The heart of “I’m a Star – Get Me Out of Here!” are the disgusting jungle tests.
But which jungle camp candidate has to face their fears at the start?
Murwillumbah - In the jungle test, the jungle camp candidates are usually faced with sheer horror - but at the same time an opportunity to prove themselves to their competitors and the RTL viewers.
The latter watch in front of their television screens at home, sometimes gleefully and sometimes enthusiastically, as the celebrities have to face unsavory, disgusting tasks day after day.
Ultimately, however, these are a large part of the appeal of the reality show.
Defiance-disgust factor simply cult: the jungle camp and its tough tests
It's correspondingly exciting when it's decided who will have to fight for the coveted stars in the next "I'm a Star - Get Me Out of Here!" episode.
The number they earn ultimately determines what and how much the jungle camp candidates get to eat.
In the first week, the audience decides by phone who will face the test.
A pattern always emerges: The “I’m a star – get me out of here!” fans seem to prefer to choose women for the jungle test.
The undefeated record holder is “Goodbye Germany” emigrant Danni Büchner (45): She had to compete a total of twelve times in season 14 in 2020.
After years, she replaced the previous record holder Larissa Marolt (31), who had to face all kinds of disgusting harassment a total of ten times in 2014.
Befitting jungle camp start: All candidates have to take part in the food test
At the start of the new jungle camp season (on January 19th from 8:15 p.m. on RTL) we are following a tried and tested tradition.
As befits their status, all celebrities are sent through the exam together on day one.
This is also the case in season 17, as a first glimpse on

shows in advance.
The task itself is tough: Right from the start, “Würg & Travel” is one of the infamous food tests.
This seems to pose a real challenge to influencer Twenty4Tim (23) and “Bachelor” candidate Leyla Lahouar (27) in particular: they are choking and suffering a lot.
In the coming days, the fate of the jungle campers will be entirely in the hands of the viewers: They will initially decide by voting who they want to see in the test and will then be allowed to select the candidates as usual from week two.
Things were already strict for them in advance: each jungle camp star had their own bodyguard at their side, who accompanied them at all times in Australia.
