This week's episode focuses on a New York and Los Angeles switch

Episode 101 (NY & LA) � SOAPnet premieres "Holidate," a 10-episode, original reality series focusing on two different women each week who are both successful and dynamic, but unlucky in love. These women will switch cites and more importantly, the boys next door! The series premiere of "Holidate" airs WEDNESDAY, JULY 29 (10:00 � 11:00 p.m., ET/PT) on SOAPnet.

In every episode, two new women from different areas of the country venture out of their comfort zones and into a new part of the country to holidate in a city completely unlike where they currently live. Once they switch cities, each woman explores her new surroundings and embarks on a series of 3 dates hand-selected by the other lady. While each of our women have dated many men in their own hometowns, imagine what could happen once they leave their old lives behind to become immersed in the sexiness of Santa Fe, the mystery of Miami, or the non-stop nightlife in New York, all to look for Mr. Right. In the end, each girl will have the opportunity to meet up again with one of the guys she has met on her holidate and invite him to fly out and visit her in her hometown.

In the first episode, Christian Cloud, a 34-year-old model from the Los Angeles beach community of Venice, will swap places with Tai Beauchamp, a 31-year-old social entrepreneur from New York. While in the Big Apple, Christian will date three separate men, including an owner of a successful hedge fund company and a profitable real estate broker, in and around different locales in the �City that Never Sleeps.� Will one of these guys be her Mr. Right? Meanwhile on the West coast, Tai looks for the perfect man � all who work in the entertainment industry � as each date takes her to a wide variety of settings in the City of Angels including the famed southern California beach, a private yacht sunset cruise, and one of Hollywood's hottest nightspots. Will Tai invite one of her dates back to the East coast?
