Every week, we find ourselves captivated by the drama of the reality dating show Date My Family, where eligible bachelors and bachelorettes embark on a quest for love.

The show allows contestants to not only meet their potential partners but also their families, resulting in entertaining and often eyebrow-raising moments. 🤨

Here's a look at the types of contestants you're likely to encounter on the show:

The savage bachelor or bachelorette.

Kwavele kwaba awkward (It just got awkward)! 😬 First up is the savage contestant. This person has a knack for subtly throwing shade at every family they meet, often delivering biting commentary. Their witty remarks can be both entertaining and slightly uncomfortable for the families involved. 😖  They are known for their critical approach, making it clear that they have high standards and aren't afraid to express their opinions, sometimes leaving both their date and their family members on edge.

The question dodger

Next, we have the infamous question dodger. This contestant has mastered the art of avoiding straightforward responses, often spinning complex answers that leave every

one more confused than informed. 🤦🏾‍♀️ Their tendency to dodge questions creates an air of mystery, but it can also frustrate potential partners and their families. Sinijongile (We see you)! 😑

The seeker of good times

Then there's the good times’ seeker, a bachelor or bachelorette. who enters the dating scene with somewhat skewed expectations. This individual often believes that, as a couple, they should be going out to party and drink every week or enjoying other carefree outings. 🍻 Mr or Ms Good Times is usually laid-back or has a carefree attitude. Red flag? Yebo! 🚩

The soft life seeker

We can't overlook the  bachelor or bachelorette who is all about luxury and has high expectations. This individual often seeks a lavish lifestyle funded by their partner, setting the bar incredibly high. 😓  They are not just looking for affection, they want a partner who can provide them with a comfortable existence, complete with a fancy car, an upscale apartment, and an impressive "girlfriend allowance”. They often start a conversation with, "Indoda must ... (A man must …”. Jolani asinamona (Go on, date, we're not jealous).  🤣
