    Scotty: Contestants All Agree; Daddy Needs a Kiss, Will They Get It?

    This week we meet 22 year old Scotty, a columnist who brags he’s gone on more dates than he can count. Abuelita hopes that her date will be the one that lasts. We meet 3 contestants; a comedian who could woo Abuelita with his eyes, an activist who teaches Abuelita what bussy is, and an aspiring make-up artist who knows to ask for a little attention. They play a round of “Dating App Daddies” and a table slapping game of “Dick-tionary”. Will Scotty find a new love connection to report on in his column? Music Credit: Nargo - "Rhythm of Samba" via Jamendo.com

Hmm

You can’t rate an Abuelita! But it would be nice to have updates on what happened after? Did the dates go well? Are they still together? More info please!

So Queer friendly and fun

The straight episodes can be a little cringy and annoying but the queer episodes are gold. They always make me laugh and feel good. I love all the creative answers and the beautiful personalities. The hosts take it down a notch and always throw in some realness which makes the show engaging. A good hug from abuelita.

Abuelita’s inuition ,

Such a fun show!

I love the concept of this dating show! And I want to send so many friends to get set up! I love the dynamic between abuelita and vico, and all the games they play are such a good time. Maybe I should give AI (abuelita’s intuition) a try.
