StarDance season 14 sees first elimination and high viewership

The fourteenth season of the dance competition StarDance continues to draw significant viewership in the Czech Republic, with the second episode reaching 1.53 million viewers and a 46% audience share.

During the second live broadcast, former tennis player Radek Štěpánek and partner Vanda Bartošová Dětinská became the first couple to be eliminated after receiving 45 total points and losing the viewer vote. Meanwhile, Vojtěch Dyk and Catharina Málek emerged as frontrunners, securing 61 total points across two episodes.

The competition has faced several setbacks due to injuries. Following the earlier withdrawal of Petra Nesvačilová due to an ankle injury, actor Tomas Sean Pšenička also reported torn ligaments in a finger, though he continued to perform.

Other notable moments included the appearance of former winner Veronika Lálová as a guest and discussions regarding the show's long-standing history in Czech television, which has now reached its twentieth year of production.
