Sebastian (33) made his decision early in the second season of "Die Bachelors" (RTL+), settling on Nadja (28). And she on him. The suspense was gone. But for such cases, RTL relies on two bachelors. And in the last episode, Tim (35) still has a choice to make. Three women stand before him, but there are only two roses in the vase beside him.
The first rose goes to Vivien (28), the second to Miri (28). A visibly shocked Kim (32) goes home empty-handed. Even though there's "nothing wrong with her", as Tim reveals. "The rational Tim would have decided differently", says the irrational Tim.
"Wrong" Feeling: Tim Kisses Finalists
So the choice is between Vivien and Miri, who may look similar but are extremely different in character. Vivien seems more serious, Miri rather flighty. Nothing about her is "linear", Tim finds.
As part of his decision-making process, Tim kisses both women. Even though it feels "wrong" to him. Kissing two women in quick succession only happens to the Cologne native during carnival at most. Not even then, he admits laughingly shortly after.
"In Another Life": Tim Rejects Miri
Tears come to Tim's eyes as he composes his final speeches on his laptop. The addresses then also seem somewhat memorized. First, Tim praises his contestants to the skies. But then his monologue for Miri takes a turn.
The Austrian is too "unpredictable" for Tim. In another life, he would like to risk a relationship with her. But now his "heart has decided on Vivian". She gladly accepts his last rose. Miri has to deal with the "heartbreak", her "rejection number 205".
Sebastian Drops the Bombshell with Frauke Ludowig
The first part of the last episode of "Die Bachelors" 2026 belonged exclusively to Tim. But at the reunion with Frauke Ludowig (62), Sebastian is the center of attention.
He drops a bombshell in the studio. He and Nadja are no longer a couple. They're seeing each other for the first time since returning to Germany.
Shortly after the rose ceremony in Namibia, the supposed dream couple split. Sebastian tried "too frantically" to build a close relationship, says Nadja. For instance, he didn't want to accept that she wanted to sleep instead of cuddling for another half hour. That was "too much" for her.
"Slap in the Face" for Sebastian
Back in Germany, Sebastian wanted to visit Nadja in Stuttgart immediately. But she wanted to have time for family and friends first. Nadja found his behavior too "obsessed". For Sebastian, her withdrawal was a "slap in the face". And that, even though he had made an advent calendar for her.
Sebastian and Nadja argue on the couch in a way rarely seen in the "Bachelor" franchise. Nadja, who breaks into tears in the studio, reveals that she's now in a relationship.
Tim and Vivian, however, have good news. They can report relationship consummation to Frauke Ludowig. Infatuation has turned into love, says Tim.
Earlier in the season, Tim's lifestyle had caused irritation among many contestants. As a professionally successful man in his mid-thirties, he still lives in a shared apartment. The no-longer-bachelor now wants to leave this life behind. He announces that he'll move out of the shared apartment for Vivian. His beloved, in turn, wants to move to Cologne for him.
