dad was forced to be there 😂😂😂

[@pdo3754]

Stank face the whole time lol.

[@nickloo1872]

LMAOOOOOO

[@KB2MB]

Pops was like…wth is going nowadays

[@heckkaGEE]

😂😂

[@kanyelives]

dad prob like free food? OK!

[@Dandelion_Eye23]

The way the girls supported eachother is my favorite part of this whole video

[@redtski]

Same! It was so cute and they were all lovely, gentle ladies

[@faicotone]

the mom is clearly a spicy person and Im not surprised they picked Kali. They're definitely looking for someone colorful that could fit well into their family.

[@hashtagmate]

The fact that both her and the mom wore yellow - if that ain't a sign

[@chocolito9461]

Man I got to learn not read comments while I'm still watching the video I just got spoiled bro 😭

[@LuluxuStudio]

@@chocolito9461 LOL

[@andis9076]

Wondered how his mom pick his dad, he seems bored and not spicy at tall.

[@peterxiao6217]

damn spoiler alert

[@bittertea]

Really felt bad for Annie. I think there is many out there who appreciate her a lot. She is so sweet.

[@premtgboy56]

I rather have Annie. She ready to start a family or being simple so no one need to work hard on meals for each day. Doing over the top meals every day from a person like me who a chef. It really hard in relationship, cuz once a person who do a bad meal you would dislike them more. Lower on expectation on a meal mean when it does come a special event or meal. You know it took more time on it.

[@brentmurray4201]

She seemed like the coolest to me.

[@msjahun]

@@brentmurray4201 Yeah I agree

[@fn_main]

I definitely do, she seems very sweet. Anyways probably for the best, she doesnt seem to match with the guy

[@aaronmontgomery2055]

@@premtgboy56 sure, but you can't have no spice in mapo tofu. She does seem sweet, but definitely not for him or their family.

[@darrylt8502]

Appearance wise, I think Nick and Kali make a perfect match. Annie and Lily are too cute and wholesome for Nick.

[@nickloo1872]

Ahhahahah

[@apeiceofmoldedclay]

Agreed. He is taking his date to the club. The third girl would definitely be put off by that. The first girl probably wouldn't like that either.

[@pdo3754]

Annie out here getting overly criticized. They should bring her back but let her choose. They were saying how she's bland and boring based on her cooking. The mom said she cooks for kids because not as flavorful. Sometimes you just want to eat a bland fulfilling meal lol. But yea, I'd say bring her back and let her choose the guys' cooking.

[@joeybagodonuts6683]

Great idea!

[@joshuawynne686]

Who wants to eat a bland meal lmao

[@thaisonkesak7691]

Bland ??? Huh

[@videowatcher6246]

Annie's got a really sweet personality. I feel they felt her cooking was bland mainly because she used lao gan ma. While I love lao gan ma's range of sauces, they do lack the real kick of true mapo tofu. There's a zing that's lacking if all you use is the spice paste without adding other flavours. Especially that final sprinkle of Szechuan peppercorn.

[@v1760side]

​​@@thaisonkesak7691 she said it herself dude 😂. I would have picked the same based on the food alone.

[@ApparentlyNott]

can all the women just go out on a friendship date instead, they are all so supportive and cute!

[@q0rpz368]

i was skeptical about the addition of the parents, but this was adorable! 😄

[@DeeTofa]

Parent-approved dates almost always have the best relationships.

[@MishaPoop-lz4ky]

how is nobody talking about Kali wearing Yor's flowers and earrings like thats cute af

[@isbpiano]

Wow Annie is so cute and considerate!!! She took those comments so well. Marriage quality girl right there!!!!!!

[@ylacs]

Their cooking matches perfectly with their outfits and vibe I love it 🥰

[@zsalman38bssaddict3]

6:28 she's so supportive this episode is very very nice i like it with parents

[@CamCadie]

The host just low key roasting these girls especially the “pretty try hard” with the most dead serious face ever. Not smiling once throughout the whole vid 😂

[@thaisonkesak7691]

Lol I don’t think there’s need to feel BAD about the other girls. It was a fun dating game and everyone got along and were respectful. Love this !

[@collettewang6181]

They’re so pretty! Kali and her headband is giving Yor and i’m loving it

[@SamSam-jn2rw]

Love how the mom and future GF had the same colours how awesome

[@feederchua]

maybe it's the editing style, but it was hilarious hearing the host call one of the girls "try hard" considering how he's been giving off super try hard vibes with his hosting style.

[@kjfhkadjh]

ANNIE IS SOOOOO CUTE I WANT A DEPENDABLE NO HONEYMOON GAL!!!

[@kaiite]

same tho but they don't make bi versions of these shows for some reason.....

[@kaylarotondi1293]

@@kaiite i wish they did!!! 😭😭 us bisexuals are very chaotic tho..they’d probably wanna pick all 3 people 😂❤

[@paulatreides77]

"Your spice is lacking? I am gonna get REKT." 🤣

[@wongjefx980]

All three girls are cuties. Annie’s such a cutie, Lily’s hot, and Kali can cook. The Mom reminds me of mine…the comment about the Chinese broccoli had me rolling…such a Southern Chinese Mom.

[@cadylady7287]

I love how Kali and the mom were both wearing yellow! 💛

[@joeybagodonuts6683]

I really enjoy these. Buzzfeed kinda did this years ago, but this version is way better imo. I'll watch these with every ethnicity or style of cooking you can come up with! Keep it going!

[@alycon4x]

APop is part of Buzzfeed.

[@joeybagodonuts6683]

@@alycon4x Oh oops my bad lol!😁

[@alycon4x]

@@joeybagodonuts6683 No worries. Buzzfeed has created several subchannels recently.

[@thecunninlynguist]

@@alycon4x AH. I was kinda curious why it was on here and not on Buzzfeed's main channel anymore. Thought maybe Chris took it to another channel. BuzzfeedUK still puts theirs on the main channel...and the latest one on BuzzfeedUK about mac and cheese is 🤣

[@cerebrumexcrement]

they put the camera too much on the host tho. sometimes i forget who the bachelor is.

[@FinalNinja1226]

Nick's mom was so funny 😂

[@abdelkoddous3132]

She got me in tears with the "mushroom increase....." 🤣🤣🤣

[@fatesteyneit2990]

bruh as a try-hard myself, Kali had my heart just by the way she dressed 😢😭

[@tamaraandersson2532]

This was one of the best pairings I've seen on this format. Hope they had a good time!

[@iamkaylagreen]

So happy to see my girl Kali looking so stunning! Such a great cook can’t help but stan🙌🏽😍

[@allyeatworld]

please bring these girls back (preferably with their parents, heh) they are all so CUTE!!

[@t.quinonez348]

They actually make a really nice couple. This is exciting! Imagine if they stay together forever 😍

[@RareNine]

100% would go for Annie just by the food. If by personality just from their character, Annie. She’s just too cute, I love it lol

[@reinerca]

I'm OBSESSED with his mother's accent 😍It's such a beautiful combination of Chinese and NY

[@Sjekster]

We were singing "Annie are you OK?!" 🎶 the whole time. 😄

[@salome5087]

all the girls are so pretty 💞

[@teza2922]

Love that the both parents was there. Great episode :)

[@letsdoodlesomethinghome3404]

Nah the dad was forced to be there 😂 The mum did all the talking 😉

I clicked for the cute boy, I stayed for Kali’s smile and personality

[@grifetheastrologer]

This felt aggressive 😂 but wholesome at the same time. Reminded me of saeguk kdramas 😂😂😂

[@SeiphersZone]

Man, Annie is super sweet. I'd pick her purely because she wanted to be authentic and brought 3 bowls haha

[@elainakate2005]

The mom is an icon & needs to be brought back! Love her 🫶🏼

[@i-am-your-conscience]

The third one is just the sweetest.. If I would have to choose without the dish it would be 100% her.

[@autolargue]

the twist with the parents really elevated the show

[@stardewtealatte]

"even the parents want spice?" mom: "yeah that's how you keep your life going, right?"

[@chai-sama]

You guys should ask them who they think made which dish and then reveal. I think that'd be fun to watch.

[@jessicachhom7673]

We need more of these lmao the parents make it more entertaining

[@Johug]

Idk who I would have picked based on the food but seeing them and their personalities. I would choose Annie such a sweetheart!

[@daninspiration4064]

all three were lovely and great attitude i personally like lilly or annie more

[@jackettetls]

seriously cant believe no ones commented on the cute af yor headband kali wore!! whole family picked a winning fit, and nicks so lucky to get a spicy weeb girl!!!

Kali's outfit is giving Spy x Family's Yor vibes fr fr

[@Gabbs_0.x]

I think the addition of a parent (or two) who know how to cook and what does into a dish is brilliant and would love to see more of it, No roasting but to give insight and their wisdom. Very cool.

[@trybaes]

I need more of her she’s hilarious

[@monet9426]

The mom was so cool. I liked nick’s family. That nyc flavor was comin thru high key lol. Kali’s dish looked really nice!

[@staticjump]

Love the New York tinged Chinese Accent on the parents.

[@bookbag6432]

They said he was a DJ, and he owns a bar, so it made sense that they went with someone who is spicy with a fun personality.

[@BabyJiggly]

I love how the Mom and Kali are sort of in the same colors 😅

[@liekabauz]

All three women were great. They all their own charm and great personalities. I would date any one of them

[@tinaranathania]

KALI REMINDS ME OF YORRRRRRR

[@AmirhoseinHerandy]

I'm definitely not an expert, but I think a good mapo tofu needs to be a nice bright red, which you can get by frying the chili bean paste properly.

[@videowatcher6246]

Yup. Frying the chilli bean paste also results in a layer of bright red oil on top, which is essential to mapo tofu.

[@nikjonestravel]

Their dishes really reflected them, so cute!

[@thecozyconstellation]

oooh having the parents there raises the bar! i'm just watching and it made me nervous LOL
