Overview
- The Iconic Dances live show, which aired Friday, sent Bianca Heinicke and Zsolt Sándor Cseke home after combined jury scores and viewer votes.
- Two pairs earned perfect 30s as Milano with Marta Arndt dazzled with a Jive and Nadja Benaissa with Vadim Garbuzov moved the jury with a Contemporary.
- Nadja Benaissa and Vadim Garbuzov also won the Discofox-Marathon, which kept them atop the night’s ranking and had the show crowning Benaissa its “queen.”
- Judge Joachim Llambi’s six for Jan Kittmann’s Salsa, compared with nines from his fellow jurors, drew on-air pushback from pro Kathrin Menzinger and sparked criticism from viewers online.
- RTL opened a social media vote through Sunday morning to set the pairings for the May 1 partner-swap episode, with ballots accepted on YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram.
