“I can’t find someone who wants to connect on a more intimate level,” Chelsea, 31, agrees before Amy, 34, adds, “I think I’ve been ready to meet the person. I just haven’t figured out how to go about it.”
Amy isn’t the only one who believes she’s ready to meet the one. A video producer named Drake, 32, also confesses it was time for him to find his other half.
“I’m ready to find love now because I love myself,” he explains, “and in order to love someone else, you have to be in tune with yourself.”
While sharing what they’ve learned to prepare themselves for love, a few of the ladies get emotional and other contestants like Kenneth, 26, open up about the challenges that have inspired them to seek connection.

Other singles noted some of the deal-breakers that aren’t up for negotiation once they step into the pods.
“Something I’m not going to sacrifice is my integrity. I’m a strong, proud black woman. I stand strong and the things that I believe in,” Amber Desiree “AD”, 33, notes as other women get candid about their desires to have kids.
