Will the shallow entertainment show soon become a scandal show?
First constant bullying of “Bauer sucht Frau” alumni Patrick and his Antonia in the “summer house” – now THAT: A candidate has now been cut out of the show because – hard to believe – Nazi tattoos covered his body!
The format has been trying for years to differentiate itself from trash TV, to land with the viewers with heart and flowers.
And that’s what they tried this season too – for example with horse farmer Loretta. She invited four men to the barn festival – an integral part of the show: Sascha (37), Michael (36), Eric (31) and the 41-year-old fitness trainer Sven.
But now only three men can be seen on television in the new episode. “RTL” explains it like this: “Candidate Sven wears tattoos that can be assigned to the right-wing scene. Since RTL strictly distances itself from any right-wing extremist ideas, he was cut from the ‘Bauer sucht Frau’ show, which had already been filmed.
But how did it come about that a neo-Nazi ended up in “Bauer sucht Frau”? The broadcaster explains: “The tattoos in question were not noticed during the preparations for the show because of the abundance of his tattoos all over his body.”

Next: “The candidate was suggested to Loretta as a possible applicant. She didn’t know the meaning of the tattoos either.”
Also: “When they were discovered, RTL reacted immediately.” Sven’s hands and forearms can be seen on the announcement photos published so far. The motifs on his skin, including runes, give an idea of the attitude of the fitness trainer.
In the episode, which can already be seen on RTL + (it comes on free TV on Monday at 8:15 p.m.), you can see that numerous settings have been concealed.
