"As celebrities, you have shaped society for years": Jenny Frankhauser
Photo: Willi Weber / SAT.1The split of the hour: What one looks at in real life is the entertainment principle: The separation into privileged and less privileged candidates. This folklorized poor-rich dualism and slapstick classicism forces "Celebrity Big Brother" to invent two metaphorical worlds anew every season, which symbolizes this top capitalist split in the container society in a strikingly mutilated way the others in the "below", sometimes one separated into "house" and "sewer" or into "everything" and "nothing". This year some are starving in the "fairy tale forest" while the others are residing in the "fairy tale castle": Very plausible, because wasn't Rumpelstiltskin, at the bottom of his agitated heart, just a social revolutionary who was left behind? When will the producers finally come up with the most obvious split setting - and name the carpaccio chalet "Arte" and the misery area "RTL2"?
Carpaccio chalet "Arte", misery area "RTL2"? Senay Gueler
Photo: Willi Weber / SAT.1The tragedy of format I: Originally, the attraction of all celebrity roadblock formats was fed by the cracks that the previously carefully cultivated image of prominent people got because it could not be maintained forever under permanent observation, even with the greatest possible composure. And this public polished profile had to burst at some point like too tight show trousers with seams that had been strained for too long with the greatest tension, and finally the view of the dingy underpants underneath was free. So, as a viewer, at best you saw how they all really are. In the meantime you have to laboriously find out who they really are. And not only as a spectator, but also as a participant - the candidates flocculate into individual celebrity lumps like old milk: The young Trashlinge from "Berlin Day and Night", "Love Island" and "Beauty & the Nerd" seem to be instinctive to one another to recognize like related animals, but have no idea who the former tennis great Claudia Kohde-Kilsch is and consider Kathy Kelly to be "the mother" of the singing clan - and vice versa. At least there are docking points: DJ and model Senay Gueler is delighted when he recognizes sports commentator Werner Hansch (at 82 years the oldest celebrity BB participant of all time) by the voice because he once spoke a football simulation for the Playstation. To sum it up with the words of the Big Brother voiceover: "As celebrities, you have shaped society for years."
Mother of a singing clan or what? Candidate Kathy Kelly
Photo: Willi Weber / SAT.1The scariest chimera : The biggest disappointment of the fairytale setting is that it is not inhabited by talking wolves or by animal formations stacked like a Tetris. With Emmy Russ, rather not known as the easily irritable Lippinchen from the lookism spectacle "Beauty & the Nerd", at least one strange creature has moved in, who apparently has been piecing together Evelyn Burdecki and Katja Krasavice from the trash prototypes to a new version of the stupid sex roast became like one of those horse costumes in which two people are stuck and who are now messing around rather tragically. So Emmy talks a bit about things and a bit more about bums and then quickly slips into fecal frivolity, explains in detail her fascination for farts and would like to watch when her boyfriend "does poop". Moments in which Freud would have reconsidered his career choice.

Photo: Willi Weber / SAT.1Emotional outburst I : Only once in your life be as completely happy as the companions of the bust singer Ikke Hüftgold, that's it. Above all, the roaring streamer Knossi caused an over-euphoric riot in the studio, while at home you could calmly consider whether it was great or tragic that you recognized him immediately even at over 40 years of age.
Happy who can be close to him: Bosnian singer Ikke Hüftgold
Photo: Willi Weber / SAT.1The tragedy of format II : In the live shows with their real-time switching to the candidates, a weakness of the format has always been revealed, which everyone knows who likes to watch trash shows and therefore always tries to turn them to such rather negative friends, she So get them to tune in at least for a moment - whereupon the still to be proselytized, according to an iron law, is guaranteed to catch the blandest moment of the season and never believe anything again. In fact, you always switch to the respective container variation in the live shows when the residents are sorting themselves into groups in the most vicious fashion or putting on awkwardly ridiculous costumes.
Seeing people shine: Elene Ameur
Photo: Willi Weber / SAT.1Emotional outburst II : Elene Ameur (who would have been granted a guaranteed career as a heavy-eyed chansonaire with this name), actress of "Berlin Day and Night", humbles Jasmin Tawil, ex-actress of "Gute Zeiten, Bad Zeiten", right after she moved in in an esoteric lightning analysis: "I see you. You shine!" In a quick swagger, she then proclaims her conviction that someone who "has a pure heart" is guaranteed to win. We have mild doubts and unfortunately stay tuned.
