Published

Sommerhaus der Stars 2026: Ginger and Lukas win the finale. RTL has officially confirmed the outcome of the eleventh season. The deciding episode is already available on RTL+, while the free-to-air broadcast follows on November 3. Here are the confirmed results and what they mean for the RSHOF standings.
Spoiler warning: The following sections reveal the results of episode 10, including the winning couple and the top three.
Sommerhaus der Stars 2026: The winning couple is confirmed
Ginger Costello-Wollersheim and Lukas Reiter win Sommerhaus and receive €50,000 as a couple. They beat Michelle Daniaux and Sandro Ritzini in the last game. Anna Lisson and Tano Milingi finish the season in third place. RTL confirmed those results in its official finale report published on October 27.
Several decisions come before that last matchup. Ginger and Lukas count out the required €97.43 exactly in the money challenge and earn a spot on the final day. Ferry Pall and Kathy Hartlieb then lose to Michelle and Sandro and are eliminated. In the tower-building game, Ginger and Lukas secure the first place in the deciding challenge, followed by Michelle and Sandro. Anna and Tano finish third.
The last course requires the couples to saw off wooden blocks, make their way through the obstacles together, and knock down photos of the opposing couple before pressing the buzzer. Ginger and Lukas complete the contest as the winning couple. The cash prize is a shared couple prize. RSHOF does not convert it into extra points or describe it as a separate €50,000 award for each person.
Late arrivals have the same chance to win
Ginger and Lukas were not among the original eight couples. RTL announced them in September as another late-arriving couple, after Julian F. M. Stoeckel and Marcell Damaschke had also joined the season. The eight starting couples became ten couples over the course of the competition. That distinction explains why the complete RSHOF season guide contains twenty people.
The season score reflects the performance achieved in this competition. Arriving later is not a reason to reduce a confirmed winner’s points. Ginger and Lukas receive the same format-specific winner bonus that a couple from the original cast would have received. There is also no extra reward simply for being late arrivals. Participation circumstances and the confirmed outcome remain separate, making the calculation easier to follow.
How the finale changes the RSHOF points
At RSHOF, Sommerhaus awards 15 participation points per person. Winning adds 35 bonus points, second place adds 21, and third place adds 14. Each bonus is added to the participation points already earned. The resulting season scores are 50 format points for each winner, 36 for each runner-up, and 29 for each third-place finisher. This finale does not change the existing point rates.
Ginger and Lukas each move from 15 to 50 points for their Sommerhaus participation, an increase of 35 points per person. Michelle and Sandro each move from 15 to 36, adding 21 apiece. Anna and Tano each rise from 15 to 29, adding 14 points per person for third place. Across the six people on the podium, those updates add a total of 140 format points.
These season scores are different from a star’s overall profile total. A profile may also include other confirmed formats and previously scored categories. Two people with the same Sommerhaus result therefore do not necessarily have the same overall score or Hall of Fame rank. The updated ranking determines their current individual positions. A shared result as a television couple does not create a shared RSHOF profile rank.
Ferry and Kathy each retain their 15 participation points. RTL confirms their elimination before the final day but does not give them an explicitly numbered placement in this report. RSHOF records that confirmed exit without guessing a place number or awarding an additional finalist bonus merely because they appear in the finale episode. Previously earned participation points also remain in place for the other eliminated couples.
You can check the attribution directly: The season entry shows the result beside each person, while the linked star profile shows the participation and the overall score. The confirmed outcome is added to the existing record. The finale does not create a second participation for the same person and season. If you previously followed only the cast listing, you can now find the same competition with its verified final result.
RTL+ and free-to-air TV have different release dates
According to RTL’s official report, episode 10 has been available on RTL+ since Tuesday, October 27, 2026, at 12:00 a.m. German time. RTL airs the finale on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, at 8:15 p.m. German time. Knowing the outcome already does not mean the finale has aired on free-to-air television. This report covers the released streaming episode and the broadcaster’s confirmation.
If you are following the season on television, keep that streaming lead in mind. The results here apply to the released finale, while the scheduled TV broadcast remains unchanged. The finale on RTL+ and the season guide with linked star profiles provide two useful starting points: watching the deciding episode and checking the standings.
