ProSieben or live online on Prosieben Connect.
Hurrah! Die Sommerpause ist kaput, Stefan Raab’s back for another thrilling night of skill games and quizzes and tonight it’s a quadruple rollover, so he’s defending €2.5m of his own money.
WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN?
Well you can join us for a LIVE text commentary right here on the Bar, if we can get naughty streaming.
Viel glück!
Here’s a link, you might have to sit through a 30 second advert first:

OFFICIAL livestream at connect.prosieben.de thanks James (and ProSieben!)
You can just click the advert off by the ‘x’ in the corner. It won’t affect anything
Stephen having to carry one of the money cases round his neck, there are so many.
How do you carry five briefcases of cash down a flight of stairs? With one hanging around your neck, naturally.
Montage of the people den Raab has beaten thus far.
I hope someone turns the volume up on this stream eventually.
That Stefan piggy bank will haunt me for weeks. Thanks, Proseiben, I didn’t plan on sleeping tonight anyway 😀
Candidate one is Christian, a hipster geography teacher who also enjoys walking on pieces of ribbon and indoor beach volleyball, which feels like a paradox.
I wonder if, when bookies take bets on this show, they take bets on how many contestants will have footage of playing volleyball of some sort?
Hey folks. Just to let you know that you can watch SdR via ‘Prosieben Connect’. It’s the first time that Prosieben has done live streaming for any show, and the best thing is that there isn’t any geoblocking!

Nice one!
The online opinion poll is ‘interesting’ with Google Translate enabled:
Q) Do you think Stefan is able to increase to 3 million jackpot?
– Yes, definitely all the crushes!
– I think today is the candidate even think!
– I do not care as long as it’s exciting!
“Yes, definitely all the crushes!” currently leading with 53%.
It is quite interesting that normally you root for the contestant, but it seems in SdR the public tends to root for the Raab.
I think it is the case that many people want to see the jackpot keep on growing. Should it keep on rolling to Christmas we will see 3.5 million Euro. Now that would be impressive (a hell of a lot more impressive than Red or Black?)
Candidate two is Michael, a dental engineer (x-rays, I think?) who likes throwing hammers, and has passed his love of swingsets on to his two daughters.
VOLLEYBALL TALLY: TWO
Candidate three is Ilias, a medical student who… damn, check those abs.
Candidate four is Manuela, a something-to-do-with-policework who likes throwing blocks of wood and seems to be adept at track and field.
Candidate five is Sven, a bricklayer who likes football and riding his ATV. I can’t think of anything funny to go here.
‘Christian is good at beach volleyball’
So, out of the 5 Kandidaten, who would we most like to see take on Stefan? For me, I’d pick between Ilias or Sven.
I have a strange feeling that Manuela would be the best candidate, but Ilias is probably going to win the vote.
Now that there’s kosher streaming and I’m around, I’m watching my first ever German game show. Don’t speak a word of German… so the three words I’ve understood since switching on were “ministry of sound”.
Awesome. Be prepared for the long haul, this will go on a bit.
I’ve read the liveblogs before – I know how long these things last! I’m in for the evening.
Welcome Luke! You won’t need to understand much German (we certainly don’t!) – the games tend to translate quite well. There will occasionally be a german or german language centric game, but most aren’t like that.
Well, I hope you enjoy it and discover why we all enjoy it so much
Oh man, no adverts on the official stream.
WOW – amazing! I wish there was a way to increase the size of that window without making it full screen. Any ideas?
I feel a bit lost without the ads if I’m honest!
Having said that, it would be a shame not to hear VODKA GORBACHOV in an intimidating voice.
If you’re new, yes the ad breaks are this long, no they’re not every twenty minutes.
Thank you – I was wondering that…
This. THIS THIS THIS. I’m actually watching the unofficial one just because it’s bigger (and also I can’t get the official one to work, but that’s because of various script blocking I think)
I agree! I feel a little lost without the ads, and I’m even slightly missing VODKA GORBACHOV!
Can’t get it working here, so I’m on the unofficial one…
I’m on the unofficial too, the lower quality runs better on my less-than-adequate connection. What do they do during the commercials on the official stream, just throw up a title card or something?
Tum-te-tum.
It’d be quite funny if the show had started up again and nobody told the Connect stream.
WE’RE BACK.
One ,ucky viewer will win FIVE cars tonight.
Next Show – 17th November
17th November the next one, I think he just said.
Ooh, Ilias is third? that’s a surprise…
MANUELA!
And tonight’s lucky punter IS… MANUELA! The woman!
The next show will be on 17th November, it seems.
OK, the results are in! Let’s see who’s taking on Stefan tonight…
It’s not Michael
It’s not Christian
It’s not Ilias
And it’s not Sven
So tonight Stefan will be taking on…MANUELA
The next jackpot will be three million! Goodbye!
No, good luck to her.
Yeah, unfortunately, women don’t seem to do that well against Stefan and I mean that in the best possible way. If I remember right, the last time Stefan took on a woman, he shut her out 66-0
I’m super stoked for Manuela. I really wish I didn’t have to go to work in half an hour. I wonder if connect.prosieben streams on mobile?
It worked on my iPad.
Hoo boy…could be an early night for Stephan (I don’t remember- has a woman ever beaten him? I’m pretty sure the only whitewash was a woman..)
There were two whitewashes, one was a man. Dan predicted the whitewash around game 5, I think.
Sadly, I did, yeah.
IT’S A WOMAN! Fact: No woman has ever beaten Raab, although Brig will tell you an interesting story about that.
Don’t forget, SdR BEGAN after a female boxer smacked him one and gave him a black eye on TV Total, so the story goes.
OK, pleasantries out of the way. The quest for 2.5m Euro begins with
Spiel 1 – Koffer Packen (I Packed My Bag)
A mainstay of SdR, and a damn fun game at that!
Interesting, the first game appears to involve packing clothes into a suitcase. There’s a scale front and center, so apparently it’s packing closer to a certain weight?
maybe most items in without going over a weight limit?
Did anyone think that this game was going to be a memory one from the name?
Spiel 1 – and it’s a WHAT THE HELL IS THIS game
I didn’t grasp the rules, but maybe it involves packing the most weight into the bag in 2 minutes?
Game one, pack as much as you can in a lugguge case in two minutes. Get as close to 20kg as you can. I hink.
Presumably, this game is “Pack as close to X kilos”?
I like the background music – not too intrusive. Not sure I’ll be convinced if it’s the same for the next fourteen games!
I think it’s interesting how they’re picking up the suitcases. Manuela is picking it up from both ends, which I think would give a different feeling from picking it up by one end, like Stefan is doing. I think Stefan might have a less accurate reading as a result.
Raab’s bad 22.304kg.
Manuela’s bag 16.618kg. Raab wins!
OK, time for the weigh-in…
Stefan’s case – 22.304kg
Manuela’s case – 16.618kg
Stefan wins it
Manuela 0-1 Stefan
My favourite German phease: Erste punkt fur Stefan!
I was wrong, Stefan was closer, 22.3kg to 16.something. Stefan wins, 1-0.
Could they not afford proper seats at the podia?
It’s that sleek German design, doncha know.
They’re going to be getting in/out of them quite often. They’ve always been like that.
Spiel 2 – Blamieren Oder Kassieren
Heeeeeeeeeere’s ELTON!!!
IT’S ELTON! Very very early! Maybe he needs to go to bed early tonight?
Elton’s early tonight.
(that’s all the commentary I have while Who’s still going)
It’s an early appearance for BLAMIEREN ODER KASSIEREN!
It’s a regular quiz on TV Total. First to 7 points wins, wrong answer gives away a point and lets them answer themselves.
5-0 to Stephan already..
This looks like it could be over pretty swiftly.
Game two to Stefan without too much difficulty, 7 to 2.
Stefan 3:0 Manuela
