The line between show and life
In the very first episode, one of the girls gave me hope that there could be feelings. Then I ran out into the street, producers and cameramen ran out after me, they saw my emotions in the frame: “Yes! Yes! Perhaps something will happen here! Then after a few dates and conversations, I felt free.
“Here you need to understand that one of the main fears of my life is getting into a relationship with a girl. But then I finally thought: “Ilya, we have to try! We need to get into a relationship. Otherwise you’ll spend your whole life alone.”
There were moments when the girls took me to talk off-camera, but then the editor overtook us: “Into the frame, everything into the frame, into the frame!” I think this is correct. Because some girls tried to appear, not to be. And the camera is like an X-ray - it shines through. Everything secret will eventually become clear. Not being yourself in front of the camera is very dangerous.
“It was also important for me to rid the girls who were in love with me of illusions. It was important to show not only my good sides, but also my bad ones. I deliberately stuck them out. He was worse, he hurt them.”
Because if the girl inside the show is ready to accept these exaggerated traits, then in real life she will be the happiest with me. The main thing was to remove the veil from my eyes. Sometimes it was quite harsh - they cried and left. But this pain helped both them and me. Pain helped to turn off the heart, turn on the mind and stop living in illusions. It's like a slap in the face - you instantly sober up. After such incidents, I saw which girls have real feelings for me, which girls I can make happy. What can you do - sometimes love has to be earned.

This Saturday, viewers of the TNT channel will see the long-awaited finale of the “Bachelor” show, in which Ekaterina Nikulina and Madina Tamova will fight for the heart of the “Interns” star Ilya Glinnikov. Before the main character of the project said goodbye to Lesya Ryabtseva and Snezhana Samokhina, he introduced the girls to his family.
Feelings, revelations and rivalry of the participants before the finale of “The Bachelor”
The final episode of one of the most romantic programs on modern television will also take place in Georgia - on the territory of Glinnikov’s small homeland. This time, the participants of the show and Ilya himself will find themselves in the Rabat fortress, located on the territory of the historical region of Meskheti. During a conversation with reporters, the actor said that he had real feelings for one of the girls. The artist prefers to hide her name so as not to spoil the audience’s impressions of watching the final episode.
“She captivated me with her depth. She's an alien, she's from the moon, she's a galaxy. You know, grains of sand can lie nearby, but galaxies are at such a huge distance from each other that the human brain cannot understand, because when they touch, a nuclear explosion occurs. And we met halfway, walked through thorns, and then it happened. Like the Tunguska meteorite - it just hit me. It was as if they put a basin on top of us and hit it with Thor’s hammer, and everything around us began to ring,” said Ilya.
The actor considers his soulmate a “woman with a capital W” and admires her spiritual qualities. The young man describes his lover as someone who is inclined to “give rather than consume.” In addition, Glinnikov considers her to be very sincere and noble in nature. Ilya admits that the one who conquered him prefers not to talk, but to act.
According to Ilya, he and his chosen one are still at the very beginning of their journey, and they have a lot to learn. The actor does not hide the fact that he had to go through a lot before casting his vote in favor of one finalist. Speaking about the stages of development of his relationship with his chosen one, Glinnikov does not hide the fact that they had difficulties, including distrust of each other. However, young people managed to cope with this problem.
Answering questions from journalists, Ilya Glinnikov also admitted that it was not easy for him to make the final decision. “I had my doubts. I spent the whole night in the temple, prayed and made a choice with my heart,” the actor said in an interview with Telenedelya.
The most difficult choice
I acted carefully, with shutter speed down to the millimeter, and still went crazy twice during the project. The second time - in the finals.
“I’m a pretty sensitive person, so it was much more difficult to experience this. I guess this can be compared to cutting my veins, because I had real feelings for both girls who were finalists.”
Once, when I was sitting in a monastery, I saw two planes flying across the sky, leaving behind two stripes. One was smooth, the other was slightly distorted. When making a decision in the finale of the show, this is exactly how I imagined my relationship with each of the girls, and tried to understand which of the lines goes perfectly exactly with mine. If the line is slightly curved, then in the future the curvature will only intensify, sooner or later it will intersect with mine and eventually a break will occur. The mind is always a fool of the heart, but I tried to think rationally. The passions in the finale were serious, our girls were very hot (laughs).
“But now I can talk about it with a smile, but after finishing the project I woke up in a cold sweat every three hours for a week. I dreamed that girls I didn't choose were shooting at me because I made a bad decision. I woke up and thought: “Thank God!”
Now I have recovered, but I wouldn’t wish such an experience on my enemy. However, I am grateful to the show - it was my path, I had to go through it. God leads me along difficult paths. I can say that I lived the phrase “The ways of the Lord are mysterious.” And I have no one to be angry with, going on the show was my choice, I understood the consequences. And still I felt responsible for every girl I talked to. It happens that men can’t always cope with one woman, but there were 25 of them!
Why did “bachelor” Ilya Glinnikov choose Ekaterina Nikulina

Ekaterina Nikulina’s path on the project cannot be called simple, since the girl could not find a common language with the participants, and she repeatedly quarreled with the “bachelor”. However, fans of the show relied on the bright blonde from the first episodes. The fact is that the future winner was immediately able to impress the actor with her extravagant appearance. For the first meeting, she chose a blue dress covered in sequins and opted for bright makeup.
“The evening is no longer languid,” said Ilya, seeing Katya for the first time.
“I liked Ilya right away,” said the glamorous participant.
But the girl had to wait a long time for the treasured rose. In the first issue she was named third from last. However, already on their first date in private, Ekaterina showed her bright charisma. Glinnikov has repeatedly admitted that he burns with real passion for the blonde.
“When we came ashore, I couldn’t leave her side. I was literally magnetized,” the actor admitted in the fifth episode of the show.
But the other participants were hostile to Nikulina, apparently feeling that she was a serious rival. The girls emphasized that Catherine always looks arrogant, behaves distantly and coldly.
Closer to the middle of the season, there was no doubt left: the extravagant blonde would reach the finals. Ilya could not resist her, repeatedly calling the girl a witch. According to the actor, the future winner literally bewitched him, and he could not resist it. After the scandalous departure of Daria Klyukina, the girl literally had no rivals left.
“This rose has been yours for a long time, it’s just that now the rules of our show do not allow us to present them directly on dates,” the actor said frankly at one of the last “ceremony.”

The participant also made a strong impression on her chosen one’s best friend, Alexander Ilyin. “Katyukha is a real witch,” said the performer of the role of Lobanov in the acclaimed TV series “Interns.”
The girl managed to conquer Ilya with her education, mystery and ability to show her passion in any situation. Together they water skied, danced and went horseback riding. While meeting the relatives of the “bachelor,” Catherine once again showed her character. She openly stated that she would not trade the actor for anyone, being offended that he doubted her sincerity. As a result, Glinnikov’s relatives were fascinated by Nikulina, but did not draw sudden conclusions about her.
“Only time will tell whether Katya can be trusted,” said Ilya’s grandmother.
After Lesya Ryabtseva left the show, the fatal blonde decided to go for broke. During the last date, she was left alone with Ilya in the bedroom. This gesture finally convinced Glinnikov that he could not go against his own heart.
“Katya is fire, and everything melts with me,” the “bachelor” admitted in the finale of the show.
“Do I regret what happened between us? Absolutely not,” said the winner.
Apparently the winner conquered the enviable groom with her frankness and mystery. The lovers quarreled repeatedly, and several times Katya was even on the verge of being eliminated. However, in the end, the predictions of the fans of the program were justified, and it is with Nikulina that the famous actor now plans to connect his life.

Meaning of life
I have the feeling that I have been doing something all my life just to avoid falling. But I don’t want to live like this. This makes no sense.
“After the show “The Bachelor,” after what I went through at 32 years old, I can say: the point is to deserve love.”
Go through a certain path, throw yourself into difficult circumstances, go against principles and come to the show “The Bachelor,” for example. Don't be afraid to put everything on the line! This is what happened to me: after all, I am a theater and film actor, my place is on the stage, not in the show. Many have a negative attitude towards actors who often act in film, and they are less accepted on the theater stage. I had to give up everything I had acquired, put everything on the line. Because you have to fight for love. And then you can find happiness.

Tonight, the main character of the show “The Bachelor” Ilya Glinnikov introduced Madina Tamova, Ekaterina Nikulina, Lesya Ryabtseva and Snezhana Samokhina to his family. Especially for this meeting, the girls flew to Georgia, the artist’s homeland. The evening was attended by the star’s mother Tatyana Mikhailovna, aunt, grandmother, brother, sister and little niece.
Madina Tamova was the first to go on a date with Glinnikov. In the afternoon the bachelor showed her the city. During his walk, he discovered a secret that was known only to a narrow circle of people.
“My dad was originally a neurosurgeon; he studied in Russia, and he and my mother met there. And a situation happened - one department head, from Moscow, began to pester his mother in a restaurant. Insulted my mother. He couldn’t stand it, took him out, tore off his shoulder straps. So what, my dad was locked up right away and they started imprisoning him. And for the last time he waved his handkerchief at her. And then he chose the path, and I understand him like a man, so that no one would know that he has children,” Ilya recalled. – My dream was to meet him. And at the age of 18, I called him for the only time. He said that he would come to me himself.”

However, this meeting was not destined to take place - in 2006, Ilya’s father passed away. Madina was touched to the depths of her soul by the actor’s story. She did not hold back her feelings and hugged the bachelor.
Relatives were delighted with Tamova - they were delighted with her upbringing and respect for elders. Glinnikov also admitted that he intends to take his grandfather’s surname - Meskhi.
Ekaterina Nikulina had a more intense meeting in the family circle. Ilya’s relatives were alarmed by the fact that the girl works in the modeling business and wants to act in films. They also did not appreciate the compliment the participant gave to Ilya’s grandmother - she noted that she had beautiful eyes. However, the whole family felt that this was nothing more than flattery.

Lesya Ryabtseva was very worried before meeting with the closest people of the main character of the show “The Bachelor”. The man told the family that he liked her intelligence - he was happy to talk to her on any topic. Glinnikov’s relatives noted that there were no romantic feelings between Ilya and Lesya - the young people looked like good friends. However, the journalist admitted that she simply does not splash out her tenderness towards Ilya. The main character's aunt advised her not to hide love when she has it.
On the fourth evening, Snezhana Samokhina came to visit the Glinnikov family. She honestly admitted that she did not have strong feelings for Ilya. The girl said that even if the bachelor does not choose her, they will remain just friends.
The actor had a hard time making a decision at the last rose ceremony. Despite the fact that he became attached to each girl in his own way and was able to appreciate the inner beauty, he had to part with Lesya Ryabtseova and Snezhana Samokhina. In the final episode, Ilya will decide with whom exactly he should continue to build a relationship - with Madina or with Ekaterina.
