The concept of The Stars’ Summer Home is as simple as it is effective: several couples, at least some of whom have been on TV in some form, move into a simple vacation home. There they not only have to master everyday life together – cooking, cleaning, finding out who snores so loudly at night – but also compete against each other in increasingly absurd competitions.
Whoever fails in the competitions can be voted out by the other couples. The pair that remains at the end wins 50,000 euros prize money – and of course everyone wants that. Stress and conflicts are inevitable and make the summer house one of the most popular RTL reality shows. We’ll have to wait a little longer until it’s broadcast in late summer, but it’s already worth taking a look at the list of this year’s candidates. That’s where it is decent drama potential inside.
From RTL trash princess to GZSZ star: All summer house of the stars 2023 couples at a glance
Meme icon Claudia Obert and her heart boy Max Suhr
Together since: 2022
RTL
Summer house of the stars 2023
Drama Potential: Enormous!
For many, Claudia Obert is a living provocation – whether because of her heavy alcohol consumption, her cheeky jokes, her sexual openness or the relationship with the much younger Max. In reality formats such as celebrities under palm trees, the entrepreneur raises important questions about how the participants treat each other on. What is an entertaining exchange of blows and where does psychological terror and bullying against an obviously drunk woman begin?
One thing is already certain: Claudia Obert won’t be far when things start to fly in the summer house. Does Max know what he got himself into?
Reality diva Valentina Doronina and her fiancé Can Kaplan
Engaged since: 2022
RTL
Summer house of the stars 2023
Drama Potential: Very high.
Valentina is considered the Diva of German reality TV and has so far been particularly concerned with dating shows like Are you the One? and Ex on the Beach for conversation and surprises. She regularly shoots her poisoned darts in the direction of her TV competitors. At Celebrity Big Brother, she even took on perfume influencer and internet cult figure Jeremy Fragrance.
Can proposed to her during a late night show. It remains to be seen whether her fiancé has a similar desire for stress. Will they survive the curse of the summer house? After all, some relationships have already broken there.
Ex-GZSZ star Eric Stehfest and his wife Edith
To be married: 2015
RTL
Summer house of the stars 2023
Drama Potential: High.
Eric Stehfest (Gute Zeiten, Schlechte Zeiten) doesn’t put up with anything – especially on reality shows. He last demonstrated this in the anniversary season of the jungle camp in 2022. There he refused a jungle test after feeling betrayed by some of his fellow campers. An action that caused a sensation not only in the Australian bush, but throughout Germany. His wife Edith didn’t say anything either and regularly stands up for herself and her husband.
This couple will not be defeated and will take a firm stand in awkward situations. Do the others get along with their honesty? On the other hand, exactly this authenticity could bring the two forward.
Temptation Island VIP stars Aleks Petrovic and Vanessa Nwattu
Together since: 2022
RTL
Summer house of the stars 2023
Drama Potential: High.
In 2022, Aleks Petrovic was one of the most unsympathetic people in the German TV landscape. He broke the heart of his ex Christina Dimitriou at Temptation Island VIP and publicly flirted with Vanessa Nwattu — complete with hot kisses and declarations of love. Even the moderator Lola Weippert turned to Aleks in the reunion show with clear words of antipathy.
So the heartbreaker does not exactly move into the summer house with the best conditions. How do your fellow combatants react to him and his new partner?
The AYTO scandal noodles Maurice Dziwak and Ricarda Raatz
Together since: 2022
RTL
Summer house of the stars 2023
Drama Potential: High.
At the dome show Are You The One? – Reality Stars in Love, Maurice already made negative headlines in 2022. Completely beside himself, he yelled because, according to the matchbox, one of his sweethearts would be a perfect match for another candidate. Like Aleks, his toxic behavior rightfully earns him a lot of dislike. Although he seems overjoyed with Ricarda, it is questionable whether this has changed him as a person.
At the stars’ summer home, Maurice would have the chance to leave his old self behind and publicly stand up for positive values. But can he learn from his mistakes?
Berlin – day & night star Pia Tillmann and Zico Banach
Together since: 2022
RTL
Summer house of the stars 2023
Drama Potential: Rather low.
For a long time, Pia Tillmann was considered one of the darlings of Berlin – day and night. She was then seen in the offshoot format Cologne 50667 and at Krass Schule – The Young Teachers.
The actress isn’t exactly known for being a drama magnet. It will definitely be entertaining with her and her Zico. Perhaps the two will show themselves from a completely new side in extreme situations.
Pop star Tim Toupet and Carina Crone
Together since: unknown
RTL
Summer house of the stars 2023
Drama Potential: Rather low.
Not much is known about Tim Toupet, except that he spreads a good mood professionally as a party pop singer. In 2008 he made a misstep when he claimed to have a steady relationship with the then jungle camp candidate Michaela Schaffrath. At that point, the relationship had already ended. For a hit star maybe a small scandal – for actual reality stars a trifle.
But who knows, maybe Tim Toupet and Carina Croneb will surprise us with completely new facets. Does the good mood man lose his mood after a few days in the dreaded summer house – or does he sing until the end “You have beautiful hair…”?
Joey Heindle’s ex Justine Dippl and Arben Zekic
Together since: 2022
RTL
Summer house of the stars 2023
Drama Potential: Rather low.
Justine Dippl is best known for her ex-relationship with Jungle King Joey Heindle. The two were even married and she went public with her displeasure at the split. Her main criticism: She helped Joey get out of personal bankruptcy for years – and when he started earning more money again, he broke up.
So Justine doesn’t shy away from making her private life public. This is a good prerequisite for getting started in reality life. Otherwise not much is known about her. Can she and her sweetheart Abel keep up with the reality pros?
The 8th season of Sommerhaus der Stars on RTL has no official broadcast date yet. In view of the last few years, it is likely to be broadcast from September 2023, every Wednesday and Sunday at 8:15 p.m.
