Deutschland sucht den Superstar Season 6 was the sixth season of Deutschland sucht den Superstar which is airing on the RTL network. This season's winner, Daniel Schuhmacher, was awarded a contract with Sony-BMG. The judges in this season are Dieter Bohlen, Nina Eichinger, and Volker Neumüller. This season is hosted by Marco Schreyl. The viewers chose the contestant's fates as they were able to call for their favorite contestant. As with season 5, the "top 10" was created by the top 5 contestants with the most telephone and SMS voting and the other 5 were selected by the jury.
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.
