It was the second day of the “three million euro week” on “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?”. A special edition of the quiz show in which the candidates for the final broadcast on Thursday are determined over two evenings. On Tuesday evening, Sarah Neugebauer sat on Günther Jauch’s advice chair and was properly thrown out of step by the moderator.
The student of political science spoke about her career aspirations after her studies and mentioned her poorly paid internship that she did at the Federal Foreign Office. She only received 300 euros a month there.
When she arrives at the 1000 euro question, she mentions that this sum is higher than she received for her internship. At 4,000 euros, a sentence falls that massively unsettles the student: You have now “enough blasphemed,” says Jauch. It was meant as a joke, but Neugebauer suddenly gets nervous and looks close to tears. Because she certainly didn’t mean her anecdote from the internship as blasphemy. Now she tenses up.
The moderator tries to loosen up the situation and steers the conversation to another topic, but the student remains nervous. After all, she manages to solve the 16,000 euro question, which qualifies her for Thursday’s final.
There will also be a reunion with the IT consultant Lukas Körber, who also crossed the 16,000 euro mark on Tuesday. In fact, the 32-year-old made it to the 500,000 euro question. However, he could not answer that. Jauch wanted to know whose first band bore the name Landsberg Barbarians. You could choose from Johnny Cash, Elvis, Bruce Springsteen or Ozzy Osbourne.
The correct answer would have been A. Körber tended towards B, but wasn’t entirely sure, and his telephone joker couldn’t help him either. And so he preferred to take the 125,000 euros home with him. And maybe there will be even more: on Thursday he will play for three million euros. Hopefully Sarah Neugebauer will have recovered by then.
