Telecinco is gearing up to captivate Tuesday nights with a fresh dating concept called First Dates: Hotel. This new spin-off from the beloved format First Dates promises plenty of romance and a generous dose of humor as contestants arrive with hopes of finding connection on camera. The air date is set for next Tuesday, and the show will begin at 22:50, inviting viewers to watch the arrival of participants who are ready to explore meaningful connections in a setting designed for big feelings and honest moments.
Late last night during the premiere of Survivors: All Stars, Lidia Torrent and Carlos Sobera stepped onto the set to tease what lies ahead for the new program. They painted a vivid picture of the energy the spin-off brings — passion, vulnerability, and a spectrum of emotions — including moments of playful tension and genuine chemistry. The host pair emphasized that the hotel setting adds a distinct charm to the dating experience, and that the participants themselves were eager to open up and share themselves with the others who cross their paths.
Carlos Sobera later explained that while the core mechanics echo the familiar dance of first impressions from First Dates, the twist here is that viewers will witness both the before and after of each date. Before the identities of the potential partners are revealed, the couples begin to interact, get to know one another, and test the waters in a relaxed atmosphere near the water and the pool. The intention is to let the audience feel the natural progression of attraction as it unfolds, instead of only seeing the reveal itself.
In terms of what audiences might expect, the hosts indicated that love will be on the table for many. The show will feature a diverse mix of participants spanning different ages and life stages. There is anticipation that some couples will linger beyond a single episode, continuing their journey as they search for a lasting connection. Some participants may travel through extended weeks with their partners, navigating missteps, coincidences, and breakthroughs, in a dynamic that is both multifaceted and entertaining. The unfolding relationships are expected to offer moments of humor, tenderness, and surprising turns that remind viewers why dating on camera remains both relatable and endlessly watchable.
