For Vanessa Borck, 'Let's Dance' is over - Shock exits and perfect scores rock Let's Dance's Teenage Dreams night
The second episode of Let's Dance brought back the nostalgia with a Teenage Dreams theme. But the night wasn't all fun—some contestants struggled, while others dazzled with perfect scores. The competition took a surprising turn as one well-known host faced an early exit.
The episode kicked off with a shock as Sonya Kraus, one of the show's hosts, was eliminated in the first round. She missed her chance to relive her teenage years on the dance floor.
Princess Charming Vanessa Borck and her partner Victoria Sauerwald found themselves at the bottom of the leaderboard. Their 7-point score sealed their elimination, despite Borck's intense training—reports had shown tears and physical strain in earlier sessions.
Content creator Willi Banner and Patricija Ionel scored 17 points, the first time this season a couple fell below 20. Meanwhile, Ninja Warrior star Joel Mattli and Malika Dzumaev wowed the judges with a flawless 20-point routine. Actress Esther Schweins and Massimo Sinató matched their success, earning another perfect score.
Singer Anna-Carina Woitschack and Evgeny Vinokurov impressed with a rare seven-point hat trick from the judges. YouTube star Bibi Heinicke and Zsolt Sándor Cseke achieved the same feat, keeping them in the running.
No Angels singer Nadja Benaissa and Vadim Garbuzov also earned top marks with 20 points. But for Ross Antony and Mariia Maksina, the night was tough—their 13 points came as a harsh reality check after their strong premiere performance.
The Teenage Dreams episode reshuffled the competition, with two perfect scores and two eliminations. The judges' scores now set the tone for next week, where the remaining couples will fight to stay in the race. The show's unpredictability keeps fans guessing about who will shine—or stumble—next.
