my personal top 5

1. Claudia Effenberg drama drama drama, from this iconic woman
2. Jana Pallashke or her nickname Jana Urkraft - Prehistoric Powerwoman Jana, she's amazing good tv too
3. Verena Karth, so good looking, easy on the eye
4. Lucas Cordalis, wouldn't say he is better than his dad was but he's a decent contestant
5. Papis Loveday, never thought he would do this show, and never thought he would be such a good contestant either
