Mimi and Niko are sitting in the cinema.

The Bachelor finalist and the Bachelor will be shown a film that recounts their “journey” together.

Niko wipes a tear from his eye, Mimi giggles, the two kiss.

At this moment she likes, likes him, the audience may think: "Yes, come on, how else is he supposed to decide than for Mimi?" After the film there is dinner and an overnight stay in some German four-star hotel. Corona Dream Date version, but that's the smallest problem around this finale.

What Mimi doesn’t know: She’s not in competition with the harmless and chances-free Stephie in this final.

Niko, who struggled with the concept of the show from the start and somehow couldn't get on with the role of the bachelor, has committed a mortal sin - by reality TV producer standards: he contacted

Michèle, the candidate

off camera

(and until then second favorite), which he had thrown out in the previous show.

Actually.

Until he was gripped by doubts and remorse and longing.

And when, after her intense dream date, Mimi says with tears in her eyes: "There's another one, I can't be sure", and thinks of wall tattoo cat mom Stephie, you want to tell her: It's much worse , much more insecure than you think.

Because Michèle, she has not let go of Niko, his rational decision for Stephie was of course nonsense and his eternally stoked desire for Michèle, it still has to be satisfied.

And so he is actually not too stupid to sort everything out somehow and produce the finale as the inclined audience expected since episode two: Between Mimi, the slightly bitchy, very in love 26-year-old, the one for Niko, he always emphasizes again, "security" means where he feels "at home".

And Michèle, who attracts him because he had to crack her, because she is very pretty, because he couldn't see through her and has now "opened" at the secret meeting.

After this move, RTL of course does not allow the Bachelor to continue to regulate everything privately and via Insta message, and as a punishment sends him to the business hotel where Stephie is actually waiting for her final dream date.

Because yes, there are still those too.

Now he has to go through and tell her that she is not in the final.

Now say it and please go again if you want to call out to Niko

This visit is very unworthy and Stephie would have gladly been spared it - especially since she herself says: "I always knew that you would not choose me." Yes, the audience too, only Niko caused chaos and drama and injured Stephie unnecessary.

He then brings Michèle back, ensnares and adores her and from now on at the latest you ask yourself: What is his plan, please?

Last week we wrote at this point that he can hardly reactivate Michèle, maybe to sleep with her once and then decide against her again and still in favor of Mimi.

"Must" he now take Michèle through this action?

Otherwise he could have simply saved her a second humiliation, went to the cinema with Stephie and then decided in favor of Mimi.

Yes, Stephie would have been a "victim" as well, but at least he would only have injured one and not two women.

Or is Niko actually so planned and egotistical that he really wants to try Michèle again before he finally drives "home" with Mimi?

Or is everything much worse?

Mimi was there right from the start - will she be rewarded or punished for it?

All these questions keep you busy while you watch him quarrel and procrastinate.

Which, by the way, is revealing.

With Mimi he developed a “bond”, after Michèle a “longing”, explains Niko.

Bonding, something that is there, already established, secure and also rare and valuable - versus longing.

Longing is looking for something that is not (yet) there.

What maybe doesn't exist?

But that seems promising.

And as clear as it seems that connectedness is something very valuable, Nikos talk of longing must be just as much warning (for Mimi).

Because that's always what drove him when it came to Michèle - the search for something he hasn't found yet.

Does it irritate him to look for it?

Michèle meanwhile wants to finally prove to Niko that she has always shown her interest - her proof: "I wrote to you on Instagram first," she reports, "I answered something about your dog."

Is everything clear for Niko after this mad confession at the latest?

He now wants to decide with his heart, he says, not with his head - but at the same time the fact is that, if he had not started this return campaign, he would be less influenced by the format and possible feelings of guilt (“I can't throw you out a second time”) ) could decide.

Rejection, the second

It's good that such feelings are apparently alien to the Bachelor anyway - after a few nifty editing tricks from RTL it is clear: Niko has decided in favor of Mimi.

And you have to give him a really nice declaration of love, which gets by without the standard phrase “I fell in love with you”, but conveys exactly that in much more personal words: “Mimi.

You are my home, my dream woman, my Mimi.

You are my favorite thought. "

Michèle, on the other hand, is now offended, that she is happy to admit.

She doesn't want an explanation, for which reason, the message seems clear: He has finally "opened" her completely, with that the goal was achieved and the affection for Mimi increased.

“I should have listened to my gut instinct from the start,” she says, and still not open up.

And so this text could have ended at this point, with a happy ending for Mimi, with a lesson for Michèle (you don't take a man back who didn't want you at some point).

But this season nothing is as expected and so shortly after the finale a message emerges that tells this story even further.

BILD is now reporting that Niko “changed his mind” “right after the final”: “He gave winner Mimi a basket and won Michèle's heart back.” According to BILD information, she should actually be with him .

Wow.

With that, Niko injured not two, but three women - and in Mimi's case it was pretty devastating.

Whereby: Does this mean that Michèle's injury is undone?

But: How can she take back a man who rejected her twice?

What, in turn, is Nikos problem with decisions, with security - and longing?

One could now indulge in analysis attempts, with kitchen table psychology a la "He always wants what he / she cannot have / cannot have", but:

After all these moves, he doesn't deserve another woman to try to understand him.
