Week five, in which Bachelor David digs through the crowd of single women that is slowly becoming clearer and lets the sun shine on his muscles on the beach in Mexico. Twelve women are still in the running, but running is out of the question – they are all lying around. It seems a bit as if RTL has to remind the ladies every now and then to take a shower and shave their legs, they’re so lazy on the sofas and pool loungers.
Even when a message from the cheerful bachelor heralds the episode, the enthusiasm is limited. And not even David’s invitation to our secret favorite Yolanda can provide momentum. Not even with Yolanda herself! Because she really wanted to eat something. And (that’s why we love her so): She has her period. “Once a month something knocks,” she sighs. Girl we feel for you Tammy also means well with the competitor: “Don’t make fun, if he wants to kiss you, don’t do: ‘Oyoyoyoy’! Stay serious!”, She drums into her.
The bachelor then kidnaps Yolanda to a mini-island with a small table set up for a romantic dinner. “Yes, good ones!” the Hamburg native wishes solidly as she lifts the wine glass to toast. She then visibly tries not only to be sarcastic and rude, but to demonstrate a little tenderness, and David also tries to acknowledge that … the two obviously get along well, but to be honest we can’t imagine that the two find each other romantically. David has too little self-mockery and Yolanda too much self-confidence.
In order to create a bit of atmosphere in the villa, RTL sent a gift basket from the coconut schnapps sponsor to the ladies, which for some reason not only contained alcohol, but also slippers (?!) with the brand logo. In the interview, the women even had to explicitly praise the shoes. Everything screams, only Giovanna finds reasons to be in a bad mood again. And Rebecca accidentally scratches Leyla’s nose with her toenail. Please don’t ask any more…
Meanwhile, David and Yolanda have switched to the cuddly couch by the pool and are trying to make romantic small talk. But then when asked what she doesn’t like to eat, Yolanda just says something like “brussels sprouts” and you want to laugh. And just because David doesn’t start laughing, we now want Yolanda to find someone who appreciates her style more. But that she still stays in the show until the end so we can keep watching her! After all, David gives her a rose in advance, so Yolanda stays at least a week. When the other ladies asked her after returning to the villa in the evening whether she now had more feelings for David because of the date, Yolanda replies bone dry: “Well, you can’t fuck with him anymore.” Queen!
The next day, David is visited by his twin sister Charlene, who lives in Miami, and whom he hasn’t seen in over a year. The two invite Xenia, Angelina, Tammy, Alyssa, Henriette and Rebecca to play basketball together and Charlene is supposed to ask the girls what they think of David. Alyssa is doing very well, Tammy complains too much, Rebecca insists too much on her sad past, Xenia and Angelina seem a bit like at a job interview. In the update with her brother, Charlene then names Angelina as a favorite – and Rebecca. She then gets another single date in the evening.
During the dinner together, David checks out Rebecca’s qualities as a potential child mother, buys her a packet of biscuits and takes her hand. This makes her so nervous that she asks for more alcohol, keeps touching her hair and suddenly forgets how to make conversation. But there is no kiss, which probably would have helped. “What is not, can still be,” comments David. Roses are red, violets are blue, no one knows exactly what that should be.
The women then spend the rest of the day bitchy discourse among themselves. At first, rap journalist Chiara does not believe that Rebecca, who has returned, was really in the mood for a kiss. Then Chiara thinks Rebecca told the others she just wanted to be the next Bachelorette. It was, we remember, Alyssa – but she only half admits it. Meanwhile, Leyla cuts her fingernails. And the topic of Chiara is not over yet…
At the Night of the Roses, Leyla reveals “that many in the house are already a certain fear of Chiara”, her announcements would be followed and she was even called “boss”. In fact, her tone is quite uncompromising with the other women, and when Tammy quietly expresses doubts about participating in the show, she’s quick to persuade her to drop out voluntarily. However, the first to leave voluntarily is the grumpy Giovanna. She didn’t feel appreciated enough and takes her imaginary hat. But Tammy actually follows after her, sobbing and sniffling and talking about homesickness.
After that is clarified, David grabs Alyssa and gives her a rose on the roof of his villa. In an interview, life coach David talks about how happy he is about Alyssa’s “development”. It looks a bit like he’s looking for a project rather than a partner. Then he also clarifies with Rebecca that they somehow missed the kissing moment – and makes up for it directly. Rebecca then also gets a rose and is carried through the grounds on hands by muscle man David. Then the remaining flowers are distributed – to all women except for the blonde Colleen. Already last week one had suspected that this would happen today.
