RTL throws the weekend program again properly.
Instead of music, viewers can look forward to true film classics.
A lady is the reason for the spontaneous change.
Cologne – The plan at the Cologne broadcaster RTL* is spontaneous: Shortly before the weekend, the television program was changed at short notice.
According to
DWDL.de
, the documentary series "Soundtracks for Eternity" should have provided musical entertainment on Sunday at 11:55 a.m.
Now the broadcaster relies on a dream team from the 90s and thus gives a candidate extra airtime at the start of the jungle camp.
RTL shows film classics with Tina Ruland: "Manta - Der Film"
On January 21, 2022 it's that time again: Twelve celebrities* follow the call of Sonja Zietlow* and face the adventures of the jungle camp*.
The anticipation on the part of the fans is great and RTL also seems to be unable to wait.
On Sunday, the station will broadcast the cult classic "Manta - Der Film" and will also be followed by the sequel "Manta, Manta".
The musical documentary series "Soundtracks for Eternity" has to give way to the petrol-soaked fight between Bertie and the Benz faction.
The reason for the change is likely to be the leading actress Tina Ruland, who played the hairdresser Uschi in the films.

Tina Ruland in the jungle camp: RTL changes program
Just two days after the start of the 15th season of "I'm a Star – Get Me Out of Here" the station is showing the two classic films.
Coincidence?
Not really, after all, Tina Ruland is a candidate in the jungle camp this year.
The actress became known throughout Germany with the Manta films, two decades later, due to the pandemic, she is in a bad financial position.
In her own words, she only takes part in the jungle camp for financial reasons.

The fact that Tina Ruland is a candidate at IBES also plays into the hands of RTL. The originally planned documentary series "Soundtracks for Eternity" convinced only a few viewers, the show was only able to achieve a market share of four percent in the target group last Sunday. For comparison: The jungle camp achieved 24.7% in 2020, and the show proved to be a crowd puller in previous years. Only in the last year did the values slide into the basement, like
statista.de
reported.
A possible reason for the decline in market shares was the change in the format of the show last year.
Instead of being broadcast in Australia as usual, a jungle show* was broadcast live from Cologne.
Jungle mood could only arise with difficulty.
The IBES fans were all the happier when the news broke that the jungle camp was to take place outside of Germany again in 2022.
Due to the corona virus, this time the show will be produced in South Africa instead of in Australia as before.
In order to ensure the best possible protection for the candidates, the entire IBES team had to be in quarantine before the start of production.
But despite the isolation, Tina Ruland had contact with another living being.

Disgusting critters spread around her and got her in the mood for the animal trials of the jungle.
In the jungle camp, the “Manta Manta” star has a clear goal*.
