Day 16 in the jungle camp.

The ranks are thinning faster than Olaf Scholz's hairline.

Tonight the dream of a jungle throne has burst for two campers.

No wonder, because after all there are two strenuous weeks with infantile top dog behavior, complete overconfidence and questionable statements behind the travel group IBES.

But enough about Lucas Cordalis.

It's semi-finals and traditionally RTL goes into the enthronement show with only three finalists.

Accordingly, it is clear that the spell of the spectators from the semi-final quintet (in addition to Lucas, Djamila Rowe, Gigi Birofio, Cosimo Citiolo and Jolina Mennen) will hit more than one.

The protagonists of a jungle camp season have always given us some bon mots of intellectual tranquility for the semifinals.

The workforce in the camp is being thinned out.

At the same time, the length of a classic jungle show stupidly remains the same.

That means in the causality dilemma of the D-celebrity enclave: everyone gets more airtime.

While in week one 12 brave Prombusch residents were able to share the content delivery obligation to RTL in a way that saves resources and nerves, the entire dramaturgy expectation is now hanging on the only five voting survivors who, after two weeks of hardship, food deprivation and Lucas Cordalis slowly dozed off into a state of total mental lethargy.

Wisdom from the Sinnfluencer

The first jewel that was created in this way for the jungle eternity comes from Gigi: "The way to the semifinals didn't just have one step, it had a whole staircase." , he can still become a Sinnfluencer at StudiVZ with his wisdom.

Meanwhile, secret non-favorite Lucas informs the IBES fan base that he would only see himself with the jungle crown - no one else.

Well, if the world were to go by how Lucas sees things, there would be more Lucas Cordalis monuments in Germany than FDP voters.

In other words: at least around twelve.

In order to distract a little from the self-destruction gala, in which Daniela Katzenberger's husband radicalizes himself into Germany's most unpleasant egocentric in real time, RTL, in a fit of spontaneous generosity, gives the semi-finalists their luxury items, which were confiscated some time ago due to rule violations.

Mostly sleep aid pillows.

In childish euphoria, Cosimo is happy about a deodorant and Papis Loveday about a plush snake the length of the Gotthard tunnel.

Or as Gigi and Cosimo, the two Italo gangsters would say: Galleria stradale del San Gottardo.

Somehow everything always sounds like a delicious dessert in Italian.

Virtually naked in the bubble bath

Gigi does not allow himself much time to enjoy the luxury he has regained.

He uses the opportunity to reveal profound secrets from his jungle days: "At first I thought this place was cursed." Then he realized: It's just Lucas Cordalis.

It's lucky that televoting agencies also work on the weekends, otherwise Lucas might not have witnessed the subsequent cult jungle test "Creek of the Stars".

With a triumphant team performance, Team 2023 gets 5 out of 5 stars and thus scores more points in ten minutes than Schalke 04 in the entire first half of the season.

Anyone who knows the game "Creek of the Stars" knows that it's wild, wet and slippery.

A home game for Gigi: practically naked in a gigantic bubble bath, hosed down from all sides with huge trunks.
