Like this, two seasons with a total of 15 episodes were produced and aired in 2005 and 2006.

Season 3

In 2008 a third season was produced. The concept of the series was slightly changed and it was renamed Elton vs. Simon - die Show. Instead of having one competition per episode, Elton and Simon had to do several mini-competitions. The first one to win four competitions was the overall winner. Some of the competitions and the punishment were performed in front of an audience.
