The 14th season of "Promi Big Brother," Sat.1's celebrity spin-off of the reality format, began on Monday, October 5, 2026, at 8:15 p.m., with a livestream running around the clock on the streaming service Joyn, according to German broadcaster listings compiled by Ruhrnachrichten.
No housemate has been eliminated after the first two episodes. Instead, two contestants are currently on the so-called "exit list" awaiting a public vote: René "Redo" Dost, a 57-year-old restaurateur known for XXL-themed content, and Godfrey Egbon, a 35-year-old finalist from the modeling competition "Germany's Next Topmodel," according to the entertainment site bbfun.de and the Stuttgarter Zeitung.
How the nominations happened
On the first day inside the house, singer Nadja Benaissa of the group No Angels nominated Redo for the exit list, Stuttgarter Zeitung reported. On the second day, residents competed in a potato-sack tractor race; the winning team, based in the garden area, earned the right to send one rival from the house area onto the exit list and chose Godfrey Egbon, who the site bbfun.de described as "visibly irritated" by the decision.
The garden team's win was contested by the losing house team, with bbfun.de describing discussions and protests from the opposing side over the result, though no formal appeal outcome was reported.
House and garden reshuffle
"Promi Big Brother" splits its 14 contestants between a comfortable house and a stripped-down garden area, with challenge results determining who moves where. After the day-two competition, the winning garden contestants — Francesca Morgese, Maurice Dziwak, Nadja Benaissa and Redo — swapped into the house along with Gia Georgina, while the losing house contestants — Christian Lell, Axel Schulz, Gedeon Burkhard and Godfrey Egbon — moved to the garden along with Anouschka Renzi, according to matching accounts from Stuttgarter Zeitung and bbfun.de. Kim Virginia Grey and her husband Nikola Grey stayed in the garden throughout.

A couple's drama inside the house
Among the 14 contestants are Kim Virginia Grey and Nikola Grey, reality-TV personalities who married in October 2025 at the Little White Chapel in Las Vegas after a relationship that began during the show "Promis unter Palmen" in late 2024, according to a timeline published by web.de. The pair first met years earlier on "Temptation Island."
Inside the "Promi Big Brother" house, the couple told fellow contestants that "Grey" is not their birth surname but a name they adopted themselves, a revelation that, according to home.1und1.de, surprised housemate Redo.

The season is scheduled to run nightly on Sat.1 at 8:15 p.m. through October 19, 2026, across 15 episodes, with a late-night companion show following at 10:20 p.m., per Ruhrnachrichten's programming overview. The winner receives 100,000 euros and a trophy. It was not yet reported, as of the sources reviewed, which of the two nominees — Redo or Godfrey Egbon — would be the season's first contestant to leave.
