Sorry for everything is the German version of the Belgian game show Sorry voor alles , which was broadcast on the Flemish TV channel Eén from 2016 . The ZDF began broadcasting first two double episodes on 7 August of 2019.
idea
In contrast to other formats with a hidden camera , Sorry, everything focuses on a single person, who was brought into staged situations without their knowledge over the course of several weeks with the support of friends, relatives and colleagues and was secretly filmed. On the day of the broadcast recording, the person is lured into the camouflaged studio under a pretext and only there learns that they are part of a television program. Surprisingly, she meets the initiated again there and is confronted with the recordings, about which she then has to answer questions in rounds of play in order to win prizes. In contrast to the Belgian original, in which one candidate is the focus of a one-hour broadcast, the ZDF presents two candidates in a one-and-a-half hour double sequence.
Game rounds
The candidates can collect points in different game rounds. At certain profit levels, they receive individually tailored prizes that increase in value. You will receive all prizes won at the end of the show.
In round 1 ( “Said! Done?” ) It is checked whether the candidates actually acted as they had previously claimed in the interview.
In round 2 ( “You have to know that!” ) The candidates answer questions about the (staged) events of the past weeks.
In round 3 ( “Who knows you?” ) Two selected friends or relatives are asked to guess how the candidate behaved in certain situations.
In round 4 ( “Really true?” ) The candidates have to guess which of 3 unusual events that are available for selection actually took place.
In round 5 ( “Everything noted?” ), The candidates must correctly answer as many questions as possible about the events of the last few weeks or during the show with “right” or “wrong” in a quick guessing round .
Candidates
Episode 1: "Alisa and Dennis"
In the first half of the episode, the bookseller Dennis from Kerpen was shown having a deliberately over-salted meal, a Krav Maga course, and a speech that he unknowingly mistook for a calf .

The candidate was rewarded with a box spring bed and trips to Lisbon and Iceland , among other things.
The focus of the second half was Alisa. She got engaged to her boyfriend Chris during the secret filming and was secretly filmed in a bridal shop, a restaurant and a (staged) painting class , among other places . Her father Thomas Kinne set a new world record for catching bridal bouquets while blindfolded. In addition, Alisa was surprised when her brother and his family visited, who had flown in from the Seychelles . In addition to a wedding dress of her choice and other prizes, Alisa won a road trip through the USA with a visit to a concert by Lady Gaga in Las Vegas .

reception
Audience ratings
The first episode had an audience rating of just 1.91 million viewers and was well below expectations. This rate corresponded to a market share of 7.0 percent among audiences aged 3 and over. Among the young viewers, the market share of 360,000 viewers was only 4.4 percent.
For the second edition, the show recorded even worse values: the number of viewers fell to 1.51 million, of which only 300,000 fell in the age group between 14 and 49 years. This corresponds to a market share of 5.7 percent in the total audience and only 3.9 percent in the target group of younger viewers. Oddsmeter.de comes to the conclusion: “The new ZDF show“ Sorry for everything ”is a mixed bag of entertainment show elements, but so far it has had problems finding its audience…. The surprise show with Steven Gätjen urgently needs a quota push. "

criticism
The criticism raised concerns about the candidates' personal rights. At the same time, however, critics also found words of praise for the implementation. Fabian Neveling wrote on the websitequote meter: “What on paper sounds like a summer show on a private broadcaster in the second row is in reality fine entertainment that breaks out of the usual clichés of hidden camera shows.” He only criticized “ the studio and the visual presentation ”and said:“ The on-air design and the graphics within the show also invite you to rework. ”His conclusion:“ With a little overhaul, “Sorry for everything” can be a great show. The premiere was definitely pointing in the right direction. ” Christian Meier said in Die Welt :“ The remarkable thing about 'Sorry for everything' is, how the… ZDF… succeeds, from a concept that arouses discomfort when you read it… friendly To fabricate banalities…. [T] he show hugs its protagonists, gives them prizes and celebrates them. The exposure turns out to be a friendly act. "Also Tobias Sunderdiek found in the Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung , which awards 5 out of 6 stars to the show:" Routine-friendly, even if it appears a bit very harmonious, the concept of the show works - as Sometimes an emotional, certainly not an everyday trip into the world of the candidates who are sometimes exposed to absurd situations. A successful start to the show. "
Frank Rauscher wrote in the Weser-Kurier : “The idea of intervening in the lives of unsuspecting people is questionable in principle, but in any case also spectacular. ... It's a TV show that is absolutely benevolent to its candidates, anything else would probably be a scandal in terms of data protection law. ”In terms of the matter, however, it is“ stretched TV entertainment with plenty of 90s flair - without jokes and Glamor ... without any relevance. ”Peer Schader harshly tore the show. He ironically awarded her the "first prize" for the "thousandth new hidden camera edition" and "the stupidest show name". It remains a mystery to what extent the ZDF can assume that the "stringing together of overly elaborately prepared equivalences" is suitable "as contemporary show entertainment" and that the candidates willingly endured such banalities "instead of showing everyone involved the bird". In the Süddeutsche Zeitung , Hans Hoff found the genre in general to be antiquated : Nowadays everyone actually knows "halfway" how to behave in a camera-appropriate manner. The actual gag, the surprise of unsuspecting people, is consumed “ultra-fast”. In the meantime you get surprise clips "easier, better and more uncompromising on the internet."
International broadcasts
In addition to the Belgian original moderated by Adrian Van den Hoof (11 episodes so far), a Dutch version (also under the title Sorry voor alles ) with 6 episodes was broadcast by NPO 1 in 2017 , moderated by the singer Jan Smit , who is also known in Germany .
