The remaining candidates get to know Bachelor Dominik Stuckmann’s mother. She dutifully gives her assessment before he goes on a date with everyone. It’s a bit like being on an assembly line.
“The Bachelor” is about feelings – in addition to things like awareness, Instagram and other show options, of course. But “feelings are a very big word,” relativizes bachelor Dominik Stuckmann right at the beginning of the show.
“The Bachelor”: Date with mom
During a visit to a restaurant, the remaining candidates meet Nele, Anna, Jana-Maria, Christina and Chiara Stuckmann’s mother. The bachelor doesn’t get tired of emphasizing that he has only introduced two women to his mother so far and now his cut would be messed up, after all there were five in one fell swoop. It is incomprehensible why he has kept his mother under wraps so far, because she takes on the task of getting to know the women quite confidently and openly. Jana-Maria and Nele have apparently read through the first chapter of the Schmeizen-for-Dummies book and are bringing gifts. Christina just wants to know if the bachelor mom would have a coffee with her.
Whether it’s because of the mother’s assessment or because you still don’t really know each other remains unanswered, but ultimately Chiara doesn’t get a rose from the bachelor at the end of the mommy date. Let’s continue with individual dates. First it’s Nele’s turn, with whom Dominik cooks together. Unfortunately, we can no longer reproduce what is being talked about, we nodded away for a moment. But then they kiss, but Dominik should take the first step, that’s important to Nele.
Lots of kissing and lots of small talk
After snogging with Nele, it’s Jana-Maria’s turn. The Rosenkavalier lies with her on a sun lounger and she tells him that if the cameras weren’t here, she would jump right at him. Of course, the bachelor pricked up his ears. Jana-Maria, who almost gave her heart away on the first evening, is “in love,” she says herself. Of course, the two are kissing, somehow you have to kill the time.
The bachelor has spent the least amount of time with Christina so far. They still hold hands. Conversations remain at the small talk level as they buy a few sticky jars from the souvenir shop, which should bring back memories back home for a moment if wiped down with the Swiffer once a month. At the end of the date, the bachelor wonders if he shouldn’t have given Christina more time. Well, the realization might come too late.
Anna teases him
The final act is the date with Anna. She got her first sleepover date in the last episode, which is a big deal in the bachelor/ette world. But first they have a problem to solve. Because Jana-Maria had told the bachelor that Anna would laugh at his dance steps. He doesn’t think that’s a bad thing in itself, and yet he wants to signal to the North German that it’s not nice. After a short exchange, in which the otherwise rather hypothermic Anna opens her heart a little, the bachelor is calmed down again and the two of them, yes, kissing. You don’t have to be a dome show expert to see that there is a spark between them. Stuckmann believes he has to conquer Anna – a fact that seems to irritate him.
With Anna, the big word from the beginning isn’t that big anymore: “I develop feelings for Anna,” he admits. Unsurprisingly, Christina doesn’t get a rose, for the last three (and the bachelor, of course) it’s on the dream dates next week.
