RTL casts 100 specialists, not all-rounders, for Saturday primetime

Contestants are not required to be all-round athletes. Each challenger who wins a slot gets a duel in which they can play to a personal strength. A celebrity team captain backs every contestant through games, challenges and duels.

Applications and ticket sales are already open, giving RTL an early audience and casting pipeline for the format.
