They wrote reality TV history: Désirée Nick and Claudia Obert. Now the two supposed arch-enemies met in Hamburg. Curtain up for two great entertainers who show off the whole “vaginal business”!
The heat seems to be really affecting some celebrities this week! Heidi Klum in particular gives her followers deep insights by the pool and shows herself in a pose that makes you think the 49-year-old confused Instagram with the erotic platform Onlyfans. But what don’t you do to keep the conversation going?
Stretching out by the pool with your legs bent: Désirée Nick, the nation’s sharpest tongue, doesn’t need that to stay in the headlines. While everyone was talking about her just now because she took part in Christopher Street Day in Berlin, the next headline follows seamlessly – and with that, welcome to a new issue of Vip Vip, Hooray!
The media reports: “Nick and Obert together in Hamburg” or “Nick and Obert reconciled”. The “Bild” newspaper even jokingly speaks of “German reunification”. What was happening there? Finally, we all remember the huge spectacle of “Celebrities under the Palm Trees”, tears and a suitcase that was thrown down the stairs. Are the two really best friends and just teasing the entire press?
It’s not quite like that! La Nick and Obert, who became known as the “party-loving Schnapsdrossel”, were invited to Hamburg these days to jointly advertise a well-known restaurant chain. For a tidy sum, one thinks one can let the disputes rest. In fact, however, the two – especially Désirée Nick – grant relentless insights into a sometimes deeply depraved industry that thrives on “beef”, riots and excesses when they meet.
At this point you have to say: Which woman over 60 manages to stay in business like Désirée Nick? Claudia Obert, who was often seen as one of Nick’s arch-enemies, says in a double interview with “Bild” that she doesn’t like “boring people”. And while a constantly outraged grass dachshund like Matthias Mangiapane can only unwind a single embarrassing program, the Grande Dames show a new one of their many facets every week. That’s what characterizes personality, which is unfortunately far too little represented in reality TV. Whether the viewer finds this personality sympathetic is another matter.
La Nick hits the nail on the head when she says, “The world needs antipodes. We’re completely different, that’s why we’re explosive.” And Claudia Obert adds: “Anyone who can’t stand noise has no place on reality TV.” Because: Konfro is not just Konfro! There’s the cheap riot of a Mangiapane, which sometimes even degenerates into bullying, and there’s that flammable material that feels like a well-constructed play – from the first act through the climax to the final act, in which – of course! – comes to catastrophe. In fact, the theater has been Désirée’s home for many decades!
Also a catastrophe, but of a different kind, is the direction in which reality TV, once loved by many viewers, has developed. Understandable, because the real celebrities go out! And at the same time there is a certain tragedy in the whole thing, because TV makers no longer bother to look out for new faces and good guys, those who don’t trudge through the prairie with the IQ of a Schnitzel and have real entertainment qualities .
Because when viewers get a stomach ache from what’s happening on TV, it’s not entertaining, but fatal for reality TV in the long term. Who, if you please, would already be annoyed in front of the telly green and blue?
And so La Nick has to be right when she describes the reality TV genre as a “vaginal business”. People go to islands and have themselves filmed having sex, participants are selected based on the size of their breasts. That can go well for a while, but of course only if the last bit of claim is not completely buried by intellectual low-flyers.
While for Nick the bitch terror with Obert was just a side note of a forty-year career, for the new reality TV generation the artificially pushed Konfro is only the last rung of a career ladder with a maximum of three levels to be climbed.
And so the two ladies manage to keep in touch with what feels like ease. On the one hand, when they tease each other in a wonderfully entertaining way and prove their quick wits (“Claudia only needs three ingredients for cooking: pepper, salt and a stomach pump”), on the other hand, when Ms. Obert simply grabs a young man. The 60-year-old is currently reeling with her 24-year-old Max in love heaven. Should the two sail into the cozy harbor of marriage, there can only be one who leads Ms. Obert to the altar! Anything else would just be a tepid ceremony! Until next week!
