OWN’s hit reality dating show “Ready to Love” will soon return for its milestone 10th season.
The series, hosted by Thomas “Nephew Tommy” Miles, is traveling to Philadelphia to hopefully help 20 singles find love.
Ahead of the Season 10 premiere, which arrives on Friday, Feb. 7 at 8 p.m. ET/PT, OWN released a trailer teasing some of the romantic connections and drama that fans can anticipate.
In the clip, Nephew Tommy challenges the contestants to “put independence in the past” and rely on someone other than themselves. One of those contestants is Sahara Logan, a 34-year-old home healthcare provider and hair company owner.
“This go around, baby, I’m bringing sexy back,” she says in her confessional.
Elsewhere, more contestants are shown taking a dip in a pool. Others enjoy a date at a roller skating rink.
“I want the best for you, but that requires intentionality, vulnerability and good old fashion honesty,” Nephew Tommy tells the group before the more intense portion of the trailer begins. During one heated moment, Naeem Turner, a 42-year-old nutrition bar and gym owner, says that one of his dates gave him a fake number.
It seems the drama will kick off from Episode One, titled “The First RTL Wedding,” as the new cast witness a wedding between two stars from the Washington, D.C. season before half of them attend two mixers.
“One man’s nonstop joking and one woman’s quirky ways could send them home the first night,” the press release teases.
So, who is embarking on this unexpected journey to find love? TODAY.com has the exclusive reveal of the Season 10 “Ready to Love” cast, which features two firefighters, multiple business owners and a former professional basketball player.
