Betty Taube Exits 'Let's Dance' After Sunday 'Idols Night' as Joel Mattli Hits Perfect 30

The Sunday switch drew complaints that focused on long ad breaks plus dancer safety.

Overview

  • The 'Idols Night' live show on Sunday ended with Betty Taube and pro partner Alexandru Ionel eliminated after their 19-point Samba.
  • Swiss contestant Joel Mattli and Malika Dzumaev earned the season’s first 30 points for a Jive styled as Elvis Presley.
  • Esther Schweins danced a Slowfox despite two broken ribs, which her partner Massimo Sinató confirmed on-air and on Instagram.
  • This week’s format required two dances per pair and a 'Girls vs. Boys' group battle that added bonus points, with the men finishing ahead.
  • Viewers criticized the unusual Sunday slot and frequent ads, and the show now pauses for Easter before returning after the holiday.
