The casting show “Deutschland sucht den Superstar” is going into its hot phase for the last time. The first live show will be on this Saturday at 8:15 p.m. In mid-April, “DSDS” will be history. RTL has announced that it will end the format after season 20. Started in 2002, over the years the ratings had plummeted:

The question, which is now moving many viewers, has more to do with discord among the jurors than with crooked grades from candidates. Because since the tensions between Katja Krasavice (26, “Sex Tape”) and Dieter Bohlen (69, “Brother Louie”) became known at the beginning of February of this year, the two are now meeting live again for the first time. In the past few weeks, only recorded shows had been seen.

What has happened so far: A scene from the fourth episode of the current “DSDS” season is considered to be the trigger for the differences. You could see how Bohlen said to a candidate: “Did you do anything normal? Or did you just graduate and let yourself be noodled?” The scene could be seen temporarily on the streaming portal RTL. It was cut out of the version for classic RTL television.

Since then, Krasavice and Bohlen have been in the limelight. In a Tiktok video published two months ago, Krasavice took a hard swipe at her co-juror. In the argument about Bohlen’s dealings with women, she called him a narcissist and liar: “All the jurors on the show have been doing it for so many years. But believe me, Dieter: you found the wrong person in me. I swear Dir. Exactly the “bad bitch” Katja with her revealing outfits is the one who doesn’t put up with anything.” And: “Dieter, do you actually know how many jurors who sat next to you wrote to me? They said to me: “Thank you for not putting up with it.” And that they didn’t dare back then to say in public what you do with their psyche.”

Krasavice not only publicly criticized Bohlen for it. She also rapped in a song towards Bohlen: “Today my ass is more relevant than any of your German superstars.” The former Modern Talking singer then said in an interview with 104.6 RTL, among other things: “There are people and certain things that don’t interest me. They are at a level outside my perception sector.”

Bohlen told the German Press Agency: “We have two completely different attitudes. I say: “God put diligence before success. Do an apprenticeship, have a plan B.” She says: “Look here, I made it without an apprenticeship.” You have to accept that. But I hope that not many people take that as a role model.” You can look forward to this Saturday evening.
