Title: Redefining Love: RTL's Double Trouble with "The Bachelors"
Get ready for a love triangle like no other! In an unprecedented move, RTL is shaking up the dating game by introducing not one but two "Bachelors" for its 14th season. This daring new twist will see these two gentlemen, lovingly named "Rose Cavaliers," go head-to-head in a quest to win over the hearts of several eligible ladies. The popular reality show will even undergo a name change, transitioning from "The Bachelor" to "The Bachelors."
While the number of female participants remains the same, increasing competition is on the horizon. The participating women will find themselves in an unusual situation, vying for the affection of both bachelors during the dating process. The broadcaster has yet to reveal the identities of the lucky lads, but they will officially unveil their names on December 6.
Breaking traditions yet again, the upcoming season will commence in Germany rather than an exotic location. The contestants will soon embark on their romantic adventures on home soil before setting off for South Africa to continue their quest for love. This is a significant deviation from the usual format, reflecting a shift towards more local productions.
Filming in Germany had occurred only once before, during the eleventh season, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the 14th season marks a return to the country as the main production site for the first time since the fourth season in 2014. South Africa, a traditional filming location, will still play a part in the love story, but the contestants will first become acquainted in their home country.
The new season is expected to premiere on RTL and RTL+ in the spring of 2024, though an exact date has not been confirmed yet. The last season, starring David Jackson, started in March 2023, with Jackson ultimately choosing Angelina Utzeri in the finale. However, a shocking confession by Jackson during the big reunion revealed that he was in a relationship with runner-up Lisa Mieschke.
