[Nicky91]

i've heard of 6/14

Hardy Kruger Jr well i think i've once seen the 2002 Dracula film, and of course from Asterix & Obelix vs Caesar LOL how his wife wanted him to take part and try to learn more dance moves and he is quite the music superfan

Michelle, well duh from eurovision 2001, but also from her relationship with Matthias Reim and being the mom of new schlager talent Marie Reim

Mike Singer, through DSDS quite like him, he is similar to HRVY personality wise

Sarah Mangione, through the soap Unter Uns seen her in quite some scenes whilst zapping through channels

Cheyenne Ochsenknecht, i know the ochsenknecht family reality show from media's, and i stanned her brother Jimi-Blue shame he had to quit because of injury still think he would've won


Caroline Bosbach, through her dad basically, since i follow german politics, and he was quite the leading figure among CDU in the so called Bundestag

[Nicky91]

Andrzej Cibis
Christian Polanc
Christina Luft
Ekaterina Leonova
Evgeny Vinokurov

General Ekat returning after that long absence


Massimo is back either

newbie is Zsolt Sandor Cseke, Malika's pro partner in various live tours


Pasha is sacked, probably just a one year deal with him and RTL or something


Patricija surprisingly in after recently just giving birth, her husband Alex isn't so he will be babysitting i guess

Isabel is back as well, after last year off for maternity leave either



yes strong looking pro line up

[Nicky91]

Ekaterina Leonova 3 time pro champion of the show


Christian Polanc for his 14th series as well


Massimo Sinato the winner of 2020 series with Lili Paul-Roncalli, and more like could see him as ''the anton of lets dance'' most popular and liked and respected among the pro's themselves


Isabel Edvardsson after christian and massimo she is another veteran of the show, also the one to dance with the first deaf person on the show (Benjamin Piwko back in 2019)


Vadim Garbuzov last year made history in the first male same-sex couple with Nicolas Puschmann but it is back to dancing with a female celeb this year


Renata Lusin reigning champion from last year, with Rurik Gislason and wife of Valentin Lusin


Valentin Lusin runner up of last year with Valentina Pahde, and husband of Renata Lusin


Kathrin Menzinger aka Crazy Kat, best known for quite some wacky choreography ideas


Andrzej Cibis or known as Andy, so far two 8th places with Cheyenne Pahde and Loiza Lamers, and last year his best result to date with Auma Obama


Christina Luft a runner up with current boyfriend Luca Hanni, in a iconic comedy contestant pair with Oliver Pocher, and last year with iconic newsreader Jan Hofer


Evgeny Vinokurov last year with Ilse DeLange, before that making his debut with popular reality star Evelyn Burdecki


Malika Dzumaev made her debut last year with popular schlager star Mickie Krause, and pro partner of newbie here Zsolt Sandor


Zsolt Sandor Cseke newbie this year, comes from Hungary, lives in Bremen


Patricija Ionel formerly last name known Belousova, now married with benched pro for this year Alexandru Ionel, made her debut last year with boxer Simon Zachenhuber

[Nicky91]

strictly could nevah get this STRONG quality veteran pro line up





am curious which of ladies gets to dance with our paralympian though, maybe Christina lack of shorter female pro's or Malika, i hope Christina for him then with her experience on the show


Ekat will get Bastian i think, he is tallest male celeb this year, almost Dan Walker's height

[Nicky91]

already a celeb rumour for 2023 even

Lucas Cordalis heavily rumoured for both Dschungelcamp and Let's Dance next year due to his forced withdrawal from this years dschungelcamp after a positive covid test



would be a good signing for lets dance he would definitely bring that MEGA schlager party vibe to the show and i am curious about his dance skills, not a certainty you are a good dancer if you are a schlager star (re: mickie krause last year) but i think he'll be one who gives his 110% in training

[Nicky91]

grosse kennenlernshow this friday


am curious and excited again for the group numbers, trio's and duo's


also excited to see who will dance with who, and if there are changes in those dance pairs compared to in trio and duo performances

[Nicky91]

ranking pre-launch show/pair reveals/first dances

1. Sarah Mangione (looks good, hopefully can dance well, seems like a very likeable girl as well)
2. Mike Singer (getting strong HRVY vibes from him but tbh young male singers can also easily flop in this show re: Lucas Rieger soo not overly confident on him but he is a quality signing)
3. Hardy Kruger Jr (idk if he can dance but come on a Dracula actor on this show is ICONIC even if from a lower budget Dracula hollywood film)
4. Cheyenne Ochsenknecht (pls have more luck on your side than Jimi-Blue, do your brother proud i'd say)
5. Mathias Mester
6. Amira Pocher (have to rank her high for now due to the fact i stan her husband Oliver but not sure if she'll be good or bad but we'll see)
7. Princess Lilly zu sayn-wittgenstein-berleburg
8. Janin Ullmann
9. Michelle (not sure one half of mine says she could be great but not sure what to think of her age wise, sooo halfway in my ranking for now but we'll see)
10. Timur Ulker
11. Caroline Bosbach (not sure what to expect from her just yet)
12. Riccardo Basile (he is easy eye candy anyway)
13. Bastian Bielendorfer (not sure about him can go both ways i think, and i hope he has General Ekat who can make a dancer out of anyone i think )
14. Rene Casselly (really hope he isn't as smug as he was on ninja warrior though)

[Nicky91]

[Nicky91]

ok my thoughts regarding week 1 (each couple)

Timur & Malika: this was so much good fun, decent score of 15 either, i am liking these two a lot, and am happy for Malika she now has someone who can dance 100% more than the wooden Mickie Krause of last year

Lilly & Andrzej: not surprised at all that they went out, found it all a bit too nice, too much posing going on

René & Kathrin: ok i'm slightly warming more to him and i am going to be controversial but i liked the acrobat move near the end to make it look bit more spectacular, but basic waltz content was also decent i thought for a beginner and for week 1

Cheyenne & Evgeny: from last weeks crap to this week being fab, this looked so glamorous i loved it

Sarah & Vadim: she has potential first of all but serious dances like tango aren't her strongest side, nice efforts though but i expect her to do better with the more fun dances and where she is allowed to smile in, good choreo as always from the king choreo Vadim

Michelle & Christian: undermarked i thought, some of those gancho's wow, very nice staccato, and personality wise i love her so much, nice chemistry as well

Bastian & Ekaterina: not deserving of that 1 score paddle i thought, taller males will always perform lesser good and especially in faster dances, great choreo from the general Ekat, loving the ''who wants to be millionaire'' theme as well

Caroline & Valentin: very classy, very nice quickstep, musicality fabulous as well, good start for these two and aw to see her dad cry in the audience

Janin & Zsolt: found this a bit too basic for my liking, too neat but good debut for newbie Zsolt on his first performance, since usually newbies go being too edgy choreo wise but this was neat and decent, but i think she is capable of a lot more

Mike & Christina: first of all at #TeamMagicMike i'm getting mike bushell flashbacks at that, secondly i'm calling him Mike ''No Hips'' from now on, he certainly isn't Mike Dancer, this was bad, very bad, and not even very entertaining, maybe he is a better ballroom dancer, just maybe

Mathias & Renata: this was so good fun to watch, um rude of Llambi to criticize his leg action since he of course can't get legs as straightened compared to someone of normal height, i thought he had decent efforts at the cha cha technique which is a difficult dance, also as for the lift, well i loved that, seeing Renata having best of her life is also nice to see, such a fun couple and i hope they may go far, very far

Riccardo & Isabel: better than i had expected, i do love this song a lot so maybe my bias for liking it, but he isn't a very bad dancer

Amira & Massimo: mediocre salsa, no i think Amira is more a ballroom girl, good thing they had the golden ticket anyway

[Nicky91]

and for next week in case one of the 3 with covid can't continue, last weeks eliminated couple Cheyenne Ochsenknecht had said she is eager to return if necessary

[Nicky91]

very good show last night

first perfect 30 of the series for Janin & Zsolt, for the first contemporary of the series

29/30 for René & Kathrin, and they won the bonus point by public vote for next week, phenomenal quickstep, like no gapping, everything so in sync and such amazing tricks, like a double cartwheel


Michelle underrated again by juries it was a nice waltz, undeserving of that 3 by Llambi she dances well for a 50 yr old also such a glamorous classy presence



great interval guest performance by Evgeny and his wife Nina, with a nice we will rock you samba
