I’ve already taken up the topic once: Celebrity Hunted from Amazon sends ten more or less celebrities into the wilderness of Germany and put professional profilers on them. The goal of the celebrities: not to be caught by the profilers until the tenth day. The goal of the profilers: to catch the celebrities by the tenth day. In the first few episodes, the hunt itself was less interesting for me than the behavior of the celebrities. Some were chauffeured through the country in private jets and fancy coaches, while others were almost putting their survival skills to the test. After six episodes it was clear: Celebrity Hunted wins the one who spends the most money – or at least is less stupid than the others.
Celebrity Hunted 2021
Should i say it? Without a spoiler warning? OK. Dr. Wladimir Klitschko, and the only one. Due to an acute attack of brainlag, Tom Beck was tackled from his bike before reaching the destination (a helicopter). He only had to touch the helicopter as it passed. But he thought he’d get off and walk three meters – the perfect target for the hunters who were already standing by. That this action was really stupid was perhaps due to the adrenaline of the situation and Tom Beck noticed afterwards.
Please all take a look important! The investigators at work. Mostly it has to do with strained looking.

Third place, if you can call it that, went to Stefanie Giesinger. The “I’ve always wanted to do a skydive” model thought it probably wouldn’t be weird if a parachute jump had to be registered near the destination. The hunters naturally intercepted this information. Just like Giesinger’s information on where and when the celebrities have to hit the ground on the last day in order to cross the finish line. The consequence of this faux pas (probably caused by Brainlag): Tom Beck was tackled from the bike. And caught the Giesinger at the end of the field where she landed with the parachute. Phew, exciting.
OMG, is there going to be Celebrity Hunted 2022?
When Klitschko finally held the trophy in front of the camera and the words “Celebrity Hunted 2021” could be read on it, I already suspected bad things. Do you want that to happen every year? And why did it sound like every Hans-Franz von Schnackenhausen could take part in this show … I mean, who cares if I hitchhike through Germany for ten days, nobody knows me anyway. Well, sponge over it. We have to deal with a much more important allegation. Is everything fake?
Tom Beck and the Hunter
That thought occurred to me when I saw the preview of episode 3 of Celebrity Hunted after the second episode. Because I didn’t relieve the hunter of his stumbling block (and his skillful role) and of course it turned out as I suspected: that’s why Tom Beck disappeared from the 1. FC Köln stadium. On the other hand, his partner Axel Stein was arrested (in the picture above he is already looking totally grumpy). That was too fishy for me, but of course, as a professional you can safely play such an adventurous role to cushion a fall. Swam over it.
But the (sorry) stupidest thing was when the profilers finally started a public manhunt and then strolled through the countryside, asking every Hans-Franz von Schnackenhausen whether they had seen a celebrity. The celebrities are hard to miss with a camera team in tow … I just mean. In the end, however, so little public came into play that one could have left it off right away. Or was it just that I didn’t know that ten celebrities were on the run in the summer of 2021?
Gloss! Value! By the way: Assuming the two investigators are standing behind a pane on which the map of Germany is projected … why is it upside down for the investigators?

However, I have to say that many scenes were cut in such a way that they arouse a sense of urgency and “danger” for the hunted in the audience. Of course, otherwise the show would be pretty lame. I think that the investigators were always too slow 90 percent of the time. Of course, Giesinger was at this one airfield for her parachute stunt. But if you look carefully, an airplane isn’t taking off in the background when the hunters storm the airfield. They were probably more than ten minutes late … as so often. Similar to the underwater scooter scene with Klitschko …
And the moral of the … uh
Celebrity Hunted is exciting. I would have liked a little more seriousness of the situation – obviously Kida Khodr Ramadan and Summer Cem missed the concept of the show at all. Tom Beck and Axel Stein took the situation seriously, apart from their lapse with the fucking football stadium. Sorry, you celebs don’t have to show off your influence or your money to put on a cool show. So I would like the following for future ventures of this kind.
- The refugees don’t have a camera team with them but just ne Go Pro or other small format cameras with which you film yourself. The material can still be cut afterwards. And if it’s shaky, give a shit. That’s what makes it so attractive!
- The daily budget of 50 euros per nose is absolute bullshit, when the celebrities don’t need it. As long as Wladimir Klitschko can put a multitude of the most unusual and expensive means of transport into the pampas, completely utopian for the normal, this pursuit of the refugees via the use of ATMs is totally banana. Either the people HAVE to withdraw the money per day or the profilers let the Schmonsens. It would still be better if the celebrities really had to fight their way through the country on their own and could not count on the active support of helpers or assets.
- Don’t put a bear on the audience. The babble of “Uh, I’m completely alone in the wilderness, far away from any civilization” and then comes a drone shot (drones, WTF?!?!) Of the most beautiful forest with the next holiday booths 200 meters away … dude , I get the break.
Yes, television often tries to fool us. But it doesn’t have to think we’re super stupid. Really now. I’ll watch a second season when the producers are trying harder to be less scripted. All of your beautiful glossy pictures are contrary to the concept of the show. I understand that Celebrity Hunted doesn’t want to look like K11 or the umpteenth afternoon emergency alarm on the private. But give the show a little more realism.
To hold on again: Dr. Wladimir Klitschko won. Probably because he used most of the coal. Or because he has at least suffered from mental deficits. Or because his helpers are really clever and took the game as seriously as he did. Or a mixture of all three things. Congratulations. I now know that there is a device that is a mix of a jet ski and a quad bike.
