Overview
- RTL announced the Season 6 lineup on Thursday in an Instagram reel, confirming Sophia Thomalla as host, a Koh Samui shoot in Thailand, and a summer release on RTL+ without a set premiere date.
- Actor Raúl Richter joins the cast after a recent breakup and said in an RTL statement that meeting people offline is hard and that dating apps often flagged his profile as fake.
- Instagram comments show confusion about Richter’s fit and age gap concerns, while the harshest pushback targets Johannes from Make Love, Fake Love, with some users calling for a boycott over what they described as aggressive behavior on that show.
- The format again uses an algorithm to preselect ten Perfect Matches, with contestants decoding pairs during Matching Nights and checks in the Matching Box to unlock a group prize of €200,000.
- Coverage split by outlet, with BILD playing up the starry cast and show mechanics, TAG24 highlighting Richter’s surprise entry, and Promiflash and Focus Online amplifying negative viewer reactions and boycott talk.
