A Decade and a Half of "Everything Counts," or "What's Truly Important," The Shenanigans and Stats Behind the Event
Gear up for the 18th anniversary bash of the beloved RTL series "All That Matters" taking place from August 30th to September 6th, five days earlier via RTL+ streaming. With a whopping 4,500 episodes under its belt, this series boasts a vibrant array of actors and a bucketload of behind-the-scenes drama.
42 Gallons of Bogus Blood and 70 Lbs of Powder Powder Powder
The makeup department has been kept busy with the series’ 18-year run, getting through a remarkable amount of makeup essentials: 372,800 cotton swabs, 85,500 hair clips, 73,800 hair ties, and 12,090 lipsticks, to name a few. They've also used 7,000 eyeshadows, 70 pounds of face powder, 64,600 packs of tissues, and 42 gallons of fake blood. Yes, you read that right – the team went through 42 friggin' gallons of synthetic blood! That's a lot of fake carnage, folks.
Veggie and Not-So-Veggie Actors
Speaking of blood, have you ever wondered about the actors' culinary preferences? Apparently, no one in the cast is vegan, but five actors are vegetarian. Quite an interesting balance, don't you think?
Other Fascinating Facts
- The heaviest prop used was Casper's body bag (what a massive spectacle), while the lightest prop was a single feather (quite the contrast, huh?).
- The smallest items were the diamonds that Maximilian once smuggled on set (talk about a tiny smuggling operation).
- Susanne Schlenzig was the first actor to speak on the show back in 2006, uttering the iconic words, "Diana!" to her on-screen daughter.
- Since then, Igor Dolgatschew has racked up an impressive 2,260 shooting days, a record that deserves some dang applause.
- A total of 59,256 scenes have been filmed in 18 years, with 22,680 of them being shot on location in Cologne. There were approximately 50 outdoor shoots per year, resulting in a grand total of 900 spectacular locations, with the farthest location being Neustadt in Holstein.
Behind-the-Scenes Shenanigans
Marriages have crumbled, and new ones have blossomed, all amidst the series' typical drama and love entanglements. But let's talk about what really gets people talking: parties! There have been a reported 216 poolside parties over the course of this series, but here's the juicy part – 21 of those parties weren't exactly family-friendly. You know, the kind of shenanigans that would make even the wildest party animal blush. So fantastic, right?
Special Guest Appearances
During the anniversary week, fans will get to see some familiar faces make a comeback! "First Dates" bartender Nic Shanker will be hosting a reality show where Henning competes for a €10,000 prize. Nathalie Reichenbach, who left Essen, will also make her return following Yannick's plea for help.
You can enjoy the "All That Matters" anniversary celebrations seven days earlier with RTL+ using their RTL broadcasting system. The higher production value of the series is evident, especially when considering the substantial makeup supplies required for its creation. Over the series' 18 years, they've used 42 gallons of synthetic blood and 70 pounds of face powder.
