On March 21, 2025, the popular dance show 'Let’s Dance' brightened up the evening with a tropical twist, transforming its stage into a lively beach-themed party. This fourth live show of the season featured eleven remaining celebrities and their professional dance partners, who brought some heat with their summer hits and exciting dance battles.
The spotlight fell on musician Jeanette Biedermann and her partner Vadim Garbuzov, who opened the show with a Charleston. However, instead of their performance stealing the show, it was Jeanette's outfit—a bright yellow and blue ensemble inspired by the 1920s—that sparked a heated discussion among viewers on social media.
“Impossible to wear Jeanette’s costume... What a shame,” lamented one viewer, while another echoed, “The dress just doesn’t look nice.” To add to the backlash, Jeanette’s choice of song, “Juice” by Lizzo, didn't sit well with audiences either, leading one fan to declare, “The cover of Juice is an absolute disgrace.” Despite the audience's complaints, the judges were not deterred by the outfit or song choice. In fact, the trio—Motsi Mabuse, Jorge González, and Joachim Llambi—gave the performance a resounding 20 points.
As the competition heated up, the tension escalated in the studio. With the format requiring these stars to perform both partner dances and participate in group battles, the stakes were high. The candidates had to prepare two routines within a week, which added to the pressure to deliver their best.
As the votes were tallied, the anticipation built regarding who would leave the competition this week. History was made as Ben Zucker and his partner Malika Dzumaev received the unfortunate news that they would be departing after ending up with the lowest scores. This elimination was not unexpected; viewers had noticed Ben's struggles in prior weeks, where he consistently earned low points and faced critical feedback from the jury.
SelfieSandra (Sandra Safiulov) and her partner Zsolt Sándor Cseke were also in danger of elimination, alongside Jeanette Biedermann and Vadim Garbuzov. Unlike Ben and Malika, who faced a backlash, Sandra received more positive attention with her energetic Quickstep. The couple turned heads with their performance to “Walkin’ On Sunshine,” but unfortunately received only 16 points from the judges.
Show 4's jury results showcased some extraordinary scores. Fabian Hambüchen and Anastasia Maruster stole the show with a remarkable Charleston that landed them 28 points and the coveted first spot. The seasoned couple amazed the jury, who praised their energy and synchronization, with Llambi awarding them a perfect score of 10.
Marc Eggers and Renata Lusin also impressed with a strong performance, placing second with 26 points. Marc’s Charleston was described as his best performance, earning him high praise from all three judges as they applauded his comeback. “What a comeback! Last week you were almost out... This was a great Charleston!” exclaimed Judge Motsi Mabuse.
The competitive atmosphere extended to the group dance battles in which Team Ananas comprising actors like Fabian, Marie, Paola, Marc, Jeanette, and Simone triumphed over Team Flamingo, which included Diego, SelfieSandra, Taliso, Christine, and Ben. Team Ananas boasted an impeccable performance that earned them 10 additional points, ensuring their overall scores climbed even higher.
As the evening called for emotional farewells, the atmosphere in the studio was charged. Ben Zucker had been a crowd favorite but fell short when it aimed to secure votes. The online buzz regarding his performance showed a mix of disappointment and disbelief as fans commented on the perceived unfairness of elimination, considering Ben had received the same points as SelfieSandra during the week.
In summary, 'Let’s Dance' continues to captivate audiences with its blend of talent, emotion, and viewer engagement. Following the shocking revelations of eliminations, the remaining celebrities gear up for the next week, each vying for the title of 'Dancing Star 2025'—a title with immense pressure and high expectations. Despite the unfortunate turn of events for Ben and Malika, the competition remains fierce as the remaining contestants strive to become the last dancing duo standing.
