“Who wants to be a millionaire?”: Influencer doesn’t understand Günther Jauch’s warning – and fails brutally

Jonas Croonen actually doesn’t want to compete in the “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” final. Then the cooking influencer gets a taste for it. In the end he stumbles over a film question and falls back on 1000 euros.

28 candidates will compete in the finale of the “3 million euro week” of “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” to.

That’s a record, as presenter Günther Jauch reveals: “But don’t worry, they won’t all get it,” says the 68-year-old. He only makes a few candidates an offer to possibly win big.

Student and cooking influencer Jonas Croonen lets Jauch talk to him; so far he has won “only” 16,000 euros. The same applies to the 21-year-old as to everyone else: four jokers are set.

However, the sauce fan doesn’t want to sacrifice anyone when it comes to the 30,000 euro question. He thinks he knows that the nickname “Master of Disaster” is common in Hollywood for film music composer Hans Zimmer.

Jauch: “Do what you can’t help doing!”

The actors Daniel Brühl and Til Schweiger as well as director Roland Emmerich are also available, but without their job titles.

Candidate Croonen: “I don’t even know two of the names, but I think it has to be Hans Zimmer.” He often composes very dramatic music, which is fitting.

Moderator Jauch intervenes: “If you only know two of four names and still have two jokers. I would think of something I would do.” But the student doesn’t understand the hint from the fence post and asks back: “What?” Jauch: “Do what you can’t help doing!”

Urologist Paula Menold is also starting with 16,000 euros, having already fallen from 125,000 euros on Wednesday. To calm her nerves, she asks for a glass of wine.

Jonas Croonen logs the wrong answer and is shocked when he realizes his mistake. “Wow, that sucks!” he groans. After all: the Berliner has 1000 euros left. «It’ll be fine again. Cook yourself a nice sauce!” says the moderator cheerfully as he bids the cooking influencer farewell.

“I don’t know which South Tyrolean farmer’s horror is served here,” jokes Günther Jauch, who is a winery owner himself and is amused by wine tasters’ descriptions such as “the nose reminds me of a side-saddle that has been ridden through.”

When asked the 50,000 euro question, the urologist calls her uncle because she doesn’t know what the popular Père Lachaise attraction in Paris is (solution: a cemetery). But the telephone joker can’t help her either.

Since there is still time, Paula Menold takes the opportunity to ask her uncle for something: “Tell dad to bring sausage meat!” Günther Jauch only understands train stations: “What is sausage meat?” he asks. The candidate explains that it is raw meat loaf, one of her favorite foods.

Jauch: “I’m not turning myself into a urologist murderer”

It continues strangely: Great Britain came in second place a whopping 16 times – most recently in 2022? ESC, Olympic medal table, World Happiness Report or the PISA study.

Menold leans towards answer A to the 100,000 euro question, but hesitates: “Of course the pants are full,” she says. A great template from the urologist for Günther Jauch: “You have to treat your incontinence yourself,” he says with a grin.

Because she cannot answer the 250,000 euro question (Which place really exists and has almost 130 inhabitants? Bullerbü, Lönneberga, Saltkrokan or Taka-Tuka-Land, correct is B), she gets out with 100,000 euros.

“I’m not making myself out to be a urologist murderer here either,” grins Günther Jauch. The doctor has just bought an apartment in expensive Munich and is thrilled: “That’s four special repayments at once!”

Things weren’t quite as successful for the other candidates in the final: Dominik Wenz won 70,000 euros, Luise Thomas won 30,000 euros and Dorothea Gharibian went home with 6,000 euros after answering a 5,000-euro question incorrectly.
