"Bauer Sucht Frau" is one of the most popular RTL formats – but the international offshoot cannot do much against the competition. "Bauer Sucht Frau INTERNATIONAL" SUFFERED A BITTER DEFEAT AGAINST THE ARD CRIME SERIES.
The broadcast actually secured RTL top ratings at prime time. The problem was simply even stronger. The ratings at the start on April 16, 2024 were not bad at all. An average of "only" 2.82 million people watched the dome show on RTL, which corresponds to a market share of 11.8 percent. Some public evening programs also secured better ratings. For example, "Rosenheim Cops" received 16.3 percent for ZDF (3.72 million viewers). "Murder with a View's" market share was 22.7 percent - twice as high as the "B Bauer suchtFrau International" values.
