What inspires Knossi? Even though Knossi struggles with his nicotine addiction in 7 vs. Wild and sets a palm tree on fire to light his cigarette, the survival newcomer does well.
Especially the strong will and perseverance of Knossi inspires the viewers. While other participants despair of the heavy tropical shower and think about giving up, Knossi gives a motivational speech in the pouring rain: “You have to be tough when the jungle is crying.”
Then the 36-year-old entertainer goes and rummages through the washed up garbage on the island because he wants to keep himself busy: “It doesn’t help, I can’t stand under a palm tree all the time. I have to do something.”
To keep himself busy during the rain shower, Knossi wants to tinker with a gift for the community and therefore grabs a green rubber ball: “I already have a bond with him. Wilson was Willy, you’re Greeny.”
Knossi then talks to Greeny about the weather, takes a selfie with him and asks him to smile in the photo.
