The Power: Joshi targets Simon to protect Laura. Joyn’s official description of episode 24 turns a promise of friendship into a conflict of loyalties. This retrospective covers only developments documented by November 5, 2026, during the ongoing second season.

Spoiler warning: The following sections discuss specific developments in season 2, episodes 23 and 24.

Lou learns Joshi’s secret

The decision starts an episode earlier. In “Ein neuer Player zieht ein!,” Joshi Josh tells Lou Savage that he is the secret Power Player. That knowledge gives Lou and Lisha an opportunity to influence him: Joyn says they want him to nominate Laura Peuker. Soon afterward, however, Joshi talks to Laura about reaching the finale together.

Those commitments pull him in different directions. With Laura, he is discussing a shared future in the competition. With the players who know his role, he has to justify his choices. His identity is already known to someone else.

Simon becomes the target

Joyn identifies a different nominee in episode 24: Simon Tulgar. Joshi wants to keep Laura safe and targets his friend instead, while continuing to act as a friend toward him. Lisha and Lou reinforce the deception by giving Simon misleading clues. The broadcaster describes an emotional confrontation that also unsettles the alliance itself.

Why the clues matter

In “The Power,” a nominated player has one particular escape route: correctly identifying the secret Power Player sends that person home instead. Misleading information therefore affects the decision about who stays in the villa. The competition for 40,000 euros asks players to maintain relationships while concealing the role that gives them control.

Our editorial reading is that this situation exposes the tension between personal closeness and strategic protection. The summary used here does not establish whether Simon sees through the deception. Season 2 began on Joyn on October 20. The official episode pages date episode 23 to November 3 and episode 24 to November 4, 2026.
