With this question the nervousness increased – and the drama took its course. Olivia Peters made it to Günther Jauch’s “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” Chair on Monday evening, but broke a sweat when asked about football.

She writes columns about her dating experience with men, talks a lot about her dog Oskar – and with Günther Jauch already stumbles at the 500 euro question. Olivia Peters, it quickly became clear on this Monday night on “Who Wants to be a Millionaire?” Even more: the woman from Karlsruhe is not even familiar with the term “table”. “There are soccer lists,” the candidate pokes at the RTL quiz show in the fog when she thinks out loud about her question and Jauch replies: “It’s called a table”.
And the question goes like this: “What ‘service provider’ do you call weak football clubs in industry jargon?
Not only passionate football fans and assiduous tactical foxes should quickly tend to answer A), the points provider, for this question. Not so Ms. Peters, who thinks back and forth and lets this question literally play her on the wall. In the end, however, the hit: She logs in answer A).
“I would like to apologize for the delay,” jokes Günther Jauch, referring to the long time it took Olivia Peters to answer. He smugly repeats the other possible answers “Strip dealer”, “Check deliverer” and “Rautenbeschaffer” and wishes the audience with a big grin “toi toi toi for you at home” before the commercial break. In fact, many observers are not at all impressed by the candidate – and let their displeasure run free on Twitter. “Unsympathetic” is one of the more harmless attributions that Olivia Peters is given in the comments.
A football club from the 2nd division also gets involved. The official Twitter account of the Karlsruher SC shows a screenshot of the RTL scene and writes: “Understandable that a Karlsruhe woman has a bit of difficulty with such a question, right?”
Günther Jauch makes fun of the candidate
When Günther Jauch resolves the matter, he chooses a musical variant and sounds “You are only a point supplier” through the studio with the reference that this is one of the common choruses among German fan scenes. The moderator doesn’t stop joking at the candidate’s expense and asks mockingly: “How much money should I give you for the time delay?”
When the 64-year-old finally asks how many points a team receives for a victory in football, Olivia Peters looks into the tube again and answers only with “enough”. But in the end the quiz show isn’t enough for her. With all the jokers and the active support of all the jokers, she manages to get her way up to her final winnings of 8,000 euros. “That wasn’t the plan,” she says, adding: “I wanted to take a year off.” The fact that the European Football Championship starts in around three weeks should have less to do with this plan.
