Voting Controversy
Annemarie Eilfeld demanded a redo after she was eliminated in the Top 3 show. RTL admitted that a speaker in the “reminder” trailers following the show had told viewers to vote 03 for Annemarie Eilfeld and 02 for Daniel Schuhmacher. She called this problem a "scandal". The mistake wasn't big enough for RTL to bother with. After the initial show Annemarie Eilfeld had 19.3% of the vote and ended up with 19.8% with the second place contestant receiving a much higher total. Angry DSDS fans complained and demanded either a repeat of the Top 3 show or a three-way final between Annemarie Eilfeld, Daniel Schuhmacher and Sarah Kreuz. Annemarie Eilfeld's father was outraged over the error and reportedly considering taking legal action against RTL.

Famous quotes containing the words voting and/or controversy:
“Common sense should tell us that reading is the ultimate weapon—destroying ignorance, poverty and despair before they can destroy us. A nation that doesn’t read much doesn’t know much. And a nation that doesn’t know much is more likely to make poor choices in the home, the marketplace, the jury box and the voting booth...The challenge, therefore, is to convince future generations of children that carrying a book is more rewarding than carrying guns.”
—Jim Trelease (20th century)
“Ours was a highly activist administration, with a lot of controversy involved ... but I’m not sure that it would be inconsistent with my own political nature to do it differently if I had it to do all over again.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
