procedure

The location of the German edition is a former warehouse in Cologne - Ehrenfeld ; First Dates Austria is filmed in a Viennese restaurant. There, the host greets the candidates individually, leads them to the bar and introduces them to each other. Over a drink served at the bar, the couples make their first contacts and are then guided to their table by Trettl or Natascha, where they choose their dish and eat together. At the end of the meal, the bill is presented in a box and the candidates have to agree on a payment method. If desired, it can be sent to the photo box. The candidates are first asked separately and then together whether they would like to meet again.

At the end of each episode, what happened to the couples is sometimes shown. The biting comments from the staff are also part of the program.

reception

At dwdl , a comparison is made with first dates - we fall in love with Germany! (started in October 2015) from Sixx : “It's the little things [..] that make the German version seem so coherent. Incidentally, it is more consistent than the version that was seen largely unnoticed at Sixx some time ago. In comparison, Vox and Warner Bros. have lovingly developed the format. "

The Upper Austrian News said: “It is much nicer to watch the naked, the freaky and the gruesome getting to know each other in other programs, it is to watch normal people how they reveal some things deliberately and many unintentionally. Conclusion: reunion possible and desired. "
