In the U.S., The Bachelor is a popular reality TV program whose main personality is a successful, good-looking, 30-something guy who spends a lot of time at the gym and tanning, and whose business can apparently withstand him leaving for a few months while he jets around the globe with about twenty beautiful (though often crazy!) 20-something women all vying for his attention.
I just finished watching what seems like the German version: Bauer sucht Frau (Farmer Seeks Wife). Take Brad, the last American bachelor, and put him way out in the country (so he is too far away and too busy to get to the gym), add 50+ pounds and about 10 years, and you've got your Bauer! The women who are interested in him do not have to be models, but they do have to be able to write him LETTERS telling him about themselves. I think the German version brings a little more reality into its reality show.
HAHA sounds like a trip --- the German shows are always such high quality ;)
ReplyDeleteI've finally figured out how to watch Bachelor Pad on my iPad and I've got to say, I'm in heaven.
Haha, isn't that the best show! It was never on enough when I was at the gym. Too funny. Oh Germany, you never fail to weird me out ;)
ReplyDeleteThat is a reality I don't think I want on my tv. LOL
ReplyDelete@Alex--I'm going to have to get some tips from you once the fall season rolls around!
ReplyDelete@TGN--you watched it at the gym? I don't think I could get any motivation from that show!
@Kelli--LOL! So true!!!
