When it comes to the question of whether you can actually find love on television, opinions differ: While some say that it’s all just a show anyway, others believe that true love can be found everywhere – even in the telly.
In any case, the year 2022 did not disappoint in terms of dome show drama, delivered both heartbreak and great love and of course a good portion of sex could not be missing in the reality cosmos.
BILD summarizes this year’s German dating shows: Who found a partner for life and who just found a quick chat.
Sharon Battiste and Jan Hoffman
This year’s bachelorette Sharon (30) let the viewers cheer for the search for great love like no other rose distributor before. The problem? At the end of her Bachelorette journey, the actress decided against viewer favorite Lukas Baltruschat (28) and chose his competitor Jan Hoffmann (31).
This not only led to a lot of fan displeasure, but also to the fact that hardly anyone believed the newly in love that their relationship would last.
Sharon and Jan proved after the show: dome shows can work AND the bachelorette knew better than the viewers.
In the meantime, the two have been together for more than half a year and have even been on their first love vacation together. The two are deeply in love on social media and should give future dome show candidates a lot of hope.
Calvin Kleinen
Reality icon Calvin Kleinen (30) has tried his luck on various TV shows and is known for not letting anything burn. In this year’s season of “Are You The One – Realitystars in Love” everything should be different: Calvin finally wanted to find love and a stable partnership.
After kissing some women on the show, he finally tried to settle down with the blonde Franzi (27). But the former bachelor candidate just couldn’t tame Playboy, Calvin just couldn’t overcome his phobia of commitment.
The big surprise, however, came with the reunion episode: Calvin’s brother Marvin, of all people, comforted Franzi over the heartache!
Unfortunately, however, only with moderate success, something solid did not come of it either. Franzi explained: “Like his brother, he has to push his horns off first”.
Anna Rossow with Dominik Stuckmann
The success rate for a real partnership seems to be particularly high in the bachelor formats, because: this year’s bachelor’s too Dominik Stuckman (30) found love on TV this year.
His chosen one? The hamburger Anna Rossow (33) turned the Rosenkalavier’s head so much that the two are still in love almost a year after the show. On Instagram they share their everyday life and their happiness in love with their followers.
This step in particular shows how serious things are for the two of them: Anna left her home in Hamburg in the summer and moved to her sweetheart in Frankfurt.
Anna Iffländer and Michael Schuler
In the world of dome shows, these two prove that life is not just black and white: Anna Iffländer (27) turned Macho Michael (24) upside down right from the start on “Are You The One – Reality Stars in Love”. The problem: Other candidates did the same, the footballer couldn’t really commit himself.
However, when Anna also started flirting with the other men from the villa, the macho freaked out, even calling her a “wandering whore”. An absolute no-go!
After a proper reprimand from Anna and the other contestants on the show, Micha finally apologized and fought for his chosen one. Other women? From then on it was no longer an issue for him, he really wanted to change for his Anna.
In the end, the two left the show together and are still happy together today. And hopefully Michael learned from his mistakes…
Gigi Birofio and Michelle Daniaux
In 2022, they found neither great love nor quick sex on the reality show “Temptation Island VIP”: Gigi (23) and Michelle (23) found the big heartache above all!
Actually, they wanted to prove to themselves that their love deserves another chance by participating in the format in which celebrity seducers’ relationships are tested.
The fiery Italian Gigi in particular should finally prove to his partner that he can remain faithful, because in the past there has been a lot of rows between the two, mainly because of their love affair.
But the fidelity test failed: while Gigi got in touch with the seductress Tülay in the men’s villa, Michelle blasphemed uninhibitedly about her boyfriend.
For the remaining candidates of the TV show it was finally clear: this relationship is toxic, in the end the two went out of the format separately. And even if things went pretty bumpy for Gigi in terms of love in 2022, he is at least getting off to a good start professionally: He is moving into the “jungle camp” in 2023 and is really picking up speed in terms of reality TV career.
