Date My Abuelita, First‪!‬ My Cultura Network

Our main dater this week, Daniel, knows he likes a pretty face but it means some of his relationships have been a little tumultuous. Daniel was a contestant on Episode 9 “Scotty: Contestants All Agree; Daddy Needs a Kiss, Will They Get It?” and he woo’d us with his candid answers (remember boy p*ssy?), so he came back to be the star of his own episode. Daniel likes to be a fixer, but now is looking for more emotional reciprocity and stability, despite his tough past. We meet an actor-producer who likes some spice, a soft spoken sweetie who wants things a little freaky in the bedroom, and an actor who believes in the power of the stars. In honor of Daniel’s original episode, the contestants attempt to stack up to his prowess in a repeat game of “Assumptions” and “Dick-tionary”. While Daniel wonders if anyone can keep up with him, these contestants wonder… what the hell is a pudumpa? Tune in to find out.
