7:15pm UK time
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!
Lots of ways to play SdR at home, there.
Apparently the first two editions of the videogame have sold over 250,000 copies in Germany, so a 3rd one just came out…
No WiiU copy of the official video game yet!
(Doctor Who finished, I’m back now)
Game 3: Speed Badminton (speed badminton)
Spiel 3 – Speed Badminton
I remember this, it wasn’t particularly speedy, it just had Stefan and the candidate on squares of matting and no net
No Xbox 360 version?
And is that five cars being given away in the LTL?
Yep, for one winner.
So basically it’s a car and ~€75,000 from the sale of the other four. 🙂
Yep. They suggest each one is valued at 25k.
Elton drops some merchandise on the floor:
Gary Male: “That’ll be some wii on the floor then”
Dan Peake: “Elton having a fumble near Manuela”
I apologise for my mind-gutter proximity.
Tonight’s viewer question:
What can the kandidat win?
2.5 million euros, or…
mittelbraune regenstiefel
Someone google translate that?
“medium brown rain boots” according to google.
Yes, Manuela can win rain boots.
Medium brown rain boots…whatever they are 😀
Medium-brown wellies, I think.
But first a break.
I want to get some Wodka Gorbatschow for Christmas…
Game three is speed badminton. To be honest, I wouldn’t know what slow badminton looked like, it’s usually pretty fast in my mind.
And now I must leave. I look forward to reading the commentary later!
Later, Art
I really hate not having the adverts. I thought I’d never say that. Some sort of countdown on the livestream would be nice.
I’ve actually gone to the ad version!
We’re back!
I hope they keep the courts that far apart.
Looks like Raab’s wearing a knee brace. How will this affect his performance? Over to you…
(My answer, not much)
Oh wow, they are.
too far apart from what I can tell- Manuela keeps hitting it short.
Speed badminton, there.
Is “speed” the German word for “long-distance” or is this just poorly named?
This is horrifically slow. But actually quite oddly compelling.
I think we can expect plenty of German expletives from Stefan when he messes up…
Sounds like just screaming for now. But then he is rather ahead.
As usual, Manuela is having difficulty serving #fawltytowersreference
Looks like Raab was stiffed a point according to the video replay.
Language, Stefan. I distinctly heard a ‘FUCK!’ there
The umpire apparently too far away to make line calls.
Close game now, actually. Looks like it’s fairly easy to mess up and hit it short.
The time it takes for me to type something out, things change. Grrrrr. (also, what’s the win condition?)
16 to win, I think.
What are they playing to- 15? 21?
Ooh, Manuela fighting back here.
Stefan pulling away again, since Manuela seems to be hitting her shots quite short
Although, saying that, it is a VERY close game. 14-15 to Stefan…
And Raab wins 16:14.
He leads the match 6:0
Stefan wins another game! Whitewashes are short shows though 🙁
Manuela 0 – 6 Stefan
And Stefan takes it 16-14
Manuela 0-6 Stefan
Game four: backwards music.
Spiel 4 – Musik Ruckwarts
Backwards music! One of our favourites and one we can actually play along with!
Nice bit of Eurovision there?
The official connect stream very slow. Have had to transfer to unofficial stream. Still though.
THE SCORPIONS.
Super Trouper?
GET IN!!!
Well done! You did better than Stefan there, haha.
Hotel California the only song so far I’ve heard of forwards, let alone backwards.
I’m not good with music.
(oh and now ABBA ok I’ve heard them)
Euphoria
Stefan should have got that!
Indeed! I got it, I’m ashamed to say. Cracking toon.
Hello?
Hello! Oh, I see.
Meanwhile on Secret Fortune, they’re not doing very well. 40k and 50k going into the final, 2 questions in they’ve got rid of both!
I’m on FIRE this round ahaha
The only ones I’ve not gotten are the German ones and Lionel Richie.
Moves Like Jagger
Stefan gets the wrong classic rock song, letting Manuela extend her lead to 5-3!
Moves Like Jagger
Angels
Oh no, it’s Candle In The Wind.
Totally didn’t get Candle in the Wind.
Ooh, One by U2.
I’ve got six of these before either player, usually by a long way, and most of them I’m quite ashamed to have got…
Something tedious by U2.
DSCHINGIS KHAN!
Fantastic.
Dschingis Khan
That Kid Rock abortion of Sweet Home Alabama.
All Summer Long or something.
Yeah, you were right. Well done
