"Much like Ashley, while I enjoyed the speed dating, I don’t need to see Gizelle on a date because we’ve seen this storyline play out many times. Especially since she’s going to be on the Love Hotel spinoff, we can just watch her date there. I’m bored," a person reacted.

"He doesn't really know me that well" — The Real Housewives of Potomac star Gizelle reacts to Nnamnse bringing her on a salsa date

In one of the segments of episode 11, Gizelle reunited with Nnamnse on a salsa date, excited to see how their connection fared. Although she was thrilled to meet him after their speed date in the previous episode, she was unhappy to discover that their date included dancing.

"He doesn't really know me that well because he would know, like, I can't do this," she said.

However, The Real Housewives of Potomac cast member was willing to try and learn. While Nnamnse wanted their date to be different and fun, Gizelle wished to put her best foot forward to make their time fruitful.

Soon, Gizelle cornered Nnamnse with a rapid-fire round of questioning, hoping to figure out the type of man he was. During the questioning, Gizelle learned that Nnamnse preferred Michael Jordan over LeBron James, Biggie Smalls over Tupac, had no criminal history, and was never married or engaged.

"One thing Gizelle knows about herself is that I need for you to be a little mean to me otherwise I don't like you anymore. Remember, rough around the edges, like, I don't think Nnamnse did any jail time," she said.

The pair ended their date dancing, which Gizelle enjoyed, impressing Nnamnse with her moves.
