Lucas Cordalis was asked at the reunion after the final what he would say about his mother-in-law Iris Klein’s gaffes. Among other things, she had pestered that Gigi was a “sick ass” and Djamila a “slut”. Cordalis tried the diplomatic route. “We should leave the church in the village,” he stoned. He had finished third and that was worthy of all honor. You can almost feel sorry for the 55-year-old. Has been singing his father’s hits for 30 years and married into the Ludwigshafen proll milieu. And then he has the chance to step out of the shadow of Costa and the “cat” – and is remembered as a show-off, egomaniac and caustic wisecracker.
RTL didn’t spare him the clips, in which he wasn’t the nice guy he always tries to portray himself as. Above all, his allegedly homophobic “You have more practice in swallowing” saying to dads and Gigi will stick to his image. Or his impudence towards Djamila, who he denied the right to speak out on the subject of family – since she grew up in the home. Luxury childhood against a fate in the GDR youth depot. More FDP is not possible. Gigi was probably not entirely wrong when he once said on the jungle phone: “Lucas has the smallest eggs I’ve ever seen.”
But the pop singer was lucky. The poison darts didn’t fly at him because another ex-camper got all the attention. Oh Cosimo, you great, great entertainer and weak, weak person. Don’t know if he whistled to himself before the show or if it was actually because he only slept for an hour – the 41-year-old was blown away. Again and again his facial features slipped into a semi-idiot grin, and he kept winking at the camera. In between he talked nonsense. From “wrestling” with its “treasure”, for example, all extremely uncomfortable.
And then the storm broke over him. Above all, Cecilia and Papis covered the “Checker” with allegations. After the finale at the Versace, he behaved “absolutely disrespectfully” towards various people. “That’s where you showed your true colors,” Cecilia yelled. That was too much for Cosimo. With the words “I’m not giving you the airtime,” he stormed out of the studio. Into the general dismay, dads sent the subterranean saying: “Fat, big, giant baby”. Are you crazy?
What exactly was behind the tumult was not clarified on the show. Somehow they put on a good face and carried out the planned clips, interviews and competitions. After a while, Cosimo returned from the set and apologized to the production “for the circumstances”. But the next broadside was already waiting for him. This time by his buddy Gigi. “GiCo” were the good mood guarantors in the camp for several episodes. “Dick und Doof” in super smart and super weird. In the second week, the development of the two then went in different directions. Gigi became the more serious Luigi, Cosimo ran out of breath. But they still remained a double – until yesterday.
“I found out,” said Gigi, “that you spoke badly about me before camp.” He did not want to reveal who the mysterious informant was. Jolina, who had already clashed with Cosima in the jungle and called him a “clown” several times, continued straight away. “You’re stabbing me in the back like a fake snake,” she roared at him, “and pretend to be a victim. You’re not a victim. Stand your ground!” Here, too, the motives for the sudden eruption remained unclear.
For Cosimo, his heroic journey thus came to a tragic end. Others take something positive from the jungle. Verena realized that her performance was rather difficult in terms of “laughing”. Tessa has – quite surprisingly – found a “great little family” in the camp. Markus can imagine becoming a vegan. And for Djamila, Her Majesty with shirt number 13, the time under the palm trees was “therapy for the soul”. Now all she needs is a king by her side. Hopefully Ennesto Monté is not free right now.
