00:00Previously on Somebody's Son.
00:02I see your mom as your god.
00:03I would never say that my mom is my god.
00:05It kind of triggered me when you said,
00:07look, he trying to defend you, girl.
00:08The energy in the room right now is tense.
00:10So I wrote a letter.
00:11Oh, Lord.
00:12I feel like you're still coming from a place of judgment
00:14at times, and it is starting to negatively affect me.
00:19All of a sudden, I get a knock on my door.
00:21I was confused, but it was Tamaris.
00:24I'm seeing this side of Tamaris, and I'm liking it.
00:27Now, it's just leaving me wondering, am I going to make
00:30the right decision?
00:32I'm so sorry to wake you up.
00:34I cannot leave without telling you goodbye.
00:36I'm satisfied with choosing me and standing
00:40on what I believe in.
00:42You know, I'm definitely interested in taking
00:44this experience past this.
00:46So I just want to see if you want to date exclusively.
00:50I am going to have to say no right now.
00:57Today's the last day in this house.
01:14And now we're winding things down.
01:16And I mean, I got to make a decision.
01:18Oh, it is a lot to deal with.
01:24Having two women's emotions and dealing with them
01:28while trying to navigate my own emotions at the same time,
01:32and really just taking this whole experience serious
01:35has been a lot to bear with.
01:37And I just hope I made the right decision at the end.
01:40How did you sleep?
01:41Very good.
01:42Good morning, my wife.
01:43Good morning.
01:44Good morning.
01:45Good morning.
01:46Good morning.
01:47Good morning.
01:48Yeah.
01:49We was going back and forth yesterday night.
01:50I know.
01:51So tell me, what's going through your mind?
01:53Let's talk about the date.
01:54Let's talk about the date.
01:55OK.
01:56Good time.
01:57Good.
01:58You saw it when we came in.
01:59You saw it.
02:00Uh-huh.
02:01You saw it.
02:02You saw it.
02:03You saw it.
02:04You saw it.
02:05You saw it.
02:06You saw it.
02:07You saw it when we came in.
02:08You saw it.
02:09Uh-huh.
02:10You're enjoying it.
02:11Yeah.
02:12You're having fun.
02:13You're finally in love.
02:14You know what I mean?
02:16OK.
02:17I was feeling all right.
02:18Oh.
02:19What's up?
02:20OK.
02:21But like, me and Shamiel only kissed during a photo shoot.
02:24We ain't never really kissed on a date.
02:25But, I mean, Shamiel's a funny person.
02:27Yeah, she is.
02:28She's a cool person, good personality.
02:30So the first day, Tamera told me
02:33she just got to ride a bike.
02:34So I was like, you know, it'd be cool to see
02:36if I can teach her how to ride a bike.
02:38Jesus.
02:39So I taught her how to ride a bike,
02:40and she was riding.
02:41She did good.
02:42Hmm.
02:43Then we started talking afterwards in my football.
02:44How could she implement herself in my life?
02:47Would she be willing to sacrifice things?
02:49As an athlete, you might want to hear.
02:51But overall, I had a good day, too, with Tamera's.
02:54I know she can have fun.
02:55Ooh.
02:56She can.
02:57I know.
02:58I saw her last night.
02:59Ah!
03:02This boy, yo, it's fireball, yo!
03:05I was sleeping, and she knocked on the door, and she came.
03:09Hey, really?
03:13That was a shock to me.
03:14Tamera's is very reserved, and that's not what I was expecting from her.
03:19I hope I won't carry any baby hair from here.
03:22No, no, no.
03:23No, no, no, you're okay.
03:26You're okay.
03:27But that's beautiful.
03:28But that's beautiful.
03:29So think about the emotions.
03:30I go on this really good date with Shambriel.
03:32We got close.
03:33We had a great time.
03:34Great experience.
03:35But we still didn't test out to see if that chemistry, the physical attraction was there.
03:39Mm-hmm.
03:40Tamera makes a very bold move.
03:41That's good.
03:42And she comes from home.
03:43Mm-hmm.
03:44I saw it like, are you coming in this room because you just saw that me and Shambriel had a good time?
03:49Or because you found out I play football, you trying to give me that last little mm to kind of sway my mind?
03:56It felt not authentic.
03:58So it's a lot of positive, but those are the biggest question marks that I'm still trying to figure out.
04:02It's like, what do I do?
04:03I don't know.
04:04I love both of them so dearly.
04:06And that's how it's supposed to be, right?
04:08Mm-hmm.
04:09Okay.
04:10So let's see what the tablet says.
04:14Joshua, you have come a long way on this journey of self-discovery.
04:18I have.
04:19You've grown and you've broken down walls, allowed yourself to be vulnerable, and trusted the process.
04:25Now it's time to trust your heart.
04:27Ooh-wee.
04:29Okay.
04:30Today, your journey will come to an end.
04:33Oh, wow.
04:34Ultimately, you will leave this experiment single or in a committed relationship.
04:40Up to this point, the decisions have been in mom's hands.
04:43That means you must have.
04:45But this time, the decision will be in yours alone.
04:47Wow.
04:48Get out of your head and search your heart.
04:50Okay.
04:51You've been making decisions this far.
04:53This one is yours.
04:54It's a lot of pressure, and I'm used to making tough decisions all the time.
04:59But this is tough, man.
05:01This is really tough.
05:03When did I press and win?
05:05I don't know.
05:06I've been thinking about it every time I wake up.
05:10I've been drinking about it, pour me a red cup.
05:14Good morning, ma'am.
05:16Good morning, Song.
05:17How are you?
05:18Doing well.
05:19All right.
05:20So, yesterday, I know you went out on a date with Sabernet.
05:24Where'd you go?
05:25You would have loved it.
05:27We went to a butterfly habitat.
05:30Oh.
05:31It was, like, a really, like, dope.
05:34It's like you were kind of transported into, like, a rainforest almost.
05:37Oh.
05:38You just look up, and you just see a bunch of butterflies.
05:40Oh, wow.
05:41We had a moment.
05:42We kissed.
05:43Oh.
05:44Yeah.
05:45You know when you spend time with somebody, and you start talking to them, and it's just,
05:48like, okay, like, I see, you know, like, okay, I'm liking this.
05:51I'm digging that.
05:52You know what I'm saying?
05:53Sabernet and I have come a long way.
05:54Like, I feel like we've really made strides in the right direction.
05:58And I could see her vibing with my family, and, like, being somebody that I can go through
06:02life with and start a future with.
06:04All right, so I wanted to share a couple things with you.
06:09Okay.
06:10When you were on your date, I had a conversation with Alicia.
06:13I was kind of blindsided.
06:15I wanted to apologize to her about the comment that I made during the exercise that we did.
06:21She was prepared to talk to me as well, but what she actually did, she wrote a letter.
06:26And in the letter, she referenced whatever comments I made.
06:31So what comments?
06:33Um, regarding my entry walk, outfits, makeup, faith, my demeanor, job, piercings, and tattoos.
06:42You have tattoos?
06:43I do.
06:44I didn't notice that.
06:46No, so I did not make a comment about your tattoo.
06:49That was over my head, so I was blindsided on that, because then I felt like I was a villain, you know?
06:55Yeah.
06:56And I felt it was too deep.
06:59Okay, yeah.
07:00So, I mean, you guys made up on that front, right?
07:02You know, we talked about it.
07:04She accepted my apology.
07:05That's good.
07:06I don't have to step in or anything like that, so I'm really happy that you guys were able to have that conversation.
07:12When it comes to issues with my mom and women that I've dated, like, my mom can really go left.
07:17I've seen how detrimental it was in a past relationship, so hearing that my mom was able to resolve things with Alicia without me is a relief.
07:26Y'all weren't having as much fun.
07:28Yes, I think I can be at times too controlling, but I have my reasons, because whoever you date, I don't want them to be in-laws.
07:39I want them to be my bonus daughter.
07:43You know?
07:44So, from a mom's perspective, I just pray you making the right choice to mesh with us as a family unit.
07:51We shall see.
07:55We want to see what we have going on today.
07:58Good morning, James and Charlize.
08:01The end of the journey is approaching.
08:04James, today you will have one final date of this experience with Alicia.
08:10Remember to have fun.
08:13I'm excited to get into it with Alicia.
08:17I'm going to try to dig in a little bit more.
08:19I mean, because on paper, things line up with Sabernet.
08:21Right.
08:22But then at the same time, I want to see if, like, Alicia could be a potential partner as well.
08:27Okay.
08:28I just appreciate it whenever you have a one-on-one with her.
08:33Clarify, please.
08:34Clarify what?
08:35How I was perceived, because you, I thought when you said...
08:39I just want to leave it where it is, honestly.
08:41I'm tired of bringing it up.
08:42It's done.
08:43It's done.
08:44We put it to bed.
08:45That's what I don't like.
08:46You're trying to be dismissive.
08:47You're not respecting my feeling and something dealing with me personally.
08:52We just asked, are we good?
08:54See, there you go.
08:55Like, y'all's relationship is y'all's relationship.
08:57Like, me being the middleman in this, that's not going to be beneficial to the relationship that you guys are going to build.
09:03I'm tired of going through the same process of having to advocate for the woman that I'm dating, that my mom will get along with her.
09:13It's way too exhausting.
09:14Why can you bring it up?
09:16There you go.
09:17I'll ask her, okay?
09:18I'll ask her.
09:19Okay.
09:20What did we do?
09:21What?
09:22I never thought.
09:23Yeah.
09:24But she got her together, JoJo.
09:25I got her together?
09:27Oh.
09:28No.
09:29delegatoron.
09:30Oh.
09:31Hey.
09:32From the beginning, it's always been you.
09:34You make me forget theica.
09:35Girl, you looking good.
09:36Oh, my.
09:37Wow.
09:39We look good.
09:40This year right now is looking stunning.
09:42I think I'm really happy to get some one-on-one time.
09:48And this is the last one-on-one time I'm going to get with her
09:51before I make the decisions.
09:55This is so nice.
09:56Very nice.
09:59I don't want to feel like I have to defend my mom
10:02or I have to do basically damage control.
10:05I just want to spend time with her.
10:07Can I drink?
10:10Cheers.
10:12Cheers.
10:13It feels really good to be on this date right now with James.
10:16You're great.
10:18You're, like, really great.
10:19You're making me blush.
10:21Chemistry is everything when it comes to dating.
10:24You showing up and showing out.
10:26You've been smiling like crazy too.
10:28I know. I'm enjoying myself.
10:31If you don't have chemistry, then baby, what do you have?
10:35Glad we are here.
10:38Me too.
10:39What's up?
10:40What's up?
10:41What's up?
10:42Questions.
10:43Do you have some?
10:44I have some.
10:45Wow.
10:46Yeah.
10:47Okay, I'm ready.
10:48I heard that, like, you wrote a letter and things like that.
10:51Yeah, actually.
10:53But to be transparent with you, your mom was very defensive at the beginning.
10:57Like, I didn't even get through the second sentence before I got cut off.
11:01Okay.
11:02So I felt, like, a bit discouraged at the beginning.
11:04Almost questioning, should I be having this conversation right now?
11:06Is it worth it?
11:07It's worth it.
11:08But whenever I think about, like, you and our connection, then it was like, okay, like, just
11:12stay put.
11:13Stay the course.
11:14Like, it'll be good.
11:15I don't 100% forgive Ms. Charlize for the things that she said to me and the ways that she's
11:21offended me.
11:22But I feel like me and Ms. Charlize are mature women, and we can definitely move past this.
11:27I have experience with my mother.
11:30She can be defensive at times, but, like, it's, like, her exterior.
11:34Like I said, I have faced that type of situation before, and, like, learning from my past.
11:39I've done the middleman thing before, and it just doesn't work out.
11:44It's exhausting, too.
11:45It's so tiring, and I'm just like, I would want y'all to have y'all's own relationship.
11:48This is the start of ours, and also of yours and my mom's, right?
11:52I feel like your mom really sees Sabrene for you.
11:55But I feel like me and Sabrene are totally different girls, and I don't know exactly how
12:01you feel about that viewpoint.
12:02To put your mind at ease, like, I enjoy my time with you now, and, you know, like, I can
12:08only imagine what it would be like when we're outside of this setting, like, just how magical
12:13it could be.
12:14James is so present.
12:25He is very much in the moment.
12:28And when I look into James' eyes, it really tells me that he's serious.
12:35He means what he says.
12:36Mm-mm.
12:37And your girl is falling for a man whose mom happens to be completely overbearing.
12:43Ah!
12:44I feel like I'm going crazy.
12:46Can I get a kiss?
12:47You can.
12:49I've been waiting.
12:50Right?
12:51Okay, James.
13:05Whatever it is between me and Alicia, we have chemistry.
13:14It's there.
13:15And it's time to, like, really settle down, find a partner that I can, like, take on life
13:19with.
13:20And let's just see what happens.
13:21You want to head back to the house?
13:23Okay, bookie.
13:24Hey, bookie.
13:25I wrapped it up like candy, baby it's the fall, keep on running after me.
13:36I'ma let you be mine.
13:39I'ma let you be mine.
13:41I'ma let you be mine.
13:42Good morning.
13:43Good morning.
13:45How are you?
13:46I'm fine, how are you?
13:48Well, you want to see what the day holds?
13:50Sure.
13:51The last day?
13:52What about you?
13:53Jogged this one.
13:55James, you have come a long way on this journey.
13:58You've grown beyond your comfort zone,
14:00not only with these ladies,
14:02but you've also deepened your bond with your mother.
14:05I would say so.
14:07Yes.
14:08Now it's time to determine
14:10if either of these ladies are a match for you.
14:14Today, your journey will come to an end.
14:17Ultimately, you will leave this experiment single
14:20or in a committed relationship.
14:22Up to this point, the decisions have been in mom's hands.
14:25But this time, the decision will be yours alone.
14:30So let's see how it ends.
14:32Hmm. And it's my decision.
14:34Okay, so you've had your last two dates.
14:38So what do you like about these women?
14:40It was really great to see different sides
14:43of these ladies at this point in time.
14:45Like, with Alicia,
14:47now that I've, like, gotten to sit down with her
14:50and, like, I see where her mindset is
14:52and how she handles situations
14:54and the maturity to, like, go out
14:56and resolve things herself.
14:57Mm-hmm.
14:58And then with Sabrenet,
15:00it was more of, like, a comfortable conversation.
15:02Oh.
15:03So it allowed me to see, like, a different side of her,
15:05which was great.
15:06Really?
15:07Yeah.
15:08I think that her personality is great as well.
15:11Mm-hmm.
15:12Glad you've seen some positives.
15:13I've seen some positives as well.
15:15I feel like both of these dates
15:16help both of these ladies out.
15:18Let me just say this.
15:21I know we hit, um, an issue early with Alicia,
15:26but you made a decision to involve me in this process.
15:30So I would have preferred that you let Alicia know,
15:34first off,
15:35I know my mom's not trying to hurt you,
15:37you know, in this instance.
15:38Like, I didn't think I needed to protect you in that.
15:40You should always.
15:41I mean, I didn't think it was a situation
15:43where I had to protect you.
15:45That's what I'm saying.
15:47Like...
15:48Now you know.
15:49But you can clean up...
15:50We're still pulling back layers.
15:51I didn't...
15:52You can clean up after yourself as well, bro.
15:53Yeah, but we just didn't...
15:54It just didn't go that way.
15:55I mean, I did say, you know,
15:57I apologize if I offended you.
15:59I did say it.
16:00I mean, I understand, like,
16:01I apologize if I offended you,
16:03but, like, being intentional in an apology
16:05is also something, like...
16:06I was intentional.
16:07Okay.
16:08And leave it there.
16:09I've heard that sentiment before.
16:11You making it seem like you single just because me.
16:13But I mean...
16:14But.
16:15There's a but.
16:17I'm irritated right now
16:18because this type of conversation
16:20that has come up in the past,
16:21what I ultimately want is, like,
16:23for my mom to not be an obstacle in my dating life.
16:26I did intentionally apologize.
16:28I meant my apology.
16:30And you just keep going
16:31and you just keep going.
16:32And I'm like, come on.
16:33This is all about finding the person
16:35who I think I can live my life with.
16:37And you're making this about you.
16:39No.
16:40I'm not trying to make no false image.
16:42I'm...
16:43I am who I am.
16:44I understand that.
16:45You know, I'm not saying I'm trying to...
16:46Because that's not me.
16:48I have a huge decision to make today.
16:51Am I gonna bring somebody into my life
16:53or am I not gonna bring anybody into my life?
16:55That's where my head needs to be.
16:56That's my focus.
16:57And that's what I'm gonna be deliberating on
17:01for the rest of the day.
17:03Okay.
17:04And that's that.
17:05Like, I love my mom.
17:08But this is, like, probably the biggest thing
17:11that, like, I can't stand about her.
17:14It's a repetitive thing.
17:17It's always gone on.
17:19And I'm tired of it.
17:20Like, I'm really trying to find somebody I can settle down with
17:23and, like, build a life with.
17:25It's really sad to see that, like,
17:27my mom continues to display this type of behavior.
17:35I don't really know what else to say about it.
17:37I'm going through my auntie Elma.
17:54I'm making a final decision.
17:56And it's kind of scary to think about.
17:58It's been a fun journey.
18:01It's been a whirlwind of emotions.
18:03I know my baby.
18:05Liking it.
18:06Oh, my goodness!
18:07How often do you need physical intimacy?
18:10Yeah, that's what I want.
18:14You just call me now.
18:16I can do that for you.
18:17Hair itself is about $4.50.
18:20Full set and a pedicure is $200.
18:22She got a good job and career.
18:24She doesn't have to depend on you.
18:25I can see it.
18:26But them kids.
18:27I already packed my stuff.
18:29I'm just not sure you're my husband.
18:32Thank you!
18:37You look nice though today.
18:40Okay.
18:41Why are you nervous?
18:42I don't know.
18:43I just pray that God will lead you to the right person.
18:47For a lot of years, I've been in the NFL having fun and finding my own lane and, like, real superficial and not being able to get real deep connections.
18:57But through this experience, a lot of those old ways have been relinquished.
19:02It's been fun.
19:03I'm glad you've been here, you know, to guide me through it.
19:06But, you know, this time it's on me.
19:08Yep, it's on you today.
19:10From the beginning, I love the two ladies and I appreciate them.
19:14Just follow your heart.
19:16Whatever you decide, my son, I'll be okay with it.
19:21I hope it's gonna be a dream date for you.
19:23That's all I need to hear.
19:24Now I can make the best decision I need for myself.
19:27The tides keep pulling us closer.
19:32It's getting hard to keep my composure.
19:36So, um, going into the decision, I've been, you know, like, weighing things out, been playing back conversations.
19:45Hi, ladies.
19:46Hello.
19:47I'm James' mom.
19:48Does she need to bite it to feed you?
19:50What?
19:51Listen, I'm gonna let my man, man.
19:53Oh, you're a man.
19:54Yeah, you know.
19:55It's hot.
19:56It's hot.
19:57It's hot.
19:58The final invitation goes to Alicia.
20:03All you gotta do is say you wanna kiss.
20:05Here you go.
20:06I think I've come to a conclusion.
20:17I think I know what makes sense for me.
20:20You good?
20:21No, but I've been there.
20:22Okay.
20:23My son can be hard-headed when he has his mind made up.
20:33He's gonna do what he wants to do.
20:36And if that means he has to go and hit a brick wall, he's gonna hit the brick wall, even though I told him it was there.
20:42So be it.
20:43Not my life.
20:45I feel comfortable going into the decision.
20:48Ultimately, it's like what's real to me and what I believe is best.
20:55And, I mean, I know you want the best for me.
20:58And you have your opinions, though.
20:59I do have my opinions, and you don't always agree with them, and it is what it is.
21:03But, you know, you're gonna do what you're gonna do, whether we like it or not.
21:10I didn't really understand how heavy this whole process was going to be.
21:14This was stressful.
21:15Like, you can be upset, and you're entitled to your emotions, right?
21:20You have no idea what it's like to carry a child that doesn't want to listen.
21:25It is tough.
21:26Like, yeah, I do listen to you, and I do hear the things that you're saying.
21:30You may not always think I do, but I do, right?
21:33Yeah.
21:34You have a serious decision to make.
21:38Yeah.
21:39Go handle your business.
21:40All right.
21:41Come over my memory.
21:42Stumble into these empty streets.
21:43I need some company.
21:44Going into this final decision, it's a tough one.
22:01Both of these women have shown so much of themselves.
22:05It's really gonna boil down to do I think I can live a life with you or not.
22:12I really don't know what is gonna happen today.
22:20James and I have gotten to learn about each other.
22:22And I have also gotten to learn about his mother, Mrs. Charlize, which has been amazing.
22:27Hey.
22:28Hello, Mr. Handsome.
22:29How are you doing?
22:30I'm doing good.
22:31How are you?
22:32Good.
22:33Doing well.
22:34I'm just thinking about the great times that I've had while being here.
22:39I'm thinking about the challenges and the lessons that I've learned.
22:46Like, wow.
22:47Are we really at the end?
22:49Pretty.
22:51Can I hold your hands?
22:52Sure.
22:53I am so nervous right now.
22:54I'm trying to just breathe.
22:55However, you can't help with that.
22:56You can't help with that.
22:57You can't help with that.
22:58You can't help with that.
22:59You can't help with that.
23:00I'm just thinking about the great times that I've had while being here.
23:01I'm thinking about the challenges and the lessons that I've learned.
23:04Like, wow.
23:05Are we really at the end?
23:07Pretty.
23:09Can I hold your hands?
23:10Yeah.
23:11Sure.
23:12I am so nervous right now.
23:14I'm trying to just breathe.
23:17However, you can't help but be nervous in a situation like this.
23:21So, yeah.
23:22First off, I just want to say thank you so much for spending this time in the house.
23:28I know it's been an uncomfortable situation, right?
23:31I really appreciate you getting to learn about me over these past couple of weeks.
23:35And I am very interested in you.
23:37So, I kind of want to know, like, what you think.
23:40I really want to know who James will choose.
23:47So, this experience has been amazing.
23:51And it's really been great getting to know you.
23:55You've taught me a lot about myself.
23:57And you helped me learn what I don't like and what I need.
24:01Oh, yeah.
24:02This whole experience has been a lot.
24:06Mm-hmm.
24:07Through it, I really appreciate the way that you handle problems, right?
24:10You face them head on.
24:11Mm-hmm.
24:12It's been a wild ride, right?
24:16Uh...
24:17Uh...
24:18Uh...
24:19Uh...
24:20And, uh...
24:21Um...
24:22With that being said, unfortunately, I can't ask you to be exclusive with me.
24:37I just feel like our personalities don't necessarily mesh.
24:44That well.
24:47And, um...
24:49It's kind of difficult to see a future with you.
24:54I mean, like, yes, on paper, things look great.
24:58Yeah.
24:59Um...
25:00But I'm just thinking, like, down the line, I just don't think that it's gonna be successful.
25:05Okay.
25:06It's been really, really great to know you.
25:11All right.
25:12Cool.
25:13Bye.
25:14I feel like I'm the better match for James.
25:16I could definitely see James fitting into my family, and I am sad that I will not be the
25:32daughter in love for Mrs. Charlize.
25:34I will miss her.
25:37I loved living in the house with her.
25:39I loved waking up and giving her hugs.
25:41Give me a high five.
25:42On you.
25:43I am still looking for love.
25:47And you know what?
25:48I'm gonna let love find me.
25:50I feel like the time that we spent has been really comfortable.
25:57From the first day, Alicia caught my eye.
26:00I can really see the type of camaraderie and a relationship that I would look for.
26:08With that being said, would you like to be exclusive with me?
26:11Oh, this is so crazy.
26:28It's been a wild ride, right?
26:29Mm-hmm.
26:30With that being said, would you like to be exclusive with me?
26:49This experience has offered plenty of ups and downs.
26:54However, in this moment, I'm feeling very sure of my decision and the direction I'm gonna move towards.
27:01I'm really happy that we've had this time.
27:03And I think you're amazing.
27:06So, extremely flattered.
27:10My answer is gonna be no.
27:19I think right now, I'm still thinking about the conversation between me and Ms. Charlize.
27:29And ultimately, that does have an effect on my decision.
27:34James is shocked.
27:36Um.
27:37I think he was definitely expecting a guess.
27:41I came into this experience hoping to leave with somebody's son.
27:45But I think someone's mom who is that judgmental and that involved, it's a bit of a turnoff.
27:52Can I lie?
28:06At this moment, I'm super upset.
28:08For real.
28:09I thought that we were locked in.
28:12Things were smooth.
28:14The rockiness came in when it came down to my mom.
28:18I know that Alicia felt like she was misjudged.
28:22I know that she had to relive some traumatic times in her life based off of this house.
28:30And I respect her for everything that she's given and the position that she's taken.
28:36Fine.
28:37It really sucks that I missed my shot with Alicia.
28:41I feel like my mom is the reason that I'm single at 30.
28:54I know my mom and I know how she is.
28:57So, having this happen again with Alicia, it's way too exhausting.
29:02Tell me what's going on.
29:03I spoke to Sabernet.
29:04But, ultimately, I told her I did not want to be exclusive.
29:05And, um, I did ask Alicia.
29:06Okay.
29:07So...
29:08What did she say?
29:09She said, no.
29:10I mean, I respect her decision.
29:11You did what you thought you needed to do.
29:13Mm-hmm.
29:14And...
29:15I only want the best for you.
29:17I'm not mad at Alicia's decision.
29:18I'm actually happy about it.
29:20Because my son deserves someone who is balanced and equally yoked with him.
29:46yoked with him.
29:48All right.
29:48Well, hey.
29:50Very interesting.
29:52I thought that it was secure,
29:54but romantic rejection,
29:57just got to take that on the chin
29:58and keep going.
29:58Like, everything happens
29:59for a reason, so.
30:00Mm-hmm.
30:01Can't say I'm surprised.
30:04Okay.
30:06I was.
30:08I wish my son
30:10would listen to me.
30:12With that said,
30:13moving forward,
30:14I want for my son
30:15what any other mother
30:16would want for their son.
30:18To be happy,
30:19to love someone
30:20that loves you back,
30:21and build a life together.
30:24You good?
30:25Like, I ain't mad at her.
30:26It's all good.
30:27On to the next.
30:30Here we go again.
30:33I think my mom
30:34is a great mother.
30:36I definitely know
30:37that she wants the best
30:38for her family
30:39and especially her kids.
30:41But, I mean,
30:42when it comes to boundaries,
30:43you got to set them.
30:44And that's something
30:45that, like,
30:46I learned from this experience.
30:48We're going to establish
30:48these boundaries
30:49and she's going to have
30:50to stick to them
30:51and, you know,
30:52we're going to figure it out.
30:52I didn't think this experiment
31:03was going to be this difficult.
31:06I didn't think this experiment
31:19was going to be this difficult.
31:20I thought it was going to be a cakewalk.
31:23Man,
31:24I was far from right.
31:25It'll be the best day,
31:27yeah, oh, oh.
31:30During this whole process,
31:31I've been attracted to Tamaris
31:32from the start.
31:34The physical attraction is evident,
31:35but I don't know
31:38if we got deep enough mentally.
31:43With Chambriel,
31:44it's the opposite.
31:45In the beginning,
31:46the physical attraction
31:47with me and Chambriel,
31:48it felt forced.
31:49But slowly,
31:53it started to,
31:55you know,
31:56get better and better.
32:01But is it enough?
32:04Chambriel and I
32:04haven't even had a real kiss yet.
32:06How am I supposed
32:07to make a decision?
32:15I'm walking down this path
32:17and my heart is, like,
32:18about to jump out of my chest.
32:19Because this whole experience
32:21has been the unknown.
32:22So I don't know
32:22what I'm walking into
32:23and I'm very, very nervous.
32:26How you feeling?
32:27Overwhelmed.
32:29Like...
32:29Okay.
32:30Me too.
32:43Okay.
32:47As I'm walking
32:48over the bridge,
32:50I'm anxious,
32:51my hands in this moment
32:53are clammy.
32:54But when I see him there,
32:56um,
32:57despite all that anxiety,
32:59I was like,
32:59oh, Joshua!
33:00Like, I get excited.
33:02Hi.
33:03There she go.
33:05How are you?
33:06Joshua looks great.
33:07Joshua looks great.
33:11Um, I'm hoping in that moment
33:14that he will choose me.
33:20Well, I guess I just wanted
33:21to let you know
33:22that I am interested in you,
33:24like, a lot.
33:25Okay.
33:25But I do think
33:26that I'm a slow burn.
33:28And I think in this process,
33:30I kind of, like,
33:32didn't express myself enough,
33:34but I'm kind of hoping
33:35that we can still build something.
33:37Yeah.
33:40Well, I've been very,
33:41I think very honest
33:43from, like, day one.
33:45And I honestly...
33:45Wholeheartedly, yeah.
33:46Yeah.
33:46And I feel like as we talk,
33:48we keep finding, like,
33:49we have more in common
33:50than we think.
33:51Yeah.
33:51I came to this experience
33:53to find love,
33:54to find my partner.
33:55And right now,
33:57I cannot breathe.
33:58My mind is, like,
34:00like, I'm literally shaking.
34:01What are your biggest concerns,
34:03though, you know?
34:05I just wanted to,
34:06to, like, be real.
34:08You know what I'm saying?
34:09It's been hard
34:09in this short amount of time,
34:11you know?
34:11Yes.
34:11To really get to know somebody,
34:13really immerse your whole self
34:15into somebody else.
34:16So it's like, what now?
34:17I love the fact that
34:21both came into this journey
34:22with an open mind.
34:23Got to meet my mom.
34:25I got to meet your mom.
34:26I know.
34:26You know, had a good time.
34:28There was a lot of ups and downs
34:29and emotions
34:29in this whole journey,
34:31you know,
34:31in this short amount of time.
34:34You're an obvious choice.
34:35No questions about it.
34:38You're looking at my past,
34:39it's like, you're the one.
34:40It's easy.
34:45You know?
34:47But at the same time,
34:53my past has been something
34:56that I've been trying to change.
34:59I do want to be exclusive with you,
35:01but I don't think
35:02that's the right decision for me.
35:05What's going on?
35:06What is going on?
35:08You know, what is happening?
35:12I was just confused.
35:17I do want to be exclusive with you.
35:27At the same time,
35:28I don't think that's
35:29the right decision for me.
35:31Sorry about that.
35:32I mean,
35:33I didn't want you to hear that.
35:35I didn't want to tell you that,
35:35but I just feel like
35:36that's coming from my heart.
35:37Don't look at me like that.
35:42I don't know if you made
35:42the right choice.
35:46But I do think that it's your loss,
35:48respectfully.
35:50We could have built something
35:51really beautiful,
35:52and I want to,
35:54so I guess hit me when you're ready.
35:56I feel disappointed.
36:06For a moment,
36:07I thought it was just
36:08going to go the opposite way there.
36:10All right.
36:11Let's see.
36:12I feel like I'm not choosing
36:25Tamaris right now
36:26because I feel like
36:28trust is a big thing with me.
36:30Tamaris,
36:30you just didn't give me enough.
36:37You made me feel comfortable.
36:38Well, I just love the fact
36:40that we're alike
36:41in so many different ways.
36:42Obviously,
36:42I haven't been able to show
36:43myself wholeheartedly
36:45because I've been like
36:46mixing emotions
36:47with different people
36:47and it's a lot of energy spent.
36:49Right.
36:49But I mean,
36:50you align with my family
36:51and I align with yours,
36:53and I do want to take the chance
36:54to be exclusive with you.
36:57You're willing to do that.
36:59What?
37:01Why you seem so surprised?
37:04Well,
37:05I'm just like,
37:06you still haven't answered
37:11the question.
37:11Would I like to date you
37:12exclusively?
37:13Yeah.
37:15Yes.
37:17Good morning.
37:18You know what, y'all?
37:23I am exclusively dating someone.
37:26Oh.
37:27Oh, sweet.
37:29I am feeling everything.
37:31That was wild.
37:33My mouth was probably open.
37:35Right here.
37:38When I give her a kiss right now,
37:40like,
37:40I'm not worried about nothing.
37:41I'm excited.
37:43This is actually
37:44our first real kiss,
37:45I would say.
37:47And I literally forget
37:48where we are,
37:49which is perfect.
37:51I feel like it's just us.
37:52We finally got our moment
37:54to just do us.
37:58So why are you surprised?
37:59Because I don't know
38:01what's happening ever
38:02around here.
38:02I chose Chambriel
38:09because I feel like
38:11in this whole experience,
38:12I've gotten nothing
38:13but Chambriel from the beginning.
38:15I've gotten the authentic.
38:16I've gotten the friend.
38:17I've gotten the businesswoman.
38:19I've gotten it.
38:20In my life,
38:21can't coexist.
38:22Wait till my mama find out.
38:23Oh, she don't know yet?
38:24She don't know nothing.
38:26I got you nervous now.
38:27Relax.
38:28Yeah, because it's been
38:29on my mind the whole day.
38:30Because I mean,
38:30it's one thing for me
38:31to want it, but
38:31you have your concerns
38:33so you're your own person too.
38:34You know?
38:35This is crazy.
38:41Hey, love.
38:43Hey.
38:46How are you?
38:47Good.
38:49Well, you'll be able
38:50to do that tomorrow too.
38:53You'll be able to do that
38:54the next day too
38:55and the next day
38:56because she ain't going nowhere.
38:57I am so happy
39:05with Joshua's decision
39:06because if I've told him
39:08to go with Chambriel,
39:09probably he wouldn't
39:10have listened to me.
39:11But I told him,
39:12follow your heart
39:13and let God direct you.
39:14So that's to tell you
39:16God works.
39:17Congrats.
39:19I'm happy for you.
39:20Enjoy.
39:22I bless you all.
39:24I bless you all.
39:26I'm so happy.
39:27Your prayers work, huh?
39:30Okay.
39:31Cheerio on top, huh?
39:32Yep, cheerio on top.
39:33This one is just a Joshua song.
39:36He made his choice.
39:37Thank you, Lord.
39:43This is something
39:43that I never, ever
39:45in a million years
39:46thought I'd be doing.
39:48Ever.
39:49You and me both.
39:51This experience
39:52has been such a wild ride.
39:53I've learned so much
39:55about who I am
39:55and what I look for
39:56and a potential partner.
39:58It's really allowed me
39:59to work on the relationship
40:01that I have
40:01with my mother as well.
40:03My mom has a lot of things,
40:05but I'm definitely
40:07thankful for her.
40:09That'll be.
40:12Hi, ladies.
40:13Overall,
40:14this experience
40:15has been a great experience.
40:17I wouldn't trade it
