Overview
- Final standings placed Harald Glööckler second, Michael Naseband third, Laura Maria Lettgen fourth, Erik (Satansbratan) fifth and Andrej Mangold sixth.
- Sat.1 acknowledged Joyn-app outages during the Michael–Erik decision, stated the result was already clear and restricted subsequent exit voting to telephone and SMS.
- Viewer frustration flared on social media, with Austrian fans noting they could vote only via the app, which heightened criticism of the process.
- Days before the finale, a technical voting error led producers to reverse Andrej Mangold’s eviction and allow him back, though he ultimately exited first on finale night.
- In post-show interviews, Ochsenknecht said he plans to put the €100,000 toward securing a home for his daughter Snow, as emotional moments in the studio included Désirée Nick’s revelation of recent bereavement and Erik’s tearful exit.
