it's not--I don't do anything.
I don't go out, and if you were to go out,
I was raised where, like, you just end up
with someone from your neighborhood, you know?

that about Staten Island 'cause it's true.
It's--we all end up with the same people
no matter what--no matter who you talk to...

Like, if I met him in the club...

I've gotten to the point where, like,
I know exactly what my type is,

to introduce them to people.
Like, even my best friends
have never met the people that I've been with.

That's a red flag.
That'd be like Vinnie not introducing me
to his girlfriend.

you know, and that's your person, why not--
- They meet your friends. - Exactly, maybe she's--
- Why are you hiding your boyfriend?
- Maybe the boyfriend's hiding her.

- So ambitious, physical intimacy.
- You gotta be attracted to them.
- Yeah. - Manera's a great wing woman.
She asks the questions that make him have to talk about me
as well as why I should date him.
So, Manera, you nailed it. I love you.
- What is something about her that sets her apart
from the other girls in the house?
- I always probably just say something stupid,
and I look at her, and then she laughs,
and makes me feel comfortable about it, you know?
- Right. - And she's very down-to-earth.
- Yes, she is.
- I'm normal. - She's normal.
I feel very familiar and comfortable with her.
But at the same time, she's almost, like,
a little too normal for me.
I don't like just completely normal.
I'm not normal.
- This is the cool table.
- The cool table, bro. - Probably not.
- This should have been the first choice.
- There's one over there.
- AK is sitting here with Peyton,
and it's kind of weird because I don't know
how I should be talking about Peyton
in front of her friend because I like AK, too.
Just, like, an awkward situation.
- Do you think you would have a chance with her
if you weren't here?
If you met her at the club.
You're like, "Damn, she looks good."
- Yeah, 100%. - Okay, do you have a type?
- I don't really have a type. - Okay.
Why are you still single?
- Well, I was gonna say, like,
I'm like the ninth wheel of all my friends.
- Got it.
- Well, I feel like a fourth wheel,
so there's that.
- They're always like, "Why don't you have someone?"
I'm like, "I'm not just gonna bring anybody
to the dinner table to appease you guys."
And when I actually do,
you're gonna know it's gonna mean something.
- So you're really serious about meeting someone, and...
- Always. - Starting a foundation?
- Always. - Okay, okay.
- I think that this guy Jeremy is
really shocked and surprised that I'm dating Peyton.
Jeremy knows that I'm not Peyton's type,
and he is very skeptical of this whole thing,
and that's his opinion.
- Do you think the right person is here?
- I'm figuring that out.
- Do you think the right person \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\his here?
\h\h\h-Good question. I'm figuring that out.
\h\h-As everyone's hanging out with their friends and family,
\h\h\h\hyou know, talking, I'm still pretty upset at the fact
\h\h\hthat my mom's not here, and I can't do that with her.
\h\h\h\h\h\hl don't think it could get more awkward.
\h\h-Can I steal you? - Me, where am I going?
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hGood talk. - That's a good conversation.
- Yeah, exactly. I like the heat.
- We had a few conversations, and now it's time to check in
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hwith Vinny, see where his head's at.
- KP's dude is solid out there. \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h-Yeah.
\h\h\h-They've known each other for years.
- Yeah, Peyton's guy is cool.
- He was grilling us.
He's like, "Do you think \h\hshe stands a chance?"
\h\h\h\h\hl don't know how I feel about Peyton
after meeting Jeremy,
because I feel like he made her \h\h\h\h\h\hlook bad, low-key,
and I'm like, eh.
- Peyton was open about it.
\h\h\h\h\hShe's saying that he's not her type,
but she was willing to get to know him.
But just hearing Jeremy say it, \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hl don't know.
I can't forget it.
- It was weird with Akielia.
- I'm talking about-- \h\h-He kept--yeah.
He kept asking us questions about,
"So does Vinny like Peyton? \h\h\h\hl can't say that--
- I know, I know.
AK sitting with Peyton \h\h\h\hand her friend
\h\h\h\h\hwas kind of weird, so there definitely is, like,
\h\h\h\h\ha little bit of an uncomfortable vibe right now.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hDean, like, is a little intimidating, right?
- Where the joker at?
- It was just his birthday. \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h-Yeah.
- Maybe butter him up \h\h\h\ha little bit.
Give him a little cake, \h\h\h\hbirthday cake.
I think he'll love that. \h\h\h\hHe's a cool guy.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- I'll finish off \hwith Danielle.
We'll give them a cake. \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h-Yeah.
- The way to a woman's heart \h\his buttering up her dad.
- What's up, Little Vin?
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h-Little Vin. - What's up, Little Vinny?
- All right, so, Dean.
\h-Yeah, Vinny? - Hit me, hit me.
- Yeah, man.
\h\h-What do you have? Do you have questions?
\h\h\h\hl don't know what you have to say.
\h-I'm more concerned--I'm learning so much about you.
- That is important for me.
I mean, if you're going to be a part of my daughter's life,
you need to know about her.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h-Yeah. - We grew up from a small town.
So we was family-orientated, \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hyou know?
I'm just an old-school father,
\hbut my parents was on those old-school morals, you know?
And I respected that.
\h\h\hAnd I know that's where we lose a lot of our kids at.
She knows she's pretty. \h\h\hShe's beautiful.
And she don't have to do \hanything to stand out.
I kept her grounded.
\h\h\h\h\hWe used to say, "Don't get the big head."
- Have you introduced him \h\h\h\h\h\hto many guys?
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h-No, you've literally met my ex, RJ,
and that was in high school.
- What? - Yeah.
- They probably didn't want \h\h\h\h\hto be around me.
- Since then,
I have not introduced you \h\h\hto anybody, right?
- Nope, and plus, you know, \h\hthe height requirement
has always been 6'3", Vinny.
- Bro, I'm not even close.
- Vinny, what are we gonna do \h\h\h\h\h\habout that, man?
- Little Vinny. - Little Vinny.
- Try to stretch you out \h\h\h\h\h\ha little bit.
- I mean--
- Danielle told me it was cool. \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hOkay?
\h\hl don't know if Dean has a different set of height rules,
but if that's the case,
then I'm gonna fail miserably.
- Okay, I'll be right back. \h\h\h\h\h\h-Yeah, great.
- One second.
- Excuse me. \h\h-Mm-hmm.
In my eyes, yeah, he's a good guy.
