Tomáš Matonoha exits StarDance after 80s-themed night

Tomáš Matonoha and his dance partner Lenka Nora Návorková were eliminated from the 14th season of StarDance following the show’s sixth competitive round on Saturday.

The pair, who performed a tango to the song “The Final Countdown” by the band Europe, received the lowest score of the evening with 26 points, as reported by Novinky.

Host Marek Eben referred to the duo as the “East German couple,” a nod to the metallic costumes and the mustache Matonoha wore for the performance. Matonoha acknowledged the aesthetic, telling Novinky he felt a connection to the era from his experiences at youth camps in the former East Germany.

Marta Jandová and Martin Prágr lead the leaderboard

The evening featured a variety of styles, with Marta Jandová and Martin Prágr and Luciana Tomášová and Robin Ondráček sharing the top of the leaderboard. After performing a cha-cha to “Can You Feel It” by The Jacksons, the pair earned 38 points, including two perfect scores of ten from the judges, according to Novinky. Marta Jandová and Martin Prágr performed a rumba to Phil Collins’ “Another Day In Paradise,” earning 36 points.

Following the individual performances, the dancers participated in a team battle set to Michael Jackson’s “Bad,” where the red team—comprising Luciana Tomášová, Marta Jandová, and Tomas Sean Pšenička—each earned three bonus points from the judges. Following the team battle, Luciana Tomášová and Robin Ondráček reached a total of 41 points for the evening.

Physical and mental toll of the competition

The intense training schedule took a toll on the contestants, with Matonoha admitting to Rádio Impuls that the process was both physically and mentally taxing.

“I thought I would end up with a back specialist or in psychiatry by December,” he told Rádio Impuls, adding that he frequently practiced dance steps in his mind while trying to sleep. His partner, Lenka Nora Návorková, said that while she maintained her work teaching dance classes, the rehearsals for StarDance were consistently demanding.
