The next lady has to take off her dancing shoes at "Let's Dance": It wasn't enough for model Kim Riekenberg.
In the second regular "Let's Dance" edition, after the departure of singer Vanessa Neigert (28) in the previous week, only 13 dance couples fought to get ahead. And again a celebrity had to pack their bags and leave the dance adventure on RTL (also on TVNow). Model Kim Riekenberg (26) could neither convince the jury consisting of Joachim Llambi (56), Motsi Mabuse (39) and Jorge González (53) nor the audience with her performance. And the level of the dances also varied greatly again.
Professional boxer Simon Zachenhuber (23) and his dance partner Patricija Belousova (26) made a "good start" with a "Cha-Cha-Cha", as the jury unanimously agreed. Nevertheless, they were rewarded with a mixed 15 points. Auma Obama (61), the half-sister of Barack Obama (59), had apparently put away the nervousness from the first show, increased significantly and scored a strong 23 points.
Ex- "Prince Charming" Nicolas Puschmann (29) was also more on point and more concentrated than in the previous week (18 points). This was reflected directly in a point yield of at least 21 points. Singer Senna Gammour (41) and dance professional Robert Beitsch (29), who recently had to tremble, got off to a good start in their jive performance, but dropped in half and accordingly only got twelve points. Singer Ilse DeLange (43) apparently still has a lot to work on. After a mixed performance it was at least 15 points.
First a schnapps
Actor Erol Sander (52) next laced up his dancing shoes and, according to Mabuse, brought everything that was needed, but could not use it profitably. For Llambi "everything was too much" – only 12 points. The next male celebrity was Kai Ebel (56). The sports reporter clearly missed his goal of achieving a "three-digit" number of points, despite his full commitment: 13 points. Moderator Lola Weippert (24) did a lot better with her dance partner Christian Polanc (42) and delivered a "really good dance", as González judged: 21 points.
The self-proclaimed "joker in 'Let's Dance'", singer Mickie Krause (50), distributed "the best grain from the Münsterland" after his performance. This attempt at bribery had no influence on the jury's verdict, which although Krause attested an increase over the previous week, still only awarded 11 points. The former "Tagesschau" spokesman Jan Hofer (69) again only got ten points, even if his dance partner Christina Luft (31) had given everything at the rumba to turn the "Rhenish boy into a Latin lover".
"Knock out the ten points!"
Then it was the turn of the favorite pair Rurik Gislason (33) and Renata Lusin (33), who got the most points (24) in the last episode. They easily exceeded that: 27 points. Model Kim Riekenberg failed too often for the taste of the jury and only got ten points. On the contrary, actress Valentina Pahde (26). Completely exhausted, she got the full 30 points for a perfect quickstep.
