You mad? Why? Can you answer my question? ?
Why?
Does everyone on ready to love wear veneers? They all have perfectly straight white teeth.
Does everyone on ready to love have veneers? Every last one of them seem to have perfect teeth.
I’m mad you said that lol
Can “Ready to love” consider a BBW (big and beautiful), version? I know you have to have a variety of ladies in your pool. However, I felt it was unfair for full figured sisters like Tessa, who almost got eliminated early, because she just wasn’t the majority of the men’s “type”. You’re either attracted to plus size or you’re not. In the end, they may reconsider their position, but those types usually end up not lasting or having a brother wanting to change a sister. BTW, thanks for changing your format from what you had in season 1. Having 12 women competing for just 4 men, had me livid. WTF?!
I totally agree with Crystal about Arron, he should not have even been on the show Period!
Just wondering if OWN TV and Will Packer Productions conducted background checks (criminal, civil) on the cast of Ready to Love. An internet search revealed one of the females has a criminal record and the occupation of one the males is questionable. Both were in the Cabin episode. Were these people properly vetted?
Hello, I’d like to say I really liked the Series Ready to love watching the show really represents the reality of what it’s like to get to know someone on a different level which was real for me, I can’t wait until the next season. One more thing Arron was full of mess from the beginning I don’t know how he made it to the end.
