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.
00:21As usual, I'm on a mission to find sexy singles who believe in life, liberty, and
00:29the pursuit of 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
00:47put it down like Dr. J.
00:48It's a black love.
00:49There we go.
00:50Nah, that's what you really want to do.
00:54Throughout 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.
01:02They were talking about polygamy.
01:04That came up again.
01:05Yeah, again.
01:06Until only our final couples remain.
01:09You continually 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.
01:18I like that.
01:19Lace up your shoes and get ready to rumble.
01:23This time to find out which of these singles are true.
01:26Baby.
01:27To what?
01:28To love.
01:29You know the song?
01:30Go, Adrian!
01:36I know it took me some time to get to the place that you wanted me to be.
01:43But now I'm ready.
01:45I'm ready.
01:47To love.
01:57One, two, three, four.
01:59I'm gonna dance until the game, oh, oh.
02:03I'm gonna dance until it's right on the disco.
02:09Walking in, the first thing that catches my eye is that she ain't paying.
02:12I just need to get that flowing in my body so I can loosen up and be open.
02:16Hello.
02:17Deanna.
02:18Deanna, Naeem.
02:19Naeem, good to meet you.
02:20I know men is gonna like me because I'm sexy and who doesn't love this chocolate skin,
02:23like.
02:25What would you do?
02:26Um, I'm a firefighter.
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?
02:50Over 10 years now.
02:51Mm-hmm.
02:52I'm a Sagittarius.
02:53I 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.
03:05I went through a lot as a child trying to identify myself through being adopted.
03:08It was like, yo, the love that I'm actually looking for is the love that I need to be
03:12giving myself.
03:13I make sure that I'm fulfilled.
03:14I make sure that, you know, I'm doing things to fill my cup so I can attract that and it'll
03:18be reciprocated.
03:19How old are you?
03:20Forty-two.
03:21When I first see you, I thought you was about my age.
03:23Damn.
03:24Like five.
03:25Yeah, how's that?
03:32Wayne.
03:33I'm True.
03:34What's up, True?
03:35Good to meet you.

03:40What's up, Angie?
03:41Nice to meet you.
03:42How long you been in Philly?
03:43Three years total.
03:44You 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.
03:49That's nasty braids, okay?
03:52You want me to make you a plate for you two?
03:53Aw, man, I wouldn't fight it.
03:54Thank God.

03:56Forty has come and approaching.
03:57I'm trying to sleep in alone.
03:58Watch yourself.
03:59Come on.
04:00See, that's why I told you.
04:01Take your heels off.
04:02Let your toes just breathe.
04:03I've been engaged, and it was the best relationship that I've ever been in.
04:10This guy was attentive.
04:13He was supportive.
04:14He was the best lovin' I've had.
04:17But after he proposed, he passed away.
04:21He had a heart attack in his sleep.
04:24As soon as I thought this fairytale has finally happened, it went away.
04:29It was like, psych, you won't be happy.
04:32But I do have closure, and now I'm definitely ready to love.
04:35I got some toast.
04:36We can't toast to no water.
04:37We're in a shot seat.
04:38All right.

06:49What made you want to do this experience?
06:52Love been chaotic lately.
06:54Chaotic?
06:55Yeah.
06:56So, you want to find something meaningful, so you might have something on the same page.
06:59Right.
07:00I'm a single dad.
07:01My kid's mom, she's in Virginia, so I have them primarily.
07:04My kids are actually excited that I'm looking for love.
07:08My daughter, for one, I played T with her and I did her nails,
07:11you know, but 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 wanted 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, I'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 Tora.
07:49What's your name?
07:50I'm Angie.
07:51Tora, Tora.
07:52Oh, Tora.
07:53It ain't dry, though.
07:54No, it's just a little cherry.
07:56I am the spiritualist.
07:59I'm burning candles, I'm making pictures and things.
08:03I have never burnt a candle to get a man,
08:06but I have burnt a candle 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, what'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.
08:23Yo, yo.
08:24Yo, yo.
08:25Come on, come holler at me, baby.
08:30Everybody looking good.
08:32Uh-huh, uh-huh.
08:34When Tommie 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?
08:44Yeah.
08:45Or should I say my beautiful jaws?
08:47Yeah.
08:48Beautiful jaws.
08:49Did I say that right?
08:51You said it wrong.
08:51You said it wrong.
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.
08:58Tommie did not say jaw right, no.
09:00Like, it's a flow.
09:01That jaw look good.
09:02That jaw taste good.
09:04No, give me that jaw over there.
09:07It 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.
09:29But tonight, there will be one very special difference.
09:34OK.
09:35Oh, no.
09:36I 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,
09:48I'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.
09:59Woo!
10:00The 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.
10:14Woo!
10:14This is a wedding.
10:15Our wedding is crazy.
10:18Our wedding is crazy.
10:24Y'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.

10:41Yes.
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.
10:48Like, who could it actually really be?
10:52Without further ado, please welcome Cornelius and Camille.

12:13All right, I see you, boy.
12:16All right.
12:17Well, let me say, I am elated that you
12:19allowed me to officiate this.
12:22I went through a lot to get the proper connection.
12:26OK?
12:27Tommy done some homework and everything.
12:29All right, all right.
12:30I know later that you guys will do this ceremony again
12:33with family and friends.
12:34But to come back and show love where the journey began,
12:37that's where I'm grateful.
12:39Amen, amen.
12:40So time for the vows.
12:42All right.
12:43Three years ago, started this process
12:46when I saw this beautiful, chocolate, curvaceous woman
12:51with a lot of personality, a lot of charisma, and a lot of spunk.
12:56Lord only knew that we'd be still standing here today.
13:00Camille, your pursuit of excellence in everything you do,
13:04your character, your willingness to serve,
13:07being a caring person, and becoming a loving person
13:11that I have prayed for.
13:13You have shown me, through it all,
13:15you are beautiful not only on the outside,
13:18but also on the inside.
13:20I pray that God continues to shine a light on our relationship
13:25and guide us into our future union.
13:28Woo!
13:29Camille?
13:30He did that.
13:31How you gonna top that, baby girl?
13:34From the moment we had our very first conversation
13:37at the mansion meetup, I knew you were different.
13:39But I had no clue I was actually meeting my person.
13:42You met me during a time when I felt like
13:45I was a strong, independent person
13:47because I felt like I had to be as a single mother.
13:51I do recall one day you said to me flat out,
13:54Camille, you're going to have to chill out
13:56and allow me to lead if you're going to be in my life.
13:59Your statement caused me to pause and reflect.
14:02I packed away my mis-independent cape
14:04because I was able to see that your actions spoke louder than your words.
14:08You have helped me to reveal a much softer version of myself,
14:11and I thank you.
14:12You have loved me in a way that I've never been loved before.
14:17Thank you for loving me.
14:19Thank you for being my best friend, my snuggle buddy,
14:22my protector, and my provider.
14:25And lastly, thank you for being a positive role model
14:28and a wonderful example of a God-fearing man for my son.
14:32Thank you for showing him what it looks like
14:34when his mother is loved correctly.
14:36Woo!
14:42I was like this.
14:43Just seeing how real their relationship were,
14:46hearing their personalities and watching her cry,
14:48I thought that was just beautiful.
14:50Camille J. Hazel.
14:51Doctor.
14:52That's not going in there.
14:55Let Tommy fix that.
14:58Doctor Camille J. Hazel,
15:01you take Camille as your bride,
15:03to be your lawfully wedded husband.
15:05Will you honor and cherish her,
15:07love, trust, and commit to her,
15:09through joy and pain, sickness and health,
15:12and whatever curveballs may come your way,
15:15until death do you part?
15:18I do.
15:19Cornelius Bryant,
15:21you take Camille Hazel to be your lawfully wedded wife.
15:25Will you honor and cherish her,
15:27and whatever curveballs may be thrown at you,
15:31until death do you part?
15:33I do.
15:34Camille, you may place the ring
15:36on Cornelius' finger.
15:41You may place the ring on her finger.
15:50And now, by the power vested in me,
15:54by God,
15:55and more recently,
15:56the state of Pennsylvania,
15:59I now pronounce you
16:01husband and wife.
16:04Brother, you may kiss your bride.
16:13When I saw Cornelius and Camille,
16:15it looked like a true, genuine love,
16:18and wanting to be with someone
16:20because you want that person.
16:22It was inspiring. It truly was inspiring.
16:24Before you leave, Camille,
16:25we got to throw this bouquet.
16:28Beautiful ladies,
16:29can 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.
16:44That's somebody.
16:45That's on a man right there.
16:47She yanked it.
16:48It was like a Mortal Kombat move.
16:53To me, it was like, okay, Ange.
16:55Ladies and gentlemen,
16:56one 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?
17:08For real?
17:10I was holding back my tears, too.
17:13I hope y'all were inspired by it, man.
17:15Because listen, one day,
17:16that could be you.
17:17Right.
17:18And that journey begins
17:19right here, right now.
17:22There are 10 of you here.

18:17I just married two people.
18:18You know what I'm saying?
18:19Yeah, I did.
18:20Yes, I did.
18:24These look like
18:25our wedding glasses.
18:26You see that impression?
18:27There we go.
18:29I'm so greedy.
18:30It is.
18:31Wee!
18:32The height got me.
18:33In the past,
18:34I dated shorter men,
18:35but they come up big
18:36in other areas.
18:37Can I say that?
18:38Jay and Kee,
18:39they asked me
18:40if I was skipping,
18:41running,
18:42or jogging to love.
18:44But, yes,
18:45the shoe size
18:46looked a little nice.
18:48His hair was tamed.
18:49Like, he looked really good.
18:50But, no,
18:51that 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.
18:58Like, no matter what it was.
18:59You know?
19:00It's 11 of us, so...
19:02Damn, you have 10 siblings?
19:03Yes.
19:04I got six brothers.
19:05Whew!
19:06God damn.
19:07Boys gotta come correct out here, yo.
19:08It's gonna be a task force
19:09coming for you.
19:10Yeah.
19:11I think it's really cool
19:12that Angie's such a
19:13family-oriented girl
19:14because, for me,
19:15I'm pretty close
19:16with my parents.
19:17I would definitely say
19:18that I was more
19:19of a mama's boy.
19:20She has played
19:21such an important role
19:22in my life.
19:23When I do find success,
19:24whether that's in business
19:25or romance,
19:26I give her, you know,
19:27a good amount of the credit.
19:28Do you want a lot of kids
19:30or you just want...
19:31Between one and three.
19:33I, for sure,
19:34want to be a father.
19:35Honestly, my nephew's
19:36so adorable, man.
19:37He's cute,
19:38and it just looks fun.
19:39Nice.
19:40So I see it.
19:41You feel like you got a type?
19:42A type of man?
19:43Yeah, a type that
19:44you see yourself dating
19:45or you're attracted to.
19:46I'm gonna go ahead
19:47out there and tell you
19:48that I'm actually
19:49really attracted to you.
19:50Word.
19:51I appreciate that saying.
19:52Gorgeous, shorty.
19:53Yep.
19:54Like, you're just versatile.
19:55That's hot.
19:57I can't wait
19:58to see Wayne again.
19:59I was happy that he asked
20:00for my number
20:01because so far,
20:02that's home.
20:03No, not yet.
20:04Too fast, too soon.
20:05Is it?
20:06But...
20:07Funny how we always
20:08find each other.
20:09Hey, it ain't nothing
20:10straight, baby.
20:11You know?
20:17Are you full American
20:18or are you...
20:19I'm full American.
20:20Okay, okay.
20:21People be like,
20:22oh, you like Omar Epps?
20:23Oh, yes, you do.
20:24Okay, yes, yes.
20:25Do you naturally
20:26wear glasses
20:27or are you trying to be cute?
20:28No, I'm blind as...
20:29Well, can you see me?
20:30I can definitely
20:31see you in that gown.
20:32Can you see that?
20:33When I first met True,
20:34I'm like, wow,
20:35who is this, you know?
20:36And I thought
20:37she kind of felt confident
20:38in what she wanted
20:39when she saw me.
20:40And I was like, you know,
20:41let me just sit down
20:42and get to know her.
20:43You are beautiful.
20:45I appreciate that.
20:46A baddie.
20:47A baddie?
20:48Yeah, I can see it
20:49in your eyebrows.
20:50Oh, not the brows.
20:51Yeah, that's how you wear them.
20:52I don't play about
20:53You have to ask these men
20:54why they don't want to commit.
20:55Yeah.
20:56Why don't they
20:57want to step up?
20:58You sound like
20:59you've been through it.
21:00Come on now.
21:01I ain't.
21:02Go use the insurance
21:03and go get the therapy.
21:04What do you think
21:05about therapy?
21:06It's essential.
21:07I love you.
21:08It's essential.
21:09Are you kissing?
21:10I love you for that.
21:11I definitely took the time
21:12after my relationships
21:13to reflect
21:14and to do the healing.
21:15And I think that's something
21:16a lot of people don't do.
21:17I've done the work
21:18and I'm just ready now
21:19for someone that's new
21:21healthy and positive.
21:22I think in the past
21:23I went in too fast.
21:24That's me.
21:25Why do you think
21:26you do that?
21:27Probably because
21:28I was adopted.
21:29You know,
21:30trying to identify
21:31unconditional love
21:32inside of my family,
21:33inside of my own identity.
21:34Those things,
21:35you know,
21:36feeling abandoned,
21:37those feelings
21:38make me feel that way
21:39about who I love
21:40and how I am
21:41in a relationship.
21:42That's good.
21:43Thanks for being transparent.
21:44No, no doubt.
21:45That was fun.
21:46He really broke down
21:47those walls.
21:48I got to learn a lot
21:49about his past traumas.
21:50And I'm looking forward
21:51to what he has
21:52in store for me.
21:53It's a therapy.
21:54It's a therapy
21:55and your nails.
21:56It's a therapy
21:57and my no nails.
21:58And your no nails,
21:59not caring.
22:00I love it.
22:01Listen.
22:02I didn't even
22:03introduce myself.
22:04My name's Jay.
22:05Nice meeting you.
22:06Yes.
22:07Kiki.
22:08She definitely caught my eye.
22:09You know,
22:10I like her energy
22:11and then she curvaceous.
22:12I just had to
22:13see what was going on
22:14real quick.
22:15I had to, you know,
22:16scope the scenery out.
22:17I feel like going out,
22:19I feel like everybody
22:20wins situationships.
22:21You a baddie,
22:22so I guess most guys
22:23may be intimidated,
22:24so they got to put on
22:25a persona when they see you.
22:26Intimidated about what?
22:27The whiz in the club.
22:28You got to do extra to get you.
22:29Facts.
22:30I understand.
22:31Man, I'm trying to read me.
22:32You feel like you can
22:33look at me and read me.
22:34But it's okay.
22:35I'm real loving, though.
22:36Okay.
22:37You got this.
22:38I'm real genuine.
22:39I got two.
22:40Boy and a girl.
22:41I was in a relationship
22:42for 11 years.
22:43Okay.
22:44Whatever's good.
22:45I'm not left.
22:46I walked away.
22:47You and Mommy had a problem?
22:48Nah.
22:49Well, I'ma make sure
22:50I go get this money.
22:51I don't got time
22:52to be bickering
22:53about the small stuff.
22:54Okay.
22:55You know?
22:56Okay, so what you doing
22:57for work?
22:58So I just focus on my career.
22:59I do cybersecurity, so.
23:00I like men at work.
23:01Yeah, I love to work.
23:02Okay.
23:03Me and Jay hit it off.
23:04Everything that he said
23:05is everything
23:06that I am looking for.
23:07That's going to be
23:08my man, my man, my man.
23:09Like, he might be the one.
23:10We just seen a wedding
23:11happen.
23:12I got to get married here.
23:13Why?
23:14Because my mom's
23:15good at airplanes
23:16and then, like,
23:17the little small job
23:18where it's just,
23:19you know what I mean?
23:20Us, it could be somewhere else.
23:21Look at you,
23:22speaking things into fruition.
23:23Oh, I'm all about that.
23:24Okay.
23:25If you don't do that,
23:26I don't know what you doing.
23:27Mm.
23:28All right,
23:29so how many of us
23:30have been divorced?
23:31Oh.
23:32No.
23:33Here's to longevity.
23:34Aw.
23:35It wasn't really
23:36a good decision
23:37for me to get married.
23:38The first time I got married
23:39was right after my mom died.
23:40The second time I got married,
23:41it was right after my dad
23:42died,
23:43and I was like,
23:44the second time I got married,
23:45it was right after my dad died.
23:46They were always together.
23:47They did everything together.
23:48And they said
23:49chivalry was dead.
23:50So now,
23:51I've definitely
23:52set the bar high for me
23:53when it comes to
23:54finding the right person
23:55because I want
23:56what my parents said.
23:57So,
23:58when is the last time
23:59you've been in a relationship?
24:00It's been five years
24:01since I've been single.
24:02I've been single
24:03for one year.
24:04Me and my ex
24:05broke up because
24:06he had issues.
24:07That's fake.
24:08You know.
24:09Was he a chronic
24:10masturbator?
24:11Like,
24:12shouldn't he be
24:13saving his energy for you?
24:14Will is crazy.
24:16Okay.
24:17But,
24:18I'm coming into this journey
24:19with an open mind
24:20and an open heart.
24:21So,
24:22I'm definitely willing
24:23to give him a chance.
24:24All right.
24:25So,
24:26kids.
24:27You want them?
24:28If I'm with a woman
24:29who doesn't want to have kids,
24:30I'm okay not having kids.
24:31Okay.
24:32So, like,
24:33if you ask me,
24:34like,
24:35do you want kids?
24:36I'm going to say,
24:37yeah.
24:38I'm not going to say,
24:39oh,
24:40if the man I want him to want kids
24:41because that don't have
24:42to be the case.
24:43I'm going to say,
24:44no,
24:45I don't want kids.
24:46But you just said
24:47you want kids
24:48regardless of what the man thinks.
24:49So,
24:50your answer is the same as mine.
24:51It's not.
24:52I'm so confused
24:53with your answer right now.
24:54It's like,
24:55we were given the same answer,
24:56but,
24:57ultimately,
24:58we agreed to disagree
24:59that we agreed.
25:00Like,
25:01this is crazy.
25:02Baby,
25:03if you snore
25:04and I'm putting a pillow
25:05over your head,
25:06that's it for you.
25:07No more breathing.
25:08So,
25:09you would murder your husband
25:10if you breathed too loud
25:12Let's hop over here.
25:13I'm not stepping in goats.
25:14Then neither am I.
25:15Uh-uh.
25:16This is toast
25:17and toast to the goats.
25:18Yes,
25:19toast to the goats.
25:20There we go.
25:21Yo,
25:22here is it.
25:23Toast,
25:24hair.
25:25I'm like,
25:26there she go.
25:27This is me,
25:28and I'm like,
25:29yeah,
25:30give me more of you steak.
25:31So,
25:32tell me about yourself.
25:33I'm a gym owner.
25:34I got a nutrition bar
25:35inside of Germantown
25:36helping the hood get healthy.
25:37Dad,
25:38love being a dad.
25:39Okay.
25:41They give you a run for your money.
25:42Oh, please.
25:43Two boys is a lot.
25:44My little son
25:45is like super duper
25:46attached to me.
25:47You know,
25:48he wants to live in my skin
25:49like that's how.
25:50I don't blame him.
25:51I'm crying.
25:52I don't blame you.
25:53How many kids you have?
25:54Five.
25:55Five?
25:56Five babies.
25:57Oh my God.
25:58You got baby mama drama.
25:59I have three baby moms.
26:00It just came with
26:01a little bit of drama.
26:02So,
26:03I don't really allow
26:04any BS right now.
26:05Three baby moms,
26:06that's a bit much.
26:07I wouldn't even be able
26:08to do nothing like this
26:09if I had somebody
26:10that really took me serious.
26:11You know what I mean?
26:12We old.
26:13Hold it.
26:14All right, wait.
26:15Not too much
26:16because we not old.
26:17I'm not old.
26:18Do you have like an ex-wife?
26:19Do you have stragglers
26:20that think that
26:21they can still
26:22spin the block on you
26:23just like anybody
26:24that you want to
26:25spin the block on?
26:26That red flag
26:27is not looking like
26:28six flags for me.
26:29Honestly,
26:30years ago,
26:31me playing games,
26:32it probably would have been
26:33me in this situation
26:34playing games.
26:35Years ago.
26:36I don't want
26:37somebody coming into my life
26:38and making me do something
26:39that's not for me.
26:40I'm not an axe.
26:41I'm just a man.
26:42I've been through
26:43a lot,
26:44but I don't want
26:45somebody coming into my life
26:46and making me do something
26:47that's not for me.
26:48I want my ex-wife
26:49to be an axe.
26:50I want my ex-wife
26:51to be a strong woman.
26:52I want her to be
26:53a powerful woman.
26:54I want her
26:55to have the power
26:56to be able to
26:57do what she wants
26:58and to be able to
26:59take that away
27:00from her
27:01and to be able to
27:02do whatever she wants
27:03and to be able to
27:04focus on her
27:05and to to be able
27:06to have her
27:07I don't know if her hair is the right way.
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.
27:26They're money.
27:27You don't want to put all your hands in your pockets.
27:29Angie was cool, too, though.
27:30I'm like, I'm trying to marry her, you know what I'm saying?
27:32At the 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.
27:48Let me move over here.
27:48Right, right, right.
27:49Eddie is definitely my ideal type.
27:52Tall, handsome, clean nails.
27:54Oh my god, you got to have clean nails.
27:56Are you from Philly?
27:57Born and raised.
27:58How about yourself?
27:59Me, too.
28:00Uptown.
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?
28:08I'm a stripper.
28:09You are?
28:10Oh, wow.
28:11What?
28:12No, I'm a firefighter.
28:15For real?
28:16Hey, guys.
28:17I love her.
28:17I know.
28:18Firefighter.
28:19I know.
28:20I know.
28:21Everybody 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.
28:30Yeah, no fear.
28:31When Deanna told me her career, that got me.
28:34Being a firefighter, you gotta, you know,
28:36rise to the occasion.
28:37I see that we got the same type of strong mind.
28:40Absolutely.
28:41Yeah.
28:42She's beautiful, ambitious, and she about her business.
28:45I'm scared of you.
28:46I don't know how I'm scared of you.
28:48So they said.
28:49Them ladies 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'll lick it some more.
29:00So both of my marriages happened right
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.
29:14Right.
29:15I'm just like, how do you know?
29:16It didn't take me long to realize this ain't working.
29:20I never, I 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, it's never serious.
29:29My second marriage was a year or two.
29:30Damn.
29:31Like, what do you mean?
29:32I don't know.
29:32I don't 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.
29:44Isn't that getting to the breast?
29:45Yeah.
29:46I got you.
29:51What's your last name, Jones, though?
29:52True Jones.
29:53True Jones.
29:54See, look, I like that.
29:55I like true, period.
29:56Yes.
29:56Me 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.
30:17Love.
30:17I've been doing my little playa thing,
30:19and I'm out here running around.
30:20Not the playa thing. Check.
30:21Playa.
30:22You know, yeah.
30:23You said it.
30:24I'm single.
30:25I don't got no woman I'm dealing with.
30:26I cut them all off, but be prior to the date.
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.
30:3411 years?
30:35Yeah, 11 years.
30:36It's giving you don't do commitment.
30:38We was 19 when we got together.
30:39I didn't have my flunk for the last four years.
30:42Oh, so you was a whore for the last four years?
30:45Playa.
30:46I ain't say ho.
30:46That's even worse.
30:47No.
30:48I was dating.
30:49OK.
30:50I said the playa word, and she took that as if I'm out here
30:53f***ing everything moving.
30:54And it was like, what?
30:56What was wrong about you?
30:57I'm super loyal.
30:58No, no, no, no.
30:58I'm super loving.
31:00Oh my god.
31:02You keep 21 questing me and label me a ho,
31:05we're going to have an issue.
31:06The woman tried to hold it over my head, like, oh,
31:08you 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 be like, OK.
31:17He's reformed.
31:18He seem like a playa.
31:19No, I don't even, bro.
31:20Forget it.
31:21F*** it.
31:21Mm.
31:27Camille, the first day, she came in like, that's my man.
31:30God, that's not so fun.
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 man
31:42to man talk with y'all.
31:43Ladies, y'all got to be out, ladies.
31:45Let me take my champagne.
31:47I'm going to send all these Jones home, bud.
31:50Hate to see you go.
31:51I'd love to watch you leave.
31:52I just bet you do.
31:53This is not easy.
31:55But to really focus in on a good 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?
32:03So will it let you make 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
32:10interested in learning more about.
32:12Angie was pretty good, too, though.
32:13But me and DeAndra, she's an ambitious woman.
32:15What's her profession?
32:16She's a fire woman.
32:17Oh, that's your league.
32:19You can light a fire and put it out.
32:21Ha ha ha.
32:23What y'all like so far?
32:24DeAndra'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 to me.
32:31I'm like, OK, D, OK.
32:33Hold up.
32:34Kiera, the woman that's like high fashion,
32:36they keep you on your toes.
32:37I got to make sure she's strict.
32:39Key, you know, her being a mom, her unconditional love
32:42is there, you can just tell.
32:45How you ladies doing?
32:46We hanging on in there.
32:48You got five handsome men y'all met today.
32:50Mm.
32:51Kiera, mm.
32:52I'm starting with that.
32:53I got to start with, who is it?
32:54I do.
32:55It's kind of me.
32:56Who is it that you made a connection with?
32:57I'm feeling Jay.
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.
33:15I like that he's tall.
33:16Eddie was just more like, just, yeah,
33:19no one was like, damn, that's it.
33:23Any good connections so far?
33:25Mr. Rick Fox, Eddie.
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, he's interesting.
33:33There's nothing about him that's like,
33:35you've seen before, I know this type of guy.
33:38And I am, like, excited because I'm
33:40hearing that you're a firefighter.
33:41They didn't tell you I was a stripper?
33:43No, there was a poll involved.
33:45OK.
33:46Now you can give me this.
33:48Is there any that just don't peak you in?
33:52I would say Sahara.
33:54Being from Philly, you get that little city girl
33:57vibe, like, a little rough.
33:58I get it.
33:59Who would we not feel?
34:00Sahara.
34:01Yes, sir.
34:02Yeah, we could be great friends, but.
34:03You don't feel an intimate connection?
34:05An intimate connection.
34:06Whom else?
34:07True.
34:07Because I joke around, and she really
34:09wondered why he was like this.
34:11Why was you a player?
34:13For true, it was a good connection.
34:15It 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 with 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.
34:30He got the party started too fast.
34:32Will.
34:33Is it a deaf comedy jam all day?
34:35It was just a bit much for me.
34:37All right.
34:38I just want to see where you are.
34:39Your boat is journey's 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.
35:01All right.
35:02We are gathered once again.
35:04I want to thank everybody for being here,
35:06putting yourself out there.
35:07This ain't easy.
35:08I get it.
35:09Yeah.
35:09As y'all know, I've been making my rounds,
35:12seeing who's feeling who and who's
35:14not making any connections.
35:17And it's time for y'all to find out what's what.
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, not going to lie.
35:32Unfortunately, one of you will be ending
35:34your journey right here.
35:36You calling me out with Will?
35:39My 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.
36:04Will, you are not ready to love.
36:11You know, I understand.
36:12I get it.
36:13You know, I'm not everyone's cup of tea.
36:15But at the end of the day, I'm always
36:16going to bring my own energy.
36:18And some people will love me for it.
36:20Some people will send me home.
36:22Naeem, you can quit sweating.
36:26You can return to the group.
36:29True.
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.
36:40Sahara and True, please come forward.
36:46I'm like, I know they lying.
36:48Who?
36:49Sahara, who?
36:50Me?
36:51True, the guys enjoy talking to you.
36:54But at times, it felt like there 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.
37:14Now, 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.
37:31Okay.
37:32True, you may return to the group.
37:36Get your breath.
37:38Man, I was ramped 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.
37:45We've had a wedding.
37:47Sparks been flying all over the place.
37:50But you know, Tommy, what I do, I keep curve balls.
37:55There's nobody in the major leagues can 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?
38:03Yes.
38:04All right, here's the curve.
38:06After a bit of thinking, I don't think it's fair to eliminate anybody
38:11without giving them the opportunity to meet the other ten that will be joining soon.
38:18So, Sahara and Will, what would you say if I offered you the chance to do this one more time
38:23and tomorrow meet ten more of Philly's finest singers?
38:28I feel good, man.
38:29Right.
38:30Feel like telling a joke, so 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.
38:36Sahara, how you feel?
38:38I'm okay.
38:39You're okay?
38:40Any thoughts at all?
38:41I would like to say that I'm not with nobody behind me.
38:44You'd like to say what?
38:45I'm moving forward.
38:46I'm done with the whole group.
38:47I want the next five.
38:48You want the next five?
38:49Yeah.
38:50You're done with this group?
38:51How could you not feel me?
38:53Come on now, stop.
38:54I don't know.
38:55F-U-U-U.
38:56Everything back there with a stick.
38:58It's over.
38:59That's wild.
39:00Wait a minute.
39:01What do I do?
39:02Love and light.
39:03Love and light, baby.
39:04Damn.
39:05Dang.
39:06I want the next five.
39:07You want the next five?
39:08Yeah.
39:09You're done with this group?
39:10Not with none of y'all.
39:11Us?
39:12You're done.
39:14Philly is in the house on this season of Ready to Love.
39:18All of you are here to put independence in the past
39:22and open yourself up to falling in love
39:24and depending on somebody else other than yourself.
39:28Oh, we got some chocolate, y'all.
39:30How you doing?
39:33This whole realm, baby, I'm bringing sexy back.
39:36Sahara.
39:37Oh, like the desert.
39:38Feels like the desert.
39:39Okay.
39:40A little bit wetter, though.
39:42I am ready to find my man.
39:43Take it off.
39:44Take it off.
39:45I'm hot anywhere.
39:48All right, let's get out there and see where we meet her.
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, good 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.
40:24Why did you give me a fake number?
40:26Fake number, real number.
40:27You still didn't contact me.
40:28I don't want to talk no more.
40:32And no disrespect to you, this is not a game show.
40:35Yo, yo, let's get Sahara off of here.
40:37Stop with the bullshit, bro.
40:41The issue is that you don't create boundaries.
40:43That'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 has come to an end.
40:56I don't want you to go home.
40:57I've been dealing with trying to figure out like who I really am sometimes.
41:01I wanted to always the fire to burn.
41:03What happens tomorrow, I started today.
41:08When we go from the Liberty Bell to wedding bells, it's simply time to decide if this is love or not.
41:15And find out who is truly ready to love.
