Home and Away Superfan's Blind Date With Bri | First Dates Australia | S1 E5

A Home and Away superfan chases his Palm Beach dream, an 18-year-old braves her first date, and a Navy vet makes him split the bill. Inside the First Dates Australia restaurant, Mark, a restaurant manager from the south coast of England, arrives starry-eyed about all things Home and Away. He orders an espresso martini and meets Bri, a blonde aspiring journalist who wants to be seen for more than first impressions. From Palm Beach memories to Indy chatter and accent swaps, Mark even floats the idea of a second date touring Summer Bay filming spots. Meanwhile, 18-year-old Kiki shows up for her first ever date with art student Lachlan. Between a cheeky attempt at French, big talk about changing the world, and counting the cost of risotto and zucchini flowers, they find matching values but question the butterflies. Their call: friends for now, no rush. Fashion manager Bex collides with Irish charmer Anthony. The brogue is strong and the banter is quick, but long-term chemistry proves elusive and they part with smiles. Mother of two Chris steps back into dating for the first time in 13 years after losing her husband to melanoma. She and fitness coach Adam connect on life, travel and honesty, even as they differ on whether more children are in their future. And Navy veteran turned IT manager Nicole puts government worker and PT Ash firmly on his toes. From a confident entrance to the line of the night - "I refuse to let a man pay" - she insists on splitting the bill and shows she can more than hold her own. Watch to see who asks for date number two and who calls it a night. #FirstDatesAustralia #FirstDates #BlindDate #HomeAndAway #SplitTheBill #AussieLove #RealityTV
