Date My Abuelita, First!

Welcome to Date My Vico, First! Today, Vico is grabbing the episode by the balls and the ovaries! And Abuelita is getting a surprise. Is it a steaming hot plate of veggie lomo saltado, a day of peace and quiet…or is it three handsome men?  We couldn’t end this season without giving Abuelita a taste of her own medicine. On this episode, Vico sorts through three eligible bachelors as they each try for a tryst with our beloved Abuelita. The contestants prove they don’t have two left feet by saying their smoothest pick up lines in honor of the most beautiful girl on the dance floor. Vico has some salacious cafecitos con Vico and listens to the contestant’s best and worst dating advice— telenovela style of course. We hear Liliana’s outrageous commentary along the way, and you already know she doesn’t hold back. Will one of these contestants emerge as a potential husband number six? Or will Vico have to come back for another round of Date My Vico, First!

This week we are going on a ride… a scooter ride, of course. We meet our main dater, loveable Sonia, who runs with a pack of free-wheelin’ lesbians every Sunday, taking over the streets on their scooters and calling themselves the lesbian little rascals. She has that “old school spirit” – opening doors, paying for dates – that Abuelita Liliana can appreciate, and she considers herself a gentlewoman.  Sonia is defying lesbian stereotypes – she wants to take things slow (no U-hauls here!) and is honing her ability to notice red flags as they pop up.  We meet three contestants, a heartthrob jewelry maker, a Long Beach Baby who likes to be wined and dined, and a well traveled physician looking for companionship. The contestants play a game of “Ride or Die” and “Chivalry isn’t Dead” in honor of our gentlewoman main dater. Will Abuelita Liliana find someone who can go slow with Sonia?

This week we meet a very special main dater, Ane, who loves other-worldly genders and dancing and just happens to be one of Vico’s partners. In this episode, Abuelita Liliana learns more about polyamory from Ane and the contestants. She adds some vocabulary words to her tool belt; “Siri…define metamours, Siri…define compersion”.  Our two beloved hosts certainly don't always see eye to eye when it comes to dating, and that is very obvious in this episode. They talk about different ways to seek connection, and watch OUT, we are talking about attachment styles this episode! We meet 3 contestants who are well versed in polyamory and kink. The contestants play “Acronyms”, where they have to text their way into Liliana's heart and play the classic “Never Have I Ever”. Our main dater goes head to head with Liliana about the outcome of the cafecitos. What will win in the end; a modern day poly love story or Abuelita’s “one true love” style romance?

Main dater this week, féi, is looking for that unidentifiable, “je ne sais quoi” swagger in a potential love match. féi brings a telenovela main character energy and is hoping to find “the homie you get to explore life with”. Abuelita and féi bond over being 310 girls. She shares with Abuelita Liliana the impact of growing up queer and undocumented and wanting to honor Inglewood in her artistry now. We meet 3 very different contestants; a Montana raised suitor who brings a little country swag to the table, a grandma's boy, and another multi-hyphenate artist who has a very grounded view of love. The contestants play a round of “Assumptions” and “Swagger Like Us: Telenovela Edition” for Abuelita Liliana to see who has what it takes. Will Abuelita Liliana find someone to compliment féi’s mami energy?

The episode this week is for the golden oldies. We take you back to a simpler time; Abuelita Liliana and our main dater, Alberto, frequented clubs and bars around Los Angeles, back before Abuelita was an abuelita and Alberto was a… Soltero Dorado. Our main dater, Alberto used to be a playboy who had a whole tool belt full of pick up lines. Now, he is a handyman and actor who is looking for love. Abuelita Liliana does her old friend a favor, but it’s the ladies this week she has a good time with. On today’s episode we meet a visual artist who likes to walk around the house naked, a writer with a busy schedule, and a dancer who is learning to be adventurous. The women play a raucous game of “Never Have I Ever” (with some stories that are not safe for work!) and in “Handyman’s Tool Belt”, they flash their best pick up lines. Will Abuelita be able to help our Main Dater relive his younger years with the same reckless abandonment? Or will he be our thoughtful “Soltero Dorado”?
