Der Bachelor is officially off the market! But not in the way TV viewers saw it in the grand finale on Wednesday evening.
Da chose David Jackson (32) the lively Angelina (28) to his sweetheart. Rival Lisa (32) was left behind. Until this decision was made, the influencer was in pure emotional chaos! A situation that apparently continued even after the last award of roses.
But from the beginning: In fact, David didn’t even have a mini-tendency for a long time. The situation almost seemed to overwhelm him. That was complaining on a high level. He despairs: “I have two women in front of me, for whom I have built up real and intense feelings.” The bachelor even feared: “I can’t do it.”
The last single date with each of the ladies should finally bring clarity. With Lisa he really wanted to step on the gas again. The lovebirds met at an indoor go-kart track and enjoyed their reunion. David joked: “I’m the Hamilton of Germany. I want to prove that today.” But of course he only had eyes for the woman from Potsdam. She outperformed him lap after lap. All plus points for the bachelor’s degree. “I appreciate her determination and ambition in her.”
They both spent the rest of the day in a dreamy chalet. In front of the fireplace, the duo reminisced about the dating show, cuddling and kissing. David spoke of feelings “going in the direction of infatuation”. Then he opened up to Lisa: “I would be happy if you stayed tonight.” How close the two became without the cameras remained a secret. The only thing that seemed clear was that the night was short. She only revealed: “We’ve definitely moved closer together.”
The Rosenkavalier invited Angelina to a bird of prey park and then warmed up with her in a cozy atmosphere. Both cooked together and kissed like world champions. A little foretaste of the possible partnership? David: “I think it’s really nice to be in the kitchen together in such a romantic context in the evening.” At this point, the candidate had long been sure of her feelings. “Shit, I fell in love. What can I say…” She also spent the night with David.
In the end, it all boiled down to a heart-stopping finale. Even after the dates, the bachelor still didn’t seem sure. He: “The way I feel about both women, I can imagine that I’ll only make the decision that evening.” When the moment came, the fans of the dating show could hardly stand it either. In a smart suit with a bow tie, David was ready to give the last rose to his queen of hearts.
He chose Angelina. Lisa, on the other hand, broke the bachelor’s heart with his rejection. After one last hug, she swept away in the limo, disappointed, but trying to keep her composure. “It was a nice time. And starting tomorrow I’ll have my normal life again. And I’m looking forward to it.” But then everything turned out differently.
The turning point at the big reunion
Hostess Frauke Ludowig (59) announced a “big surprise”. The outcome of the dating adventure is not the end, according to the moderator. In addition to David, there were also six candidates in the studio, including Lisa and Angelina. The winner obviously didn’t feel like laughing. Especially not when David said about the last rose award: “I didn’t know how I was going to decide. I could have flipped a coin. My heart was split down the middle.”
Then he admits what was going through his head just before: “No matter how I make my decision – I will definitely have to think about the other woman the next day.” As Frauke Ludowig from the bachelor and his chosen ones wants to know if both are now a couple, the first bomb burst. The influencer replies, “No, we’re not a couple.” What the problem was, “We just couldn’t carry what we both felt into reality.”
Angelina was a little more specific. What bothered her: “I felt like it continued as it was on the show. He makes the decisions. That didn’t work out between us, and I communicated that to him as well.” Then bomb number two followed. Angelina was the first to say: “It doesn’t matter anymore anyway, because he has another lady by his side now.”
The bachelor is with his runner-up. David on the show: “I never got over letting Lisa go like that.” He always had to think about her and eventually regretted his decision. After leaving Angelina, the influencer contacted her. He: “I called Lisa and told her how I felt.” Shortly thereafter, Lisa flew to him in Dubai. Emotionally, nothing had changed with the lovebirds. Now both are a couple.
They even kissed on the show while Angelina sat next to her. About the moment she heard the news from David just before the show: “We talked on the phone for two hours. He told me in the last two minutes.” Nevertheless, Angelina wished the couple well and was even believed. In fact, the bachelor and his girlfriend seem to be on the right track, seeing each other as often as possible despite the distance. David: “We are both solution-oriented, want to see each other and move forward together.”
Sounds like a happy ending…
