What a concept: The host competes against an unknown opponent in an equally unknown event. In short: He risks making a fool of himself or ends up the loser. But Stefan Raab is known for his unbeatable self-confidence. "Beat Raab", the latest brainchild of the imaginative emcee from Cologne, has run nine times - always at prime time and until way after midnight. Thanks to a clever rating system, the winner - be it Raab or his rival - of the bow and arrow, canoe-rowing or intelligence contests, can't be second-guessed before the end of the show. He was both three-time winner in 2007 and three-time loser - to a police officer, a doctor and an engineer, who took home a total of three million euros. The concept of the show is so unique, that it was sold abroad as "Beat your Host!". "Beat Raab" is a production of Raab TV, subsidiary of Brainpool TV GmbH.
