Bauer Sucht Frau Season 21 Opens With Early Kisses, a Surprise Contestant and a Widower’s ‘K.O. List’

Episode 1 streams now on RTL+ with the TV debut set for Nov. 3 at 20:15 on RTL.

Overview

  • Johann, a 60-year-old cattle farmer and widower, joins to honor his late wife's wish and reveals a personal 'K.O. list' that includes no dogs in bed and no silicone breasts.
  • RTL says 29-year-old Friedrich Dieckmann received more applications than any previous participant, though the network has not disclosed the figure.
  • Walter, 73, appears this season despite not applying himself after a call with RTL led to his participation and the exclusion of his son under the one-per-family rule.
  • The Scheunenfest delivers immediate drama with the first on-screen kisses and a double rejection for contestant Insa after both invited suitors decline her farm visit.
  • RTL’s promotion includes an AI photo experiment of network stars that prompted a cheeky on-camera quip from host Inka Bause about Dieter Bohlen’s look.
