00:02No!
00:04You are crazy!
00:05Man, we cooking!
00:06Thank you, thank you.
00:07I love how you was, you know, being that partner with you.
00:10I'm a girl, period.
00:12I saw you were following hashtags about, like, poly life.
00:15I followed it out of curiosity.
00:17This is Ready to Love, not Ready to Love Everybody.
00:20You dope.
00:21Sahara is a soft woman that just wanted to be loved.
00:24I'm actually interested.
00:25This is serious.
00:26Yeah.
00:27It's my little firecracker, and I always got her under control.
00:29In a good way.
00:30This is sexier.
00:31I really haven't heard from you.
00:33You gave me the Google Doc number.
00:35No, no, no, no, no.
00:36You're using that as an excuse, and it's really corny.
00:39So we decided...
00:41That I'm not ready to love.
00:42You're not ready to love.
00:44Okay.
00:45Is our pool coming?
00:46No, it took me some time to get to the place that you wanted me to be.
00:52Oh, but now I'm ready.
00:56I'm ready to love.
01:01Let's get hype.
01:03Yeah, let's get hype.
01:04Yeah, let's get hype.
01:05Yeah, let's get hype.
01:06Let's get hype.
01:07And it can't get close when it pulls, that goes like, going.
01:09Let's get hype.
01:10Yeah, yeah.
01:11Yeah, let's get hype.
01:12Yeah, let's get hype.
01:13Yeah.
01:14Let's get hype.
01:15So quick, so cold at the top number one, like, go.
01:17All of the singles are going to Tommy's block party.
01:20This is our first time back together since the brunch,
01:24so I'm excited to see everyone.
01:25Hi, hey.
01:28Now that Ange is here, can we please
01:29walk down to the cupcakes?
01:31I'm hoping to speak with people that I didn't really
01:34catch the connection with.
01:35And of course, I'm excited to see Jay.
01:39Y'all know that's my man, my man, my man.
01:41P.S.
01:47That was a yellow brick, bro.
01:50How much is it?
01:51$20.
01:52$20?
01:52Yeah, $20.
01:55Thank you so much.
01:56How y'all ladies doing?
01:57Hey.
01:58How you doing?
01:59Good, how you doing?
02:00I see you as well.
02:03Francisco has been one of my strongest connections
02:06from the beginning.
02:07Have you ever dated a Hispanic man?
02:09Mm-mm.
02:10But I mean, like, you could talk to me.
02:11It's me and the show all night, OK?
02:13But at the block party, there's tension
02:16between me and Francisco.
02:17Hey!
02:18Hey!
02:18Toast, toast.
02:19Let's do this, right?
02:22So during our phone conversation,
02:23Francisco expressed to me that he didn't own a car.
02:27And then I was like, well, you got your own place, right?
02:29And he just was like, no, not right now.
02:33I'm in the room right now.
02:35I had a lot of questions because, like,
02:37if you're not where you need to be financially,
02:40then how can we talk about marriage?
02:43I kind of was like, I can't do this right now.
02:46Yeah.
02:47Let's pull me down here.
02:49I got mixed emotions about the block party.
02:52Yes!
02:52Let's go, sister.
02:53Let's go.
02:54I shared with Tay my current situation.
02:57I think the news shocked her a bit.
02:59And I was trying to explain to her, I've been married before.
03:02The divorce happened when I came back to Philadelphia
03:05and I was at my lowest, you know, struggling to find work
03:08and just, you know, struggling to get back on my feet.
03:11It scared her away a little bit.
03:12I don't know where we stand right now.
03:14Do y'all feel like y'all stay on matches here so far
03:16or Connection?
03:18Ah, I feel like I'm on a struggle bus,
03:21you know what I mean, a little bit.
03:23Yeah, I relate to that.
03:25What's up, what's up?
03:31What's up, what's up?
03:32Yeah!
03:34Come on, come on, make some noise.
03:37Everybody having a good time?
03:38Yes, they are.
03:39Are you having a good time?
03:41Yes!
03:42Good time, Tommy!
03:43All right, welcome to Tommy's Philly Block Party.
03:46Oh, yeah!
03:47Yes!
03:48Whoo, whoo!
03:49And guess who I got with me?
03:50Your wife!
03:51Ladies and gentlemen, my wife, Jacqueline Miles.
03:54You know what I'm saying.
03:59This is 23 years.
04:00Yeah, y'all.
04:01Did you hear what I said?
04:02Yeah!
04:03When Tommy brings his wife, Jackie, out, I'm like, oh, my God,
04:07she's so cute, she's so adorable, they look so cute together.
04:10I'm like, oh, this is so nice.
04:12I'm glad y'all having a good time already.
04:14That's what I want.
04:16But let me remind you, even though the goal is to turn up
04:20and let loose today, it is not all fun and games.
04:24Uh-oh.
04:25So men are empowered this week.
04:27Ooh.
04:28Oh, dang.
04:29Mm-hmm.
04:30Did y'all hear me?
04:31Yes.
04:32OK.
04:33Don't just post up on the block today.
04:34Make some moves, make it count.
04:36The men are empowered yet again.
04:39I can't catch a break, but you know, your girl, I've been rocking and rolling.
04:44This block party is going to make or break some connections today.
04:47Get some dancing on, have fun, see what kind of heat you can bring to this summer block party.
04:52Will y'all do it every time?
04:53Yes, sir.
04:54All right, y'all turn up.
04:55OK.
04:5623 years, Eddie.
04:5723 years, Eddie.
04:58Woo!
04:59Woo!
05:00Woo!
05:01Woo!
05:02I might have to get that one.
05:03I ain't gonna lie.
05:04I'm gonna have to get that one, I ain't gonna lie.
05:17You like that one?
05:18Yeah, I'm trying brown sugar, too.
05:19Brown sugar?
05:20Oh, no, you try it first.
05:21You're the most brownest of sugars here, so.
05:24Oh, he's just trying to, like, melt my heart.
05:27My top connections in this process is Rose with Sahara.
05:30The connection with Sahara is solid.
05:32But from the first mixer, the attraction and interest was obvious.
05:36Really good. I seen you when you walked in.
05:38You seen me? I seen you seen me.
05:41But also, I want to spend time with Rose.
05:44I think this is the perfect setting for us just to lay back, chill,
05:47and just enjoy our time together.
05:49I just love, like, aromatherapy.
05:52Actually, I want you to choose one for me, which one you want me to smoke.
05:54Okay, let me see, let me see.
05:57After I hop out the shower.
05:58I just felt like, you know, a teenager again, hanging out with his crush.
06:04It was just real, like, honestly.
06:07Oh, my goodness.
06:08Okay, it's that one.
06:09It's definitely growing into something, and I'm excited to see where it go.
06:12That's how I determine, like, what cologne I want to buy my man.
06:16Like, if I can smell it and it turn me on, I'm like, yes, because I can smell it.
06:19Tell me everything that turns you on.
06:22Yeah, I said my funk don't stop.
06:24Funk around the streets and I'm funk around the shops.
06:26Funk around the beaches, funk around the blocks.
06:28I don't care about your funk, man.
06:29Funk is on the top.
06:31Yes, so tell me more about you.
06:32I know about the baby that does not live here.
06:35Daylon in Indiana, yeah.
06:37So I have a son.
06:38His name is Daylon.
06:39He's six years old.
06:40So I'm at a point in my life where I just want to add that special woman to my family.
06:44So hopefully I can find that person and, you know, we can take it there.
06:47So you want more kids or?
06:49Do I do?
06:50I want as many kids as my ovaries can handle.
06:59All right, you ready for this phone?
07:00Yeah, let's go.
07:01All right, all right, all right.
07:01So shadow enemy, that's what it's called.
07:04Shadowed enemy, let's go.
07:05As I catch my reflection, I notice beauty is against me.
07:09Questioning eyes asks, who is she?
07:11I don't really have many connections here, so I need to just open up romantically.
07:16As I watch her entice his ego, she moistens her lips, proceeding with fellatio.
07:21I am actually a very sexual person, and I'm also interested in sexual poetry.
07:26Freshly prepared, juices flow.
07:28Seductive words whisper slow.
07:29Faster and faster.
07:31Oh, deeper and deeper.
07:33Interesting.
07:34Different strokes for different folks.
07:36Screaming his name louder and louder.
07:38Ripping the sides of my thighs.
07:40My hands guide his motions, taking me to new highs.
07:42Right.
07:44With me and Rock, even though she read me her poetry, we really didn't go too much further
07:49than surface.
07:50So as dope as a woman she may be, I don't feel like it went past the friend zone.
07:54Damn.
07:56Can we get snaps?
07:57Can we get snaps?
07:59What is your type?
08:00I like somebody that's ambitious for the most part.
08:02Somebody that's understanding.
08:04It might be you.
08:06Supportive, attentive, caring.
08:07Oh, this give me the chills.
08:12I don't see no chills.
08:13What's up?
08:14All right, let me see which one I like better.
08:16Banana coconut?
08:17If you're not going to be laid up on me smelling them, I need the Netflix chill type
08:20when you just laid on me like...
08:22You don't just have a specific one for...
08:24Yeah, Netflix and chill.
08:25All right, let me see.
08:25Let me smell how it smells on your skin.
08:29Don't smell good.
08:30All right, you probably like, babe, come here.
08:32Babe, come here.
08:33All right, you know what I mean?
08:35What's up, Cuss?
08:36My guy, Cuss, what's up with you, bro?
08:38Ain't nothing, man.
08:40I just want to rap to you, right?
08:45I'm in a dilemma, man.
08:47What's up?
08:48I felt like I opened up about my past and my current situation.
08:54To your connection with Tay.
08:56Yeah.
08:56What I disclosed, it was about my past, my financial situation, not having no car, living in the room.
09:04Like, I feel like the spark and the connection.
09:08I'm still navigating those feelings, right?
09:10But it's like, I wouldn't say ashamed, right?
09:12No, right.
09:13Embarrassed, bro.
09:14I'm 42 years old.
09:15When I got out of my relationship in Virginia, I experienced homelessness.
09:19Had to come back home.
09:21Mom, Duke's not really messing with me.
09:23How did that make you feel?
09:24My battle is like, yo, bro, like, I'm checked out.
09:30I truly have connected with this woman in a very deep level.
09:34Once she's pulling away, it's going to kind of make me just want to disappear as well.
09:38I'm checked out, bro.
09:54God has these things for us, right?
09:55No, it's all good, bro.
09:56God has these things for us, bro.
09:58Because at the end of the day, right, it's all God's plan.
10:02You're doing that work.
10:03And whoever's accepted of it, whoever's not, bro, you can only just keep walking your best walk.
10:09Putting your best foot forward every day.
10:11As far as what Tay did to Francisco, she has every right to stand on whatever she wants to stand on.
10:17But I know what it's like to be in those type of circumstances where life just is life and you never know what a person's going through.
10:23So I always like to try to be there for people, you know, especially our black men.
10:27Any woman would be lucky to have qualities in a man like that.
10:31One day you're going to be sharing your story.
10:32Your story is going to be the GPS of somebody getting their life together, bro.
10:35You understand what I'm saying?
10:36Your story is going to help somebody else get through their s***, bro.
10:39All that weight, all them plates you keep putting on the bar, that's God placing that weight on.
10:43That's God, bro.
10:44Bench that s***, bro.
10:45Bench that s***, bro.
10:47Me opening up to Naeem, it took me by surprise.
10:49Because usually I don't really open up to a lot of people like that.
10:53But he definitely lifted my spirits and was the brother that I needed at the moment.
10:58And outside looking in, if you never see me again, you bull.
11:01Why?
11:02Because it's hard for men like us to be open, vulnerable, and transparent, and still not give a s*** about being accepted.
11:08That's why we locked.
11:22Punches?
11:24Oh.
11:24Oh.
11:25Yeah, energy works.
11:31You a round-away girl, but I love round-away girl.
11:34Some guys, they intimidated by that.
11:36If you got that extra, but they just don't want to tone that s*** down.
11:39I feel like when the car, they not going to do that to you.
11:40The two people that I see coupling up, I'm kind of not happy about, is Sahara and Jay.
11:47And I'm kind of seeing them, you know, talking and she laughing a little too loud.
11:52I feel like they're going to jump ahead.
11:53You know what I mean?
11:53But, you know, I'm trying to let it be because we all here for a reason.
11:58So, I'm going to let her text forward for a little bit.
12:00Yeah, are you a jealous type?
12:02Uh-huh.
12:04No, I ain't a jealous type.
12:06I'm just, I'm just, I'm aware.
12:09That's all.
12:10I'm aware.
12:10I need to, um, let you know, that prayer you sent me?
12:20Right here.
12:21No, I'm serious.
12:22It was really right here.
12:24It takes a certain type of woman to even provide that for you.
12:27Like, you made me feel safe enough to do that, right?
12:30Because you led the way in that.
12:32I led the energy?
12:33You did, because you sent me the affirmations first.
12:36You showing me that you will actually want me to be a better person is so invaluable to me.
12:44Shanice and I, we're progressing from the pool party to today.
12:49She's giving me the focus that reassures that she feels the same way about me that I feel about her.
12:57Mm-hmm.
12:58Mm-hmm.
12:59Let's go.
13:01Let's go.
13:01You know, it kind of feels like there was a certain butterfly spark happening.
13:06You're welcome.
13:09I did enjoy the kiss with Fritz.
13:11Fanny, I don't see that coming.
13:14I really just was in the moment, and the energy was just there.
13:18But I have a connection with Francisco, and it feels like I'm cheating on him a little bit.
13:23I don't know what's going on.
13:24It's all Jesus, baby.
13:27He gave you nice eyebrows.
13:29Is the eyebrow going to speak today?
13:31Yeah, eyebrow going to speak, yes.
13:33So you want me to do this, or are you going to do this?
13:35Do what?
13:36Girl, girl.
13:38Put your phone away.
13:39I'll get your number.
13:40Oh, I'm sorry.
13:41Yeah, right.
13:42What you doing?
13:43I bag you.
13:44You don't bag me.
13:44Ooh!
13:47Tay, walk with me.
13:48Come on.
13:48Throughout the whole entire block party, I was kind of giving Tay her space, but now it's
13:54shifted.
13:54Like, I want to get what I want to say off my chest, and for you to make a well-informed
14:00decision.
14:01You told me what you said, and I respect it.
14:03I'm not mad at you at all, but I don't hide, like, who I am.
14:07That's why I love that about you.
14:08This is you.
14:09This is authentically you, and that's why I gravitated towards you, but I guess, like,
14:14I got scared.
14:16And I said, well, what does this look like for me?
14:18And I guess that's the scary part.
14:19Like, I still don't know.
14:23I hear you.
14:24When you're trying to elevate and come up in life and doing everything like that, it
14:27takes dedication.
14:28It takes focus.
14:29Like, when you think about whatever your major accomplishments was, right?
14:32Did you do it by yourself, or did you do it with someone else?
14:35I've accomplished big things in relationships, and I've accomplished things alone.
14:39Like, I'm always going to focus on trying to be better.
14:43You know what I mean?
14:43I'm always going to focus on my goals and dreams, but if I'm with someone, it sparks a
14:48fire even more, because I'm like, I definitely got to step my game up.
14:51You know what I mean?
14:52Francisco's lack of stability is concerning for me, because I was just trying to figure
14:57out where I fit into his life as it is now.
15:03You look like you're everything I want in a person.
15:05Like, you are.
15:07Yeah.
15:16So I'm leaving this conversation still having reservations about our relationship and our
15:21connection, but I'm still open to moving forward with our relationship.
15:29Oh, y'all had a date?
15:30We had a pool party.
15:31Okay.
15:31I never had that many women in my kitchen.
15:33I felt like I was living a poly lifestyle.
15:36Like, I'm joking.
15:37Do you like poly lifestyle?
15:38No, no, that's a joke.
15:39I found some things out about Fritz from Coley.
15:44I looked at your, like, Instagram, and I saw you were following hashtags about, like,
15:50poly life.
15:52Like, are you polyamorous?
15:54So, I need to talk to Fritz.
15:56Yeah, you like polygamy?
15:57Or have you ever been in a polyamorous relationship?
15:59No, no, no, no, no, no.
15:59I've never been in a poly situation.
16:00Okay.
16:00Now, I'm intrigued by it.
16:02Like, I see people that do it.
16:03So that's why you follow the hashtag.
16:04I'm not into poly, all right?
16:06I couldn't do that.
16:07That's not me.
16:08I don't like to share.
16:09I'm not a sharing type of person.
16:10My man is my man.
16:12What is mine is mine.
16:13Period, point blank.
16:14I'm not putting my lips on after some saliva somebody else had on it, okay?
16:18This is what y'all got with this.
16:20Rocky is going to tell her as it is.
16:22Like, she's going to speak her mind.
16:24And she's kind of loud.
16:25So you feel like you really are ready for one person?
16:27You are ready for love?
16:28All that poly is dead.
16:29Are you looking for somebody to go along with you in your polyamorous situations?
16:34Are you looking for a partner to join you in polygamy?
16:37I'm not going to go back and forth with you.
16:40I'm not going to tell you how to speak to me.
16:42So Rocky might not necessarily have what I'm looking for.
16:47I want you to know, like, when I first met you, like, I liked you.
16:52I felt something that I didn't feel with other people.
16:55And if you would have said, let's get out of here, I would have said, let's get out of here.
17:02When it comes to Eddie, there is just, like, that magnetism there.
17:06Oh, my God.
17:07I would like to explore that and see what happens.
17:10Wait, did you see this over here?
17:13I see you deeper than you realize.
17:15You think I got walls up?
17:17A hundred percent.
17:19I think I got my walls down.
17:20You got walls up.
17:24You are so funny, bro.
17:26I didn't like the fact that Coley and Eddie are hooked up and getting super close because, to me, that's disrespectful.
17:42You over there hung up with Coley?
17:44I'm going to kill both of y'all.
17:46I'm wondering why Coley is talking to my connection.
17:49But, you know, I'm going to let him live.
17:52I'm going to let him live for today.
17:53Give me a kiss.
17:58You scared?
18:00Turn around.
18:01No.
18:05Bull .
18:06I feel like it wasn't a proper place for it.
18:10Angie and Deonna, they probably would have been mad.
18:12I feel like, you know, me and Coley, it was just physical attraction for the most part.
18:16See you fine.
18:16You know what I mean?
18:17You know we're here with it.
18:19I got you.
18:19You know what?
18:25I need some body with you, too.
18:26I can wear that massage, bro.
18:28Massage, bro.
18:29Massage?
18:30Listen, that's a little massage.
18:32You need to take the penis off.
18:35Hey, hey, hey.
18:36Hey, Tommy.
18:37Hey, Tommy.
18:37Where's everybody at?
18:39Come on, come on.
18:40The black party is hot.
18:41Come on.
18:41Come hang out with Tommy.
18:42Ladies in the seat, guys behind the bells.
18:46I'm thinking, like, what's about to happen?
18:48What is he going to say?
18:49What is he going to do?
18:50What is he going to ask?
18:52The black party is pretty hot, but I think we can make it a little hot.
18:55I agree, Tommy.
18:56Let's go.
18:57I want to put your connections to a test with a little game.
19:01All right?
19:02This is going to help us find out how well you ladies think you know these men.
19:07Okay.
19:08All right, here we go.
19:08I'm going to read a quote that was said by one of these men.
19:12You've got to guess who said it by walking over to that man and ringing his bell.
19:21Now, first person to ring the bell that has the right man gets a point.
19:28Okay.
19:29The goal is three points.
19:31And the first two winners will go on a special one-on-one date of the brother of your choice.
19:37Oh, me?
19:39So bring all that competitive fight.
19:42All right?
19:43I definitely need to win this intimate date.
19:45So I'm trying to ring all these bells, okay?
19:47And get them right.
19:49Here we go.
19:49Here we go.
19:50This man says the craziest place he's had sex is a funeral home.
19:55Yo, I actually used to work at a funeral home.
20:16I could get a phone call one, two in the morning, don't matter where I'm at.
20:21I got to stop what I'm doing and go get that body.
20:23I was already with somebody.
20:24So when I got the phone call, I was just like, hey, ride with me.
20:27I'll go pick the body up.
20:28But we were so turned that we just took it right into the funeral home.
20:31This world traveler had sex on a crowded beach in Puerto Rico.
20:40Go get the password, bro.
20:41Where's I'm on a print?
20:42The correct answer is Cisco.
20:49Cisco.
20:50Hey, got it right.
20:52This man says he expresses love and affection through words and thoughtful gifts.
20:57Tell me who it is.
20:59The correct answer is Eddie.
21:03Eddie.
21:05This man handles stress by working out.
21:09This man's fantasy is having sex in an Uber.
21:15In an Uber?
21:16Wow.
21:17In an Uber.
21:19This man once had a woman pray to his private parts during sex.
21:24Go ahead, girl.
21:25Yes.
21:27The correct answer is Jake.
21:30What?
21:31Uber, give up.
21:32Who got Jake?
21:33So I had a woman give affirmations to my private parts.
21:36She was just talking that talk.
21:38And it just empowered me.
21:39I was just like, I became a new man.
21:41This man says his usual fetish is licking.
21:47Oh.
21:48Oh.
21:49Oh.
21:49Oh.
21:50Wait, wait, wait, wait.
21:52When it's nice and clean.
21:54Whose bell you ringing?
21:57Who's licking?
21:58The correct answer is Khalil.
22:05I'm not really sure why they caught them so off guard like that, but it definitely was
22:15funny for sure.
22:17Nobody got it right.
22:18Let's tally up real quick.
22:19Angie, Sahara, and Kira.
22:22A tie with two.
22:24But the goal is three.
22:26The pressure is on.
22:28Like, I don't want to make a mistake.
22:30I'm nervous.
22:30Like, I don't know.
22:31Here we go, ladies.
22:32Here we go.
22:33This man's idea of a perfect date is a picnic in the park.
22:38Oh, my God.
22:39Jamie got that.
22:41Damn, Angie.
22:43The correct answer is...
22:45Hussein.
22:46Hussein.
22:48Angie, you are the first winner of the game.
22:52I won.
22:53You already knew that, though.
22:55Listen up, listen up.
22:57I need one more winner, all right?
22:59All right, let's go, let's go.
23:00Let's go, Tommy.
23:00Let's do it.
23:01This man said the longest he would wait to have sex with a partner is one month.
23:07Oh, boy.
23:07Whose bell you ringing?
23:08Is that on my phone?
23:10I don't even remember that.
23:11That's so good.
23:12Whoever said that, that's so good.
23:15The correct answer is...
23:18Cam!
23:18Sahara, you got that right.
23:24You bitches.
23:27Angie, Sahara, looks like y'all run all the right bells, earned some precious one-on-one dates.
23:33Y'all earned that.
23:34I think that the game was a great icebreaker and helped us all loosen up.
23:39I know who I want to choose, so this should be interesting.
23:43All right, we learned a lot today.
23:45Yes, we did.
23:46Did y'all have fun, though?
23:46Yes.
23:47What's that, all right?
23:48Good, good, good.
23:50So, for now, I want y'all to get back to partying.
23:53I got a feeling some of these men got a little explaining to them.
24:09How you doing?
24:11I'm Sahara.
24:12Hi, Sahara.
24:13I'm here for the flip-flop.
24:14Awesome.
24:15It felt good to be one of the winners of the Ring the Bell.
24:18Because I get to pick a date with whomever I want.
24:26So, coming into this date with Fritz, I feel like at Naeem's gym, we had a little disagreement.
24:34We text, but I feel like you was giving me copied and pasted responses.
24:39Oh, don't say that.
24:39Oh, don't say that.
24:39Responses.
24:40There's a lot of miscommunication in text.
24:42No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
24:43Because it literally said the exact same thing.
24:46To me, Fritz is disingenuine.
24:49So, it's like, wrap it up.
24:51Your time is up.
24:52Hey.
24:53I started without you because the toes is towing right now.
24:56It's fine.
24:57It's fine.
24:57Give me some lift.
24:58Come here.
24:59Come here.
24:59You look nice.
25:00Not as good as you, girl.
25:01Yeah.
25:02Sahara picks me for a date, and I'm surprised.
25:07Get them things out.
25:08I can't believe I'm doing this.
25:09They look good.
25:10Oh, well, thank you.
25:12Prior to this date, I didn't think we could be friendship or relationship.
25:15But, hey, maybe she'll show me a different side.
25:18After that block party, baby, the toes.
25:21We earned this.
25:23Yeah, these things hurt.
25:25I'm ticklish.
25:29Oh, she got bubbles.
25:30Yeah, yours head went away.
25:32By the time you got here, baby, you was late.
25:34This week, Tommy's assignment was to have fun with your partner.
25:48So, I chose Hussein to go on a date and do some sound baths.
25:55It smells good in here.
25:57Okay, you ready for your sound baths?
25:59Yes.
26:00Oh, yes, we are.
26:01Oh, my God.
26:01I'm excited.
26:02Hussein has never done a sound bath before.
26:07So, that's something I really thrive off, to be able to, you know, introduce something
26:11new to a potential partner.
26:13You there?
26:14I'm here.
26:15Okay.
26:16So, you're going to hear a lot of different instruments.
26:18Just let the music penetrate, okay?
26:21Okay.
26:21For a moment, I was like, dude, am I in space?
26:38Like, I felt like I was floating.
26:39We sat there and she had the sound bath thing with the, ooh, all that going on.
27:00It was the piece that I needed, just zoning out.
27:02It was definitely necessary.
27:07Okay, so tell me more of what you're looking for.
27:11You know, I guess I'm looking for, like, a woman that got something going for herself and want
27:17to travel the world with me.
27:18Are you a one-woman man?
27:22Or is it just, is it like a one-on-one thing?
27:25Or are we...
27:26Yes, it's a one-on-one thing woman.
27:28Or I've been hearing about the fabrics of your life.
27:31Why does this keep coming up?
27:33Like, am I intrigued by the one-on-one-on-one-on-one?
27:36Yes.
27:37But I don't need it.
27:39I would never show up to my mom with polyester.
27:44It's okay if you want to be polyester, but baby, I don't wear it.
27:48I hope this thing never comes up again.
27:53Honestly, how do you feel?
27:55I feel light and free.
27:58I'm glad you came.
27:59I appreciate that.
28:00Thank you for having me.
28:01You're in my world.
28:02Glad we definitely got this time today.
28:04Oh, all right.
28:06It's really nice to, you know, have that moment of solitude, just...
28:10Yeah, because it's two of us.
28:11Yeah.
28:11Yeah.
28:12I know you was talking about the baby.
28:14I know he lives far.
28:15Yeah.
28:15So I got something for you.
28:18What you got for me?
28:19I got the same thing for my son.
28:21He can hit this on his keychain, and he knows that you're going to be there all the time.
28:27You're welcome.
28:28Let's see what we got.
28:30To my son, never forget how much I love you.
28:36Man.
28:37Where's that tissue?
28:39That's just like a big thing for me.
28:41I never want him to feel alone, and I never want him to forget.
28:45I'm always, you know, thinking about him, so thank you.
28:48You're welcome.
28:49I appreciate this.
28:50Thank you so much.
28:50I'm happy that you liked it.
28:52You know, this date with Angie was unexpected, but it definitely grew our connection.
28:56We both kind of bond over parenting, but, you know, besides that, I'm really just feeling
28:59this chemistry between me and her.
29:00Thank you so much.
29:02You're welcome.
29:03I appreciate it.
29:07What's going on as far as, you know, your connections?
29:10I'm starting to see that I can actually get something real out of this, and if that's
29:15the case, then I should take it seriously.
29:17So, I'll be honest, when this opportunity first started, the intention that some people came
29:23in with this is not what I came in with.
29:25I was playing.
29:28We came to the conclusion that you was playing.
29:30You saying, please?
29:30Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
29:31Yeah, I don't want you to think that it went unnoticed.
29:34So, you mean something you've been playing in my face this whole time?
29:37When I called you out about playing in my face this whole time, you was pretending
29:40like you wasn't playing in my face this whole time.
29:41So, right now, I'm kind of upset.
29:44We know that you were copy and pasted.
29:47We know that.
29:47I don't want to copy and pasted.
29:49No.
29:50I mean, you saying you're here now.
29:51You're not playing now, but I never was.
29:54I thought we squashed that, but she is all up in my face.
30:00I'm not going to lie.
30:00You let me down, Fritz.
30:01About nothing.
30:04All right.
30:05You got to do better, Fritz.
30:06You got to do better.
30:08I don't think a relationship can be had here.
30:11I'll text you tonight.
30:12I don't believe you, but all right.
30:14That's all up.
30:15Make me a believer.
30:17Oh.
30:37Cisco.
30:39Fritz.
30:39Hey.
30:41Brothers, brothers.
30:42My man.
30:42Going back into the vault, knowing that, well, you got to send somebody home.
30:46It's like, don't get real into these moments.
30:49What's up, y'all?
30:50What's up, baby?
30:51It's not anything personal.
30:52This is the process, and we're here for this.
30:54Gang is all here.
30:56Welcome back to the vault, gentlemen.
30:58Look like some of y'all still recovering from the black party.
31:00Super.
31:01Super.
31:02So this week's assignment was about turning up and having fun with your potential lady.
31:07Right?
31:08Right.
31:09Now that we got a little more intimate, let's talk about these blobs.
31:12Looming connections.
31:13Who are we vibing with the most?
31:15Khalil.
31:16Still vibing with Tay.
31:18Still have good conversation.
31:19We have phone time.
31:20So, yeah, that connection is definitely still strong.
31:22Tay, still with my top.
31:24I explained to her my situation, where I'm at in my life, and we had a chance to talk about it at the block party.
31:29Beautiful woman, for sure.
31:31Deanna.
31:32I've been building slowly but surely with D just as far as conversation and connecting with her character-wise.
31:37Love it.
31:38Deanna.
31:39Just saw her chemistry and she got a lot of characteristics that I would like in a woman.
31:42I mean, it's still top, Kiara.
31:44You know, I still love the swag.
31:45She got that little it factor for me.
31:47Yeah, I had a very nice date with Angie.
31:50We went to a wellness spot.
31:51She gave me a nice little gift, too.
31:52I think that was the highlight.
31:53What she gave you?
31:54A little keychain in memories for my son.
31:56For her to do that, that was top tier for me.
31:58Shani, she's saying all the right things.
32:01She's doing all the right things.
32:03And I look at her and see a lot of promise and potential.
32:06How about you, Cam?
32:07Rose and Sahara.
32:09Rose, I mean, we've been tired at the hip.
32:11She's a hard worker, and she's not going to play around about who she wants in her life.
32:16Sahara, that's my little wild card.
32:19It's your little wild card.
32:20After you break her down, it's like you just get everything.
32:24All right.
32:25Glad y'all found some ladies to turn up with.
32:27Now, time to turn somebody down.
32:30Shit.
32:31Who are you not connecting with?
32:34Y'all going to help me get Sahara out of here?
32:38Hussein.
32:39My lease would be Coley, but that's been consistent since the first day.
32:43I feel like she's given representative.
32:45I don't feel like she's given herself.
32:47Coley, her personality that she showed from the first mixer.
32:51I feel like there's no substance there.
32:53So Coley, she took it to another level.
32:56You know, coming a little closer.
32:58I had to pump the brakes.
32:59You had to pump the brakes on her.
33:00I ain't ready for all that.
33:01You know, I'm sold out.
33:02I had to say Rocky.
33:04I'm not physically attracted to her.
33:06We more like friends.
33:07Rocky.
33:08Cool sis vibes, but not an attraction for me.
33:11Gotta be Rocky.
33:12I know some of her, but it's like she ain't open up enough for me.
33:16Fritz.
33:17Sahara.
33:18We got matching foot massages.
33:20And in talking to her, she has extreme highs and extreme lows.
33:25If you say something she don't want to hear, you don't know how she's going to react.
33:28She's a loose cannon, and I don't want that.
33:31Sahara.
33:32You know, she like giving me that hood girl vibes a little bit, and like, I don't want
33:37that.
33:38Khalil.
33:39Sahara, I with her down.
33:40She just giving me like, just friend vibes, man.
33:43She gonna be so mad.
33:46The count is up.
33:48Get out of here.
33:50During the deliberation with Tommy, I could just hear Fritz's voice.
33:54Sahara, buddy.
33:55Sahara, it's gone.
33:57Bro, you know I have a connection with her.
33:59If you bold enough to come out your mouth and say something crazy about her, then I'm
34:03bold enough to come right back at you.
34:05Fritz, we gotta stop with these little ass comments that we saying, bro.
34:09You not gonna come here and say, yo, let's get Sahara off of here.
34:12Stop with the bull , bro.
34:14We're not here to feed your personal vendettas.
34:17Does anyone here feel like that I told them to put Sahara in their bottom?
34:22You were saying that the whole time.
34:24What are you talking about?
34:25I'm asking them a question.
34:26Hang on, Cam.
34:27Hang on, Cam.
34:28You can let them answer.
34:32When he's over here delivering, you over there in Jay's ear.
34:35Sahara, Sahara, Sahara.
34:36That's horny, bro.
34:37How can you pull the bull ?
34:38How can you pull that when you just said, man, I'm trying to Sahara out of here?
34:42I'm not gonna trip.
34:43This is locker room bull .
34:45Cam might have had it in for me, and this was just an opportunity to flex or something.
34:51But at the end of the day, I'm not gonna change my stance.
34:54If that's your piece, go ahead, rock out.
34:57You just said that, so now you cannot say like, oh, I'm not doing that.
35:00You just heard you say that .
35:01I just .
35:02I'm not convincing them.
35:03But you tell them you're trying to.
35:04My bottom is not changing.
35:05They're not convinced by you, but you're trying to convince them.
35:08I'm not trying to.
35:09Hang on, Cam.
35:10This is what I mean when I say you are on your own journey.
35:14Hey, bro.
35:15Everybody has to make their own decision about their own journey.
35:20So let's not come in playing games.
35:22Let's cut all the BS out.
35:24Look for what you're looking for.
35:26I think we all know that Fritz isn't here for the right reasons.
35:29We see straight through the bull immediately.
35:31And some people don't know how to operate like a man.
35:34So you get no respect from me.
35:36All right, fellas.
35:37I think we accomplished what was needed.
35:39But now the next step is on you.
35:41Right now, we got more women than men.
35:44We got to even things up.
35:46But this time, you'll be letting two ladies know that they are not ready to love you.
35:53It is a double elimination, gentlemen.
35:57I thought one was hard enough.
35:59Now we got to send two home.
36:00That was a curveball for sure.
36:02Y'all been down this road before.
36:04You know how it needs to be handled.
36:06Strong, strong.
36:07All right, now.
36:08All right.
36:09The deliberations are getting harder and harder.
36:13Because some connections are getting stronger.
36:15You know, you're generally starting to get, you know, comfortable and cool with some of these people.
36:18It's tough.
36:19A tough decision has to be made.
36:21And, you know, we just got to, you know, stand on it. That's it.
36:24We should toast to that, you know, toast as brothers, you know.
36:27Brothers.
36:28He came in here brothers on three.
36:29Let's go.
36:30Brothers on three. Ready? One, two, three.
36:31Brothers.
36:32Look at her.
36:36O.
36:37O.
36:38I like that.
36:39I like that.
36:41I like that.
36:42I like leading.
36:43So, liam.
36:44So, whoo.
36:45So this week, the men are in power.
36:46And, it's already hard enough sending one woman home.
36:49But sending two, it's like, it's a lot.
36:51So I am a little nervous going to this date with Sahara
36:54because I don't know how she's going to take the information.
36:56It's kind of like a ticking time bomb,
36:58and I'm trying not to set off.
37:04Smile for me.
37:05Why did you bring me?
37:06Smile for me.
37:07What's up?
37:09Hi.
37:10Don't come in with a mean face.
37:12I wore my funeral dress.
37:13Like, it's just, it's a death upon us.
37:17You're a funeral with your dress to see me?
37:19I mean, I didn't know I was seeing you, actually.
37:21Yeah, so you should be happy then, right?
37:23I'm hearing you fighting for me.
37:24Like, what are you fighting against?
37:26Like, what's going on in here?
37:29Somebody was, like, actively, like,
37:32trying to lobby to get you out.
37:36Whoa.
37:38Eddie.
37:39What's up, bro?
37:39How you doing?
37:41It's good to see you.
37:42Absolutely.
37:43Absolutely.
37:44I was so excited to walk in and see Eddie sitting at the table.
37:51You're welcome.
37:52Because that's still my number one match.
37:54And I just feel like this is going to be a great date.
37:59Got it.
37:59I ordered you a drink, you know?
38:01My favorite.
38:02Listen, I'll listen to you.
38:05So at the block party, I'm going to say I didn't appreciate
38:10that you tried to take it there with that kiss.
38:13But it was, like, it was a little bit much.
38:16What's going on?
38:16You rolling your eyes?
38:18It's my first block party.
38:19I ain't know the block party rules.
38:22Rocky.
38:23Hello, Jay.
38:24How are you?
38:24How are you doing, Jay?
38:26I'm good.
38:27How are you?
38:27You good?
38:28Always, always, always.
38:31When I walk into Louie Louie, I see Jay sitting there,
38:34and my face just immediately lights up.
38:37That black looking good on you.
38:38It looks nice.
38:39I try, you know?
38:40With the heels, too.
38:41I'm pretty happy about it and excited about it at the same time.
38:44But I'm also nervous, because this is the week
38:46for the female elimination.
38:48So in my head, I'm like, oh, man.
38:52So the guys and I met with Tommy, and this is what we said.
38:57So why you think the guys ain't moving?
38:59What happened?
39:00Your exterior, you give up a certain type of energy
39:04that people are intimidated by.
39:06I want to be able to be me.
39:10If that person feel like they're intimidated,
39:12then they need to man up.
39:13No 120-pound woman should make you intimidated.
39:16I don't give a damn what you're talking about.
39:18OK?
39:19That's it.
39:20So look, some of the fellas, they were saying,
39:23you know, you pretty much into yourself.
39:25It's just like, you know, you look good.
39:27So it's like, once they get to talk to you,
39:28it's like, what else is there?
39:29They feel like you got like an alter ego or something.
39:32Like, it's not really you.
39:33Really?
39:35I can only be me.
39:36Like, I can't be fake.
39:37I'm not fake.
39:38I'm not conceited.
39:40I'm open.
39:41And if I'm not for someone, I'm just not for someone.
39:43Right, right, right, right.
39:44I'm good.
39:46Your personality is A1.
39:48You know, with the other aspect, they feel as if you're so
39:51caring and you're so nice that it's hard for them to see you
39:54in a romantic light.
39:55I can see that, though.
39:56Like, those who I do want to be romantic with,
39:59I need to put more of an effort into it.
40:01Like, I need to allow myself to be affectionate with those
40:04I want to be affectionate with.
40:06So the guys decided.
40:11So the fellas have decided that the guys, they have come to their conclusion.
40:17Next time on Ready to Love, I want you to explore a guy that you consider
40:25is your second option.
40:26Does that make sense?
40:27Yeah.
40:28Rose might be a connection that I want to work on.
40:33I know you want children.
40:34If it don't happen, is that a deal breaker?
40:37You know, you could get a surrogate.
40:38Uh-uh.
40:39I don't want nobody else carrying my child.
40:42I'm so happy that you're sitting right here.
40:49Today is Francis Coles and I first date together.
40:53Woo!
40:54Hug me like you'll miss me.
40:57You guys are body painting today.
41:01I'm nervous.
41:02What are you drawing?
41:03Is it a name?
41:04Mm-hmm.
41:05With our other connections, I don't know how they would react.
41:08You were neck hit?
41:09Yes!
41:10I'm shocked to hear that.
41:12That doesn't sit well with me.
41:13Girl!
