"Beat the Raab" - these 5 actions will not be forgotten!
Ending. Out. Past. Now Stefan Raab (49) actually hangs as announced his "television shoes on the nail". Nine years after the launch of "Schlag den Raab", the ambitious entertainer will compete against an audience for the last time on Saturday. In his best times Raab got a quota of 30 percent among the 14- to 49-year-olds. His stunts, which often went wrong, were the talk of the day. He will miss us. Also because of actions like this:
1. Raab's spectacular fall on a mountain bike (2010)
Zygoma: broken. Maxillary sinus wall: broken. This edition of "Schlag den Raab" will have long been remembered by the "Kampfschwein" (off-commentator Frank Buschmann) Raab. He had fallen over his steering wheel on a mountain bike and had first crashed his head on the ground. He was bleeding and visibly dizzy. After the first concussion, Raab went on anyway. Raab's comment three days later: "That's it with my international top-model career."
2nd candidate "Hass-Martin" (2009)
Of all the candidates he stood out the most: Hans-Martin, better known as "Hass-Martin". The then 24-year-old chemistry trainee caught this little charming nickname because he appeared extremely arrogant, loud and bossy. He constantly questioned referee decisions and ridiculed Raab. This was even eventually the stale Raab-critical audience to stupid. Boos followed. "Hass-Martin" took it easy and pocketed 500,000 euros as winner - with a winning smile and the following comment: "I did not come here to make new friends, but the money."
3. Sido drunk (2015)
So Sido probably had not planned that: When he wanted to sing together with Andreas Bourani his song "Astronaut", he forgot the text several times. Afterwards, the verpilte rapper explained his dropouts with the fact that he had to wait too long behind the stage and there were too many alcoholic drinks: "Beat the Raab just takes too long ... Too much time to mug !! Haha sorry! " On ProSieben you can watch the failed performance in full length.
4. Maria - the first and only winner (2015)
In nine years, inexplicably, only one woman managed to beat Stefan Raab. Her name: Maria. Your job: Resident of maxillofacial surgery. Your place of residence: Hannover. Unlike the eight candidates in front of her, Maria managed to bring Stefan Raab to her knees with ambition, concentration and perseverance and earn a million euros. Anyone who is as sympathetic-rancid as Maria, but has earned this honestly: "Stefan - the bad news: I shut properly, but the good news: I'll patch you back then synonymous."
5. The longest game: "Ringing The Bull" (2014)
There were a few protracted, annoying games on Beat the Raab. The bird shot down but this: "Ringing The Bull", a supposedly simple game that is often played in British pubs. Raab and candidate Peter from Berlin despaired of it. The task was to attach a hanging ring hanging from a string on a hook, which in turn was fastened to a wooden beam. That sounds a lot easier than it is. For a good hour, the adversaries fought a battle that went down in TV history. Raab asked in between desperately: "But someone has ever done it?" But Peter and he just can not get it. In the end, the game is broken without result. In the substitute game, Peter secures the victory and is richer by 2.5 million euros.
The latest issue of "Schlag den Raab" is on Saturday, 19.12.2015 at 20:15 on Pro Sieben.
