Before we begin, final reminder that the Poll of 2010 closes tonight at midnight, the results will follow ooh, sometime in the next week hopefully.
However tonight is the first Schlag den Raab of 2011. Look out as Stefan Raab and a contender play Ker-plunk for tonight’s jackpot of €500,000. Tonight’s musical guests are Bruno Mars, Adele and Max Mutzke (I know I can’t believe it either, Max Mutzke!)
The action starts at 7:15pm GMT (8:15 CET) on ProSieben, although hopefully there will be a naughty internet stream for everyone outside of Germany.
Here you go all!

Enjoy
First candidate is Postman Noyel
Second up is Henrik, and third in student Nevi
Stefan is still all strapped up, but looking happy as ever!
Everyone out this evening???
*moves out of the way of the tumbleweed*
Fourth up is James, Basketballplayer
Actually his name is Deaon
Last up is doctor Axel.
Nevi is the only lady this evening!
Sorry, I’m here, but I’ll be floating in and out.
Having only seen Deaon, I’d say he’s a bit too physically capable and would cream Stefan too easily especially if he’s still recovering, so I’m willing to bet he won’t be picked.
Also, Nevi is sadly not blue-skinned.
Cheers Art – nice to know I’m not alone! Lol
I have to say I reckon any of this lot could kick Raab’s butt!
Playing against Raab’s tonight is Daeon!
I reserve the right to be absolutely wrong, of course.
And it’s Deaon to take him on!
Game 1 – hold the ball – they have to hold a 7kg medicine ball between their feet. The one who holds longest wins
Game 1 is Ball Halten–“Holding a Ball”. They have to hold a 7-kilogram medicine ball between their legs as long as possible. The first to drop the ball loses.
They both drop the ball at about the same time, but the video shows Stefan dropped it first! 1-0 Deaon!
Photofinish – Game 1 to Deaon
Schlag den Raab now trending worldwide on Twitter!
Marc – I’ll leave you to the commentary – I’m putting the kettle on
Game 2 – eyes – recognise the famous face from just their eyes. First to seven wins the points.
Game 2 is “Augen”–Eyes. The players are shown a picture of a famous person’s eyes, and they must buzz in when they think they know whose eyes they are. A correct answer earns a point, but a wrong answer gives it to his opponent. First to 7 points wins.
Stefan wins the event 7-5, and now leads the match 2-1.
Game 3 is “Fussball-Tennis”–Soccer-Tennis.
Deaon takes the game and a 4-2 lead in the match.
Game 4 is “Schmecken”–Taste. The players are both blindfolded and spoon-fed a combination of 4 ingredients. Each one they can identify is worth a point.
Stefan wins the taste test 8-6 and reclaims the match lead, 6-4.
For those interested the ingredients were:
Spoon 1 – raspberry, corn, licorice and pepperoni
Spoon 2 – caper, asparagus, pear and caramel
Spoon 3 – grape, tuna, horseradish, marzipan
Yuk!
Game 5 – seesaw – weights on one end, contestants must balance on the other end making the weighted end stay off the ground – Deaon more steady and wins
Game 6 – mental arithmetics – sums!!!!
Game 5 is “Die Wippe”–Seesaw. The players each have 90 seconds to figure out where to stand on a long seesaw so that they will balance a weight on the other side. Stefan couldn’t stay on the seesaw very long, but Deaon did it rather easily and stayed on until the buzzer. It’s now 9-6 as we go into Game 6…
Kopfrechnen–Mental Math. The players are asked a series of simple math problems and must enter the answer on a touch screen. The faster one with a correct answer scores a point. A wrong answer gives the point to his opponent. First to 5 wins, and that’s Deaon! Deaon extends his lead to 15-6.
Deaon wins game 6 – in the lead 15:6
Game 7 is Zeitfahren–Time Trial. Given a target time, the players must try to drive their car 100 meters in as close to that time as possible. Whoever does that wins a point, and the first to win 3 points wins the game.
Deaon takes it, and extends his lead over Stefan to 22-6.
Game 8 is Zielwurfen–Target throwing. Both Deaon and Stefan are lifted by crane into the air so they can throw balls at a giant target on the ground. Whoever has the most points after each player has had 6 throws will win.
Stefan: 1 3 2 3 2 2 = 13
Deaon: 0 4 4 3 2 2 = 15
And Deaon wins again! It’s 30 to 6 now!
Game 9 is Wuerfeln–Dice. It’s a push-your-luck dice game. Players take turns rolling one die. If it’s not a 6, he may either roll again or bank the points he’s rolled. If a player does roll a 6, he loses the points he’s rolled on that turn. The first player to get 50 points wins.
That’s another win for Deaon! He now leads 39-6. Game 10 is that old favorite “Blamieren oder Kassieren”!
Anyone else looking forward to “Schlag den Raab: The Musical” and “Schlag den Raab: The Perfume”?
Deaon really knows his stuff. It’s now 49-6.
Game 11 is Curling. If Deaon wins this one, and Stefan wins the rest of them, we’ll have a tiebreaker.
Please start applying for Endemol’s new ITV gameshow which is set to be a smash hit: http://www.itv.com/beontv/newgameshowpilot/default.html
Anyone over the age of 18 and any gender will be eligible to enter.
Joe, no disrespect, but is there really a need to post that more than once (in different threads)?
Stefan ices Curling, making the score 49-17. It’s now a Matchball situation for Deaon!
What will Game 12 be? Find out after the break!
It’s “Wer Luegt?”–Who’s Lying? The host will read a statement, and then read a series of answers. The idea is to buzz in when you hear an answer that the statement doesn’t apply to. If you’re right, you win a point. If not, your opponent gets a point. The first to 7 points wins.
And Deaon takes it running away! He wins the game 7-2, the match 61-17, and a half million euros!
And they cut off the final freaking word of One Moment in Time. Anyone singing along at home just threw their remote through the telly in anger.
Thanks chaps, looks l;ike I gto back in from the poker at the exact same time it finished. Never mind!
Enjoy Talkabout!
I’m stunned that you don’t remember 8th place Eurovision acts from 7 years ago (defeating Scooter in the national selection process):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximilian_Mutzke
Performed at Istanbul simply as Max. How did a song as lame as “Can’t Wait Until Tonight” finish top-10? Scooter at Eurovision would have been massive at that time though.
