Its entertainment value was no longer enough.
The remaining „Let’s Dance“-Couples can be counted on one hand: Only five celebrities were allowed to glide across the floor with their professional dance partners on Friday evening.
The motto of the evening was the biggest film music hits in history, and trio dances were also performed: Here, two partners danced together. While two couples were showered with praise from the jury and scored full points for both dances, one candidate had to recognize that juror Joachim Llambi (58) again criticized harshly after a few mild weeks.
Philipp Boy and Julia Beautx become final favorites
The former professional gymnast Philipp Boy (35) presented a tango to the film music of “Another Cinderella Story” with professional partner Patricija Ionel (28), which simply blew the jury’s socks off. Jorge González (55) enthusiastic: “Philipp, that was hot! It was such a passion, such a passion!”
► Motsi Mabuse (42) was on fire: “I have to pay Patricija a lot of compliments. Really great: Super, precise, elegant, sexy. But that doesn’t work without a hot man, and his name is Philipp.”
Joachim Llambi was certain: “We have the second final contender here. That’s what you want to see in a tango!”

Also on presenter Philipp’s tango had obviously made an impression on Victoria Swarovski. He then remarked: “If that looked sexy… My heart was in my pants…” A saying that prompted Swarovski to make a slippery comment: “That looked sexy. If it looks like this, when your heart is in your pants, you’ve done everything right.”
Llambi: “60 points, goodbye.”
There were 30 points in the first round – and the trio dance with Patricija and Christina Luft (33) gave no cause for criticism. Llambi commented succinctly: “60 points, goodbye.”
The jury reacted just as enthusiastically to the actress and influencer Julia Beautx (24). Jorge already saw her at the top: “You opened the competition for the final!” Motsi even crowned Julia Queen: “Today it’s: Dancing Queen Julia!” There were also a total of 60 points for her.
Anna Ermakova not with full marks on “Let’s Dance”
She is actually considered invincible – but on this evening she also had to Anna Ermakova (23) Take criticism. Her jive with Valentin Lusin (36) to Pippi Longstocking had too little pep for Llambi: “I missed a bit of speed today. It was a bit cumbersome.”

Motsi and Jorge had more compliments to give, but both only stretched the trowel with the 9. Llambi had just eight points: 26 points in total.
But Ermakova quickly found back to her well-known strength and enchanted audience and jury again with a hot trio rumba with Valentin and Massimo Sinató (42) to “Tell it to my heart”.
“Is that OnlyFans already?”
Even moderator Daniel Hartwich (44) was flattened and couldn’t resist a saying: “Pippi Longstocking grew up really fast. Was that still Rumba or already OnlyFans?”
Jorge would have liked to join the combo right away: “If you need a fourth: I’ll be there!” For this performance there was finally full points – and for Anna a place in the semi-finals next week.
Knossi has to dance at “Let’s Dance”.
So far he had danced his way forward with a lot of wit and mood – the moderator came that evening However, Jens “Knossi” Knossalla (36) is clearly at his limit.
Joachim Llambi was not impressed by Knossi’s performance
► The Quickstep from “I wanna be like you” from the Jungle Book made Llambi rant: “That wasn’t a quarter-final dance! That was first or second round. You’re starting too early. Out of tact. It does not work. Today with the Quickstep, that was a zero number.”
A Motz aria, which Jorge had probably not expected from his jury colleague after a long time of rather friendly words. He ran to Knossi and hugged him comfortingly: “Don’t be sad.”
Only four points from Llambi
Motsi and Jorge each had seven points, while Llambi only awarded four points. The trio-cha cha cha to “Mustang Sally” caused laughter – but with the best will in the world, Llambi could not recognize a place in the semifinals: “Today was the day when such a limit was reached.”
This time there were a total of 21 points, but even that wasn’t enough: at the end of the evening, Knossi and Isabel Edvardsson (40) had to pack their dancing shoes and leave “Let’s Dance”.
