Detlef D! performed in “Schlag den Star”! Soost and Eko Fresh compete against each other. Many viewers now criticize in retrospect that it wasn’t fair.
On Saturday evening, the ProSieben program “Schlag den Star” flickered across home screens again. For the third time, choreographer Detlef D! Soost of the challenge. This time he competed with his wife Kate Hall against rapper Eko Fresh and his wife Sarah Bora. It was clear that both teams really wanted to win.
The teams already clashed in badminton. Because Eko Fresh and his wife were of the opinion that their opponent’s ball had landed out of bounds. But the 54-year-old dancer didn’t see it that way. “That’s on the line,” emphasized Detlef D! Soost. The point was then repeated.
Things got much more heated in a later game. Because both presenter Matthias Opdenhövel and Eko Fresh got the impression that Detlef D! Soost would coordinate with his partner – but in this case that was not allowed. “Don’t speak, please. There will be no whispering!” warned Opdenhövel. A little later, the musician also intervened: “Sorry. I really love you. But please don’t give each other tips. It’s about 100,000 euros!”
-Then a discussion broke out because the former “Popstars” judge denied having cheated. “That wasn’t a reproach. I’m just asking you,” Eko Fresh said.
Ultimately Detlef D! Soost and Kate Hall went home as winners of the competition. However, many viewers on Instagram felt it was undeserved. “Everyone saw Soost cheating,” one person commented. “The cheating couple won. Didn’t Matthias or the director want to see that?” someone said angrily. “At some point I turned off the television. That was too unfair for me,” you can also read.
Other fans are even calling for the show to be repeated. “It’s really bad, the Soost couple didn’t follow the rules of the game. That would be expulsion in sports. Win back, repeat the game,” noted one user. “ProSieben, you know that it wasn’t an honestly fought victory and that there should actually be a repeat,” wrote an angry viewer and emphasized: “Very weak, ProSieben, very weak.”
