The world of blind dates is full of surprises, and the latest episode of the popular dating show delivered plenty. Viewers watched an Alicante backdrop set the scene for an evening that began with promise but ended with awkwardness. One of the bachelors, Pepe, made a remark that drew attention and sparked debate. The storyline centers on Pepe and Inmaculada, two residents of Alicante, whose first impression looked favorable, yet a single comment changed the mood entirely.
Pepe, who is retired from a life spent in Elche, laid out his idea of the ideal partner the moment he sat down at the restaurant. He described a woman who is kind and cheerful, someone a bit full-figured, not slim, with a sense of playfulness. He even added a vivid image about how she should fit into his arms. Inmaculada, a young woman sporting seven tattoos and a bright demeanor, seemed to embody that description at first glance.
The conversation began on a positive note, as the two singles discovered common ground in their shared love of music and, in particular, the renowned singer Camilo Sesto. Yet as their talk unfolded, a disagreement about pet ownership surfaced, creating an uneasy undertone. Still, they managed to find common ground, a reminder that interests can bridge differences even in the early stages of getting to know someone.
Things took a sharp turn when Pepe offered a controversial compliment about the artist’s voice, followed by a troubling remark about sexuality. He stated, in discussing the singer, that the voice was beautiful and then added a remark that referenced a sexual orientation in a disrespectful way. Inmaculada reacted with visible concern, signaling that the comment crossed a line. Pepe attempted to defend his language by saying that changing how he speaks would be difficult at his age, a claim that did little to soften the moment for his date.
With the atmosphere growing tense, the couple shifted topics to romantic preferences, navigating the idea of modern relationship models. Pepe described open relationships as being too contemporary for his taste, a stance that did not align with Inmaculada’s views. The exchange highlighted how differences in personal values and expectations can shape the direction of a first date, even when two people share a love for music and a similar sense of humor.
As the night wore on, Pepe admitted a preference that caught Inmaculada by surprise. He confessed a desire for someone who was a little fuller, prompting her to respond with honesty about her own body image and health goals. The dessert course brought a light, flirtatious energy back to the table, allowing the night to end on a more playful note despite the earlier tension.
Ultimately, Inmaculada expressed interest in a second chance, hoping to explore the connection further. Pepe, however, hesitated to pursue something he felt he could not fully justify physically, concluding the date with a respectful but clear decision. The episode closed with reflections on the power of respectful communication and the impact of words on the course of a first encounter on television.

The episode offers a bittersweet takeaway: awkward moments and disagreements can coexist with moments of genuine connection. Yet Pepe’s remarks about Camilo Sesto’s sexual orientation and comments about Inmaculada’s physique cast a shadow over the experience. The broader lesson remains clear: on any date, even on a dating show, respectful language and empathy are essential, and listening matters as much as sharing one’s own views. This is the essence of what audiences take away from First Dates.
