: "Screwed up."
