"Marcus!" The voice echoed in a loud tone across the room. The man whose name was being shouted at was starring into the mirror for the past three minutes. It was not a ritual that he needed to perform, nor was he a victim to any sort of vanity... but looking at his reflection gave him an unusual sense of calm. The visage was meant to tell him, that everything in this world that would befall him, will be displayed upon that very face, be it gentle lines at the edges of his lips or wrinkles on his forehead. With his hands, he collected a bit of water and splashed against the face, looking into reflection once more. This is it. This was he, no masks, no lies, no false promises. It was calming to know that his life was everything that he was seeing.<br/>
<br/>
"Marcus!" another shout "Herkommen! (Come here!)" With a towel in his hands, Marcus walked out of the bathroom. His roommate was holding a letter in his hand, nodding to take it.<br/>
<br/>
"Was ist das? (What is this?)" The question was rhetorical. His friend simply shrugged. The logo, on the other hand, was hardly mistakable. A month ago he applied for this, so-called show, with the intention of at least giving it a shot. Truth be told, it was a 'spur of the moment' kind of decision. He needed the money if he wanted to start his own company, and fifty thousand pounds being offered was nothing to laugh at. This way, if they rejected him, at least he could sleep at night, knowing that he reached for the chance. Another glance at Ian, the man who was shouting at him earlier and who still stood in front of him, waiting in anticipation. Upon opening, he began reading it.<br/>
<br/>
"Und? (And?)" Ian asked the moment he saw Marcus' eyebrows rise. The latter simply chuckled.<br/>
"Sie sagten 'Ja'. (They said yes)."<br/>
<br/>

<br/>
There were a few hectic days, spent in preparation and thorough reading through every brochure that was sent via mail subsequently after the letter of acceptance was delivered. As he expected there were rules to follow, and he was glad, actually. Rules meant order and order meant comfort for him... Though he could thrive in chaotic environments, as was the case in the past when the crunch time would occur every month, he preferred the simplicity of the order and careful planning. He was nervous, there was no mistaking it, but the thought of being one step closer turned all of that unsettling anxiety into positive excitement. As he was riding the plane, he pulled out a small brochure again in which all of the rules and descriptions were listed.<br/>
<br/>
"Your drink, sir" Flight attendant approached, offering a glass with bitter lemon.<br/>
"Danke (Thank you)" He smiled back and took the glass, opening the brochure once more. There was one word that kept coming back to him. 'Couples'. Marcus understood that this was a 'reality show' of a sort and that couples are a predominant theme, but only now did that thought truly sink in. Will he choose or will the choice be made for him? What kind of people would he meet? He believed, and not without a solid reason, that the people who were accepted were nothing short than an image of perfection. Smart, beautiful, outgoing, and quite sociable. After all, this what public wants to see, what they want to idolize - everything that was perfect about Humans. So how did he got there? Perhaps he was overthinking this. He took a small sip, put earbuds into his ears, played <a class="link link--external" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DrGz3kHmCTrM&amp;hash=ab40943bc5e8877396bee34bcf5a273f" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGz3kHmCTrM" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank">the first song</a> on his playlist, and allowed himself the luxury to enjoy the sight of clouds from this perspective.<br/>

Upon arriving at the Island, Marcus kept looking around. The amount of luxury in this place was absolutely staggering "Hervorragend (Outstanding)" he muttered to himself, smile forced out of him whether he wanted it or not. It was spacious, it was rich and beyond any shadow of a doubt, it was beautiful. Now onto the next step. As it was written, he needed to do the official introduction. The room was small, with two chairs and a camera whose focus was entirely on him. He was used to working under stress, but suddenly the idea that thousands, if not millions, were looking at him, created a new type of 'nervous'. His fingers scratched the shallow stubble as he was preparing to answer, and though he spoke English fluently, the thick accent was ever-present.<br/>​</div><i>Give us your name, and tell us what you do.</i><br/>"Oh," Marcus cleared his throat, adjusting to English language "My name is Marcus Heidrich and I was a senior coding developer at the Neutor company, currently a freelancer."<br/><br/><i>Describe yourself in three words.</i><br/>"Uff..." He puffed up his cheeks "Focused. Determined. Talkative."<br/><br/><i>Describe what you're like in bed in three words.</i><br/>"Oh, Mein Gott (Oh, my God)" He laughed, briefly though genuinely "Umm... sorry, a force of habit... Three words? Umm... Gentle, slow, explorative? Can I use that word? Let's go with it.<br/><br/><i>What was your worst dating experience?</i><br/>"Worst experience?" He leaned forward, pressing palms one against another and his lips against fingers. He stood like that for long ten seconds in silence before he spoke up again "Two years ago I met a girl over the app. We chatted for a few weeks and decided to actually go on a date, first meet and everything that follows. It went well for an hour but she kept coming and going. Turns out, she was on a parallel date with another guy and she went back and forth. She broke the news to me by saying to wait a bit, my turn is next. Then she disappeared again and I was left with the bill to pay... that is for myself, for her and... the other guy. I uninstalled that app thirty seconds after I left the place."<br/><br/><i>What is the first thing you notice in someone you fancy?</i><br/>"Eyes." He said rather quickly "It's always the eyes. I don't know why, but that first look hits me hard."<br/><br/><i>How would your ex describe you in three words?</i><br/>"Workaholic, mood-killer... once called me insensitive. There is actually a word she used, we have it in German but I don't think I can say it out loud in front of the camera."<br/><br/><i>If you were an alcoholic drink, what would you be and why?</i><br/>"A drink?" He chuckled again "That's... a bit random... ummm... I want to say wine but if I had to chose something that fits me more, then I'll say dark lager. A bit of sweet, a bit of bitter, a bit of an acquired taste but good for any occasion."<br/><br/><i>What should we expect to see from you this summer in the villa?</i><br/>"That's... that's not an easy question. Uhm... I came to see what life here is like. I like to believe that people drop their masks when they are placed in extraordinary circumstances, they reveal who they are." He moved his right hand in front of his face and made a motion with it, as if he was removing an invisible mask that obscured his visage this entire conversation "You get to see me, at my best and at my worst.
