Weekly scores and songs Launch show For the fifth time, there was a launch show in which each celebrity met their partner for the first time. This show aired on 26 February 2021. In this first live show the celebrities and the professional partners danced in groups and each celebrity was awarded points by the judges and the viewers. At the end of the show the couple with the highest combined points was granted immunity from the first elimination in the following week.
After Christina Luft and Christian Polanc won the Profi Challenge together the year before, one of them was allowed to choose their celebrity partner. Season 13 Champion Lili Paul-Roncalli drew the lot with Polanc' name. Afterwards Polanc chose Lola Weippert as his celebrity partner.
