I hope they will show a bit more about the balloon trip on tomorrow's episode. Today is was all about Christian being afraid of flying on the balloon, it was funny and somehow cute, but I expected something different for their 'wedding present'.
Rebecca annoyed me more than usual, touching Christian's leg and the cheek kiss. Why is she always affective with Christian and not with Olli?

Rebecca annoyed me more than usual, touching Christian's leg and the cheek kiss. Why is she always affective with Christian and not with Olli? Yeah, my feelings exactly. I enjoyed the funny aspect of Christian being scared but I really expected to see at least a peck on the lips (we can't pretend also kisses ;D) or a caress or some nice and romantic words but...nothing . Tomorrow I think they're still on, so I'm keeping my hopes up...barely.

I think, tomorrow will be nothing with flying it lacked a bit of romance, but was funny today - just like everything lately chrolli do ... Unfortunately, this is probably what the authors have devised for them - clowns for fun

I am really starting to get fed up with the authors/DasErste (Where's Chroust when you need him)!!!
1. Chrolli have been reduced to being the laughing stock, or "break clowns" as you call it in my country. They have stripped their dialouge of romance and tension. The kisses are pecks and almost over before theyve even started. All they do now is work as mood lighteners. It's really an insult to both Thore and Jo as they have so much acting talent (hello coming out storyline, Olli in hospital, nearly breaking up-scenes). Instead they haveChristian go around being boring and more often than not having Olli running around No Limits comically like a hysterical queen (yes I said it. flame away)- I miss the way Chrolli were written before. Olli was never efeminate, so why are they making him stereotypical? 2. RE-FACKIN-BECAA. I have nothing against Jasmin. But why does Rebecca have to be in every scene, and at the WG at weird times (since she doesn't live there) like e.g at the crack of dawn for breakfast. It's like the authors are thinking "Gay relationships dont work on screen, WE HAVE TO THROW A WOMAN IN THERE". Sure ok, she's their friend (no idea why after all the shit shes put them through).. but wow she's clingy. ESPECIALLY to two people in a relationship.... but someone single would find her clingy too.
SHE IS NOT JUDITH. Don't try making her, DasErste. She's to hollow and annoying for that.
Rant over

As long as I've been watching soaps I know I will never like all the story lines my favorite couple are involved in. I have also missed the intimate scenes as well. Rebecca is ignoring and there throwing her down our throats by keeping her involved in Chrolli storyline even thou to us it's just not working. I feel it will get better and hopefully they will read these post and see how the fans feel and they will make changes. {HOPING}
I will never give up on Chrolli as long as there on VL, and as long as all the wonderful and beautiful people who do the uploading and subbing and recapping keep doing it. To me they are the perfect couple and yes sometime we will not enjoy some of there story lines as much as others.

At SchneidersChristian, Rebecca and Charlie are talking about the hot air balloon ride. Charlie says that they finally have to take care of it, after all it was their wedding present. Rebecca tells Christian that they don't have to do anything, only getting in, taking off and relaxing. Christian looks kinda uncomfortable, but pretends to be happy. Charlie asks if Rebecca got the appointment confirmed, but Christian tells them that unfortunately he has to work today. But lucky for Christian, Rebecca's talked to Elisabeth, who gave him the day off. Christian says that he's really happy about that, but somehow that's not really convincing. NoLimitsOlli carries some boxes inside and every customer wants something from him. Lydia comes in and notices that there're many people here and asks where all his waitresses are. Olli says that Anna's writing an exam and Miriam's at the doctor's, but we already knew that. Lydia's wondering that he has to do it all by himself, but he says that there are worse things. He then asks her how she is and if the room's alright for her. Lydia seems happy. Olli's phone rings, it's Christian! He asks Olli to come to Schneider's asap (after Olli had called him cowboy ). Olli asks him if something happened, but Christian replies that he can't tell him, it's a surprise. Olli tells him that he can't leave, because he's all alone at the NoLimits, but Lydia's taking over for him. Olli tells 'Chrissi' that he'll be over there in two minutes and then tells Lydia what the customers want. She'll manage it. SchneidersOlli's excited about being in the gondola with Christian, high above Düsseldorf. He asks Christian if he's ever been in a hot air balloon before, but he hasn't. Olli wonders if they could see the NoLimits from up there, but Christian doesn't seem thrilled. Olli: What's up with you? Are you not looking forward to it? Christian: Moderately. Do you even know how high this thing goes? What'll remain of you if the thing falls from the sky? Olli: You are scared? Christian: Pff! ... I'm scared the death even thinking about it! Olli: But you were happy, when they gave us the ride. Christian: Well, what was I supposed to say? Thanks for the shitty present, now please choose something else? Olli: But that's totally romantic! Only the both of us, alone in the balloon, the city beneath us. Christian: Olli, my brother was in a helicopter crash twice! I just don't want to. Olli asks him what their excuse should be and Christian replies a stomach flu. But that would only postpone the flight or does Christian want to have a stomach flu forever. Rebecca somes up and tells them that they'll go up at 4pm and KISSES CHRISTIAN!! [GO AWAY, REBECCA!!! Urgh...] NoLimitsOlli comes back and is impressed by Lydia and offers her a job. She refuses, since she already has one. Olli wants to thank her and invite her. Pizza? Sushi? Lydia replies, why don't they all go out together? They haven't done that in ages. Olli says that's fine, but could Lydia stay for another 10 minutes? Anna and Miriam will be here any minute and he'll go and hold Christian's hand in 1000m height. Lydia's envious of them, but Olli says that Christian's not such a fan of heights. Lydia's happy that Christian and Olli found each other. Olli says „If anyone had every told me, before Christian, that I'd once marry a man... But now I have Christian and everything feels right.“ [awwwww] OutdoorsOlli's amazed, he didn't imagine the thing to be that big. [*cough* that's what HE said ;D] Christian says that he did a little research that in Peru, people got into a powerline and were grilled. And in Austria [go Austria, wooo! ] a thermic upwind caused the balloon to collapse and all of the 7 people were dead! Olli laughs and tells Christian to take a break from being paranoid and rather take a picture of him in front of the balloon. Christian asks him if they really have to do this. Olli replies that he should either call Rebecca to cancel the ride or stop worrying and take a picture of Olli with the balloon. Olli's cell phone rings, it's Helena. They talk about Andi's condition and Helena asks if it's true that he cannot walk. Olli says yes and Helena hangs up. Olli turns around and says „Andi's going to kill me.“ But Christian replies „We'll manage that on our own.“ Back at the starting pointChristian asks the hot-air balloon guy if this is generally safe [Olli's so cute in the background, taking pictures of the balloon, he's so excited!!] and the hot-air balloon guy says it's safe, but then he also talks about Peru and Austria, but here, it's safe. Christian asks him if they'll get a certificate afterwards and if they couldn't get it beforehand, just to make sure they don't forget, but the guy says no. Olli is really excited about the ride, but Christian's not. Olli suggests that Christian could stay down here, if he really can't do it. But Christian doesn't like that either, it's both their wedding present. But what good is it if Christian dies of fear up there? Olli'll show him the pictures and tell him how great it was. But the Rebecca [urgh] and Charlie show up. Rebecca asks when it's finally starting and Charlie asks if it's even the right weather for it. Christian looks even less thrilled. Charlie asks that they should start now, and Rebecca asks where the balloonist is. He is in the balloon, surprise, surprise! Rebecca asks how the high balloon goes and Olli replies that he thinks about 1000m. Christian didn't want to know it exactly. Olli says that it's Christian's last chance and he can say now if he doesn't want to. But Christian doesn't want to be a coward and goes up to the balloon for a picture. He asks the balloonist if he's ever had an accident. „No,“ he replies „you only have accidents once.“ Charlie asks Christian, if he's chickening out, but Christian replies, no. They get into the balloon and take off. In the balloonChristian says that they're really high up, but Olli says that he should just hold onto him. Christian is worried that the balloonist does this hot-air-thingy every 30 seconds, but Olli reassures him. He tells him to close his eyes and open them slowly again. The view is amazing. Now Christian thinks it's beautiful. Sorry for the delay, got interrupted by various family members, who obviously don't understand the importance of Chrolli. And I have to say, I'm totally with Christian on that, I'm really scared of heights and don't trust hot air balloons either... Also loooooved Lysgar!!

might have been better, if it ended right after chrolli wedding - a happy ending and the end of the show I wouldn't suggest anything that radical... I totally agree - the writing sucks right now! But if I'm being honest I'm really happy that we can still continue watching Chrolli and I know there IS potential there! I just hope it will get better... I'll definitely watch every single episode even if it might sometimes feel more like a torture ;D ;D Thank you so much for the recap Liz!

wow liz, u are the BEST, stop apologizing! yeah, a little disappointed in the boys' lack of romance and not enough lack of rebecca It does seem like the boys have been reduced to the clowns of the show. It really is sad cuz there's SO much potential in Jo and Thore and its totally being wasted

might have been better, if it ended right after chrolli wedding - a happy ending and the end of the show I couldn't disagree more. I love their cute scenes and for me every little Chrolli scenes is better than no Chrolli at all. Thank you Liz for another fantastic recap and Joanna for the caps to come.

Oh, I do have to apologoize: I'll be at a conference all day tomorrow, I won't be able to write a recap then. I hope you guys will survive one day without a recap. I'm not sure about the sneak peek either, but I'll try.

I'm just worried ,that the authors destroy talent of JO and Thore, and that both of them give up this and go to another show It would make me really upset

I don't think Jo and Thore are prepared to leave the show just yet. From what I've heard and read in their interviews, they are really committed to these roles and they have put a lot of effort into them. Although, maybe they should have taken Rebecca with them in that balloon ride. And accidentaly push her over board. Uuuups!

Gah! Every time I try to hunker down and get through a scene with Rebecca, she goes and does something especially irritating. Why oh why is she kissing Christian??? It’s just so INAPPROPRIATE to say the least.

Ah! The only note-worthy thing about this snooze-worthy episode was Christian the Chicken posing in front of the hot-air balloon with the rooster/chicken body-strapped to it; Erwin's cousin, I'm guessing. I so knew Chrolli were gonna get neutered after marriage [hence, why I hated them marrying].....and here they are, truly the boring Old Married Couple. Makes sense, spoiler: after MatNat leaves, someone else needs to fill the spot of sleep-induction.VL, afraid to take an intriguing bite out of their golden-egg laying goose, aka Chrolli, has completely watered away any substance from them. For shame. Sigh, don't know how much longer I'm gonna be following Chrolli, or interested enough to care/tune in. I've never been a huge fan of "cutesy" fluff in dramas, and this is really, really, fucking testing my patience. *** On a positive note: Danke to the usual gang of amazing Chrolli volunteers - Joanna, MercuryMay, Lizkarita.

Liz, Joanna, MM...danke tous les trois!! I really hate Rebuerka...I think it's obvious to everyone...however I think she kissed Olli on the cheek after kissing Christian no? Not that it makes it any better, it just means she is sharing her "arghhhh" aspect!

I don’t know, from the way it was edited it didn’t seem like she kissed Olli. I didn’t even hear that mwah kissing sound. But yeah, it wouldn’t have made it any better had she shared her irritating affection with Olli too. Sigh, I really doubt it will be good to see her share it with anyone. Just please please please no more sharing it with Chrolli!

It’s just so INAPPROPRIATE to say the least. I'm almost sure that it is a provocation from the authors because they know we all hate Rebecca, and they do it on purpose >:(if you can't love her ,hate her at least

It’s just so INAPPROPRIATE to say the least. Funny thing. I wasn't too much against Rebecca (just a little) when she was always in Chrolli's way, because she was in love with Christian. Who could blame her, right? But now, she's really getting on my nerves. What the hell is she doing with them all the time? Next thing you now, she'll be sleeping with them or following them to the toilet! (Ok. Now I have to go wash my brain with a lot of soap for having had such yuk thought!)

^ I doubt the writers even care enough to provoke Chrolli Fans. No, I think the whole thing smacks of a definite LACK of care on their part. But to play devil's advocate, from their POV they did A LOT for Chrolli in 2010 - 1. Cut Olli's Hair 2. Relationship Strife w. Rob - SIX MONTHS OF IT!! 3. The Wedding As usual the issue is execution. and Madame Pony. SPOILER: but i can't get too mad at madam pony since she's going to hotly hook up w. miriam in a few months... go head gurl!... though is suppose i'll get all mad again b.c. she acts like an airhead afer...It's not worth getting worked up over, these things ebb and flow, and i'll just let my mind blissfully go blank for the 8 minutes or so they're on and think... gosh.. how pretty, and "oooh a big balloon!" MM, Liz, Joanna - Yay for the Chrolli Brigade!!!
