"Bachelor in Paradise" final: The big sponge over it

2019-12-18T07:08:17.519Z


Boil it down instead of cranking it up: The finale of "Bachelor in Paradise" turns into a debacle of only half-clarified lies and embarrassing lack of interest in your own format.



At some point, you can be sure that Frauke Ludowig will suddenly point into the scenery and as a distraction, "Just look, a tapir!" calls. Or just cover your ears and sing according to Lalala, while on the sofa next to her a "Bachelor in Paradise" ex-resident is caught up in poorly crafted lies about whether he might be at home in Germany during his supposed mating time in the Thai fummel reserve had a girlfriend.

The final broadcast of the emotional residual food format was embarrassingly dying, as premium candidate Carina would put it - because she had no real interest in knowing which events from the past few weeks had really been sincere and which had only been acted out, but rather painstakingly tried to make the lapse Format continues to get a livelihood. Although it has become increasingly clear this season that a good part of his staff is more interested in new Instagram followers and tooth whitening mouthpiece advertising deals than in actual love initiation.

Together with Ludowig, the assembled ex-candidates look in the studio to see which of the five remaining final pairs decided to stay connected after the show. Carina and Serkan impress with jerk-free cliché talk ("What do you want in a relationship?" - "What I have with you."), Marco and Kristina are so disarmingly funny that one is inclined to agree with his mother : "Datt will watt".

In between, Filip, who assumed that Janina-Celine was on the show, was actually long forgiven and tackled her with insults like "Look at you, you are the shit on my toilet paper" on the Jade studio sofa: In truth, he only played the faithful single. Other ex-candidates shout in between the audience that they have the relevant evidence.

And Frauke Ludowig shows once again that she never really loved trash TV, because she roughly squeezes the fluffy, just hatched, yet nest-warm scandal chick - and moderates the helplessly strolling around in excuses with the completely senseless frothyness, man could just see "that great emotions can arise there." And wishes that these emotions should boil down now instead of doing their job and turning up the stove a few more steps.

"Bachelor in Paradise" final: couples on trial

It gets even worse with Nathalie and Micha, the long-term couple, staged as highly romantic, who were actually highly toxic during their time in "Paradise": he could not choose between her and a smoldering affair in Germany and played the passionately torn victim, she took it as a compliment instead of a warning sign when he told her that she was the first woman to whom he was really honest. And great bachelor Paul Janke, who acted as a kind of cold mamsell this season, praised Nathalie for her "generosity" with which she endured Micha's fickle grease game. After various conjunctive vows of love in paradise, he promptly served them for the other, hardly back in Germany. And now I walked from one excuse to the next on the talk sofa: "I did not say that I was with her, I said that my feelings were confirmed."

Once again the audience intervenes in the conversation like a solid Greek tragedy choir, above all the morally highly-acclaimed man Aurelio, mentions evidence of Micha's calculated double-track approach, there is talk of revealing voice messages, Amelie also knows, who would not want to know more immediately? "Some sell their mothers for fame," Carina calls out, "Everyone just has to find their luck," Ludowig says, leaving the viewer to do the elaborate puhl work to put together the actual background over the next few days from various instastory entries by everyone involved.

How to do it better is shown once again by the gay dating competition "Prince Charming", whose finale goes online a few hours later on TVnow - next year, the first season, which is currently available exclusively in the premium area of ​​the streaming service, is also to be seen on Vox his. Again, there were allegations that candidate Kiril staged his infatuation with fellow candidate Martin only to become famous, and Angela Finger-Erben investigated the reunion after the final in a friendly but persistent manner, asking questions like "Is that right?" , "why are you so upset?", "what are you getting at?", asks, really cares.

In addition to the highlight that in a German trash format for the first time extremely casual formulations such as "hetero-normative generalizations" (candidate Aaron) are used, the believed paradox succeeds in actually respectful reality television. Because Finger-Erben creates a framework in which the candidate Martin, apparently deceived by Kiril, can honestly say what many of his trash colleagues would otherwise only secretly feel: "I just wouldn't like to be here."
