Day 12 in the summer jungle camp: The jungle legends are out of steam. After almost two weeks of nightmare vacation, the celebrities’ nerves are so frayed that one look is enough to start a war. It doesn’t take much for a harmless comment to turn into a full-blown argument that spreads like wildfire in the camp. The situation escalates between two particularly hot-headed reality stars: Tears, defiance and a lot of drama included. You can find out the whole story here.
Jungle camp candidate drops “F-bomb”: The situation in the camp escalates
Nerves are frayed in the jungle. It’s no wonder that the celebrities sometimes use the wrong tone. This is also the case with troublemaker Georgina Fleur. During her last jungle test, Fleur addressed her colleagues Kader Loth and Sarah Knappik with unflattering words: “Take the stars and f*ck you.”
Knappik took the rude statement the wrong way and complained about the insult after the test in the camp. The other campers do their best to act as moralizers. It is emphasized again and again that the “F-bomb” does not belong on television – after all, children can also watch the format. Former athlete Thorsten Legat is particularly saintly: He thinks that such language has no place in a high-quality format such as the Jungle of Legends. Gigi Birofio disagrees: According to him, there have been much worse things on TV. (You can read here why he himself has already caused major TV scandals.)
Verbal boxing match between Knappik and Fleur: The sparks fly in the jungle camp
Sarah Knappik is displeased that Georgina Fleur used foul language – but for Fleur, there is something completely different behind the criticism. She has the feeling that Knappik wants to drag her performance in the jungle test through the mud. In addition, Knappik is hostile towards her: “Sarah doesn’t look me in the eye anymore and is acting offended.”
Then the first discussion between the two takes place. Sarah accuses Georgina of using the wrong tone: “You’re a mother, Georgina! That’s not a thing to say.” Fleur attributes her thoughtless statement to the stressful situation during the exam: “You drove me crazy. You were screaming in my ear. What you were screaming in my ear made no sense and I was panicking.”

Almost alone in the camp: Georgina Fleur is not always well received.
Sarah Knappik doesn’t like this explanation at all. She immediately becomes personal and attacks Georgina Fleur’s family: “Just be quiet, because you are moving in the direction how your mother behaves.“ Fleur’s mother has attracted attention online in recent weeks with questionable behavior – an allusion that is clearly below the belt. Fleur is visibly upset and can’t take it anymore. She complains about her suffering on the jungle phone: “I don’t think it’s nice when someone is sad that you have to kick them again.” Thorsten Legat shows little understanding for the dispute between the reality divas: “They behave like stupid children every now and then.”

Georgina Fleur feels cornered. She says she’s sorry that she used the “F-word” in a fit of rage. When Fleur grabs toilet paper to catch her crocodile tears, Knappik takes pity on her and tries to approach her. The two swallow their pride and dare to talk things out again.
“I want to apologize for the comment I made to your mother”Sarah Knappik clarifies. For Georgina Fleur, however, that is not enough. She still feels that the others did not react appropriately to her emotional outburst. But tears have little impact on Sarah Knappik: “I won’t allow myself to be emotionally blackmailed”she tells Fleur. “Just because someone cries doesn’t mean I have to feel guilty.”
In the end, the two troublemakers are left without a satisfactory agreement: Fleur suggests the following: “We just don’t talk about it anymore.” The camp should be grateful.
