omg Benjamin, Ingolf :love: :love:


and our dancing love couple Rebecca & Massimo :lovedup:

Ingolf as the Grinch hopefully :fc:

comparing lets dance stars to strictly


Anna Ermakova ''hype'' was literally as enormous by the judges as for Layton by the judges, public vote wise on Ellie levels more like, a good allrounder, well loved by both judges and public


Ingolf Luck is their ''Bill Bailey'' comedian and oldest winner to date (they tried sabotaging Ekat back then when she won the year before with Gil Ofarim and she ended up winning back to back, and also the year after with world champion handball player Pascal ''Pommes'' Hens)


Benjamin Piwko is similar to Rose Ayling-Ellis, popular deaf actor from Alarm fur Cobra 11, reached third place with the wonderful Isabel Edvardsson (whom has been a pro since series 1, Isabel is their female Anton)


Moritz the ''Ninja Warrior'' star, runner up with Renata, was a very competitive pair these two



Rebecca & Massimo, well she finished in 7th place, but they fell in love afterwards, got married and are now the parents of two cute children, Massimo is also one of the most popular pro's among the public


Sarah Engels (formerly known Lombardi) also a runner up, with Robert Beitsch, but now has the honours of dancing with ''Mr King Choreo'' Vadim Garbuzov (Sarah is also a former dancing on ice runner up btw, after she did lets dance)

this next week :love:



also we have our first rumour for 2024

Thomas Gottschalk (73) Radio and TV Presenter, Actor (Sister Act 2 more notably for international audiences as ''Father Wolfgang'')
