- Natascha Oxsenknecht addresses criticisms directed towards her
In a thrilling turn of events, the live show "Beat the Star" on ProSieben saw a dramatic conclusion as the Ochsenknecht and Pooth families emerged victorious. The final game, originally scheduled as "Hold", was replaced due to health issues with Natascha Ochsenknecht.
Natascha, a participant in the show alongside her husband Wilson Gonzalez Ochsenknecht, assured her fans on Instagram that she had informed the production about her condition. Verona Pooth, Diego's sister, expressed her belief that the Ochsenknechts deserved to win the show, despite some reservations about the fairness of the replacement game.
The replacement game, "Catch the Hat", saw the Ochsenknechts and Pooths compete once more. With a score of 71:49, the Ochsenknechts clinched the final game and the show. The triumph was especially significant given Natascha's recent health challenges, following a heavy operation. Her daughter, Cheyenne, paid tribute to her mother for pushing through.
Meanwhile, Verona and Diego Pooth agreed to the replacement game after Natascha's objection in the show. Diego, who will be starting an internship at a real estate financing company in Dubai, will be flying to Dubai that evening to visit his younger brother Rocco in their new family home. Diego and his family, including him, moved to Dubai around late August 2025, with Verona mentioning in early August that she would fly to Dubai in 10 days, indicating the move was imminent around mid-August 2025.
The live show was watched by 4.28 million people. The prize money of 100,000 euros was awarded to the Ochsenknechts for their victory. Diego, in his Instagram story, showed sportsmanship by acknowledging that the Ochsenknechts deserved to win.
Despite the challenges, the spirit of sportsmanship and camaraderie shone through in the final episode of "Beat the Star". The Ochsenknechts and Pooths demonstrated resilience and teamwork, making for an unforgettable end to the show.
