Okay I watched one. ROFL. I'm sorry, but the brother with the braids is Foine! What is with the red mess on the front of her head?
@Cbean--meet me in the naughty corner! LOL
Ok I watched the first to and I need a break. "Narisse" said "FLAME ON" You could see the red piece when they took off the lights in the theatre. I thought I detected a hint of a Jamaican accent which would explain it. No hating here I can bust on her because I am from close by :-)
I only watched 2...I'm at work...can't be opening the flood gates at work! I voted more than once...hehe! Regardless I hope they all have very special wedding days! OK, I gotta go...I'm starting again!
DANGONIT! Being nosey...I just watched all of them....They are all sooo cute! Keyboard is full of tears! GOSH TANYETTA! GOSH!
I love Narisse and Devon. Red Hair or not...her outfit was FAB!
I see most of these men are in the South or on the East Coast because they damn sure aren't on the West Coast. I'm sorry, do I sound bitter?
Ah man! I'm getting all veclempt ova here!
DAVON AND NERISSE ARE THE COUPLE TO VOTE FOR! NO DOUBT ABOUT IT!!! VOTE! VOTE! VOTE!
