Ekaterina Leonova Explains Early 'Let's Dance' Exit, Pointing to Tough Field and Viewer Votes

Her account shows how live pacing with audience votes can upend even top professionals.

Overview

  • Speaking on the Saunah Dran – mit Daniel Danger podcast, Leonova said leaving in show three with Simon Gosejohann reflected the season’s very high level.
  • She described Gosejohann as kind but a beginner at dance, saying the tight live-show schedule left little time to build basics.
  • She emphasized that public perception shapes outcomes because viewer voting can outweigh pure technique on the night.
  • She said the semi-final’s live improvised dance is the hardest stage, with heavy preparation and real emotional strain.
  • In separate comments, she said she needs a dental operation and is still waiting for her insurer to approve the cost estimate.
