Schlag den Star Ends in First-Ever Tie as Four Split €100,000

The unusual finish has drawn sharply divided reactions online.

Overview

  • The ProSieben celebrity game show, which aired Saturday, ended when both teams chose to drop their 4.7 kilogram bars at once in the final “Halten” test and share the prize.
  • Host Matthias Opdenhövel said it was the first tie in the history of the format.
  • Vanessa Mai and Lola Weippert faced Ekaterina Leonova and Isabel Edvardsson, and the four framed the call as a show of female solidarity.
  • Viewer response split, with praise on Instagram and a backlash on X that accused the outcome of being staged.
  • The broadcast stretched to nearly six hours and wrapped around 2 a.m., and Mai earlier took a ball to the face, bled, received care, and kept going.
