Format

The format sees a group of ten to twelve celebrities, who have usually already appeared on television, live for up to two weeks in a so-called jungle camp in Australia under constant surveillance by television cameras. The aim of the participants is to win the favor of the audience and to stay in the camp for as long as possible in order to be crowned as "King or Queen". Since season 13 (2019), the winner has also received a prize of €100,000.

Dschungelprüfungen

Dschungelprüfungen (''Bushtucker trials'') are used in the show to allow the contestants to gain food and treats for camp. One contestant, sometimes two or rarely more than one contestant, has to pass a trial every day. These trials usually consist of overcoming scary or repulsive situations, for example by having to prepare smaller animals or parts of animals (e.g. testicles), or eat them dead or alive. In addition, in most exams, contestants are awarded e.g. Maggots, beetles and spiders showered or otherwise confronted with them. Since 2020, RTL and the production company announced that eating trials will no longer contain live bugs.
