The third season of the German talent show Das Supertalent began on Friday, October 16, 2009. Subsequent episodes were broadcast every Saturday from October 17, 2009, to December 19, 2009. This season saw participants compete for a grand prize of â¬100,000. Due to the high viewing figures from the previous season, RTL increased the number of audition episodes from four to seven and the number of semi-final episodes from two to three. The Judging Panel once again consisted of Dieter Bohlen, Bruce Darnell and Sylvie van der Vaart. The season was again hosted by Marco Schreyl and Daniel Hartwich.
Of the 30 semi-finalists, ten appeared in each of the three semi-final shows, and the public voted three participants directly into the final. It was planned that the judges would select the tenth finalist from the remaining 21 candidates at the end of the third semi-final show. However, as the panel could not agree on a single candidate, each of the three judges was given a wildcard, resulting in a total of twelve finalists instead of the planned ten.
The eventual winner of the third season was Yvo Antoni, who presented a dog training routine with his dog PrimaDonna The runner-up, singer Vanessa Calcagno, and the third-placed pan flute player PetruÃÂa Küpper, released music albums after the finale.
From 26 January to 7 February 2010, the twelve finalists went on tour, performing together in twelve German cities. The following below lists the results of each participant's overall performance in this series:
