Overview
- The No Angels singer left the RTL contest Friday after earning 30 points for a tango with Vadim Garbuzov in Show 8.
- Viewers assigned the pairings for the season’s first partner switch via social media, which produced two all‑male duos for one night.
- The episode delivered peak scores as Jan Kittmann and Anna‑Carina Woitschack also hit 30 points in what judges hailed as the season’s strongest dances.
- Chief judge Joachim Llambi later condemned the result on Instagram as a “great injustice” and a “slap in the face for performance and fairness.”
- Pro dancer Malika Dzumaev collapsed during the live broadcast as host Daniel Hartwich called for medical help, and the competition resumes Friday, May 8.
