Confusing Finale: Stefan Raab's Million Show Ends in Ratings Chaos and with an Unexpected Comeback Twist!

Do you remember the mega-hype around Raab's comeback? Millions of eyes were glued to the screens when his new show started. But as is often the case in life, reality didn't quite live up to the rumors. The ratings on linear TV? A complete ratings debacle. And then came the grand finale – as a "Bachelor" special! Yes, you heard right. Two TV formats, both struggling for their existence, teamed up for one last dance. A brilliant idea or a desperate attempt?

The "Finale" that wasn't one

Anyone who thought Raab would pull a fireworks display out of the hat for his farewell was (again) disappointed. Instead, we got the usual jabs at Harald Glööckler and Heidi Klum. Even Julian Nagelsmann's mustache got a brief screen time. But the absolute highlight of awkwardness? An interview with the Bachelors Martin Braun and Felix Stein, which delivered more cringe than content. The question of whether there was any kissing involved? Pure Raab pointlessness. And the million? As in all 31 episodes before, it remained unattained. Surprise? None!

The farewell that confused us

But the best came at the end – or rather, the most confusing! While we all thought: "That's it for Stefan Raab!", the entertainer suddenly shouted into the cameras: "We'll be back in September!" Wait a minute, WHAT?! Didn't RTL just make it clear weeks ago that this show will NEVER return? Pure confusion! Probably a recording that took place before the official end was announced. Raab didn't say a word about the end of his comeback show. Instead, there was only a teaser for "Stefan & Bully against some random guy".

Not quite the end?

But don't worry, Raab fans! We won't have to do without Stefan entirely. On August 23, there's a live show with Bully Herbig. The whole thing is titled "The Show of Manitu" and is supposed to prepare us for "The Canoe of Manitu", the "Manitu's Shoe" sequel, which hits theaters on August 14. So Stefan Raab isn't going out quietly after all. But the finale of his million show? It was a farewell that left us with more questions than answers. Typical Raab!
