Reader’s Report: At The Studio With The Stars Of “The Tribe”

I almost couldn’t believe that I really had gotten a seat in the show “Reläxx”, for the stars of the cult show “The Tribe” were going to be guests in the television studio at that afternoon. The entire day I had been totally nervous about meeting my favourite stars and especially Michael Wesley-Smith who I fancy so much!

And it really was awesome in the “Reläxx” studios, especially in the shooting breaks, as we then could talk to the ‘tribies’ as much as we wanted to. The funniest thing was when Mike (Jack), Victoria (Salene), Meryl (Ebony) and Caleb (Lex) exercised in speaking German. They all tried to pronounce “Du bist cool” (you’re cool) as good as possible. In addition, I tried to teach Meryl “Entschuldigung” (sorry, excuse me). Mike declared “Du bist heiss!” (you’re hot!) and everybody nearly died laughing.

For the recording, I had to ask Mike and Tori questions about “The Tribe”, which ought to be easy so not only fanatics could answer them.

In the end, everyone was dancing to the tunes of “Abe Messiah”. I didn’t really know where to stand myself so I firstly danced behind Mike. He suddenly turned around and asked me to dance with him. At first, I was totally shocked and couldn’t believe he was talking to me. But after I had composed myself and was lying in his arms, I felt like in seventh heaven. Sadly, the song was over after four minutes. I could have danced like this forever.

After this I had the opportunity to take photos and get autographs for me and my friends. It was an awesome day!
