The episode also featured a recap of the very first season of the hit show that Cordalis senior won at the time. His fellow camper, ex-track and field athlete Carlo Thränhardt, remembered his nightly gossip, which has become legendary, with presenter Caroline Beil. At that time he really couldn’t imagine that all of this would be broadcast, he said. His idea of the jungle camp was completely different. He thought it was a “Tarzan number”.
He was melancholy remembering Costa Cordalis, who died in 2019 – also because he is not the only candidate from the first season who is no longer alive. Werner Böhm, the singer who became known as Gottlieb Wendehals, has also died. Singer Daniel Küblböck disappeared from a cruise ship off the coast of Canada in 2018 at the age of 33. The investigators assumed suicide. The presenter of the show, Sonja Zietlow, remembered her colleague and co-presenter Dirk Bach, who moderated the jungle together with her until he died in 2012.
