22 screaming ladies, pardon 21, because a lady hardly speaks a word, fight in 2022 for the tall, blonde bachelor Dominik Stuckmann, who reveals his very specific family planning in episode one.
“It’s a man’s world” roars from the TV speakers as the trailer for Bachelor 2022 starts. Women who argue artificially in the intro and a blond gentleman named Dominik Stuckmann, who is supposed to radiate his charm on RTL this year.
A very contemporary theme song that originally came from James Brown in the 1960s, but when you look at the first episode of the bachelor, it’s actually an excellent choice, because some shots of the blond bachelor don’t seem to be up-to-date anymore.
January 1966, oh no 2022, in Mexico, a limousine pulls up in front of the bachelor’s property, but this time it’s a little different: “There’s no bachelor,” says one of the women in the car. Exactly, this year there is the TV show “The Bachelor” without a bachelor, in the first few minutes of the show the two candidates Josi and Christina R. actually assume this theory until the chauffeur slowly gets out of the car strolled down the long red carpet, taking off his gloves and hat.
Right at the beginning of the show, the ladies are “ripped off” by the bachelor
Only when he has almost reached the end of the rather long red carpet do the ladies in the car notice that the driver could well be the new bachelor. “We were screwed,” remarks one of the inmates. For the first, but definitely not for the last time in the popular dome show.
Right at the beginning, when Dominik introduces himself to the audience, he defines his emotional world as follows: “You can have feelings for several women at the same time”. It seems to be an exciting season, because in this TV format a loved one is supposed to be chosen. With this decision, his mother and grandmother could help him with words and deeds, who also have a say in Dominik’s round of introductions. “Don’t make any babies there,” his grandmother says to the blond single man. Advice that later turns out to be much more than just a cliché.
Let the games start with “Squid Game” music
Back to the red carpet. Once there, Dominik Stuckmann builds himself up and the music switches to the well-known song from the series “Squid Game” called Squid Game & Do It To It (Zedd Edit), a Netflix series about games of life and death goes. Wonderfully selected RTL, because some of the ladies from the following cars seem to feel that way too.
At a never-ending welcome ceremony on the red carpet, the bachelor sweats a lot, whether this is due to the tropical temperatures or the testosterone level of the 29-year-old is unclear. However, it is clear that some of the women’s blood boils, so he asks two candidates: “You are such a beautiful woman, why don’t you have a boyfriend?” A question that also seems to be from another time, because actually being single is no longer viewed as an inferior way of life.
When all 22 women have been welcomed in more or less detail, one of them doesn’t speak at all, it’s off to the bachelor’s villa to get to know each other and to have an artificially boisterous party atmosphere. The ladies all stand in a circle around the dancing bachelor and adore him, “It’s a man’s world”.
The silent Elina gets another chance to talk from Dominik, who takes her aside. However, she does not use this chance and remains silent. Two other ladies are more talkative in another corner of the opulent home. Even as one of the first questions from the bachelor living in Gran Canaria is how they feel about children and family. He is not interested in much more with Giannina and Yasmin, both only in their early twenties. Now we also know why Dominik’s grandmother had to give the baby advice to Mexico.
At the end of the first episode, there are three less potential bachelor baby candidates who did not receive a rose from Dominik.
