00:00Previously on Ready to Love...
00:02Detroit, what up, y'all?
00:05All 20 of you are here to begin this journey together.
00:09But some of y'all going home early tonight.
00:15Damn, this is fast. I don't want to go home.
00:18I like to travel.
00:19So what's your favorite place?
00:20Probably be Miami, because it's so easy.
00:22Oshantay, her whole vibe, it just spoke beauty.
00:26I'm just happy to see a familiar face.
00:28So Ed and I went to college together.
00:30I had the biggest crush on the planet.
00:33The new Ed.
00:33The new Ed.
00:34Do you ride motorcycles?
00:36Absolutely not.
00:37Okay.
00:37I don't like this.
00:38Like, I kind of want to get up.
00:40I love your tattoo.
00:41Thank you.
00:41There's names inside of that thing.
00:43It's a cover-up.
00:44Antonio Gates.
00:46So, okay.
00:48My ex-husband, Bashaun Leonard. You know him?
00:49You can't not know those guys.
00:51These are legends in the city.
00:53If that's what you're looking for,
00:54I don't think I have anything for you.
00:57Dominique.
00:58Emily, Richie, Devon, your time with us today is over.
01:05Four.
01:06I thought it was only a male and a female leaving.
01:08But I don't go nowhere just yet.
01:12Wow.
01:13At this point, I don't know what's happening next.
01:15You know it took me some time to get to the place that you wanted me to be.
01:22Oh.
01:23Oh.
01:24But now I'm ready.
01:26I'm ready.
01:29Your time with us today is over.
01:37But your journey to find love is not over.
01:43I was standing there waiting for him to say, okay, you can pack your bags and leave.
01:49So, I was a little bit confused.
01:52Tomorrow, you will be attending a second mixer.
01:55Wow.
01:57A first impression duo.
02:00So, I encourage you all.
02:03Step out your comfort zone.
02:05Really do the work.
02:07Rev up the romance.
02:09Make real connections.
02:10Giving us a second chance.
02:11I was relaxed.
02:12I felt free.
02:14We have a chance to get to know each other even better than the first mixer.
02:17So, I just had to take that home.
02:20Say your goodbyes for now.
02:22And I'll see y'all tomorrow.
02:23Make sure you bring your A-game.
02:25I know you're going to bring them some flying boots.
02:26I already know that.
02:28I already know that.
02:29I have mixed emotions because I just feel rejected.
02:32But after I thought about it, I was like, now I get to put my best foot forward and do some
02:37of the things that maybe I missed in the first mixer.
02:40All right.
02:40As for the rest of you, let this be an incentive to really open yourselves up.
02:45Because I'm not done just yet.
02:48No.
02:49By the end of the night, six more.
02:53Going to join the other four at tomorrow's mixer.
02:57Oh, my gosh.
02:58Three and three.
02:59Oh.
02:59Mm.
03:00Six more singles?
03:02Where?
03:03From here?
03:03At tomorrow's mixer, two singles time with us on this journey will end.
03:10Y'all better get to mingling up in here.
03:12Never.
03:13And I will see y'all in a bit.
03:15Goodbye.
03:18That was shocking.
03:20Wow.
03:20Don't it feel so good?
03:27Don't it feel so good to be alive?
03:31It's getting real.
03:31Wild.
03:32It's getting real.
03:34That's how you feel.
03:35I feel fine.
03:36What are they talking about six more of us, though?
03:38When Tommy announced there's going to be another round of elimination, I started recapping conversations
03:44that I had going, okay, what did I say?
03:46Like, what did we talk about?
03:47So I wanted to check the temperature of a couple of the ladies.
03:51So look.
03:51How?
03:52What?
03:52You spilling the beans?
03:54I said, you want to spill the beans?
03:56I'm spilling beans.
03:57I said, you want to spill the beans?
03:59What beans I got?
04:00I'm saying, you got all the beans.
04:01You talking to the girls.
04:02Like, you know what I'm saying?
04:04I just want to know if I'm going home.
04:07Talking to Chris, I feel like he may have little interest in me.
04:11He seemed to be more focused on trying to stay around, and I don't like that.
04:15Just let me know that so I don't be at home picking out unnecessary outfits.
04:18You feel me?
04:19What do you think about the elimination?
04:22I thought the elimination was very interesting.
04:24But, um, reason being is that I got to talk to them.
04:30They dope.
04:31They cool.
04:32So tell me something about you, like, about yourself.
04:38Um.
04:41Cardi was a little awkward.
04:43Um, left-handed.
04:45The conversation, it just didn't flow.
04:47It just didn't feel right.
04:48So who's going home?
04:50I don't know.
04:51Yeah, me either.
04:52Me either.
04:55It's been since undergrads.
04:57Long time, yes.
04:58Since thirsty, thirsty.
04:59Seeing Ed at the mixer, I am going back to my little girl feelings of being an undergrad.
05:06I always heard great things about you.
05:08Mm-hmm.
05:08Like that.
05:08It was always pleasant, you know, with the exchanges we had.
05:11I am definitely looking forward to spending more time with this man.
05:16I don't know if he has been secretly in love with me this whole time like I am with him.
05:22So I have not dated somebody with kids before.
05:24Do you want more?
05:25I for sure want one.
05:27And you want any?
05:27I want to be like soccer mom, packing lunches, like mom of the year, yes, yes.
05:33Nicole, she was always the homie, but I got to see Nicole from a different light.
05:38So she just seems like a great person.
05:40I like her energy.
05:41I feel like I'm getting to know you in a way I wouldn't otherwise have.
05:44Yeah.
05:44So it's been great.
05:47Like what do y'all think?
05:50Like does the process make sense to y'all so far?
05:52Like I do want to be a little bit more aggressive, but I still don't know how ready I am to open
05:59up completely to these strangers.
06:02I feel like with this process, it's kind of going to force us to get out of our comfort
06:06zone.
06:07But it's like, how?
06:10All right.
06:11All right.
06:12Ladies.
06:14Ladies, come with me.
06:15We're going to talk.
06:16Fellas, we'll catch up with y'all later.
06:18Cool?
06:18At this time that Tommy comes back around, another six people are going to the Second
06:23Chance Mixer, and there is a looming feeling that I could go home.
06:28All right, ladies.
06:29We have established what works.
06:31Now we want to talk about what's not working.
06:34Who needs to go to the Second Mixer?
06:37Mm.
06:39So Chris and I had a conversation, and he said, what are the ladies saying?
06:44Now he being messy.
06:46Chris.
06:47I just feel like we would be butting heads.
06:50Most women, if you were to ask the average woman, like, you have masculine traits, I'm
06:53only being this way.
06:54Well, we all have masculine and feminine energy, because we have to embody both.
06:58Too much masculinity.
07:00Shannon.
07:01Cardi.
07:02I think he's uncomfortable.
07:03He's uncomfortable.
07:04Like, chatting with me, and it feels forced.
07:07Cardi, the conversation is okay.
07:10I don't know.
07:11You're just not feeling it?
07:11It's not my vibe.
07:12And honestly, you can give him 20 mixers.
07:14It would still be a no for me.
07:16Diamond, who do you think needs to go to the Second Chance Mixer?
07:19I know everybody loves Bella.
07:20We have not had a chance to connect.
07:22I just feel like it's just not happening authentically.
07:26Anybody else?
07:27Xavier.
07:28I'm just not feeling a romantic connection at all.
07:31Why are you spending time asking me about my age?
07:33Am I going to teach you better?
07:34That's improper.
07:35Yeah.
07:35I would say Xavier.
07:37Why so?
07:38I told you, the 360.
07:40He went in 360.
07:40He went in 360.
07:41That's right.
07:41That's right.
07:42He do a little spin around.
07:43He's like, yeah, just for me.
07:45Nobody has to know.
07:46You got to earn it.
07:47Oh, no, you didn't.
07:49Laura wanted that man to perform for her.
07:52I know she might be into some things.
07:54I don't know.
07:54Ah, here we go.
07:56Here we go.
07:56I need you to tell me who else needs to attend the second chance mix.
08:01Diamond.
08:02She's the only person that I didn't get to actually, yeah, really interact with.
08:06Give me another one.
08:06Christina.
08:07She's just like on the move.
08:09I don't got that energy no more.
08:10I don't got that energy no more.
08:12Her energy was definitely on 10.
08:13I didn't get the interest from her, so put an X on that.
08:17All right, then.
08:18Shannon wasn't initiating engagement.
08:21Darius.
08:23I would say Donald right now I had the least connection with.
08:26It was a little bit too late, so I didn't really get to know all of Donna.
08:30Who else?
08:31Ashanti.
08:31We talked, but it was on the surface.
08:34It didn't go anywhere.
08:35That's an easy pick.
08:37Yeah, we talked to each other on a group conversation, but that one-on-one just never happened.
08:42We didn't develop a strong enough bond yet, so if I had to pick, it would be Ashanti.
08:46All right, we'll all mingle up, and we're going to figure out what's going on.
08:50Let's do it.
08:51All right, man.
08:56I'm like, please don't let me go home.
09:06Please don't let me go home.
09:07Clicking my shoes together.
09:09Like, there's no place like home, but I don't want to go there.
09:13Here we go.
09:13Here we go.
09:15All right, ladies and gentlemen, it is that time.
09:17Gentlemen, when I call your name, please step forward.
09:23Cardi.
09:26Mayhem is happening in my stomach, in my mind, and I'm just thinking, how did I get here?
09:32Chris.
09:37Xavier.
09:43After making my rounds, the consensus was you three were still having trouble shifting out of first gear
09:49and making connections.
09:52Okay, wow.
09:56I wasn't holding grudges necessarily, but I'm like, I literally know everything about these ladies.
10:01Like, how are they saying that I'm not asking them questions?
10:05But these men weren't the only ones who could have opened up a little bit more.
10:10Diamond.
10:12Christina.
10:16Me?
10:17I need answers, Tommy, because I know for a fact there were some other people that could have been down there.
10:23Ashante, please come forward.
10:29As you already know, there are no eliminations tonight, so you are safe.
10:36But the six of you will join the four from earlier at the Second Chance Mixer.
10:43All bets are off at tomorrow's Mixer, because two singles, one man and one woman, will go home.
10:52So, make sure you step your game up.
10:55There will not be a shot at a third Mixer.
10:59All right, I'll see y'all tomorrow.
11:02Everybody.
11:02My approach is, I'm going to be a little more outgoing without so much of the first day jitters.
11:11It's nice that we all get another chance, but at the same time, tomorrow, someone has to go home.
11:17During the first Mixer, I feel like maybe the guys just didn't know exactly how to handle me or handle my energy.
11:38Because I could be a little bit shy at first, believe it or not.
11:40So, as I'm walking into the Second Mixer, I'm just really hoping that I can come out of my comfort zone.
11:47Oh, that's hot as hell!
11:49I had to tell myself, look, these men want to talk to you.
11:51You need to show them that you want to talk to them.
11:53Cheers to our Second Mixer.
11:55Second chance.
11:57It's kind of cool of having, like, the second chance to really, you know, give that first impression again.
12:02Hey, it's game time, and it's time to get it.
12:04It's time to really be the best version of myself.
12:06Hey, Diamond, how you doing?
12:07Yeah.
12:08Looking good?
12:09Thank you, so are you.
12:10Like the shoes?
12:11Thank you.
12:12I'm trying to put my best foot forward.
12:14Today is going to be the day that it's turned out.
12:17How do you feel about being at the bottom?
12:20Were you shocked?
12:21Um, I don't, oh, I definitely was shocked.
12:22I don't consider myself the bottom now.
12:25I like Chris's effort.
12:27He's very clean.
12:28He's clashy chic.
12:30Oh, he's snobbery.
12:32Thank you.
12:32He has this signature smell.
12:35You can stand the men in a line, and I can wear a blindfold and just, um, Chris.
12:44You look very relaxed today.
12:45Yeah, you look way more relaxed today than you did the other day.
12:48I came down there with, like, this excited puppy energy.
12:51I felt like I was, like, overstimulated.
12:52So, but that was yesterday.
12:54Right.
12:55We are here today.
12:56You look real good.
12:57Thank you.
12:58You know, I tried.
12:59I went to the gym this morning, you know, had to get the blood pumping.
13:02Yeah, yeah.
13:03Devon looks awesome today.
13:05He put his best foot forward, and he looks great.
13:08Let's talk.
13:09Yeah.
13:09If you don't mind, can I join the crew?
13:14Yes, absolutely.
13:17After no good black people, I started trying to smile a little more.
13:21Me?
13:22Yeah.
13:23Richie walks up to me, and that's the first thing he said to me.
13:26It's like, you really need to work on smiling more.
13:28And I'm like, if I told you all the you need to work on, bro, your feelings would be hurt.
13:32Read the damn room.
13:33So, bye.
13:34Bye.
13:35Oh, there he go.
13:37What's that?
13:37Bring it this way.
13:39Bring it this way.
13:40Yes, sir.
13:41Oh, yeah.
13:42Looking good as usual.
13:44Thank you, man.
13:45Yes, sir.
13:46What's up, beautiful people?
13:47What's up, though?
13:49Now, they say you don't get a second chance to make a first impression.
13:52But on this season of Ready to Love, Tommy gets second chance.
13:56You know, I like to break the rules every now and then.
13:59Okay.
14:00That's cool with y'all?
14:00Yes.
14:01Today it is.
14:02Today it is.
14:03Right.
14:04Now, I get the first mix that didn't go exactly the way you all planned.
14:09And that's why you are here today.
14:11Yeah.
14:12All right?
14:13This is your second chance to show each other what you're working with.
14:17So, I want to see that Motown mojo.
14:20Okay?
14:21Shake off the hesitation, the fear, whatever's holding you back.
14:25And dive headfirst into this experience.
14:29Make those connections.
14:30Step out boldly.
14:31And trust me, you might just be surprised what you've discovered.
14:35One last thing.
14:37This is the moment.
14:38This is your shot to shine.
14:41There will be no more chances to make a good impression.
14:43Because by the end of this mixer, one man and one woman will be going home.
14:51I'm going to check back a little later, see how things going.
14:54All right.
14:55That's it.
14:55That's it.
14:56Go show everybody you ready to love.
14:58Go ahead.
14:59All right.
14:59How many love?
15:00Everybody give me a hug.
15:02I guess we need to all mix and deal with everyone.
15:04Yeah, we do.
15:05I felt like at the first mixer, I was more of an introvert.
15:08So, I knew I had to go hard or go home, right?
15:12I was on a mission.
15:13You looking good?
15:14Thank you so much.
15:21Did you design it?
15:22I did not.
15:23This is Poochie.
15:24Poochie?
15:25Okay.
15:25Dominique's first job looked amazing.
15:28So, off top.
15:29Like, she looked good before with the boots and stuff, but she looked great.
15:34I'm not really big on signs, but some of it's true.
15:37But I'm really good on vibes.
15:39Right.
15:39The thing is, when it comes to, like, the signs and stuff, I've never opened, like, a fortune cookie and it was like, you ain't, you know what I'm saying?
15:46You know?
15:47The dynamic of Dominique definitely changed from the first mixer.
15:51She came today different.
15:53My fortune cookie been saying some-
15:55You know, you're a terrible-ass person today, you know?
15:57Oh, my God.
15:57My fortune cookie been saying some good s***.
15:59But it always do.
15:59I've been going to MF Chain since it's across the street from my job.
16:02Oh, my goodness.
16:03And my fortune cookie been saying, like, you about to meet some amazing people.
16:06Dominique, I love that for you.
16:09I just don't believe everything for me.
16:11I think one thing that works real good that you can take and I think works well, it's called the Myers-Briggs test.
16:16It's, um-
16:17Oh, you put your arm around me, you know?
16:18I like you.
16:19Oh, it's all good.
16:20We good.
16:21We good.
16:21We all side.
16:21We inside.
16:23As Cardi put his arm around me, it feel natural.
16:26I received it.
16:28Yeah, claim was yours.
16:29I'll send you a whole breakdown of stuff so you can be like, okay, yeah, he just crazy.
16:33He got crazy.
16:33All right.
16:34Are you crazy?
16:35Um, I think we all are.
16:36We get into the nitty gritty.
16:37We get into the meat and potatoes.
16:39And I like meat and potatoes.
16:41And he's serving it.
16:42What's up, Cardi?
16:44I like a little crazy.
16:45Like, this s*** is a little crazy about me, y'all.
16:47Because crazy love crazy, y'all.
16:48Get your ass up here.
16:49I was like, yes, baby.
16:50I'm a good man.
16:53I'm an awesome cook.
16:54Really?
16:54And the crazy thing about it.
16:55What you like cooking?
16:56Do you be showing off your skills online?
16:58Yeah, I'm one of them show off cooks.
16:59I love to cook because I like to cook for the person I'm with.
17:02You know, it's, uh, I believe it's love in food.
17:06Yeah.
17:08So let's just start over.
17:09Listen, this is a fresh slate.
17:11This is a new mixer.
17:11Let's do it.
17:12Let's start over, right?
17:13Let's do it.
17:13So what do you love?
17:14What do you enjoy for fun?
17:16What do you like?
17:16I'm a mixed bag.
17:17I end up busy a lot.
17:19Busy with what?
17:20Busy with life.
17:21And that tends to, yeah, I don't have a lot of time.
17:24to commit to any one thing.
17:26And that's probably why I'm here single.
17:28That's one of the things that has always been an issue for me.
17:32Xavier mentioned that, you know, he's a very busy individual.
17:36And I don't want to date someone that makes themselves so unavailable.
17:41And in that system.
17:42So I hate to cut you off.
17:43No, please do.
17:44That's because this is the juicy stuff, man.
17:46I love these conversations.
17:47So I hate to cut you off, but I'm going to go head over really quick.
17:50Oh, you're really cutting me off.
17:52We got to go mix up.
17:54And for me, that was a red flag.
17:56It's just getting good.
17:57It was.
18:01I got a question for everybody.
18:03Okay.
18:03How do y'all feel about friends of the opposite sex?
18:06If I have a female friend and that's, like, genuinely my friend, she is very close to my spouse, too.
18:12And she can look at her as a sister or whatever.
18:14But that's how I operate.
18:16I totally agree with that, bro, because I'm raised by all women and I have a thousand female friends.
18:23A thousand?
18:23You know, but when I'm...
18:25I'm waiting for you.
18:26You know what I'm saying?
18:27I got a taste of that.
18:27No.
18:28Okay.
18:28So, before we continue, can we please not take all of my words literally?
18:34You said it.
18:35Not me.
18:35I was just laughing.
18:36I was just laughing.
18:36I was just laughing.
18:38Honestly, Richie can't ruin his second impression because the first one was already ruined.
18:42I ain't like it.
18:43I'm one here for it.
18:44Nope.
18:45Nope.
18:45Nope.
18:46And nope.
18:46Feels like he got some healing to do.
18:48He need to go do that.
18:49I like a thousand?
18:49Okay.
18:50That's a lot of friends.
18:53Oh, my gosh.
19:00And you look gorgeous, baby.
19:01Thank you.
19:02You're so pretty.
19:03Aw, you look very nice yourself.
19:05Thank you.
19:06I like how you put everything together.
19:07Baby, first mixer, you was looking like, sir, I'm the professor.
19:11Coming to the second mixer, it's like, oh, my God, okay.
19:14Yeah, yeah.
19:15But that just means that you have different looks to me, and that's good.
19:18First time.
19:18Okay.
19:19Being nearly eliminated really hurt my pride.
19:21Let's talk.
19:23Yeah.
19:23I know I'm dope.
19:24I do dope.
19:25I'm a dope person.
19:26Do you play any instruments?
19:27I'm a music major, so.
19:28I love operas.
19:29Like, I go to operas.
19:30This is a great revelation for me.
19:31I'm like.
19:32The girls just didn't get a chance to really see me or know me, and my mission was to make
19:37sure that that happened in the second mixer.
19:40You're interested in the arts, so that gives me a big canvas to.
19:42You know what?
19:43And there's nobody to go to plays and stuff with, right?
19:48When it comes to second first impressions, I'm killing the game.
19:51Every single girl I'm approaching, I'm giving my best, my A1 approach.
19:57Well, you picked the right one.
19:58You know what I'm saying?
19:58Yes.
20:00I'm going to hold it to that.
20:01Oh, don't worry.
20:03And I think it's working out great.
20:04You look like a whole new man.
20:06Yeah.
20:08He came with A game today.
20:10I like a company man.
20:11Yeah?
20:11I love it.
20:12Let's go.
20:13Let's see.
20:14Let's go.
20:16How you doing?
20:17I love your dress.
20:18Thank you so much.
20:19Yeah.
20:20You look amazing.
20:20You look amazing, too.
20:21Cardi looks really good.
20:23I don't know if it was the ambiance.
20:24I don't know if it was the rooftop, if it was the building, but Cardi just really stood
20:29out, so I just wanted to give that a second chance, so I was glad to sit down and talk
20:33with him.
20:34There's a bee on here.
20:35They say bees.
20:36If they're attracted to you, you have really great energy.
20:39Well, they should be all over you.
20:40Well, thank you.
20:41You think I have great energy?
20:42I think so.
20:43And you feel good.
20:45Thank you.
20:45Yes.
20:48What's going on?
20:51Yes, sir.
20:52All right, all right, fella.
20:53Yes, sir.
20:54They say y'all ain't pay y'all bar to have, so y'all go pay y'all bar to have.
20:57Oh, my God.
20:58Talk to these beautiful ladies.
20:59Yes, sir.
21:00Tommy asked me to step away, and I'm a little shook.
21:03I hope I made a good impression.
21:04I felt confident, but at the same time, I certainly am not feeling safe.
21:09How y'all like in the second go round?
21:11Good.
21:11It's okay?
21:12Much better.
21:13A lot better?
21:13A lot better.
21:14Anybody stepping up to the plate?
21:16Cardi was great.
21:17Cardi was very funny.
21:18I was smiling.
21:19Like, my cheeks was hurting.
21:21Cardi was amazing today.
21:22What?
21:23Yes.
21:23I wouldn't follow my man yet.
21:25Right, but we had a good conversation.
21:27earlier, too.
21:27Who stepped up for you?
21:29I would say Devon.
21:29I had a really good conversation.
21:31We kind of made some future plans, seeing some musicals.
21:34So I'm excited about maybe where that could go.
21:37Devon was amazing, actually.
21:39Really?
21:40How so?
21:41He was very, like, intentional about what he was saying and how he felt.
21:46Okay.
21:46All right.
21:47Who leveled up for you today?
21:49Devon.
21:50I do music, and I sing and write, and he started off as a writer.
21:54And so I'm all into that.
21:56How about you, Shante?
21:57Richie.
21:57We got to talking about, like, our diet and our lifestyle and how we have that in common.
22:01A lot of similarities, yeah.
22:03Now that we got that out the way, uh-oh, dun-dun-dun.
22:07Who did not step up?
22:09Probably Richie.
22:10My first interaction with him of the day was, he was like, you need to smile more.
22:14And I was like, wait a minute.
22:16It rubbed me the wrong way.
22:18Okay.
22:19You ready, Diamond?
22:20I'm ready.
22:21Now, Diamond, I want you to smile.
22:22You want me to smile?
22:23And tell me.
22:25I just feel like I haven't got a chance to connect with Chris yet.
22:28We still have not talked.
22:30I think it is prioritizing.
22:31I think we could have prioritized the time a little bit better to make that connection happen.
22:35All right.
22:36Anybody else?
22:37Xavier.
22:38What is Xavier missing?
22:39It was no, I didn't get a little tingly feeling in the back of my neck for him.
22:43No, mm.
22:44No.
22:44Nothing in the back of the neck?
22:46No.
22:46Back of the leg?
22:47Nothing.
22:48Not in the toe.
22:50Xavier has mentioned that he never has time.
22:53He said that's why he hasn't been in a relationship, because he doesn't have time.
22:56But if you come on this journey, you have to be ready to make adjustments, because what's
23:01the purpose of being here?
23:02Right.
23:03Christina, who did not step it up?
23:07Xavier.
23:07Everyone else butted in to everybody to come talk to me.
23:11I got pulled away from a whole bunch of men.
23:13Xavier hasn't made that effort.
23:15Do I see him as a romantic partner?
23:17No.
23:17Anybody else?
23:18And Richie.
23:18I feel bad, but we're here to be in a romantic relationship.
23:22And for me, I need some...
23:24Some things.
23:25You know, it is the best one I need, because it seems like he's a little bit more softer
23:29than it.
23:29Mmm.
23:30All right.
23:31I got what I need.
23:32Let me walk out of here like a fan.
23:34Oh, you got that energy.
23:37You got it.
23:37Oh, my God.
23:40It's there.
23:40You top tier.
23:41You there.
23:41Yeah.
23:42All right, ladies.
23:43All right.
23:43Appreciate you.
23:44Detroit, Detroit.
23:53Hey, Tommy.
23:55Hello.
23:55All right, come on.
23:57Bring it in.
23:57Bring it in.
23:57Bring it in.
23:58I'm not nervous one bit about being eliminated today.
24:02There's five of us.
24:03Out of five, I know I ain't number five.
24:06I'm absolutely not the worst one there.
24:09Let me first say, you are definitely stepping it up.
24:12So give yourselves a little round of applause there.
24:14Yes, sir.
24:15Yes, sir.
24:16However, there are still a couple of fellas who are not quite there yet.
24:23Mmm.
24:25Richie and Xavier, please step forward.
24:32How, Sway?
24:34How?
24:36All I can say is I'm going to enjoy this drink.
24:40Richie, women thought that there was no romantic connection.
24:45For some, they needed to see a little bit more masculine energy.
24:50Okay?
24:51Unmasculine.
24:52Richie.
24:53I've been with a thousand women.
24:56I don't see how I'm unmasculine.
24:58I'm a stepper in real life.
24:59Like, you know, I'm not a soft cat at all.
25:02Xavier, the women thought that there was some awkward moments with you.
25:06And was even concerned that you might not have time for love.
25:11Do you have time for love?
25:12I'm here, Tommy.
25:14I'm making time.
25:15You are here.
25:15Can you fit love in your schedule?
25:17I wouldn't be here.
25:19You wouldn't be here.
25:19All right.
25:21Gentlemen, while the ladies appreciate your efforts are opening up yesterday and today,
25:29for one of you, those efforts came up a little short.
25:32I am a bit nervous to be eliminated.
25:36Just a bit.
25:38So, you kind of prepare yourself.
25:41The man the women feel that just isn't ready to love is...
25:46Richie.
26:00Richie, please say your goodbyes.
26:05Bless black people.
26:06Bye, Rich.
26:07I'm grateful.
26:09This has been a beautiful experience.
26:11And, yeah, I'm ready for love.
26:13It's just...
26:14It's going to take a little more manifesting.
26:16Good luck to you, my brother.
26:16I pray everybody find what they're looking for.
26:19Ladies!
26:21The power now shifts to the men.
26:25At the end of the night, one of you will be going home.
26:30Home.
26:31That's it.
26:32I'll be back to making my rounds with the fellas real soon.
26:35Mix it up.
26:36Mix it all the way up.
26:37You want to get another drink?
26:39Yes, please.
26:40Look, I was about to say, let me go get my drink, too.
26:44This is getting real.
26:46It's crunch time.
26:47Let's get it together.
26:48Let's be more outgoing.
26:50Let's do this, girl.
26:51I'm not going home.
26:53Not today.
26:54I'm a survivor.
26:55Apparently.
26:56God!
26:59Well, hello, gorgeous.
27:01Hello.
27:02How you doing?
27:02I'm good.
27:05Finally.
27:06Right.
27:07Ashanti, she's kind of standing offish a little bit.
27:12I was confused about the vibes I was getting from her.
27:14Okay.
27:14I don't want to ask the question.
27:15Okay.
27:16Okay.
27:16I want you to judge me.
27:18As far as?
27:19Looks.
27:20Just aesthetics.
27:20I was trying to figure out if she's attracted to me.
27:24Just to see where I stand.
27:25I don't know.
27:26I don't know.
27:31When I judge a man, it's based on his confidence, his masculinity, that bossy energy.
27:37That did not exude confidence.
27:39Like, women don't value looks the way men do.
27:41Like, I don't need a man as handsome as I am pretty.
27:44It's like, that's not my leading thing.
27:46I did not get what I was looking for.
27:48I know for some people, it just takes a little longer to break down those walls.
27:52And I couldn't do that in the hours we had at the second mixer.
27:56I'm very big on energy.
27:59Very big on energy.
28:00Really appreciate that.
28:00I really love that.
28:03What are some things that you're passionate about?
28:05I know you mentioned your daughter.
28:07Oh, yeah.
28:07Yeah.
28:08Family is there.
28:09I like thrills, though, too.
28:10Okay.
28:10Yeah.
28:11So, I don't know if that's it.
28:12Are you similar with that in that regard?
28:14Ooh, I don't think I'm a thrill seeker.
28:17I think attorneys, overall, are risk adverse.
28:19Because we're thinking about repercussions.
28:21We're thinking about outcomes.
28:23And so, when he mentions that, it's not something that I'm super drawn to.
28:27Okay.
28:28All right.
28:29But the fact that a woman will be going home motivates me to try to meet more people and
28:34try to have more conversations and see if a connection sparks.
28:38So, what's your experience like with the guys?
28:40I mean, some people just have a more natural vibe.
28:43And it just is what it is.
28:46And other people, it feels more forced.
28:49Xavier is somebody who's very secure in who he is.
28:53And to me, that's attractive.
28:55Get me started, man.
28:59But, yeah, no, today's been real cool.
29:02Well, you should take my number, just in case, because I feel like we're about to do an elimination
29:06at some point.
29:07So, I like Diamond.
29:11She wasn't a romantic connection for me, but I think she's good people.
29:15To toast it.
29:16To toast it.
29:22Yeah.
29:22All right.
29:25How you feeling?
29:27I'm feeling good, but I feel, like, a little nervous.
29:32You don't got to be nervous.
29:33Okay.
29:34You staying.
29:36I'm speaking into existence.
29:37Speak that into existence.
29:39You need me here, right?
29:40I do.
29:41Period.
29:41Dominique, that's my boo.
29:43She is a sweetheart.
29:45She's awesome.
29:46She's thoughtful.
29:48She's emotionally available and intelligent.
29:51She just brings out, you know, something in me.
29:53How you feeling right now?
29:55I'm feeling great.
29:55I'm feeling fantastic.
29:57What's the best part of it?
29:59Me here with you.
30:00What you mean?
30:02How you know what to say?
30:04I'm just saying the truth.
30:05Is that the truth?
30:06Yeah.
30:06Okay, I believe it.
30:08I trust it.
30:09Mm-hmm.
30:09You got something on you.
30:11Can I get it off?
30:12Yeah, you can.
30:13Y'all never have to ask permission for me.
30:15Just go for it.
30:18Are you supposed to kiss me?
30:20I am.
30:23I know you lying.
30:24I ain't lying.
30:24That's how you feel?
30:25You feel like you should have kissed me?
30:27Yeah, absolutely.
30:27That's what you want to do?
30:28Right now.
30:29Oh, wow.
30:29That's crazy.
30:30When I went in for the kiss with Dominique, I was feeling myself.
30:33I felt the chemistry.
30:35You know, I felt like we were in the space to do it.
30:38We were alone.
30:40I felt like the opportunity was right.
30:45I was wrong.
30:49You was going for it.
30:50That s***.
30:51A hundred percent.
30:52A hundred percent.
30:54A swing and a miss.
30:57A swing and a miss.
30:57I was like, oh, okay, wait a minute.
31:00I think it's real chemistry with Devon.
31:02He's great.
31:03He's funny.
31:03And he's very much into me.
31:05And I like that.
31:07Show me you all about me.
31:08You ain't even fed me.
31:09You can't be kissing me outside, kissing me.
31:11I ain't even fed me yet.
31:12You took me on a proper date.
31:14Uh-uh.
31:14Hold on.
31:15Don't worry.
31:16That's me.
31:16You're going to take me on a proper date before you even think you can kiss me.
31:19Don't worry.
31:26I want to join the party.
31:28Hello.
31:28Hello.
31:29Welcome.
31:29Come on over.
31:30That's good, bro.
31:31All right.
31:32Don't let me stop everything.
31:33Unless y'all was talking about me.
31:34No, you about to start it because, you know, we haven't even spoke yet.
31:37Oh.
31:38That's because you've been running.
31:39Oh, I don't know if I was running.
31:40You got some sneakers on?
31:41I got these heels on.
31:41Who's that conversation about?
31:42Xavier was my weaker connection at the second mixer only because of how awkward it was from
31:49the first one.
31:51He told me, uh, he asked you the forbidden question.
31:54Why are you spending time asking me about my age?
31:55Did my man teach you better?
31:56That's improper.
31:58I think in that moment where I was like, whoa, he took it as, oh, she's offended.
32:03So maybe it might have come off like that, so I will apologize.
32:05No, no apologies necessary.
32:07That was yesterday.
32:08Today's today.
32:09And a completely different experience.
32:11You ain't ran away yet, so.
32:12And I'm like, wait, and I'm like, hold on, now we gotta jump back here.
32:16Xavier coming the more gentle route and allowing us to evolve our connection.
32:21It was definitely valuable to address it.
32:23Definitely valuable to get past it because now I got to see how great Xavier is.
32:27It makes you want to know more about him.
32:29Here's to getting to know one another.
32:30Yes.
32:31Finally, right?
32:32Finally.
32:33For sure.
32:34Hey, girl.
32:35Look at Diamond coming to text.
32:36Oh, Diamond.
32:37Coming to text my day.
32:38When I finally get a moment to talk to Chris,
32:41it feels good just because we have not had a chance to really dig deeper.
32:47What are you looking for?
32:48I'm looking for my person.
32:49Every man that I know that's super successful,
32:52got a strong woman by his side.
32:53Yeah, yeah.
32:54I totally agree.
32:55What's the smell?
32:57Have you smelled him?
32:59He does smell really, really good.
33:00Hold on.
33:00Really, really good.
33:01I was like, that's your schedule, what?
33:03Yeah, he does smell really good.
33:04How's this conversation going?
33:06You want to have a seat or?
33:07Mm, I don't know.
33:08I think I want a whole nother section.
33:10Christina just came in a little too soon.
33:12Can I borrow him?
33:13Um, not right now.
33:14Can I get like two minutes?
33:15It wasn't even like, can I join the conversation?
33:18She tried to pull him away.
33:18And I just kind of said like, no,
33:20we're going to make this conversation happen.
33:21Because I've been trying to talk to Christopher.
33:23Let me get him a little sniff.
33:24A long time.
33:25Diamond's like, actually, can we get two more minutes?
33:31Sure.
33:32You might need it.
33:33What do you do for fun?
33:35I want to heal through food.
33:36Ooh.
33:36Yeah, herbalism.
33:37Yes.
33:38That is our history.
33:40That is our culture.
33:40That's what we used to do.
33:41Yes.
33:42Hi, guys.
33:42What's up, what's up?
33:44Hey.
33:45I don't think three is the crowd today.
33:48Steak or fish?
33:50Fish.
33:50Okay, perfect.
33:51Glasses or contacts?
33:53Glasses, 100%.
33:54Leather or suede?
33:55I just broke up y'all conversation because it was like,
33:59I didn't know what y'all was talking about.
34:01When Dominique interrupts, it really rubbed the wrong way.
34:04Because it's tough.
34:05It's a lot of pressure to try to build a connection
34:07in the time that we have.
34:09Ass or titties?
34:11Ass.
34:12Period.
34:17Let me smell you.
34:18I'm very big on smelling.
34:20Okay, I need you to put some more cologne on me.
34:22You smell clean on me.
34:23It's been a long time.
34:24What's up, baby?
34:25Hey, hey, how you doing?
34:27Let's have a conversation.
34:29Yes, yes, sir.
34:30Good?
34:30Knowing that one of the ladies is going home, it's not a comfortable thing to do,
34:35but it's got to be done because that's the process.
34:39What do y'all think about the second, the whole second mix?
34:41It's been good.
34:42Got some connections?
34:42I do, definitely.
34:44With who?
34:45Uh, Dominique.
34:46We just vibe.
34:47We have a very good rapport.
34:49It's just easy.
34:50Chris, who stepped it up for you, man?
34:52Even though I didn't get any time with Christine and her, and I just vibe.
34:55Like, when you and somebody got a thing, it's just there.
34:59You know what I'm saying?
34:59We ain't got to talk.
35:00I just know me and her got a little vibe going on.
35:02Anybody else?
35:03Dying.
35:04Yeah, I actually had a very great conversation.
35:06Left me with a really good impression that I obviously didn't have yesterday.
35:10Great.
35:11Mmm, how y'all doing?
35:12Y'all good?
35:13Good, man.
35:13Doing great.
35:14Any ladies stand out to you in a better way today?
35:17Absolutely.
35:17I think, uh, both Dominique and Emily, like we had talked before, but they're lovely.
35:23Their perspectives and stuff.
35:24I mean, how genuine they are.
35:26Xavier, who stepped up to the plate?
35:28Christina, we actually had a chance to get a more full conversation this time around,
35:32and it's a 180, man, so we had great interaction today.
35:36So, um, I like her.
35:38All right, y'all know where I'm going.
35:40Mm-hmm.
35:40Who did not give a good second impression?
35:44I still feel a way about Ashante.
35:46She has walls up.
35:47She wasn't opening up enough.
35:49It's not for me.
35:50All right, goodbye.
35:51Ashante, it seemed like it was really tough for her to open up to me.
35:54Do you feel anything romantic?
35:56Do you feel any romantic connections when you're talking with Ashante?
36:00Mm-hmm.
36:01No, not really.
36:02No, no.
36:03Who is it that did not make a good second impression?
36:08Diamond, unfortunately, like, wonderful girl, but I don't know romantically if that's there.
36:12I don't really see that.
36:14All right, Zay.
36:15Not a connection.
36:16Diamond.
36:17And I really like Diamond.
36:18You really like Diamond.
36:19I could appreciate the person that she is, but it felt awkward.
36:24We here for love.
36:25I know.
36:26We ain't here for like.
36:27You just made the point.
36:29My man.
36:30I'm going to see y'all in a minute.
36:31All right, Tommy.
36:32Appreciate it, Tommy.
36:33Yes, sir.
36:34There's a whole lot of emotions and anxiety going into this elimination.
36:37It was a very hard decision, but I felt pretty good to where I gave everybody a fair shake.
36:43Another drink?
36:45Got to.
36:46Let's get it.
36:46Beautiful people.
36:57Donnie.
36:57Hey.
36:58I hate to break it up, but can we go outside and...
37:00We can.
37:01Let's do it.
37:02Let's talk.
37:02Let's talk.
37:03Let's do it.
37:04Am I worried I'm going to get eliminated?
37:05Hell yeah, because I couldn't believe I got eliminated the first time.
37:09So my anxiety is through the roof.
37:10What up, what up, what up?
37:12What up, what up?
37:13Hey, the police here.
37:16The police here.
37:17All right, people, you know what to do.
37:19Come go on, Tommy.
37:20Let's get it cracking.
37:22You can't help but have the heart pounding a little bit when Tommy announces that he's about
37:27to make the eliminations.
37:29You can't help but wonder if things are going as well as you thought they were.
37:33This has been a day of second chances, and I appreciate all of y'all for giving your
37:37best and giving each other another shot, but now it's time for the women to find out whose
37:42shot Mr. Ma.
37:46Y'all felt like nobody was safe.
37:47Once you hit that chopping block that first time, like, nobody is safe.
37:51You just don't know.
37:52I need Diamond and Ashante to step forward.
38:00Stomach in my do you hear me?
38:02All that I've done and I'm here again, I'm freaking out.
38:06I'm like, all right, if I go home tonight, it's going to be a problem.
38:10Diamond.
38:10Yes.
38:11The men thought that the conversation with you today were great, but the romance might
38:15not be there.
38:16Okay.
38:17And they're struggling to make a connection.
38:19Okay.
38:19The first mixer, I was really shocked, surprised, and confused.
38:24The second mixer, I felt more at peace because I felt like, oh, you know, maybe my person is
38:30not here.
38:32Ashante.
38:32The men thought it was tough for you to open up for them today and go deep.
38:39I am very reserved until I feel comfortable.
38:41I have to observe first.
38:43So I'm like, these people are probably about to send me home, child.
38:46Ladies.
38:47The men thought that both of you had something to offer, but just didn't think one of you
38:52opened up enough.
38:56The gentlemen have decided.
39:01Diamond, you are not ready to love.
39:04Okay.
39:07Please say your goodbyes to the group.
39:09Thank you.
39:09It's never fun to be eliminated, but I'm still happy that I challenged myself and I put myself
39:19out there to do it.
39:20I am happy about the conversations that I had, but if nobody felt that spark, then that's
39:26okay.
39:27I know that I'm ready to love.
39:28I know that I have a lot of love to give for the right person.
39:32Ashante, you are safe for now.
39:36All right.
39:36Go home and get back in line.
39:37Rejoin the others.
39:39Okay.
39:39For real this time, we're going to open up a little bit more because I'm not ready to
39:45go home yet.
39:46I want to congratulate you all for stepping it up and redeeming yourself after yesterday's
39:50mixing.
39:51Now it's time for a clean slate.
39:54You all will soon be reconnecting with the rest of the group where the love and romance
39:59of Ready to Love will kick into high gear.
40:03Y'all rest up and be ready to roll.
40:06Yeah.
40:07Key word, roll.
40:09I will see y'all soon.
40:11Okay.
40:12That's it.
40:12Y'all made it.
40:13Okay.
40:15This is it.
40:18Congratulations, everyone.
40:19Overall, the experience at the second mixer was fantastic.
40:25I felt like all my connections deepened.
40:28I think these other fellas that weren't there got some catching up to do.
40:31Your boy's been busy.
40:34I feel better.
40:38Next time on Ready to Love.
40:40It's time of Skate and Jam.
40:45Remember, you will not find love until you are open to exploring all the world.
40:49All the options in front of them.
40:51I wasn't into the sucking toes, but I seen yours.
40:54They suckable?
40:54Man, English.
40:56You are hilarious.
40:58My man might be in his room.
41:00You're manifesting?
41:01I'm manifesting that I came to the right place to meet my man.
41:04That is why we're here.
41:05I haven't felt that type of electricity with anybody in a long time.
41:11I classified you as jarred.
41:13But you didn't get to know me.
41:14A lot of women feel this way about you.
41:16That's ludicrous.
41:18You're so prejudiced, so I don't know.
41:19I feel sorry for you on that one.
41:21I'm not that type of person.
41:22I don't know.
41:22I don't see.
41:23Let's do it.
41:24Gracias.
