[Tommy] Previously on Ready to Love...
Welcome to the Ready to Love Philadelphia Reunion.
I'm your host, Tommy Miles...
Angie, who's been communicating the most?
Who put in the most effort in?
Calil. He shot his shot.
-And scored. [laughs] -He scored?
Fritz, kept in contact with anybody that's been on the journey.
-Shani. -Wow!
That's my woman.
-Oh. -Nah.
[Tommy exclaims]
I asked Cam, was he talking to anybody else?
And he told me no.
But the fact that you told me you weren't
and I found out otherwise,
you playing in my face?
[Angie whispers] Thank God.
So the question to you, Cam, is, are you expecting or are you not?
-[gasps] -[Shanice] Oh!
What?
This is a lot, man.
Expecting what?
I think she means a child.
Oh, bitch, I need another drink.
Who's Alexa?
-Alexa is my-- -And we ain't talking
about the automated system that you talk to.
The woman that called you that night when I came
to help you pack your stuff, so you could move into your new place
and you told me you was not gonna answer that call.
Who is Alexa?
That's my ex.
-Oh. -Who is she to you right now In this moment?
She's my friend. We're not together.
-You sure about that? -[Cameron] I'm positive.
Like, what are we talking-- Is she pregnant, is what we wanna know.
No, she's not. Ain't nobody pregnant.
-I'll guarantee you that, right now. -Okay. Ain't nobody pregnant.
I don't know where she even get there from or where she...
Was there a scare?
In our past.
So there was no pictures texted to you of a pregnancy test just currently.
No, it wasn't.
You can look at my phone--
[Rose] I've already been there, done that,
when you was drunk on my bed and you left your phone open.
-That's how I know what it is. -You did?
Yeah. Everybody looking back at this man,
like, oh, they feel so sorry for Cam.
No, I'm happy.
Even though Husieen and I did not make it,
I'm happy that I walked out
of this situation with Husieen as my number one.
I don't have any regrets, because this man,
he let me down the most.
-He really did. -In what way?
Because the whole time you tried to make it seem like I was wrong
for even still communicating with Husieen
and the whole time you was doing your stuff on the side.
That's because you were still dating me and Husieen
-at the same time. -I was not dating the two of you at the same time.
Was you not having sex with me and Husieen at the same time?
Absolutely the [bleep] not!
All right.
Can I ask a question?
Were you intimate with Husieen?
[Rose] We were dating Tommy.
-That would be a yes. -We do what grown people do when they're dating.
Yeah, like, Rose came here with a fully loaded clip.
[Rose] Cam is a damn narcissist
and he's very controlling.
-Oh. -'Cause you are.
-You are, Cam. -When did I start controlling--
You are a damn con artist and you think everything...
-A con artist? -...is supposed to go your way and it do not.
Wake up! It does not.
-All right. -[Cameron] You dated him a good two months.
-[Rose] Did we really? -Aye.
-Guys... -[Rose] The whole time...
-Guys... -[Rose]...why we didn't go out.
You kept telling me you was busy,
but you was texting the other girl
asking her to go out, telling her you were bored.
-Hang on. Hang on. -...you was over there with her.
Cam, I saw everything.
-Bro, that is my ex that I'm still cool with -[Tommy] Hold on.
Can we get everybody to calm down?
[Cameron] Come on, Rose!
-She's spilling everybody's tea. -Goddamn!
-She is spilling everybody's tea. -[bleep]
Things are getting a little tense,
so we're gonna shift gears.
We need to bring it back a minute.
Over the course of Rose's journey,
she planted seeds that grew some strong connections.
But just when things started to blossom with Husieen,
her past came to reap what she sowed.
Let's take a look.
Hi, everybody. Hi, I'm Rose.
Nice to meet you. You're nice looking.
My goal right now in life is to become someone's wife one day.
-What do you do? -I'm a fire fighter.
-And... -I love a man in uniform.
I'm into interior design,
-visual design and stuff like that. -That's wonderful.
-Ah... One thing I do like is interior decorating. -Yeah...
I just wanna massage your hand.
-That's all you wanna do? -Yeah. Let's go up a little bit.
[laughs]
I mean, I know eventually, at some point
you do want your own children, but...
if let's say that's not in the cards for you...
and the reason why I asked that question is...
I've had miscarriages.
-I'm sorry for that. -So...
It's okay. It wasn't meant.
So do you see yourself like adopting?
-I'm open to it. -Okay.
Because I know what it's like to be a kid
and I went through that.
-Like, I get it. I understand it. -Yeah.
Cool. I mean, we're gonna try.
-No, no. We're gonna try. -We're gonna try.
My brother had came up about the ex in prison.
-Oh, okay. My son's father. -Yeah, and that wasn't something...
The main thing was that it came out during family.
It was kind of, like, looking like a sucker to him.
Like, "Bro, you ain't tell me about that."
The reason why it came out at that point is because,
that question has never been raised before.
Had you asked...
-I couldn't have asked... -...I would have been like an open book.
I just try not to relive those moments,
because he's just a constant reminder
of a hurtful period in my life.
I just wanna gain clarity. Your child's father...
I don't have anything to hide.
But we're all putting [bleep] out there. It makes us feel slighted.
I cannot apologize for that.
Okay.
I mean, I just think it's funny how,
you know, sitting here, talking to me
about withholding information when you do the same thing.
In regards to...
On this getaway, you knew I was sharing a room with Husieen.
So why did I find out after the fact
that you and Sahara shared a room?
It's like the pot calling the kettle black.
But it's not, though.
It really is.
So, um, unfortunately...
I don't think that you're Ready to Love.
You guys really don't see Rose for Rose.
I'm hurt right now.
But I'm gonna bounce back.
Your girl always does.
That was hard.
[Tommy sighs] All right, Rose.
You had multiple connections.
What is it about Husieen that made you pursue that connection
over the connection you had with Cam?
We connected on a... A deeper level.
Every time we were able to...
communicate and come together, it was something else
that we were, like, unlocking about each other.
And I'm a very, very loyal person.
If I see that you're being loyal to me,
I'm gonna be loyal to you.
And that's why I stayed loyal,
even though I had feelings and connections with Cam.
Cam and Husieen, you guys both had connections with Rose
and you both eliminated Rose.
-Yes. -Yeah.
So why did you get so close to the end and decide not to choose Rose?
For me, like I said, it was really just... You know, just that one thing.
It was ultimately a deal breaker for me
and a part where I wanted to own it.
And I will say, I wish that I would have been the last date
instead of it had been Cam telling her to go home.
If I could have reversed that, I would have had loved for it to had went that way.
You wish you would have been the one to take her on that date,
-to let her know she was eliminated. -Yeah.
-[Kiara] He really felt bad. -Yeah. He felt bad.
-Husieen sent her home. -Why didn't Cam feel bad?
He didn't want her to go home.
Trying to just keep it real. Her baby father in jail.
Cam?
Rose always know that I was into her
from the first day.
We got our problems,
Rose, obviously.
You know, we shared a great, great connection.
Me sending her home on that date was
one of the hardest things I had to do, honestly.
Hmm...
What'd you say?
I do... I do believe him. When he said he really was feeling me
and into me until I, you know,
was able to see a different side.
I wish, honestly, it didn't go that way.
But it happened the way it happened.
Rose, let me ask you this,
how do you feel about this experience, this journey that you on?
[sighs] I came into this journey,
literally... I really had high hopes and dreams.
With Cam and with Husieen,
I never expected to walk out of this experience alone.
And I honestly feel like that I've been robbed,
I feel like I've been gypped.
And I feel like...
my happy ending has been stolen from me.
My heart was broken, 'cause I really came into this...
totally naive [chuckles] unlike some other people.
That's enough for me to, like, wanna give up
on love in totality.
But I'm not gonna give up. I'm here.
I'm living to fight another day.
-I want to thank you for being on this journey. -[Rose] Thank you.
-I want to thank you for being open and being vulnerable. -Yeah.
And I do not want you to give up on finding love.
-Mmm-hmm. -[Tommy] It's out there.
All right. Emotions are running high right now,
so we're gonna take a break.
More of the Reunion after this.
The Husieen-Rose-Cam love triangle,
may be the juiciest peach of them all.
I just feel like it just went really fast,
really left, really quick.
But it was good.
And, um...
if this was Maury Povich, I don't know who the father would be.
Welcome back to the Ready to Love Philly Reunion Special.
Eddie turned a lot of heads
when he stepped on to the Ready to Lovescene,
but his nonchalant approach to courting the ladies
left some of them wondering if he was really Ready to Love
or just playing the field.
Mmm...
Let's check out his journey.
[Jay] You should call Rick Fox. Chill out.
-[woman] All right. -[laughter]
Eddie is fine. Eddie is tall.
And I feel like he gets a lot of female attention.
Damn! We cooking.
[Eddie] Thank you. Thank you.
I love how you was, you know, being that partner with on the grill.
-Yeah, I think that, uh... -[chuckles]
...spoke a lot. I think it made things a little bit more... More deeper.
Eddie... Oh, my God.
[squeals]
That's my...
I want you to know, like, when I first met you, like...
I liked you, I felt something that I didn't feel with other people.
And if you would have said,
"[beep] let's get out of here."
I would have said, "[bleep] let's get out of here."
-[Eddie speaking] -Are you scared?
-Oh, my God. -[laughter]
Oh, no!
-Oh, no! -No! No!
[Coley] Bull [bleep]
[laughter]
I feel like it wasn't a proper place for.
Angie and Deona... they probably would've been mad
for, like, you know, me and Coley.
It was just physical attraction for the most part.
I need somebody that's, like, real, like... Like a cleaner.
Are you talking about cooking, cleaning,
washing, like, barefoot and pregnant?
Not that I'd put the task on you,
but I feel like that's a woman.
So... That's not there, I don't really wanna do it.
You get on my nerves.
[laughs]
So that flirtatious nature of yours...
-I'm damned if I do, I'm damned if I don't. -[Rose] Not really.
We see the potential in you.
But...
we don't feel, at this moment,
that you're Ready to Love.
Whoo!
Eddie, you good?
-[Eddie] I'm good. -Let's talk about it, man.
Ladies, you think he was here for the right reasons?
I adore him. He's great.
-Thank you, Coley. -I think once
we checked in and I was just, like, "What you doing?"
He was, like, "All right, I'm gonna be more intentional."
-And he was. -[Tommy] Did he change?
-[Angie] He did. -[Tommy] Okay.
He even made me cry.
He made you cry, Angie. But you... But you sent him home, though.
The tears wasn't enough.
We needed more. [laughs]
Eddie, do you think you came into the process
really determined to find love, man?
Definitely came in determined to find love.
Uh... According to the other things
that come along with it, I can't get through.
-[Tommy] Rose. -Yes?
What was it about Eddie that made you feel like he was just playing the field?
Um...
It has been said that Eddie
is in a full blown relationship
and has been during the show.
[chuckles]
See? I told you she was on fire today.
You're in a relationship, Ed?
I'm not.
[Tommy] Was you in a relationship during the process?
I wasn't.
Okay.
A couple of people that was probably, uh...
on the same frequency as you were.
-A couple of people were on that frequency. -They were.
[Tommy] Well, let me get on this frequency.
-Coley. -Yeah?
At the block party, you tried to give Eddie a kiss.
I like him and I thought he would like it, and he didn't.
So I'm sorry that you didn't like it.
But you'll never have to worry about it again.
Personally, I feel like I can respect that response.
Did you just wink at him?
Yeah.
-I wasn't looking at her, though. -[Tommy] She winked.
I adore him and I feel bad.
If he feels like some type of way about me trying to kiss him.
I adore him. She's great. Coley don't care what Ed do.
Ed can do no wrong to Coley.
I ain't tripping over that.
-Absolutely... -[Coley] You were.
'Cause you said...
-I wasn't. I said-- -..."Oh, my God.
Deona and Angie are gonna be upset."
Like, that's why you cared.
Coley, are you still interested in him?
-Tommy! No! -[Tommy] I just said, are you still...
I'm not a second chance kind of person.
Ah, okay.
One and done. She's doing it one and done.
I think he's a great person and, like, someone is going to, like,
be so lucky and have a great relationship with him.
It's just not me.
[chuckles] Okay.
All right, time for a break.
More from the Reunion when we return.
Welcome back to the Ready to Love Philadelphia Reunion Special.
All right, y'all, let's turn the page
and focus on our first couple that made it
to the very last day of this journey.
Kiara and Jay.
Met at the first mixer and it was love at first.
My man, my man, my man, my man.
[chuckles]
Let's take a look back at their journey.
Hi, everyone. I'm Kiara.
My name's Jay. Nice meeting you.
Yeah. Of course.
Ki-ki. She definitely caught my eye.
You know, I like her energy. And then she curvaceous.
I just had to see what was going on real quick.
I had to scope the scenery out.
-Okay. So what you do for work? -I focus on my career...
I do cyber security, so...
-I like it when they work. Okay. -Yeah, I love the work.
[Kiara] Me and Jay hit it off.
Everything that he said
is everything that I am looking for.
That's gonna be my man, my man, my man. Like...
he might be the one.
[woman] Is your hamstring sore?
-Oh, you keep doing that I might owe you back. -[bleeps]
Have mercy. I feel better already.
-[bleep] -They showed it, like... [laughs]
I'm livid. Jay, you're lucky I can't whoop your ass.
I set clear boundaries,
and obviously it went in one ear and out the other.
First of all, I don't understand how legs have intertwined.
And then I look over and you're massaging her neck?
Like, what is... Like, I'm confused where you [bleep]
It was one tonic.
[Kiara] I said don't do nothing that makes me look stupid
-and you still did it. -It doesn't make you--
[Kiara] Yes, it does! Oh, my God.
My intent was never to embarrass you.
My intent was never to make you feel like
it was somebody else over you.
I was wrong and I feel like I was wrong
and I gotta take that on the chin.
Since day one when I saw you, baby,
I don't wanna sound too cheesy but it felt
like love at first sight a little bit.
-Okay. -[Jay] You know...
What attracted me to you, how beautiful you was,
but more importantly, internally,
how much you understand me.
After this, I hope we go to the moon and back.
I choose you.
It was always you.
My man, my man, my man.
I'm so happy that I got to do this journey with you.
So, of course, I choose you.
-Aww! -Whoo!
I am definitely happy to be leaving this process
with my man, my man, my man.
Look at how happy she is.
[laughter]
-[applause] -All right.
-I like that. -Yeah.
-Yeah, I like that. -Beautiful journey.
-That was beautiful. -Thanks.
But let's go back to this.
You guys had the biggest fight on the getaway.
When Jay got touchy-feely with Sahara.
-I wasn't there. -[chuckles]
[chuckles] "I wasn't there."
Why did that bother you so much, Kiara?
I think it frustrated me, because me and Jay
had two private conversations before they getaway,
making it clear,
"Do not cross the boundary."
And I felt like he kept saying,
"It's you. It's you. It's you."
And in that moment, it didn't look like it's...
Kiara. Kiara. Kiara.
Let's be clear, it was always Kiara.
That little moment was just a moment.
But if you knew it was Kiara for Jay,
didn't you think legs wrapped around would do something to them?
Jay was on my list as my top.
So I didn't understand the problem.
-[Tommy] Honestly. -She said that he never told her
that we had a connection.
So you didn't know they had a connection?
I knew that she liked him.
I didn't know
that he had any type of feelings for her.
You never expressed that?
We had a connection but it was never the connection I had with Kiara.
But you didn't know there was one period.
Exactly. That's the point.
-The connection was non-existent to me. -Right.
He should have kept it honest.
Everything was Jay's fault.
-I mean... -[laughter]
Do you feel like it was disrespectful?
She knew from the beginning, I said I was a flirt.
And I like to flirt. It's who I am.
But I understood that, who I am, if I'm trying to connect with somebody,
I gotta be more aware that, that's not cool to her.
That's disrespectful to her. And I made a mistake.
So, yeah, I understood exactly where she came from.
Kiara, you've been locked in on Jay from day one.
-Mmm-hmm. -Today...
-Mmm-hmm. -...is he, my man, my man, my man.
No. He's not my man, my man, my man.
-Ooh... -[scoffs]
What happened?
I was expecting to be courted
and I don't feel like I was courted at all.
He told me, like, "Oh, you know, give me a week.
I just need to decompress, you know?
Then we're gonna go out on a date."
And I'm, like, "Okay, cool." Like, fine.
The week came and gone.
And then he spinned it and said, "Oh, I said, give me a month."
A month? That's crazy.
Jay, how do you feel about what you're hearing, man?
We can be realistic about it. You know, a week is really not enough time to...
When you deal with somebody 16 hours a day for a month,
and I was with her all the time. So I was...
You know, I wanted reality.
After the journey you wanted a break.
I feel like, the perception was,
because we did go on dates everyday and she liked to be courted,
she thought that we was gonna go out everyday.
So when you find a partner, when you find somebody
that you're head over heels about
-and they're head over heels about you... -[Jay] Mmm-hmm?
...I mean, how much time is normally spent?
Well... Put it like this, I got more fulfillment
out of laying up with her and talking about life
and talking about her dreams and aspirations.
Her fulfillment were, in my opinion,
was going out to eat.
And that's the difference between us.
Why did she fall for that?
[Tommy] I'm comfortable at home.
I love being at home,
but I know I got a wife.
-Mmm-hmm. -And I gotta take her out sometimes.
So I gotta make sure I spend that time with her.
I understand that 100%.
I was just saying I was burnt out.
-Yes. Yes. -[Jay] We did a month and a half
in the process of going out.
I'm like, "Can we wait a month? Can we give it a month?"
A month? It's crazy. You said a week.
-A week... -I understand...
So what am I supposed to do in a month?
Just doing everything that you want?
That's what I'm saying. We're doing what you wanna do.
It shouldn't be a whole entire month,
we're doing absolutely nothing
but what Jay wants to do.
-But it's not what I want-- -That's not fair. You wanted to chill in the house.
That's the first thing...
I can't listen to this.
This bull [bleep] I cannot.
Is there any chance of you two getting together and making this work?
-No. -[Tommy] Why not?
I think that he's a good guy for someone else.
I don't think that he's a good guy for me
and it might be a thing where I require too much
that he is not in a space to give
or that he's just not used to giving
or he just doesn't want to.
And that's okay for whatever girl he decides to date.
That's just not okay for me,
and it's just that I moved on, so it's... It's cool.
Moved on to what.
Like, I got a man. So...
-Oh, your man, your man, your man? -[cheering]
Oh, your man, your man, your man.
You got another, my man, my man, my man?
I don't have a my man, my man, my man.
I just have, my man.
Oh, just one man.
[laughs]
-So you're exclusively dating somebody else right now? -Yes.
-[Tommy] Okay. -That's great.
-[Tommy] Okay. -[Naeem] Awesome.
[Tommy] Congratulations.
-Thank you. -[Tommy] All right.
When we return, we'll chat with Deona
and find out if she regrets putting hose before bros.
Uh-uh. That's H-O-S-E.
All right, y'all get your mind out the gutter.
Keep it locked. Ready to Love Reunionright after this.
[man] Cut!
Okay, everybody, take five.
-How you feel? -How I feel?
-A punch in your gut. -What?
What's that?
Bro, do you know how many bitches I got on my own?
Stop playing with me, bro. Stop playing with me, bro.
-Stop playing with me. -[bleep]
I don't have any regrets about nothing.
-Nothing, because I feel like... -Right.
-I gravitated towards who gravitated towards me. -[Shanice] Right.
Everything went how it was supposed to go.
There's no bad blood
because I don't really give a [bleep] at all.
Welcome back to the Ready To Love Philadelphia Reunion Special.
Now Deona came in hotter
than a five-alarm fire
and left a few guys carrying a torch.
However, she wasn't quite ready to put work on the back burner.
Let's check it out.
[Deona] I know men is gonna like me because I'm sexy,
and who doesn't love this chocolate skin, like...
[laughs]
What do you do?
-Um, I'm a firefighter. -Damn.
-For real? -Mm-hmm.
-Damn! -What!
-What's your name? -Deona.
Deona, I'm Eddie.
Eddie. Good to meet you, Eddie.
-Eddie is definitely my ideal type. -Yeah.
Tall, handsome, clean nails. Oh, my God, that is...
-Mwah. -You've got to have clean nails.
-I'm not the type to text every day. -Mm-hmm.
'Cause when I'm at work, I'm in a whole different zone.
To me, it sounds like work is your relationship then.
I feel like you should be able to tap into both almost.
It's not like I work in an office
and I'm like on a computer.
Like, "Hey, babe, how you doing? How's work?" Like, no.
But it shouldn't matter if you're putting out fires
or if you're answering telephones, it's still a job.
I don't think the magnitude of the job changes
because you're putting out fires over here
or you're just answering the phone
because that's your profession.
-Okay. -[Tommy] Mmm.
-Before I come to you... -Ooh!
-Husieen? -Yes, sir.
Ain't nobody put the fire out
-and answer the phone at the same time. -At the same...
That she got to be focused at work. She got to be.
-You mean as far as our, like, communication. -Yes.
A pilot can't talk to you while he's flying the damn plane.
It wasn't about our communication with the job.
It came up about, I guess,
firefighter being more important than another job.
It was the importance of a job, not the communication.
-We weren't talking about communication. -[Tommy] Okay.
[chuckles]
You got to understand people run to us.
Like we have people knocking on my station,
-saying there's a fire down the street. -[Husieen] Mm-hmm.
So I have to be in the mind frame
that I need to snap in that instant.
So if I'm on the phone with you,
communicating with you, everything's going good.
But what if it's a bad day?
And I'm on the phone with you. Now I'm in a wreck.
I can't even think about what I'm doing.
I can't be in an emotional state.
I gotta be on point.
There's nothing wrong with that.
Once again, I wasn't speaking about the communication.
It was the importance of the job.
I think our conversation got lost in transmission,
-and you took it a way that it wasn't. -[Deona] It's still lost.
-It's still lost. It's okay. -[Husieen] It's just that.
So what's going on with you now? Any love life right now?
[Deona] I have a lot of good potentials.
-Potential, okay. -Yes.
Most of my potentials, work is a priority,
and I understand that.
So, when we do link up and when we do text,
it maybe on Monday
and might not text till Wednesday or Thursday.
-Damn! -I don't know, I just have patience.
-Like, don't rush it. -Exactly.
Because at the end of the day,
if you're really for each other,
that's going to be your life anyway.
You shouldn't have to compromise yourself to be suitable for a partner.
I like that. So for me, personally, I like that.
You hear what I'm saying? I like that.
That you're not taking that that serious.
-Shoot your shot, Eddie. Go ahead. -In your profession...
-Honestly... -Shoot your shot, baby!
[all laughing]
I'm like... Aah!
I mean, we like... We like that... [bleep] that.
I'm cracking up at Eddie sittin' there
looking like a lumberjack.
That's what they're saying, like a plumber.
More like a... [bleep]
-Like a... [bleep] -[woman] Like a lumberjack.
-Oh, he like a lumberjack. -She said a plumber.
What are we doing?
[Eddie] No, I'm explaining myself, man.
Deona, she's a beautiful woman.
I'm gonna give it to her raw.
-Um... -Mm-hmm.
-I mean, I'mma tell it to her raw. -Mmm.
You said you were gonna give it to her raw. I'm just...
-I'm just telling you what you said. -I'm sorry.
-That's how you put your foot in your mouth. -Yeah.
I'm hearing a lot...
-Not the same thing. -[Tommy] But I ain't seeing no action.
This is the perfect time right now for you to ask her out.
Yeah, so, Deona, I'm looking forward
to possibly taking you out on a date,
so, you know, we can get to know each other
-a little bit more. -Yes.
If you don't mind doing me the honor to accepting this date,
I could take you out and show you nice things.
I'll accept it,
-and I'll hold you to it. Yes. -This Sunday we can go ahead.
I'm checking back up on this.
Next Thursday. I'm gonna check back up.
Next Thursday. Goin' on a date. Damn.
You better pick up the phone on Thursday when I call.
I'm calling Thursday.
-I'm gonna be like, "Who's calling me?" -[Tommy] Eddie...
See where you at. All right, we need to keep it moving.
Shanice came into this experience
wearing her heart on her sleeve,
but when it came to spending time with her connections,
clothing was optional.
I need to, um, let you know
that prayer you sent me...
Right here. No, I'm serious.
It was really right here.
You made me feel safe enough to do that.
You led the way in that.
You're welcome.
You guys are body painting today.
-Oh, my God. Cisco. -[Francisco] I need a canvas.
You have a nice canvas.
Oh!
I see.
Oh, that bitch got the vagina out.
Kinda. [chuckles]
-What are you drawing? -[contestants chuckling and exclaiming]
-Is it your name? -[Francisco] Mm-hmm.
-"Cisco." -Hey.
-Okay. -I'm just marking my territory.
Oh, okay, we're good.
-Okay, we're gonna start there? -Yeah.
-Ooh! -[woman] What is happening?
-Oh, my... -[Shanice laughs] Oh, my gosh!
-I don't remember that. -[Shanice] I don't either.
That's AI.
That's not me.
I ain't gonna lie. I should have been there.
[all laughing]
There's a few potentials that have caught my eye,
and she's definitely one.
It's no secret that, uh, you know,
I kind of locked in with Tae.
She can say, "Oh, who's Tae?"
But I can say, "Who's Fritz?" Right?
That was her number one.
You are not ready to love.
It's okay.
I'm okay.
-Phew! -Aww.
All right. Girl...
-[Shanice] Oh, my goodness. -Listen.
-Pretty bold to go... -[laughs boisterously]
...full frontal on national television.
-Where does that confidence come from? -[Shanice] Um...
Learning to, like, love myself and rediscover myself
-because I've been abused physically, sexually... -[Tommy] Hmm.
[Shanice] Mentally.
And I wasn't always in a place where I felt proud of who I am.
Reality is, why do we need clothes?
A lot of times I felt like I used clothes
to, like, mask how I really feel.
-Cover it up. -[Shanice] Just to cover it up.
And it's like today I just feel free.
I love myself enough to just love on me
-and be free about it. -I see it.
And I think Cisco was the best person for that experience.
He just was being so open and vulnerable.
It made me more comfortable too.
I think you are a strong Black sister.
-Oh, thank you. Thank you so much. -I really do.
For all the things that you've gone through
and everything that you've sustained,
-you're still standing. -Yes.
-[Tommy] And you're stronger than you were before. -Yes.
-Tae? -Mm-hmm.
When you see your main connection, Cisco...
-Mm-hmm. -[Tommy] With Shanice
and the whole painting, how did that make you feel?
I can't find the words right now to say anything. Um...
You know, it's just hard to see someone
that, you know, you're saying that you're number one,
and they're writing their name on someone else's boob,
you know, saying that's their property.
But, you know, each his own.
And I'm happy they had a great date.
[Tommy] What's going through your mind, Cisco?
You almost put your head behind that whole couch.
[all laughing]
We went into this experience knowing we was going to go on dates.
She seems upset, right?
But I'm not understanding it.
It's like, we all went on dates.
I didn't have an X-rated date.
Um, I just had, like, a regular date, like...
-Had a PG date. -[Tae] Yeah, I had a PG date.
So he's saying, like, we all went on dates,
like it was the same kind of, like, level as his date.
So, no, actually, I didn't go on that kind of date.
Fritz, you had a strong connection with Shanice.
What do you feel when you see videotape of the painting?
To Shani's benefit, she was completely transparent about it.
She told me everything that transpired.
So I was able to watch it,
knowing this is exactly what I was going to see.
[Tommy] Why do you think it didn't work out with you and Cisco?
Um, I felt like Cisco's connection with Tae was strong,
and like I just said, I respect their connection.
And as time went on,
I felt like I was having a closer connection to Fritz.
So I was just trying to make sure that I'm giving attention
to where I feel like it makes sense for me
and what I want and where I'm going in my life.
The ladies doubted that Fritz was genuine.
-[Shanice] Mm-hmm. -What did you see different?
I saw how he treats people when nobody's looking.
He wasn't doing or saying anything
that made me feel as though he wasn't a man of integrity and character.
So I just really blocked out everything else
and just went with my own instincts.
[Tommy] Okay. Time for a break.
When we return, we're gonna be sitting down with our final couples
to cross the Ready To Love finish line.
We will find out where things are presently
and what the future holds. Don't move.
Welcome back to the Ready To Love Philadelphia Reunion Specials.
Tae was on a mission to find someone
tall, dark and handsome. Enter Cisco.
But as their connections got deeper,
Tae worried if Cisco could shift his focus
from building his body to building a future.
Let's check out their journey to love.
♪ By the grace of God I got the glacial flow ♪
[Tae] I'm so nervous.
I'm looking for somebody fine. Okay.
You know, muscles and tall.
I didn't see you. Hi. Hello.
Just sexy. Just a whole snack.
[Francisco] Have you ever dated a Hispanic man?
[Tae] Mm-mm. But, I mean, like,
you could talk to me in Spanish all night. Okay.
[both giggle]
Who are we feeling so far?
Can I just give you the list?
We're gonna go one by one.
Okay, Tae, Tae, Tae.
-Tae, Tae, Tae. -Tae, Tae, Tae.
-How you doin'? -Good.
How are you doing? Nice to see you as well.
I'm always eating. [laughs]
[Tae] At the block party, there is tension between me and Francisco.
Francisco expressed to me that he didn't own a car.
I'm in a room right now.
If you're not where you need to be financially,
then how can we talk about marriage?
I can't do this right now.
I'm always gonna focus on my goals and dreams.
But if I'm with someone that sparks a fire even more,
then I'm like, [bleep] "I definitely got to step my game up."
You know what I mean?
It's like you're everything I want in a person.
Like, you are.
[Francisco] Come on.
Before I have kids, I want to be married.
I definitely want marriage.
And I'm so happy that you said it, right.
♪ Unless we both die ♪
♪ Oh, oh, oh... ♪
[Francisco] You are a caring woman,
huge heart, very selfless.
And it's just all those characteristics that I love about you.
Of course I choose you.
You've always been my choice.
I'm just happy that God brought us together.
And despite whatever hurdles
that we may have ahead...
I choose you as well.
[laughing]
-[contestant] Aww. -Tae, come here.
♪ I know it took me some time ♪
It's like a proposal.
♪ To get to the place that you wanted me to be ♪
Aah! I got my man!
[laughs boisterously] My man!
-[Francisco] It's crazy. -[Tae] It is.
-[Francisco] Hell of a journey, huh? -[Tae] Yeah.
♪ I'm ready ♪
♪ To love ♪
♪ Mmm... ♪
[giggling]
Wow, wow, wow. That was beautiful.
-It was. -[Tommy] Tae,
you managed to have a happy ending.
I did.
[Tommy] Are you still happy right now?
Two of you?
Like, as in together or, like, individually?
Uh, as in together.
-Um... -There's a pause here. What's that?
I mean, uh...
Like, as in together, we're not together.
Damn! That was romance.
So things have changed from what I just saw on that screen?
-[Tae] Yes. -How so?
Oh, [bleep]. This [bleep] about to go left.
I was kind of conflicted about like the stability issue,
and how the future would look.
Right now, I just want someone
that's a little more put together. I'm not saying that he's not.
He checks all the boxes other than that.
Because you definitely knew this going in.
[Tae] I did, and I said I would give it a try.
[Tommy] He held nothing back.
He didn't and I respect him for that.
And I said, "I will try." And I did.
Just, like, I guess, like, you know, like, just in the back of my head,
just doubts. I don't know.
Like, instead of letting go and letting God...
You know, I guess I'm just being impatient and it's me.
"I don't know if this will work."
And I probably sabotaged it.
It has nothing to do with him.
This is an amazing man right here.
So how does that [bleep] matter?
Why would she want to date somebody
that can't even meet her at that same level?
[Eddie] 'Cause it's not about the money.
You don't want to date somebody
and then feel like you have to...
You say he can check all the other boxes. That's powerful.
But if she wants kids, he can't afford kids.
I don't know. I know, like, with marriages,
like, a lot of things can end, like, because of money.
-Yeah. -And I'm not gonna sit here,
and we all can't sit here
and act like that's not a big factor 'cause it is.
And I started asking, "Well, what happened with your past jobs?"
And, you know, "How did you get here?"
And, you know, he would say, like,
you know, that he was doing the job,
and then he stopped the job
to go pursue, like, modeling.
And that's great for him,
but then I just thought about like,
"Is he going to continue to do that?
Is he gonna continue to, you know, quit jobs,
and then I'm the one working, holding it down,
like just, you know, so he can pursue his modeling?"
That's fine if he does that,
but that's not what I want right now.
Like I just thought I was ready, but I guess I wasn't.
Just 'cause [bleep] can't get a job,
-he can't have a relationship? -There is no love.
That's how you think too?
If you're constantly working on that,
you should not be looking for a relationship
because that should be your main focus.
[Eddie] I think a relationship helps out [bleep].
-No, no. -[Eddie] It do.
That should be your only main focus.
In getting yourself out of that gutter.
-It should help. -You should not be looking for a relationship
-at that point. -It can help.
-Cisco? -Yes, sir.
Where did the relationship change for you?
Is it the financial stability?
We had a conversation, right?
I expressed to her what happened with me and my ex.
She made a statement that kind of like rubbed me the wrong way.
She like, "It gives like you mooch off women."
How do I mooch off women?
If that's the case, I'd have been mooching off you, like off rip.
I pay my bills, I go to work, I work out.
-Mm-hmm. -When she came in the picture,
we were spending a lot of time.
I was still doing the same things.
Is there any way of repairing what has taken place?
I don't think there is.
I still want what I want.
And is it a problem for me to want what I want?
Girls stand on their [bleep].
[women] Yeah.
Cisco, any repairing from your perspective?
I can't.
She's been moved on.
It's been obvious to me
while we were dealing with each other, now with her answers.
I can't. You know what I'm saying?
-Okay. -[Francisco] I can't go through that hurt.
I was hopeful
when you guys first found each other,
uh, you hit it off.
I thought it was just headed to the moon.
I mean, we was. Like...
But if you're not gonna be in a relationship,
you know, hopefully you guys can maintain some type of friendship.
All right.
All right, people, we are down to our final break,
and when we return, we will see what's on the horizon
for all of our singles and couples.
We'll be back right after this.
Welcome back to the Ready to Love Philly Reunion Special.
Now, before I do our final check in with everybody,
I want to give you a special sneak peek
at the next season of Ready To Love.
That's right. We're bringing Ready to Love
to Detroit City.
Yeah. What up, dope? Let's take a look.
Detroit, Detroit!
From this season ofReady To Love...
I want you to roll, bounce.
[woman laughs]
You cupped my ass.
[Tommy] And fall in love.
-[woman squeals] -[man] Aah! [laughing]
Y'all ready?
Ready. [cheering]
We're still sipping on some champagne?
-What's the celebration? -You.
[laughs]
I'm 36.
I'm in cougar town over here,
-but I think I like it. -[woman] Me too.
Cheers to that.
-[women laughing] -For real?
[Tommy] Now it's time to dig deeper.
This is your shot to shine.
[all cheering]
You just got all of it though.
Thank you. You got the total package too.
I wasn't into the second toe but I've seen yours.
They suck-able? [laughing]
-How tall are you? -I'm 6'2".
Let me see your hand.
Okay. I'm just curious
about your just anatomy.
[Tommy] These are those conversations.
The deeper we get, the deeper we get.
Some of the ladies just felt that
they were trying to get to know you,
but you were like, "Okay, let me get your real number fast.
I'll call you later. I gotta go to her."
This conversation better go good because I'm petty.
You and I don't know each other at all
because we have not spent time on the phone.
Okay, so, when you've got connections,
you can know somebody for two days,
and, "Baby, I want to lick your neck."
Man, everybody here then say it and it hurts [bleep], man.
Come on with that [bleep].
I heard what you said. You said a lot of slick-ass...
-I ain't say nothing. -You talk too damn much.
You need to shut the...up sometimes, bro.
Where the ladies kind of stood,
they felt like you weren't trying to make those connections.
You lead with sexuality.
Some people can handle it, and some men can't.
[man] I wish I had more time.
Will they compose the perfect ending to their love story?
I'm here for you.
[Tommy] It's time to find out which of these singles are truly...
ready to love.
All right. While that season looks exciting,
I want to stay in the present.
Let's talk about some of the new connections
that developed after the show
to see how
or if there might be a future.
-Shanice and Fritz, what's the deal? -Oh, okay.
-Wow. Just right here, huh? -Yeah.
-Well, it's been a journey. -[Tommy] Yeah.
It has. We talk all the time.
We text, um, FaceTime.
Do we see some potential dates in the future?
Absolutely.
-I mean, that's a good woman right there. -[Tommy] Okay.
Yeah, she's had my back from the jump,
even when it went south,
because I saw who, uh, who was my north.
-My north compass right here. -Oh, wow.
Your north.
[indistinct chatter]
-Ooh! -Let me write that one down.
I don't even know what a north compass is,
-but I love it. -[man] Damn, Fritz.
She was it.
How do you feel about the whole nudist thing?
-I'm the biggest freak here. -[Tommy] Yeah.
Hey, chill out.
-I just... -[all laughing]
Deona and Eddie,
you got a date on Thursday, right?
Yeah, next Thursday.
Go get something to eat and conversate, catch up.
-Yeah. -Sounded like.
Yeah. You know, you could be a ventriloquist
because your lips barely move.
-You know what I'm saying? -[Eddie laughs]
-My bad. That's how I talk. -[Tommy imitates Eddie] "Get something to eat."
-That's how I talk. -[Tommy imitates Eddie]
-[laughter] -All right. Calil and Angie.
-Yes. -What's going on down there?
What's up with you all? What the future hold?
Well, I agreed to take Angie on a date.
So I'm trying to be a little bit more open minded
from my advice from the ladies in my, uh, elimination date.
Being that I connect with, uh, older ladies a little bit.
Ooh!
Listen, I didn't look at you like that.
-[laughing] -Over my... [bleep] [laughing]
-Calil. -The date is off.
-No. -[all laughing]
-No, Angie is absolutely beautiful. -Aww.
-Thank you. -No, she is.
She is, inside and out.
Um, we had a real good date,
and, um, I just want to be more open to, um...
-To other possibilities. -Okay.
And if it go wrong, park your car around the corner, okay.
Because she'll bump it...
[laughs boisterously]
Angie, what do you think about the future, going out with Calil?
Um, I think it might be a great opportunity.
-Okay. -I'm open to it.
You're smiling, so...
-Do you see him? -[Tommy] There's a possibility.
[all laughing]
Does Calil make you smile?
Um, he has in his messages.
-Yeah. -[Tommy] Okay.
All right, y'all. That is a wrap for us.
I know this isn't always easy,
so I want to say thank you, all, for showing up tonight.
And being open while looking back on an amazing season.
Give yourselves a big round of applause. Do that.
You look good, you did good,
and I hope, more importantly, that you feel good.
All right. The journey to find love isn't always a straight path.
So I commend you all on getting back on course.
That's it. Thanks for watching.
Until next time, I am your man, Tommy Miles.
[exclaims] Good night.
-Much love. -Thank you, Tommy.
Much love.
All right, Tommy.
