The Botchelor · Open date room
Teo Brandt × Inés Castellano
📍 A karaoke booth, one hour booked
A cramped karaoke booth booked for a full hour, with a bizarre polka track already queued on the screen.
Teo Brandt: Find someone who can lead and make it laugh
Inés Castellano: Avoid talking about work and find someone reliable
First impressions
Planting unauthorized trees? Oh, you are absolute trouble, and I adore a woman with a rap sheet.
Let's definitely not talk about my rap sheet, okay? Tell me about these ring boxes instead.
Let's just say I have a very secure drawer and a terrible weakness for curiosity.
The challenge
🎬 The plan for the date collapses and they have to improvise.
Are you going to make me guess what kind of music is queued up next, or are we singing?
Oh, singing with me requires a solid frame, but let's see if you can carry a tune as well as you carry shrubbery.
I carry shrubs with absolute dignity, thank you very much! Lead the way to the mic.
The decision
Dignity and shrubbery are a rare combination; grab the microphone and let's see how well you handle a duet.
Only if you promise not to judge my terrible high notes!
The twist
The broken karaoke machine actually forces them into a hilarious impromptu comedy routine that breaks the ice instantly.
The decision
They walk out of the venue side-by-side, sharing a warm platonic laugh and agreeing to meet up again soon. Both characters leave together as happy friends.
Ending: Just friends
Who leaves the date first? They leave together
🎤 The room's question for the challenge: Ask the hard truth: what are you really looking for?
The room called it Need more evidence. The characters chose Just friends.
