Overview

• Die Bachelors has reached its midseason point in South Africa, where Felix Stein sent Aylin home in episode four and navigates newly shifted alliances while Martin Braun secured a second kiss on a beachfront date.
• On Bauer sucht Frau International, Carmen used a Balinese cleansing ceremony to choose Patrick over Sven, Björn’s kiss with Lea in Namibia stunned rival Sarah, and winemaker Roger concluded his Tenerife Hofwoche alone after all suitors departed.
• Kampf der Realitystars advanced to its penultimate round with peer nominations and a reunited jury prompting the surprise double exit of Bela Klentze and Jens Hilbert and clearing the path to the finale.
• RTL is experimenting with format innovations—dual bachelor leads, contestant trades, ritual-based decisions and peer-driven eliminations—to refresh established franchises and counter declining linear ratings.
• Each series leverages exotic locations and high-tension eliminations to sustain viewer engagement across both free-to-air broadcasts and early streaming exclusives on RTL+.
