Bachelor David gets his beaurs creative in episode six, hands them over to dangerous creatures and ultimately makes – but that’s just our opinion – a big, big mistake.
yup, week six. And after all the time away from his adopted home of Dubai, Bachelor David reveals more and more the Stuttgarter in himself – he begins to wobble a bit. Can be found funny, but even funnier is definitely the first look at the “Ladies Villa”, which RTL allows us: there the candidates are pulling each other’s nose hairs out of their olfactory organs using wax on cotton swabs. Boy Boy. There are things that you don’t necessarily have to see with your own eyes.
The bachelor then has to provide a little more depth himself, albeit with a sledgehammer: he invites Chiara, Angelina and Alyssa on a group date where he wants to immerse himself in “the history” of women. In addition, they should be artistically active and decorate their “tree of life”. So hang a few dry branches with gimmicks or paint them pink. That then compares Alyssa with three years of therapy, for example. Can’t have been great therapy, but we’d better not tell her that.
The bachelor wants to know more
A surprise box that RTL treats to the candidates remaining in the villa seems to have a therapeutic effect in another way. Inside is a bunch of plastic sex toys that an intern in the nearest one-euro shop probably had to organize. Of course, there is a lot of bawling and waving fake penises, Leyla wisely apologizes in advance to the camera and bashfully asks her mother not to watch the next scenes. But even the matter-of-fact Henriette squeaked excitedly. Only travel friend Lisa watches from afar with a faint smile while the others munch on each other.
We’re sticking with the stark leaps between deep and drastic today. On David’s date, Alyssa tearfully reveals to him that she’s lost a child before. Hard grip in the hollow of the stomach. In addition, however, the art project turns out to be more of a contemplative, summery Christmas tree decoration with cute attempts at interpretation by the “artists”. But it’s worth it for rap journalist Chiara: David wants to keep her there after the end of the group date.
Kissing is only imaginary
So with Chiara not returning to the villa, some of the girls are imagining dire scenarios. “Dude, it’s fucking my head right now,” Rebecca wails while chain-smoking in the pool chair. “There will definitely be something happening today!” One wonders a little: Are you more afraid of David and Chiara actually snogging, or of David and Chiara snogging, without the others knowing that Rebecca and David were kissing last week?! So far she had kept that to herself. But now that’s about to change: all the women in the living room are rounded up for their big announcement.
The assembled troupe then at least react quite relaxed, even if Yolanda happily titled the revelation as “the bomb of the century”. Rebecca shouldn’t have worried at all: The bachelor and Chiara don’t kiss at all. Instead, they bond through sad family histories, are very emotional, and eagerly praise each other for their openness. But if the others probably didn’t think it was great either, they would have watched it.
Boat trip into the unknown
The next day begins for the candidates at dawn. At five thirty David sends a message to the mansion. “I’m really not an early bird who likes to catch an early worm,” admits Yolanda charmingly, not knowing that it will actually be about birds and Co.: The bachelor wants to be with her, Leyla, Lisa, Rebecca and Xenia go exploring the Mexican wildlife. Not only is Yolanda not a morning person, she is also, as she openly admits, not a great animal lover!
What David touts as a dangerous adventure is ultimately just a paddle boat tour where the Bachelor tour group gets to see an iguana, a parrot and a crocodile that Yolanda claims she can defeat in an emergency because it “can’t be so big”. So overall a bit anticlimactic, everything. To compensate for this, we then go to a small crocodile park, where the ladies are allowed to feed the animals, with extra martially prepared pieces of meat. “I’ve never fed a crocodile. I would never have said: Come on Leyla, we’re going to feed a crocodile today,” Leyla babbles heartily.
Women feeding crocodiles
The crocs are still happy about the food. After that, the ladies finally get something to eat. Soda and tortilla chips. A breakfast as you wish. Not. After this feast, David chats with Leyla and asks her almost sternly to finally open up more. It is clear that he only makes the super nervous 26-year-old even more nervous. You want to scold him for putting the cute Leyla under so much pressure. It’s obvious that she thinks he’s great. Can’t he just appreciate that?
At least Leyla, together with Rebecca, is later allowed to release two baby crocodiles from the park’s breeding station into the wild. That’s pretty sweet. And later in the day David even comes to visit the villa as a surprise, brings the women pizza and chats with Leyla again – the two jump over their shy shadows and get a little closer through chatting. Ultimately, however, it is Henriette that the bachelor kidnaps after his visit to the beach. Henriette then does what she always does: say sensible things. David likes that so much that he at least holds hands with her.
The bachelor can’t sing
Back in the villa, the bachelor pulls his care stick over what Rebecca says are “very soft” lips and then asks the girls to sing karaoke. And then he says – listen – that he doesn’t know the song “Zombie” by the Cranberries. What?! Even the contestants can immediately sing the chorus. A few other hit songs of varying levels follow, and the general consensus is: The Bachelor can’t sing well. At least he sees it himself.
The Night of the Roses then takes place on the Bachelor’s beach and pool. Of course there is the famous coconut schnapps, which Alyssa also has to mention by name. Then there is the usual tête-à-têtes between David and the various women. Chiara tells him that the others are scared of her (and she seems to be okay with that), Leyla grumbles, Yolanda grumbles, Alyssa even seems to be toying with the idea of getting out because she’s getting very emotional, so David comforts her and must build.
Shock at the award of roses
When he then steps in front of the assembled team with his roses, Leyla whispers: “I’m so sick, I’ll puke right away”, which hopefully refers more to her nervousness than to the sight of the bachelor. However, she can keep her stomach contents, because the first flower goes to her. So far all good. One after the other roses are handed out, we nod approvingly at each one – until it happens. The unspeakable. The sad. The thing that got us into a loud, frustrated “ARGH”: Yolanda gets nothing.
Yes, of course she was kind of too cool for David. Too confident, too funny. But how is it supposed to be now, without her bone-dry remarks? It’s just very, very unfortunate. And we really hope that RTL will give her some show format in which she can freely comment on things. It would be funny no matter what it was about. Much Yolanda-Love here. But: It’s all about David’s love. sigh.
