The finale, aired live from Athens, saw Katerina the actress crowned Queen of the Jungle. Her victory speech lasted forty-five seconds, most of which she spent asking the host if he knew a good dentist in Kolonaki. The influencer got a skincare deal. Takis started a podcast about emotional intelligence in sports.
Producers saved their most sadistic trial for the penultimate challenge. Called “The Labyrinth of the Minotaur’s Shadow,” it was a three-part, individual immunity trial. Contestants were blindfolded, strapped into a rotating cage filled with Aegean sea water, and tasked with retrieving five plastic stars while submerged with live, non-venomous but highly disconcerting Mediterranean moray eels. i'm a celebrity... get me out of here greece season 15 vp3
The deep-feature twist? The audio feed was cut. Viewers watched in near-silence for 45 minutes as each celebrity thrashed in the dark. The basketball player, Takis, screamed for his mother.

For the uninitiated, the Greek edition of the global hit franchise has always possessed a unique flavor.
