Mirja du Mont Regrets Joining Dschungelcamp After Gil Ofarim Fallout

She says the season’s debate over Gil Ofarim turned the experience into an unsettling political spectacle.

Overview

  • In new interviews with Die Aktuelle and RTL, the 50-year-old says she wishes she had declined the show again after years of invitations from RTL.
  • She describes the reaction surrounding fellow contestant Gil Ofarim as a “Riesenpolitikum” that was “quite upsetting” for everyone involved.
  • Du Mont was eliminated on day ten after too few viewer calls, while Ofarim staged a comeback and ultimately won the season.
  • She characterizes life in the camp as a hard stretch, citing long idle periods and ongoing disputes among contestants.
  • Despite her misgivings, she says the experience cured her fear of insects and spiders, calling it the best therapy she could have had.
