First Dates Australia continued to charm viewers on Tuesday night, with Seven’s dating series serving up another round of first impressions, make-out sessions, spilt pasta and believe it or not – declining cards.

Last night’s episode reached 1.151 million Australians, with a Total TV National Average Audience of 554,000.
Dater Bronte accidentally dropped pasta sauce onto her dress during dinner – using the bathroom hand dryer to get rid of the stain. To make matters worse, it happened right in front of her mum, Michelle, who was also on a date at the restaurant.
Later in the evening, her date Oli had his bank card decline several times when the bill arrived, forcing him to keep trying to pay.
To really top things off, Jessica and Jason threw caution to the wind, sealing their date with a passionate pash before saying goodbye.
