08:27second chance at the first mixer I had a chance to get some criticisms and
08:35critiques but I know women don't take me seriously because of the laughter it
08:38that's okay cuz I'm not looking for a super serious woman MC's name is Khalil
08:46and if you can't spell it you never will
08:51if a woman is so serious that you know being around someone that likes to laugh
08:57is a problem then I'm absolutely not the person for her I'm will like Smith but I
09:07don't slap people when they make jokes. I like that one. Nice to meet you, Will. Pleasure, pleasure.
09:13Hi. Hey, how's it going? I'm Sahara. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. I'm Tay.
09:17I'm Tay. Hello. Sahara's back in the house. Now in the first mixer, I was everybody's homie but
09:23this go round baby I'm bringing sexy back. JT ain't got nothing on me, baby.
09:28Sahara. Oh, like the desert. Just like the desert. Okay. Little bit wetter. Today I
09:34definitely step up my game. I got the pumps pumping. You feel me? I got the blue
09:39gluing and I wore a love potion. You look good though. Thank you. You look good. I seen you when you walked in. You seen me? I seen you seen me.
09:49I need a little bit more help from the spiritual side and I came out with a
09:54little secret potion. Cheers. I'm looking at me like that. Like what? You like this, I'm gonna keep on doing this.
10:05They was digging it. Y'all seen it. Pleasure to meet you. I'm sorry, what's your name? Will.
10:11Oh yeah, okay. I know you from somewhere. No, I don't know you. All right. You got one of them
10:18faces, huh? Stop playing, Tom. Hi. Hey, hey. What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? Come on in. Come on in. Billy is in the house. We in the house. Yes, we are.
10:31I was so excited to see Tommy for the first time. He is fresh to death. Okay, baby.
10:36He threw it on. It's the smooth. I feel like a true patriot out here today.
10:42Look at this beautiful building over my shoulder. That is Independence Hall. Inside those walls,
10:48American Founding Fathers signed the Declaration of Independence.
10:53But on this season of Ready to Love, we about to do the opposite.
10:59All of you are here to put independence in the page.
11:04Open yourself up to falling in love and depending on somebody else other than yourself.
11:12Breach. It's time to dial in and make some connections. Who's looking to make a real connection?
11:20All right, we're gonna find out now. Today is step one. All you got to do is open up to each other.
11:28Mix it up and make as many connections as possible. Bottom line, you want to take this
11:34opportunity seriously. Did y'all come here for a serious situation? Come here to find love.
11:40That's all I'm looking for. As long as you're here to find it, I'm gonna help you find it.
11:44Came to run games. Tommy gonna run you up out of here. The one man and one woman who don't take
11:49this seriously, they're gonna find themselves on the wrong side of history. That is known as elimination.
12:01Two of us are going home. I'm scared. Like, please don't let it be me.
12:06Let's give a round of applause for what we're looking for. Come on. Come on. Come on.
12:12We're looking for love. This is ready to love. And you know what they say. What? Stay ready.
12:18You ain't got to get ready. Dessert. Y'all ready? Yeah. Are you ready? Yeah. We gonna see.
12:27I ain't going home. Not this time. Because today, I showed up. You hear me? I look good. I feel good.
12:34And I smell good. And it's all good. So, baby, I'm stinging. That's it.
12:51Are we in competition with each other? Us? Yeah. Like, how does this work? No.
12:57Not like us, me and you. Okay. I'm talking about... Unless you like men, too.
13:03Bruh. What's going on? You need some time. What's going on? Oh, my goodness. I'm loving,
13:08I'm loving this melanin over here. So, what's going on? Tell me about yourself. So, the name,
13:12Hussein. Hussein. From West Philadelphia. So, a lot of people get your name mixed up for Hassan.
13:17Yeah, they screw it up all the time. Okay. I'm very interested in getting to know Hussein.
13:22If I had to build my own man, he got to be taller than me. So, I'm liking what I see here.
13:27So, what do you do for a living? I am a hairstylist. I also make my own
13:31beard oil as well. So, yeah, I checked you out already. I picked that from the door when I...
13:36Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like that. So, I'm into interior design. Interior design? Yeah, interior
13:41design is my thing. Visual design and stuff like that. That is wonderful. You made me onto
13:45something here. One thing I do like is interior decorating. Yeah, interior design is totally my
13:50thing. I'm 6'7". Growing up, I played a lot of basketball, but as I got older, I started to
13:55realize that visual design and interior design was actually what I really wanted to do. So,
14:00what I like most about Rose, besides that amazing dress that she had on that complimented her
14:04complexion and her face very well, was just the ability that she had to be creative. She showed
14:08me some of the interior design work that she did, and I really like that. Oh, I see that. You killed
14:13that. Oh, you're teaching me. No, I like that. Everybody calling me a show-off, but I'm really
14:19just trying to cool off. They see you showing off your chest. Yeah, big muscles and everything.
14:24Definitely not. If you had a dad bod, would the shirt have come off? Yes. Okay. If I'm hot,
14:31I'm hot. You did the right thing. Francisco is very handsome. I always like guys to have that
14:38look. Puerto Rican, Dominican, you know. I just like the spiciness. It's cute. Do you get out and
14:43do stuff? Oh my gosh, you have to. I work, I work out, sleep, and repeat the same process.
14:50And do the same thing again, right? And I feel like that's why no one meets each other here.
14:55Right? I would say that I am a serial entrepreneur because I do so many things. It's just hard to
15:01meet people. You're working, you have long hours. At the end of the day, most people I know just
15:05want to go home and take a bath, so here I am. I feel like I'm guilty of that too. I wake up,
15:11I'm doing my meditation, I'm praying, I'm doing Pilates, and I don't want to break my routine.
15:16At all. I think I've done Pilates once. You did? You tried it? I popped in a DVD. Okay. Did five
15:22minutes. I said, it's too hard. Wait, you didn't even do it on the Reformer? The machine? What
15:27do you mean the machine? Because now I'm scared. No, it's one end, it has these cords or whatever,
15:32and just moving. I don't know. That don't sound like no workout stuff. It is. That doesn't sound
15:37like I'm going to be tied up and gagged up somewhere. How are you? I'm doing great. How
15:43are you? Thank you. I appreciate it. You got me out here sweating, man. Do you want this napkin?
15:48I'm ready. You stay ready. You don't have to get ready like Tommy was saying. That's what I heard.
15:53I'm not sure I have an advantage the second time around.
15:57There's a lot going through my mind. Clearly, I know the heat is going to be a factor.
16:02You're a Jersey boy. Terri Hill. Terri Hill, that's where all the shopping is.
16:06So you're a shopper? What woman isn't? Touche. Are you not? I'm not a woman, no. Are you not a
16:14shopper? I can't say I'm a shopper. I don't know if you're not a woman, actually. But I'm going to
16:18take your word for it. Can't tell nowadays. But I'm getting that type of conversation.
16:22Somebody might get canceled. Oh, no. Don't get me canceled. I think Will might have like a
16:30I think Will might have like a nervous laugh.
16:36Will is just a lot.
16:41I'm very flexible.
16:45In more ways than one or just? I mean, in all the ways possible.
16:49I do like chocolate. I had started to go over to the vanilla side because the chocolate was
16:54doing me wrong. Like it was giving me a stomach ache. Wednesday? I was like, I'm dying out here
16:58in East Street. Man, I'm sorry for that. On behalf of the Dark Skinned Committee,
17:02I apologize you had to go through that. Yes, thank you. I appreciate that apology.
17:06I don't know if I should reveal this, but you're like the personal fave amongst the guys. If I
17:10could speak for me, absolutely. Well, I'm going to join your company, okay? And I was like,
17:14I gotta go talk to you because I felt as though that we didn't get a chance to talk.
17:18Tay? Perfect. She came in vibrant. There was a certain presence and glow about her that
17:25was just second to none. How old are you? 36. I'm actually celebrating my birthday next Friday.
17:31Do you have any birthday plans? I was supposed to be in Panama.
17:35You got triple shots? Nah, I've chalked it. What?
17:38Wrote it off. I told myself what I might gain on this is more than what I'm going to lose.
17:46And that's the truth? On that. And that's the truth? Yeah, you're just,
17:48you're losing some liquid, some cash, but I could be gaining a whole lot.
17:53I like the fact that he has been to many, many places, has been exposed to different cultures,
17:57and I want a man that could teach me. I want to learn from him. So I definitely
18:02could see myself in the future with Rick. I've done some things, but I've always
18:07thought like, what if I did it with someone else? Like, I've seen some views.
18:13I mean, that's exactly what I'm talking about. A vacation, yeah.
18:16You know what? I'm going to be honest. I wanted to call my mom because I think
18:19I found your daughter-in-law. I've literally seen some views and some
18:23sunsets. Like, I have to show someone this. Wow.
18:25But I haven't met the person to show it to you. I am looking.
18:31I appreciate you.
18:37Now, what you do? I'm a firefighter.
18:40And... I love a man in uniform.
18:42Okay. Oh, hey.
18:43You see out there? I love it.
18:47But wait, how many tattoos did you say you had?
18:49I don't know. I never counted. So this sleeve is dedicated to my brother.
18:52And I actually lost him. He took his own life.
18:57He was a year old. Yeah, it's a very difficult situation.
18:59I'm sorry.
19:01I recently went through a loss of mine of my brother.
19:06I work in a family business with my dad. My older brother who passed,
19:09he was a major, major component of the business. So it's a lot different now that he's not here.
19:14And it made me realize that life is short, that love is important. And,
19:23you know, I don't want to leave this world without it, without pouring into somebody.
19:27So, yeah, I got this full sleeve dedicated to him here.
19:30And then I got a couple other things. I got, like, my chest done and stuff like that.
19:33Oh, okay.
19:34But I don't know. I never really counted. You know how many you got?
19:36Yeah, since people ask me all the time.
19:38No, that's a fact.
19:38Me too, because I got a pair since I was...
19:39Oh, I like this extra drawing right here.
19:41Yes, thank you.
19:42See, I'm trying to get a little blip of Africa in my globe joint.
19:45This is my travel-inspired joint right here.
19:47See, this is my travel joint.
19:48Oh, okay. Oh, yo, we got too much in common. We got to stop.
19:52We just have so many similarities. It's crazy. Like I said, you like to travel.
19:56He has been so many different places.
19:58I've been to Africa. I went to Tanzania. And hearing them hyenas at night,
20:04it really do sound like a laugh.
20:05We just have different things in common.
20:08Hey, guys, what's going on?
20:09But then at the same time, I haven't talked to him yet or him.
20:12I need to not stay steady on one person.
20:16Walking, you see Buffalo with little eyes and a jaw.
20:19I'm like, bro, so that was one of the craziest...
20:21That's when I was like, uh-uh.
20:21Yeah, that was what...
20:23And I'd have been doing this whole thing, like, hell no.
20:27I've never asked what you do before work.
20:29So I'm an entrepreneur.
20:31Okay.
20:31So I'm in healthcare. I own a group home.
20:34I also have a trucking company. So I have an online store.
20:38Okay.
20:38I used to be a celebrity stylist.
20:40Okay.
20:41Looking to build an app.
20:42I don't think I could be with a woman that talks about her work all the time.
20:46Like, I love that you're passionate about what you do.
20:49But if you can't separate yourself from your job, then that's a problem.
20:53And you said you do trucking and...
20:55I do residential habilitation.
20:57So Shanice, we really didn't get too deep.
21:00A lot of the questions were around business.
21:02So that was kind of a red flag for me.
21:05So you got a lot of different businesses going. You do a lot of different things.
21:07I do.
21:08Tied up a lot of time.
21:09Yeah.
21:10You making time for dating and stuff?
21:12I don't have, like, free time for shenanigans. No.
21:16Okay.
21:24The first time I ever came to Philadelphia, I was like,
21:27oh my god, there's pollution falling from the sky.
21:30And then everyone was like, you dumb ass, that's snow.
21:34Okay.
21:35I have never been to Puerto Rico, but I want to go.
21:40Oh yeah, Puerto Rico, beautiful island, beautiful culture.
21:43Can you dance?
21:44I could do a little shimmy.
21:46Yeah.
21:51You trying to be all dainty.
21:53It's all in the hips, mommy. It's all in the hips.
21:55Oh, I don't, I can't really move my hips like that.
21:57It's all right.
21:58I gotta work with it.
21:59Seeing Tay, the dress she had on made her look like a goddess.
22:03My eyes was just drawn to her.
22:05Have you ever dated a Hispanic man?
22:10But I mean, like, you could talk to me in Spanish all night.
22:14And now you gotta teach me.
22:16You gotta stop making me blush, man.
22:18I like me some Cisco, baby.
22:21How many tattoos you got?
22:22Uh, like 10.
22:24Oh my god, you gotta see his muscles.
22:27Take it off, take it off.
22:28I'm hot anyway, I'm hot anyway.
22:30Take it off.
22:31He was sweating, y'all, but he got all these tattoos on here.
22:34He was just looking so scrumptious.
22:37So when was your last relationship?
22:39Um, like a year and a half ago.
22:41What about you?
22:42It was three and a half years ago, close to four.
22:44Okay.
22:45Thought she was the one, right?
22:47The reason why we kind of shifted is the insecurities was just a little bit too strong
22:54for me, right?
22:55It would be subtle, like, why you getting a haircut?
22:58Oh, it was like that?
22:59It's like things like that.
23:00And when I'm in a relationship, I'm gonna be like, one thing about me, I'm a straight
23:04sh—
23:05Have I cheated in the past?
23:07Yes.
23:08So my last relationship, we just went our separate ways.
23:17He cheated, okay?
23:18He cheated and tried to tell me he didn't cheat.
23:20I went to the phone, I saw the text message, he cheated.
23:22I saw your energy shift a little bit.
23:24I was like, I cheated in the past, right?
23:25You just, your face changed a little bit and it's cool.
23:29I mean, mm-hmm.
23:37I saw your energy shift a little bit.
23:38I was like, I cheated in the past, right?
23:40You just, your face changed a little bit.
23:44I was young, didn't know how to be in a relationship.
23:47When I started growing up, I said, listen, man, I don't have time for that.
23:50Like, it's just too much, too much.
23:53Now, where I'm at in life, I let it be known, hey, I'm getting into a relationship.
23:58So I'm asking you out of respect for me and my lady, no communication.
24:04I mean, I'm not like, oh my God, he cheated before.
24:10I'm about to go over there.
24:12Because it's kind of like, you were young, life happens.
24:14And that was part of your story.
24:16It's part of your journey.
24:18I know everyone has a past.
24:19No one's perfect.
24:20And the fact that he could sit there and tell me that
24:23and be honest about that the first day I saw him,
24:26he put himself out there and I respect it.
24:28I don't believe that's who you are.
24:29That's just what you did in the past.
24:31I'm not judging you over that.
24:32I hope not.
24:33I promise you, I'm not.
24:34She's a beautiful woman, beautiful energy.
24:38I felt like I can be myself with her.
24:40So I'm definitely wanting to explore and get to know her a little bit better.
24:43You want a hug?
24:46He's the first person I hug.
24:50Do you have children?
24:51I don't.
24:52You don't? Do you want children?
24:54I do.
24:55I do.
24:55For the longest, I never wanted kids.
24:57Yeah, I never wanted kids.
24:58And how old did you say you were?
25:0033.
25:01You're a baby.
25:04I like him.
25:05He got this bald head.
25:06I can appreciate it because it's nice and clean, like Mr. Clean.
25:09Very nice.
25:10No, but you look good, though.
25:11Did I?
25:11You're very mature.
25:12How old are you?
25:13Now, you know you're not supposed to ask a woman, right?
25:15I gotta know.
25:15But I'm gonna give you this benefit.
25:16I'm 38.
25:1738?
25:18OK.
25:18That's not bad.
25:19Are you open to dating women with children?
25:22I never have before, but I'm open.
25:25I didn't know that a grown man could get baby fever.
25:27But for some reason, the age I'm at now, I just want kids.
25:31You know, I want that white picket fence and the dog and the kids.
25:34I want that type of lifestyle now.
25:36Are you close with your family?
25:38I am.
25:38Uh-oh, I hear some hesitation there.
25:41What's going on?
25:42Talk to me.
25:42No, I love my family, honestly.
25:44I do.
25:45It's always been tension, though, because I was raised in a very religious household.
25:50I didn't follow what my parents wanted me to follow.
25:52So I went on my own way, and that was a major thing.
25:55Are you spiritual?
25:57You know, I'm not religious.
26:00I'm super open-minded, so I'm never going to close anything off.
26:03Yeah.
26:03But I know the process and how I operate, and I'm, you know,
26:06and that may not always be how I operate.
26:08I am a very spiritual woman.
26:10The guy that comes next, he don't have to be religious,
26:13but he have to have some type of spiritual beliefs.
26:16That is very, very important to me.
26:18Do you believe there's power in prayer?
26:21Yeah, whatever you call it.
26:22But I don't have to agree with everything that you do.
26:25Yeah, and that's true.
26:26I have to respect it, you know?
26:28So, and vice versa.
26:30You can actually see the curvature of the planet.
26:33It don't curve.
26:36What are you saying?
26:37I'm saying that it's flat.
26:38What is flat?
26:39The Earth.
26:40It turns up like the Earth.
26:43I mean, it's a globe, you know?
26:44Do you mean that?
26:46With all my heart.
26:47Like, she said it with conviction, too.
26:49Like, she was going in on this flat Earth thing.
26:53It's an orange flat, actually.
26:55And it ain't really much else to discuss.
26:59What would you say you're looking for in a person?
27:00Be kind, be tall.
27:02Everything else, leave it to God.
27:04Be kind and tall.
27:04Yeah.
27:05My type is tall.
27:07Like, at least 6'2".
27:10Okay, what else?
27:13Describe him.
27:15I don't care as long as he's 6'2".
27:17I've tried dating, like, shorter guys,
27:19but, like, it just kind of gets awkward.
27:22It's like, I hate that, though,
27:23because people are like, oh, you're heightest.
27:24And I'm like, I don't even know what the f*** that is.
27:27Initially, seeing Koli in that red dress was just like, pow.
27:30But I just didn't feel like we had anything
27:32really seriously to talk about.
27:34It more so just felt like conversation.
27:35I don't really broadcast mine.
27:37You don't have to.
27:39It broadcasts itself.
27:43This is stressful, man.
27:47I had no idea what to expect.
27:50It's like, hurry up and make a connection.
27:52Like, how the f*** do you do that?
27:55Make a connection?
27:57I just met this girl.
27:58Yeah, I know.
28:00Will is nervous.
28:02He just wasn't confident in himself.
28:03He just needed to calm down a little bit
28:05and just talk to the ladies.
28:07They're either gonna like you or not.
28:09Got a man and a woman going home tonight.
28:11That's crazy.
28:12Apparently, we already out of time.
28:14Damn.
28:17That's kinda wild.
28:18Let me go get some of these snacks
28:20before they kick me off this one.
28:23You know, I had the mindset of,
28:25don't expect too much.
28:26You already had five women that said
28:28you weren't ready for love.
28:29It's very possible that the next five
28:31are gonna feel the exact same way.
28:33I did my best.
28:34That's all I can do.
28:35That's all it is.
28:38Mix and mingle or go home single.
28:44Let's go out and do something.
28:46Let's go play racquetball.
28:48What's up, baby?
28:49What's up, Tom?
28:49How you feeling?
28:50I like the haircut.
28:50Can we talk?
28:51Oh, yeah.
28:51I like that haircut too.
28:53Miss Roe.
28:54All right now.
28:55Can you let me and the gentleman have this?
28:56Yes, I sure will.
28:57Let me move on over here.
28:59When I see Tommy talking to the guys,
29:01I was very scared about that
29:02because I'm like,
29:03this is not, this can't,
29:05it's not gonna be the end.
29:06But in my mind,
29:07I really didn't think it would be me,
29:09but it was still that 20% that it was like,
29:10yeah, girl, you could be wrong.
29:12You could be all the way wrong.
29:13First of all, how y'all enjoying everything so far?
29:15At first, I thought I was gonna be nervous the whole time.
29:18Yep.
29:18So I'm only nervous 99%.
29:2199%
29:22That was only 99.9999.
29:24Big Ben.
29:25What up?
29:26Look, I said, what's all this, Francisco?
29:28I don't know if you finna whoop my ass or what, dog.
29:30I come in peace.
29:31You come in peace.
29:32I hope so.
29:33Tell me who's caught your eye thus far.
29:35Oh, we name dropping?
29:36We name dropping.
29:37Okay.
29:38Tay, for sure.
29:39There was a certain vibe about her
29:41that made it easy to talk to you.
29:43And her dress, did you see it?
29:44I saw it.
29:46She has style.
29:47And you know, she had some flavor in her.
29:49She's a beautiful girl.
29:51Who are we feeling so far?
29:53Can I just give you the list, like right off the rip?
29:55We're gonna go one by one.
29:56Okay.
29:57Tay, Tay, Tay.
29:58Tay, Tay, Tay.
29:58Tay, Tay, Tay.
29:59Tay, Tay, Tay.
30:00What are the connections?
30:01I would say Rose.
30:02We had a lot alike as far as loving interior design.
30:06We share a lot of the same mentality on a lot of things.
30:09Rose is definitely my top right now.
30:11Wow.
30:12Yeah, for sure.
30:13Rocky from the get-go.
30:14We just connected a lot.
30:15We had a lot in common.
30:18How y'all doing?
30:18Y'all good?
30:19Yeah, so good.
30:20Who are we feeling so far?
30:21I like Fritz.
30:22He seems very smart, very educated.
30:25Fritz stood out to me because of the traveling.
30:28I'm feeling everybody.
30:31Francisco.
30:32I really was vibing with him and talking to him.
30:34He was one of the best guys I ever had.
30:36Really?
30:36Yeah.
30:37Usain.
30:38He takes care of himself.
30:39And he's tall.
30:40Like tall is always like-
30:41Tall always works.
30:43I'm a tall woman, so I'm like a heat-seeking missile
30:45kind of when I see the tallest man in the room.
30:48So Khalil and Cam have put a nice little star in my eye.
30:52Right.
30:52What is it about Khalil?
30:54Khalil, I feel like we have so much in common,
30:56and I don't feel like it's a struggle to talk to him.
30:58Khalil, and who else did you say?
31:00Cam.
31:01Cam.
31:03Did you notice how you said Cam?
31:06What is it about Cam?
31:07He's a very sweet person.
31:08And as far as like relationship-wise,
31:10it looks like we're looking for the same thing.
31:12I like Cam, too.
31:13He's looking at me like I'm lunch,
31:15and I don't have a problem with that.
31:17So who we not feeling?
31:18Who we not feeling?
31:21Sharnice, actually.
31:23She talked about entrepreneurship and business the entire time.
31:26It didn't really seem like she was interested-
31:28In relationships.
31:29In relationships type of things.
31:31She's entrepreneurial, which I love,
31:32but it just seemed like the conversation wasn't going anywhere.
31:36I don't care about what you got.
31:37I want to know who you are.
31:38I know that's right.
31:39Prince, who are your least connections?
31:41Who are my least connections?
31:42Tahara.
31:44She just comes a little strong.
31:46I don't think it's for me.
31:48Koli, the energy she gives off, it's like-
31:51It's a wall, man.
31:52Can I be real?
31:52Yeah, be real.
31:53It seemed like she was more excited when you came out.
31:55Me? Yes.
31:58I know, I know, bro.
32:00I know, but that's what I'm saying.
32:02We here for us.
32:03So you're saying she's here for the wrong reasons, pretty much.
32:06It seemed like it.
32:06When I was talking to her, everything was very surface level.
32:09During our conversation, we really just stayed at shell level.
32:11I didn't feel anything near.
32:12All right, baby.
32:13That's all the time we want.
32:14That's all the time we want.
32:15All right.
32:16Thank you, thank you.
32:17Rose, who was your least connection?
32:20I like him, but it's the spiritual part.
32:25What about the spiritual part?
32:26He's just not spiritual or religious.
32:28So that would be like the only-
32:31Tay.
32:32I don't want to send nobody home.
32:34Tay.
32:37That's what this process feels like.
32:39You got to make some hard decisions.
32:40Khalil.
32:42We talked originally when I first came out.
32:44And we got as far as his name, then we split up.
32:47I don't have a connection with him.
32:49I would say Khalil.
32:50As me and him didn't get a chance to bond like on an intimate level.
32:54It was more so like friends.
32:56On a surface level.
32:57Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
32:58All right, Khalil.
32:58Your turn.
32:59I think his name is Will.
33:01He's bald and he don't listen.
33:04He's bald and he don't listen.
33:06It's wild.
33:08He's bald.
33:08I'm like trying to have a conversation and he not conversating.
33:13I would say Will.
33:14I think he's a cool person.
33:16I think he would be a dope homie.
33:17Somebody to go out with, kick it.
33:18But we're not here for homies though.
33:20Exactly.
33:21All right.
33:22All I need.
33:23Y'all good?
33:24Yes.
33:24All right. Welcome to the journey.
33:26Okay.
33:27All right, ladies.
33:27We'll talk soon.
33:30I don't know, girl.
33:31This is tough.
33:32I think I need another little champagne or something.
33:34I need a shot, no?
33:36I never felt so much pressure in my life.
33:38Yeah.
33:47I love your gray, though.
33:49I love gray.
33:50And they like, oh yeah, Benjamin Franklin lived here.
33:53And I'm like, I don't care.
33:55Let's go get some mimosas.
33:57I did my time in history class.
34:00Hey, hey.
34:05Everybody good?
34:08All right, all right.
34:09Here we are.
34:11Oh, man.
34:12It's been a day.
34:13Yes.
34:15But it's that time.
34:17Yeah.
34:19Yeah.
34:20Two of y'all have to go.
34:24I'm like, Tommy, if you call my name,
34:27shitty, shitty, baby.
34:28Like, I'm not gonna lie.
34:29Me and Thomas was gonna fight.
34:31Like, stop playing with me.
34:33It's no way that I'm in the bottom again.
34:36Let's start by talking about the fellas.
34:39I don't even want to look at it.
34:41Khalil and Will.
34:45The badge on.
34:46The ladies have some concerns about each of you.
34:49Khalil.
34:52The women felt amongst all the men here today,
34:55the other guys just seem to be getting more of their attention.
34:58Gotcha.
34:59Me spending a bunch of time with Rocky at the beginning of the mixer
35:02and not really being proactive about spending time with the other ladies
35:07definitely came around to bite me.
35:09Well, the women felt they couldn't really put their finger on your intentions.
35:14Some of them thought you could be a great friend,
35:17but they weren't so sure about a romantic connection.
35:20Yeah.
35:21It was weird hearing it a second time.
35:23Like, oh, this sounds so familiar.
35:26So gentlemen, the lady just wasn't feeling a strong connection with one of you.
35:32Will.
35:34Women have decided that you are not ready to love.
35:40Khalil.
35:42You got another chance to shine.
35:44Take that deep breath.
35:48Will, I need to say something.
35:49Come on up here for a second.
35:50All right.
35:51I want to take a moment to say something real important that y'all don't know about.
35:56This journey started with two mixes and today was the second one.
36:01What you don't know is Will was also in the first mix.
36:07You understand?
36:10Just like today, the group from the first mixer determined he wasn't ready to love.
36:18But afterwards, I threw a curveball because that's what time to do.
36:22To be fair, I wanted to give Will another chance to meet the whole group.
36:27And despite the pain of being eliminated, he agreed to get up,
36:30dust himself off, and get back on the ready to love horse.
36:35Brave enough to put himself out here twice.
36:41Will, I applaud you for showing the kind of commitment it takes,
36:45you know, to overcome obstacles and focusing on your goal.
36:49Fortunately, ain't no third chances.
36:52I appreciate the opportunity.
36:54Yeah.
36:54Good luck, everyone.
36:56Wish you the best.
36:57Hope you're all ready to find love.
36:59I don't know what went wrong.
37:01I've been turned down by a lot of beautiful women in my life.
37:04So it's no surprise.
37:06I'm OK with it.
37:07I'm going to be happy tomorrow.
37:08I'm going to keep smiling.
37:16All right, let's move on to the ladies.
37:19Coley and Shanice, both of you left the men with some questions.
37:24Coley, the men thought it was tough having conversations with you.
37:29You seem to have some walls up.
37:32They just weren't sure if they could knock them down.
37:35I've never heard anyone tell me that it's tough to have a conversation with me
37:39if they felt like there was a wall and there was a door right there and the door was open.
37:43You could just walk through it.
37:44Shanice, the men thought that your conversations
37:49lean more to the professional side, but we're here for the personal.
37:54So, ladies, one of you, the men don't feel the connection.
38:01Coley, the guys just feel that you are not ready to love.
38:07Shanice, still got more time.
38:09OK.
38:09Show these guys who you really are.
38:11Coley, come on up here.
38:16Coley, I think you think how you go out for one person a second and not another.
38:24So what would you say if I offered you the same chance that I offered Will?
38:31I would say don't waste my time.
38:32You would say don't waste your time.
38:34That's right.
38:35I know that's right, Coley.
38:36That's Coley all the way.
38:38That's Coley Bear.
38:39Go ahead, baby.
38:40Why do you say that?
38:41Tell me why.
38:42If I'm eliminated and I'm on the chopping block, they're not feeling me.
38:45They're not feeling me.
38:48I don't want to be like the Will next time.
38:51If they don't want me here, maybe I should just go ahead and chop it up and go.
38:57Well, here's the deal.
38:59There's eight more singles that you haven't met.
39:03That's a lot, Coley.
39:06When you put it like that, I'm here to find love.
39:08And that's four more opportunities.
39:10I'm just excited.
39:12Now she's got to change her heart.
39:13Coley, look at that.
39:14Look at that.
39:16Re-think that thought, baby.
39:17There's eight more singles that you have not met yet.
39:20Yes.
39:23Let me rewind that.
39:24Let me change my mind.
39:25I like the firecracker, though.
39:26Yes.
39:27I do like that.
39:28All right.
39:29Go back over there, girl.
39:30I love that, Coley.
39:32Go ahead, Coley.
39:33As she should.
39:34Welcome to Philly, baby.
39:36Because one thing us Philly women do not do is bite our tongue.
39:40We're going to tell it like it is, okay?
39:43That was a bold move.
39:46The next step on this journey is a big one.
39:50I'm about to introduce everybody to the whole group.
39:55Y'all ready?
39:56Yes.
39:56Just tell me about to stir this thing up a little bit, you know what I'm saying?
39:59I don't believe that the guys from the first mixer wasn't interested in me.
40:04The second mixer, they just was a little bit more interested in me.
40:09The guys was a little bit more mature.
40:12Everybody good?
40:12Yes, sir.
40:13I get Philly on three.
40:14Philly on three.
40:15One, two, three.
40:16Philly.
40:20Next time on Ready to Love.
40:23Get ready to meet the 11th brother heaven.
40:26Let's go.
40:28I'm looking for my more chestnut, okay?
40:31The goal for this week is to focus on the qualities that you're looking for in a person.
40:36I have five kids, three big moms, and a partridge in a pear tree.
40:40Okay, well, it was nice talking to y'all.
40:43I told him, I said, you need to go over to the tall, beautiful Pocahontas.
40:47It was a good one.
40:48I like you, you know what I'm saying?
40:49Like, I want to be around you.
40:50Okay, so you relationshipy lover boy.
40:53I like lover boys.
40:56Welcome, ladies.
40:57The time has bought.
40:58I want you to take these gentlemen out on dates.
41:00One of them will be told that they are not ready to love.
