So obviously, there's still a lot more to deal with here,
a lot more to talk about.
But before we do, let's take a look back
at Alexia's dating journey.
Now, she struggled to make a connection early,
but she found chemistry with Monte when
he decided to shoot a shot.
Mm-hm.
ALEXIA: You don't know him, do you?
Never seen him a day in my life.
[LAUGHING]
ALEXIA: You ready to go?
Let's see if I can really score out here.
[LAUGHING]
I need you to slow down, sir.
I think being here in my element with Chris
is helping me to be myself.
There we go.
I'm more comfortable, I'm more able to tune
in to having a conversation, to really opening up
to try to get to know any person,
because I haven't dated in God knows how long.
CHRIS ANTHONY: I do think you're a beautiful woman.
I believe you, I'm listening to you.
I'm just here to have a good time.
We're going to have a good time, though.
We ain't going to spend time on that.
You like basketball, so I set us up a nice dinner and basketball
day.
ALEXIA: [LAUGHING]
You ever date anybody that could ball better than you?
[LAUGHING] Man, you know you ain't played in a--
In a minute.
ALEXIA: How many kids do you have?
I have one, a girl.
Yeah?
I been teaching her how to shoot and stuff--
Do you want more kids?
MONTE: Yeah, I want a family with it, though.
You know, we go to be in a relationship with somebody
that you really love.
You know what I'm saying?
You're speaking the-- you're speaking wisdom.
So what do you hope to get out of this experience?
Honestly, right now, I'm just focusing on myself.
Right, self love.
I been working on me too, so.
Why did you want to go on a second date with me?
Oh, I thought you were cool.
You're trying to think about the future, apparently.
I guess, yeah.
It takes a lot of letting inside your ego
to be able to do that.
Mm.
MONTE: It's just a constant competition
within the relationship. - We're both alphas.
MONTE: Right. - It's like--
MONTE: Just butting heads.
Maybe, you may need to just move on.
ALEXIA: Right.
MONTE: You know?
And let me know if that happens.
ALEXIA: [LAUGHING] I will.
Chris Anthony and Monte are here with us.
Thank you guys for joining us, all suited and booted,
looking good over here.
Monte, did you know you were the only guy
she went on a second date with?
Yeah, she told me that I was shocked that, you know,
that was the case.
Yeah?
But it seemed like, you know, she had
found a connection early on.
But maybe it was because she wasn't
opening herself up at first.
EGYPT SHERROD: Did you feel that she
wasn't emotionally available?
I mean, we were playing basketball, she kind of,
you know, was a little bit, you know, guarded, you know,
no pun intended.
But after a while, she kind of, like, let loose a little bit.
And then when we started having dinner,
the conversation got a little bit better,
and we found a connection.
There obviously was a lot going on during this process.
Clearly, she's in love with the person
that she'd been with for 14 years.
A lot of things came out, whether you know or not.
Yeah.
Perhaps, she would have this experience a lot differently,
knowing what she knows now.
Do you know she's single now?
Yes, I do, actually, yeah.
Do you guys still communicate?
We're friends.
What do you mean by friends?
Like, define friends.
Like, I always preach about support.
I need somebody that supports me.
We speak every-- probably every other two
days, or something like that.
But what was it about Monte from all your dates
that made you want to go out with him again.
ALEXIA: We got to play basketball,
so I gave him an opportunity.
Whereas with Chris, I mean, I kind of stopped
that as soon as it started.
Because it's--
And why was that?
ALEXIA: Because I was in a relationship.
And I was really working on my relationship.
I can honestly say I didn't give him a chance at all.
I didn't even try to.
So retrospectively, when you watch that tape back and all
your dates, and you see these gentlemen sitting over here,
how do you feel?
Stupid, dumb, naiive.
Girl, I hear you.
So Chris Anthony, how are you, brother?
- I'm good. - Yeah?
Yeah.
And what'd do you think about Alexia on your date?
I know you guys didn't get a lot of time.
Well, I would definitely say that I felt--
I guess our date was not really a situation
where we could really have an intimate setting.
I mean, we were having fun, and then we sat down,
and I kind of was just trying to understand the situation.
And then, I guess, you know, when she started talking,
I just started--
I started to listen, because I felt like she
needed to express that.
And plus, I mean, I needed to hear it.
Is there any attraction still here, Anywhere?
I've always had an attraction to Chris.
Did you know that, Chris?
No, I'm unaware of any of that.
I mean, I felt a little connection,
but I didn't want to overstep my boundary, just--
EGYPT SHERROD: I get it, you were the first date.
You recognized that there was a dynamic where she
had a boyfriend for 14 years.
And now, she's single and ready to mingle.
And she just really shot her shot
by telling you on national television that, bro, hey,
I'm putting my leg out for you.
Can I sit on her side now.
EGYPT SHERROD: Please do, brother.
Please do.
Look how he just worked that out.
Come on, scoot on down.
Yeah, so now this is more like it.
EGYPT SHERROD: So you guys want to try going on a date?
I'm demanding a second date.
Alexia, you like his aggressive nature?
Yeah.
EGYPT SHERROD: A man who says what he wants, huh?
ALEXIA: Mm-hm. EGYPT SHERROD: Yeah.
I do.
EGYPT SHERROD: What did you like about Chris on your date?
Obviously, you were trying to stay
focused on your relationship, but what was it about him?
ALEXIA: It was-- he was really just listening to me,
because I was venting so much.
So for someone to sit there and listen to me, that [BLEEPED]
ain't happen in a long time.
So it was different, and I took it as not aggressive,
when really, he was just listening.
So he demands a second date.
Will there be a second, third, and fourth date?
Fifth, sixth, seventh.
EGYPT SHERROD: I like what I'm hearing.
