Normally, Joachim Llambi is known as the "strict juror" of Let's Dance. That he lives up to his name, he proved last Friday, among other things, with his 5-point ladle for Lola Weippert. But: the native Spaniard can also do otherwise. Because: after the performance of Nicolas Puschmann he fixed a small rainbow flag at his jury desk.
But how did it actually come about?
Magic Moments at Let's Dance
The inclined Let's Dance fan knows that the show around the Magic Moments of the candidates is always something special. The task: dancing particularly emotional moments. Nicolas Puschmann, ex-Prince Charming, decided to portray the phase of his coming out and the initial arguments with his father.
The result was impressive. This opinion was obviously also the jury, which - once again - gave high scores for the man who actually would have been eliminated last week.
To show that Nicolas had finally made up with his father, a small rainbow flag was incorporated into the dance. This was first collected by Jorge, and then passed on to Joachim Llambi.
The latter fixed her in front of him - accompanied by Jorge's "Do it for the community!". For Llambi, the move seemed to be a matter of course. Even long after Nicolas Puschmann's performance, he was still sitting behind the flag.
Nicolas Puschmann's father - moved to tears
After Friday's episode at the latest, it should be clear to all viewers that Nicolas Puschmann's father obviously no longer has a problem with his son's homosexuality. On the contrary! He was visibly moved and wiped the tears from his face.
It is possible that some of you have wondered how a man who is so proud of his son could ever have been bothered by his son's sexual orientation.
But all that has now passed: harmony reigns with the Puschmanns - and the fans rewarded Nicola's performances with enough calls this time. He got further.
Lola Weippert must leave the show
Lola Weippert, who won the Discofox Marathon the previous week, is out. This was already somewhat apparent after her first dance, in which she was only able to score five points - also from Joachim Llambi. Even her fans could not save her after that.
How the Let's Dance journey will now continue for Nicolas remains to be seen. The probability that he will deliver again as usual in the coming weeks is high.
However, there was one thing that almost everyone agreed on Friday: even though it is a great pity that the likeable Ilse de Lange had to drop out due to injury - it is also nice to have Nicolas back on board.
A little bit of live feeling
The Corona crisis is tugging at the nerves. And many people are no longer in the mood for empty stands or "cardboard audiences". Accordingly, many people were probably pleased yesterday that two people per participant were allowed to accompany them.
With distance and under Corona conditions, but still: somehow one had the feeling to have come at least a little closer to the so often quoted normality.
