Influencer Bianca «Bibi» Heinicke was eliminated in the fifth episode of Let's Dance, while Gustav Schäfer scored 27 points despite an award in Rust. Viewer Elena gave the first 10 to Jan Kittmann, and two pairs achieved perfect 30s. Pro dancers Renata and Valentin Lusin welcomed their second child.
The fifth episode of Let's Dance delivered plenty of highlights. Influencer Bianca «Bibi» Heinicke (33) and partner Zsolt Sándor Cseke were eliminated after previously fighting to stay.
Tokio Hotel drummer Gustav Schäfer (37) missed the show's start after receiving the Radio Regenbogen Award for «Band International 2025» in Rust with his band. Singer Bill Kaulitz exclaimed on stage: «Hoch die Tassen!». Schäfer flew by private jet to Cologne and danced a Charleston with Anastasia Maruster; juror Joachim Llambi said: «Er haute einen weg.» The jury awarded 27 points.
Viewer Elena stormed the stage for GZSZ star Jan Kittmann (43) and his rumba with Kathrin Menzinger. Llambi brought her onstage and let her hold the 10-points paddle. Esther Schweins (55) dedicated her tango – her best per Jorge González – to her 90-year-old mother and scored 22 points.
Nadja Benaissa (43) with Vadim Garbuzov and Joel Mattli (31) with Malika Dzumaev each earned 30 points – Mattli's second in a row. Opening applause went to pros Renata and Valentin Lusin, whose daughter Tessa was born on Thursday. Renata posted on Instagram: «Yuhuuu! Wir haben es geschafft!».
