For these lovebirds there was at „Let’s Dance“ no happy ending.
Mentalist Timon Krause (28) and his dance partner Ekaterina Leonova (36) was voted out of the show by TV viewers in the semifinals on Friday evening. A bitter defeat for the ambitious Russian, as she is considered a sure guarantee of victory by the RTL Schwof.
Whenever the duo performed, not only the jury took a close look. They were THE hot topic this season. Both are freshly separated from their partners. According to BILD information, Ekat broke up with millionaire Hasan Kivran (57) because he was too jealous. Timon dumped his fiancee after five years. The sparks didn’t just fly on the dance floor without any “legacy burdens”.
Deep looks and holding hands again and again – Cupid seems to have hit the mark here. The fact that “Tikat”, as they are called by fans, are now a couple should no longer be a rumour.
►Unfortunately, the spark in the semifinals didn’t jump over to the TV viewers. It wasn’t because of her performance.
In the first round, the two delivered a quick step that even shone with slapstick interludes. For “Hey, Good Lookin'” Ekat and Timon played an old married couple who want to know it again. Already during the rehearsals she really lit his buttocks. The professional dancer strictly: “You really have to step on the gas and not dance like a grandpa.”
Despite a great performance, it wasn’t enough for “Tikat” in the end
The number was well received by the jury. Motsi Mabuse (42): “A great story. You always come up with something special. High level comic and dancing is hard to achieve.” Her only criticism was of Timon. “Your shoulders slacked off a bit in the end.”
Also Joachim Llambi (58) didn’t have much to complain about. He praised the mentalist with a wink: “That was a great quick step. You showed grandma how it’s done.” There were 27 points for the dance.
The dream team also made only a few mistakes in the Paso Doble. He played the proud torero and promised during rehearsals: “It’s going to be incredibly cool. You’ve never seen anything like it.” After the performance, Ekat was so proud of her dance partner that she immediately hugged him.
Competition too strong for the “Let’s Dance” dream couple
Jorge González (55) was blown away. The runway coach gushed, “It was a very nice atmosphere between you guys. You always kept an eye on your dancer.” In places, however, he was a little lacking in stability. 27 points again.
Anna Ermakova dances for the title
Ekat and Timon worked up a sweat again during the dreaded improv dance that all four couples had to face in the semifinals. Each team had only 90 seconds to change. A small choreography should be rehearsed in 30 seconds. Both wanted to clear the ball with their Cha Cha Cha and once again scored a good 27 points. But the competition was too strong that evening.
Anna Ermakova safe in the finale of “Let’s Dance”
With ex-gymnast Philipp Boy (35) and his dance partner Patricija Ionel (28), Ekat and Timur had to tremble in the end about entering the final. Shortly before midnight it was clear: It wasn’t enough for “Tikat”.
Others will decide the victory next Friday among themselves: Model Anna Ermakova (23), Philipp Boy and influencer Julia Beautx (24) compete with their dance partners for the trophy.
