“Ready To Love” ends its latest season as it does most, with a glimmer of hope contained within a dark cloud of reasons why people put dating on the backburner.
“Ready To Love” ends its latest season as it does most, with a glimmer of hope contained within a dark cloud of reasons why people put dating on the backburner.
“Ready To Love” continues to be more a subtle horror series than a show that could inspire someone to put themselves out there and find love.
Final decisions are made, and boy, when it comes to rejection, some people are MESSY!
As we come upon everyone having to make a final decision, there are more meek choices than there are ones worth being passionate about.
As most lock into who might be their final choice, pressure is put on Chaz to act like the journey is almost over.
The getaway episode is one of the last themed episodes that usually create new couples and leads to people beginning to lock in – but not this season.
It’s time to meet the ladies’ exes and considering how this has gone in the past, the potential for drama is high.
As the guys have their friends meet the ladies, we’re reminded that this has been a staple of the series for a reason.
With a woman self-eliminating recently, Tommy decides it is time to even the numbers, meaning two men have to go home.
At a pajama party, everyone comes together for a game that goes a little too far.
Another person who obviously shouldn’t have been cast is eliminated, as Tommy brings on one person, and we get our second self-elimination of the season.
As all the singles come together, we’re reminded that anyone who gets too serious or asks what can be considered hard questions doesn’t know how this game is played.
The second half of this season’s singles are introduced, and things are flipped with the men having the power and the ladies having to prove they’ve been listening.
OWN’s longest-running franchise, “Ready To Love,” has a new season each year, or sometimes six months. With “Ready To Love: Make A Move,” the formula is modified so that it is only alumni, and the four can’t be eliminated as they once again go on “The Journey.”
As the mainline “Ready To Love” returns, there are shifts to the initial mixer that may help those who would otherwise struggle, and a game is put in place that is meant to further challenge participants.
In part 2 of the reunion, fully expect the kind of mess the mainline series has, especially when it comes to the men.
As the ladies make their final decisions, it’s quickly followed by the reunion show, which begins with each addressing the beef some had with one another.
As the ladies go on their final dates with the men, so comes the question if they are willing to look be in a long-distance relationship with someone who, for most, has communication issues.
It’s the beginning of the end for the latest “Ready To Love” spin-off, and as when the season began, there is a need to question if the long-distance relationships being set up are over.
Will Zadia and Cameron come to an end? Will Shareese welcome Maurice back? How about Ashlee choosing between Donald and Kirston? As familiar faces return, we’re left to wonder how serious is anyone about long term love?
In a slightly uneventful episode, Zadia begins to realize Cameron may not have time to date as the other ladies continue to go through the motions.
In an episode more dedicated to who is getting kicked than who is staying, it increasingly is hard to say if any of the ladies may find what they are looking for.
As it becomes a serious question worth asking, if the numbers game will lead to the same problem the ladies had before, the ladies continue to be entertained but maybe not find “The One.”
The ladies invite some “Ready To Love” alumni to help them make a choice on their keepers, and one seemingly forgot she isn’t on the show but is a guest.
“Ready To Love: Make A Move” probably has the least dramatic episode of the franchise, even with tough elimination decisions.
Tamica decides to have the ladies date the same man. Will this mean drama or the type of maturity you’d hope for?
Tamica sets the ladies up on some dates, and they easily handle their first elimination. However, drama between Zadia and Shareese shakes up the house.
Four ladies of past Ready To Love seasons get a spin-off where they remain in the power position all season long, but will that be enough to help them find love?
In a episode mainly focused on how Janelle made people feel a certain type of way, she mostly remains unbothered by their struggles.
Part 1 delivers the drama you’ve been waiting for, but as the ending shows, we may have seen nothing yet.
Excerpt
It’s time for final decisions, and, as usual, we don’t end up with three final couples. However, do we at least end up with one that’s believable?
With things coming to an end, one person realizes they are, and may have been for a while, wasting their time.
As the getaway ends, and the ladies have the power to eliminate, it seems to come down to who the first choice is and their backup plan.
As one final couple seems to be secured, everyone else either seems to be blind to who is not interested in them or are struggling with the idea choosing who is left.
It’s time for the ladies to have the men meet their best friends, and if you’ve been watching closely, the problems you’ve been peeping finally get realized by the cast.
It’s that peculiar time of “Ready To Love” when cast members meet the exes and more often than not, it blows up in the other person’s face.
Tommy decides to throw a curveball of a double elimination! Can you guess which two men are told they are not “Ready To Love?”
Non-Negotiables, aka deal breakers, are shared, which doesn’t lead to any shake-ups, but someone having baggage, and not hiding it in the closet, makes them a easy target for elimination.
It’s time for a group date, and while there isn’t much in the way of jealousy, beyond one or two cast members, once again there is a difficult elimination since neither one likely is a desirable choice.
The overall goal of Wherever I Look is to fill in that space between the average fan and critic and advise you on what’s worth experiencing.
