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!
Nora Leibt Eis, which I think means ‘Nora loves ice-cream’
Interesting that German Braille has individual characters for ie, ei, and sch. Does English Braille have similar, anyone?
Yes – and even for whole words: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_Braille
I wonder if the indentations make it more difficult?
Well, the raised parts are made out of metal, I imagine the material feels different to the wood used for everything else (including indentations) but I guess I could be wrong.
Jens hat schnupfen means ‘Jens has sneezed’
You know how every SdR we have the ironic “THIS IS SATURDAY NIGHT TV AT ITS FINEST” game?
Hot on the heels of the LEGENDARY ToasterWatch, now we have this, I guess.
Don’t forget Tischdecken as well 😀 That was riveting…
Stefan seems to get that one wrong by just one letter, giving it to Manuela. You have to be very careful in this game!
Der korkenzeiher funktioniert – The corkscrew works
Once you notice the repeating four-note tension bed, it’s impossible to unhear it. And then impossible not to bring it to everyone else’s attention.
The Bells, THE BELLS
And so forth.
And ver Raab wins again. 17:4,
I think someone thought they’d get the hang of it by the third one, judging from its length.
Wolfgang spielt flöte – Wolfgang plays flute
I reckon Raab should have an elastic band stretching competition. Imagine the tension!
Looks like once again Stefan has the hang of a game long before the kandidat, getting his third phrase and winning.
Manuela 4 – 17 Stefan
My (imaginary) money is firmly on Raab to win this evening.
And Stefan wins it 3-1
Manuela 4 – 17 Stefan
Spiel 7 – Autorennen (Motor race)
Game 7: Autorennen. Car something.
Ah, a motor race! Raab’s life has now become endangered.
That looks pretty narrow in places.
Little haybale track set up outside. So it’s time for the break.
Bother’s Bar looking good for a record number of hits this evening.
Starlight Express, the most 80s musical imaginable!
An amusing take on The Exorcist, there.
Betfair currently has Raab to win at 1.09, and “Any Candidate” at 14-1. Things do not look good for the candidate.
I wish it were the other way round, I’d put big money on it.
Imagine if they made this a pursuit race with stock cars.
Knocking balls off of poles incurs some sort of penalty, I’m guessing? This is going to be a slow race if there’s many of those.
Oh, he has to get out and put the ball back on! Oh my, this might take a while.
Manuela locked in a portaloo while Stefan races, I see.
Five minutes to get as fast a lap time as possible. If he knocks off a ball, there is a stop and go penalty whilst he puts it back.
I guess it’s whoever can do the most number of laps in 5 minutes. Knocking any of the red balls off the poles means you can’t move on until you put it back
Barely enough room for the wingmirrors between those poles, Stefan keeps touching the one on his left with the mirror.
I think they suggested there’s only 1cm margin for error on either side of the car.
Requiring that the driver get out, put the ball back, and put their seat belt back on before proceeding – especially the seat belt – is genius.
And Stefan gets a sub-30 second lap time
Raab is very good at this!
Is it me, or are they racing in the same kind of car as they’re giving away in the phone-in contest?
It is.
I THINK it’s a Nissan Juke?
I just heard Nissan Juke so I think you’re right.
Well, the other one is red.
Manuela will nave five minutes to beat his best lap.
I don’t think she will. Another 7 points for Stefan in this game.
So Stefan ends his run with a fastest lap of 23.50 seconds. That will be VERY tough to beat
Manuela hitting on the left a lot too, she hasn’t gotten the positioning just right yet…
She’s getting closer!
Didn’t put the handbrake on.
And she’s lost. Stefan wins AGAIN…
Manuela 4 – 24 Stefan
Raab wins again! 24: 4 is the score.
Stock Car Crash Challenge in 13th October.
How come the Germans get awesome stuff like Stock Car Crash Challenge and we get crap like Famous and Fearless?
Because Stefan Raab makes it so.
Game 8 – Lawn darts!
Game eight: Rasen-darts
Spiel 8 – Rasen-Darts (Lawn Darts)
Raab having a few practice throws while the explanation is given. Manuela… not.
Lawn darts, without the violent impalement of normal lawn darts.
It amazes me how intuitively competitive Stefan Raab is. Straight away, he’s testing the darts while his opponent is standing around listening to the explanation.
Also, a producers nightmare. STOP FIDDLING WITH EVERYTHING STEFAN!
A big target on a slope at the other side of this lawn (fairly far away actually). 5 points for the bull, 4, 3, 2, 1 for the rings going outward. Best score in 5 darts I think?
It looks like quite a distance to the target.
