00:00Friend.
00:02She is love, as far as I'm concerned.
00:05I'm going to change your name on the phone to love.
00:07Period.
00:08I say Donna Banks in that thing.
00:10That's your last name?
00:11That's my last name.
00:12Donna Banks, I can see it.
00:14McCarty, we have surface conversations.
00:17We've never really gotten deep.
00:19But I can do a lot better, though, too, you know, as well.
00:21But can you get deep in the relationship?
00:24How tall are you?
00:25I'm 6'2".
00:26So did your doctor say that you were 6'2"?
00:28Or did he say 5'11"?
00:29What are we talking about?
00:31We were just asking how tall you are.
00:32That's it.
00:33Do you have in mind that this is the one?
00:35We're trying to decide who's right for us.
00:38Not we, or you.
00:39If you're going to be confused about how you feel about me
00:41right now, then it's time for you to go.
00:45No, it took me some time to get to the place
00:48that you wanted me to be.
00:50Oh, but now I'm ready, I'm ready to love.
00:59All right, Miss Ashante.
01:10Let's see this Detroit fur and...
01:12I know.
01:13That's right.
01:14...right leg out.
01:16Hey, Ms. Dominique.
01:19How are you?
01:20Deliberations this week, I am ready.
01:24I'm equipped to get to the nitty-gritty of what needs to happen in this deliberation room,
01:29and I ain't holding no bars.
01:31Welcome back, ladies.
01:33How y'all feeling? Y'all good?
01:35Yes.
01:35Y'all look beautiful, as always.
01:38This week was about introducing your bestie to your potential boo.
01:41Mm-hmm.
01:42I want to hear what they thought about your connections.
01:46Dominique.
01:47Let's talk about it.
01:48We are talking positive vibes only.
01:50Who did they say was the best fit for Dominique?
01:53Hello.
01:53They felt like he stood on business behind what he said, how he felt about me.
01:58He's very consistent in what he's saying to me.
02:00Ashley.
02:00So Darius, he was saying everything that I like and that my cousin liked.
02:04You didn't lit up. You know you didn't lit up.
02:06Yeah.
02:07Shannon.
02:08I brought Steven because we've been getting to know each other, and she likes his vibes.
02:13She feels like, aesthetically, he very much matches me.
02:17But she's like, is he ready, though, for those next steps?
02:21My friends both pretty much thought that Steven was very genuine.
02:26Their concerns with Steven is they wanted to see more of that vulnerability.
02:31All right, Donna, here I come.
02:33I knew I was next.
02:34You knew it, didn't you?
02:35Mm-hmm.
02:36I like Vince.
02:37I 100% get him, and he 100% gets me.
02:41Yeah.
02:42Vince, man.
02:43What happened?
02:45They were rooting for Vince, but he comes in, and they ask, how tall are you?
02:50And he goes, I'm 6'2".
02:51It was a 10-minute argument between my best friend and him.
02:54About 6'2".
02:55About 6'2".
02:56It was embarrassing because he's kind of being aggressive, and it was a bad impression on them.
03:01And I felt like, I don't know how he's going to act when I take it.
03:04Like, I just don't know.
03:05All right.
03:06Sheesh.
03:07All right, ladies.
03:08Now y'all see the importance of having your connections meet your friends.
03:12So, which of these guys are your least connections?
03:15They told me to run from Cardi.
03:17Run from Cardi?
03:18What's up?
03:18Yep.
03:18They said that he is very textbook with his answers.
03:23Yeah, it's always been surfaced with Cardi.
03:26He go deep with the other ladies, but he's not going deep with me.
03:30And I'm just like, no.
03:32Cardi, he starts with the questions.
03:34By the time the night goes, I got 30 questions.
03:35I don't want to do the homework, so.
03:37But he seems like a great guy.
03:39We just haven't been able to connect.
03:41Dominique.
03:42Devon's energy when he came into the room was very low.
03:45They are savages, so they went right for it.
03:47It went for blood.
03:48It was like, he weak as hell.
03:49You're supposed to be guiding and leading me, so I feel safe.
03:53I need a man to be very confident.
03:55In private, Devon has told me that I'm his number one.
03:58So, when I hear him say, oh, she's like top two,
04:02he's not dishing out what he's dishing out in private.
04:05Like, he's not standing on what he said.
04:08Donna?
04:08Devon, I don't know exactly what he wants from me.
04:11You have multiple connections, so call somebody else.
04:14All right, ladies.
04:15I have heard enough.
04:17It is so easy to put the blinders on when you're feeling somebody.
04:21Mm-hmm.
04:21Yes.
04:22So I'm glad y'all was able to get that outside perspective from your friends.
04:26Mm-hmm.
04:27With that extra perspective in mind, I want a few of you to take these men out and let them know if they are not ready to love.
04:36Oh, my God.
04:38Keep it just as real with them as your friends did with you.
04:43Yes.
04:44Now that we've got to know these gentlemen a little better, it's really hard knowing that one of these guys are going home.
04:50And I kind of feel a little bit sad, but I know that this is just what has to happen, and it just gets us one step closer to who we're supposed to be with.
04:59All right, ladies, this is the next part.
05:03Friends can't help you.
05:05I'm going to send all of you out to a romantic lake cabin in the woods.
05:11This is your ready-to-love getaway.
05:14This is when you find out what's real.
05:16It is on you, ladies.
05:18I will see y'all soon.
05:20Okay, go and do what you got to do.
05:23Okay.
05:23Cool.
05:33I'm really just still on high because Ashley is just such a nice soul, and not only, like, communicating things, but of who she truly is.
05:40So I'm looking forward to seeing exactly what she has to say.
05:43Is this C-Tick?
05:44Hey, Cardi.
05:45How you doing, Ash?
05:46How you doing?
05:47How you doing?
05:47He's trying to give me a handshake.
05:48Oh, I'm sorry.
05:50It's okay.
05:50I'm killing it already.
05:52But knowing that Tommy had a lounge with the ladies and then spilling a drink on a woman is the worst thing that you possibly could do.
05:59Can I have a napkin?
06:00That's a good way to start his impression.
06:03I know that Tommy had a lounge with the ladies, so going into the date with Shannon, I'm nervous.
06:14Hello there.
06:15Looking fantastic as usual.
06:18So are you.
06:18I like your sweater.
06:20Man, you smell good.
06:22Look at this.
06:24Oh.
06:25How you feeling?
06:26What's up?
06:27I'm feeling good.
06:28I'm, um...
06:29I'm feeling good.
06:31I feel like we didn't really get to know each other like how we planned on.
06:36Like we text, but I feel like we're not talking about nothing.
06:40It makes me feel like, okay, do he want to know a little bit more deeper things about me?
06:45Absolutely.
06:45That's why we got to talk more.
06:47But if I call you, you got to call me back.
06:48You're right.
06:48But we only talked from after my friends twice.
06:52Before, you didn't care about hitting me up during the week.
06:54No, no.
06:54I stay consistent on the things that I'm doing.
06:57I think we should talk about the date.
07:00It was a little lukewarm.
07:02And I was looking to you to show up and show out and say, Shannon is my number one.
07:09It's been fluctuating.
07:10Dominique has been in my top since the beginning.
07:14But sometimes she's not my number one.
07:16Ashante's been rising for me.
07:18And I feel like there's some uncertainty.
07:21So, the ladies met with Tommy.
07:24Me and a lot of the ladies feel like you are surface.
07:27We feel like you have a whole story that you're not really trying to tell us.
07:30I feel like I have intentionally tried to get to know everybody.
07:34And it's hard to really go deep with everybody.
07:37Do you feel like you're selling the ladies the same thing?
07:39I don't think so.
07:41The ladies and I met.
07:42And we feel like you could have changed the game by speaking up and speaking out.
07:47We feel like sometimes there is a lack in confidence.
07:52With all of these things that the ladies and I have discussed, we feel like you are.
07:58But me and the ladies definitely have decided.
08:05Not ready to love.
08:08I respect the decision.
08:10And I feel very blessed that I got to meet you.
08:14Thank you for saying that.
08:16The most challenging part of this process was narrowing down who my love interests are.
08:22And giving them the attention they deserve and need.
08:25So, I feel bad.
08:28And I was too political with my connections.
08:30And if I had been more assertive in my dates, I probably wouldn't be getting eliminated.
08:34You are definitely ready to love.
08:40Awesome.
08:40You have all the qualities that everybody love and want.
08:43But they want more of Cardi.
08:45I'm going to give you more of me.
08:46Okay.
08:47Ashley telling me that I'm still ready to love brought a great relief.
08:51But it also brings in the focus that I want to do more things intentionally so that the women know that I'm not shallow.
08:58But having that one-on-one with her is really the most important.
09:00And I'm just very thankful.
09:02I had a great time.
09:03Thank you so much.
09:08Here we come now.
09:10You know we got it.
09:12We got it right now.
09:16Are we excited?
09:18Oh, yeah.
09:18Hell yeah, we excited.
09:20Tommy's sending all of us on a group getaway.
09:23And I'm super excited.
09:24We're about to see what's cooking up in this cabin.
09:27Because some things is about to happen.
09:29Oh, Shannon, like, where is my man, my man, my man?
09:35My connection with Steven is definitely just a slow burn.
09:38Like, it's not a gigantic flame yet.
09:42So I just wanted to increase the heat.
09:45The connections and all of that, I'm like, what do you mean you have a connection with so-and-so?
09:50Yeah.
09:51What about me?
09:52So, if y'all had to name a kryptonite, what's y'all kryptonite?
10:00What does that mean?
10:00In the other sense.
10:01Like, wow, that's my thing.
10:04Are we thinking of saying that?
10:05Yeah, we all are not saying that.
10:06I don't think we can say what it is.
10:08I mean, keep it classy.
10:09So typical.
10:10So typical.
10:10Going into the getaway, I got a few connections.
10:13I got Shannon, Lauren, Ashante, and Donna.
10:17And spending three days with my connections in the house, I think it could get awkward.
10:22But my goal for the getaway is to narrow down my options and see who I really have a strong overall connection with.
10:31It's so beautiful.
10:33Look at the trees.
10:36Oh, look at that.
10:38Oh, it's so cute.
10:39Oh.
10:43Oh, my goodness.
10:45Oh, my goodness.
10:49Wow.
10:50Walking into this lodge is like walking into something out of a movie.
10:56Tommy really went all out.
10:58I did not expect it to look this amazing.
11:01I'm really looking forward to staying at this lodge and getting to know everybody better.
11:06Hello, hello, hello.
11:07Hey.
11:08Hello.
11:08How are y'all?
11:10How are y'all?
11:10You got to sit there.
11:12Hey.
11:12You look so nice.
11:14We in here.
11:15What's up?
11:16Hey.
11:17Hey, hey.
11:17How you doing, baby?
11:18Let's kind of explore the house, see what it got to offer.
11:21Let's look at some bedrooms.
11:23The girls are gone.
11:26Everybody just kind of takes off and starts running around the house.
11:29We really don't even know where the bedrooms are at this point.
11:33This is my room.
11:38It's a little mayhem.
11:40Oh, yeah.
11:40I call this one.
11:42With you being all the way upstairs and me being all the way downstairs, I think that's
11:45a great separation.
11:46Okay.
11:47Because, you know, I feel like the animal instinct doesn't kick in and it draws us together.
11:52I picked this one.
11:55You like this one?
11:56I knew it.
11:57Yeah.
11:57The moment you walked in there, I know you already claimed it.
12:00I love it, actually.
12:01Woo!
12:03Am I in here with both of y'all?
12:06Yeah, we picked this one.
12:07How did you pick this one?
12:08I picked it first.
12:10I didn't know you did.
12:11My bag was right there and you tripped over it.
12:13I'm cracking up.
12:14So where am I going to sleep now?
12:16Because y'all sleeping in here.
12:17I'm not sleeping with y'all.
12:17I noticed that Dominique is putting Bello's bags into her room and Bello and I still have
12:36a strong connection and if he does end up sleeping with Dominique, it would be a huge
12:40deal breaker for me.
12:41So I need to make sure that we have a conversation so that he understands my boundaries clearly.
12:47I picked.
12:48Now you picking?
12:49I picked.
12:50You got some cojones, girl!
12:55Hey, hey!
12:56What up, yo?
12:57Hey!
12:57What up, yo?
12:58What up, yo?
12:59All right, everybody out here together, huh?
13:01What's up?
13:02What's good?
13:03All right, welcome to your luxury getaway.
13:05Yeah!
13:06What's going on here?
13:07Nothing like a romantic getaway to deepen bonds and really get to know somebody.
13:13And that is crucial as we get closer and closer to the finish line with some important decisions
13:19that will need to be made.
13:21Don't forget, this trip is not just about getting some R&R.
13:24It's about determining who has the strongest connections and who may not be ready to love.
13:33Okay?
13:33Gentlemen, the power's in your hands to determine which of these ladies will be leaving this
13:39getaway scene tomorrow.
13:42Oh, my God, man.
13:45Dun, dun, dun!
13:47When Tommy said that one of the ladies was going home, I could've f***ed my pants twice.
13:54I was thinking like, okay, Ash, now is the time to really dig deep.
13:58And as long as I was just being myself and staying true to who I am, everything would
14:02be good.
14:03All right, I'm going to check back on y'all tomorrow morning.
14:05In the meantime, all y'all got to do is do your part, okay?
14:10Just relax and have fun.
14:12Hey, drink to that.
14:13Cheers.
14:14Yeah.
14:18Give me one game of this.
14:19What's this called?
14:20Cornhole.
14:21Cornhole!
14:23Cornhole!
14:24Cornhole!
14:24I've actually never played Cornhole before.
14:29Is it Cornhole?
14:30Cornhole?
14:31Cornhole?
14:31Cornhole?
14:32I ain't never played that before.
14:34Go ahead, Dun.
14:35Woo!
14:36Oh!
14:37That was really good.
14:39I got close.
14:41You don't want to step to me, I'm going to tear it up.
14:43Yeah, you looking at it fast, and you're going to be done.
14:45Oh, that's good.
14:46That's tough.
14:47Yeah, man.
14:49Oh!
14:50Get that on tape.
14:51Can somebody get that on tape?
14:53I like that.
14:56I like that.
14:59Woo!
15:01That's relaxing like that.
15:03I love that for you.
15:05I love it.
15:06Sink it to the couch.
15:08Yes, indeed.
15:10After the Meet the Friends Day, I definitely have some questions for Darius.
15:14Who were you in the longest relationship with?
15:17The longest relationship?
15:18It was 11 years, actually.
15:20I want to have children.
15:21I want to be married.
15:23I'm not waiting past a year.
15:26Seems really unfortunate to be with someone that long, and he didn't end up settling down.
15:31So I'm just trying to figure out if he means what he really says about wanting a wife.
15:37So tell me, you kind of stated like you were with somebody for 11 years.
15:44Yes, for a long time.
15:47That's giving common law.
15:49It was off and on.
15:50It was off and on.
15:51Yeah, off and on.
15:52Yeah, off and on.
15:52I believe in marriage.
15:54I'm getting married one time.
15:55It's got to be the right person, though.
15:56Okay.
15:57You know, so the people that I chose, I think it might have been the wrong reasons.
16:02I was in my 20s.
16:03Yeah.
16:03I seen the heart, and I seen the potential, a quality, but I thought I could change the young lady.
16:10She was in adult entertainment.
16:11What is that?
16:14Stripper.
16:16You were with a stripper?
16:18Yes.
16:18So I can't say I'm surprised that Darius might have dated an exotic dancer, but I'm not going to be doing anything like that.
16:28So I thought I could change her because I looked at her heart.
16:30Why do you think you could change anybody?
16:32I thought I could just maybe lead her in a different direction.
16:35Most people that do adult entertainment, it's only a quick stop for them.
16:38It is?
16:41Wait a minute.
16:41What attracts you to a person?
16:45So I would say what attracts me is their depth, their energy, definitely the looks, too.
16:52Where did you meet this person?
16:54I met her at my club.
16:55I owned the club, actually.
16:57With Shannon, I feel like she's judging me because of my past relationships, but I ain't no playboy.
17:04I'm a grown-ass man, and I came here looking for love.
17:07That don't sound good.
17:09So I don't want no part of it.
17:11I don't want no part of it.
17:12I didn't want no part of it.
17:13I don't want no part of it.
17:14I don't want no part of it.
17:16That's so good.
17:16Coming in hot, are you ready?
17:20This is it.
17:21Lauren, what's that dance you're doing?
17:23Ah, ah, ah, ah, oh, don't it up.
17:26Don't get it twisted.
17:27This is a good ass dance.
17:28I got to learn the Detroit two steps.
17:30You don't even know the basics of.
17:32I know the one, two, but the second
17:34that you guys start doing this, I'm backing up,
17:35and I'm starting hitting people.
17:36Your best way of doing it is getting behind a woman
17:39and doing it.
17:40They will take you through the motions of it.
17:44You know, I saw when you had it on today.
17:46I was like, OK.
17:46Oh, we need to hug.
17:47I was like, OK.
17:48They're harder than white, but I was like,
17:49you seem a little loud.
17:51No, no, no, no, no, that's better.
17:51It's like, if you know, you know.
17:53Yeah, no, this is my brother, yeah.
17:56And you do it on with the right fit.
17:58And the boots worked.
18:01How much were they?
18:0212.
18:03Mm.
18:05Mm.
18:06That is fine.
18:07That is fine.
18:08My connection with Donna now, we're starting
18:10to come to a pretty good place with each other,
18:12because Meet the Friends helped me and her grow stronger.
18:15So I'm going to, like, see if I can, like,
18:18continue to build on that and see where that goes.
18:21This is the real question now.
18:22Are you good with money, being a mathematician?
18:24So let's talk about this.
18:26OK.
18:26My dissertation, it is on spending habits of millennials.
18:30What?
18:32While I'm seeing my connection, spending time
18:34with their other connections, I absolutely
18:36feel like a third wheel, so I'm not going
18:38to allow that to happen.
18:39You see what I'm saying?
18:40I'm going to ride it out.
18:41What y'all riding out, ain't you?
18:43Oh, my god, your dissertation.
18:45Yeah.
18:46That's deep.
18:47It's a little awkward Shanna interrupted.
18:49Would you guys like to sit down?
18:50Yeah, might as well.
18:51OK, let's sit down.
18:52Trying to, like, work on a connection,
18:55and I feel like I'm going to make time for all my connections.
18:59So many people on this couch.
19:01Exactly.
19:03I'm just in the middle.
19:04I'm just living it up.
19:06So what are we going to talk about as a unit?
19:08Shanna.
19:08Oh, my god, Vince.
19:10What's up?
19:11Can I come over there?
19:12You should come over here.
19:13Go over here, buddy.
19:15You know, I don't know what's going on right now.
19:17Me and Donna are having a cool conversation.
19:20Next thing I know, Vince steals away Miss Donna.
19:23And I'm like, what just happened?
19:26Are you all up in my situation anyway?
19:28How about that?
19:29I was just trying to help your situation out.
19:31You think that's what I like?
19:32You know, I don't know what you, I know what you like.
19:34But let me tell you this.
19:37So if you had to choose one characteristic that
19:39was a non-negotiable that you needed.
19:41I can make plans and depend around whatever he said.
19:45So I'm never going to be left hanging.
19:47And neither with my children.
19:48With the friends date, Vince and I discussed,
19:51do you want to be married, do you want to have more children?
19:53And the answer was yes.
19:54My hesitation is this, Donna does want to have kids.
19:57I don't mind having more children.
20:00You don't mind having more children?
20:01No, I don't mind.
20:02I could not have them as well, and it wouldn't bother me.
20:05I'm fine.
20:05But I'm not feeling like 100% I know for sure that you're, like,
20:09seeing that far in the future.
20:11So maybe I should pull out the real deep questions.
20:15Have you considered what the relationship
20:17would be like with having grown children and infants
20:20and new children?
20:21My daughter would absolutely love it.
20:23My son, on the other hand, his personality
20:27is that he don't mess with a lot of people.
20:30He is the youngest.
20:31So for him to be able to be a big brother is something
20:35completely different that he hasn't experienced.
20:37You know, I grew up as the oldest child with me and my brother.
20:40And then my dad remarried and had children again.
20:43And I'm 16 when my sister was born.
20:45Oh, so this is experience here.
20:47This is my life, right?
20:48And then we're close to this day.
20:50That's a beautiful position to have.
20:52And that's a beautiful position to look up to.
20:55Having a conversation with Donna about children,
20:59it really lets me know that she's serious about our connection.
21:03And it's good to know that she has experience
21:05with a blended family.
21:06So that makes me feel really good about, you know,
21:09the possibilities of moving forward.
21:11If you were to get married and have children again,
21:13do you think that you would be just as excited?
21:17Or would some of that be lost because it's not the first time?
21:20Like, how do you think that experience will be different for you?
21:23Um, knowing how I feel about my children,
21:26knowing what they are, and then do that again
21:30and bring children in this world that's of mine,
21:33that would be the most amazing thing I couldn't imagine
21:36but being ecstatic all over.
21:39I couldn't imagine being anything else.
21:41When it comes to Vince wanting more children,
21:44I'm surprised that he said he would be
21:46just as ecstatic as the first time.
21:48And I'm excited that he's excited.
21:58Hello, hello.
21:59Hello, hello.
22:00Mr. Supermodel, beautiful Bella.
22:02Come on, get out of here.
22:03You know all that.
22:05So how's it going?
22:07Not bad.
22:09I'm just trying to figure out how to maneuver through this.
22:15After the room choosing situation with Dominique,
22:19I don't feel like I'm Bello's top connection.
22:22So I really want to find out if we're still on the same page.
22:25Am I still a connection?
22:26Is this relationship a priority for him?
22:30One of the things I do wonder, if you are emotionally available to me as a connection, I'm not sure if I feel that 100%.
22:39We've kept in touch this whole time.
22:41Yeah, we have kept in touch.
22:44Nothing's changed.
22:45In my mind coming here, I was like, clearly I have connections and we're all dealing with the same people, so I'm gonna avoid stuff.
22:55I'm just gonna see what they'd rather do.
22:57Hmm.
22:58But is that you?
22:59Is that you in full expression?
23:01It's not, but how can I be in full expression when you're not in full expression with me?
23:07No, it's not like that.
23:09If you feel like you want to have a conversation, say, hey, I'd like to have a conversation with you.
23:12Mm-hmm.
23:13Do what Lauren does, like, you can't, don't try and dim your light or try and, like, maneuver other people, just do you.
23:22I feel like with Lauren, she's playing a lot of chess, like, does he like me? How much does he like me?
23:29Okay, if he likes me, I'll talk to this person. Oh, I'm not this person's top connection.
23:33So, let's see how this happens, and it's, like, way too much, way too much calculation.
23:38Do you feel like I'm playing it safe?
23:40There's no safe.
23:41If you play it safe, then...
23:43Right, then you play yourself, right?
23:45Okay.
23:46So, I'll be going home tonight.
23:48Ooh.
23:49And if you playing it safe, then you might just not get noticed in the way that you should be.
23:54Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
24:04All right.
24:05Oh, my God, what you trying to show me?
24:06Oh, I got to put you on game.
24:07Okay.
24:08All right, so just stay right here.
24:09I'm going to grab it, okay?
24:10Okay.
24:11Okay.
24:12All right, cool.
24:13Last week, I actually said that I was surface level, so I wanted to show her a different
24:16side of me.
24:17I guarantee this is something that she's never done before and is going to blow her mind.
24:21So, I'm not sure if you ever tried this.
24:22No.
24:23This has got a one wheel.
24:24So, I brought the helmet.
24:25So, we'll step down a little bit, and I'll show you what we're doing first.
24:29He brought this hoverboard with one wheel.
24:32I was like, oh, I like it.
24:34I know you would.
24:35I know you would.
24:36Okay, let me try.
24:37You're different.
24:38You're different.
24:39I love, like, adventurous stuff, and that just showed me he have a fun side.
24:42Oh, it's turning on.
24:43Wait, I lean this way.
24:44Okay, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
24:45Yeah, lean back, lean back, lean back, lean back, lean back, lean back.
24:47Okay, lean back.
24:48Oh, my God.
24:49I'm sorry.
24:50I'll just get you real quick.
24:51Hold on, hold on.
24:52I'll just get you real quick.
24:53Hold on, hold on.
24:54You cucked my ass.
24:55I was trying to make sure you don't fall.
24:56It's okay.
24:57But it needs to be up here.
24:58Okay.
24:59There was nothing intentional.
25:01I didn't want to make sure that she fell on the concrete.
25:04So, Jesus took the wheel.
25:08There we go.
25:09Woo!
25:10Wait, but how do I go by myself?
25:11Um, we gonna need some time.
25:13Woo!
25:14I got you.
25:15I got you.
25:16I got you.
25:17Keep going.
25:18All right, all right, all right, all right, all right.
25:20Oh, my God.
25:21We got, like, more time.
25:23You broke it in.
25:24You did a great job.
25:29How's the heat?
25:30Are you good?
25:31Are you feeling cool?
25:32I'm okay right now.
25:33You're good?
25:34When I get a little, when I start shivering, you know what to do.
25:35Okay.
25:37Warm me up.
25:38Yes.
25:39Me and Bello have a strong connection.
25:42Not only do we have a physical attraction, we have mentally connected.
25:46So, I was interested in seeing if he thinks the work moving in the right direction.
25:50Can I ask you a question?
25:51Go ahead.
25:52What do you feel like is your timeline?
25:55Obviously, you're ready for a relationship.
25:57That's why you're here.
25:59But, in this process, I'm not dating to date.
26:04I'm dating for a purpose.
26:07And I don't have to be married, but I want to be.
26:11This time, I'm doing it.
26:12We getting dressed for two things.
26:13It's either going to be a...
26:17Getting dressed for two things?
26:18What are the two things?
26:19It's either going to be a wedding or a funeral.
26:20Somebody dying around this .
26:22Play with somebody else.
26:23Don't play with me.
26:24Play in traffic.
26:25I ain't trying to go to no funeral, especially not my own.
26:30So, I definitely prefer to be in a wedding.
26:34In terms of marriage, I think I need, like, at least two years.
26:39I think two years.
26:40That's good.
26:41Yeah.
26:42And the reason for that is just, like, I want to get to know you.
26:46I'm just saying that, you know, it takes time to get to know somebody.
26:50You don't wish greatness.
26:52You just let it happen.
26:54I love that.
26:59You seem always to be very sure.
27:02I'm very attracted to that.
27:11I feel like the more time I'm spending with Dominique, the more, you know, the other ladies are starting to fall back.
27:18We've been consistent.
27:19The chemistry is amazing.
27:21The conversation is amazing.
27:22And it feels familiar.
27:27Let's go.
27:30Oh, that felt good.
27:31I ain't gonna lie.
27:32You don't like the heat.
27:33Well, I love the heat.
27:34You're feeling the heat.
27:35I love the heat.
27:41So far, so good at the getaway.
27:51Everybody is getting along.
27:53And I'm just super excited that we all were able to get cute.
27:57You look amazing.
27:58Look amazing.
27:59And come down to dinner so that we could eat as a family.
28:02Let's eat.
28:03Look at this food.
28:08Well, let's dig in.
28:10Yeah.
28:11Let's eat.
28:12I'm gonna need one of them biscuits, too.
28:13See that Tony turns out.
28:14Hot butter biscuits.
28:15I got a serious question.
28:17Oh, God.
28:18So out of curiosity, what is something new that you learned about yourselves actually going through this process?
28:24Great question.
28:25That I'm a f***ing prude, apparently.
28:27No.
28:28You're a prude.
28:30Break that down.
28:31Apparently.
28:32Because I will hear, like, the other ladies talk about, like, the conversations they've had with people and the way they've opened up.
28:37And I'm always behind.
28:38I'm like, dang.
28:39What are y'all doing that I'm not?
28:42You might have been moved a little slower with it, but you were right on time.
28:45Yeah, maybe.
28:46You were right on time.
28:47Who next?
28:48What I've learned about myself is that I definitely prejudge way more than I thought.
28:55So I'm definitely gonna be more open to getting to know people for who they are.
29:01That's real.
29:02That was good.
29:03Who next?
29:04I jump in.
29:05All right, Cardi.
29:06Let's go.
29:07This is what I learned.
29:08This process is not definitely easy.
29:10Your best attributes, the things that make you you that you believe that are going to make you super valuable, everybody isn't going to appreciate it.
29:17All of your connections may not appreciate it.
29:19People are going to view you to be however, you know, in their particular mind.
29:24But if our mind is still focused on what we feel that we want, we may miss it.
29:28We may miss the boat.
29:34But what did you learn?
29:35Yeah, what did you learn?
29:37Because you say in a speech, we go to church.
29:39No, I'm saying this is what I learned.
29:41What did you learn about yourself?
29:43No, this is what I'm telling you.
29:45That's why we call you shallow.
29:47Oh.
29:48Because it's like we're not getting you.
29:51We want to know how is it with you.
29:54But that relates 100% to myself.
29:58You've got to listen to what they're saying, man.
30:00You've got to listen.
30:01These are the people that we're trying to have a connection with.
30:05Yeah.
30:06You can't go on the defensive.
30:08I'm not going on the defensive.
30:10But I'm just saying, like, I feel that I am not totally understood as to how deep I am when it can swim.
30:21Right?
30:22I can save somebody.
30:23Right?
30:24You're talking in metaphors, though.
30:25Like...
30:26But that's me, though.
30:27I am a metaphor.
30:28I do not think Cardi is shallow.
30:29We've had deep conversations that me and him had talked about privately.
30:32Hearing that I'm shallow, it's like, how it's way?
30:35But he ain't being open to everyone else in the process.
30:52And, you know, at this point, it's kind of late in the game when, you know, people have already done that.
30:58This has been an amazing dinner, people.
30:59Yes.
31:00I'm going to slip into a little something more comfortable.
31:03Pajama time.
31:04Yes.
31:05I'm great.
31:06I'm great.
31:07We turn.
31:08Is this making sure?
31:09Oh, yeah.
31:10No.
31:11All right.
31:12It won.
31:13Yeah.
31:14Come on, now.
31:15All right.
31:16Let's do this.
31:17All night, baby.
31:18Love me all night.
31:19Dancing in the moonlight.
31:20Dream of you.
31:21Ah.
31:22Ah.
31:23Ah.
31:24Oh.
31:25That's different.
31:26Same now.
31:27You want me to show up?
31:29Ooh, it is chilly.
31:30Once you get next to the fire, you'll feel warm.
31:31Oh, yeah, it is warm.
31:32See?
31:33So we get some time alone.
31:34Mm-hmm.
31:35How your day been going?
31:36I feel like the day flew.
31:37You think so?
31:38I can't even believe it's dark.
31:39Right now, when it comes to mine and Ashanti's connection, I do have a stronger connection with Dominique,
31:53but it doesn't mean that we can't build and establish and surpass that connection.
31:59It's not about time.
32:00It's about intensity.
32:02So, after our last two dates, do you feel like our connections changed?
32:08My friends was a little worried.
32:09Oh, yeah.
32:10Same word.
32:11I mean, you know how I feel about Islam?
32:13Guys, he's going to want you to convert, period.
32:16I feel like he's just saying that now, and I feel like if y'all ever get serious, he's
32:20going to want you to change over, and it's going to be something totally different.
32:23Talk to me.
32:25I just am worried that one day you're going to wake up and be like, Ashanti, you've got
32:30to convert.
32:31No, I'm not like that.
32:34I wouldn't just wake up and be like, you've got to do this.
32:36For me, it's the kids.
32:38I have to make sure that I impart the religion on my children.
32:42It's just interesting how you claim a religion, but I don't.
32:48But when it comes to the core value or the bottom line, how we should think, how we should
32:55maneuver in daily life, we agree on all of that.
32:59Absolutely, yeah.
33:00Because that was literally, when I say that was their biggest concern, but they definitely
33:03liked your energy.
33:05What about my drawing?
33:07Did you take the drawing home?
33:08Yes, I did.
33:09You did?
33:10Yeah.
33:11It really made me realize that I miss painting.
33:16Really?
33:17When I was a kid, I used to love to draw.
33:18My mom's an accountant and my dad's a lawyer, right?
33:20I told her, I want to be an artist.
33:22And she's like, no, you should be a lawyer like your father or an architect or this or
33:27that.
33:28I literally, like I'm not even kidding, that same week I stopped drawing.
33:30Do you kind of regret putting the pen down?
33:33You know, I feel like everything happens for a reason.
33:36The one thing I feel is that I could use a drawing as an outlet.
33:41Something I never thought about.
33:43So at this point, I am connecting with Steve, Bello, and Cardi.
33:47And I'm really feeling Bello right now because I feel like we're able to peel back some layers,
33:51we have deeper conversations, and we actually have conversations of substance.
33:56So I'm really feeling that.
33:58Like, just sitting with you, I now feel like I have a new outlet.
34:03Because when you're with me, darling, you know what we're so good.
34:12Vince, when are we going to have our little chat?
34:14We've flown in all through the road.
34:18By the end of day one, my connection with Bello is literally hanging by a thread.
34:23And prior to coming on this getaway, Vince and I were not on the best of terms.
34:30Knowing that one of the women will be eliminated, stakes are high now.
34:34So I hope we can have some type of resolution.
34:37I was very excited for you to meet my friends.
34:40And I just hate that it went so left.
34:45And I just wanted to make sure that we at least had some type of, like, communication
34:51and not just act like that didn't happen.
34:53I thought that we were past the conversation because I just answered a question.
34:58And I wasn't trying to be mean or smart.
35:00I really wanted to know.
35:01That was my real question.
35:02You said it's not none of my business.
35:03If somebody is asking your height, that's such a surface-level question.
35:05It is.
35:06Like, in my mind, I would never go deep.
35:07Like, what would be the reason?
35:08Why does she want?
35:09It's just a simple, oh, I'm six feet.
35:10It's not deep when I answer it and we move on.
35:13But when I answer it and then there's more behind it, now I'm not understanding why are
35:18we even still here?
35:19I don't think that that part of the conversation should have had that much weight.
35:23So when they asked me the question and I answered it, do you think that should have
35:27been it?
35:28Not if they didn't want it to be.
35:30So they can do that.
35:32They can go on and on.
35:33But when I do it, they...
35:35Listen, listen.
35:36My issue is with you because I felt so uncomfortable.
35:40And I was like, dang, this is not a good first impression right now.
35:43For you to say your friends had zero accountability for what happened, that was completely unfair.
35:51Me and Lauren have had our ups and downs.
35:55This argument is really, really showing me a side that I haven't seen from her.
36:01Obviously, I would like to see eye to eye with her in this situation and situations in the future.
36:06But I just don't know if we're going to be able to move forward.
36:10I didn't want that to happen.
36:12I disagree.
36:13And it's okay.
36:14Okay.
36:15Welcome back.
36:16You're welcome back.
36:17I am Mr.
36:18Tensh pit on freedom.
36:18tutoring.
36:19Teppin' up.
36:20Yeah.

36:23Steppin' up.
36:24Yeah, we steppin' up.
36:25Steppin.
36:26Yeah, we stepping up.
36:27I want it back.
36:28Are you ready?
36:29Day two.
36:30Waking up in the morning, I wanted to prepare for everybody this luxurious breakfast gourmet
36:38meal, because I wanted to show my Chef Boyardee skills.
36:42I guess we're doing our toast to long-lasting friendships.
36:45There we go, long-lasting friendships, baby.
36:47I like connections.
36:48Let's see, what about connections?
36:49Cheers.
36:50Let's eat.
36:51Who wants some potatoes?
36:52Y'all so bougie.
36:53Seafood for breakfast is crazy.
36:55Where did everybody sleep last night?
36:57Mm-hmm.
36:58Dang.
37:01Um.
37:02You want to go first?
37:03Mm-mm.
37:04Don't start.
37:06I didn't sleep with anyone.
37:09Cardi was the guest in my room, but it was very PG.
37:13Where'd you sleep?
37:14Don't tell my business.
37:15We didn't even business.
37:16We was everybody was sharing.
37:17I don't give a damn.
37:18Oh, come on.
37:19Where did y'all sleep?
37:20It's two beds.
37:21Steve has one.
37:22I have one.
37:23I slept in my bed.
37:24You slept alone in your bed?
37:25Alone in my bed.
37:26Okay.
37:27Unless Steve came over there when I was sleeping.
37:29I didn't know nothing about it, but other than that.
37:31No, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
37:33All that.
37:34Stop, stop.
37:35Bello.
37:36Mm.
37:37Where'd you sleep at?
37:38By yourself?
37:39Don't lie.
37:40Dang.
37:41Y'all are messy as hell.
37:44He said what he said.
37:45Mm.
37:46Any bedtime stories you want to share with me?
37:49Absolutely not.
37:50I'm a lady.
37:51I slept in my bed.
37:53That I bit.
37:55Donna, where did you sleep?
37:56Because I was looking for you and I couldn't find you.
37:58Oh, my God.
37:59Oh, this is so cute.
38:00So, like, yeah.
38:01These are succulents.
38:02Succulents.
38:03There we go.
38:04Oh.
38:05Y'all must not have known that we was going to paint,
38:06because y'all got some immaculate clothing on.
38:09The main part of this is that we are going to design a pot, give it to your connection,
38:22and hopefully with, like, something sort of personal in mind.
38:25Okay, Professor Steve.
38:26Let's go.
38:27Yeah, yeah, yeah.
38:28That's how we get down to the classroom.
38:29Okay.
38:30I like this.
38:31Oh.
38:32Show me how you feel.
38:33Show me how you feel.
38:34Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
38:37You got that for somebody.
38:38You got it.
38:39I like it.
38:40I like it together.
38:41It's very...
38:42It's very pretty.
38:43It is.
38:44I love it.
38:45I already know who it's for.
38:46Me too.
38:47Is that for daddy?
38:48I'm not going to answer that right now.
38:49Okay.
38:50All right.
38:59We got company.
39:00Huh?
39:01Somebody just walked in the door.
39:02What up, what up?
39:03What up?
39:04How about it good?
39:05That's good.
39:06Oh.
39:07How much?
39:08Okay, I'll see you.
39:09Tommy in the house.
39:11Move.
39:12Move.
39:13All right.
39:14The love-seeking Detroit.
39:15How's the first night together?
39:16Good?
39:17Good.
39:18It was lit.
39:19All fun aside, fellas, y'all are well aware.
39:23Today, y'all got some tough decisions to make.
39:26Yes, sir.
39:27Right?
39:28One of these ladies' journey must come to an end today.
39:33The Grim Reaper has arrived to snatch his soul
39:36and take him back home with him.
39:38Every time we having a good time, here comes Tommy.
39:41All right.
39:42Let's get to it, because somebody had their last supper last night.
39:45Oh, goodness.
39:47Gee.
39:48Gentlemen, follow me.
39:49Let's get it.
39:50I'm extremely nervous.
39:52My connections with Vince and Bello are really rocky, and I immediately regret the way that I've been moving in this house.
40:01All right, fellas.
40:02I actually am shaking in my boots, because I'm worried about my connection with Steven.
40:07Maybe I could be misinterpreting something, and maybe he doesn't feel the same.
40:12So, my heart is racing.
40:14Y'all be good.
40:15Y'all heading the game.
40:16Y'all keep it classy?
40:17Yeah.
40:18Keep it beautiful?
40:19Next time on Ready to Love, the fellas feel you are not ready to love.
40:28Finding love is not easy, and sometimes hard decisions have to be made.
40:32So, this week, ladies, the power to eliminate is back in your hands.
40:37Zero in on finding the one.
40:40What's going on with you?
40:42Going on with you?
40:44Oh, I didn't know!
40:46Damn!
40:47Them jingle blocks are all out of here.
40:49Being friends is just not enough for me.
40:51I need the full package.
40:52This date, for me, is kind of going to make us or break us.
40:55I want to see if he can apply the pressure.
40:57I get it over here.
40:59Over here, Ashanti.
41:00Try to hit her with, like, something bright, you know what I'm saying?
41:03Also, this is Ashanti.
41:05When Steve gives out several plants, and none of them was mine, I'm a little disappointed.
41:10Any more?
41:11This is it, you know what I'm saying?
41:12The worst part of the getaway is definitely navigating all the connections that I have right now.
