Since its debut in 2007, the talent show "Das Supertalent" on RTL has captivated audiences with a variety of extraordinary performances. From the jaw-dropping act of Stevie Starr, who swallowed golf balls in 2018, to Paul Oldfield, better known as Mr. Methan, who entertained with his fart songs in 2009, and Michael Hirte, a heartfelt harmonica player who won hearts in 2008, the show has seen it all. However, some contestants seem unable to get enough of the format, making surprise returns. This was the case in the second episode of the show on Saturday evening, April 12, 2025, which many viewers will remember for its unexpected twists.
Among the standout appearances was Stefan Choné, renowned for his humorous "Bauchrolle" (belly roll) act. Choné, who has been a part of several seasons since 2009, including 2015, 2017, and now 2025, brought his unique flair back to the stage. This time, he donned a vibrant yellow Biene-Maja (Maya the Bee) costume and danced to Lady Gaga's hit "Born This Way." As the performance progressed, he began to slowly shed the costume, revealing only a snug black and blue underwear by the end.
The audience's reactions were predictably mixed—some laughed, others turned away, covering their faces or booing loudly. Juror Bruce Darnell found it hard to watch and turned away, while Dieter Bohlen, the show's long-time judge, eventually pressed the buzzer, signaling his disapproval. However, the true highlight came after Stefan's performance when Bohlen, never one to shy away from humor, pretended to call the police. "Hello, is there police? Send two cars and a caretaker. The guy with the belly roll is back. Twenty minutes? Oh my gosh!" This gag had the audience and jury in stitches, breaking down barriers of laughter.
As viewers waited to see if Stefan would advance further in the competition, another act stole the spotlight. Fabian Blochberger, a magician from Bremen, performed a teleportation trick that left even the skeptical Dieter Bohlen speechless. During his act, he invited two volunteers from the audience to participate in a mind-boggling display of magic. In a stunning visual, one volunteer was blindfolded, and after a quick curtain drop, he reappeared on a pedestal across the stage, leaving the jury and audience in disbelief.
Ekaterina Leonova expressed the confusion many felt, asking, "How is this possible?!" The energy in the room surged as Blochberger executed the trick multiple times, earning standing ovations from the audience. Bohlen, utterly astonished, exclaimed, "I am speechless!" Meanwhile, Tony Bauer jokingly mentioned he would like to be teleported to Rio de Janeiro by the magician, but only under one condition: "Maybe in the finale—or with the Golden Buzzer!"
The audience was eager for Blochberger to receive the coveted Golden Buzzer, prompting Bohlen to turn to his fellow juror, Bruce Darnell, asking, "Bruce, shall we?!" The two judges agreed, sending Blochberger straight to the Supertalent finale, marking a truly magical day for the performer.
As the second episode of "Das Supertalent" 2025 aired on RTL, viewers were treated to a blend of humor and astonishment, showcasing the diverse talents that continue to emerge on the show. The performances of Stefan Choné and Fabian Blochberger not only entertained but also highlighted the unpredictable nature of the talent competition, keeping audiences engaged and eager for more.
As fans look forward to the next episodes, they can already catch the latest performances on RTL+, where the magic and laughter of "Das Supertalent" continue to unfold. The blend of quirky acts and genuine talent ensures that this season will be one to remember.
