“Beat the star”: Tim Wiese doesn’t know the name of the chancellor, and wins anyway
In “Schlag den Star” two former athletes competed in a power duel: Tim Wiese (38), former national goalkeeper and former fighter, and former footballer Patrick Esume (46), now coach and presenter.
After two issues with women, it’s finally the men’s turn again, says commentator Ron Ringguth. And for what: “The smallest is 1.90 m tall, the lightest about 100 kilos.” The two powers couldn’t be more different. Esume, the eldest, is combative and jumps like a rubber ball during the five and a half hours of transmission. Tim Wiese describes himself as an early retiree and looks more sleepy and inappropriate than casual in a mouse gray and olive hoodie.
You wouldn’t necessarily expect him to be a competitive ex-athlete if you met Wiese on the street today. More like the ex-wrestler, his second short career attempt after years as a professional footballer (Werder Bremen). In any case, moderator Elton never tires of pointing out Wieses’ form and build all night long.. In all the games that have to do with resistance, he points out possible difficulties, favors the fittest Esume or quickly thinks that “he has already heard a gasp.” Body shame is fine with men.
Shameful knowledge gaps: Angelika Merkel?
The evening games are games that are fully tailored to male candidates, it is about strength and endurance, cars, beer and they have names like “Laying the cables” or “In and out”.
Tim Wiese quickly falls behind significantly. Esume is usually faster on the button or doorbell and generally knows a bit more. For example, in the game, in which false names of celebrities must be recognized. “Angelika Merkel”: Probably correct, Wiese believes.
Unfortunately no, point to Esume, who knew. In “Olaf Scholz” there is a groan from Wiese, he obviously has no idea if this is the right or wrong name. Esume, on the other hand, as a resident of Hamburg, knows the name of his former mayor.
Many question marks when guessing the names. Tim Wiese, moderator Elton, Patrick Esume (from left). image: screenshot prosieben
Maybe it’s just politics? Probably not, because Wiese doesn’t shine when it comes to questions about current events in the game “Shameful or Charge”, he hardly knows a TV star who has been asked. embarrassingly has to pass a football question. The question is about the manager changes this season and neither he nor Esume can correctly name the one from Schalke 04.
Elton with a nasty punch
Elton is glad when he is at least supposed to be the current host of the children’s show “1, 2 or 3”. He smugly warns them to see them: “You can learn something there.”
Esume also won the “Cars” game with ease. The manufacturer and model can be guessed here based on the photos. Esume suspects that this is because the selected examples were “too small, too cheap” for Wiese, and therefore he is not aware of them at all. “I would not have had a chance above 200,000,” he jokes. And with the Porsche, which Wiese would have known, Esume was simply faster again.
Wiese does best in the sportiest games. So he wins handball and it turns out that Esume doesn’t feel the ball because, as a former footballer, he had nothing to do with the ball in his position, he just had to push people. In the game “Die Theke”, Wiese can also move a mug of beer further than Esume. Commentator Ron Ringguth comforts the audience if someone cries over spilled beer:
Tonight, ProSieben is exaggerating with its own publicity. Not only that other programs and formats are constantly being pointed out or that the new version of “Schlag den Star” computer game is announced. Unfortunately, the hype extends to the games themselves. The highlight is when the ad partner’s car, which appears before each commercial break anyway, also appears in the “Cars” game. On the other hand, the secondary utilization of the internal FameMaker music format is pleasant to listen to. The evening’s musical program will be led by Basti, who came in first place, and Karolin “Cage” Gärtner, who came in second.
Esume is clearly in the lead at times and does better than Wiese in exhausting outdoor games. This is certainly due to condition as well, as Elton can’t get enough of assuming, but Esume just does better, dominating the ‘hand bike’ tour in graceful curves. But that also brings him a violent-looking collision with the gang.
Fortunately nothing happened to him, you just have to repair something on his footrest. Esume vociferously complains about this, in addition to a false start, and complains after the competition that “arms and legs, everything is acid” from the effort. Elton is annoyed by the constant complaints: “I’m just peeing,” he says. and nicknamed it “girl”.
Exciting race to catch up
Overall, the moderator apparently has little patience and a bit of wick after the grueling women’s duel from the last battle of “Schlag den Star”. When Tim was playing the picture guessing game “What’s wrong?” he presses the bell too soon, urgently admonishes him. Since Wiese is not particularly insightful, Elton becomes energetic and sighs at the end: “I thought that nothing else could come after Verona Poth. “
Not later than this game, the lazy and grumpy Tim Wiese woke up and struggled to fight his way from deficit to draw and lead. Esume can still avoid the first match point in favor of Wieses, so all 15 games are actually played.
The last game is, as is often the case, another game of skill. One after another, the balls should be placed on other free-swing balls until they give way under the weight and one falls to the ground. Even if Tim Wiese’s hands are a little more shaky and he’s more at risk with placement, he can win this game. Knowledge gaps or not, tireless sportsmanship prevailed here. For these reasons, one would have allowed both, but in this way a long television evening finally comes to a totally satisfying ending.
