Overview
- Bastian Bielendorfer and Özcan Coşar raced to a 45:0 lead by midnight after dominating early games including foosball, balance, music puzzles and a quiz segment.
- The turnaround began during the game 'Pärchenzaun', after which Lutz van der Horst and Fabian Köster strung together wins to erase the deficit.
- Production intervened mid-broadcast during 'Bälle treffen', as host Matthias Opdenhövel imposed a 40-attempt cap following repeated failures.
- The €100,000 prize was decided in the final game 'Lochball' shortly before 2 a.m., where the 'heute-show' duo clinched the match.
- Opdenhövel hailed the outcome as the show's biggest comeback, and Saturday nights now make way for 'The Masked Singer' from November 8 before 'Schlag den Star' returns December 20.
