The Botchelor · Premiere
David Smith × Rafe Calloway
Under the neon lights of a stormy rooftop dessert lounge, surrounded by howling winds and dripping awnings.
- David Smith: Find someone who can make it laugh
- Rafe Calloway: Someone who will taste-test without lying
First impressions
A rainy-day bakery sounds cool, but can you actually bake something that makes me laugh, or are you just dramatic?
Laugh? I once built a life-sized cathedral out of caramelized sugar just because a judge doubted my passion!
Okay, a sugar cathedral is pretty wild, I'll give you that. Can you bake me something that actually tastes as good as it looks?
The challenge
🎬 Someone asks a question that is hard to dodge.
Oh, taste is my religion! Let's talk about anything else in the universe first, though.
Alright, dodging the baking test already? Fine, tell me the absolute worst disaster you've ever baked.
The worst disaster? Let's just say a batch of soufflés staged a mass escape and ruined my favorite trousers!
The decision
Escaping soufflés? Yeah, that's definitely a hard pass on whatever you're selling.
If you lack the palate to appreciate an adventurous pastry, we are done here!
The twist
Instead of politely parting ways at the table, they bonded over mutual disaster and left together just to continue arguing.
The decision
Both refused a second date, marching off into the storm arm-in-arm while bickering loudly about flour quality. It was a complete disaster, but at least they exited in style.
Ending: A disaster
Who leaves the date first? They leave together
