When founding father Fritz Meinecke announced the 7 candidates of 7 vs. Wild Season 4, fans were surprised that he did not include himself. The rumors of a season without Fritz Meinecke grew louder, but now there is certainty.
What about Fritz Meinecke’s participation? It had been quiet about 7 vs. Wild for a long time before a video on the official YouTube account revealed the participants of the fourth season. The 7 participants are:
- Survival expert Joe Vogel
- Comedy influencer Selfiesandra
- Outdoor expert Joey Kelly
- Twitch streamer LetsHugo
- Outdoor influencer Stefan from Survival_Deutschland
- Fitness influencer Flying Uwe
- YouTuber Julia Beautx
But Fritz Meinecke did not include himself in the video for the new season. For the fans, it was initially a shock, as some express in the comments under the video. But while fans have already found a significant hint about the participation of the series founder, he has now also publicly commented on the participation.
One of the seven participants is the streamer LetsHugo; you can learn more about his success here:
“I am a part of 7 vs. Wild Season 4”
What does Fritz Meinecke say about his participation? On Instagram, the founding father of the show answered the question about his participation in the new season.
He writes: “I am a part of 7 vs. Wild Season 4. But as in every year, there are changes. What kind you will find out in the coming weeks.”
So, Fritz Meinecke will be part of the new series but probably not as a regular participant. This fits the introductory video of the candidates, because if Meinecke were to participate not as a candidate but in another role, he would officially not be a candidate.
What kinds of changes could be meant? Fans have many theories about the “game mode” of this year’s season. Since the announcement video of the fourth season mentioned new game modes. Anyone who paid close attention could also see the hint about Fritz Meinecke in the introduction video.
Viewers are still speculating, but there are two theories that seem most likely to fans:
- Fritz Meinecke hunts the participants, and they must flee or hide from him in a designated area; whoever is found is out.
- The participants can call Meinecke as a joker, who supports them with questions or emotionally reassures them, so they can endure the potential 14 days.
Whether any of these theories is true remains unknown. It remains to be seen what role the founder of the show will take in the new season and how present he will be in the series. It was still unclear whether the founding father would even participate in the series: 7 vs. Wild Season 4 without Fritz Meinecke – These are the participants of the new season
