Sharon Battiste achieved 30 points with her substitute partner Valentin Lusin (actually she dances with professional Christian Polanc) on Friday evening. That’s all there is to “Let’s Dance”. The former RTL “Bachelorette” was all the more pleased after her dance. Together with Lusin, she celebrated the success in an Instagram video. But as in the past few weeks, the criticism of the actress does not die down.
“No matter how well she dances, you can’t force sympathy, she’s cold and hard in her movements, no matter how the jury freaks out,” commented a “Let’s Dance” fan under an official video of the show. Battiste has had to listen to this criticism online for several weeks. The chemistry between her and professional dancer Christian Polanc is simply not right, Battiste is just playing the sympathies – according to some of the critics. Battiste and Polanc repeatedly used social media to nip the rumors in the bud, posing as a team with the hashtag “Team Shapo”.
Battiste thinks about why it’s not so well received. “Maybe because I’m just a little more reserved when I was on Bachelorette. There are a lot of people here and a lot of them are very extroverted, which is great. I’m actually like that too, but then I hold back and I don’t have always have a saying in store,” she told the Watson news magazine after her 30-point win. “I think it quickly comes across as cool and maybe a bit distant. I’m just doing my thing here and that can of course be misunderstood very quickly,” says the actress.
The “Let’s Dance” fans seem to agree, especially with Boris Becker’s daughter Anna Ermakova. She is considered a favorite on the show and stands out with her reserved and friendly nature. No trace of celebrity daughter affections. Ermakova, who was born in England, had already said on Instagram before the season began that she “always dreamed of doing “Let’s Dance”. But she was also nervous about “performing in front of an audience and screwing up my German”. The status quo shows: For Anna Ermakova, the dance show could be the chance to step out of her father’s shadow and make a name for herself.
