RacQuel shared that when she was in her 20s she had lost her job and had to sell drugs to make ends meet. She added:

"It was in my 20s, I lost my job and at that point, since I don't have a job, I went to the streets and I started selling drugs. And that just made me realize what I didn't want out of life and how you should always be humble and always be grateful for what you do have because they can just take like that," she said.

"It was just a natural beauty at first, and you know the outfit that she came in, it tastes so approachable. Just looking at her eyes, I definitely want to get to learn a little more about T," Husieen reacted in his confessional.

Before sharing her "life defining moment," RacQuel noted that her moment wasn't about how she excelled in life, like Takesha's story, but rather it was about her past. She then went on to talk about how in her 20s she had lost a job and had to sell drugs to make money.

Cameron reacted in his confessional:

"I definitely appreciateed RacQuel opening up. RacQuel has always been a real person and that's why I like her. She's just super authentic."

Cameron went next, noting that his life defining moment had a lot to do with his mental health. He shared that he used to be a "depressed as* person" and was all on his own when he was struggling through his life.

He added he was living on food stamps and didn't feel like he wanted to be in the world anymore.

However, his niece kept popping up in her head and he realized that he needed to turn around his life for her.

So to take himself out of that depressing hole, he changed his mindset and eventually became a happier person:

"It's not easy to let people into your personal life. So I'm feeling good about everything. The game allowed me to have the chance to open up, take Tae's advice, and to break down a few walls and really let people in," he continued in his confessional.
