One of the “Shall we dance” highlights every fall is the iconic Halloween show. As usual, there was great excitement about which costumes would find their way to the parquet.
During tonight’s broadcast, a new move was also taken – all the couples were to dance jive at the same time in a knockout competition – couple after couple would be sent out by the judges.
That’s why he did not celebrate Halloween as a child
The one who stayed the longest got the most points.
First out was Thomas Alsgaard, then Michael Andreassen. Marte Bratberg was third out, before Andreas Wahl followed.
A clearly shocked Nate Kahungu was thus left with dance partner Helene Spilling – and got five extra points.
Attempt checked up by top athlete
In the dance duel, it was Marte Bratberg and Michael Andreassen who met.
Must eat carrot cake
All four judges thought it was the former who deserved to advance to the quarterfinals. The viewers agreed, and let Andreassen be knocked out of the competition.
– It’s okay. It’s sad to smoke, of course, but it’s been three wonderful months. We have been in a duel several times, so there was no gig bomb, he says to Dagbladet after the broadcast.
– I think a fifth place is to get far. Perhaps the most important thing for us today was that we did a dance that we are super happy with both. We are proud and walk out of it with our heads held high, he continues.

Now the 48-year-old is looking forward to getting back to everyday life, and especially to spending more time with his girlfriend and children.
– Tomorrow I will stuff myself with my boyfriend’s carrot cake, and sleep really long!
Damaged before shipment: – Everything hurt
Andreassen does not reveal which of the remaining participants he wants to see in a final, but says that he gives them all a place on the podium.
– It will be exciting and fun to see them further, I applaud them all, he says.
Read below for how it went at the other dances.
– A little hoarse
And especially this year, where the Halloween celebration has been more or less canceled due to the corona pandemic, it was perhaps a consolation that there was a real, scary party on the TV screen.
For Nate Kahungus (24), it was perhaps extra cool, as he never got to celebrate halloween as a child.

He and dance partner Helene Spilling also opened the evening, with a paso double to the self-written Halloween song “Thriller”. Dressed in Dracula’s costume, he delivered a dance that judge Merete Lingjærde declared was anything but “anemic”.
– That’s how you want to open “Shall we dance”, it is the quarterfinals next week, and I see you really want to go there, said judge Egor Filipenko after the dance.

He thought the dance couple delivered a “dritbra” performance, but that the former reality participant still had a bit to reach for.
He set the standard for the evening with a staggering 37 referee points.
The person who was commissioned to follow it up was radio profile Michael Andreassen, who delivered a horrible Argentine tango.
– I think this was a bit hesitant for me, I was a bit stressed from watching, said Tore Petterson.

Filipenko, however, was full of praise, and co-judge Trine Dehli Cleve agreed that the dance the duo delivered was very good.
The judges were still unanimous in the points distribution – it was four eights to Andreassen.

– Scary good
Viewers then got to see a character that was not unknown. Harley Quinn was last portrayed by Martine Lunde in 2018. However, Marte Bratberg (31) showed a new version – the DC character appeared in a new costume in the film “Birds of Prey”, which came out earlier this year.

However, the judges liked the psychopathic version of Bratberg.
– You are sick of character, fy father for an opening when you just clinked. I feel you took some of Benjamin’s character, you had something matcho in you, Filipenko thought.
– You are frighteningly good at playing the yeast, Dehli Cleve thought.
The radio profile was rewarded with a total of 35 judge points.
Reveals the real reason for the dance exit
Always terrified
Thomas Alsgaard made no secret of the fact that he is terrified of every single broadcast, and described Saturday’s broadcast as his “ninth Halloween”.
He and dance partner Rikke Lund contributed with a slow fox inspired by a music video from superstar Billie Eilish, and also used her song in the background.

– If every Saturday has been a Halloween nightmare for you, the fact that you are in it only shows what kind of athlete you are. Thomas, today I really felt like you were floating across this floor in a lovely slowfox, boasted Dehli Cleve.
Judges agreed that the ski hero had a powerful progression and Lingjærde thought the dance was “beautiful”. It was a points record of 32 points, and it was a clearly moved Alsgaard who humbly accepted the points.
– I felt I deserved it more
The best of the evening
Most recently, Andreas Wahl (37) and dance partner Mai Mentzoni took on the roles of Frankenstein’s monster and Dr. Frankenstein, respectively, during their Argentine tango.
– I think you have had an enormous development. Had I rewound to the premiere, I probably would not have picked you as one of the favorites, said Egor Filipenko, who later called the dance “the best of the evening”.

However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving.
“You are, of all those involved, the ones who are best at timing,” Petterson proclaimed.
The judges’ praise also reflected the points – tonight’s highest score of 38 points was a fact.
