The 16th season of RTL's dating show 'The Bachelors' concluded with a reunion that revealed a surprising twist: only one of the two 'Bachelors' remained with his chosen partner. Both Tim Reitz and Sebastian Paul had initially selected their final roses and declared their love.

We are seeing each other for the first time in Germany right now.

Tim chose Vivi from Weingarten, expressing that he had fallen in love with her. Sebastian, who had made history by focusing on only one contestant, Nadja, from episode 8, spoke of a potential soulmate connection. Both men asked their chosen women about a future relationship, and both received a "yes."

I'm sure I'll get a shitstorm - I don't care in this case.

However, at the reunion, filmed months after the show's conclusion, Sebastian revealed he and Nadja were seeing each other for the first time in Germany since the show. Nadja explained that Sebastian's pace became too much for her after the final rose ceremony, and she realized he was the "wrong man." She initiated the breakup and is now happily in a new relationship. Sebastian described the situation as a "slap in the face," feeling vulnerable during his journey.

It was a slap in the face.
