On the evening of March 10, 2025, viewers of the popular ARD quiz show Wer weiß denn sowas? can expect an exciting duel as GNTM stars Barbara Meier and Kim Hnizdo step away from the runway to face off against each other. Both former contestants of Germany's Next Topmodel (GNTM), they will join host Kai Pflaume, who is known for bringing out the best—and, at times, the most humorous—sides of his guests.
Barbara Meier, crowned GNTM's top model back in 2007, and Kim Hnizdo, who won the show's 11th season in 2016, will bring their competitive spirits to the show. Meier is teamed up with comedian Bernhard Hoëcker, whereas Hnizdo is partnered with entertainer Elton. The quiz promises to be lively, not just because of the questions they will face but also due to the light-hearted banter expected during the contest.
Fans are eagerly anticipating this matchup, especially since the episode was initially slated to air on January 27, 2025, but had to be postponed. The excitement surrounding the show is palpable on social media, where some fans expressed their enthusiasm with comments like “Yeahhhhh bin gespannt” (Yeahhhh I’m excited) and “Wie cool! Werde mal reinschauen” (How cool! I will definitely tune in).
During the quiz, viewers will witness Hnizdo showcase her quick wit, as she recently surprised both her partner, Elton, and the audience with her clever humor. “Ich hab mir Topmodel-Unterstützung geholt!” (I got top model support!) she declared playfully, as she leaned on Elton during their banter—capturing her confident and fun demeanor both on and off the screen.
Meier's career took her from being the first GNTM winner to spotlight roles in German television dramas. She moved on from her model roots to star in various productions, proving her versatility. The mother of two, married to Austrian investor Klemens Hallmann since 2019, has also shared her insights on the realities of life as a model and actress—offering fans a glimpse behind the curtain of her glamorous life.
Meanwhile, Hnizdo has also made significant strides since her GNTM victory. With her experience on notable modeling projects and high-profile advertisements for brands like Opel, she's established herself firmly within the modeling industry. Following her triumph on GNTM, she not only pocketed €100,000 but also secured modeling contracts and appeared on the cover of prestigious magazines.
Both models will need to channel their quick-thinking abilities to excel on Wer weiß denn sowas?, known for its entertaining and sometimes quirky trivia questions. The quiz show has maintained its appeal since its debut on July 6, 2015. Regularly attracting over 3 million viewers, it has become one of ARD's staples, airing new episodes Monday through Friday at 18:00.
Led by Pflaume, the show has become renowned not just for testing the contestants' general knowledge but also for its unique format, which often relies on humorous interactions rather than just straightforward answers. For every correct response, the teams score €500, with some of the winnings going to the audience members who cheer for the winning team. Who will come out on top in this special GNTM episode remains to be seen.
Fans can watch the entire episode live on ARD or catch it later via the ARD media library. Whether it's the contestants' humor, the host's charm, or the trivia itself, the anticipation is high for what promises to be another entertaining installment of Wer weiß denn sowas?.
