00:00I bet y'all been wondering where your boy Tommy Miles was gonna pop up next.
00:16Mystery solved.
00:17I've been getting it in right here in the streets of Philadelphia.
00:23As usual, I'm on a mission to find sexy singles who believe in life, liberty, and the pursuit
00:30of love and happiness.
00:32I've never seen anything like that before.
00:33Oh, my little outfit.
00:34Philadelphia may be known as a city of brotherly love, but we're here to find romantic love.
00:4120 of Philly's most eligible singles are coming together to see if this city can still put
00:47it down like Dr. J.
00:48To black love.
00:49There we go.
00:50Throughout their journey, just like Rocky and Apollo, these men and women are gonna
00:58raise their gloves and knock each other out.
01:00The ladies met with Tommy.
01:01They were talking about polygamy.
01:04That came up again.
01:05Yeah, again.
01:06Until only our final couples remain.
01:09You continue to amaze me, like, all the similarities that we have.
01:14It's pretty intimate.
01:15Your feet on me.
01:16We low-key go together.
01:17I like that.
01:19Lace up your shoes and get ready to rumble.
01:23This time to find out which of these singles are true.
01:26Ready.
01:27For what?
01:28To love.
01:29To love.
01:30You know the song?
01:31Go, Adrienne!
01:32I know it took me some time to get to the place that you wanted me to be, oh.
01:43But now I'm ready.
01:45I'm ready to love.
01:59I'm gonna dance until I can't no more.
02:03I'm gonna dance until we fire on the dance floor.
02:09Walking in, the first thing that catches my eye is the champagne.
02:13I just need to get that flowing in my body so I can loosen up and be open.
02:16Hello.

02:23like.

02:28Really?
02:29Mm-hmm.
02:30What?
02:31I hope to get a loved one from this.
02:33Being in a male-dominated industry, I want to be more feminine at home because I feel
02:38like at work I have to have this masculine exterior and I want to feel like I'm comfortable
02:43with somebody else leading me.
02:45But no, I would not date another firefighter.
02:48That's hot.
02:49How long you been a firefighter?
02:50Uh, over 10 years now.
02:51Mm.
02:52Mm-hmm.
02:53I'm a Sagittarius.
02:54I like long walks in the park and holding hands and rubbing feet.
02:56That's what you want me to say.
02:59How about yourself?
03:00Fitness, nutrition.
03:01I got a spot right on Germantown and Rent House.
03:03Okay.
03:04I helped a lot of firefighters.
03:06I went through a lot as a child trying to identify myself through being adopted.
03:09It was like, yo, the love that I'm actually looking for is the love that I need to be
03:12giving myself.
03:14I make sure that I'm fulfilled.
03:15I make sure that, you know, I'm doing things to fill my cup so I can attract that and it'll
03:19be reciprocated.
03:20How old are you?
03:2142.
03:22When I first see you, I thought you was about my age.
03:23Damn.
03:24Like, five.
03:25Give me a hug.
03:26Give me a hug.

03:41Nice to meet you.
03:42How long you been in Philly?
03:43Three years total.
03:44You're still working on your Philly-ism.
03:45You live in Philly a long time?
03:46Been here since Meek Mills was rapping on the corner.
03:49The Dusty Braids, okay?
03:52You want me to make you a plate for you two?
03:53Oh, man.

03:5840 has come and approaching.
03:59I'm trying to sleep in alone.
04:00Watch yourself.
04:01Come on.
04:02See, that's what I told you.
04:03Take your helmet off.
04:05Let your toes just breathe.
04:07I've been engaged, and it was the best relationship that I've ever been in.
04:12This guy was attentive.
04:13He was supportive.
04:14He was the best lovin' I've had.
04:17But after he proposed, he passed away.
04:22He had a heart attack in his sleep.
04:25As soon as I thought this fairy tale has finally happened, it went away.
04:30It was like, psych, you won't be happy.
04:33But I do have closure.
04:34And now, I'm definitely ready to love.
04:36I guess we toast.
04:37We can't toast to no water.
04:38We're in a shot seat.
04:39All right.
04:40Like, no, plan.
04:41All right.

06:16My name's John.
06:17People call me Jay.
06:18I work in the cyber security field.
06:19Going into this mixer, I felt confident, you know, with my Denzel walk.
06:20Showtime.
06:21Yeah.
06:22You know what I'm talking about?
06:23You know what I'm talking about?

06:44My name's Jay.
06:45What's going on, bro?
06:46Jay, nice, tall, chocolate, you got the brakes.
06:47Definitely.
06:48What made you want to do this experience?
06:49Well, I've been chaotic lately.
06:50Chaotic?
06:51Yeah.
06:52So you want to find something meaningful, something from the same page.
06:53Right.
06:54What's up with this?
06:55Right.
06:56And I'm like, what's up with this?
06:57meaningful side of the same page.
06:59Right.
07:00I'm a single dad.
07:01My kid's mom, she's in Virginia.
07:02So I have him primarily.
07:04My kids are actually excited that I'm looking for love.
07:08My daughter, for one.
07:09I played T with her, and I did her nails, you know?
07:12But I think it's different when a woman do it.
07:14But I love being a single father, at the moment,
07:17until I find my love.
07:18How old are you?
07:1934.
07:20OK, 35.
07:21See, I learned not to ask a woman her age, but you told me.
07:23Yeah, yeah, yeah.
07:24That's so crazy how that's there.
07:26Come on, let's do your vows.
07:27We're not.
07:28Tommy did his thing on the mixer.
07:30It's a rose petals on the floor, champagne.
07:33It was a beautiful winery.
07:35It felt like a wedding.
07:37I'm sipping today.
07:38I'm keeping it cute.
07:41My psyche told me that I am going
07:43to meet my soulmate in July.
07:46Where you at?
07:47Hey, guys.
07:48How you doing?
07:49Hi, I'm Sohara.
07:50Sohara?
07:51I'm Angie.
07:52Sohara?
07:53Oh, Sohara.
07:54It ain't dry, though.
07:55It ain't dry.
07:56I am the spiritualist.
07:59I'm burning candles.
08:01I'm making pictures and things.
08:03I have never burnt a candle to get a man,
08:06but I have burnt the candles to get rid of one.
08:09I burn a candle until it's dying,
08:11then I bury the candle, and then I bury him.
08:14Hi.
08:15What's your name?
08:16I'm Eddie.
08:18OK, Eddie.
08:18Why are you saying it with a smile?
08:20Eddie already know what's up.
08:23Hey, hey.
08:24Yo, yo.
08:25Come on.
08:26Come holler at me, baby.
08:27Woo!
08:29Hey.
08:30Everybody looking good?
08:32Uh-huh, uh-huh.
08:34When Tommy first came out, I was hyped.
08:36I'm a big fan, but I feel like I kept my composure.
08:39I didn't want to look like a groupie or nothing like that.
08:42All right, what's up, my beautiful people?
08:43Everybody good?
08:44How are you?
08:45Or should I say my beautiful jaws?
08:47Yeah.
08:48Beautiful jaws.
08:49Did I say that right?
08:51You said it wrong, but it's OK.
08:52All right, somebody got to give me some lessons a little later.
08:54I want to make sure I got the Philly lingo together, OK?
08:57Yeah, we're going to get it together.
08:58Tommy did not say John right now.
09:00Like, it's a flow.
09:01That John look good.
09:02That John taste good.
09:04No, give me that John over there.
09:06It means any and everything.
09:09It's a Philly thing.
09:10All right.
09:11Welcome to the most successful dating experiment
09:15in television history.
09:17That's right.
09:17Yeah.
09:18That's right.
09:19I said it.
09:20The city's all over the country.
09:22We've helped brothers and sisters find love.
09:25And this season, let me tell you something.
09:27We about to do it again.
09:28OK.
09:29But tonight, there will be one very special difference.
09:34OK.
09:35Oh, no.
09:35And I bet some of y'all looking at this beautiful venue.
09:38I'm going to see it.
09:39Decorated with all these flowers.
09:41And you wondering why you here.
09:45Well, this time, instead of just talking about love,
09:47I've decided to show you what it looks like up close and personal.
09:51OK.
09:53So welcome to the first Ready to Love wedding.
09:59Oh!
10:00Oh!
10:01The wedding is crazy.
10:03Am I getting married already?
10:05Y'all people don't even know me.
10:07Did you hear what Tommy said?
10:09I was like, whoa, this is real.
10:11Like, we really need to find the right one.
10:14Oh!

10:16The wedding is crazy.
10:18Our wedding is crazy.
10:21Ooh.
10:25Y'all might remember two singles.
10:27They went through the Ready to Love journey in Washington, DC.
10:30Some people, including myself, didn't
10:33think they were ready to love.
10:34But today, they about to prove us all wrong
10:37in a big league kind of way.
10:39Wow.
10:40Y'all ready to do this?
10:41Yes.
10:41Are you ready to do this?
10:42We ready, Tommy!
10:44OK.
10:44I thought he was talking about us.
10:46I watched the DC experience.
10:48I was like, who could it actually really be?
10:52Without further ado, please welcome Cornelius and Camille.
11:02Do it for the love of it.
11:05Oh!
11:10I got hope, man.
11:12Never stop, never stop.
11:14Do it for the love of it.
11:17Seeing Camille and Cornelius, I was hyped,
11:20because I definitely seen the season with those two in there.
11:23Keep this PG.
11:25Keep this PG.
11:27Are you going to behave yourself today?
11:28No.
11:29I'm coming full force.
11:30What do you mean?
11:31I'm playing.
11:31Coming full force for whom?
11:33For you.
11:34OK.
11:35Hopefully, we can come back and be like, oh, we married.
11:37Let's get it.
11:38I just was so happy that they were able to find love.
11:41And now I get to witness their wedding.
11:43Yes!
11:44OK.
11:44Hey, look at everything.
11:46What's up, man?
11:47Wow!
11:48Damn!
11:49Look at y'all.
11:50Oh, my God.
11:52Black love look good on y'all.
11:53I can't be more proud.
11:55Y'all ready to make it official?
11:57Yes.
11:57Amen.
11:58Wait, wait, wait, wait.
11:59We're missing something, though.
12:00We're missing something.
12:01Zadia!
12:02Oh!
12:02Get your beautiful self out here.
12:08Corey, come stand next to your man.
12:10Come on, come on.
12:13All right.
12:14I see you, boy.
12:17All right.
12:18Well, let me say, I am elated that you
12:20allowed me to officiate this.
12:23I went through a lot to get the proper connection.
12:26OK?
12:28Tommy done some homework and everything.
12:29All right, all right.
12:30I know later that you guys will do this ceremony
12:33again with family and friends.
12:35But to come back and show love where the journey began,
12:38that's where I'm grateful.
12:40So time for the vows.
12:43All right.
12:44Three years ago, started this process
12:47when I saw this beautiful, chocolate, curvaceous woman
12:52with a lot of personality, a lot of charisma,
12:55and a lot of spunk.
12:57Lord only knew that we'd be still standing here today.
13:01Camille, your pursuit of excellence in everything
13:04you do, your character, your willingness to serve,
13:08being a caring person, and becoming a loving person
13:12that I have prayed for.
13:14You have shown me through it all,
13:16you are beautiful not only on the outside,
13:19but also on the inside.
13:21I pray that God continues to shine
13:24a light on our relationship and guide us into our future union.
13:28Woo!
13:29Camille?
13:30You did that.
13:31How you gonna top that, baby girl?
13:35From the moment we had our very first conversation
13:38at the mansion meetup, I knew you were different.
13:40But I had no clue I was actually meeting my person.
13:44You met me during a time when I felt
13:46like I was a strong, independent person
13:48because I felt like I had to be as a single mother.
13:52I do recall one day, you said to me flat out,
13:54Camille, you're going to have to chill out
13:57and allow me to lead if you're going to be in my life.
14:00Your statement caused me to pause and reflect.
14:03I packed away my misindependent cape
14:05because I was able to see that your actions spoke
14:08louder than your words.
14:09You have helped me to reveal a much softer version of myself,
14:12and I thank you.
14:13You have loved me in a way that I've never been loved before.
14:18Thank you for loving me.
14:19Thank you for being my best friend, my snuggle buddy,
14:23my protector, and my provider.
14:25And lastly, thank you for being a positive role model
14:29and a wonderful example of a God-fearing man for my son.
14:32Thank you for showing him what it looks like when
14:34his mother is loved correctly.
14:36Woo!
14:37Wow.
14:42I was like this.
14:44Just seeing how real their relationship
14:46were, hearing their personalities
14:47and watching her cry, I thought that was just beautiful.
14:50Camille J. Hazel.
14:51Doctor.
14:52Oh, I didn't mean that.
14:54That's not what I meant.
14:55I'm sorry.
14:56Let Tommy fix that.
14:58Dr. Camille J. Hazel, you take Camillia's bride
15:03to be your lawfully wedded husband.
15:05Will you honor and cherish her, love, trust, and commit
15:09to her through joy and pain, sickness and health,
15:13and whatever curveballs may come your way?
15:15Oh, my God.
15:16Until death do you part?
15:19I do.
15:20Camillia's bride, you take Camille Hazel
15:24to be your lawfully wedded wife.
15:26Will you honor and cherish her and whatever curveballs
15:29may be thrown at you until death do you part?
15:33I do.
15:34Camille, you may place the ring on Cornelius' finger.
15:42You may place the ring on her finger.
15:45You and me again?
15:50And now, by the power vested in me by God,
15:56and more recently, the state of Pennsylvania,
15:59I now pronounce you husband and wife.
16:04Brother, you may kiss your bride.
16:14When I saw Cornelius and Camille,
16:16it looked like a true, genuine love
16:19and wanting to be with someone because you want that person.
16:23It was inspiring.
16:23It truly was inspiring.
16:25Before you leave, Camille, we got to throw this bouquet.
16:29Beautiful ladies, can I get y'all in the center?
16:32I'm like my feet.
16:33On the count of three.
16:34To the left.
16:35It was no excitement.
16:36One, two, three.
16:40Oh, wow.
16:41Whoa.
16:42Whoa.
16:44That's somebody's on a man right there.
16:47She yanked it.
16:48It was like a Mortal Kombat move.
16:53To me, it was like, OK, Ange.
16:55Ladies and gentlemen, one more big round of applause
16:57for Mr. and Dr. Bryant.
17:01All right, y'all.
17:02What's up, man?
17:07Was that beautiful or what, for real?
17:08Yeah, that was.
17:09I was crying.
17:10I was holding back my tears, too.
17:13I hope y'all were inspired by it, man.
17:15Because listen, one day, that could be you.
17:17Right.
17:18And that journey begins right here, right now.
17:22There are 10 of you here.
17:24This is the first of two mixers.
17:26Eventually, you will meet 10 more Philly singles.
17:28All y'all, you know, you reppin' Philly to the fullest.
17:31To the fullest.
17:32Everybody fly.
17:33Everybody fine.
17:34I got all that.
17:36But as much energy you put to looking good,
17:39I want you to put that much energy
17:41in learning and getting to know the people around.
17:44Explore all your options.
17:46Because the home team might be the 76ers.
17:50But by the end of this mixer, two of y'all
17:54will be getting 86.
17:56Up out of here.
17:57Oh.
17:58Oh, Lord.
18:00I was scared.
18:01I was nervous.
18:02But even though two people are going home,
18:04I'm still going to be me.
18:05I just want to meet the next batch.
18:07Like, I'm excited to see these people.
18:08So lock in.
18:10Mingle.
18:11And I'll be checking in with y'all real soon, all right?
18:13OK.
18:13Thank you, Tommy.
18:14All right.
18:15I just married two people.
18:16I just married two people.
18:18You can say that.
18:18Yeah, I did.
18:20Yes, I did.
18:24These look like our wedding glasses.
18:25You see that impression?
18:26There we go.
18:27That's like my 10th crab cake.
18:30I'm so greedy.
18:30It is.
18:31Wee!
18:32The height got me.
18:33In the past, I dated shorter men,
18:35but they come up big in other areas.
18:37Can I say that?
18:39Jay and Kee, they asked me if I was skipping,
18:41running, or jogging to love.
18:44But yes, the shoe size looked a little nice.
18:48His hair was tamed.
18:50Like, he looked really good.
18:51But no, that was a good question.
18:52What did you answer?
18:53Did you say walk and run?
18:54I said slow pace.
18:55Slow pace?
18:56I seen my parents.
18:57They worked it out, like, no matter what it was, you know?
19:00It's 11 of us, so.
19:02Damn, you have 10 siblings?
19:03Yes.
19:04I got six brothers.
19:06God damn, boys got to come correct out here, yo.
19:09It's going to be a task force coming for you.
19:10Yeah.
19:11I think it's really cool that Angie's
19:12such a family-oriented girl, because for me,
19:15I'm pretty close with my parents.
19:17I would definitely say that I was more of a mama's boy.
19:21She has played such an important role in my life.
19:23When I do find success, whether that's in business or romance,
19:27I give her, you know, a good amount of the credit.
19:30Do you want a lot of kids, or you just want?
19:33Between one and three.
19:34I, for sure, want to be a father.
19:36Honestly, my nephew's so adorable, man.
19:38He's cute, and it just looks fun.
19:40Nice.
19:40So I see it.
19:41You feel like you've got a type?
19:43A type of man?
19:44Yeah, a type that you see yourself dating
19:46or you're attracted to.
19:47I'm going to go head out there and tell you that I'm actually
19:49really attracted to you.
19:51Word.
19:51I appreciate that saying.
19:52Gorgeous, shorty.
19:53Like, you're just versatile.
19:55That's hot.
19:57I can't wait to see Wayne again.
19:59I was happy that he asked for my number,
20:01because so far, that's home.
20:03No, not yet.
20:04Too fast, too soon.
20:05Is it?
20:07Funny how we always find each other.
20:09Hey, it ain't nothing straight, baby.
20:11You know.
20:18Are you full American, or are you?
20:19I'm full American.
20:20People be like, oh, you like Omar X?
20:22Oh, yes, you do.
20:23Oh, my god.
20:24OK, yeah, yeah.
20:26Do you naturally wear glasses, or are you trying to be cute?
20:28No, I'm blind as shit.
20:30Well, can you see me?
20:31I can definitely see you in that gown.
20:32Can you see that?
20:33When I first met you, I'm like, wow, who is this, you know?
20:36And I thought she kind of felt confident in what she wanted
20:38when she saw me.
20:38And I was like, you know, let me just sit down
20:40and get to know her.
20:40You are beautiful.
20:41Thank you, I appreciate that.
20:42A baddie.
20:43A baddie?
20:44Yeah, I can see it in your eyebrows.
20:45Oh, not the brows.
20:46Yeah, that's how you wear it.
20:47I don't play about them brows, so.
20:49No, no.
20:50So tell me about yourself.
20:51Why are you not married?
20:52Why?
20:53Because there's no quality men.
20:54You have to ask these men why they don't want to commit.
20:56Yeah.
20:57Why do they want to step up?
20:58You sound like you've been through it.
21:00Come on now.
21:00Fine.
21:02Go use the insurance and go get the therapy.
21:04What do you think about therapy?
21:05It's essential.
21:06I love you.
21:07It's essential.
21:09Are you kissing?
21:10I love you for that.
21:11I definitely took the time after my relationships to reflect
21:14and to do the healing.
21:16And I think that's something a lot of people don't do.
21:18I've done the work, and I'm just ready now for someone
21:22that's new, healthy, and positive.
21:25I think in the past, I went in too fast.
21:28That's me.
21:29Why do you think you do that?
21:30Probably because I was adopted.
21:31You know, trying to identify, you know,
21:34unconditional love inside of my family,
21:36inside of my own identity.
21:37Those things, you know, feeling abandoned,
21:39those feelings make me feel that way about who I love
21:42and how I am in a relationship.
21:43That's good.
21:44Thanks for being transparent.
21:45No, no doubt.
21:46That was fun.
21:47He really broke down those walls.
21:49I got to learn a lot about his past traumas.
21:51And I'm looking forward to what he has in store for me.
21:54Cheers to therapy.
21:55Cheers to therapy and your nails.
21:57Cheers to therapy and my no nails.
21:58And your no nails, not Karen.
21:59I love it.
22:00Nice to meet you.
22:03I need to introduce myself.
22:04My name's Jay.
22:05Nice to meet you.
22:05Yes, what's up?
22:06How are you?
22:07Keke.
22:08She definitely caught my eye.
22:10You know, I like her energy.
22:11And then she curvaceous.
22:12I just had to see what was going on real quick.
22:14I had to, you know, scope the scenery out.
22:17I feel like going out, trying to meet people.
22:19Right.
22:19Nah.
22:21But you a baddie.
22:22So I guess most guys may be intimidated.
22:24So they got to put on a persona.
22:25But intimidated about what?
22:26If we was in a club, you got to do extra to get you.
22:30Facts.
22:31I understand.
22:31Man, don't try to read me.
22:32You feel like you can look at me and read me.
22:34But it's OK.
22:35I'm real loving, though.
22:36OK.
22:37I'm real genuine.
22:38Y'all got to.
22:39Boy and a girl.
22:39I mean, I was in a relationship for 11 years.
22:41OK.
22:42Whatever, good.
22:43On my left, I walked away.
22:44I wanted more of my life.
22:45Like, as a man, my kids, they going to look at me.
22:47You and mommy had a problem?
22:48Nah.
22:49I'm going to make sure I go get this money.
22:51I don't got time to be bickering about the small stuff.
22:53OK.
22:54OK, so what you do for work?
22:55So I just focus on my career.
22:56I do cybersecurity, so.
22:57I like men at work.
22:58Yeah, I love to work.
22:59OK.
23:00Me and Jay hit it off.
23:01Everything that he said is everything
23:04that I am looking for.
23:06That's going to be my man, my man, my man.
23:08Like, he might be the one.
23:09We just seen a wedding happen.
23:11I got to get married here.
23:12Why?
23:13Because my mom's good at airplanes,
23:15and my mom's good at me.
23:15Oh, I mean, that's.
23:16But you can do, like, the little small joint where it's just,
23:19you know what I mean?
23:19Us, it could be some of them.
23:21Look at you, speaking things into fruition.
23:23Oh, I'm all about that.
23:24OK.
23:25If you don't do that, I don't know what you doing.
23:26Mm.
23:31All right, so how many of us have been divorced?
23:33Oh.
23:33Oh.
23:34Oh.
23:35Oh.
23:37Here's to longevity.
23:38Hey.
23:38Oh.
23:39It wasn't really a good decision for me to get married.
23:42The first time I got married was right after my mom died.
23:44The second time I got married was right after my dad died.
23:47They were always together.
23:48We did everything together.
23:49And they said chivalry was dead.
23:52So now I've definitely set the bar high for me
23:54when it comes to finding the right person,
23:56because I want what my parents said.
23:58So when was the last time you was in a relationship?
24:00It's been five years since I've been single.
24:03I've been single for one year.
24:05Me and my ex broke up because he had issues.
24:09That's fake.
24:09You know.
24:10Was he a chronic masturbator?
24:11Like, shouldn't he be saving his energy for you?
24:16Will was crazy, OK?
24:17But I'm coming into this journey with an open mind
24:21and an open heart.
24:22So I'm definitely willing to give him a chance.
24:25All right, so kids.
24:27You want them?
24:28If I'm with a woman who doesn't want to have kids,
24:30I'm OK not having kids.
24:31OK.
24:32So like, if you ask me, like, do you want kids?
24:34I'm going to say, yeah.
24:35I'm not going to say, oh, if the man, I want him to want kids,
24:37because that don't have nothing to do with my wants.
24:39So you may have kids whether you have a man or not.
24:41No, I'm not.
24:43But you just said you want kids regardless
24:45of what the man thinks.
24:46So your answer's the same as mine.
24:47It's not.
24:48I'm so confused with your answer right now.
24:50It's like, we were given the same answer,
24:52but ultimately, we agreed to disagree that we agreed.
24:55Like, this girl's crazy.
24:58Baby, if you snore and I'm putting a pillow over your head,
25:01that's it for you.
25:01No more breathing.
25:02So you would murder your husband
25:04if you breathed too loud with your snore?
25:06I'm kidding, but I'm serious.
25:08OK.
25:13Let's hop over here.
25:14I'm not stepping in no shit.
25:15Then neither am I.
25:16Mm-mm.
25:17Let's just toast and toast to the goats.
25:19Yes, toast to the goats.
25:20There we go.
25:20Yo, here is it.
25:22Toes, hair.
25:23I'm like, there she go.
25:25This is me.
25:26And I'm like, yeah, give me more of you stink.
25:28So tell me about yourself.
25:29I'm a gym owner.
25:30I got a nutrition bar inside of Germantown,
25:31helping the hood get healthy.
25:33Dad, love being a dad.
25:34OK.
25:35I have two.
25:36I have two boys.
25:37I have a 14-year-old and a 7-year-old.
25:39Oh, girl.
25:40So they're not, like, too flashy.
25:41I love it.
25:41They give you a run for your money.
25:42Oh, please.
25:43A boy, two boys is a lot.
25:45My little son is, like, super-duper attached to me.
25:47You know, he wants to live in my skin.
25:49Like, that's how.
25:49I don't blame him.
25:50I don't.
25:51I'm crying.
25:52I don't blame you.
25:53How many kids you have?
25:53Five.
25:54Five?
25:55Five babies.
25:55Oh, my god.
25:56You got baby mama drama?
25:58I have three baby moms.
25:59It just came with a little bit of drama.
26:02But I don't really allow any BS right now.
26:05Three baby moms?
26:07That's a bit much.
26:08I wouldn't even be able to do nothing like this
26:09if I had somebody that really took me serious.
26:11You know what I mean? We old.
26:12I know that.
26:12So we going to have to work.
26:13Hey, not too much, because we not old.
26:15I'm not old.
26:15Do you have, like, an ex-wife?
26:17Do you have stragglers that think that they can still
26:19spin the block on you to anybody
26:21that you want to spin the block on?
26:22That red flag is not looking like six flags for me.
26:26Honestly, years ago, me playing games,
26:28it probably would have been me in the situation playing games.
26:30Years ago.
26:31I don't want somebody coming into my life
26:33bringing me drama.
26:44I got jewelry business.
26:45OK.
26:46I can bless you with a couple of things.
26:47OK.
26:48I'm looking.
26:49I'll be looking. I'm a businessman.
26:50You want it.
26:51Look, you look like me.
26:52Yeah.
26:53You should call Rick Fox.
26:54Chill out.
26:54All right.
26:55You should call Rick Fox.
26:57Listen.
26:58Eddie is fine.
27:00Eddie is tall.
27:01And I feel like he gets a lot of female attention.
27:04Wait. No, no, no.
27:05They said they don't hear his friend.
27:06I don't want it.
27:07I don't want it.
27:08I don't want it.
27:10Ed, Ed, and Eddie.
27:11He's cute or whatever.
27:13You said you was giving out foot massages.
27:15Can I be first?
27:16My gosh, you just don't fall in love already.
27:18He's tall, curly hair.
27:20I was like, ooh, you look good.
27:21OK.
27:22You satisfied with the first batch?
27:24The first batch is cool.
27:25Yeah, they cool.
27:26Come on.
27:27You don't want to put all your hands around that.
27:29Angie was cool too, though.
27:30Like, I'm trying to get married.
27:31You know what I'm saying?
27:32The mixture, I feel like the woman,
27:34it was gravitating to me, giving good conversation.
27:36But, you know, we're here looking for love.
27:38So you got to get a little bit deeper.
27:40Hello.
27:41Deanna.
27:41Deanna, I'm Eddie.
27:42Eddie, good to meet you, Eddie.
27:43Nice to meet you.
27:44You got kids?
27:45One nine-year-old.
27:46One nine, aww.
27:47My girl dad.
27:47Let me move over here.
27:48Right, right, right.
27:49Eddie is definitely my ideal type.
27:52Tall, handsome, clean nails.
27:54Oh my god, that is, you got to have clean nails.
27:56Are you from Philly?
27:57Born and raised.
27:58How about yourself?
27:59Me too.
27:59Uptown.
28:00What's your opinion?
28:01You look like an uptowner.
28:03That's a compliment.
28:04It is.
28:05It is a compliment.
28:06What you do for work?
28:07I'm a stripper.
28:09You are?
28:10Oh, wow.
28:11What?
28:12No, I'm a firefighter.
28:13Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
28:15For real?
28:16Yes.
28:17For real.
28:17I know.
28:18I'm not a firefighter.
28:19I know.
28:20Everybody says that.
28:23What I do, I don't like being in fear of something.
28:26So I like tackling it.
28:28Yeah, yeah.
28:28I love that. No fear.
28:29Yeah.
28:30No fear.
28:31When Deanna told me her career, that got me.
28:34Being a firefighter, you got to rise to the occasion.
28:37I see that we got the same type of strong mind.
28:40Absolutely.
28:41Yeah.
28:41She's beautiful, ambitious, and she about her business.
28:45I'm scared of you.
28:46I don't know.
28:47I'm scared of you.
28:48So they said.
28:49That lady's definitely.
28:50So they said.
28:53Hey, y'all.
28:54Oh, look at this one.
28:55He's licking his lips at your thigh.
28:56Ooh.
28:57Give him the thigh.
28:58I bet you he licking some more.
29:00So both of my marriages happened right
29:03after the death of a parent.
29:04OK.
29:05The girl I was dating at the time,
29:06I just decided I'm going to try to make it work with her.
29:09Because I did not want to marry a woman
29:11that my mom never met.
29:13How long were you married for?
29:14A year.
29:15The right answer.
29:16I'm just saying.
29:17It didn't take me long to realize this ain't working.
29:20I never.
29:21I never liked her.
29:22I do feel like Will is very open, telling
29:25you what you want to know.
29:26But when he gives you the right answer, it's never serious.
29:29My second marriage was a year or two.
29:30Damn.
29:31Like, what do you mean?
29:32I know.
29:33I know.
29:34Just how he's telling the story of him being married twice,
29:37I can't really get a feel of depth
29:41because he just plays too much.
29:43You something else.
29:44Need some help getting through the brass?
29:45Yeah.
29:46I got you.
29:51What's your last name, Jones?
29:52True Jones.
29:53True Jones.
29:54See, look, I like that.
29:55I like true, period.
29:56Yes.
29:57Me and Jay have the same name, Jones.
29:58And we definitely were vibing.
30:01My baby is true to everything.
30:04Now, I don't know if that was game or if he was sincere.
30:07But I'm definitely going to find out.
30:09Why are you looking for love?
30:11I just want a person to build that family
30:13and that life together.
30:15So what did you come to get?
30:16Right, love.
30:17I've been doing my little playa thing,
30:19and I'm out here running around.
30:20Not the playa thing.
30:21Check.
30:22Playa.
30:22Yeah, you said it.
30:24I'm single.
30:25I don't got no woman I'm dealing with.
30:26I cut them all up.
30:27So you don't want to be a playa no more?
30:28No.
30:29I was in a relationship for 11 years.
30:30With who?
30:31My kid's mom.
30:32How many kids you got?
30:33Two.
30:3412.
30:3511 years?
30:35Yeah, 11 years.
30:36I'm assuming you don't do commitment.
30:38We was 19 when we got together.
30:39I didn't have my fling for the last four years.
30:42Oh, so you was a whore for the last four years?
30:45Playa.
30:46All right, say hoe.
30:46That's even worse.
30:47No.
30:48I was dating.
30:49OK.
30:50I said the playa word, and she took
30:52that as if I'm out here everything moving.
30:55It was like, what?
30:56What was wrong about you?
30:57I'm a super lawyer.
30:58No, no, no, no.
30:59I'm super loving.
30:59I said, what was wrong?
31:00Oh, my god.
31:02You keep 21 questioning me and label me a hoe.
31:05We're going to have an issue.
31:06The woman tried to hold it over my head like, oh,
31:09you don't want to commit.
31:10I'm like, bro, I did 11 years.
31:11I know what that take.
31:11Just because you was in something for 11 years
31:13does not mean that you was committed.
31:15Let me tell you the real, so that you can like, OK.
31:17He's reformed.
31:18He seemed like a playa.
31:19No, I don't even, bro.
31:20Forget it.
31:21Don't give a shit.
31:22Mm.
31:27Camille, the first day, she came in like, that's my man.
31:30Y'all better not talk to him.
31:31This is how you can rush into a marriage
31:33and then wind up divorced.
31:34Like you.
31:35Twice.
31:36Twice.
31:38Hey, hey.
31:39Hi.
31:40If y'all don't mind, we're going to have a little
31:42man-to-man talk with y'all.
31:43Ladies, y'all got to meet out, ladies.
31:45Let me take my champagne.
31:47I'm going to send all these Jones home, but.
31:50Hate to see you go.
31:51Love to watch you leave.
31:52I just bet you do.
31:53This is not easy, but to really focus in on your match for me,
31:58I need to weed out the rest.
32:00Y'all got five beautiful ladies out here.
32:02How's that going?
32:03Will, about you, made any connections?
32:05I have no complaints.
32:06Angie definitely caught my eye.
32:07Probably because she was wearing red.
32:08She's definitely someone that I'd be interested
32:10in learning more about.
32:12Angie was pretty good, too, though.
32:13But me and D'Andra, she's an ambitious woman.
32:15What's her profession?
32:16She's a firewoman.
32:17Oh, that's just me.
32:19You can light a fire and put it out.
32:23What y'all like so far?
32:24D'Andra's energy.
32:25She's a firefighter.
32:26Yes.
32:27I'm like, you out here doing some real work.
32:29Yeah, that's real work.
32:30She opened more eyes at me.
32:32I'm like, OK, D, OK.
32:33Hold up.
32:34Kiara, though.
32:34Woman that's, like, high fashion,
32:36they keep you on your toes.
32:37I got to make sure she's straight.
32:39Ki, you know, her being a mom, her unconditional love
32:42is there.
32:43You can just tell.
32:45How you ladies doing?
32:46We hanging on in there.
32:48We got five handsome men y'all met today.
32:50Mm.
32:51Kiara, mm.
32:52I'm starting with that.
32:52I'm telling you.
32:53I got to start with, mm.
32:54I knew it was coming soon.
32:56Who is it that you made a connection with?
32:57I'm feeling Jack.
32:58He gets me, like, I feel like he appreciates me.
33:01Like, he knows, like, the type of woman that I am.
33:05Jay is the standout.
33:07So I had to let Tommy know in front of these girls
33:11that Jay is my man.
33:13Give me one more.
33:14Eddie.
33:14He's handsome. I like that.
33:16He's tall.
33:16Eddie was just more like.
33:18Cute.
33:18Just, yeah.
33:19And I was just like, damn.
33:23Any good connections so far?
33:25Mr. Rick Fox.
33:26Eddie.
33:27When you really sit down and have a one-on-one,
33:29it's deeper layers to him.
33:31And Wayne, he's different.
33:32He's interesting.
33:33There's nothing about him that's, like.
33:35You've seen before.
33:37I know this type of guy.
33:38Yeah.
33:38And I am, like, excited because I'm hearing
33:40that you're a firefighter.
33:41They didn't tell you I was a stripper?
33:43No, there was a poll involved.
33:45It was a one-on-one.
33:47OK.
33:48Now you can give me this.
33:49Is there any that just don't peak you in?
33:54I would say Sahara.
33:55Being from Philly, you get that little city girl vibe.
33:58Like, a little rough.
34:00I get it.
34:01Sahara.
34:02Yes, sir.
34:03We could be great friends, but.
34:05You don't feel an intimate connection?
34:06An intimate connection.
34:07Whom else?
34:08True.
34:08Because I joke around, and she really
34:10wondered, why are you like this?
34:12Why was you a player?
34:14For true, it was a little LinkedIn, man.
34:16It was a little professional.
34:18I am going to say Naeem.
34:20Why is there not a connection?
34:21He got five kids.
34:22How many do you have for five?
34:23I got two. That's seven.
34:24We be living.
34:25That is a lot.
34:26That's a lot.
34:27It is.
34:27Give me one more.
34:29I would have to say Will.
34:30You got the party started too fast.
34:32Will.
34:33Like, is it Def Comedy Gym all day?
34:35It was just a bit much for me.
34:37All right.
34:38I just want to see where you are before this journey is over.
34:41Me and you are going to race up the stairs
34:43with the water hose on us.
34:45OK?
34:45I got you.
34:46I think I can get you.
34:47I don't think so.
34:48All right.
34:49All right, ladies.
34:49All right.
34:50Mm-hmm.
34:52All right.
34:53We are gathered once again.
34:55I want to thank everybody for being here,
34:57putting yourself out there.
34:58This ain't easy.
34:59I get it.
34:59Yeah.
35:00As y'all know, I've been making my rounds,
35:03seeing who's feeling who, and who's not
35:06making any connections.
35:08And it's time for y'all to find out what's what.
35:12We are going to race up the stairs with the water hose
35:15on us.
35:16All right.
35:16We are gathered once again.
35:18I want to thank everybody for being here,
35:21Will and Naeem, please come forward.
35:27The only thing going through my head is, like,
35:29I hope it ain't me.
35:30I was a little nervous.
35:31I'm not going to lie.
35:32Unfortunately, one of you will be ending
35:34your journey right here.
35:36You calling me out with Will?
35:39Not f***ing Will.
35:40Instantly, I start sweating.
35:42Naeem, the ladies respect your fatherhood.
35:45But for some, they feel it might be too much too fast.
35:49Does that make sense to you?
35:50It do.
35:51Will, they enjoy your sense of humor.
35:53But they also want to know if you can be serious.
35:56Yeah.
35:57The joke can't always be on you.
36:00After speaking with the ladies, they have decided.
36:06Will, you are not ready to love.
36:13You know, I understand.
36:14I get it.
36:15I'm not everyone's cup of tea.
36:16But at the end of the day, I'm always
36:18going to bring my own energy.
36:19And some people will love me for it.
36:21Some people will send me home.
36:23Naeem, you can quit sweating.
36:28You can return to the group.
36:31Will, don't go nowhere just yet.
36:35Now to the ladies.
36:37There were two of you that left the fellows with questions.
36:41Sahara and True, please come forward.
36:47I'm like, I know they lying.
36:48Who?
36:49Sahara, who?
36:51Me?
36:51True, the guys enjoy talking to you.
36:55But at times, it felt like they was being interviewed.
36:59Have some fun.
37:00This group of men is trash to me right now.
37:02Why would you put me in the bottom two?
37:05Like, hello?
37:06Sahara, the guys love your energy.
37:09You got a spark.
37:10But they're not sure if that's a homie vibe.
37:15Now, while the men appreciate your efforts to open up,
37:18one of you came up short.
37:23Sahara, the guys feel that you are not ready to love.
37:31OK.
37:32True, you may return to the group.
37:35Get your breath.
37:38Man, I was ripped out.
37:40I don't want to talk, Tommy.
37:41I don't want to talk.
37:42I was upset.
37:43Today has been interesting.
37:46We've had a wedding.
37:47Sparks been flying all over the place.
37:50But you know, Tommy, what I do, I keep curveballs.
37:55There's nobody in the major leagues
37:56can throw them the way I throw them.
37:58I'm pretty damn good at it, baby.
38:00And I feel like throwing one tonight.
38:02Is that all right?
38:04All right, here's the curve.
38:06After a bit of thinking, I don't think
38:08it's fair to eliminate anybody without giving them
38:12the opportunity to meet the other 10 that
38:16will be joining soon.
38:18So Sahara and Will, what would you
38:20say if I offered you the chance to do this one more time
38:24and tomorrow meet 10 more of Philly's finest singers?
38:28I feel good, man.
38:29Right, feel like telling a joke?
38:30So we're going to be a little more serious?
38:32I mean, I could try, but I can only be me.
38:34At the end of the day, you can't be fake.
38:35Exactly.
38:37Sahara, how you feel?
38:38I'm OK.
38:39You're OK?
38:39Any thoughts at all?
38:41I would like to say that I'm not
38:42fucking with nobody behind me.
38:44You'd like to say what?
38:45Moving forward, I'm done with the whole group.
38:48I want the next five.
38:49You want the next five?
38:50Yeah.
38:50You're done with this group?
38:52How could you not feel me?
38:53Come on now, stop.
38:54I don't know.
38:55F-U-U-U, everything back there with a stick.
38:58It's over.
39:00That's wild.
39:01Wait a minute.
39:01What do I do?
39:03Love and light, love and light, baby.
39:05Damn.
39:05Damn.
39:06I want the next five.
39:07You want the next five?
39:08Yeah.
39:09You're done with this group?
39:11Us?
39:12You're done.
39:16Philly is in the house on this season of Ready to Love.
39:20All of you are here to put independence in the pants
39:23and open yourself up to falling in love
39:25and depending on somebody else other than yourself.
39:29Oh, we got some chocolate, y'all.
39:31How you doing?
39:34Disco realm, baby.
39:35I'm bringing sexy back.
39:37Sahara, oh, like the desert.
39:39Just like the desert.
39:40OK.
39:41A little bit wetter though.
39:42I am ready to find my man.
39:43Take it off, take it off.
39:45I'm hot anywhere.
39:46Yeah.
39:46Hot.
39:47I'm coming in, coming in hot.
39:49All right, let's get out there and see where we meet her.
39:50Who is the F-U-U-U?
39:52Bro.
39:54I dare you to give your number one a let dance.
40:01Something about our energy that was like in tune.
40:04Indeed.
40:05I wish this was an edible paint.
40:07I'm never going to forget this moment.
40:09I want the best for you.
40:11But that requires intentionality, vulnerability,
40:14good old fashioned honesty.
40:15Have I cheated in the past?
40:18Yes.
40:19I never felt so much pressure in my life.
40:23I really haven't heard from you.
40:25Why did you give me a fake number?
40:26Fake number, real number.
40:27You still didn't contact me.
40:29I don't want some talk no more.
40:32And no disrespect to you.
40:33This is not a game show.
40:35Yo, yo, let's get Sahara over here.
40:37Stop with the bullsh-t, bro.
40:38Mr. Bottle Pop, I get the glock.
40:41The issue is that you don't create boundaries.
40:44That's the problem.
40:45He's a liar.
40:46He's a manipulator.
40:48This is a messy table.
40:50The ladies and I, we decided that your journey
40:53has come to an end.
40:54Keep on, keep on fighting.
40:56I don't want you to go home.
40:58I've been dealing with trying to figure out
40:59like who I really am sometimes.
41:01I wanted to always defy her to burn.
41:04What happens tomorrow, I started today.
41:07Keep on, keep on fighting.
41:08Will we go from the Liberty Bell to wedding vests?
41:12It's simply time to decide if this is love or not.
41:16And find out who is truly ready to love.
