  • I had to pick somebody.

  • (laughs)

  • - Hi, it's nice to meet you.

  • - Oh my God!

  • - Wow!

  • - You are so beautiful.

  • - I'm definitely sad that I got booted first, that sucks.

  • - This' the messed up part about this whole process.

  • - It's fine I understand.

  • I hope you can find someone at least half as good as me.

  • (audience laughing)

  • - The next one, I'm gonna pick, Tessa May,

  • I didn't get to know many people, so it was hard.

  • So it was just like, I had to pick somebody as well.

  • We fight about how to raise them.

  • anything. - Anything.

  • - And she stays on me about feeding right.

  • - When she asks me for advice,

  • and when I give her the advice,

  • she argues with me about the advice I just gave her.

  • - She keeps trying to convince me that

  • I want her to live far away from me,

  • and I find that a little bit annoying because

  • if she's meant to live far away from me that's fine,

  • but I'm not ever gonna really

  • jump up and down and celebrate.

  • - But we really don't argue to be honest with you,

  • there's nothing that I can really say.

  • - She's one of the fourth man.

  • Our argument actually stem off that.

  • We do, we argue about who's receiving,

  • who should be on the line,

  • who should be approaching?

  • - We are very, very close.

  • But I'm going to tell you this,

  • that pissed me off most recently.

  • (audience laughing)

  • Zariah, would tell me,

  • I have nothing to wear.

  • Are you serious, you have more clothes

  • than three closets can hold.

  • (audience laughing)

  • - My first choice will be,

  • I'm so sorry, Jessica Adams.

  • - Okay.

  • - Hello, - Hello,

  • - Oh my God!

  • - How are you doing Jessica,

  • - Good how are you?

  • - You're listening to all this craziness, huh?

  • - It was fun to listen to you for sure.

  • - Thank you for joining us

  • and having fun with us on and Sunday.

  • - Yeah, for sure thank you. - Thank you.

  • It was fun.

  • - So the second elimination I'm gonna have to go with Miata.

  • And the reason why, you told me she doesn't dance.

  • I'm a big dancer.

  • I love dancing.

  • I go like when this quarantine is over,

  • that's the first thing imma do.

  • - What y'all want?

  • I'm disappointed now.

  • (audience laughing)

  • - Do you listen into everything that's going on?

  • - Okay, so my parents put on on their headphones,

  • so I couldn't hear what you guys were saying,

  • but I'm kind of cringing at what,

  • (audience laughing)

  • - My third elimination is, Andrene.

  • The reason why is the end girl,

  • I ain't hear what you say.

  • - Oh, okay.

  • - Hi, everyone?

  • - Oh my God!

  • I'll take that back.

  • (audience laughing)

  • - Gadiel, you're up.

  • (audience laughing)

  • - That he did.

  • But it was fun.

  • - I've been thinking about California a lot lately.

  • So I'm a little disappointed.

  • But overall, this is really fun.

  • - He eliminated you?

  • That's so bad.

  • (audience laughing)

  • - What do you think?

  • - Round three.

  • Alright, so I have my family here.

  • My sister here, she's gonna probably make decisions

  • for the next round.

  • - Hi everybody.

  • - Hi, how are you?

  • - For this round.

  • we're gonna leave your daughters aside for a minute

  • and focus on you.

  • Seeing if they're from a good home,

  • seeing where they come from.

  • My first question is,

  • and it's gonna be for Sierra,

  • what do you think of her last boyfriend,

  • why didn't it work out with him?

  • - So her last boyfriend,

  • wasn't as family oriented that I liked.

  • - Mm.

  • - It has nothing to do with the reason why they broke up.

  • But to me, family is everything.

  • You love family, you have respect, that or nothing.

  • - That's true.

  • - I don't have anything bad to say about him.

  • I just don't think they were on the same level.

  • - Gabrielle has not had a serious boyfriend.

  • For her, I think long term serious relationship,

  • is about really getting to know a guy,

  • just the beginning

  • and the solid foundation for a real relationship.

  • And that's what she really wants.

  • She's looking for a man who's in it for the long haul

  • and that she can just give herself to,

  • and can love and will love her back.

  • So, all I can say.

  • - You see, you should write her Tinder profile.

  • (audience laughing)

  • As you guys know, I love music.

  • My friend thinks what to do when I go on the day

  • is the best.

  • So, I would love to see you guys' moods.

  • (laughs)

  • Oh fine

  • You can fuck me everyday

  • You can fuck me every night

  • You can fuck me everyday

  • You can fuck me every night

  • You can fuck me everyday

  • Get that phone

  • Get it on the floor

  • You leave all good boys wanting more

  • Get that phone

  • Get it on the floor

  • - Who's ready to party.

  • - I am.

  • - All right, so we are back. - With the decision time

  • - All right, the first elimination,

  • it is gonna be Albert.

  • Even though, you guys are great.

  • I love you guys.

  • Like, we had to choose somebody.

  • - That's Gabrielle. - Hello

  • - You're so pretty.

  • - It's been enjoyable to watch my parents try to sell me.

  • (audience laughing)

  • - Hopefully I see you guys around again.

  • - Good bye.

  • - The next one I'm gonna pick,

  • I am gonna pick Marcy, and I love you guys' personality.
