What do you get when you send 12 bored reality stars into the Australian jungle? That’s right, Germany’s most successful reality show: I’m a star – get me out of here. The rowdy trash icon has been running on RTL since 2004 and has not been killed to this day. No wonder: year after year, new scandalous celebrities come in and the audience really loves to see them suffer. These stars were most often chosen for the exam.
Controversial record: These celebrities had to take part in the jungle test most often
3rd place: Helena Fürst and Gisele Oppermann – tie for scandal noodles
Wow, who would have thought: Two controversial reality stars ended up in third place. Helena Fürst became known as an advocate for the poor, but then the dramatic downturn followed. Apart from a few appearances on reality TV, there was hardly anything left of the former TV star. Fürst was repeatedly noticed by scandalous outbursts of anger, which even earned her the nickname “Höllena” Fürst. The audience showed no mercy she chose the jungle test 9 times. Tragic news: In 2023, the reality star announced that he had a benign brain tumor.
Gisele Oppermann became famous as a drama queen on GNTMfollowed by further appearances on reality TV. The ex-model also repeatedly caused offense in the jungle camp and caused trouble with melodramatic appearances. Although Gisele was thrown out of the show in ninth place, she set a record: The audience voted her into the jungle test an incredible 9 times in a row. However, Gisele showed little fighting spirit and dropped out of half of her exams. The audience didn’t like that at all and she was promptly voted out of the show.

2nd place: Larissa Marolt – TV blonde with bite
Today Larissa Marolt is known as a successful actress on TV. For many years she thrilled people on the daily soap Sturm der Liebe and was able to successfully break away from the sleazy image of her reality TV past. In her youth, Marolt was decried as a GNTM rioter, but in 2014 she was able to polish up her image in the jungle. But the audience made her suffer a lot: the blonde was “allowed” to take the exam 8 times in a row, in total she even had to go 10 times. But Marolt showed nerves of steel: she didn’t drop out of a single exam!
1st place: Danni Büchner – Nobody had to suffer more than her
Danni Büchner is a true jungle camp legend. The Mallorca emigrant became famous on the VOX documentary soap Goodbye Deutschland, But the mother of five was not popular. The reality diva was accused in the camp in 2019 of blatantly pushing herself into the spotlight after the death of her husband Jens Büchner († 49) in order to play the role of the tragic widow. (Just 2 years earlier, her late husband had participated in the show.)
The audience punished Büchner for his dubious performance. Danni had to take part in the jungle test 12 times. This means that it even holds up in international comparison absolute world record. After all: Büchner made it to the final and was even allowed to take part in the legends’ jungle camp this year. The TV star is now much more popular with audiences and recently had her own documentary soap on RTLzwei.
