Stefan Raab has satirized the Jungle Camp in a special edition of his show on RTL, targeting contestants like Gil Ofarim and Ariel. The program aired for the first time on Tuesday evening, following day five of 'I'm a Celebrity – Get Me Out of Here!', where Ofarim hints at a comeback and Ariel celebrates unexpected successes.
On Tuesday evening, RTL broadcast the first episode of a Jungle special edition of the 'Stefan Raab Show.' The 30-minute program, set to satirically comment on 'I'm a Celebrity – Get Me Out of Here!' in six episodes, followed the established post-show analysis by experts like Olivia Jones and Angela Finger-Erben. Raab, 59, dubbed the Australian bush format 'disgusting television' and showed little interest in it. He mispronounced contestant Ariel's name, mocked Samira Yavuz's nose, expressed disgust toward Stephen Dürr, and summed up the camp as 'the end station for celebrities too stupid to dance.' He sharply reinterpreted Gil Ofarim's scandal in the 'Star of David affair' and the 'Money or Gil' contestant's dentistry studies – 'We can talk about that later,' Raab said, after his own teeth had been noted by RTL colleagues. Jungle veteran Sonja Zietlow responded slyly: 'Stefan Raab will process everything from today that Jan, I, Olivia Jones, and Angela left behind.' The two experts bid him farewell with 'Make something of it!' Raab's comeback at RTL after switching from rival ProSieben has been challenging; his previous show 'You Won't Win the Million with Stefan Raab' was canceled. Nevertheless, the channel announced a new Saturday night show with Raab and Barbara Schöneberger, 51, for spring. In the Jungle Camp itself, on day five, Gil Ofarim (43) hopes for a comeback after his scandal where he fabricated antisemitism allegations. By the campfire, he told Dürr (51): 'I'm here among other things to do something I still have to do' and 'In a year, I'll be on stage – this can't be it.' He cited a nondisclosure agreement; his lawyer Alexander Stevens confirmed this on Instagram. Dürr remained skeptical: 'I don't believe the jungle can be a new start for Gil.' Ariel (22) surprised with four stars from the disgust cellar after prior failures and hugged her fellow campers. Hosts Sonja Zietlow and Jan Köppen called it a 'plot twist.' Tensions between older participants like Simone Ballack (49) and Hardy Krüger jr. (57) and younger ones like Ariel, Samira Yavuz (32), and Umut Tekin (28) persist; Ballack criticized: 'They only have one topic: Who sleeps with whom.' Hunger, rain, and bed disputes shape daily life, with Dürr sharing a near-death experience from alcohol.
