Last day in the “Summer House of the Stars” (Sunday, 8:15 p.m. on RTL, also on RTL). But before the semi-finals and finals, there is still the “final of the original couples” (quote Patrick Romer, 26): The Exit Challenge, in which Cosimo Citiolo (40) and Nathalie Gaus (31) against Patrick and Antonia Hemmer (22). fight for a place among the last three couples.
The game is the same as the exit challenge between Stephen (48) and Katharina Dürr (39) as well as Kader Loth (49) and Ismet Atli (51) what felt like an eternity ago: playing catch through a parkour full of mud and locked garden gates. The favorites Patrick and Antonia clearly prevail in two rounds.
Cosimo, who wanted to quit in the penultimate episode, is now finally out. He doesn’t want to look for mistakes. “Actually, you’re already a mistake as a human being when you’re born,” philosophizes the fan favorite. Unlike most other couples in the “Summer House” story, he sees himself as a winner. Because the love between him and Nathalie has grown stronger here instead of weaker, he says.
The three remaining couples don’t have that impression. Just out of boredom, they get on each other’s nerves in the now almost empty summer house. Christina Grass (34) and Marco Cerullo (33) stress each other out playfully. And the duo Diogo Sangre (27) and Vanessa Mariposa (29), who have been so harmonious so far, are bickering about whether Vanessa is in such a bad mood because she has her days or just because. And Patrick complains, as always, about his allegedly not enough motivated Antonia.
Then comes the end: the semi-finals are coming up. Teams must use their fingers to fumble eggs along a lattice fence. The problem: The couples are each in a large jacket, each has only one hand available. Patrick holds back on his relationship with nagging and reprimanding. That’s why the “Bauer sucht Frau” couple is clearly in the lead.
The other couples, on the other hand, constantly snap at each other, like usually Patrick against Antonia – only that with them both parties bicker. But then Christina and Marco get going and close in on the leaders. Suddenly Vanessa and Diogo get the hang of it and start a strong race to catch up. But it’s not enough. You can only maneuver 14 eggs to the finish line without an accident, the other pairs manage 15 each. So the last pair moved into the summer house is out.
So it comes to the epic finale between Antonia/Patrick and Christina/Marco – the couple of the first hour against the latecomers. Patrick tries one last time to bite his girlfriend. But he has not yet been able to implement Mario Basler’s (53) advice to bring his girlfriend with him. He alone is to blame for this. Instead of positively motivating Antonia, he just put her down. “Le Maschine” Patrick’s advice for the finale: “Just think what would Patrick do now”.
In any case, Antonia is clearly stepping on the gas in the final. The pairs have to shovel sand out of a huge sack. Puzzle pieces with the faces of the couples are waiting under the heavy container. They have to arrange them correctly on a wall. Both pairs shovel the sand away at about the same speed. Marco and Christina are first on the picture wall. But then they suddenly poison each other and lose concentration. Patrick and Antonia catch up – and win. The favorites of the first hour actually made it. Although he had the brake pad on Antonia’s leg, Patrick will now think.
The couple’s final move in the finale is symbolic of their relationship throughout the season: To place the puzzle pieces in the top row, Patrick climbs onto the back of Antonia, who is squatting on the floor.
