my top 7 ranking

1. Mark & Kathrin (such a journey he been on, from too nervous to coming out of his shell beautifully as a more confident performer, also seeing how proud his sons is just epic to watch)

2. Tony & Anastasia (Nastia) (such a loveable couple tbh)

3. Detlef & Ekat (Detlef is everything what Layton isn't, down to earth yet so talented but most of all very very likeable)

4. Gabriel & Malika (seeing Malika slay puts a tear to my face she so deserves this tbh)

5. Lulu & Massimo (also good fun to see improve week by week)

6. Jana & Vadim (don't mind them, especially for King Choreo Vadim )

7. Ann Kathrin & Valentin (what is she still doing here lol, by far the weakest but yeah crying much ugh)

Team Jorge Gonzalez (Detlef & Ekat, Mark & Kathrin, Tony & Anastasia): a Medley of Michael Jackson songs

[Nicky91]

surely Ann-Kathrin's time is up tonight, especially in a Samba H2H against Mark & Kathrin's


think Jana & Vadim/Detlef & Ekat could also be in a bit of trouble with their quickstep H2H


am excited for Tony and Sweet Anastasia's paso to that legendary Morricone tune



looking forward the most to Team Jorge, because i like most MJ songs and is fun to see Detlef finally doing his thing, he used to choreograph for MJ btw

[Nicky91]

Detlef & Ekat: was a lovely yet undermarked quickstep, he played the genie character well and some impressive lifts as well

Ann-Kathrin & Valentin: HALLELUJAH the evil has been defeated, yet another ''give us nothing'' routine, back to basic and very wooden yet again


Gabriel & Malika: overscored if you ask me, judges seem to favor it for Malika to win this year i found it quite a generic viennese waltz and too contemporary for my liking with the waving of his arms

Jana & Vadim: like what Llambi said , this was ''grosses kino'' indeed, just wow and very deserving of perfect 30


Mark & Kathrin: nice samba, also nice opening with Mark singing first few lines of that iconic manilow banger


Tony & Nastia: quality western paso without ever becoming novelty but pure classy, solid spanish lines too, very gorgeous shapings, these two are consistently delivering good performances

Lulu & Massimo: same as with Gabriel, overmarked, a contemporary dance should be with a load more storytelling, this was just acrobatics jumping around from one place to another



the jury team dances

Team Motsi: Motsi her 5th jury team dance win very modern also very technically challenging routine she put together with her husband Evgeny, and beautifully executed by Gabriel & Malika, Jana & Vadim


Team Llambi: lovely homage to a brilliantly iconic musical that is Cabaret, Ann-Kathrin danced well i have to admit as well, Lulu was great too


Team Jorge: great tribute to Michael Jackson!!!!! and Detlef giving a masterclass in some brilliant MJ moves Detlef, Mark, Tony with Ekat, Kathrin, Nastia worked perfectly as a team as well

[Nicky91]

first of all Tony withdrew due to health issues, he did however perform one last dance with Anastasia


Ann-Kathrin was reinstated back in the competition



Jana & Vadim: such a beautiful more modern cover of christina aguilera fighter, very powerful routine too, deserving of a perfect 30 for sure

Lulu & Massimo: meh routine, although quite cute tribute to her husband

Gabriel & Malika: tearjerker a la kelly family, tribute to his mom

Mark & Kathrin: A-MA-ZING Singing in the Rain performance, got to know more about Mark now, apparently he became a actor because this was his mom's dream (whom passed away shortly after he was born she never got to live that acting dream) really hope he can make the final tbh

Detlef & Ekat: his wife Kate Hall sang during his magic moment AAAH, that was super lovely, the intro was wow, bit of his hiphopping in sync with the backing dancers

Ann-Kathrin & Valentin: this was nice, her personal best i guess, nice tribute to her adventures so far across the world

the dance duels

Jana & Vadim vs Lulu & Massimo; Jana had the highest score there

Detlef & Ekat vs Mark & Kathrin; Detlef had the higher score of the two, i personally didn't find Mark bad just Detlef outdanced him more polished but Mark was more natural for me personally

Gabriel & Malika vs Ann-Kathrin & Valentin: no surprises lol Gabriel ate in the boogie woogie and left no crumbs, Ann-Kathrin so wooden



Lulu & Massimo were eliminated in bottom two against Ann-Kathrin & Valentin least amount of votes



next week from the Kolner Musical Dome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
