Roo, who also brought the prize money of 100,000 euros, so as not to be mocked, couldn’t believe her hard luck at first. Tears rolled and no real handkerchief was found. “I’m really overwhelmed,” she admitted. In her first speech as Queen of the Jungle, she confidently thanked everyone who supported her. “They recognized my true soul and didn’t just pay attention to the outside. They saw what kind of person I really was.”
Rowe was introduced as a candidate before the show started about two weeks ago. Her name was not on the original list of participants. She replaced actor Martin Semmelrogge (“Das Boot”), who, according to RTL, was not allowed to enter Australia. In recent years, Rowe has chased various reality formats over and over again.
As Queen of the Jungle, the 55-year-old follows in the footsteps of such bush majesties as Costa Cordalis, Brigitte Nielsen, and Ingrid van Bergen. Her immediate predecessor in the reality TV contestant position was Philip Pavlovich.
