Victory was within reach, but shortly before the final, “Celebrity Big Brother” struck again. The two stars had to pack their bags.

It’s time for Wednesday: The tenth season of “Celebrity Big Brother” is coming to an end after nearly three weeks. During this time only six of the 15 stars who moved into Germany’s toughest flat-sharing community survived the day before the grand finale. But not everyone should get a chance to continue fighting for the prize money of 100,000.

Reconciled directly at home. On Monday, residents put Katie Karenbauer and Rainer Gottwald on the eviction list. Then the audience had the last word: for 24 hours they could get the actress or the boxing manager to get drunk with their call.

The polling became a neck-and-neck race as the interim result was 50.59 to 49.41 per cent. In the end it wasn’t enough for Katie Karenbauer, she had to leave the house.

But your departure should not be the last of this evening. “Five is one too many,” Big Brother tells the residents shortly after saying goodbye to Katy, announcing that one more star has progressed to the semi-finals.

In one of the arena games, Rainer was able to advance directly to the finals. As a reward, he also got a chance to save two of his fellow campaigners from being thrown out. The boxing manager selected Menderes Bagassi and Sam Dylan. At the same time, he released Mikaela Schaefer and Jai Khan to shoot. In an electric vote, the audience decided: Slug can also go to the finals, the boy band star is eliminated.

The big live final from 8.15pm on Wednesday will decide which of the four remaining celebrities will win €100,000 and thus follow in the footsteps of winners like Janine Pink, Werner Hansch or Silvia Wollany.
