Reality star Gustav Masurek: New appearance on Everything that counts”!
Big news from the world of RTL series: The well-known reality star Gustav Masurek will be seen in a guest role in the popular series “Everything that counts”. The appearance of the charming actor, who is best known for formats such as “The Bachelorette” and “Bachelor in Paradise”, is scheduled for September 12th in episode 4,781. Masurek will take on the role of Bastian Schelberger, a content creator and photographer who comes to the showpiece for a shoot. This episode will be broadcast at 7:05 p.m. on RTL and will then also be available on RTL+, as Schwäbische.de reports.
The connection to actress Anne Menden should not be neglected. Menden, who has played the role of Emily Höfer on “Good Times, Bad Times” for over 20 years, actively supported Masurek in his acting ambitions. The two, who announced their engagement in March 2025, have been rehearsing scenes together for the past few months. Menden is proud of Masurek's progress and his commitment to the TV industry, as RTL.de highlights.
Reality show as a springboard
In today's media landscape, reality formats like “Everything that counts” are very popular. Interest in such shows, especially since the Corona pandemic, has increased noticeably. Viewers are often looking for variety and emotional escapism, which makes these formats attractive. As ZDFheute analyzes, such programs can have a relaxing effect, but they also require critical consideration because they often offer idealized and distorted representations of relationships and the realities of life.
Gustav Masurek is not just a face from reality TV, but also uses his popularity to open up new professional horizons in the acting field. With Menden at his side, whose long-standing career is also anchored in the GZSZ series, it shows how the two partners support each other. In an industry that often creates competition and conflict, a strong support network in the form of partners and friends is invaluable.
Fans will have to be patient until his performance premieres. But when his role as Bastian Schelberger flickers across the screens on September 12th at 7:05 p.m., viewers will certainly be in for an exciting moment in the RTL series world. True to the motto: “There’s something going on!”
