Season summary

The Housemates lived in a house with 3 areas. Rich, Normal and Survivor. Every week the housemates had to compete in challenges. Some of these challenges included jumping from a flying helicopter into water. At the beginning of the last two months, the survivor area was used as a punishment zone. The title song this season, "Alles was du willst (Everything You Want)" by Lex. Franziska "Franzi" Lewandrowski won second place and the prize of €50,000. Sascha Sirtl won the season and the prize of €1,000,000.

The 4-hour finale on 1 March 2005 was watched by 30% audience share in targeted 14–29 years.
