00:07Trying to reach another level, I'm not done yet.

00:10Your boy, Tommy, is holding it down right here

00:12in the heart of the motor city, Detroit, Michigan.

00:17Detroit is known for its music, sports, and, of course, its cars.

00:24It's a big city with a small-town body,

00:26where everybody is connected.

00:28Wait, what are you doing here?

00:29Can I move back?

00:30Now, with a strong sense of history and pride,

00:35Detroit is putting a lot of love into revitalizing the city.

00:38I love it here. Detroit is lit.

00:40I'm here today to revitalize your spirit of love.

00:43These hands are made for protection as well.

00:46Okay.

00:47When looking for love, you gotta step outside of comfort zones.

00:52To find that true ride-or-die connection.

00:54Alicia, at this point, leave the experience, go get married.

00:56I mean, when you connect, you connect.

00:58Yes.

00:59That's why these 20 singles are about to hop in the driver's seat

01:01and hit the own ramp to the freeway of love.

01:04We can, like, talk about the other stuff.

01:05Talk about everything.

01:06Yeah, I talk about all this stuff.

01:07They'll have to navigate all the twists and turns, detours,

01:10and speed bumps along the way.

01:12You and I don't know each other.

01:13Listen to my question.

01:14I don't want it.

01:16I'm not doing this.

01:17Until we reach our destination and only our final couples remain.

01:21I wasn't into sucking toes, but I seen yours.

01:23They suckable?

01:24Maybe.

01:26So buckle up.

01:27It's time to find out which of these singles are truly ready to love.

01:34I know it took me some time to get to the place that you wanted me to be.

01:41But now I'm ready.

01:43I'm ready to love.

01:48Set the stage, the battle starts now.

01:51Looking forward to number one, came back down.

01:53I wish you made to be on top, you understand?

01:56If you think you can beat me, stop.

01:58I'm a bitch, cause I was born away.

02:01Lord be a bitch.

02:02Let these men be taller than me.

02:04Of course, I was the first person, but why not be the first?

02:07If you ain't first, you're last, Ricky Bobby.

02:12This is nice.

02:13I love it.

02:14It's really cute, isn't it?

02:15It felt like Detroit.

02:16It felt old school.

02:17The ancestors was talking to me like, yeah, girl, get your man.

02:20All I want is to set you free.

02:23See how beautiful you all can be.

02:26Oh.

02:27How you doing?

02:28Hey.

02:29Bello.

02:30Dominique.

02:31Nice to meet you.

02:32I was pleasantly surprised when I walked in.

02:33Dominique is definitely my type.

02:35So what do you do for a living?

02:36Real estate developer?

02:37How about you?

02:38I'm a celebrity stylist.

02:39Really?

02:40Okay.

02:41The Bello family name is synonymous with excellence.

02:43I run multiple businesses.

02:44I'm successful.

02:45I can sit down with politicians, athletes, and foster strong relationships

02:49and make it happen.

02:50You look excellent.

02:52That was the mission.

02:53Yeah.

02:54Look, look, stylish.

02:57Check me out.

02:58I'm the main dish.

02:59Hi.

03:00Hi.

03:01How you doing?

03:02What's your name?

03:03Emily, what's yours?

03:04Emily, Bello.

03:05Oh, nice to meet you.

03:06Nice to meet you too.

03:07I'm a little flamboyant.

03:08I like to dress.

03:09I like to wear my diamonds.

03:10What's your passion?

03:11What are you into?

03:12I work with high school students and I also am a seamstress for the Detroit Pistons of Dancers.

03:14Oh.

03:15I need someone that wants to have a good time.

03:17Someone who's not waiting around until he has ED and then they're looking for a hospice

03:22wife.

03:23I'm sorry.

03:24I'm sorry, but it's true.

03:26Well, let's have a toast.

03:27It's in the beginnings.

03:28New beginnings.

03:29Absolutely.

03:30I like your glasses.

03:31Nice.

03:32I'm trying to match you.

03:33I'm trying to match you.

03:34That was the whole goal.

03:35You know, dating Detroit is fun.

03:36It's a lot of things that we can do here.

03:37I go by the beat of my own drum.

03:38Like, I'm definitely random.

03:39What do you do for a living?

03:40I'm a teacher, mainly seventh grade.

03:41So you're the cool-ass teacher.

03:42You actually the fine teacher.

03:43You look fine too.

03:44Definitely.

03:45Got a little art museum.

03:47I wear vintage clothing.

03:48I love doing things that just pique my curiosity.

03:50What does this represent?

03:51This is actually my mom.

03:52She passed away, so I had her face etched on the ring.

03:54I love that.

03:55So I wear this like every day.

03:56I was very close with my parents.

03:57Growing up, I remember reading books with my mom.

03:58I spent time with my father.

03:59And I was like, I'm a kid.

04:00I'm a kid.

04:01I'm a kid.

04:02I'm a kid.

04:03I'm a kid.

04:04I'm a kid.

04:05I'm a kid.

04:06I'm a kid.

04:07I'm a kid.

04:08I'm a kid.

04:09I'm a kid.

04:10I'm a kid.

04:11I'm a kid.

04:12I'm a kid.

04:13I'm a kid.

04:14I'm a kid.

04:15I'm a kid with my mom.

04:16I spent time with my father in sports.

04:18And I think because I've waited so long, I will be excited to spend time with my kids

04:22and do a little fun, cool stuff with them.

04:24I think we need to like hold hands over here and say, there we go.

04:27Like, look at how we got it going.

04:28Oh, don't you play no games.

04:30Work on a holiday.

04:32All the potential pay.

04:34Like, there ain't nothing in your way.

04:36Go get on.

04:37I'm Ina.

04:38Ina Lee.

04:39Ina Devon.

04:40Nice to meet you.

04:41How you guys doing?

04:42I'm doing well.

04:43My name is Christina Fleur de Lee Pozon.

04:45And people call me Ina Lee.

04:46I am a singer songwriter.

04:48The career that I am in often has me around a lot of celebrities or very influential people.

04:54And Detroit men are very territorial.

04:56This is my being.

04:57So maybe I don't need a man.

04:59Maybe I need a manager.

05:00I don't know.

05:01I love this.

05:02I love this.

05:03The little details.

05:04What?

05:05You.

05:06Oh.

05:07You said you're an artist, right?

05:08Music.

05:09I'm a project manager.

05:10My degree is in music though.

05:11Keyboard and piano.

05:12Oh, really?

05:13Oh, man.

05:14I play by ear.

05:15Going through the mixer.

05:16I'm feeling fly.

05:17Well, I always think I look fly.

05:18So maybe I'm a little biased, but.

05:20We're working on a Motown country album.

05:22It all comes from blues.

05:23Blues is like, you know.

05:24Yes.

05:25I work at a prestigious place.

05:26I'm a writer.

05:27So honestly, I wasn't intimidated to talk to any of the ladies.

05:30Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

05:31Yeah, we on the same page.

05:32You know, that's what's up.

05:33So how tall are you?

05:40I am 6'2".

05:41So how do you feel about a woman, especially when I wear my heels?

05:44That is slightly, you can be taller than me.

05:46You're beautiful.

05:47As a six foot tall woman who had three really large children, I just need to know what I'm

05:52getting into.

05:53If it's not big enough, then what am I going to do?

05:55Spin around for me real quick so I get a good look.

05:56Spin around real quick.

05:57Very nice.

05:58I would prefer to Escalade, maybe a Tahoe, no sedans.

06:03Hello.

06:04Hi, Ashley.

06:05Nice to meet you.

06:06Hey, how you doing, Darius?

06:07Nice to meet you as well.

06:08When I walked in that mixer and turned to my right, I was just like, yep, Darius had

06:12it all the way well put together.

06:13So Ashley, tell us more about you.

06:15I have my own gym.

06:16So now I do just my own practice of body sculpting.

06:19That's phenomenal.

06:20You know, I actually have an exotic car rental business.

06:22Oh.

06:23I'm a fashion designer too.

06:24I see.

06:25You know, I can come off as a bit of a flashy guy.

06:27I'm officially known as the king.

06:29I'm pretty notorious in this business game out here.

06:32And I just like to take my throne.

06:33I'm not changing up for nobody.

06:35I have a banquet hall as well, so.

06:36Mm.

06:37So like for weddings?

06:38Yeah, weddings, bridal showers, whatever.

06:39Why'd you point to me when you said bridal showers?

06:41Bridal showers, good.

06:42I don't know.

06:45D-Troy!

06:46What up, though?

06:47Hey!

06:48Come on, come on.

06:49Gather round, gather round.

06:51Hello.

06:52Hello, how are you doing?

06:53Amazing.

06:54Pleasure, pleasure, my man.

06:55I was in a room.

06:56He had so much big energy.

06:57Y'all fly up in here, man.

06:58Yeah.

06:59This is the mode of city.

07:00We gonna pull out them things on you, okay?

07:03He came prepared.

07:04Detroit, what up, y'all?

07:05Woo!

07:06Woo!

07:07Woo!

07:08Woo!

07:09Woo!

07:10Woo!

07:11Woo!

07:12Woo!

07:13Woo!

07:14Woo!

07:15Woo!

07:16Woo!

07:17Woo!

07:18Woo!

07:19Woo!

07:20Ready to Love has made endless connections

07:22in cities across the South and on the East Coast.

07:26But it was only fitting that we make Detroit

07:29our first city in the Midwest.

07:34Because y'all know a thing or two about love.

07:36Yes.

07:37Come on now.

07:38Motown is a city that told us you can't hurry, love.

07:41I was made to love her.

07:43And ain't no mountain high, no.

07:45All right.

07:46And it also told us when love is on the line.

07:49You can't be too proud to be.

07:52Uh-oh, uh-oh.

07:53You see that?

07:54You see that?

07:56All right.

07:57Recently, we've been kicking things off in cities

07:59with just 10 singles.

08:01But for my Detroiters, we're going old school.

08:04And that means all 20 of you are here today

08:07to begin this journey together.

08:09All right?

08:10Yeah.

08:11Honestly, I thought you might like just, you know,

08:13a little more eye candy to get your engines started.

08:16Okay?

08:17Keep in mind, throughout today's mixer,

08:19you will get the opportunity to show these potentials

08:21what you're made of.

08:22But if they don't like what you're coming with,

08:24your fate could be signed, sealed, delivered to the exit.

08:29Damn.

08:30Okay.

08:31That's right.

08:32Some of y'all going home early tonight.

08:35Ooh.

08:36All right.

08:37Yeah.

08:38I was shaking in my heels.

08:39But I mean, it's necessary.

08:40If you don't be yourself and land the first impression

08:42on the guys or the girls, you have to go home.

08:44Use this as just motivation.

08:46Oh, yeah.

08:47To put yourselves out there.

08:48Be more open, be more vulnerable

08:50than you have ever been before.

08:52Mm-hmm.

08:53All right?

08:54Get to me.

08:55Check back in on y'all later.

08:56Let's go.

08:57All right.

08:59I was scared.

09:00I was like, damn, this is fast.

09:01Like, what's happening here?

09:02I'm here to make long-lasting connections.

09:04I don't want to go home.

09:05This is pressure.

09:06It is.

09:15I love the tassels.

09:17Got to shimmy a little bit.

09:18Yeah, yeah.

09:19It's very cute.

09:20I'm just happy to see a familiar face.

09:21Like, walking into this, I felt so nervous.

09:23Don't be.

09:24And I like this.

09:25You look nice.

09:26I think Detroit's like a small town.

09:27You're going to see some familiar faces.

09:29I love this color coordination.

09:31So, Ed and I went to college together.

09:33I had the biggest crush on the planet.

09:35I moved back, like, maybe.

09:36We never talked.

09:37I know.

09:38I know.

09:39I know.

09:40It's been a while.

09:41But I remember I didn't feel like I would be his type

09:43because I was a good girl.

09:44I'm still a good girl.

09:45So, I am excited to figure out how my journey with Ed

09:49is going to go.

09:50We have never really had a conversation, I don't think.

09:52We've had conversations.

09:53About what?

09:54It's been 10 years.

09:55That's stupid .

09:56I mean, we were kids.

09:57Like, I feel like I need to re-

09:58Get to know who you are.

09:59Okay.

10:00Okay.

10:01So, what brought you back to Michigan?

10:03Um, my family.

10:04Okay.

10:05So, you know, I've always maintained a relationship with the city.

10:08Okay.

10:09Coming back and forth, business and stuff.

10:10So, I was like, why not?

10:12Yeah.

10:13Growing up in the inner city of Detroit on the east side,

10:15I faced a lot of hardship.

10:16I mean, we were poor.

10:18My dad was in and out.

10:20Gangs, drugs, violence was around.

10:22But through a prayer of my mother, I was able to navigate that.

10:25It made me the person that I am today.

10:27I mean, the east side produced quality.

10:29I mean, if you don't like quality, go to the west side.

10:32I want to get to know you as you and not like-

10:35The new Ed.

10:36The new Ed, not the we in college turning up Ed.

10:39Your name?

10:40Lauren.

10:41Lauren Vince.

10:42Good to meet you.

10:43Lauren is extremely beautiful.

10:45You know, she got the little bit of the chest showing.

10:47All that is working.

10:48I have three boys.

10:49Thankfully, I've been single, so I missed that next five-year mark.

10:52Okay, good job.

10:53I mean, when you're here, I don't know if that's gonna be a five.

10:56Yeah, exactly.

10:57When it comes to dating, I allow people to be who they are

11:00because I want to be who I am.

11:02I leave, you know, with lightheartedness and my comedy.

11:05But every opportunity I have to be myself, it moves the needle forward.

11:09So, going into this mixer, I don't want to lie to you.

11:12I am confident.

11:13What do you do for fun?

11:15Going to the gym or usually doing something fun.

11:17Like that?

11:18With my children.

11:19Your abs?

11:20Four. Let's just do it.

11:21Four.

11:22Four abs.

11:23It's hard to get those last two abs.

11:24Oh, yeah.

11:25Vince is giving Chris Rock.

11:27It's funny.

11:28It's that familiar, like, down-to-earth cool vibe.

11:31So, in case of a zombie apocalypse, you'll be able to take care of the family.

11:34Help us run, ride bikes.

11:35Well, I can run.

11:38What's that?

11:39Nothing.

11:40What are you doing?

11:41I love your hair.

11:43What do you do for work?

11:44I'm a project manager at the University of Michigan.

11:46Okay.

11:47Yeah.

11:48So, what do you do?

11:49I do non-invasive body sculpting.

11:50So, yeah, I love serving my girls.

11:52I love making women pretty.

11:53It's just, I love it.

11:54Yeah.

11:55Somebody that caught my eye was definitely Ashley.

11:57Any kids?

11:58No kids.

11:59No kids.

12:00I do.

12:01One or three?

12:02One or three.

12:03She was just warm.

12:04She looked, you know, welcoming.

12:06And so, I sat down with her to get to know each other.

12:08So, you say you have no kids, but you want kids?

12:10I do.

12:11Ideally, two.

12:12Okay.

12:13So, you're not going over that, basically?

12:14No, I would go over that.

12:15Oh.

12:16I mean, I feel like you should have as many kids as you can afford.

12:19And I feel like I can afford, too.

12:20I love that.

12:21I love that.

12:22I'm definitely not afraid to say it.

12:23You have to have money to date me.

12:25You have to have that cash.

12:27I think the man would like my jolly personality.

12:30I'm fun, funny.

12:31I have a cool, calm spirit.

12:33And also, just cute to look at.

12:35At 38, it's kind of like, you're getting to the age where a lot of the women I date have

12:41kids or, you know, don't want kids.

12:43Mm-hmm.

12:44So, it's a little tough.

12:45Yeah.

12:46So, I have a little Yorkie.

12:47Do you like animals?

12:48I like animals.

12:49Mm-hmm.

12:50But I have, like, strict rules about animals.

12:52Okay.

12:53Can't sleep in the bed.

12:54I'm actually kind of allergic to dog hair.

12:55Okay.

12:56Which is fine.

12:57Actually, I've lived with dogs before.

12:58Just like a sneeze or like an eye run?

12:59Yeah.

13:00Yeah.

13:01The bond is just...

13:03The mannerisms.

13:04A Japanese taquito.

13:06They're, like, just poofy.

13:08You know, after hearing Ashley's perspectives and desires, it's really compatible with my own.

13:13And don't get me wrong, I've always wanted one.

13:15I've always wanted one.

13:16They're also super smart.

13:17They can be kind of aggressive, though, too, so...

13:20Mm.

13:21It's a really good conversation.

13:22You know, you have to train it well.

13:23Yeah.

13:24Yeah.

13:25Yeah, that's good.

13:26That's good.

13:27Yeah.

13:28I like more of a masculine man.

13:29So, Devon, absolutely no.

13:30Make my rounds.

13:31Let's move around.

13:32Let's...

13:33I'm gonna go down, talk to some people.

13:35We can do that.

13:36Yeah, yeah, yeah.

13:37Yeah.

13:38Shanti, I'm a hugger man.

13:40Me too.

13:41And I didn't know if people was comfortable with that.

13:43How old are you?

13:44I'm 36.

13:45Jeez.

13:46Young.

13:47I didn't even ask age.

13:48How old are you?

13:49I didn't either.

13:50Young, oh my goodness.

13:51Really?

13:52I'm in Cougar Town over here.

13:53Me too.

13:54But I think I like it.

13:55I like it.

13:56Hello.

13:57Hi.

13:58Ladies, how you doing?

13:59Good.

14:00All right, I'm Darius.

14:01Y'all looking lovely tonight.

14:03I appreciate it.

14:04Yeah.

14:05Best first impression was Darius.

14:06The man was just sparkling from head to toe.

14:09Do you have any children?

14:10Two grown adults.

14:11I'm actually 40.

14:12No, you're not.

14:13Yes.

14:14You don't look a day over 30?

14:15The jewels, the buffs, everything about him is very upper echelon, like dapper.

14:19Beautiful smile.

14:21You got sapphire eyes too.

14:22What does that mean?

14:23Sapphire.

14:24Illuminating.

14:25Illuminating.

14:26It's fly as hell.

14:27He just don't care.

14:28Unapologetic.

14:29And I love that.

14:30All right.

14:31I'm Darius.

14:32Darius, nice to meet you.

14:33Nice to meet you as well.

14:34Shantae, I see you not playing.

14:35You look nice too.

14:36Oh, thank you baby.

14:37When I saw Shantae, man, her whole vibe, it just folk beauty.

14:42Oh, you like to hold hands?

14:44Oh, we dancing already?

14:45So I'm like, here's my shot.

14:46So what do you do?

14:47I have a salon suites.

14:48Okay.

14:49And also a private vegan chef.

14:51Wow.

14:52So you're an entrepreneur.

14:53Yes.

14:54I love it.

14:55And be like, oh, you're so kind.

14:56You're so nurturing.

14:57You're so smart.

14:58You're so pretty.

14:59What's the catch?

15:00It's this tongue.

15:01It's sharp.

15:02I can be a sugar lump.

15:04But if my feelings are hurt, I could also be a jalapeno pepper.

15:08Tell me more about yourself.

15:10Um, I am a mother.

15:12Okay.

15:13I like to travel.

15:14So like if I get out, I like to be like out of town.

15:16Love to travel.

15:17I was raised partially in Europe.

15:18Oh, okay.

15:19In Germany.

15:20So what's your favorite place?

15:21Probably Miami.

15:22Miami.

15:23Yeah.

15:24I like to travel for me to eat down there.

15:25Yes.

15:26Yes.

15:27Because I don't eat meat or dairy.

15:28So it's like, when I go out of town, I want to be able to eat good.

15:29Yeah.

15:30And Miami is one of those places where I can eat good.

15:32But like, I love Detroit.

15:33I mean, we got the island.

15:34We got the casinos.

15:35Everything.

15:36Water sports, winter sports.

15:37Yeah.

15:38Like, I love it here.

15:39Dairy has left a really good first impression because we definitely had a lot of things in

15:43common.

15:44I said, you're branded.

15:45You're branded here.

15:46I love to travel.

15:47That's my favorite hobby.

15:48So I'm like, okay, that's a plus.

15:49Finding love and business.

15:51All right.

15:52Hey, how are you?

15:53My name is Richie.

15:54Emily.

15:55Emily?

15:56Yeah.

15:57You are cute, Emily.

15:59I'm feeling confident because I brought my swag together, you know?

16:01And it's very rare where I can meet a room full of women where I want to at least

16:04have some connection with one.

16:05You know what I'm saying?

16:06Nice outfit.

16:07Love the shoes.

16:09Our colors.

16:10We're close.

16:11Sometimes women bring me in a room just to be the cute guy to be there.

16:15So I'm really, really not worried about the fellas, like, us going back and forth or

16:18anything like that.

16:19Well, so what do you do for thrills?

16:20So I love to go skating.

16:22Skating is dope.

16:23I've been to, you know, of course, Northland skating rink and everywhere else.

16:26So this is a playboy bunny?

16:27Yes, ma'am, it is.

16:28Yes.

16:29So are you a playboy?

16:30Uh, I probably was once upon a time.

16:33Mmm.

16:34But this is actually not for me.

16:35You know, my little brother, we call him a playboy, so.

16:37A playboy tattoo means you're a playboy.

16:40Not necessarily.

16:41No?

16:42Not necessarily.

16:43Like, I could be a good, I could be a teddy bear, you know?

16:45He said that the playboy was a nickname for his brother.

16:48Wasn't really buying that story.

16:50I'm not saying you're doing this, but people judge me off how I look.

16:53It's on your hands.

16:54Mm-hmm.

16:55He gave a kind of red flag, wild child, and that's not something that I'm interested in.

17:00I love motorcycles.

17:01Oh, you do?

17:02Do you ride motorcycles?

17:03I do not.

17:04I will not get on a bike.

17:05Roller coasters, motorcycles, I don't do anything that's like that.

17:07I just believe in living life to the fullest.

17:09You can't stay in your comfort zone and living.

17:11But I just don't like the adrenaline rush.

17:13I don't like feeling like that.

17:14I wouldn't get on with.

17:15Emily is bonkers.

17:17Live a little bit, you know?

17:18You're going to jump out of plane.

17:20You would be a skydiver, right?

17:21You do tattoos.

17:22I can make you do things that you probably normally wouldn't do.

17:24Absolutely not.

17:25Okay.

17:26It's just something about this is how it is, and I don't like this.

17:29Like, I kind of want to get up, but you know.

17:31So what's your sign?

17:32Sagittarius.

17:33I said Sagittarius.

17:34Mmm.

17:35I can...

17:36I can kind of feel that.

17:40Let's go.

17:42Come on, let's go the same night.

17:44Let's go.

17:45Come on, let's go the same night.

17:46Let's go.

17:47Come on.

17:48Don't be ladies.

17:49See?

17:50Oh.

17:51You got it.

17:52Twins are 25, and my youngest is 21.

17:54How are your children older than you?

17:55You see, don't be men as...

17:56Let them pray.

17:57Clearly.

17:59I like that.

18:00Hi, I'm Donna.

18:01Donna, I'm Vince.

18:02Nice to meet you, Vince.

18:03Me too, Donna.

18:04Donna, you have some extreme eye contact.

18:08What?

18:09After seeing everyone, Donna caught my eye.

18:12What do you do for work?

18:13I'm a mathematician.

18:15Yeah.

18:16I...

18:17You're the first mathematician that I've met.

18:19What?

18:20A math...

18:22I can barely do algebra.

18:24But Donna was a very refreshing person to see and to talk to.

18:29Yeah, in my 30s, I was like, let me just go back to school, so...

18:32You were already a mathematician and you went back to school.

18:34I'm almost done, but I'm still in school.

18:36Continue.

18:37Data and statistics...

18:40It's just a way that I see the world, and that includes romantic relationships.

18:45How organized and analytical I am, they get found out.

18:50So, what do you feel has landed you here and not in a relationship?

18:56Yeah.

18:57It's the reason.

18:58Ooh, the eye roll.

18:59That's an eye roll.

19:00I'm with you.

19:01I'm with you.

19:02In my 20s, it was staying in the wrong relationships too long, right?

19:06Okay.

19:07You're just trying to make it work, and really, it's just not the right person at the right time.

19:10Were you a mathematician in your 20s?

19:12Yes.

19:13So, you should have known better.

19:15In my 30s, I was like, you know what?

19:17Let me get myself together.

19:19Heal and grow, and finally, I was like, okay, I'm ready.

19:22Do you have children?

19:23I don't.

19:24In the things that you stayed in too long, you didn't want to make that step.

19:27I was foolish, but I wasn't crazy.

19:29There it is.

19:30There it is.

19:31I really enjoy talking to Vince.

19:32I like how optimistic he sounds, how many questions he's asking getting to know me,

19:36and the numbers adding up.

19:38I'm a mathematician, y'all.

19:39I know.

19:41That's all I was trying to do is make sense of you being here as a mathematician.

19:45I appreciate that.

19:52I made you look, I made you, I made you, I made you, I made you look.

19:56Hi.

19:57Hello, how you doing?

19:58Good, I'm coming in.

19:59I like the fringes on your dress.

20:00Well, thank you.

20:01I try, I try.

20:02Yeah, I see you.

20:03I'm Cardi.

20:04Cardi, he's looking good.

20:05Pretty smile, nice build.

20:06Cardi is definitely somebody that I felt excited to be in the room with.

20:09My brother's name is Diamond.

20:10I got a sister named Ruby.

20:11I got a sister named Jade.

20:12I love that so much.

20:13Oh my God.

20:14Yeah.

20:15What I offer to women in Dayton is a one-of-a-kind experience.

20:17I don't feel that there's anybody like me, but there's a lot of charisma.

20:20I want to bring the best out of my person.

20:22It's the Cardi experience.

20:23Like, you have to experience it for yourself to really know.

20:26What's the kind of work you do?

20:27I'm an insurance broker.

20:28That's cool.

20:29What about you?

20:30I love dating.

20:31Okay.

20:32You enjoy it?

20:33I do.

20:34Dating in Detroit is interesting.

20:35I've been told I'm on the do not date list.

20:37Did you go to the barrister's ball?

20:38I have not been to a barrister's ball.

20:40You've never been?

20:41Maybe we should make that a future something.

20:43I know how to go to court and take their stuff from them.

20:46Or, oh, you have money, so we can go 50-50, which, no.

20:50Right?

20:51So it's just all these preconceived notions.

20:53I want to find somebody that's ready to build and start.

20:56Right.

20:57Well, cheers to you finding that.

20:58You know, all of us finding it.

20:59Cheers to you finding it, too.

21:00Yeah.

21:01Exactly.

21:02Hi.

21:03Is she, like, Hollywood glam?

21:04Oh, my God.

21:05You're so kind.

21:06You're so gorgeous.

21:07This bodycon is giving all the life.

21:08Yeah, so are you, girl.

21:09I'm feeling like a million dollars.

21:10We got some thigh action.

21:12My shoulder's showing.

21:13My hair is glistening.

21:15So you're a nurse?

21:16I am a registered nurse.

21:17Gotcha.

21:18I did nurse midwifery and primary care peds and pee.

21:21Wow.

21:22I am definitely single because I focus a lot on my career.

21:26I've done, like, over 14 years of school for five different degrees.

21:30But a lot of men don't like having a go-getter, I feel like.

21:33Taking care of the babies.

21:34I love school.

21:35Yeah, taking care of, like, people who give birth, their children, all of that.

21:40Me and Shannon Vi, she's not afraid to embrace her quirkiness, and I really like that.

21:45I moved here to go to grad school in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

21:48Oh, I work at Michigan.

21:49You work at University of Michigan?

21:50Yeah.

21:51Oh, my God.

21:52Okay.

21:54Would you like some fruit?

21:55Yeah, absolutely.

21:56Yeah.

21:57For fun and love.

21:58Cheers.

21:59Cheers.

22:00Tell me about yourself.

22:01I'm a tattoo artist.

22:03I started doing them when I was 15.

22:04I love that you're doing something that you love, so.

22:07That's great.

22:08Come on.

22:09What y'all talking about?

22:10Working out and fitness.

22:11Everything?

22:12Yeah.

22:13I don't work out.

22:14Well, you look good.

22:15That's a mixer.

22:16The only familiar face was Dominique.

22:18She said she didn't work out?

22:19No, I don't.

22:20At all?

22:21No.

22:22She's well-known in Detroit and fashion.

22:23I always see her at events, so it was actually exciting to see that she was there.

22:27I love your tattoo.

22:29Yeah.

22:30It's names inside of that.

22:31It's the children.

22:32What?

22:33No?

22:34It's a cover-up.

22:35So it's a guy?

22:36Yeah.

22:37Were you married to the guy?

22:38No.

22:39My ex-boyfriend.

22:40Antonio...

22:42So, okay.

22:43I did it twice.

22:44My ex-husband, Bishon Leonard, you know him?

22:46You can't not know those guys.

22:47Yeah.

22:48I tend to meet mostly athletes, and when Vince was questioning my tattoo, it was a little

22:53uncomfortable.

22:54How long ago have you been out of this, Dominique?

22:56Um, about 18 months.

22:5918 months.

23:00I'm gonna call that fresh.

23:02Okay.

23:03I try not to talk about my past, because it was kind of heartbreaking.

23:07But now I gotta have a whole conversation about all my exes that's famous.

23:11Bro, I'm right here.

23:13Like, come on.

23:14But listen, listen, so you know I can see that, though.

23:17I didn't know.

23:18Do you think they see it and don't say anything?

23:19It's possible.

23:20How do you feel about that?

23:22I'm over it.

23:23From the energy that I got from Dominique, I think she took offense.

23:27I'll have to keep it.

23:28Period.

23:29Give me a shot.

23:31These are legends in the city.

23:33If that's what you're looking for, it just made me feel like, I don't think I have anything

23:36for you.

23:37Where's the other one covered up at?

23:39Just for conversation.

23:40Or not?

23:41Your eye roll.

23:42Your eye roll.

23:43Don't worry.

23:44You won't see it.

23:45Oh, ouch.

23:46Don't worry.

23:47Don't worry.

23:48Don't worry.

23:49Don't worry.

23:50Don't worry.

23:51Don't worry.

23:52Don't worry.

23:53Want to grab something?

23:54Yeah, that's it.

23:56I like the velvet shoes.

23:57I love your velvet shoes.

24:00We were thinking alike.

24:01I see.

24:02You love music, obviously, and art.

24:04So who's your favorite artist, whatever?

24:05Me.

24:06And Whitney Houston.

24:07And Whitney Houston.

24:08There we go.

24:09Well, speaking of music, I was going to say you should incorporate music into the history

24:12because that will create something in your children to make them want to learn.

24:16I do like songs, actually.

24:18I've had kids make sculptures, all that stuff.

24:21Chatting with Steven.

24:22I think he's really cool.

24:23He's very humble, and he's in a position to really impact our next generation.

24:28What's one of the things you like to do in the city when you get out?

24:31Most places I go, my friends probably own the bar or something.

24:33Okay.

24:34Maybe I'll go to concerts and make sure I'm like VIP on stage or backstage.

24:37You know?

24:38Because it's hard for me to just go to a concert and just be in general population.

24:41Christina, she has a huge personality, trying to be at the club or like all the events.

24:46When God gave you a favor that looks like this, everybody's not like used to this level of pretty.

24:50But I kind of want to like just kind of chill.

24:52You know, you could walk in the city on a nice far day.

24:55That's more my speed right now in life.

24:57I was supposed to go to Vegas.

24:58My birthday was on Friday.

25:00So there's just a lot of stuff going on.

25:01You might have a lot going on later.

25:02All the time.

25:03You might have a lot going on.

25:04Chris.

25:05Chris?

25:06What's your name?

25:07Emily.

25:08Nice to meet you.

25:09I love this color.

25:11Chris looks great.

25:12I love the pink.

25:13Great smile.

25:14So I wanted to get to know him a little bit better.

25:15Tell me a little about the chef.

25:16So I teach school, 9 through 12.

25:17Okay.

25:18School teacher.

25:19I used to be a high school culinary instructor.

25:21I started the culinary arts program at Harper Woods High School.

25:24Right.

25:25My name is Christopher McClendon.

25:26Everybody knows me as Chef Chris.

25:27I'm a chef.

25:28I've been a chef over 10 years.

25:29I've opened up a bunch of restaurants downtown.

25:30Got a James Beard nomination.

25:31And I'm still opening successful restaurants right now today.

25:34Early on in my career, it was a lot of long nights, early mornings trying to establish

25:39myself as a culinarian.

25:40Thankfully, I'm in a place in my career now to where I'm able to tailor my work schedule

25:44around my family and be impactful in my home first and foremost.

25:49What brings you a part of this experience?

25:51I wasn't allowing myself to really meet people because I was so immersed in working, working,

25:56working.

25:57When I'm not teaching, I'm sewing.

25:58People that are able to make clothes I think is so cool.

26:02Yeah, but it's not always that easy.

26:04So I've kind of scaled back on doing as much working.

26:06Good.

26:07And because I've been on my own trying to date people, it hasn't worked.

26:09I'm like, let me just try the process and see what happens, you know?

26:11Okay.

26:12I just want it to be a situation to where I don't feel forced because I've been married

26:15previously.

26:16So I'm very excited about this process.

26:18Me too.

26:19I am also.

26:20Lauren.

26:21Lauren?

26:22Yeah.

26:23Xavier.

26:24So what do you do?

26:25I'm an account executive.

26:26I'm in sales.

26:27You like the, uh...

26:28I'm a realtor.

26:29I like them a lot.

26:30Okay.

26:31My name is Xavier, and I've lived in Detroit 43 years.

26:32Born and raised.

26:33You know, what up, though?

26:34I'm ready to love because I've spent most of my life building, making sure the people around

26:38me are taken care of.

26:39And I feel like now it's me time.

26:41I know who I am, and I want to pair that with a woman who knows who she is.

26:44You look nice.

26:45Well put together.

26:46You want a dress?

26:47I appreciate it.

26:48I try.

26:49I try.

26:50I appreciate it.

26:51You do a little spin around?

26:52For you?

26:53Yeah, just for me.

26:54Nobody else at all.

26:55You got to earn it.

26:56Oh, no, you didn't.

26:57I bet you want that spin.

26:58I'm teasing.

26:59I prefer a sense of humor that can kind of vibe with me, right?

27:02And it's like, you can't even do that.

27:05Oh, you got to take a drink?

27:06So that means I said the right thing.

27:07Yeah, yeah, yeah.

27:08Xavier is just not what I would go for.

27:11Xavier was so just like, no.

27:13You know, it just let me know a lot about his personality.

27:16You have a problem wiping my hair?

27:17No, that's great.

27:18Yeah, wipe your hair.

27:19I appreciate it.

27:20Yeah.

27:21Are your shoes comfortable?

27:23Zero to ten, they're like a seven.

27:25Oh, that's not bad.

27:26Shannon, she looks great, how her hair was, her shoes.

27:29She holds herself a certain way.

27:30You enjoying yourself?

27:31I am.

27:32It's a good vibe.

27:33It's cool.

27:34You know, it's um...

27:36I don't know.

27:37It's like, I've never been in this place, nor did I know that it existed.

27:40Me either.

27:41You know?

27:42I am nervous.

27:43People are going home today.

27:45So, I'm trying to put my best foot forward.

27:47I ended up, like, sweating my hair out.

27:49Like, it was all type of stuff.

27:50It's so cut off the beaten path.

27:52I think it was a great selection.

27:53Yeah.

27:54You know?

27:55So, you know, that's cool.

27:56Um...

27:59Do you...

28:04When I was talking to Cardi, it was just very awkward and like I was pulling teeth.

28:08So, do you skate?

28:09Kind of, I guess.

28:10Cool.

28:11Yeah.

28:12When's the last time you skated?

28:13Probably last fall.

28:15I don't know if Cardi is like nervous.

28:17He doesn't like me or what it is.

28:19But I'm like, this feels so uncomfortable.

28:22My thighs burn after though.

28:24That's how you know you're getting it.

28:25Yeah.

28:26Absolutely.

28:27I'm so fresh, I'm so clean.

28:28Can't nobody do it better than me.

28:29Pull up on my out with a gangsta lady.

28:30Can't nobody floss better than me.

28:31Are you still in the gym?

28:32No.

28:33Don't you dare show me what's underneath the clothes.

28:34You ass?

28:35Touch it.

28:36No, it's nice.

28:37Do you have a daughter?

28:38I do.

28:39One-year-old baby.

28:40Okay.

28:41Co-parenting.

28:42It's a long story.

28:43I hope so.

28:44It's a long story.

28:45It's a long story.

28:46I mean, it's a fine way to find out that you ain't co-parenting.

28:48Okay.

28:49How y'all doing?

28:50Hey.

28:51Fellas, can I talk to these beautiful ladies?

28:52Of course.

28:53Of course.

28:54So go ahead and do what you do.

28:55Yeah.

28:56Let's see if I can handle a hot seat.

28:57I mean, yeah.

28:58Send everybody home, you know what I'm saying?

28:59When Tommy grabs everybody to deliberate, I feel like the women probably say a lot about

29:12my sense of humor.

29:13And you know, sometimes that could be taken the wrong way.

29:16I probably have said something that somebody thought was serious, so I was nervous I could

29:20go home.

29:21All right.

29:22How y'all liking this open day process?

29:23It's like having a whole roster just here.

29:25Ooh.

29:26So you tell me, who gave you great first impressions?

29:31Darius gave great first impressions.

29:32Okay.

29:33Because he was very well-traveled.

29:34Love that.

29:35And just daily activities kind of match up.

29:37Okay.

29:38Vince, he's a funny, upbeat, positive guy.

29:41Yeah, my stomach hurt a little bit.

29:42Talk to me.

29:43Good.

29:44I will say Cardi, just like the authenticity feels really natural.

29:48And Ed is just my natural type.

29:50Really?

29:51Chocolate skin, pretty smile.

29:52What's your natural type?

29:53Chocolate skin, pretty smile.

29:54How about you, beautiful boots?

29:55Yes.

29:56Who's represented?

29:57Um, I like Bella.

29:58We have like a little connection.

29:59I liked it.

30:00And I forget his name.

30:01Teacher.

30:02Oh, Steven.

30:03He had his mother's pendant on his neck.

30:04I like that.

30:05And I like Chris, but I want to peel him back a little bit more.

30:07First impressions.

30:08I feel like Nicole may get overlooked.

30:09We go all the way back to undergrad.

30:10And once you have a conversation, she's extremely intelligent.

30:11Shannon is really multifaceted.

30:12So, you know, it's really cool to know when people are in love with what they're doing.

30:15Which of these ladies gave you the best first impression?

30:17I would say Donna.

30:18She just seems very kind.

30:19She's just genuine.

30:20And Lauren was honest up front.

30:21And, you know, it doesn't hurt with any of these girls that they're very nice looking.

30:24First good impression was Ina.

30:25She's an artist like myself, Christina.

30:26But she-she like to be called Ina.

30:27I'm sorry.

30:28I'm updating you.

30:29Who gives rid of half-day names?

30:30I'll give you me.

30:31I'm just kidding me.

30:32I'm just kidding me.

30:33I'm just kidding me.

30:34I am just kidding you.

30:35She's just kidding me.

30:36I'm just kidding me.

30:37I don't know.

30:38I'm just kidding me.

30:39I don't know.

30:40my name is no kidding me.

30:41The peur of the inside of my ass.

30:43I know.

30:44Yeah, I'm just kidding me.

30:46I know what I mean.

30:47I know what I mean.

30:48I mean, I'm just kidding.

30:49I know what I'm getting your neck.

30:50I know what I want.

30:52I bet I am.

30:54They're trying to update you.

30:54Anybody else?

30:55Ashley, she was just warm.

30:57We have the same value in terms of what a family might look like in the future.

31:01Who didn't give a good impression?

31:03Devon, was that his name?

31:04The mannerism threw me off.

31:05It was the hand movement.

31:06It was the dragon of the voice.

31:08It just was a little girly.

31:10It was the outfit for me.

31:11Where were you going?

31:12Mm-hmm.

31:12Bible study?

31:13But I think it was only one hell no.

31:15Richie, he refers to too skinny.

31:18He's too skinny?

31:18Too small for me.

31:19He has a tattoo on his hand.

31:20It says Playboy.

31:21God damn it.

31:24He enjoys riding motorcycles.

31:25He's a thrill seeker.

31:26That's a turnoff for you.

31:27That's a little too immature for me.

31:29Emily, it's because of the uncompromising.

31:31That'll become a problem and you won't accept me for it.

31:33So future arguments I'll avoid.

31:35You know you're married to this bike.

31:36You know that, don't you?

31:37What's going to happen when you find the perfect lady for yourself?

31:40I'm going to buy her a bike.

31:43Cardi, who didn't give a good impression?

31:46I think Dominique.

31:47It's just a little bit of distance.

31:48I don't know if there's enough connecting us.

31:51I honestly got the same thing.

31:52Absolutely.

31:52I thought the tattoo was somebody's name that she loves.

31:58He read the name inside the tattoo.

32:00How close was he?

32:01I can't see.

32:01A hundred percent.

32:03Wow.

32:03Both of my exes.

32:04I don't want to talk about that.

32:05If that's your cover-up, that's not a good job.

32:08You said that.

32:08Ooh.

32:09Wait a minute.

32:10Wait a minute.

32:10I didn't even see that.

32:11Don't worry about it.

32:12Yeah.

32:12I just, you know.

32:13Ben's trying to get confirmation.

32:15Don't worry about it.

32:16I'll try to lock in.

32:17I'll try to lock in.

32:18Give me someone else.

32:19I wasn't really feeling Diamond.

32:20I think more social cues.

32:22Nothing was clicking there.

32:23Ashanti.

32:24I did not feel a genuine connection.

32:26I would say Emily was very standoffish.

32:28I know that she has very long eyelashes, and she has a lot of cleavage.

32:32Saw that part.

32:33I know.

32:33That's what I said.

32:34Didn't listen.

32:35Who did not make a good first impression?

32:38Xavier.

32:38I said, you look really good.

32:40Just give me a 360.

32:41And he was tripping.

32:42I'm going to be asking a lot more things.

32:44If you can't just spin around, that's a bread flag for me.

32:48All right, gentlemen.

32:49Y'all keep looking at first impressions.

32:51I catch up with y'all.

32:52Thank you so much.

32:53Appreciate it.

32:53After the deliberation with Tommy, that definitely changed the vibe.

32:57No one wants to be the first to go home.

32:59I was talking to him for like three minutes, and I was like, you know what?

33:01I'm straight.

33:02It was like talking to a wall.

33:03I'm like, man, did I make a lasting impression?

33:06Did I do enough to hang on?

33:08We'll see.

33:09That was interesting.

33:19All right, y'all.

33:20Come on in.

33:21Gather around.

33:21There we go.

33:22We got red, black, blue, fuchsia.

33:26When we're gathering for this first elimination, I'm hoping I'm not one of them, and my stomach

33:31is in my butt.

33:33I'm a little shaking in my boots.

33:35How y'all doing so far?

33:36Amazing.

33:37Is everybody enjoying the company that I have provided?

33:40Yes.

33:41All right.

33:42We got a little business to happen.

33:44I told y'all at the start of the mixing that I would be checking in to see who you all

33:47felt was putting in the work to open it up early and making that strong first impression.

33:52And who wasn't?

33:56After checking in with y'all, it seems like four singles, two men and two women, might

34:02not have started off on their best foot.

34:04Ouch.

34:04I thought you said four.

34:05I said four.

34:06When I realized that four people are up for elimination, I'm freaking out.

34:13When I call your name, please step forward.

34:16Dominique.

34:19My name is Cod, and I'm thinking, dang, was one of these other girls named Dominique?

34:22I was shocked.

34:24Emily.

34:24I'm very surprised.

34:32Like, me being in a room of ten women and not clicking with anybody, that's definitely

34:37not a Richie thing.

34:39Devon.

34:42I can't be going home.

34:43This can't be it for me.

34:44Y'all see that I'm dope a little bit, at least.

34:47The overall impression from the group is that y'all's holding back a little bit, keeping

34:52your cards close to the vest.

34:54So, because you struggled to make a strong first impression, your time with us today

34:59is over.

35:05Four.

35:06I thought it was only a male and a female leaving.

35:08Now we just turned this to four people?

35:11Damn, I'm not going to get love?

35:13I feel insane at this moment.

35:15I'm confused.

35:16I really thought my man is in here.

35:19Are you serious?

35:20Nobody's safe in the process.

35:21I just kind of accepted that our time had come to an end.

35:24But, don't go nowhere just yet.

35:29I had no idea what's coming next from Tommy.

35:33But I was nervous.

35:34I was sweating.

35:35Your journey to find love is not over.

35:37Tommy be having some tricks up his sleeve.

35:42And at this point, I don't know what's happening next.

35:50Detroit, Detroit.

35:52On this season of Ready to Love, I want you to roll, bounce.

35:55You cussed my ass.

35:58And fall in love.

36:02Y'all ready?

36:06You don't believe in love at first sight?

36:08I believe in love at first sight.

36:09I believe everything happens for a reason.

36:11You still sipping on some champagne?

36:12A little bit.

36:13What's the celebration?

36:14You.

36:16Now it's time to dig deeper.

36:19This is your shot to shine.

36:20We get each other.

36:24I think you're funny.

36:25I think you're everything.

36:26As I get lost in your eyes.

36:27You just got all of it, though.

36:30You got the total package, too.

36:34How tall are you?

36:34I'm 6'2".

36:35Let me see your hand.

36:37Okay.

36:38I was just curious about your anatomy.

36:42These are those conversations.

36:44The deeper we get, the deeper we get.

36:46Some of the ladies just felt that they were trying to get to know you,

36:49but you were like, okay, let me get your number real fast.

36:51I'll call you later.

36:51I got to go to her.

36:52This conversation better go good, because I'm petty.

36:55You're comparing me to somebody that I'm not.

36:57My issue is with you.

36:59This is not a good first impression right now.

37:01Man, everybody hear it and say it and heard some s***, man.

37:03Come on with that bull.

37:04I heard what you said.

37:05You said a lot of slick-ass s***.

37:06You talk too damn much.

37:07You need to shut the s*** up sometime, bro.

37:10Where the ladies kind of stood,

37:11they felt like you weren't trying to make those connections.

37:15Certain individuals felt like you lead with sexuality.

37:17Some people can handle it.
