First Dates returns with eight more singles taking a chance on a blind date, including former Married at First Sight bride Olivia as she looks for a nice guy.
The episode keeps the focus on the mix of nerves, chemistry and awkward honesty that makes the dating format work. With several pairings in play, tonight’s question is simple: who will want a second date, and who will leave disappointed?
