Among the total audience aged 3 and over, “The Big Terra X-Show” (ZDF) achieved a primetime market share of 14.9 percent (3.07 million viewers) and thus the win. “The End of Patience” (Das Erste) came in behind with 2.9 million (14.1 percent).

“The Bachelorette”: Why is Sharon Battiste participating?
RTL seems to have made a decent start to the season. Three men had to pack their bags again in the first episode of “Bachelorette”. In an interview with spot on news, Sharon Battiste revealed in advance why she wanted to be on the dating show: “I’m 30 and I want to be in love again. For my future I also want my own little family at some point. That’s why I have this great one journey perceived.” She finds it “extremely exciting to meet 20 men who are all very different. Do they make an effort? How do they try to be remembered? How do they fight for me? In the past I have often experienced that I had to convince men of myself . That’s different on this trip – and nice to see.”
