The DSDS live shows start on April 1st.
But Dieter Bohlen, Katja Krasavice and Co. have to do without a candidate.
He already threw in the towel.
Cologne – The anniversary season of “Deutschland sucht den Superstar” (DSDS) goes into the recall round on Wednesday (February 22), but it is already clear that there will be no more candidates in the live shows (from April 1). will continue.
RTL itself is quite cryptic when it announces it.
Exit from DSDS – candidate throws in the towel after recall
Can this season still be saved?
Since the sexism scandal surrounding Dieter Bohlen (69), DSDS has been at a record low, but the last word has not yet been spoken: not only do the candidates hope to score in the recalls and live shows, RTL is also very interested in doing so to get good ratings for the upcoming episodes.
Most recently, the numerous headlines about the pop titan almost exclusively caused negative press.

The DSDS jury is also in a bad mood: rapper Katja Krasavice (26) openly criticized Bohlen for his misconduct and is said to have even been muzzled by RTL for the live shows.
While at times there was hot speculation about the departure of the 26-year-old, the Cologne broadcaster actually announced an exit - not within the jury, but among the participants: "A participant has the show after the casting and recall Leave filming for personal reasons,” RTL announced on social networks on Sunday (February 19).
"Disturbing lines": RTL warns of song by candidate Raffaela
There has never been anything like this on DSDS: before Raffaela Raab's performance with her own song "Was du nicht will" the broadcaster warns viewers about the "disturbing lyrics" of her own composition.
As soon as the first tone is heard, it becomes clear that this was not exaggerated.
"I hope you end up in the chick shredder," sings the TikTok star, "There's still a spot for you in the slaughterhouse."
The jury around Dieter Bohlen and Pietro Lombardi is visibly irritated by this statement – and after a few lines, the pop titan waves the performance away.
RTL is keeping a low profile – neither the name nor the motives of the DSDS dropout are confirmed
However, RTL made few friends with the very general message: numerous DSDS fans demanded clarity about which of the 40 recall candidates the said person was.
There is no official confirmation in this regard, but candidate Kev Aremani claims on TikTok that he had to give up despite the golden CD.
The broadcaster has not (yet) confirmed this.
Just as little is known about the reasons for the exit.
It remains to be seen whether the candidate-off will also be discussed at DSDS itself.
The jury recently had to deal with an extreme candidate.
A radical vegan angered Pietro Lombardi (30) and Dieter Bohlen on DSDS.
