Singer Joelina Drews Reflects on RTL's 'Die Verräter' Reality Show

German singer Joelina Drews, 30, discussed her experience on the fourth season of RTL’s reality‑strategy show “Die Verräter – Vertraue Niemandem!” which began airing in early August 2026. She described the castle setting and the constant need to judge fellow participants’ loyalty as a source of intense insecurity, saying she felt “extremely unsure” and struggled to read genuine emotions versus performed ones.

Drews was eliminated in the second episode, but the experience prompted her to reassess her confidence and strategic thinking. In interviews she highlighted the challenge of stepping out of her comfort zone, the psychological pressure of the game, and the support of her father, veteran entertainer Jürgen Drews. She also noted that the show offered a prize of up to €50,000 for the winner and that the episodes are available on RTL+ and broadcast on RTL.

Overall, Drews said the format forced her to confront personal doubts, ultimately helping her grow as a performer and as an individual.
