Menowin Fröhlich made it into the Top 20 Shows but was disqualified after he was sentenced to two years in jail for fraud and injury. Markus Derwall took his place in the competition. In season 7, Fröhlich auditioned for the show once again and made it to the final 2.
The only reason that the percentiles are shown in this show because there was a mix up in the voting (Stephan Darnstaedt was declared to be leaving the show until cleared up that the host misread the card) and were later published after this show.
