A detail from the 7 vs. Wild episode is causing trouble among fans. The GPS transmitters should display the time. Fritz Meinecke is now making a statement on YouTube.

Update from 11/22/2022: Many fans of 7 vs. Wild have criticized the visible display of the time on the GPS transmitter. This gives the participants of the survival series on YouTube the opportunity to constantly read the time and thus receive precise information about the progress of the day. Fritz Meinecke was even accused of the whole show being a fake.

However, the YouTuber has now made a statement to the fans. Fritz Meinecke says in the video: “The GPS device, the orange one, has a time on it. That was already the case in Sweden. That’s one thing you can’t technically stop. I already explained that back then in Sweden in the Reactions that this is the case.

Unfortunately, technically there is no other way. In the end, everyone has to decide for themselves how you use it and whether you keep looking at it. That’s one thing I don’t think is cool, definitely, but it’s just the element of salvation and it wasn’t technically possible any other way.“

First report from November 21, 2022: San Jose, Panama – Surviving the jungles of Panama with as few items as possible is the premise of 7 vs. Wild. To do this, the participants in Fritz Meinecke’s YouTube show have given up all the comforts they are used to from their own four walls. This also includes a quick glance at the clock in order to be able to orientate oneself in time. However, fans have now noticed a detail that seems to refute this.

7 vs. Wild: Fans feel cheated by the show – GPS transmitter is supposed to show the time

That’s what it’s about: A tiny detail from episode 5 of 7 vs. Wild sparked a heated discussion on Twitter. While Fritz Meinecke is working on building his arrow for the daily challenge, the GPS transmitter of the serial founder can be seen on the waistband of the series founder. Contrary to what the fans expected, this not only shows an empty display, but what seems to be the current time. For many viewers, this makes no sense, because several participants had already complained about a lack of sense of time.

Fans are angry: Viewers of the survival show are very disappointed with this discovery, as they expected the lack of time orientation to also pose a challenge for the contestants. For some fans, this fact even casts doubt on the authenticity of the show, while others would at least have wished for more transparency on the part of the organizers. Sascha Huber also received fake allegations during the suspension at 7 vs. Wild. What the fans say:

• H dairy: “Well, it’s all about transparency. When I’m told they don’t know the time, they do. So where is the facade still crumbling? Where are more false claims?”
• Lens: “Didn’t they cry all night that they had no idea what time it was?”
• Lil John: “That’s really confusing me right now, I’m looking forward to statements, they’ve always cried about the time and I’ve never understood anyone who doubted the authenticity, but that’s really suspect.”

7 vs. Wild: Fans disappointed because of GPS transmitter – voices of dissent are raised

What dissenters say: Apparently, the time on Fritz Meinecke’s GPS transmitter was not a surprise for all fans, because this topic was probably already taken up in the first season of 7 vs. Wild. There it was said that it could not be prevented to display a time on the emergency devices. However, the participants were asked not to look at them.

However, some fans are also assuming 7 vs Wild Season 2 that this time it’s a timer to indicate when contestants should send their next code green, so confirm that they’re still fine goes. Because if this code is not sent at certain intervals, the collection of the respective candidate will be initiated immediately. The founder of the series could also have thought about picking it up, because Fritz Meinecke already has serious doubts about his participation in 7 vs. Wild.

And even if the time is set incorrectly on the devices, the past hours displayed could still provide a temporal orientation. But regardless of whether it’s a timer or clock, it remains questionable what advantage the participants can actually draw from their GPS transmitters. In episode 6, we’ll see what happens next for the candidates in the jungle. We’ve already put together an overview of all the episodes of 7 vs. Wild for you.
