00:00Previously on Bell Collective.
00:02Are you thinking about dating somebody else?
00:04I'm outside.
00:05I'm ready for the next catch.
00:06If you put on that red lipstick and put on that little bodysuit,
00:09you're going to meet your man.
00:10I promise you that.
00:11I went to have a conversation with a financial advisor.
00:14We talked about post nuptial.
00:16A post what?
00:17She's going to speak to a financial advisor.
00:20So I decided to go talk to an attorney as well.
00:23Could you explain to me exactly what a post nuptial is?
00:27I would like to welcome everybody to the Creator Collective.
00:31Today we are going to do a little friendly competition.
00:35What does this have to do with pushing the product?
00:38I don't know.
00:39It'll be over in the middle.
00:40Let's be clear.
00:41Y'all don't need me to start drunk.
00:43Y'all got situations where y'all don't like each other.
00:57Ain't no room for hating.
00:59Cause I ain't ever changing.
01:00Can't nobody bring me down.
01:03Hey, ladies.
01:04Welcome in.
01:06Always such a good smell in here.
01:08Oh, thank you.
01:09At the end of the week, the Bells are planning this speed date for Marie.
01:13Bring two friends.
01:15Two.
01:15For Marie.
01:16Single.
01:18So we're going to style her up, honey, so that she can be ready and fresh
01:22and vibrant for her contestants.
01:29Yup, hashtag all star.
01:31Pretty girl in the fresh new sports car.
01:33Feeling cute, you can come take a ride.
01:35It don't matter if you're purple, pink, or white.
01:41Let's go.
01:43Oh, aren't you cute.
01:45Hey.
01:46How are you?
01:47You look so cute.
01:48You too.
01:49Oh, my girl.
01:50I love this.
01:52I've worked in fashion.
01:54We have an online boutique, my daughters and I, so this is right up my alley.
01:58This is a fun day.
02:00I get to style Marie, and I need a mental break away from my wedding.
02:05See, that look like Marie.
02:07But see, Marie will probably grab this and put some tights on.
02:10Some videos.
02:10We ain't doing no tights.
02:11No body suit.
02:12Please, no body suit.
02:14Number one, Ruth.
02:14She the body suit queen.
02:16With the thigh boots.
02:17No, no, no.
02:18Uh-uh.
02:18Not for the first date.
02:19No.
02:22That's my crew.
02:24Tell them that's my crew.
02:27Screaming, that's my crew.
02:29Baby, that's my, baby, that's my, that's my crew.
02:34Hi, ladies.
02:36Hi.

02:39Mwah.
02:41Mwah.
02:41Mwah.
02:42You look so good.
02:43Y'all do too.
02:44After the Cedric of it all, I am ready to get back out there and start dating.
02:50And Leticia and Selena are taking me shopping to style me.
02:55I am very nervous.
02:57Oh, I hope they not gonna give me something grandmommy-ish.
03:01Oh, look at this little cute skirt.
03:05Oh, my God, Marie.
03:07The cutest thing ever.
03:09Oh, that skirt is so pretty and so.
03:11We just gotta make sure we have your size.
03:13Make sure it's long enough to cover.
03:15Yeah, this looks a little big, but.
03:16You know, the cheeks back there.
03:18This looks a little big for you, but that's cute.
03:20Well, what kind of shirt feeling like a color?
03:22You think like a pink?
03:23Yeah, I think a pink shirt.
03:25I wanna see Marie with a cute little dress on with some colors, maybe some little flowers.
03:32You know, just something just real nice and inviting in a good way.
03:36Okay, what?
03:37Hold up.
03:38Now that you're getting back into dating, I have a few rules for you, honey.
03:42Rule number one, no bodysuits.
03:46No, no, no, no.
03:47Okay.
03:48Rule number two, don't be on your phone while you sitting at the table with him.
03:53Rule number three, don't start talking about Cedric or your ex and holiday.
03:57Have a light conversation so you can learn about him and he can learn about you.
04:02See if y'all have like that little connection.
04:04Okay.
04:05I'm willing to go along with all of this just as long as the goal is to find me a
04:11man.
04:12So what are your concerns?
04:14I am nervous about, you know, going on a date because I have not gone on a date.
04:18Mm-hmm.
04:18It's been a minute now.
04:19He gonna be nervous too.
04:21Yes.
04:21Let me go try on some clothes.
04:23Let us see them too, Marie, please.
04:25We don't want Marie to wear no bodysuit, no boots, no jeans.
04:30She need to have on something with some colors, something that's lively, something different.
04:34Out of her element.
04:37Oh!
04:38Oh!
04:41Oh!
04:42Now that look grandmamish.
04:43That look like a robe that you wear at the house.
04:45Marie!
04:45It's not for you!
04:48Ta-da!
04:50I love it.
04:52But y'all said no jumpsuit.
04:54You be wearing bodysuit.
04:55This is a jumpsuit.
04:56I think it's so cute.
04:57I love this.
04:59Do I look like a grandma?
05:00No!
05:01Just one more.
05:02Okay.
05:03All right.
05:03So how's the wedding planning going?
05:05Mm-hmm.
05:05I just keep changing my mind on everything.
05:08It's just so much.
05:09What do you need help on?
05:11There's just about everything.
05:12The menu and then my guest list I keep.
05:16And people then.
05:17Taking people off.
05:18You know it's just...
05:18You over-thinking.
05:19I'm over-thinking.
05:19You are over-thinking.
05:21You are stressing yourself out.
05:22I'm stressing myself out.
05:23That's exactly what I'm doing.
05:25Can Selena say that she still got some stuff to lock in for her wedding?
05:29Like, how, how?
05:30There's only a few weeks to Selena's wedding.
05:32And, honey, you are far, far, far behind.
05:35I hope and pray that Selena gets everything done by the wedding day.
05:39But right now, honey, with these two eyes, it's gonna take a village.
05:44Just so much.
05:45You can't think no more.
05:46You gotta do.
05:47Okay.
05:47I'm gonna come over later this week to help you.
05:50I will gladly accept Letitia's invitation on helping me with this wedding.
05:55Because, right now, I need all the help I can get.
05:59See?
06:00You look so cute.
06:01I was not thinking I was gonna look like that.
06:03I told you.
06:03It's so cute.
06:05It's giving first date.
06:06Grab a pair of shades right here.
06:08Ooh.
06:08Just trying to complete the look, boo.
06:11Oh!
06:13See?
06:13I don't know.
06:14I don't know.
06:15I don't know.
06:17Yeah, see?
06:18Yeah.
06:20Everything that I've tried on today, it's been good.
06:23It's nice.
06:24However, I am going to do my own thing and wear something out of my closet.
06:29All right, ladies.
06:31I'm back.
06:31This was nice.
06:32Yeah, it was.
06:34It was.
06:34Were you on your journey to finding Lou?
06:37I know, right?
06:38Yeah.
06:38Did you really like it, boo?
06:40I did.
06:43I got the bounce.
06:44I got the vibe.
06:45I got the drip.
06:46It's all on me.
06:47I got the ice.
06:48Look at my neck.
06:48Look at my wrist.
06:49It's all on me.
06:50They know I'm winning.
06:51They know what they did.
06:52Look how I live.
06:53It's all on me.
06:54I do it big.
06:54It's all on me.
06:55I do it big.
06:56It's all on me.
06:59What's going on, man?
07:00What's going on, baby?
07:01Hey, what's good, my friend?
07:03What's going on?
07:03What's the deal there, man?
07:04Yeah, you know.
07:06Save old ,
07:06save old , man.
07:08I'm going to hit my dog, Mike, up, man.
07:10We come from the same places.
07:12So, you know, if I'm going to talk to somebody,
07:14I want it to be somebody that's real,
07:16somebody that can relate to me.
07:17And Mike, he's a perfect person for that.
07:20Ever since I've known him, he's kept it a hundred.
07:22I see you, boy.
07:23You got that collar loose.
07:24Yeah, yeah, yeah.
07:25Got that collar loose.
07:25I took the collar off tonight.
07:26Yeah, I know.
07:28You been dancing a little bit.
07:29I had to get out, you know what I'm saying?
07:31Get out.
07:32Clear the mind for a minute.
07:33You know what I mean?
07:34So .
07:34Okay.
07:36Here you go.
07:36I appreciate that.
07:38Hey, welcome back.
07:38I didn't know what you were going to drink.
07:39Did you want the things that you were going to drink?
07:41You want it on the rocks?
07:43Yeah.
07:43Okay.
07:44What been going on, man?
07:45Man, I'm trying to figure out, bro.
07:48You know what I mean?
07:49What?
07:50.
07:50Gotta give, bro.
07:51I got so much on my shoulders right now.
07:55It don't even make no sense.
07:56I know you about to get married , right?
07:58Yeah, thank you.
07:59We didn't get a prenup before we got married.
08:01We didn't get none of that.
08:02You going to get a prenup?
08:03No, man.
08:04I don't care nothing about that.
08:05I don't care nothing about it.
08:06You feel me?
08:07If I lose, I lose.
08:08I lose, man.
08:09The other day, she hit me with, she want me to sign a post note.
08:15What the hell is that?
08:17A post note is basically protecting all her assets if this marriage don't work.
08:27So business-wide, everything that she's brought in, everything that she's bringing to the table is still hers if we
08:33decide to go our separate ways.
08:35Trying to secure herself, I guess.
08:37I don't know.
08:37It sounds like security, right?
08:39But to me, it sounds like signs of divorce coming up, bro.
08:45You've been divorced, so what were the signs for you?
08:48I went through some .
08:49You know what I'm saying?
08:50I can't even...
08:51I kind of like the same.
08:54So y'all went through a totally different situation than what I was going through?
08:56Yeah, because y'all still at the house.
08:59It's like roommates.
09:00I wouldn't have seen an attorney.
09:02I ain't never went through no divorce or nothing, right?
09:05You ain't about to go through now, man.
09:07I don't feel like I am, but I think she really want my .
09:09She really want my attention.
09:11You know what I'm saying?
09:12I'm surprised Glenn wanted to see a divorce lawyer, because it'd be hard to turn back once you started.
09:17So I hope both of them just work it out and get everything together.
09:21Yeah, with everything going on with Glenn and Latisha, I'm still going to ride with my boy.
09:25I'm glad you came out, bro.
09:27I had to get this out of my chest, bro, so...
09:29Boy, I came all the way down the highway.
09:31You did it.
09:32I went 75.
09:34My truck don't go with 74.
09:35I went 75, too.
09:3775, too.
09:38Say less, man.
09:39Say less.
09:39It's real talk, man.
09:42Coming up on Bell Collective.
09:44It usually takes a year to, like, plan a wedding.
09:47Do you think that this is enough time?
09:49It's pushing it.
09:50It's really, really pushing it.
09:52Why y'all wait so late to lock this stuff in?
09:55I was talking to Mike, okay, and Glenn brought up a divorce lawyer.
10:01Who?
10:01Wait, what?
10:02Who, man?
10:02I don't like to see Latisha as a woman on this emotional rollercoaster.
10:09So, right now, we're gonna get a five to ten-second touch.
10:15No lip licking!
10:17No lip licking!
10:21I feel like Fergie in 2006.
10:25Everything in my life is glamorous.
10:29First class everything.
10:31Nothing less but a queen.
10:33Now I'm talking about A.
10:35I invite the ladies over today to have a little girl time and to unwind.
10:39Selena suggested yoga, so why not have yoga, drinks, food by the pool?
10:46I don't really do yoga, so I think this will be fun.
10:49I got all the boys knocking at the door.
10:52Lined up where you want them all.
10:55But it ain't easy.
10:58Knock, knock, knock!
11:01Hey!
11:03Hey!
11:04Hey, girl!
11:05Hey, girl!
11:07Mwah!
11:08Yes!
11:09Now you're gonna rock the yoga, man.
11:11Yes, yes!
11:12I'm excited!
11:14This is so cute.
11:14Do you know how to do yoga?
11:15You know what?
11:16I do meditational yoga.
11:18Okay, so we're gonna meditate and yoga.
11:20Selena, like, surprisingly, does do yoga.
11:24I cannot see it.
11:26That's what she said?
11:28Baby, I won't tell if you don't tell, uh.
11:30Baby, I won't tell I keep a secret somewhere.
11:33Baby, I won't tell if you don't tell, uh.
11:36What y'all talking about?
11:38Y'all talking about me?
11:40Hey, girl!
11:41We are talking to what?
11:43Good health.
11:44Good health.
11:45Good mindset.
11:46Good health in all things.
11:48Yeah.
11:48And champagne yoga.
11:50And champagne yoga.
11:51Okay.
11:53And then you breathe in through your nose, out through your mouth, okay?
11:59Just listen to the water and listen to the birds.
12:07This is probably the most peace we're gonna have in the collective.
12:10It's right here and right now, okay?
12:12Okay.
12:13I love you, ladies.
12:14We love you, too.
12:17We're in this way, and we're just gonna bend.
12:21We're gonna open up those hips.
12:23Oh.
12:24And we go...
12:24Okay.
12:29Oh, we have to hold it?
12:32We gotta hold it.
12:33One, two, three.
12:34Okay, go.
12:35One, two, three.
12:37That was the quickest hold ever.
12:39With my history of health issues, the blood clots, the fibroids, I can see incorporating this into my daily life.
12:47And with all the drama that's been swarming around in the collective, it is definitely nice to stretch, breathe, and
12:54relax.
12:54Okay.
12:55We have to talk about Carrie's event, girl.
12:57Sure do.
12:57Okay.
12:58Yes.
12:59Hold this up.
13:00Do you mean me and Carrie's event?
13:02Yes.
13:03Thank you, friend.
13:04Yeah, I said Selena's in the middle.
13:05You put it right here in front of me.
13:06Yes.
13:07I enjoyed it.
13:07It was fun.
13:08You know, I love to see people coming together and having a good time.
13:10Yes.
13:12Clinkle, clinkle, little boy.
13:14Now I wonder what you are.
13:18Hey!
13:19Yeah!
13:21Leticia and Marie behind us.
13:23Oh, boy.
13:23The only thing that they have...
13:24What was this?
13:25Y'all didn't have to do with pushing apart it.
13:27I don't know.
13:28It'll be over in a minute.
13:30The thing was, it was planned last minute.
13:33So you don't know the complete picture until you actually get there.
13:36When it comes to Leticia and Marie, the whole thing is just petty.
13:40At some point, I do hope that the Bells can leave that type of energy alone.
13:45So remember, you're supposed to be finding me an officiant.
13:48You told me you found one.
13:49Yes.
13:50But he's not gonna be able to do it.
13:52But I have one now.
13:53Latrice called her mom's pastor.
13:56And he's gonna do the wedding.
13:58He's gonna do the wedding.
13:59Awesome.
14:00So yeah, so I'm so excited.
14:02So thank you for him.
14:03Girl, listen, teamwork.
14:04Because the wedding is right around the freaking corner.
14:08It is like tomorrow.
14:09It feels like it.
14:10Yeah.
14:10I'm really glad that I can help Selena find an officiant because honestly,
14:14I've been feeling a little left out of the whole wedding planning process.
14:18Selena puts a lot on herself, even though it stresses her out.
14:21I honestly believe that she's more behind than what she's actually telling us.
14:27While I have you both here, I want to talk to y'all about something I heard.
14:31I'm wondering if Latisha know about this because I was talking to Mike.
14:36Okay.
14:37And Glenn brought up a divorce lawyer.
14:40Oh, wait, what, who then?
14:42I said, man, I think my wife trying to split, trying to roll out.
14:46They probably gonna see a divorce lawyer or something.
14:48A what?
14:49Probably gonna be all right.
14:50I don't know if it's gonna be all right or not.
14:52I think he probably think Latisha is probably trying to move on.
14:56Look, I heard Tisha saying that when she left Glenn, he left her with like $4.
15:01When I left Glenn the first time, I couldn't even buy me a hamburger.
15:08My cousin told me when I called her, I said, I have $4 and some chains.
15:12Mmm.
15:13What would make you go back to a man that left you with $4?
15:17I am all for working on your marriage.
15:20Yes.
15:21Beautiful marriage, successful marriage, you stand to make it work.
15:23What I am not for is trying to encourage someone to stay in a toxic marriage that is not what
15:30you need it to be.
15:31And it's toxic. It's toxic at this point.
15:33Right.
15:33If you're not building while you're in that marriage and it's hurting you more than it's helping you,
15:41why would we support that?
15:43We love to see black love, especially in our community.
15:45But we should also want to see healthy love.
15:50I don't like to see Latisha as a woman on this emotional rollercoaster.
15:57I would think Latisha would file for divorce before Glenn.
16:00Oh!
16:01I need to have a talk with Latisha.
16:03Whatever Latisha and Glenn decides to do, if they want to stay together, I'm going to support them.
16:09If they want to get a divorce, I'm going to support them. I'm going to be there for my friend.
16:13Let Mike stay clear away from Glendale, because if he's putting it in his head...
16:18I know. We are planning a wedding.
16:19Yes!
16:21We are 30 days away!
16:25Coming up on Bell Collective.
16:27My dad is a great listener, and he's a straight shooter.
16:32I guess they didn't feel like I was submissive and soft enough.
16:35Do you feel like I'm soft?
16:36Or do you feel like I'm a whore?
17:00Hey, hey.
17:01What's up, girl?
17:02How are you?
17:03Man, things doing good, man.
17:05How you doing?
17:06I'm doing.
17:07I'm doing.
17:08I'm doing.
17:08My father and I talk every single day. Every day.
17:13However, we don't get a chance to do a lot of one-on-one, because my children and grandkids
17:18are always present.
17:20So today, I am meeting my father for lunch.
17:23My dad is a great listener. He's an advisor, and he's a straight shooter. He don't sugarcoat.
17:30He tell me things that I need to hear and not things that I want to hear.
17:34Where you coming from practice?
17:36Coming from practice. Another good day.
17:38Yeah.
17:38You know, we'll play tomorrow. You know, the girls did well today.
17:41Traveling a lot lately with the girls. Basketball teams.
17:45Yeah. I'm proud of them, you know.
17:48I know you are.
17:49Yeah, it's been a long season, but, you know, they all just want to be the best version of themselves.
17:53Mm-hmm.
17:54You know, how you been doing?
17:55You know, over the last few weeks, it's been, man, it's been rough.
18:00I've been really going through, like, very, with my white blood cell count being low.
18:05My numbers just went out of, just crazy, just out of whack.
18:08I've been very, you know, fatigued, tired, can't get out of bed. Just, I've been in bad shape.
18:16Just remember, you know, to take care of yourself, you know. Everything else is going to be okay.
18:22I've been dealing with a lot of health issues lately.
18:24I have some cysts in my breast that I need to have removed.
18:28And I have planned to have those removed in the springtime.
18:33It's not that I'm prioritizing my businesses over my health.
18:38It's just, right now, there's still a lot of work to be done.
18:43Did I mention to you that we're opening up a new facility in Pearl?
18:48These are therapy rooms.
18:50Okay. How many therapy rooms you have?
18:52About 22 rooms.
18:54Oh, girl. This place is huge.
18:57We haven't did the grand opening yet, but it's coming up.
19:00Did you ever think that Hamilton Davis Home Care and then Hamilton Davis Mental Health,
19:04when we first started those businesses, did you think it would equate to this level of success?
19:09No.
19:09To confidence.
19:10Let me tell you something. When I knew that you all had made it.
19:14Our first billboard. We got that billboard.
19:16Yeah, your first billboard, and your picture was up there.
19:20I said, well, I'll be doggone.
19:21My dad has been a major help in supporting me with my boys throughout the years.
19:29I could not have excelled in my businesses nor in school without the support of my father.
19:36I'm turning 46 in a few days.
19:38Right.
19:39When I reflect over my life and I look at these big companies I've built, not many people from where
19:47we from can say that they have two successful multi-million dollar healthcare businesses.
19:55And I told Jay, when I was your age, I said, Jay, how are you 27? Right?
20:00He was like, yeah. I said, okay, I was a millionaire.
20:02Mm-hmm.
20:03In my 20s.
20:04So, with that being said, you know, I had been talking to Jay, he would like to start a business.
20:10Mm-hmm.
20:11Um, he wanted to do a dispensary.
20:14How would you feel about something like that?
20:16With the type of business you want to start, a dispensary, where's the capital going to come from?
20:23And I explained to him, I said, you know, entrepreneurship is hard.
20:28You know, it requires consistency, discipline, sacrifices, and everything, and it's not for the weak.
20:35But it just makes sense for all of my children to learn what it is that I do on the
20:41home health side and on the mental health side,
20:44to position themselves to be able to reinvest in their dream.
20:50Right.
20:50You know, carrying on, it's a legacy.
20:53Get all your children in there.
20:54Right.
20:55And let them all be a part of that.
20:57And just share your vision with them, you know what I'm saying?
21:00My dad is right about getting all my children together to talk to them at one time about my legacy.
21:07I want them to understand what I built and what it takes to keep it running in the future.
21:13So the Bells, right, they's putting together this kind of like, uh, this little speed dating thing
21:19to introduce me to some different guys, different types, to see what it is that I like.
21:24So what kind of guy do you imagine your daughter dating?
21:30Because when I date, I'm looking for somebody like, you know, like,
21:33I saw the example of you and my mom when y'all was in a healthy state.
21:38Right. Life's gonna bring someone for you.
21:41Mm.
21:41If that's what God wants for you.
21:43Yeah.
21:43He gonna bring my person.
21:45He gonna bring it. Don't you go hunt that person.
21:47Right.
21:48I guess they didn't feel like I was submissive and soft enough.
21:52But I feel like women have to have a safe space to be soft.
21:58Do you feel like I'm soft? Or do you feel like I'm hard?
22:01Your dad have soft you both ways.
22:03Mm.
22:03You can't fake it. If someone's soft with you, you gonna be soft.
22:07If someone try to handle you tough, you gonna become tough.
22:10That's a perfect assessment. You're right.
22:12The story ain't no way.
22:13Mm-mm. For now.
22:15I'm back outside.
22:17I'd have had you sitting here and talked you to death.
22:19I enjoyed it. I have enjoyed it.
22:21Let's see.
22:24Coming up on Bell Collective.
22:26So what are the things that's not together?
22:29The ceremony design.
22:31What's the wildest place you've ever hooked up?
22:35What?
22:36Woo!
22:38Woo!
22:39Woo!
22:39Woo!
22:40Woo!
22:40Woo!
22:41Woo!
22:43I wanna go outside and take a long walk.
22:45Let's run.
22:48Yeah.
22:48Check in, talk to myself, if I'm a beast.
22:52My wedding is weeks away.
22:54And the pressure is on.
22:57My wedding planner is in local.
22:58So I need to get Ms. Stacey on the phone so we can get everything in order.
23:06Hello, how you doing?
23:08I'm doing good, how are you?
23:10I'm doing okay, trying to get all of this stuff over to you.
23:16Stressing out like always.
23:18I know we have the bridal shower coming up.
23:20And then for the wedding, the last thing I sent you was the order of service.
23:25And before you get it printed, I'm able to proofread everything correctly.
23:31Yeah, you are able to do, look at the rough draft, but you know, you only have that date because
23:36we're already, you know, we're already, it's crunch time.
23:40You know, because the order of service is something that we should have pretty much already had.
23:45Uh-huh.
23:47Nana!
23:49Yes.
23:50Hold on, Ms. Stacey.
23:51Tisha, is that you?
23:52Hi!
23:53I'm on the phone with Ms. Stacey.
23:55Oh, hey, Ms. Stacey!
23:56Tisha, right here.
23:57Hey!
23:59Hi, are you?
24:00Fine, how are you?
24:02Hey!
24:03So y'all discussing business, okay?
24:05Girl, yes, because I am a total wreck.
24:07I introduced Selena to Ms. Stacey at my Friendsgiving brunch.
24:11Yeah, hi, baby.
24:12Hey, Ms. Stacey.
24:13Ms. Stacey has designed several of my brunches.
24:16She is a people pleaser, and she will go over and beyond to make sure her client is happy.
24:22But Selena needs a little bit of a push, so I need to help her get to the finish line.
24:28I was telling Selena.
24:30It usually take a year or so to plan a wedding.
24:32We still don't have everything together.
24:35So what are the things that's not together?
24:37The ceremony design.
24:40So we know what the reception hall design is, but she hadn't finalized the design as far as...
24:46How the wedding gonna...
24:47How the...
24:48We got...
24:48What the...
24:49Because I was trying to change it so that the chapel would have, like, the boho look.
24:53And then in the reception hall, I want it to be glam.
24:56So it's gonna be, like, two totally different looks.
25:00Oh, God.
25:01Selena can't make her mind up as to what you want.
25:04And I've been saying it.
25:05She's got so much stuff, and she sends all these things at one time.
25:09And that got us way behind schedule.
25:11Yeah, because you gotta order the stuff?
25:14Yeah.
25:15Oh, my God.
25:16Why y'all wait so late to lock this stuff in?
25:19Girl.
25:21What is happening?
25:23I had no idea how much Selena had left to do.
25:27Selena, what is the problem?
25:30I just wanted to be big.
25:31I wanted to be memorable.
25:33I wanted to be special.
25:35And so it's driving me insane.
25:37And Miss Stacey, we done been head to head, and we both have been stressed completely out.
25:42How many times I don't cry out on the phone with you and don't have a breakdown?
25:45Well, I know.
25:46That's why I'm asking Miss Stacey.
25:48It usually takes a year to, like, plan a wedding.
25:51Do you think that this is enough time?
25:53It's, I mean, it's, it's, it's pushing it.
25:56It's really, really pushing it.
25:58I have to make this work.
26:00I always wanted my wedding on the fourth month, the fourth date, four o'clock on a Saturday.
26:06Every time I look around, I see 444.
26:09It's my angel numbers.
26:10I have so many angels that are watching over me.
26:13I don't want to have my wedding on April 4th of next year,
26:17because it's going to be on a Sunday.
26:19Either we're going to get married on this date, or we're not.
26:22I'm just going to try to make those deadlines and just try to move forward.
26:26And then we will see each other at the, the bridal shower.
26:29All right, bye-bye.
26:30What the heck, Selena?
26:33You got no time.
26:34Don't even just pick out.
26:35No time.
26:36Go any minute, mighty mode and say, I want this design.
26:38Pick out this design and go from there.
26:41I feel bad for Selena, especially with everything she don't have for her wedding.
26:46This is crazy to me.
26:48This led in the game.
26:50But right now, we cannot lose focus.
26:53Talk to Mike.
26:53Speaking of Mike, what?
26:55I want to know his thoughts with all this chaos.
26:58Mike don't let nothing worry him.
27:00He just like, it's going to work out, and that's it.
27:03So he just like, whatever.
27:04With all this wedding planning, I have to get together.
27:07I don't even want to bring up anything that has to do with Glenn telling Mike about a divorce lawyer.
27:13My main focus right now is getting this wedding together.
27:17I'm excited about the wedding.
27:19I'm here, Selena, if you need me.
27:21Everything is like, do now.
27:23I have faith.
27:27Coming up on The Collective.
27:30So I think they went out and had some drinks.
27:32And so Mike told me about the conversation.
27:36And divorce came.
27:38A divorce lawyer.
27:41This beat really make me move.
27:43Everybody on the dance floor groove.
27:45All my friends looking at me like, ooh, she got that step on two.
27:49Yeah, I'm feeling you, baby.
27:51Yeah, I'm feeling you low.
27:54Yeah, I'm feeling you way.
27:55But the question is, can you dance or not?
27:58Today we are at the Mississippi E-Center at Jackson State University.
28:01And I chose the E-Center because I just had my focus group here, and the people were so nice.
28:07The Bells are putting on a dating event for Marie tonight.
28:11In the past, when I've tried to set Marie up, it didn't go so well.
28:15Things have actually set you up on a blind date.
28:19Call me play.
28:20Oh, my God.
28:21I'm hosting tonight.
28:23But the other Bells, they are each bringing bachelors for Marie.
28:45All the bachelors are waiting in another room, and we're going to bring them in once we start the game.
28:52Let me say something.
28:53Marie is nice when she got a man.
28:55That's why we want her to have a man.
28:57That's right.
28:58And a backup, and a backup, and another backup.
29:01That's right.
29:02What I want is what I get.
29:05Live my life with no regrets.
29:06And I stop there, there's no end.
29:09Watch me.
29:10Are y'all ready for Marie?
29:12Yeah!
29:18Yeah!
29:20Yeah!
29:22Yeah!
29:22Yeah!
29:23Yeah!
29:25I don't know really what to expect, but what I do know, I have my daughter attending this date night
29:30with me, so she can be in support of me.
29:33What better person to bring along with me than my daughter?
29:36So, Amber, do you direct your mama Marie to where she's going to be sent to?
29:41Okay.
29:42So, we personally know these men.
29:44Yes!
29:45Are you excited?
29:47I am!
29:48Okay.
29:48Okay.
29:49Oh, not covering my eyes!
29:51We don't want you to see!
29:53So, each of us, well, not me, each of our the eligible bachelor that we think could be a great
29:59match for you.
30:00Whenever you're not feeling a connection, all you have to do is ring the bell, and they're out.
30:07The man who remains at the end will win a one-on-one date with you sponsored by Fondren Taste.
30:15Oh!
30:16Okay, Marie!
30:17So, Marie!
30:18I thought you better pick mine.
30:19So, Marie!
30:20Wrap applause on that.
30:21Are you ready to ring the bell?
30:27I am excited.
30:28I am nervous.
30:30I have the jitter bugs in my stomach.
30:32I have an open mind, a clear mind.
30:34Not being judgmental.
30:36Hell, I can't even see.
30:38Bachelor number one.
30:40Musician, 44 years old.
30:42A James Bond enthusiast with a heart of gold.
30:47Should have brought my fans.
30:48Bachelor number two.
30:5028-year-old personal trainer and actor.
30:55Uh-huh.
30:55Despite his impressive physique, he's a nerd at his core.
31:01That's me.
31:02Bachelor number three.
31:0436-year-old visual artist.
31:08Oh!
31:09Bachelor number four.
31:1134-year-old principal.
31:13Currently pursuing his PhD.
31:16Okay, now.
31:18Bachelor number five.
31:2049-year-old aerospace government contractor.
31:24Bachelor number six.
31:26Bachelor number six.
31:27Something new.
31:2739-years-old entrepreneur.
31:30Who said that they like to please.
31:35I found a way that Marie was looking at that dancer when I took her to my godson's gentleman's club.
31:41So, I just wanted to make sure that she had options.
31:46We're going to start our first round.
31:50Bachelor one.
31:51If you were a kitchen appliance, what would you be and why?
31:56I would be the refrigerator so I could keep our love fresh.
32:00Okay, okay, okay, okay.
32:02This is not Marie's first time meeting Thomas.
32:05Who was that man?
32:07He is a saxophonist.
32:15I saw how the sparks was flying and I hope that tonight is the same.
32:25Bachelor number two.
32:27If your ex is watching this, what would she warn Marie about you?
32:32It would be a good warning because I would be the best thing that ever happened to you.
32:37In all types of ways.
32:40Okay.
32:41Bachelor number three.
32:42If you cheated once and never got caught, are you confessing or taking it to the grave?
32:49It would probably worry me a little bit.
32:51So, I'll probably confess it.
32:53Hopefully, she'll give me another chance.
32:55Okay.
32:55I like that.
32:57Mm-hmm.
32:57Bachelor number four.
32:59Do you believe in 50-50 or 100-100?
33:04Man is a provider.
33:05So, that's my job to provide.
33:07I was for his responsibilities.
33:09It's 100-100.
33:10All right.
33:11Bachelor number five.
33:14What's the wildest place you've ever hooked up?
33:18My wildest place would be in the woods, in the wilderness.
33:23Welcome to the jungle.
33:26Bachelor number six.
33:28What's something you've done in a relationship that you'd be embarrassed for Marie to know?
33:36I slept with the auntie, the niece.
33:41The daughter.
33:43The daughter.
33:47That would have been a path.
33:49It was a path.
33:50That would have been a path.
33:53And I had to say to mama for later.
33:58Shut your mouth.
34:00I called it.
34:01I felt it in my spirit.
34:03I said it.
34:04I was like, Latrice probably got a woman in here.
34:06This is Latrice's thing.
34:07Like, you forcing women on me.
34:10Come on out, Latrice.
34:11This is your thing, not mine.
34:14The sleeping around with the entire family, the auntie, the sister, the friend, that would
34:21be a deal breaker for me.
34:22Ring the bell.
34:26Marie, you have to choose one more.
34:30Yeah.
34:31Trust your instinct.
34:32Marie, why are you waiting and making that decision?
34:33Can I put these, can I put these in your hands?
34:36I'm trying to make a decision.
34:39You can smell my...
34:41Okay, who brought these?
34:42That's number one.
34:43No, no.
34:44That's number one.
34:45The refrigerator?
34:46You have to eliminate someone.
34:48One more.
34:49I'm going to have to pass on the 28-year-old.
34:51You're going to regret it, baby.
34:53I don't know.
34:53You're going to regret it big time.
34:54Y'all have a bled one, man.
34:56You too.
34:56So right now, we're going to get a five to ten second touch.
35:01Y'all have to remember, I'm here.
35:03I'm her daughter now, and I'm here, so I don't want to see nothing.
35:06Bachelor number three.
35:09Can you come forward?
35:15You hella thirsty.
35:17Go get some water.
35:19Don't you have no mercy.
35:21Don't you even bother.
35:23You hella thirsty.
35:26Why you like a lip smoke?
35:29I'm here.
35:30No lip licking.
35:31No lip licking.
35:36Definitely didn't know what he wants, baby.
35:38I love that.
35:39That was too much.
35:40Some of the touches is to my liking, and, you know, some is a mess.
35:45So I had to eliminate.
35:47You know, I'm just going off how I'm feeling in this moment.
35:50Like, because I don't know how I can't see.
35:52Let's remove the blindfold.
35:54These are your final two.
35:56Oh!
35:58Oh, my God!
35:59Well, Marie, go and claim your bachelor.
36:06Marie, go and claim your bachelor.
36:11Don't nobody want to be up on the hands.
36:14The contractor, baby.
36:16The contractor.
36:17He is the padded bird.
36:18Oh!
36:19Oh!
36:22Oh!
36:22Oh!
36:22Oh!
36:23Oh!
36:23Oh!
36:24Oh!
36:24Oh!
36:25Oh!
36:26Oh!
36:27Oh!
36:36Oh!
36:38You did amazing.
36:39You did amazing.
36:40Look, look.
36:41OK.
36:41You did good, Rui-Rui.
36:43I'm surprised to learn that, hey, this gentleman was Selena's fit.
36:46But, Selena, you did good, girl.
36:49You guys will go on a date at Fondren's Haste.
36:53Can it be a double date?
36:55Rui-Rui, OK, that's me.
36:57That's me, boo.
36:58OK, Marie.
36:59Marie, not you walking out with the musician flowers.
37:04Yeah, we can get those back.
37:05He's going to get you some more, Marie.
37:08Oh, that was good, y'all.
37:10Oh, my God.
37:10That was so good.
37:12That was good.
37:13That was good.
37:13That was so good.
37:14Out of all the guys that Marie has dated, this guy is different.
37:19So it may actually last.
37:21You ladies did great.
37:23Thank y'all for this.
37:24They all seem to be very nice men.
37:27Well, we have everyone's number.
37:28If your date does not work out, go to plan B, C, B, M, G.
37:34Exactly.
37:34Yeah, but this was nice.
37:36I needed this.
37:37Before we all go, I want to ask you about Glenn.
37:40Oh.
37:41I want to check in with Letitia.
37:43I know it's in front of all of the bells.
37:45I really just want to know how she's doing.
37:48So I think they went out and had some drinks.
37:51Mm-hmm.
37:51And so Mike told me about the conversation and divorce came up, a divorce lawyer.
38:04He haven't mentioned anything to you about a divorce lawyer?
38:07No.
38:07He ain't said nothing.
38:08No.
38:09So you don't know anything about that?
38:11No.
38:11This is new to me.
38:12So Glenn and Mike, when they hung out, Glenn told Mike...
38:16Something about a divorce lawyer.
38:18You got to remember.
38:19I need you to think.
38:20I feel blindsided.
38:22Like, I have no idea.
38:23Like, Glenn, are you seeing a divorce attorney?
38:25But I'm going to get to the bottom of it.
38:27What did he say?
38:29He said that Glenn mentioned to him, divorce lawyer and post-nup.
38:36I haven't heard anything about...
38:38I just heard that it was a divorce lawyer, a financial advisor.
38:41Who did you hear that from?
38:43I went to Latrice's house.
38:46I did start talking to them about the situation.
38:49I hadn't seen you at that time, and so it was just weighing heavy on me.
38:56This is the same thing you nailed me to the cross for,
38:58for not telling you about the baby with Mike.
39:00So you knew about this when I came to you about Mike and I communication problems.
39:07And why you didn't say anything to me then?
39:12See, I'm telling you now.
39:14I don't think it's the same thing.
39:17That my husband said he's going to divorce?
39:19Girl, everybody know your business but you.
39:21I definitely feel like Selena should have told me this prior to tonight.
39:26Here we go.
39:27Once again, another embarrassment in front of the bells.
39:29I'm sick and tired of this.
39:32So did you know this information when I was at your house?
39:35I did.
39:36I did.
39:37I did.
39:38But I was so focused on the wedding.
39:40I was not thinking about Glenn.
39:42I wasn't thinking about no divorce lawyer.
39:44Selena's gonna cross now.
39:46Oh, she can't.
39:47She can't.
39:48Did you take it seriously?
39:49Anytime somebody say divorce lawyer, yes, I take that seriously.
39:54You know, I hope you find love.
39:57Okay, I hope everything works out.
40:00I will see you girls later.
40:02Okay?
40:03You guys!
40:04Yes.
40:05I need to go have a conversation with Glenn.
40:07And I'm done being ambushed by these bells.
40:10And if I stay any longer, I'm going to say some things that's going to make me get out of
40:14character.
40:14And I'm not giving them what they want.
40:17So I'm going home.
40:18No, but I'm still home.
40:19All right.
40:20I hope she's not upset.
40:22She's about to go get in that ass.
40:24Well, Tisha, don't mention my name.
40:26Right?
40:27You, stop.
40:27You're the f***ing old man.
40:38Hey.
40:40What's going on?
40:44Next on Bell Collective.
40:46Selena just said, Glenn said that he was getting a divorce and he went to see a divorce attorney.
40:50And I'm like, what the f***?
40:52Hi.
40:53Hello.
40:54This is my first date since things ended with Zedra.
40:57Pretty lady, you're fine.
40:59You smell so sweet.
41:02I love the way you're sexing me.
41:06Let me ask you a question.
41:07What are you doing for my son?
41:09Matt's mom expects me to be this 1950s Stepford wife.
41:12You know Matt is a man of very little words.
41:15That's why I'm here.
41:16At the end of the day, what you going to do?
41:18Not have a baby?
41:18I'm going to get an operation.
41:20I wish you would.
41:21That's definitely ground for a divorce.
