Hati Suárez (26) and Alex Molz (31) are sleeping in separate beds in the “Summer House of the Stars” (Tuesday, 8:15 p.m. on RTL, also on RTL+) following the fallout from Alex’s bizarre alcohol moment in the last episode. By morning, the tension hasn’t faded. Hati tries to steer clear of Alex, but he seeks out a conversation that isn’t going to go well for him.
For Hati, her relationship with Alex is “not healthy anymore.” “My heart hurts. My mind is slipping away. You ruined everything. I’m breaking up with you now,” she says. Because Alex has become a monster in the Summer House. A shared future is out of the question: “You’re not my husband. You’re not a good man. You’ll not raise my kids.”
Alex Gets on His Knees for Hati
Hati packs her bags and leaves the Summer House. Alex runs after her along the gravel road, dropping to his knees in front of her. On the ground, he begs for one last chance. But she literally leaves him sitting there.
The break-up, after just one year together, has not only emotional but practical consequences for Alex. He must leave the “Summer House of the Stars.” After all, the show is pitched as a “battle of the celebrity couples,” and lone combatants aren’t in the plan.
Breakup Shakes Up the Dynamic in the Summer House
The split between Hati and Alex also reshuffles the dynamics inside the house. The alliance of four couples centered on Hati and Alex is now down to three: Ferry Pall (31) and Kathy Hartlieb (29), Anna Lisson (26) and Tano Milingi (25), as well as Michelle and Sandro (31) and Michelle Daniaux (27).
The rival group around Nico Legat (28) and partner Laura Parrinello (26) and Anita Latifi (30) and Fabrice (28) can now swell in numbers. Surprisingly, Ginger Costello-Wollersheim (40) and her partner Lukas Reiter (32) join them.
Ginger had, after her entry in the previous episode, lashed out at everyone, handing the shared foe to both alliances. Now she apologizes to Nico, whom she had previously accused of staying in a rehab clinic.
Having Ginger lose the closest confidant in Hati, she closens to the powerful bloc led by Anita and Nico. The trio is now three against three. Only Julian F. M. Stoeckel (39) and Marcell Damaschke (31) have remained neutral so far.
Paar verweigert Exit-Challenge – und fliegt
Dramatically, the last episode’s nominations also spotlighted an Exit Challenge for Anita and Fabrice, who had drawn the most votes. Their opponents weren’t the couples with the second-most votes; instead, the adversaries would be determined by a game.
The pairs must pedal bicycles tethered to ropes through a course and answer questions at various stations. Ginger frets over the mental challenges, mislabeling “Consonants” as a voicemail prompt. Several times she flubs the task of spelling “Banana.”
Yet, unlike the other couples, Ginger and Lukas shine on the bike portion. They are the sole couple to reach the finish, and they do so because they’re waved past the first station, sparing Ginger from having to answer the Banana question.
The pair that falters most on the course is Julian and Marcell. They must duel Anita and Fabrice in a mud-soaked challenge, crawling through muck and throwing balls into a tall basket. But Julian refuses to dirty himself on camera, and he and Marcell bail out of the challenge and leave the Summer House. Fabrice is almost disappointed that he and Anita get to stay without having to prove themselves.
For Anita and Fabrice, It Gets Tight After All
But the departure of Marcell and Julian isn’t the end of the night. Another couple gets sent packing in this episode. All pairs face off in a final test, building a stack of blocks by pressing them together, one against the other.
Ferry and Kathy, the duo who wore down from the bike game and the house quarrels, marshal their last reserves. They finish the challenge first and gain a special power: they may select one of the two weakest couples to go home.
Kathy and Ferry choose between Tano/Anna and Fabrice/Anita. Although Ferry and Kathy see Anita and Fabrice as the weaker opponents, they send the feuding couple packing. After their earlier “get-out-of-jail free” in the Exit Challenge, Anita and Fabrice are finally out.

Trotz schnellen Abgangs: “Sommerhaus”-Zeit war für schwules Paar lukrativ
For Julian and Marcell, the short stint in the House of the Stars apparently paid off. The duo had joined in Episode 5 (TheColu.mn reported). In a prior interview with web.de, Julian explained that RTL was very flexible on the fee: “It quickly became clear RTL was keen on having the Stoeckels on board,” he recalled. “When it came to the pay, I told them: not for that kind of money—no way. Then RTL called again and simply offered a good deal: I was booked as a late entrant for what I believe was the historically highest fee ever paid to a latecomer. And I think that’s totally fair and appropriate, and I thank RTL for that.” (spot)
