Trunk analysis and shoveling shit: This is how the men conquer Sharon Battiste
Put on your rubber boots and have a round of elephant dunk on the first date: that’s only possible with the bachelorette.

The bachelorette Sharon Battiste shovels through elephant dung with “the boys”, tries different types of worms and the reward at the end is a round of “dry sex” on the dance floor. The second episode was definitely intense in taste.
It’s like Tinder itself, first you have to dig through a bunch of “shit**” until you’re eventually rewarded and can find a potential partner among many. RTL summarizes the dating pattern of our time quite aptly in the TV format “The Bachelorette”.
The episode begins with an announcement at the “Boys” house, as Sharon likes to call the bunch of men in the Thai villa. One of the gentlemen speaks a word of power after moving in: “Please don’t all ship into the pool!” – Um, so some are allowed? After that has been clarified, actually sad that grown men apparently have to be told this, the rubber animals are brought out for the pool, wild grunting and dirty laughter can be heard, of course there are a few ass bombs and the hunting season is opened with dancing thrusting movements, just like in the animal kingdom. Worse than all the “Whooo” girls in this world, the men scream and cheer themselves. Sharon is only a casual topic, one is enough for oneself.
Soon the villa doorbell rings and the pack behavior is interrupted by the delivery of a wheelbarrow with rubber boots. Several in the group are wondering what these strange shoes are called again, hopefully the only “rubber” word that they have trouble finding the word for. At least they manage to agree on “rubber shoes”. Close.
The Bachelorette candidates find the trunk “hard”
The first date with the adored bachelorette leads seven men to an elephant farm. When Sharon Battiste announces that they are not here for fun but to shovel elephant poop, the gentlemen cheer again. There doesn’t seem to be any graduation of jubilation, it’s just great. Well then. When the men compare their trunks together (with the elephant), they find out: “Whoa, hard”. They still think the whole shit action is “cool”. Luckily less because of the elephant dunk, more because of the bachelorette in the Lara Croft look.
Sharon has a short single date with Jan, he stayed in her head from the start. But it doesn’t get much more interesting for the viewer. With others she cuts cucumbers for the elephants. Lukas breaks down the cucumbers like a man with a cleaver. From this, Sharon finds the transition to the subject of passion and learns that the large tattooed man also likes to be dominated. The elephant fun ends in washing the trunks together, excuse me, the elephants and a mud fight followed by a meal.
Dating lies like real life
Soccer player Max gets the single date of the episode. It goes with a small plane for a sightseeing flight over Phuket. On the plane, the two hug each other. Then comes the usual number in a villa, alone, in the pool in bathing suits. The body of the other is surreptitiously looked at and while dancing, they almost kiss. However, Max tells Sharon that he needs an “emotional basis to kiss someone and wants to take it slow.” STOP – Don’t you know this sentence from “normal” dating life? Right, here comes the solution. A little later in the men’s house, Max says after the date: “I don’t feel sexually attracted to her”. Thank you, always the same, the “slow approach” was once again just a nice excuse for not being interested.
The further course of the episode rather ripples along. With another horde of men, Sharon goes to dinner in Phuket in the evening, where the men also have to eat insects. Funny to observe: In the house there is also an insect delivery at the same time. The men perform better at jungle camp food in front of a woman than among themselves.
Now get to the bacon
Unexpectedly, fresh meat is added to the night of the roses. Two more men who look exactly like everyone else board the show. The group, of course, is not happy about more competition and is so disturbed that they flinch violently at the flash of a thunderstorm. Of course you have to compete even more for the Bachelorette. One pulls out magic tricks, the stripper strips the bachelorette, and another gets in touch with the dance so hard it’s akin to “dry sex” standing up. That’s too much for Sharon too, she says later in an interview. The man should stay anyway. Three other muscle “boys” have to leave the show.
All episodes of “The Bachelorette” are available weekly on RTL + and run on free TV on Wednesdays at 8:15 p.m.
