What does the Federal Minister of Health have to do with Mozart? Jauch is flattened when his candidate for “Who wants to be a millionaire?” even before the answers the penny drops: “The madness.” The former winner WWM-Eckhard Freise, on the other hand, feels underchallenged.
Cedric Ernst Johannes Sven Browatzki set a world record in continuous television in 2013. He lasted 87 hours zapping with fellow campaigners, the 32-year-old said on “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?”. “RTL keeps you awake?” Günther Jauch fished for compliments on his home station. “Yes, during the day,” followed the tit-for-tat response. Luckily, the bank advisor had impressed the host so much right from the start that he let him get away with the affront and didn’t give a know-it-all penalty – thanks to the Federal Minister of Health.
The possible answers to the 500-euro question had not yet been displayed when the name of the social democrat was already echoing through the WWM studio. Jauch initially had no idea what that was supposed to be. Because the question had nothing to do with a pandemic or a traffic light coalition. The candidate should add: “The classical music lover first heard Mozart relatively quietly and then clearly…?” Browatzki apparently sees the same memes online as the question editors and therefore knew immediately: The answer can only be “loud Bach”.
The moderator was impressed. “There isn’t. That’s crazy. I have to say: That’s a blast,” he praised the candidate. Unfortunately, his mother, who was in the studio with him, didn’t read him any “Max and Moritz” stories as a child. So Browatzki needed the audience joker for the 2000 euro question. In each of the following three rounds, the remaining jokers were lost. Former World Championships winner Eckhard Freise has already had to run for €4,000 and help the contestant realize that sun hats are valued by both humans (as sun protection) and bees (in the form of flowers).
For Browatzki it was therefore 16,000 euros. With the money he would like to finance a trip to the quietest room in the world in the USA and maybe set a new record for the longest stay. The silence in the anechoic room is so absolute that you can hear your own heartbeat, the candidate from Witten reported: “Everyone in there is going crazy.” Jauch also expressed an interest, if not for himself: “I know a lot of people I would like to ship there.”
The presenter was not exactly enthusiastic about his selection candidates at the beginning of the episode. After the long WWM break, all five made a drop-out in the first selection question. You should arrange the Elbe cities Hamburg, Dresden, Magdeburg, Cuxhaven downstream. But most of them started at the mouth. “Relieved smile – if everyone is a bit stupid, it’s okay,” said Jauch. He then offered what is probably one of the simplest multi-choice questions in the history of the quiz show. Because the applicants should simply rank the same cities upstream. But again, only three logged in the correct order.
The fastest was Christin Sengstacken from Geestland. The commercial lawyer with a hunting license is not familiar with avocados of the “Hass” variety. But she had the right instinct that tilers should also be familiar with an elbow bandage. The candidate didn’t trust her gut feeling, but she went home with the highest prize of the evening thanks to 64,000 euros.
The third candidate of the evening, Luisa Flath from Dieburg in Hesse, will return next Monday. The vegetarian made it onto the hot seat with a meatball question and came up with the 16,000 euro question. Thanks to her two grandmothers, she had survived the round before without any problems.
