When the cameras go off in the evening, things go completely wrong in Switzerland. Benjamin explains to housemate Anna what happened. “He went crazy yesterday.” Joshua does not intend to stay in the guest house at the bottom of the mountain and wants to be in the house with Benjamin. “He was screaming on the phone. He wouldn’t accept it.”
What is the story according to Joshua? “I expected that I would go upstairs for a while. A nice evening with a glass of wine, chatting about what the day brought. Benjamin didn’t feel the need for that at the moment.” Joshua knows where his frustration comes from. “When you are in love, many things happen inside you body. (…) I would have wanted it differently. I would have enjoyed going upstairs, but that is also love: sometimes letting each other out for a while.”
But for Benjamin, puppy love collapses like an avalanche from the Swiss Alps. “He considered himself more important than me. And that is where I draw the line,” he continues to tell Anna. “He can sometimes be very arrogant. He is not exactly modest. I don’t think that is a good characteristic.” Anna is hard on Joshua and believes that he should arrange a plane again, but this time to leave for the Netherlands on his own. “It made me feel like he thought you were his,” she explains.
And so it’s time for Benjamin to confront Joshua with his decision. At least, that’s what he wants, but Joshua beats him to it. “I have made a decision. It is not up to you. (…) I will go home,” says the love candidate. But where Joshua wants to say goodbye for a short time, Benjamin wants to get rid of Joshua permanently. And he has his reasons for that. “You cannot adapt to someone else and you want it the way you want it. You are very dominant in that. I prefer not to use the word, but a bit manipulative. I also think that is a big middle finger to me.”
Benjamin has made his decision and it is hard. “You are not going to bring out the best in me. I see no future then,” he says. “We are not made for each other. We are going to leave it at that.” Joshua accepts the decision, but finds it difficult to hide his emotions after the conversation. “I have gotten to know myself a lot. I have gotten to know Benjamin. Yet I believe that we will see each other again in a few months. I have closed him in my heart and if someone is in my heart “He won’t come out anymore,” he says with wet eyes.
Benjamin is relieved now that Joshua has left. He discusses the bad news with his mother Ilse. “I hope he has a beautiful life. And that he will find someone who wants to give 100 percent love,” Benjamin tells his mother. But Ilse also spoke to Joshua. “I’ll tell you what he said: ‘There are 100 men waiting for me in Amsterdam when I get back.’ Then I think: Excuse me? What are you doing here? Find one of those 100 men there. Why are you coming here? Then you must have a very high opinion of yourself when you say that.”
Benjamin no longer welcomes 100 men, but will the real one still arrive? You will only see it this week Winter Full of Love. Can be seen daily until Thursday at 8:30 PM on RTL 4 and on Videoland you can watch the dating program in advance.
