The last season of 7 vs. Wild was filmed in secret, and now the series founder Fritz Meinecke is disappearing for 4 weeks on vacation, raising speculation.
What kind of vacation is this? The “7 vs. Wild” founding father Fritz Meinecke recently mentioned in his stream on Twitch that he still needs to plan his trip to Hawaii. He wants to explore the tropical island by bicycle for four weeks without making videos.
He doesn’t want to completely disappear from the public eye during his vacation and will occasionally post Instagram stories. In the stream, he says he still needs to plan details like accommodations and transfers between the islands. While this may sound like a normal vacation to some, it raises suspicions among the fans of 7 vs. Wild.
Over the years, Jens “Knossi” Knossalla has become the favorite of the “7 vs. Wild” viewers; you can learn more about him here:
Vacation or filming of 7 vs. Wild?
What does this have to do with 7 vs. Wild? Last year, the creators of the series filmed season 7 vs. Wild in secret, away from the public eye. It wasn’t until the participants simultaneously logged off for several weeks that viewers became skeptical.
Fans find it strange that Fritz Meinecke, as a content creator, would go on vacation to Hawaii for four weeks just to ride a bicycle.
Since there are expected to be no videos made during the four weeks, and Meinecke plans to only occasionally post on Instagram, viewers on Reddit conclude that this could already be the filming of season 5 of 7 vs. Wild.
What could the season look like? Season 2 of 7 vs. Wild already brought the contestants to a deserted island where they had to endure for 7 days. The tropical island of Hawaii consists not only of the main island Oahu, which is also home to the capital Honolulu, but also of the surrounding islands, some of which are still relatively untouched.
A shipwreck scenario like in Robinson Crusoe or being dropped in the woods or jungle of one of the islands could be plausible. For the second scenario, there is a specific example with the case of the yoga teacher Amanda Eller.
The U.S. expatriate went off the trail during a hike on the island of Maui, got lost, and was only found alive 17 days later. The rescue was made possible because her family chartered a helicopter to search for her.
In season 4 of 7 vs. Wild, there was already a predetermined scenario in the form of a plane crash that was inspired by true events. That Fritz Meinecke wants to occasionally check in could again indicate a role as an organizational member.
How realistic is all this? That season 5 of 7 vs. Wild will be filmed soon in Hawaii is conceivable but probably unrealistic. Series founder Fritz Meinecke would hardly drop such hints about the shooting location in a stream if it were really happening there.
Getting filming permits on the famous Hawaiian islands and ensuring that no tourist wanders into the filming area does not sound easy either. Ensuring a rescue chain on the islands also seems challenging.
The future will show whether the clever fans of 7 vs. Wild are right about their theory of the new season, or if Fritz Meinecke is just treating himself to a vacation. At the very end of the last season of 7 vs. Wild, the biggest mystery was solved: Viewers of 7 vs. Wild believed in a conspiracy to annoy the villain of the series – But now we know the truth
