Rarely does a 'loser' end being some highly noted figure....but somehow, this German reality TV show guy....Jens Buchner....figured out the way to accomplish this.
I started watching 'Goodbye Germany' show twelve years ago. Most of the dynamics were marginal. But along the way...maybe six to seven years ago....Buchner came along. He wanted to leave Germany.....move down into the Spanish isles and become a nightclub singer. It's safe to say.....he was a pretty less-than-average singer.
Originally, with number one, the show would touch on Jen's soap opera lifestyle....demonstrate his battle of becoming a singer....and make you quietly pull for the guy.
Then he and wife number one split up....but on good relations.
Jens then got into wife number two, and the reality show continued on.
I have to admit.....he'd become probably one of the five most recognized men in Germany. Never really a big success at whatever he did, but it was his drive to continue on that was remarkable.
In the past ten days....chaos came up with his health.....checking into a hospital. He was dying. A spot on his lungs....very weakened.
In truth, I think most folks were attached to Jens because he was just a regular guy. It's true....he couldn't sing....his life decisions were not the best in the world....and his success is mostly because of the reality TV series. But he was the 'little' guy that you admired for never giving up.
