tv3.lv reports that the sixth audition episode of the talent show “Ir talants” arrives without a Golden Buzzer, leaving judges Dons and Andrejs Ēķis to maintain the intrigue regarding the first four finalists, of whom two are known.
The Bottom Line
- Judges Dons and Andrejs Ēķis have yet to deploy their Golden Buzzers in the sixth audition round, preserving intense speculation around the remaining finalists.
- The upcoming broadcast brings a mix of contrasting formats, including contestants facing the dreaded red “X” and the anticipated return of a familiar show star.
- tv3.lv coverage highlights cross-border acts from Lithuania alongside diverse local talent spanning K-pop, aerial acrobatics, and original rap music.
The Ongoing Golden Buzzer Mystery
The race to the grand finale has already seen half of its premier slots claimed through strategic interventions by the panel and hosting duo. tv3.lv notes that Linda Šeļakova-Paulauska previously deployed her Golden Buzzer to send hip-hop dancer Roberts Zelčs straight through to the final stage. Meanwhile, hosts Rihards Sniegs and Mārtiņš Kapzems joined forces to award their Golden Buzzer to cellist Erna Daugaviete.
That leaves Dons and Andrejs Ēķis holding onto their ultimate decision-making power as the competition progresses. With the sixth qualifying round dropping this weekend, the pressure on the remaining performers intensifies. Neither Dons nor Ēķis has shown their hand regarding who might inherit their single guaranteed pass to the final showdown.
High Stakes and Diverse Acts on the Stage
The sixth episode introduces a stark contrast between breakout success and abrupt elimination. While some contestants take to the stage for their very first major television appearance—complete with the inevitable hurdle of momentarily forgotten lyrics—others must face the rejection of the red “X” from the judging panel.
The production welcomes an eclectic mix of performance styles, ranging from hip-hop, K-pop, and alternative music to rap, urban cheer, and aerial and circus acrobatics. International flavor arrives via participants traveling across the border from Lithuania. Furthermore, tv3.lv previews exclusive weekend peeks at Adrian Tersimon’s K-pop choreography and Guntars Kurps’ rap verses.

Returning Faces and Musical Collaborations
Beyond the fresh faces testing the waters of show business, the upcoming episode features notable returns. Patrīcija, widely recognized by viewers as Intrisha, returns to the “Ir talants!” stage alongside Sabīne Teleuca to debut a brand-new, self-composed hit dedicated specifically to judge Dons. This creative homage adds a distinct layer of personal performance to the competitive arena.
At the same time, other participants use the broadcast platform to transition into new phases of their creative journeys. The episode accommodates performers proving that reinvention can happen at any age—including those stepping forward after turning forty—alongside groups utilizing the high-profile stage to mark the official conclusion of their collaborative work.
Behind the Judges’ Desk and Backstage Support
Guiding the contestants through the psychological and physical hurdles of television performance requires a steady hand. The panel consisting of musician Dons, director Andrejs Ēķis, and dancer Linda Šeļakova-Paulauska evaluates each act from the main stage, flanked by hosts Rihards Sniegs and Mārtiņš Kapzems.
Operating as an energetic backstage duo, Sniegs and Kapzems balance humorous audience engagement with crucial emotional support for nervous performers. With every judge and the hosting pair holding exactly one Golden Buzzer for the entire season, the window for automatic qualification narrows with each passing weekend.
