TV review Where the kisses of ‘Golden Bachelor’ Gerard seemed very dry, you can see a lot of tongue in ‘I Kissed A Girl’
They sat opposite each other in an American dinner, but one in Italy. An Italian dinner trying to be an American. That worked very nice: black-with-white tiled floor, benches with shiny red upholstery. In the middle of the store there was a car with a large hamburger on his roof. « Come, » said Yvonne (60). « We’re going to dance. » « Must, » said Gerard (73). He stirred in his vanillemilkshake. Yvonne wanted to order one for them together, but Gerard had bad experiences with sharing. So there were two. Now he was pulled off the bench to dance to music in the bluish glow of the fluorescent light Grease. Occasionally the camera caught another guest, but that didn’t seem like much. The Italian American dinner largely looked deserted.
It could also have been a scene from a horror film, I thought, but for love seekers Yvonne and Gerard it was a dream date. Short in advance, Gerard had been on a dream date with another lady: Karin (62). With her he had taken off in a balloon, he even put his arm around her. Gerard seemed like a satisfied man. He had started the seventeen women with we had started this adventure (participating in a dating program is always called an ‘adventure’) back to two blondes, as those things often go. Now he only had to choose between, in his words, Kaatje and Yvonnetje. In The Golden Bachelor (Videoland) Only one person can run away with that coveted Golden Rose. Gerard put that a bit nicer: « I only have one golden rose, but I also have only one heart. »
Thursday it was time for the final and still I didn’t understand how Gerard had gotten those seventeen women so wild. It took me a lot of trouble not to get rid of that he introduced the ‘tjes behind Namur (since I was called « Ambertje » by a geography teacher this has released a lot of aggression in me), and then it didn’t get better. Even about Long Time Favorite Yvonne he kept saying things like: « She is a rough bolster with a very white pit. » In the dinner he had seen « that she can move to the rhythm and I like that too ». Only in the sauna did the temperature go up for a while. « I never sweat in the sauna, » said Yvonne. To which Gerard replied: « Shall I let you sweat? » They both had to laugh heartily about that.
Now that Gerard has presented his rose and heart to Yvonnetje, only the reunion episode, which will be put on Videoland next Thursday. But viewers who continue to keep in need of a fresh dose dose dating onion, don’t have to fall into a black hole: they can count on a new episode every week (also on Videoland) I KISSED A GIRL. In this, the lack of sexual tension becomes that The Golden Bachelor Chared amply compensated.
Compensated, you could also say. The first thing that the participating women should do when they meet in a villa in South Africa is kissing. First kiss, then talk. Then they form couples who have to decide with every waste round whether they want to continue together or not. If they want that, they make it known again with a kiss. And where Gerard’s kisses seemed very dry, you can see I KISSED A GIRL A lot of tongue. The makers are also not economical with close-ups of buttocks in bikini pants.
Fortunately, the participants seem to be having a good time in the villa. « Mine Love Language is Physical Touch ”one above average beautiful woman said to the other. He nodded – they completely agreed. I was reminded of Karin; How he had intended in the final « to approach Gerard a little more physically ». She had received three kisses from him, Mwah-Mwah-Mwah, and I suggested that she had hoped for more. Perhaps that applies to more of Gerards Ladies. I KISSED A GOLDEN GIRL – Is that still an idea?
