First Dates has become one of the star programs on Cuatro’s schedule. Every night, several single men and women show up at the most famous restaurant on television ready for Carlos Sobera and his entire team to help them find love. But, what is the casting of this format like? One of its contestants, Lin, explains on her social networks what the questionnaire that applicants must complete consists of.
It is a series of questions that allow the production of First Dates to know the tastes, as well as aspirations, of each of the contestants so that they can find their better half more easily. One of the first questions focuses on the sexual role of each one. I have said that I am passive, submissive, says Lin. Would you have an open relationship? They are interested from the program. No, she answers bluntly.
Each aspiring contestant must also make a brief summary of their origins. I am Asian, black hair. Other traits of mine? I have tattoos. I have two: one of dogs and another of a lotus flower, she says on her TikTok profile while she shows both designs; one on his arm and one on his upper back. Piercings? Don’t have. Aesthetic touch-ups? Neither. Beard? Neitherhe adds between laughs.
Questions regarding physical appearance are also included in the questionnaire. Among an endless number of answers, including cani, bohemian, androgynous, sexy, punk, surfer, heavy, trendy, etc., Lin answers: In the look, I have put a casual style. As for hobbies, the contestant highlights that among the options to mark, she is surprised that the word bullfighting appears. Is there a bullfighting hobby? Is it a hobby? My God, poor people… Animal abusesentence.
What an obsession with bulls!
The production of First Dates investigates the life philosophy of the applicants when choosing their contestants. I said I’m a landlord, says Lin. Among the options? Vegetarian, nudist, ambitious, fitness, entrepreneur… I like being at home, she adds. Political theology is another of the questions in the questionnaire. I am not from any party, I am not going to vote. I have never voted, says Lin.
What religion do you practice? Do you like bulls?, they ask from the Cuatro program. How heavy with the bulls!, ditch Lin. With all these issues, the production team ensures that the single men and women who have a date on television have as many hobbies in common as possible.
