The guys gather to discuss eliminations

After spending time with their potential suitors at the Philly Block Party and throughout the week, the guys gathered with Uncle Tommy to share updates on their "blooming connections."

Calil Clark went first, sharing that he was still "vibing" with Takesha. He mentioned that they had engaging conversations and a fun time together, adding that he felt that their connection was still strong.

Francisco also shared that Takesha was still at the top of his list of potential suitors. He reflected on their conversation at the block party and expressed that he remained hopeful about their connection.

The blooming connections for the rest of the guys were:

• Naeem Turner - Deona Green
• Edward ‘Eddie’ Callender - Deona Green
• John ‘Jay’ Jones - Kiara Williams
• Husieen Edmonds - Angla ‘Angie’ Walls
• Fritz Andre - Shanice Jenkins
• Cameron Palmer - Rosalee "Rose" Anderson and Sahara Logan

After hearing about their connections, Uncle Tommy asked the guys to name the women they wanted to eliminate from the show.

Sahara and RacQuel Colòn's names were thrown in the most. However, Cameron had a problem with Fritz, with how he was silently bad-mouthing Sahara and pushing for her elimination despite knowing that he had a connection with her.

After Cameron and Fritz's heated argument over the issue, Tommy asked the Ready To Love male contestants to unanimously decide on two women to send home.
