Previously on "Kings Court".

Buckle up, ladies.

Queens, our first King,

WWE Superstar,
Thaddeus Bullard!

Thaddeus!

NBA all-star
Carlos Boozer!

Male supermodel
Tyson Beckford!

[women cheer]

Let's just say,
the floodgates opened.

I've been married twice.
I've been divorced twice.

So, you're looking
to get married again?

Why would I close off
my heart chakra?

Yeah. It's Carlos
or nobody.

We are jumping out of a plane.

Oh, my God!

That bond,
for them to trust you.

Yeah, I've never
had a woman trust me like that.

I mean, look at this face, it's
mischievous.

You have to just peel back the
layers and get to know me.

Welcome to your first
elimination dinner.

Lexy, you will not
be going home tonight.

Don't be playing
with me like that.

Like, I'm not ready 'cause
I like you.

Aw.

Jenny...

Jasmine, you are not our Queen.

The night is not over yet.

Oh.

- What?
- Come on over, ladies.

There's always gon'
be a little twist.

Please don't tell me we
gotta do another elimination.

What?

[confident music]

- Woo!
- Uh-huh.

Well, well, well.

* I'm makin' big boss moves *

* I can't afford to lose *

Come on, my airborne crew.

- Come on.
- Ladies, welcome, welcome.

Anyone who has a seat,
have a seat.

I get to look at her.
I don't even wanna sit down.

Okay, let me sit down.

Okay, so remember, the goal
here is to find compatibility,

and ultimately, love.

And to find it, time together is
the most precious resource.

And behind us is an elegant
mansion

with plenty of space
to spend that quality time.

Hold on now, Rodney.

- Hold on, whatchu mean?
- Wait a second.

Y'all Queens might as well move
in tonight.

Hey!

[Rodney laughs]

Fellas, be a good host.
Don't leave the seat up.

No drawers on the floor.

Go ahead.

Thank you for a good dinner.

I finally get some female
companionship.

Stop fraternizing with them.
Come on, let's get to the house.

Let's get to the house.
My Brookell and my Lili,

they jumped out of the plane
with me.

No one in
the house will have the bond

that me and these two have.

I just want to figure out who is
the best one

that might be good for me.

- Thank you.
- Open, I'll get one.

[laughs] Thank you.

Come on in. Come on in.

- Yes.
- Aw.

I'm just ready to actually move
into the house

and get to know the guys.
I model

and I'm in the industry
so I get the lifestyle.

Come on now.
Get your big daddy.

[Brookell laughs]

[curious music]

Chill. We're the, we're the
skydiving champions.

- Yeah, we are.
- Of this class.

We are though.

Oh, um, no, it's never been me.

I've never been the problem. I,

I mean, I haven't,
I really haven't.

I'm just being honest.

If a guy comes back to you,
that lets you know

you haven't been the problem.
And they all come back.

Ready to go do another jump?

I feel like we do
need another jump.

Just me and you.

How are you doing?

Sit down. How are you?

I'm okay, are you okay?

Yeah, I'm good.

I'll give you um, me time.

I just wanna make sure
you're okay.

It's been a hell of a night.

The good thing is that people
can move forward

and focus on what they want to,
and go after who they want to,

and connect with
who they want to.

I'm still connecting with you.

When I look at Janaye,

heart emojis just pop out all
over the place.

She's gorgeous from
head to toe. Chemistry, check.

But I gotta go deeper to
see what else is there.

Honestly, like that one-on-one
time with you is...

I challenged
you a little bit.

Tell me more about
what you're looking for.

What questions you have for me?
What's your background?

What're you attracted to in me?

You like, passed with flying
colors, you were honest.

I'm happy that we're 'cause I'd
really like you,

like give me a chance.

[somber music plays]

I didn't get eliminated so
there is definitely, you know,

a chance.

I do want to have more of a
one-on-one with Carlos,

but if you're always with
Janaye,

you know, we can't really feel
each other out.

You know, what? My bad. I'm
being rude.

Do you want anything?

Even though I ate the rest
of it?

Okay, okay.

[upbeat music plays]

Good morning, good morning,
good morning!

It's a party.

What's goin' on, King?

Good, what's up, man?

How you doin'?

- How was the gym?
- Gym was excellent.

- Solid?
- Yeah.

How are you?
Get some rest?

- Yes, I did.
- Man, I missed you too.

Where your little
girlfriends at?

Hey, go get the pots
and pans.

Gimme a pot.
Oh, gimme a pot.

Oh, my God! No, you're not!

- You better not.
- Oh, my God.

Ain't no way, nobody here.
What time is it?

- Oh, my gosh you're gonna...
- It's 10:00.

[hammer banging on pan]

Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye!
Good morning! Good morning!

Come on! Good morning!
Good morning!

Good morning. Good, so good
to see you.

[lid clanging, pot clanging]

Hey!

We cannot do this every day.

Hey sis, good morning, baby.
Mm. Mm.

Dr. Shawonna, hey, you gave me
the best church hug

I've had since
I've been to church.

Hey, no, you gave me
the side arm.

No, no, no, no. Come here, let
me tell you what you gave me.

Gave me the side. God bless.

- I gave you what you gave me.
- That's what it was.

He came to me like this.

Okay, so the other night--

I'm like, you tell me I was
aggressive,

so I'm trying
to scale it back.

You like them a little feisty,
don't you?

Huh? I do like 'em feisty.

Like Dr. Shawonna bullied her
way

into a one-on-one.

Hey, don't call me a bully.

During the first mixer,

that's when he initially
said something

about being aggressive.

You seem to be real aggressive.

- Am I?
- I mean, yeah.

I'm not aggressive.

Dr. Shawonna ain't got no
problem

being aggressive.

He started saying
it consistently,

over and over again.

It's assertive, not
aggressive.

The stigma
that's attached

to African American women
being aggressive,

being the angry
Black woman in spaces,

it just wasn't cool, especially
being who he is.

What do you want from me,
sweetheart?

Tell me what you need.

Oh, there you go, baby.
How you doin'?

Come on.

Y'all had your first argument.

Yeah. Aw, hey.

Aw, you're so precious.

Is that better?

I have to speak up, not just for
myself

but for other women that
have been in this space

where they had to
dim their light.

What are we doing today?

We got a whole batch of girls
coming in.

- Okay, bye! Bye!
- Bye!

[all laugh]

[confident music]

* I don't need to level up,
baby, I'm already a boss *

* I'm already a boss *

* Don't need to level up, baby,
I'm already a boss *

Got it!

- What's up?
- What's happening?

What's goin' on?

Gimme some of that all-star,

that gold medal swag, Booz.

Come on, come on.

Boozer!

- Stil got it!
- You still got it.

Okay, guys, come on over.

I think we need more
of that love

and basketball vibe in here.

- I like that.
- Get ready.

'Cause those next seven ladies
are about to arrive.

My heart is racing.

[Rodney laughs]

[confident music]

Oh, wow!

My, oh my.

We did not know

that the game was gonna get
elevated like that.

Wow, made me smile even bigger.

Jesus take the wheel.

Gorgeous.

Coming up.

You girls are beautiful,
oh, man.

He literally is talking to
every single person but us.

Honestly, I was fuming.

Black women in general,

we are labeled aggressive
and angry all of the time.

Carlos has had infidelity
issues in his marriages.

Carlos, I've done my research,

and your background
is not pretty.

We got a pretty good starting
seven, don't we, fellas?

Great starting seven.

[playful music plays]

Tyson frickin' Beckford.

Okay, we workin'
with something right here.

Like, we really workin'
with something right now.

Our Kings are in search of
their Queens.

And today, you're gonna shoot
your shot

at possibly filling
that role.

Right here is an opportunity to
show off your skills

and your
personality,

by successfully passing the
ball through that goal,

dribbling between all of
our Kings,

and ending with a
final shot at the basket.

And after watching all of you
navigate the course,

each King will pick one Queen

who will join him
on a group date tomorrow.

- I like it.
- Sounds great.

Let's go.

Edelweiss, you're up first.

Edelweiss: I'm from Spain,

so we have a temper

that some people can get
a little intimidate sometimes.

[men cheer]

[sultry upbeat Latin
music plays]

- Oh, uh-oh, uh-oh!
- Okay, okay, okay.

I cannot hide my emotions.

- Whoa!
- Oh, shimmy!

Okay, Arielle!

Arielle! Yes, girl, yes!

There it is!

My ex-fiancé,

I found that he
wasn't honest or faithful.

So, the day before my wedding, I
called it off in Puerto Rico.

Oh, okay!

A little razzle-dazzle.
That's what we're looking for.

But I am still very much a
hopeless romantic.

Even though I was engaged three
times,

I still think there's another
one coming.

[laughs]

Okay. Aw.

Good job, good job.

Come on, Felisha!
Oh no, she got two!

Oh! Okay!

I've dated rappers,
I've dated athletes.

If I see something that I like,
baby, I'm going for it.

And it's just gonna
be that. And then, baby,

I looked and see Tyson
Beckford,

and that was it. He's
looking good. He real fine.

All right.

Let's go, Cat!

[women laugh]

Tyson, I've grown up um, you
know, seeing him on TV

and always thought he
was, obviously, very attractive.

[chuckles]

But I cannot shoot a shot
to save my life.

Oh! Oh.

Let's go, Sara.

It's okay.

Oh no, I'm nervous.

Don't be nervous.
Take your time.

[ball clunks]

This is not me, this
is not my brand,

this is not my vibe.
I'm not sure right now.

You guys think I'm gonna make
it, or not.

Girl, you goin' from there?

Oh, she's
at the three-point line.

Go big, right?

[tense music]

Oh, okay.

[flaps lips]

Go, Steph.

Uh-oh.

- Yeah, okay.
- Yes.

You know, I got a little bit of
handles on the basketball court.

[energetic music]

Oh yeah. Move it, move it.
Okay.

I grew up a tomboy. Basketball,
football, running around.

The confidence is
confiding right now.

Okay, she knows
what she's doing.

- Yeah, there you go.
- All right.

Move with fluidity.

That's a 10-4, buddy.
Good job.

Move with fluidity.

I... we can,
we can work with that.

You trying to tell
me something, all right.

All right, I got you.

All right, last but not least,
Brianna.

Bri, let's go, Bri.
Come on, girl.

I have a lot of confidence.

I'm fine with dating
a celebrity, a politician,

an astronaut. It's all
about how you carry yourself.

[ball thudding]

[music fizzles out]

Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh.

Oh!

Listen, hoop dreams
ain't for everybody.

Take it easy now. Oh!

[women laugh]

Yes, let's go.
Might be a bad ball.

Take a J girl, shoot it!

Shoot it!

[ball swishes]

[all cheer]

All right, Kings, time to make
your choice

and invite one of
these lovely ladies to join you

on a date tomorrow. Carlos,
let's start with you.

I would like to take Edelweiss
on a date

because she didn't give up. She
didn't quit. And I like that.

I'd like to ask Stephanie.

That's perfect.

I like the way she move.
Plain as day.

And last, but not least,
Thaddeus.

- I'd like to take Arielle.
- Yes.

And the reason is 'cause she
right here in the middle

just staring at me.

You keepin' it simple.

She is fit, she is fly.

Her hair is haring.

[angelic chime]

If her inside is anything

remotely close to her outside,

I think we might have a winner,
folks.

But ladies, you are actually
the second group

of Queens these
guys have met.

Oh, okay.

Interesting.

- Don't be mad now.
- Come on in, OGs.

Let's go!

[confident music plays]

The original goddesses.

It was giving a little
bit of ice

and we're like, "Oh, okay.

Great for you.
But we're here now."

They meaning business.

If these new girls want our
Kings,

they're gonna have to get
through us first.

Black flies.

Oh, they are the Black flies.

Coming up.

Can we talk about it
when we get home?

When we get home?
No, this is important.

They were like two pit bulls

ready to take a bite out
of my ass.

Hi, girls.

Oh, here they come,
here they come.

Oh, they upset.
They mad, men.

OGs!

You got your game face on.

Yeah, you do!

- Hi, ladies.
- Hey.

We've set up a mixer, right
upstairs.

Kings, each of you
needs to ask

two additional
Queens to join your group date.

You can pick anyone in the
group. New Queens, or the OGs.

What new Queens?

- Oh!
- Oh!

Not threatened.

You gonna be in trouble.

Yeah, I'm gonna.
I knew that already.

I am in a big pickle.

You ever walk into
those grocery stores

and they got that jar with the
big pickles in there?

You gonna see me in
the glass like this.

Tomorrow morning, the seven new
Queens

will be moving
into the Kings' Castle.

What in the world?

[women laughing]

We ain't got enough oatmeal
in the house.

All right, Kings, go have fun.

No, not you.

[women laugh]

[energetic music plays]

The new girls, you know,
they're cute. I mean...

we'll have to see what happens.

[laughs]

I'm ready for the games
to begin.

Okay, Thaddeus,
you can join us over here.

Oh, okay.

- We'll mingle.
- Okay, thank you.

So, how was your time today?

My time was great, you guys?

You don't have to act so
nervous. You can be natural.

I know, I'm just asking
her questions.

Oh, you not in trouble.

So, what did y'all do today?

I mean, we no... we uh... we...

They met us.

We met them.

And uh, they uh...

He asked me out on a date.

Oh, that's sweet.

I was the first date.

Oh.

I had two,
and she was one of the two.

He was waiting on me.

Maybe.

He'll probably just naturally
gravitate towards me

because I kinda just exude,
you know, confidence.

And I don't have to be like,
in your face looking desperate.

It's nice to meet you, though.
You're, you're beautiful.

- You too.
- Yes, I agree.

What you gonna get?

Water. Do you want one?

I do. I'mma come with you.
Guys, I'll be right back.

Tyson, want some?

Hmm. Mm, oh. Bless you.
Aquarius woman.

Yes, as in nurturing.

Mm, very nurturing.

Sweet, yeah.

Mm. Ooh-ee, let me tell you

who caught my eye instantly.

There was Steph. She gave me

a look like, "You're mine."

Mm, those soft lips, too.

Ooh, you want something?

There was Sara.
Mm-hmm. Oh. Oh, yes.

Oh yeah?

Oh, yes. Hold on, you're not
my date

but I'll get you some.

And then I started to get a
little greedy.

- I'm gonna have some fun.
- Feeding me grapes.

So, tell me about you.
Fill me in.

Uh, I'm from the Midwest.
I'm from Illinois, originally.

I played for the Bulls
for like, five years.

- Nice.
- Are you a Bulls fan, or no?

I respect anyone like,
that played for Chicago,

so that's amazing.

Okay, that's... thank you.

What are
you looking for in a king?

Someone with a great sense
of humor.

I love to laugh. I think
that's like, the best medicine.

Yeah, me too.

My last relationship, I was
married.

And during the pandemic,

he kind of told me
that he was interested

in being in more
of an open relationship.

Made me feel like I was the one,

and then I was one of many.

And I feel like I have been
guarded, for sure,

for the last
few years,

as I've been doing
a lot of healing work.

But I, I do feel my heart
opening

and I do feel like I'm
ready to receive love now.

It's good talking to you. Hope
to get to know you a lot more.

I got to mingle with a couple
more before this night's over.

But I'll stick with that.

So, but because I feel like
they're about

to ask all, like,

all three of their options
are new people.

Oh, this party is live!

You can't really let that
happen, though.

But it's like they want
to talk to them.

Yeah.

Okay, well let's talk
one-on-one for a minute.

Well, I think Janaye
got her spot.

[laughter]

This man is only drawn to one
person.

He can say I'm open, but
deep down,

we all know that you
found your Queen.

So, really, it's,
it's two men.

We don't have three.
It, it's definitely two.

Who decided
to do the all black thing?

Nothing. I, I usually wear all
black and they were just like,

"Should we do all black? Should
we do pink?

Should we do whatever?"

And I was like, "Yeah, let's
just do all black."

You're crushing all
black though.

Tyson was like, "How come y'all
ain't gonna tell us about y'all

coming over here?"

Did y'all know?

- What that...
- That you were coming?

Yeah.

So I'm gonna be upfront
with you.

For me, you're my frontrunner.

I would say, for you, get to
know Thaddeus

and get to know Tyson.

Because Carlos has made
his choice.

So, I wanted to ask...

Wanna go on another
date with me tomorrow?

- Absolutely.
- You would?

I feel like Carlos and I

have a strong connection

but how sure
can you be?

I've dated a guy
that's been on the scene.

Girls have hooked up with
him.

Girls are interested
in him.

From someone that has been
cheated on,

I can't say
that I'm not nervous.

Ah! Gimme a hug.

- Absolutely.
- I'm happy about that.

I want to spend more time
with you.

Hey, Thaddeus, can we chat?

Okay, come on.

[upbeat music]

We have some questions for you.

Right now?

Can we talk about it
when we get home?

When we get home?

No, this is important.

Come on, you know how
we gon' do.

I got a little bit of mixed
feelings about this.

Yeah, but we gonna go to the
hot tub

and we gonna talk about it.

If you build a connection with
or Liliana, do that.

Don't... you don't have to
talk to all these girls

if you don't want to. You
can say hi and be cordial,

and if it doesn't go anywhere,
it doesn't go anywhere.

All right, well I'm gonna
mingle a little bit.

Like, I'm, I'm working.

Make sure you come back home.

Yes, I'm working. Yes, okay?

This is my chance to figure out
who I like,

because I only have
so much time.

Lili and Brookell,

they were like
two pit bulls

ready to
take a bite out of my ass.

All that jealousy and acting all
crazy,

that's not gonna fly
for me.

Come with me for a second. Let
me talk to you.

Come over to my
little spot over here.

He literally is talking to
every single person but us.

Honestly, I was fuming.

What's your name?

- Sara.
- Sara. Where you from?

Yeah. I live in L.A.
I'm Persian.

- Oh, wow.
- Yeah.

Beautiful.

I do business development.

You live in L.A.? Okay.

That's Persian
princess palace right there.

Something like that.

I'm an actor, model, slash,
oh you know.

- Hi.
- Hi, how are you?

I wanted to come meet you.

I wanted to meet you too.
How are you doing?

- Hi. Arielle.
- Yeah, looking good.

I'm not gonna come and
interrupt his conversations

and like, try to make
my presence known, you know?

I'm single,
I'm not desperate.

I would like for you to go out
on a date with me.

- I would love to.
- Would you like to go out?

All right, so there we have it.
We are going out on a date.

Mm, that's it.

That's nice.

- You made the shot.
- I did.

So, I wanted to ask you,

would you like to go on
a date with me tomorrow?

- Sure.
- You would? Ah!

- Of course!
- Let's hug it out.

[Brianna laughs happily]

So, first off, I feel like when
y'all are dating,

if you're gonna isolate
yourself,

then you pretty much
have made your choice.

So, who isolated themselves?

Carlos isolates himself and we
all,

we all think that
and we all said that.

Well, you need to talk that
over with Carlos.

I ain't got nothing
to do with that.

I'm just saying, just in
general, I feel like everybody

should really like mix and
mingle,

and get to know each other.

So, you don't think
I've been mixing

and mingling with everybody?

No, I actually think you have.

All right, so again, you're
talking to me

and you're
addressing stuff about him.

Mm-hmm.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Come on down.

Yes, how are you all?

I'm doing great.

If you don't mind,
I'm gonna talk to her.

Because I think you need to
talk to Carlos

'cause you got
some issues with Carlos.

- Okay.
- All right.

Okay, okay.

- How's your food?
- My food's good.

Yeah, it's really good.

Now I let y'all talk for a
little while

and then I was like, okay.

[laughs]

Getting a little too
comfortable with Lexy.

Little too comfortable got
goin' down here.

Hmm.

Will you go on a date
with me tomorrow?

- Yeah!
- Yeah.

- Hi, guys.
- Hello.

You guys good?

- Can I talk to you?
- Me?

- Yeah.
- Yeah, come on. Of course.

Come on, where you
wanna talk at?

Yeah, uh, we could
talk anywhere.

It's actually something
that's on my chest

and I like, feel things.

What's up, Lex?

Now you're making me
overwhelmed.

But... but okay.

What is that? What is...

Yeah, I'm missing something.
I'm missing something.

Fill me in.

Coming up.

Carlos has had infidelity
issues in his marriages.

It was almost like Lexy wanted
me to overhear

what she was saying.

I'm gonna be as nice as I
possibly can

because I have a ugly mouth
when people piss me off.

Can I take my mic off now?
I'm done.

What's up, Lex?

Yeah, I'm missing something.
I'm missing something.

Fill me in.

I feel that you've kind of
like, isolated yourself.

- Mm-hmm.
- With one person.

Do you think you found your
Queen already

'cause that's what--

That's what it looks like.

So, of the first seven of you
guys that came,

my best connection was
with Janaye.

It just is.

But I, I feel like you know,

if I'm gonna get to know you
because I do wanna get

to know you, you have, you have
to make yourself more open.

All right, so tell me more.

We spent some,
some good time together.

You tell me what you
want me to know.

Hmm, what do you I want
you to know?

Huh, 'cause it's a big... it's a
big flower that just blooms.

I'm not really braggadocious
like that.

I don't really like...

I just let people
just figure it out.

But I mean, I'm really, I'm, I'm
kinda closed for the most part.

Like, I'm giving you a chance
right now and then you choked.

I don't know if you're playing
hard to get

but that's not gonna
work with me.

Let me mingle
a little bit more.

- Then I'll come back around.
- Okay.

All right.

Have you been asked
on a date yet?

No.

Oh, okay.

Have you talked to Carlos
and Tyson?

Um... no, I haven't.

Why not?

I'm trying to talk to you.

Okay. All right.

What you trying to talk
to me for?

Oh, wow.

No, I'm just trying...
I'm just trying to...

Is that a shocker for you,
or something?

- Yeah.
- Really?

Yeah. 'Cause...

[both laugh]

- You haven't...
- I vibe with you, okay?

I, I'm vibing with you.

Oh, okay, okay.

Yeah. I have a connection
with Tyson.

Whether or not I'm gonna
be able to deal with

seeing him being all
over girls, I'm not sure.

But I'm not gonna be a
little bitch and sit around

and just sulk on the fact
that he's

not gonna be only
interested in me.

I do need to admit the fact
that you did make

a very conscious effort,

so will you go
on a date with me tomorrow?

- Yes, of course.
- All right, cool.

All right.

[emotional music]

You girls are beautiful.

Aw, thank you.

- Well, you lookin' mighty fine.
- Oh, thank you.

[women laugh]

You look fine, too. I was
watching

your little ball skills.

You and I should go on a
date, too.

We should to figure out
where we...

'Cause what I wanna do for my
date is always athletic stuff.

So, would you like to go
on a date with me?

Okay, then, we got it goin' on.
Pinky promise.

Okay, okay.

Cat, Lexy, and I are the only
three girls

that did not get a date.

Tyson, you've known
me the longest.

Me, you, her,
we all goin' on a date.

I'm just totally confused.

Like, you're saying one thing
but then you do another.

That's just wild.
It's crazy.

You know, I like to keep my
women constantly thinking,

"What is he gonna do next?
This man is crazy."

Good morning guys,
good morning.

Good morning.

I would like
to have a conversation.

I would like to have a
conversation with you, too.

Perfect, perfect, perfect.
Look at that.

Good morning.

- Good morning.
- How are you?

- I'm good. How are you?
- You sleep good?

Yeah.

So, um... have something that I
wanted to talk to you about.

The um, aggressive comment.

I do not think at
all

that you've been trying to
be malicious with it.

However, I work in a field
that is not dominated

by people of color.

And Black women in
general,

we're labeled aggressive
and angry all of the time.

And that is a micro-aggression

that I'm up against
on a daily basis.

It's put me in a space where I
was like,

I probably need
to say something.

[blows out breath]

First off,
I want to sincerely apologize.

Thank you.

Um...

when I called you
aggressive, it triggered you.

Perception is reality.

And I just wanted to kinda
share that

with you
and how it made me feel.

You are a cool-ass chick.

Very smart.

And the last thing I
want to do

is perpetuate this
perception.

And I need to be man
enough to look a person

in the eye
that I have clearly hurt

and say to them, "Sorry."

And I apologize.

[tender music plays]

I really do appreciate
Dr. Shawonna.

It was definitely an
eye-opening moment for me.

This journey is not just
about me finding love,

it's also about me
becoming a better man.

She sees value in me and what I
say, and how I say things.

This is what I want
in a woman.

This is a growth moment for me.

From the bottom of my heart,
I sincerely apologize.

Thank you.

We got some new ladies coming
up in here now.

[Shawonna laughs]

[upbeat music]

[doorbell chimes]

We're here!

- Is somebody at the door?
- Yep.

Well, good morning!

We have arrived.

- Hi.
- Come on in.

How you doin'?

I see you.

We helped y'all
with y'all bags.

Yeah, us.

Good morning. Ooh,
are we looking good!

Hello! We're here.

[indistinct chatter]

Oh, my god, the heel.

[gasps]
The outfits. Oh, my God.

Mesh pants on.
It's not even 10:00 yet.

I mean, but it got her a date.

The OG Queens are in here.

There's a couple beds in here.

If y'all wanted to start fresh

because y'all been together,
I suggest you go over there.

I'm a energy reader, and the
energy just felt a little shady.

Come on in here.

It gave a little
insecure,

and I'm like, okay.
Like, all right, you know.

Honey, we're home! You know?

I don't know. I can't.

I can't.

[confident music plays]

All right, all right. So, don't
mind me, ladies.

I'll be your pool boy today.

Okay.

When that man came out with
these little Zaddy shorts,

and I appreciated every moment.

[giggles]

Every morning, I would jump in
my pool naked.

[Felisha laughs]

I mean, I've done a little bit
of research.

Um, you know, some of them don't
have a pretty past.

What information
did you find out?

You know, it is public
information that you know,

Carlos has... has had infidelity
issues in his marriages.

So, are you really looking for a
Queen or are you still on that?

[tense music]

How long I been in that?

[laughter]

It was almost like Lexy wanted
me to overhear

what she was
saying.

I don't know, I mean, if
it's true,

then that obviously
is a big red flag.

It took me over a year to fully
get over my last relationship

and I'm not about to put myself
in that same situation.

We all have a past in some
shape, form, or fashion.

And so, I don't think there's
anything wrong, of course,

with asking him about his past
if there's something

that you're
interested in knowing.

Like you said,
it's public information.

Carlos, I've done my research

and your background's
not pretty.

Cheating around.
Did I say that?

Did I say that?

Maybe I did.

That's not,
that's not king behavior.

[tense music builds]

- Have you jet skied before?
- Yes.

As you all know, I live in
beautiful Tampa, Florida.

So, I just wanna come out and
have some fun on the water

'cause if we get the opportunity
to take this journey

a little bit further, y'all will
be coming to Tampa.

- Oh, I love it.
- Awesome.

Or should I say, one of you
will be coming to Tampa.

Right, not that plural thing.

Yeah, my bad.

Take them tube socks off.

Let's get ready to have some
fun, fun, fun.

Very, very, very sexy.

[upbeat music plays]

[jet skis humming]

Ah!

Any of you guys
played pickleball?

Oh, no.

- No?
- I have, a long time ago.

I could be a little competitive
but my tactic here is just like,

be the vibe that I am.

And listen, who's competing with
this hair?

[laughs]

[energetic music plays]

[ball clacking]

I'm very goofy, I'm very
vibrant,

I'm very like ooh, ooh,
ooh, ooh!

And Janaye is totally the
opposite of me.

She's more like...

Yeah.

What that backhand looking like.
Nice.

Oh, no.

[Brianna and Edelweiss cheer]

I told you.

Can we pretend that
that didn't happen?

We're playing darts. So,

whoever gets closest to
the bullseye,

you get some one-on-one
time with me, okay?

The closest to the bullseye.
Okay, one shot.

Let's go.

[playful tense music]

Ooh! Felisha was like uh-uh,
get outta the way.

Let's see it.

Woo!

[dart clunks]

Okay, a little far away.

Ooh, ooh, ooh!

All right, Sara.

Uh, I guess you win it then.

- See?
- Yeah.

I don't play when good things
are on the line.

You tell me when you're
ready to get alone time.

I'm ready now.

Oh, geez, okay.

I'm just gonna squeeze on in.

All right, so you're gonna go
around this corner here.

Crab. I told you I was gonna
get some crab legs.

Yeah, that's
the bodybuilder meal.

[Arielle laughs]

I'm gonna do some one-on-one.

Mm-hmm.

Arielle, come on.

I love a athletic looking woman

and she looked like she could
bench press me

and two other people.

Careful now. Hold me up.

You got
more muscles than me.

- You know. Okay.
- Keep it strong.

She's definitely got the spirit
of a winner.

And did y'all see
that outfit?

Did you see the outfit?

That was so fun.

Okay, good.

And I'm getting to see your
personality some more.

Oh, well yeah.
I do what I can.

That adventurous side.

Yeah. So, you have a
five-year-old daughter.

Son.
I have a five-year-old son.

Five-year-old son.

- What's his name?
- His name is Parker.

- Parker?
- Yes.

Are you and Dad cool?

Um, Dad is not involved.

Yes. Dad just decided to,

you know, move along. Just raise
my son by myself.

My son has autism.

And I've been trying to get so
many resources

for him in his school,
and it is so hard.

They just weren't qualified to
deal with,

you know, special needs kids.

And I've had
to move him twice.

Because of the lack
of competence.

And the lack of resources
for him.

I do a lot with kids with
special needs.

And I operate
with a school called LiFT,

which is also in the Tampa
Bay area.

And all they deal
with is kids

with neurodivergent
disabilities.

Arielle is very impressive.

She is a single mother,

and she takes care of others
as a physical therapist.

It shows the type of strength on
every level,

and that's the type of queen
that I want to have in my life.

Are you big on family?

- Huge.
- Okay, cool.

Super big. This month I was
supposed to do my like,

egg freezing, because I
was literally, like,

I'm trying
to give myself some more years

to like, find my person.

But if it doesn't work
out that way,

I'm not going
to not have a child.

Why, I want to know why you not
married?

Somebody should have
snatched you up long ago.

I feel like, you know,

I had two really serious
relationships.

That was like, over a ten-year
span,

and then I just took a
break from like, relationships.

To focus on myself, my career,
and all those other things.

My last relationship
was super public.

It really is. And then, when we
broke up, it was super messy.

And then, I just took myself out
of the dating pool.

I was heartbroken.

Naomi Campbell once told me,
after I broke up with my ex,

you know, don't let social
climbers come into your world

because you have a such a
magnificent light,

they all want
to ride it for free.

So, that's kinda why, like you
know,

I've become such a recluse
and I haven't really dated

anyone seriously in the past
nine years, you know.

'Cause it
just, it... it hurt me so bad

that somebody would use me to
get to where they want to be.

Would you be public with a girl
again or you think this is...

I mean, this is very public,
but yeah.

Yeah, I think I'm at the point
now where I can do it again.

So, how are you feeling about
the OG girls right now?

Man, jealousy is a big thing
'cause I'm not a jealous person.

And if one of the Queens are to
pick me,

they have to understand that I
get flirted with every day.

You know, whether it's women,
or men or--

Are you, are you like, loyal?
Like, are you--

Yeah, I'm very loyal.
And I'm a homebody.

I don't need to be every
night in the club.

I'm that husband you be like,

"Honey, I need you to paint the
bathroom."

"All right, I'm on it."

So, I'm that husband. I got a
toolbox.

I'm itching to use it.

[both laugh]

Coming up.

I've heard a couple things.

Lexy had brought it to
my attention.

Come talk to me. You went
the opposite way,

which is extremely toxic.

Twelve ladies. We are in the
thick of it now.

I wanna hear about these dates.

Thad, you took out Liliana,
Arielle, and Shawonna.

Yeah, Arielle gonna probably
get another date.

Oh. Arielle's a doctor, you
know that, right?

Yeah. Here's the other thing,
too.

She's a mother to
an autistic son.

Oh gosh, I'm already...

You guys know, as parents of an
autistic son, her path.

I don't want no more kids.

I don't want to physically have
any more.

But if I have this
connection with this woman, her,

her child and her relationship
with the child,

that will make
that special to me.

Oh, my gosh.

It makes her more special
to me.

Can I just tell you, that just
makes...

that makes me so
emotional

because most women
that are single moms,

that are dealing with a
child with autism

never hear a man say
something like that.

Kids to me, are gifts.

All right, now Tyson. Steph,
Sara, and Felisha.

I couldn't have picked a better
three. I'm in heaven.

Each one of these guys chose
an OG.

- Yeah, they chose the OG.
- Yeah.

There was too much options for
me to choose an OG.

I'm going fresh batch
every time.

You wanna see.
You wanna get to know everyone.

You know, if a fresh dinner
is being cooked, you know.

Why eat what I had yesterday?

Why eat what I had yesterday?
Rodney, don't ever repeat that.

Talk to me about Brookell.

When I saw her say
"What new Queens?"

It was giving jealousy vibes.

The jealousy vibe was going on
all in the arena on me.

I was in the hot seat. It was
pew, pew, pew, pew. Bro!

[laughs]

I mean, in all fairness,

you went skydiving
with these ladies.

And then you told them you were
bonded for life.

Yeah. Did you tell them that
that bond

didn't consist of
another date the next day?

That was the question.

All right,
let's talk about Cat.

She seems like
she's a little aloof.

I just didn't connect
right there with that one.

Not showing that like, hey.

- Fighting for it, right?
- Yeah.

Let's talk about Miss Lexy.

My interaction with her,
it turned me off.

- Yeah.
- Oh.

'Cause she kept going on
about Carlos.

I'm gonna let you go
talk to Carlos.

And I'm gonna go talk
to somebody else.

But you gotta come
like you want it.

- She gotta get engaged.
- Yeah.

Well, guys, tomorrow night

will be your next elimination
dinner party

and you need to invite whoever
you have questions about.

There's a few. A few.

But at the end of the night,
some of them will be let go.

[tense music builds]

[easygoing music]

Hi, can you come over here?

Yeah. I'm gonna sit
by the fireplace.

Okay.

So, I have been thinking like,

you know, obviously,
I really like you.

You know, I definitely
have heard a couple things.

You know, just like some
infidelity type stuff.

Then I think that you and I
haven't really explored

or talked about kind
of our pasts.

And I'm just curious like,

what have you been through

when it comes to that?

So, for me um... I was married
by the time I was 20.

And it was great.

But I didn't really know
what I was stepping into

when I got to the NBA.

And I started
getting a lot of like,

attention from people that
were um, just different.

Then I slipped and I fell, and I
had infidelity, and I cheated.

Um, it really broke up
my marriage.

And I had to go get help.

You know, I went I saw
therapists for a long time.

I went on a men's retreat, also.

Got close with my walk with
the Lord. I'm a Christian.

And at some point
you got to make a decision

or you want to be a better man.

You know, especially
a father

who's raising young men

and raising a daughter, so.

Um, hard lessons to learn, to
say the least.

But, um, the man that sits
before you is a different man.

I love that.

You know, Lexy had brought it to
my attention.

She was googling you.

And I definitely was like,
a little concerned, you know.

For sure. Yeah, for sure.

She was kinda really
trying to make it seem

like you were
this not great person.

You can read about me all you
want on the internet.

But like Lexy, we actually could
have a bonding moment

on some level if you would
have came to speak to me

instead of trying to go around
and talk to the other girls,

and try to plant some kind
of seed that I'm some monster.

But that also talks about
maturity.

And that's why you're sitting
here. Like, you're very mature.

And you had questions and you're
asking me those questions,

and I appreciate that. Because
you view me as a human being.

- Yeah, of course.
- Yeah.

Yay.

[tender music plays]

Like, I genuinely feel very
calm and like, safe.

- Oh, good.
- Around you.

- That makes me really happy.
- Thank you. Me too.

I'm asking, he's answering.

Openly. Really taking
accountability for everything

that's happened in his life.
What guy does that? Uh, no one.

- Can I have a kiss?
- Yes, absolutely.

Oh, thank you.

You're a sweetheart.

So are you.

Hmm, we're late.

[laughs]

[determined music plays]

Oh, here they are! Here come
some Queens, Rodney.

Oh, yes.

It's a little disappointing
that I'm even here.

I went on a date
with Thaddeus and Tyson,

and Tyson has alluded to
the fact that

we had such a great bond
skydiving. So, I don't know.

Good evening, ladies.

I know this elimination dinner
party isn't exactly

where you want
to be tonight.

But the Kings are here
to find love.

And this is the only way
to get through that process.

This is your chance to open up
and show the Kings

they need more time with
you. It's all about confidence.

Okay, Carlos, I understand that
you are a King, okay.

But I'm a prize too, boo.

Period. If you're already ducked
off with somebody else,

I can't talk to you anyway.

I'm gonna be as nice as I
possibly can because

I have a ugly mouth when, when
people piss me off.

[confident music plays]

Ladies, ladies.

- Hello, hello.
- Look at you dapper Dans.

You guys look good.

- You look great.
- Nah, I'm all right.

Thank you.
You look good, too.

The first time around was very
difficult.

This time around, for
me at least,

seems crystal clear who gotta
go. But it's about to get real.

I like all you guys,
I really do.

Romantically,
I'm interested in you.

- You just got here.
- But I just got here, you know.

And I'm still feeling
everything out.

Wait, let's roll
back there. Hold on now,

what did you say?
Romantically you're interested?

I'm interested in you.

I'm flattered.
I, honestly I am.

Yeah, yeah. We just need a
little like, one-on-one time.

We need an actual date, you
know to really feel it out.

I need for you to take it.

What specifically
can I do for you?

You know, I want to be
nurtured.

I want to find
somebody I can nurture.

And you
know, I want to find somebody

- on the same level, you know.
- Yeah.

I don't know. Can you do that?

I mean, sounds like me, yeah.

Okay, Cat, Cat,
we gonna find out.

Yeah.

I'm gonna talk to all y'all

but I'm gonna talk
to Lexy first.

- Okay, yes.
- Now I'm talking to you.

Where would you like
to speak at?

You choose.

I'm always confident in myself,
let's just be clear.

So, no matter what happens,
like I'm still her.

When I first met you, I actually
thought like,

he's a really handsome guy.

You seemed really sweet.

But your connection with
Janaye is actually so strong.

Like, I do want to connect with
you more

but I don't
feel like you

are really providing
that space for me to.

It's almost kind of unfair.

[light tense music plays]

Okay, are you finished?

Okay. Now I'm gonna tell you
how I feel.

Coming up.

I don't have time.

I just, I don't have--

So then you just gonna quit?

- Are you leaving.
- Yeah, I'm over it.

These men are old and bald.

[tense music plays]

So, we hear that you just going
to dig up dirt as much

as you can about people's
past and so--

So then, so then,
why don't--

Hold on, let me finish.

That's our past. We all have
one.

Nobody's perfect. Nobody's
without flaw. I'm certainly not.

And I was gonna talk to you
about it.

It was just more of a concern.

I'm like well, that's
not king behavior.

So, my question
was is he still like that?

What would have been cool was
if when you did that,

instead of trying to talk to
everybody around the house,

is to come talk to me.
You went the opposite way,

which is extremely
toxic. And nobody wants that.

Like, that's really messy.

You have a beautiful soul inside
of you

and you deserve to have
whatever it is

that you're looking for,
and you will find that.

It's just not gonna
be with me.

I'm gonna go.

I wish you the best
of luck finding your king.

I wish you the best
of luck, too.

Thank you.

[light tense music]

So, what is this,
actually?

That's my,
that's my question to you.

- What is what?
- What is this?

- This?
- Yes.

- This is a mixer.
- No, obviously.

But why am I here?

Why are you here?

Yes, why am I here?

I don't like a jealous woman.

So, you know. She knows that.

Oh, my gosh.

Sorry, guys.

[tense music plays]

Ah, someone's upset.

Can I take my mic off now?

The only living thing on this
earth that I chase is my dog.

I am not about to chase a man
that does not chase me.

I'm done. I'm so serious.

What the hell is happening?

Oh, my gosh.

Are you okay?

Well, I'm, I just feel like,
one,

I attract way better men
than that in real life.

And two...

[sighs]

just...

Oh, I know.

I'm gonna go...
I'm gonna go home.

Some people have a hard time
hearing the truth.

In my regular life, if I didn't
want to be around somebody,

I'd just get on my motorcycle
and ride off. Or just walk off,

you know. But in this house

there's not too many places
where I can hide.

Let me talk to you.

This is kinda getting really
stressful for me.

I found information on Carlos,

which it's public
information, so.

So, you know, I did mention it
and maybe I didn't go...

You mentioned it to whom?
The OGs?

The... yes.

That's so many years ago.

Okay, answer me this,
and be honest.

You didn't do it to be salty and
try to ruin what he's got?

'Cause it kinda looks like
that right now, babe.

I don't have time.

- I just don't have time.
- So then you just gonna quit?

I'm gonna get
eliminated anyway.

What happened?

Yeah. I'm over it.

What I think is really
happening here

is that they're trying to
save their image

from being eliminated so they're
just going to get up and quit.

I'm ready to go.

These men are old and bald.
I don't have time.

Nice meeting you.

- Nice meeting you.
- Good luck.

I came here for love.
Nice meeting you.

Good luck.

But clearly,
love is not here.

[tense music plays]

I'm just ready to go.

Carlos, you were just making up

something to have me there

at that elimination 'cause you
know dang well

that there is nothing wrong with
me.

You're ghetto.

Your way of
thinking is a little ghetto.

And your history is
ghetto, too.

On the next "Kings Court".

That's tough!

What if these girls
are super hot?

Who's he trying to ask
on a date?

- I like the outfit.
- Bow down, bitches.

Could shake things
up a little bit.

Come over here.
Why you being feisty?

Don't make me come over
and come get you.

Easy girls are a dime a dozen.

[woman shrieks]

Wow.

The Black Hugh Hefner.

If you put too much helium in a
ballon, it's gonna pop.

Let's talk about something
else, please.

How?
