In the latest episode of “Battle of the Reality Allstars,” the stakes are rising: host Arabella Kiesbauer (57) had recently teased a Safety Chain on the segment known as the “Hour of Truth.” In this twist, celebrities take turns naming someone they want to protect, and whoever remains at the end has to leave. The new arrivals Cecilia Asoro (30) and Maurice Dziwak (27) kick off the chain in the most recent installment, aired Wednesday on RTLZWEI.
As the first link, they pick Maurice’s rival Serkan Yavuz (33). Maurice wants to topple him “on the field.” That line of thinking is familiar from several reality formats. The tactic, though, rarely pays off for those who invoke it.
At the end of the chain, Sam Dylan faces a choice between Schäfer Heinrich (57) and Giuliana Farfalla (30). Normally, he would eliminate Giuliana, who is Georgina Fleur’s (36) closest confidante. But since Sam has just brokered a fragile ceasefire with Georgina, taking out Giuliana would be unwise. So he sends the widely beloved Heinrich to his flock rather than risk the peace.
Yeliz against Paco: Starfish Pose and a Dried Raisin
Back in the Saloon, the Allstars find themselves navigating physical and emotional intimacy. Cecilia convinces Maurice of the benefits of a “po shower.” Yeliz Koc (32) and Paco Herb (30) tease why they never became a couple, despite a brief dating phase that began on “Battle of the Realitystars.” Paco tosses out that he nodded off during their small talk. Yeliz counters that she dozed off during a completely different activity. Paco then riffs on starfish and a solid side-position as Yeliz’s preferred poses.
Then the dating-show veteran grows serious. He reveals that after a period of repeatedly “delivering” in bed, he has developed something like a sex-block. He describes feeling like a “dried raisin.” Yeliz admires the candor, noting that it’s brave for a short-term flirt-as-a-man to speak so openly on these topics.
“Likeable Evil” and “Likeable Homosexual”
Two new Allstars arrive on the Thai sands. First comes Matthias Mangiapane (42). The gay star from “Hot or Not” labels himself as “Dynamite” and as the “likeable evil.” He is followed by Gino Bormann (38), a drag artist who introduces himself with a playful understatement as the “likeable homosexual.”
Two male divas at once—Sam Dylan might be feeling a twinge of jealousy. At least that’s the impression the montage leaves. Matthias and Gino plan a little housekeeping in the Saloon, with a particular target: Yeliz. They see her as dull, just as Paco does. Matthias even brands her as “dead furniture” that should be cleared away.
When the episode’s first game begins, the stars are in for a surprise. Arabella Kiesbauer—usually the host of the “Hour of Truth”—steps in personally to guide the challenge. This isn’t a standard Safety Game. Instead, every contestant who has already been ousted during this Allstar season is brought back into the arena.
Kader Loth Returns with Authority
Gino and Matthias are allowed to pick an ex-contestant who may immediately rejoin the show. They can also select a Saloon resident who will have to square off in the ring with the returning players. The newcomers enlist Kader Loth (53) to re-enter the Saloon. She has Yeliz in her sights—not because she finds the Bachelor-cult icon dull, but because she suspects Yeliz is the power behind the group led by Paco and Serkan.
So Yeliz must step into the ring. If she loses, she heads to the hotel immediately. First, the contestants must stomach some revolting delicacies. Those who make it past the tasting can dive into a slime-filled pool to earn stars, which are then awarded to the other contestants. The first to five stars is eliminated.
Only after Matthias Mangiapane loudly shouts instructions from the poolside do the ousted contestants swarm Yeliz. She racks up five stars first and is forced to leave the show.
The remaining players have a shot at another ticket back to the Saloon. Loona (51) fights her way back, eliminating the Morderger twins and Narumol. Schäfer Heinrich, who injured his knee, gives up after collecting four stars. The Allstars stew in protest that the Bachelor-verse icon didn’t bow out sooner; in their view, he could have handed a chance to a more willing and capable rival against Loona.
“Harassment”: Punishment for Georgina after the “Wall of Truth”
Kader and Loona are given a turn at the “Wall of Truth.” The guiding question this time: “Who does everything for attention?” The audience’s pick is, unsurprisingly, Georgina.
As punishment, the production slows her down: Georgina is fitted with an ear-piece and must follow the commands she’s given. On cue, she must either slow everything down or fall silent. She resists at first, tears streaming as she complains of “bullying” and “harassment.” Yet the lighthearted game eventually winds down.
The episode ends with a more explosive move. Before filming, fans on social media could vote for a mole. They chose Serkan. He must begin his mission in the next episode of “Battle of the Reality Allstars.”
