We are having an old-school cookout.
The Kings met the Queens' family and friends.
Nivea's besties gave the thumbs-up to Travis and Mac.

- Nurturing is nurturing.
- I feel better than what I felt before.

We're not gonna allow anyone to come in
and break our heart anymore.

I've been engaged.

In your whole life, the longest relationship
you've been in is four years?
- Um...
- While Lavon made quite the impression.
- She just open up.
She's vulnerable, real about it,
and I wanna let her know I appreciate that.
- Who's your number one? - It would be Lavon.

- Three Kings landed on the chopping block.
- What's the highest that we can go?
- There's a side of me
that I'm a little bit afraid to put out.
- You do feel a little closed off.
Where is that gonna get you?
- I just want to let you know, like, I'm not trying
to be in any type of, like, friend zone.
- You aren't? - 100%.
- Man, that's throwing me.

he didn't know what to expect and he felt guarded.

or do you wanna know the inner me?
- Both.
Hopefully we can dig a little deeper.
That's why I'm looking forward to Tyrone moving in,
digging a little deeper...
so that he can dig a little deeper in me.

- That was an amazing laugh. - Yes.
- I'm trying to understand the difference about that.
- Because you get very much like,
"You mine, and that's what it is,
but I understand everything has to take its course."
Is that what you're saying? - But isn't that true?
- [laughing] I'm leaving.
- Okay. - Boy, bye.
Wow. That's how you feel?
- I'm joking. Stop.
Of course I am. Of course I'm playing.
- No, because Gatsby don't feel that way.
JR ain't finna have me baby mama number five,

And so I don't want to,
you know, fall for the okey-doke
and miss what I need to catch.
Feel me? And then I find myself

Yes, ma'am.

Gerard is still...I don't know that much about him.
Or maybe it's trust issues,
and he puts on a certain air or facade.
It's not that, ooh, you're a mystery.
But you're here to find love.
Why are you being closed off?
Yeah, he knows what he's doing.
He knows that. He knows.
- Man, I'll tell you what.
What I really enjoyed... - Tell me.
- The other day was meeting your daughter.
- You did?
- Of course. Of course.
Here's what I really realized is,
I've never seen you blush before ever.
So for you to do that in front of your daughter,
right, it really allowed me to see that it's true.
Right, it's like you're actually being vulnerable...
- Yeah. - With me sitting there
at the table while this is going on.
I just like everything she's got going on...
from the inside.

- That was some intense eye contact,
wasn't it? - That was.
- And there was no denying
just the way that me and you look at one another.

may I have some words with Evelyn?
- Yeah. - Of course.
Of course. - Thank you.
What the [bleep]?

I would love to get the opportunity.
What's going on?
- You tell me. You have been distant.
You know, we have a lot of good conversations.

What are you... like, we're adults.

I ain't got time for that.
Uh-uh, don't play with me. Play with your mama.
Men don't have attitudes with me.
I don't do that.
- So what's up? Has it been a lot for you?
- It has.
It definitely has. - It has?
- It's super stressful on my brain.
- Being with one of us, it's a lot
because if you and I dated... - Yeah.
- Our relationship would be public,
which means a lot of what we do,
even if we're not publicizing it,
gets out to the media, gets out to blogs.
- And you think that would affect me?
- I do.
Travis is always so nervous.
When I started having a conversation with him,
he was, like, sweating profusely.
I know he boxes, and he probably has stressful fights.
But it's just a different thing
with having millions of people talk about you.
- I don't think that would.
But you're entitled to how you feel.
- I'm not saying that that's a deciding factor.
I'm just saying... - Oh, no, no, I get it.
And I get that. - How do you think you would
feel being in a public relationship?
You want a tissue?
- Am I sweating everywhere? - Yeah.
- Yeah? - It's okay.
- Sorry, I'll be right back. - Yeah.
[sighs]
- Tell me how it is. - I do hate that you're here.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. - But at the same time,
you and I did establish that we had a friend connection.
- Yeah. - Then out of nowhere
at one of the elimination dinners, you was like...
[whispers] I don't want to just be in the friend zone.
- Mm-hmm. - I'm like,
was you just saying that just...
- No. - 'Cause of the elimination?
All right, I'm gonna tell you how it went down.
When's the last time you got, like,
somebody was like, I just wanna be your friend?
- I never really get it. - Yeah.
So for me, like, I never heard that.
So I immediately agreed. And it was like...
- Oh. - No, no, but, like...
- Don't be friend-zoning me.
[laughter]
- Hold up, shorty. Hold up. - Hold up.
- I ain't gonna be your friend now, hon.
- At this point, I don't know
what to think with Terek, chile.
Terek had more than enough opportunity
at the pool party to show me
that he sees me more than just a friend.
I didn't know.
I thought we had a mutual... - But here's the thing.
I'm gonna keep trying to prove to you
that I'm down to ride, you know what I'm saying?
For real. - Yeah, it's not a guarantee
you're going home. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, well, cheers. - We'll see.
- Give me a hug, girl. - Yes.

- Mm. - Ooh, yes, give me some sugar.
Okay, Terek, changed my mind a little.

I can take that pressure. I can take any pressure.
- Yeah.
- She feels like you guys have a really good friendship.
- Yep, yep, yep, yep. But she said that first.
So I just kind of went... I was like, oh, yeah.
That's... - You're like, okay.
- When's the last time that's happened to you,
where you've gotten, like...
- I don't know if I've ever been friend-zoned.
[laughter]
- I hate that you're in this dinner.
- Ah, yeah, it's miserable. It's anxiety for nothing.
- Well, I still don't wanna see you go yet.
But it is what it is.
- I mean, I've been out of a relationship
for going on two years now, and...
- That's perfectly okay. - I don't need
to be with someone. - I had to learn that.
- It's just an opportunity to get a chance to meet someone.
- Mm-hmm. - I am a hopeless romantic.
And there's, like, no other way to put that.
I've always been like that.
- There's nothing wrong with that.
- You ever see...it's so corny.
You ever see "The Notebook"? - Oh, my Lamb.
Don't play with me. - That is, like, my...
- It's one of my favorite movies.

I'm excited to get to know you more.
I have a little confession to make about Travis.
I just like Travis.
We have so much connection.
The only thing is that I don't really know what that means.
He's so zoomed in on Evelyn.
[laughing] And I don't think
he is catching the hint at all
that I'm looking at him a little differently.
- You have quite the lineup. - Yeah.
- You seem like you have, like, actual matches.
- I have a good solid two. - Yeah.
- I'm all about action though.
You can talk all you want.
It has to be showing.
- The hardest part about this though,
is the actual action
because I'm not a person of action at all.
You and I connected in vibes right away.
- Right. - We just clicked.
And that's great. If it was built off that,
then it would work. - Do you feel like
someone is gonna be able to deal with that?
Or are you gonna have to start being in your face?
- Well, yeah, I gotta put myself out there.
I gotta say what I want. I gotta be me.
And if it doesn't work, it doesn't work.
- Bold jump, yeah.
- What I like about Nivea is that
there's not really a front, right, and I like that
because it's very loving and open.
But it's also cut and dry. And I'm just saying this,
but I wish Evelyn was a little bit more like, you know, Nivea
'cause I would like to get to know Evelyn a little more.
- I respect that. I'm the same way.
- Come on, T, let's talk. - Let's talk, girl.
- What's popping? - I actually do have
a question for you. Like, how important...'cause...
actually I kind of know this
from one of the other times we've talked.
Like, money is very important to you.
- Excuse me? - Not like that.
But, like, for you, I was like, what if you weren't doing
what you were doing, if money wasn't involved?
You said money is everything.
- No, that's not what I said.
- I don't wanna twist your words.
- I said I would be doing the exact same thing.
- If money wasn't an object,
what would you do? What would you be doing?
- How is money not ever an object?
How you gonna eat? - Let's just say...
what would you do if money wasn't...
- I would still be who I am. - Love that.
- I'm not gonna say money was everything,
'cause I don't wanna put words in your mouth.
- And you did. - I'm trying
to not get blood on this suit, so...
[laughs] - [laughs drily]
- What I mean by that is... - Wow.
- No, that's not what I meant to say.

I know I ruined this conversation.
But that's not what I wanted to say to you.
But yeah.
- I really don't wanna talk about these guys,
especially Terek 'cause he's a bitch.
They're not gentlemen.
They shouldn't be amongst a bunch of Queens.
I'm gonna go freshen up. - We tried.
- I'll be right back. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, we tried.

- Hello, Queens. - Hello, hello.
Hello, Queens. - Hello.
Little bit different setup tonight
because of the rain, but isn't it beautiful?
- It is beautiful. - It's intimate
and very lovely, right, honey?
- Yes, it is, just like you, baby.
- Aw.
- All right, Queens.
I know this is gonna be
a little bit of a difficult night.
But if you wanna find your King,
this is how it has to be.
And now's the time to hear what you're thinking.
Rodney and I are dying to know. [laughter]
- Dying to know.
- Let's start with Terek.
Tamar, any interesting conversation
with Terek tonight?
- Yeah, you know, he was...
- [laughing]
I'm sorry. - An asshole from Assville.
And so Terek tonight said,
"I remember asking you a while ago,
"if you wasn't who you are today, what would you be?
And you said, nothing, because all I care about is money."
- Oh, my Lamb. - Who said that?
[laughing] Who said that?
- Wow. - 'Cause I didn't say that.
What I said was, nothing because I wanted to be a singer
since I was five years old.
[tense music]
- What in the world?
- Chile, I have had it for tonight, honey.
Chile. - Mm.
- These busters and dusters, I cannot.
- Yikes.
- I don't know what to say.

- Okay. I think we know what we need to do.
- Absolutely.
- Let's have the gentlemen join us at the table.
[dramatic music]
♪ ♪
- It's been a pleasure getting to know all three of you.
But now, it's time.
Ladies, let's hear what you have to say.
Evelyn.
- Travis.
I think you are such an amazing guy.
You are just a dream to be around,
especially how great you are with everybody in the house.
You're genuinely just being yourself.
But I think that one of my concerns with you is,
I wonder how you would deal with the pressures
of being with someone that's in the public eye.
You know, the scrutiny, being on blogs,
and people having opinions about you
and our relationship if we were in one.
I do worry about that
just because you have looked stressed sometimes.
But you said you feel like you can handle
being with someone in the public eye.
All that said and done...
you are not leaving tonight.
[upbeat music]
- Thank you very much, ladies.
- Congratulations, Travis. - Thank you.
Thank you, sir. - You won't be leaving us
tonight. - Thank you, sir.
- Have a drink of water.
- I'm gonna sip...I'm just... [laughter]
I'm not nervous right now. - My man.
- Travis, you continue to show the ladies
that you want to be here.
- I do.
- So take what these Queens have told you.
And use it to make sure you don't end up here again
because I'm tired of seeing you at this dinner.
No shade.
- Yes, agreed. - You're here too much.
- Agreed. - You're free to go.
We'll see you soon.
- Ladies, have a good night. - You too.
It was a great time 'cause I didn't get eliminated.
And after hearing Evelyn's kind words,
it definitely made me feel more optimistic
about moving forward...
- So that leaves two of you to discuss...
Terek and Gerard.
- Nivea.
- Gerard. - Yes.
- I was drawn to you, like, right off the bat.
You were a Georgia boy. I'm a Georgia girl.
And I think we connected with that.
But it was very short-lived,
as I didn't have a lot of time to get to know you.
I was calling you a mystery man, a question mark.
Tonight in the mixer, I did get
to change my mind about that a bit.
You aren't necessarily a question mark.
You're just slow as to letting people in,
which honestly I don't think was the way
you should have come into this.
I enjoy talking to you.
And I think you're very attractive.
- Well, thank you. - But we've all agreed
that we aren't necessarily interested
in pursuing anything romantic with you.
Therefore you are not our King.
- Okay.
- I'm still pissed off at Gerard
for talking to me the way that he did.
From that moment on, I was done with him.
I don't wanna talk to him, let alone deal with him.
So I'm just really happy that my girl Nivea handled it
the way that she did.
- Tamar.
- Terek. [chuckles]
We've had an opportunity to have conversations
throughout this whole process.
And I understand sometimes you say things.
You put your foot in your mouth.
However, sometimes you can
offend the wrong person at the wrong time.
That comment that you made to me
was completely insensitive, hurtful.
And it doesn't necessarily speak for your character,
but it does definitely speak of what you're capable of.
And for us, we need someone who knows how to treat a Queen.
So therefore, I'm sorry, you are not our King.
- I think that it was a loss in communication.
That's it.
This competition's so tight.
If you miss-say one thing, it can just burn you.
That's just how it is.
- Gerard and Terek,
thank you for helping our Queens
trying to find true love.
You can say your goodbyes.
- Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you, Tamar.

- Terek.
- I just want to say this has been
an absolute pleasure.
What a journey. What a roller coaster.
Um, I was having a conversation with Miss Tamar over here.
And I just remember I had asked you a question
that was like, if money wasn't an object,
what would you be doing? You were like, pshh,
money is always gonna be an object.
- Never said that. Who...
- Okay. I mean, I thought
it was something like that. I don't know.
I mean, it's not like I'm trying to be like that.
- Well, you are. - But it was, like,
on our first mixer.
It was, like, our first thing.
But it doesn't mean that... it doesn't matter.
I was here for Nivea.
And I just want to say I really enjoyed
my time with you, and thank you so much.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- Thank you so much, Terek.
You're free to leave. Thanks again.
- It's the doubling down for me.
I...unbelievable.
Even just to put that out there
into the universe, it's unfair.
- That's not fair. - It's not fair.
I'm not even like that. But it's all good.
- Well, these don't get any easier.
- Oh, my Lamb.
- I think we all deserve a little toast.
[laughter] A little exhale.
Ladies? - Yes, cheers.
- Yes. To the Queens. - Cheers.
- To the Queens. - Can I just say,
I am proud of you all.
- Thank you. - I really am.
You guys are being real
and the Queens that I know you are.
And so I appreciate that.
- Here's to authenticity.
- How about that?
- On the next "Queens Court"...
- Y'all know how to play Never Have I Ever, right?
- Never have I ever deprived my body of something I need.
- Oh, I have.
Penis. [laughter]
- We have nine guys left.
And over half of them are on your roster.
[tense music]
- Oh, yeah, I didn't realize that.
- I need one of y'all to act like
you don't wanna share me.
There's gotta be one. - Gotta be one.
