"Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" contestant forgets the phone-a-friend's advice

This article reports on a recent episode of the German quiz show 'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?', focusing on contestant Ruben Jochem who brought a Monstera plant as a good luck charm. Host Guenther Jauch gifted him a cactus that had been kept in the men's restroom for 27 years. During the game, Jochem reached the 16,000 euro question but forgot the answer provided by his phone-a-friend lifeline due to nervousness. Although he attempted to use another lifeline, Jauch refused, stating such a situation had never occurred before, and ultimately revealed the correct answer, which allowed Jochem to keep the money. The piece also briefly mentions another contestant, Noah Petrik, who answered a question about Union Berlin incorrectly but received an invitation to watch a match from coach Mauro Lustrinelli.

"Weisse Domina" fails to answer the €16,000 question on "Wer wird Millionär?" (Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?)

Jennifer Holzendorf appeared on the German quiz show 'Wer wird Millionär' hosted by Günther Jauch. During her introduction, she revealed that she previously worked as a 'white domina,' a role involving medical procedures like infusions and catheters performed for clients, which surprised the host who had never heard of the term. Her current profession is listed as Clinical Specialist. In the game, she used both audience jokers but failed to answer the question worth 16,000 euros despite using her phone joker. She decided to stop playing and took home the guaranteed prize money of 8,000 euros.
