Accident Overshadowed victory of Hans Sarpei (Let's Dance 2015)

An accident has overshadowed the deserved victory of ex-footballer Hans Sarpei in the RTL show Let's Dance on Friday night: professional dancer Ekaterina Leonova is bent over at their last dance with evil ex-weightlifter Matthias Steiner. Unbelievable: The Dancer gritted his teeth and held to the end.

But after the show went the petite "Ekat", as she is known by all, quickly gets to the ground. A doctor rushed to help, partner Matthias Steiner stood helplessly. However, after the initial treatment then he grabbed his "princess", as he called them in a cutaway gag, and carried her off the stage.

"Ekat" holds at Let's Dance through to the end

Juror Motsi Mabuse could observe the accident accurately. Your guess: torn ligaments.

But instead, as announced, to go to the hospital, the brave dancer waited even from the end of the show. Waited with tears on his face from the result of the voting audience. With her ​​dance partner Matthias Steiner she finished at the end of the third place.

Palmed has another: Let's Dance 2015 winner Hans Sarpei. The ex-Schalke star has earned the victory.

All three finalists, alongside Sarpei and Steiner also presenter Minh-Khai Phan-Thi had three dances lay it on the floor: one chosen by the jury dance, a favorite dance and finally the Freestyle.

Boos at Let's Dance for juror Joachim Llambi

From Sarpeis Jury dance, the samba, the strict judge Joachim Llambi himself was impressed: "I am very enthusiastic about what you do with your body like that," he judged. ". That was incredibly lively and incredibly beautiful" to his favorite dance, hip-hop, said juror Jorge Gonzales: "That was the Hans, was the Cool-Man" for his freestyle gave it a standing ovation.

And boos. However, for someone else: Juror Llambi wanted at Hans Sarpei just do not pick up the 10-point plaques. Why not? Especially when short message service Twitter made ​​the rounds conspiracy.

Has Minh Khai Phan-Thi overused the lacrimal gland ?

For Llambi another candidate had deserved to win: In his eyes Minh Khai Phan-Thi was the best dancer of the evening. But the audience saw it differently. They chose Phan Thi, after jury points for first place, only to the silver medal. Maybe it was the overused lacrimal gland, to which the presenter in the final obviously put: When favorite dance she chose the Contemporary.

As if it can not be sitting on that Matthias Steiner had seen in the past week with his emotional Contemporary sensation. And after the Freestyle, a medley from the film Gladiator, suddenly spoke partner Massimo Sinato of grief and loss - and led his deceased mother five years ago in the field. Wanted since about someone jump on the emotional train, by Matthias Steiner is rushing over the past week to the final?

Steiner can not convince the Let's Dance Finale

In the final, the former weight lifter then unfortunately could no longer shine. He delivered a solid performance, but the freestyle to a medley of Andreas Gabalier, the audience was perhaps a touch too folksy.

Sarpeis Africa Medley contrast: pure party. That juror Llambi dance with nine points Rated comparatively weak crowd Sarpei was shooting. His comment: "I do not care." For the fans, it was probably an incentive, certainly to call for their favorite. And after the voting there was satisfaction. "Well, dear Llambi has probably brought nothing, Massimo and Minh Khai permanently prefer (...)", tweeted about _melanie80_ user.

Prominent supporters tweeting for Hans Sarpei

In the Twitter community was Hans Sarpei from the start of the shipment to the clear favorite. And he got prominent support: rapper Eko Fresh made in social network advertising for him. Rainer Calmund wished good luck, Christoph Metzelder tweeted "Mach et,HansSarpei" and even the FC Schalke 04 joined in: "Our voice you have a (...)!"

As good as the performances by Hans Sarpei were so weak was the mission as such. With four hours or longer, it has clearly exaggerated RTL. At 23.30 clock the last dance was danced. The winner was determined at 0.10 clock. Moderator Daniel Hartwich brought it tough monologues to the point: "So now we have you really the same all Gelabert unconscious." How true.

Too much chatter, too much advertising

Less chatter would have done the show well. Less advertising also. And less rapid runs and flashbacks. And if we're at it: less Sylvie Meis probably also. With their patch Anmoderationen and awkward questions she did neither himself nor the public a favor.

But fans of the Dutch are likely to look forward to: In the fall, there will be another dance show on RTL. And Moderator Daniel Hartwich reveals: The Let's Dance personnel structure will probably exist, including the moderators duo Hartwich / Meis.(source)
