The bachelors slowly extend their tongues and the candidates discuss the art of kissing. Some women are already thinking about the sequel: “flanking away”.
The situation is becoming increasingly tense among the bachelors and their wives, because “the feelings are slowly starting to get going here,” as candidate Selin noted. After workouts and rugby, the bachelors also included French kisses in their selection process. For a few episodes now, Dennis and Sebastian have seemed to be committed to what they are really about: finding the future Miss Universe in bodybuilding. Consequently, the next group date begins with a training session.
“Hello, would you like to do some morning exercise?” asks Sebastian. Candidate Laura gives the only correct answer that can be given to this question: “No.” However, a few of her competitors have no choice: Sebastian orders them to workout on Table Mountain. What better way to enjoy the view of this famous Cape Town landmark than with a jumping jack. Jumping jacks seem to make sparks fly among the Bachelors. Finally, Dennis also met one of his favorites, trampoline Rebecca, while doing jumping jacks. So it doesn’t seem at all surprising, almost normal, that they Women on dates are said to jump like frogs who have sipped a can of energy drink. Romantic jumping jacks in front of the pyramids, the Eiffel Tower and the Empire State Building probably await us on the final dream dates.
Meanwhile, Dennis takes advantage of Sebastian’s free time in the Boysvilla and invites trampoline Rebecca to his pool. Disappointing that she doesn’t jump into the water with a jumping jack. Instead, we cuddle and smooch, or as Dennis puts it: “We’re both very physical and were even better at letting each other go.” He and Trampoline Rebecca seem made for each other in the gym. This is a thorn in Dennis’ side. Maybe Rebecca is too perfect, he speculates. “I need a little bit of the imperfect.”
Rebecca on kissing: “I don’t like this watery thing”
Meanwhile, Sebastian’s Tafelberg training reaches the next level. After the jumping exercises it’s time to abseil. He and his chosen one, Fabienne, slide down the mountain. In a conversation after the morning workout, Sebastian describes himself as “comfortable.”
In the “Ladiesvilla” it will then be time for an analysis. The women discuss the art of kissing. “I thought it was nice, but I don’t like the watery thing either,” says Trampolin-Rebecca. “I like it when only the tips touch.” Dennis, in turn, confides in Sebastian in the Boysvilla that the kiss with Trampolin-Rebecca wasn’t the best. Strangely, he doesn’t seem as pleased as he should be given Trampoline-Rebecca’s imperfection. The two bachelors seem to understand each other even better. It cannot be ruled out that at the end of the season Sebastian and Dennis will fall in love and open a fitness studio together.
With Trampolin-Rebecca, however, Dennis scored unexpected points because he didn’t touch her hair while kissing. She had been worried about her extensions. “The very physical thing” doesn’t go down well with the other women. Kim suspects: “He’ll flank us all one after the other on the dream dates.” It’s entirely possible that “away flanking” is at the top of the list of bachelors’ training plans.
But Dennis wouldn’t be Dennis if he didn’t invite you to another activity first: go on a quad tour with a select few. In the middle of the desert, a one-on-one conversation with Lisa follows, full of unexpected depth. “You always do licky licky,” she says to him, referring to his kiss with Rebecca. “Delicious,” Dennis counters quickly. Lisa has sand in her mouth, which makes Dennis keep looking at her lips. “It would have been a good time for a kiss,” says Lisa. Dennis kept looking at her lips.
Laundry hung incorrectly: a horror scenario for Sebastian
Meanwhile, Sebastian has invited Kim over for intimate conversations and even confesses his “quirk”: “I hate it when someone hangs up the laundry incorrectly.” How can you hang up your laundry incorrectly, Kim wonders. The answer: Different than Sebastian imagines.
The intimate confession doesn’t seem to have convinced Kim enough and the kiss doesn’t happen. In the “Ladiesvilla” she sets a new tone among the women and opens up a wild perspective: She thinks Sebastian could do a bit for a kiss. She still receives a rose on the decision night. “It’s always a hot moment,” says Dennis as the fifteen remaining women walk towards him and Sebastian one by one. The two men stare at the women like meat in the deli counter.
A little later, candidate Laura tearfully decides to leave because she doesn’t feel well mentally. “She has proven her talent,” praises Lisa. Fabienne and Selin are also allowed to go home; there is no rose left for them. Selin seems to be able to cope with it. “I would have needed flamethrowers to ignite that flame.”
