The new First Dates season started yesterday. And regular viewers willnotice: the restaurant has been renovated. Although most viewers are positiveabout the change, there is one thing they absolutely do not like. “Such awrong Dutch cowardice.”
For ten seasons, singles have been going on dates in the well-known restaurantto find love there, but things are different in the new season. For example,the decor has been adjusted: fresher colors have been added, more greenery,new furniture and a completely new layout. The restaurant now looks a lot moremodern and even cozier.
Although this is of course already quite a change in the program, it does notstop there. It also adds a new element First Dates added. The singles whohave gone on a date can decide at the end of their date whether they want tohave another drink with each other or whether they want to go out on the towntogether.
Mostly positive reactions after the renovation of the First Datesrestaurant
Viewers can appreciate the changes to the decor. But it also takes somegetting used to, some say. They compare it to the renovation of the localsupermarket. “The complete First Dates restaurant has been overhauled. Thisfeels just like when my regular supermarket suddenly changed its layoutcompletely. NOTHING IS RIGHT! Lost everything! Error-error-error.”

There is one element that viewers absolutely cannot appreciate: ‘I can’t!’
Viewers are generally positive about the changes, but there’s one thing theydon’t like. And that has to do with the wardrobe. “It’s a pity that thereseems to have been no more budget for decent clothes hangers instead of thosedry cleaning boys. Does it look so beautiful and then that”, someone responds.

Another First Dates viewer says: “A new season, a more luxurious interior,all nice. But, then your wardrobe has those terribly cheap clothes hangers.Such a bad Dutch knucklehead… Too bad.” Another says that the makers shouldtherefore no longer film there. “Those hangers for the coats are really notpossible!”
