Beginning in 2019, another version of the show called ''Schlag den Besten'' (literally "beat the best") hit the airwaves. Vastly different from the ''Raab/Henssler/Star'' format, this show contains no celebrity involvement outside of Elton being its host. Instead, the show has members of the German public facing off. For its first two seasons, two contestants would face off for up to 11 games; the winner would be awarded €50,000, and come back for the next show against a new opponent, with a chance to add to their winnings. Four episodes aired across the first season, and five for the second season, which aired in 2020, right before the COVID-19 pandemic took hold. The series returned in December 2022 for two episodes. The format was once again changed: this time, there would only be 10 games, and, while the winner of the last show of 2020 would return, he - being a cemetery gardener named Bjorn Beinhorn - would not be guaranteed to be around the entire time. This was because a pool of 10 candidates sat with the studio audience. Bornheim would choose an opponent to take on in the first game. If he won, the candidate would be done for the show and he would choose another competitor to take on in the next game. If he lost, then ''he'' would leave, and the person who defeated him would then choose their next opponent until only one person was left after the tenth and final game of the night. No money was awarded for this season. Since it aired close to Christmas, each time someone won a game, they would be taken to another part of the studio where Christmas trees surrounded 10 wrapped gifts, each one with a number on it, corresponding to whichever numbered game that person just won. They would then unwrap their prize. The higher the number of the game, the better the prizes got. Unlike ''Raab/Henssler'' and the current incarnation of ''Star'', ''Besten'' is pre-recorded. All of the games are played indoors, and there are no musical guests.
