Soon, several celebrity couples will be moving into the “Summer House of the Stars”. The conditions for the residents there are already tough enough, but this year RTL is tightening the screws even more for all sausage and steak lovers:

Salad instead of ham, pulses instead of sirloin steaks: The candidates of the reality TV show “Sommerhaus der Stars” have been prescribed a meat-free diet this year. RTL spoke on its website of a “culinary innovation” that Mann had made for the new season of the successful format.

Instead of meat and sausage products, the celebrity candidates will only be given plant-based food – salad, rice and pulses will be on the “menu”. The succinct explanation: “'The Summer House of the Stars' is always good for a surprise.”

It is clear that such a rule change will not be met with unanimous approval. Nutritional issues are classic bones of contention in reality shows. Vegetarian or not, a lot or a little, healthy or unhealthy – this has often set off a spiral of escalation.

It starts on September 10th on RTL+

Actor Raul Richter, who is taking part in this year's “Sommerhaus”, was already quoted by RTL as saying: “I love steak! And I am a self-determined, free person, that's how I was raised and that's how I want to live.” I also need meat and I don't want to be patronized when it comes to my food.

The “Summer House of the Stars” is one of RTL's best-known and most successful reality TV formats. In the show, (more or less) celebrities move into a kind of large shared apartment with their partner. There they have to get along with the other couples and master games together. This year, for example, designer Sarah Kern and her partner Tobias Pankow are also taking part.

The show is produced in a rustic home in Bocholt in Münsterland. The new episodes can be seen on RTL+ from Tuesday, September 10th. From September 17th, they will also be broadcast on RTL on free TV at 8:15 p.m.
