Ready to Love

Introducing the cast of the show.

"RTL" returns for its fourth season in Washington, D.C.; heeding Tommy's advice to put themselves out there, romance blossoms early for many singles; disconnections send two people home and anger a third.

In Week 2, the men are on the chopping block as the ladies look to peel back more layers. Connections are strengthened and challenged. Corey has his hero moment, but some women aren't feeling his game. Is Carrington too slick for his own good?

The power has now shifted to the men this week, and Tommy challenges them to get out of their comfort zone with their dates; Corey redeems himself yet again; Phil starts to ignite a love story; Tyrone and Kheri address their issues.

It's sink or swim for the daters as the ladies reclaim elimination power and suit up for a pool party; Tommy's curveball tosses everyone into the deep end; Kamil treads water with Cornelius; Aisha uncovers a hidden gem; Corey overplays his hand.

Midway through the process, the power shifts back to the men as Tommy calls upon them to step outside the box and date women they haven't connected with yet; the assignment helps expose unexpected romances, dying sparks and fresh jealousies.

Shawn faces a firing squad; Kamil's pals worry she will crush Cornelius; Phil goes on three dates; at the ladies' lounge, Zadia's on 100 and Tisia threatens to go on 100 and two.

Tommy throws his best curveball yet; the guys introduce their next to their ex; some of the ladies are in for an extra surprise when they realize they aren't the only connection to be invited out to meet their interest's ex.

Tommy surprises the remaining singles with a weekend at a bayside mansion, but he's packed a major curveball in his luggage; connections are made and broken, and tension reaches a boiling point as the couples deal with the fallout.

After a shocking elimination at the retreat, the singles return to D.C., and it's the men who have the power to eliminate; Mumen heavily pursues Frank; Walter contends with Sabrina's past; Phil falls deeper for Sidney.

As couples begin to solidify, those involved in love triangles still have a tough decision to make; the men's families are called in as one last assignment to help the final eight daters determine who is ready to love.

The singles reunite in Chocolate City, where twists, tears and truths are revealed; with special guest host Tanika Ray.
