So, Tika, go like this one more time.
'Cause it's hard not to see that rock on her finger. Yes?
-Oh, I'm, like... -[audience laughing]
I'm like, huh?
Wrong hand, wrong hand. This one. This one.
So... [laughing] you're engaged...
-[Tika] Yes. -...to Nick James, better known
-to fans-- -Officer Jackson.
[Egypt] Officer Jackson Lewis.
Yes!
Don't threaten me again.
A threat would be screaming to your mother...
and your wife how you enjoyed getting off on Jeffrey.
You don't want to go down this road with me.
-[laughing] -Is that okay that I ask how that went down?
Yeah, sure. You know,
I don't talk much about my love life, really, but
I don't mind talking about it here.
Uh, I first saw him in the makeup room
and I had my dog Lola, and he's like, "What's your dog's name?"
I'm like, "Lola." He's like...
"Oh, is that a boy or a girl?"
I go, "Lola."
He was so nervous.
He was so nervous and then on set, he was like
my last scene of the day, I was so tired.
And literally, he just made me laugh the entire time.
And I was like,
"Wait, you're fine and you're funny?"
Okay, and I actually gave him my number.
-You made the move? -I did.
I was like, "So if you guys all go out,
you know, just call me."
And his friend had to say, "Yo, she likes you."
He's like, "Who?
She... her?" And I'm like,
"I like you."
[all laughing]
Oh, one more thing,
so, Nick and I, before anybody really knew,
we would, like, steal kisses in the dressing room.
You know, but sometimes a brown nose rubs off on a white nose.
[all laughing]
So he goes to set one day and Tyler's like,
"Who you been kissing?"
[audience laughing]
He goes, "What?" He's goes, "What? What are you talking about?"
He goes, "Tika?"
[Tika] And he goes, "Oh, my God!
Oh, my God!" Yeah. And then he was like...
Tyler's like, "Mmm-hmm. Okay."
-[Egypt] Oh, yeah. -Yeah.
You're not gonna get anything past T.P.
-[Tika] Right. -Okay. He knew it.
-He knew exactly who it was, too, right? -Exactly. Exactly.
There's someone in our audience, where's Monica?
She has a question about this, Monica?
Come on, stand up in your beautiful pink.
So, now that we know that you and Nick have something goin' on...
-Yeah. -...how did he feel with all the hot, sexy scenes
that you did throughout the season?
-[laughing] -What enquiring minds wanna know, Tika.
How did he feel about your hot, sexy scenes?
[Tika] Well, I'm like Candace was doing all this before you came on,
so she's gonna continue, but I think he,
you know, he's like an actor, he's like, "Look, that's what
you have to do." We're all friends,
and Nicks Sagar who plays Charles,
I call them my two Nicks, I'm like, "Aw, my Nick and my Nick.
All right, bye, my real Nick, I gotta go."
You know, I wish you guys could come to a scene where we do that stuff,
'cause it's awkward.
But, um, yeah. He was fine with it.
He's like, "You're an actor, that's what you have to do." So...
[Egypt] Yes, 'cause I always wondered, Renee, so, during the love scenes,
does it kinda continue after they say cut.
Well, it depends on who you have the love scenes with.
[all chuckling]
Because I can assure you,
when John seduced me I was like, "Are we done yet? Get off me."
I was done.
[Renee] It feels like kissing my brother.
But with Broderick, "Can we do another take?"
[all laughing]
[Renee] I was like, I don't think we got it on that take.
[audience laughs]
So, it depends.
And I am single, so you know what I'm saying?
[Egypt] Shoot your shot.
This is fake, baby. This is fake.
So what was it like for some of the rest of you to do those
over-the-top sexy love scenes?
[Crystal] Well, the before the pros get to it,
I have to say I was a nervous wreck.
Oh, my God!
Before the pros get... [laughing]
Y'all have, y'all have so many scenes like that,
and I feel like I had one, and it was so uncomfortable.
I am not shy about a lotta things, but when it came to the kissin' stuff
I was like... [laughs nervously]
I was a hot mess about it.
You know, I think that when I had scenes with the little baby.
She ain't talking about me.
There ain't no babies over here, ain't talking about me.
[all laughing]
But let me tell you why that is exactly true.
Because when Benny and I got together at first, I thought,
"Okay, oh, my God!" You know.
Hope he doesn't feel like he's kissin' his mama.
You know, I just... You know, so we gotta...
We gotta work that out. But immediately
He was so gracious, and immediately, he was like, "Are you okay?"
At the end of every take, "Are you okay?" And I would...
-And what'd you say? "Yes, I am okay. I am..." -[audience laughs, applauds]
Yes, but I was... I was very moved by his generosity.
-Mmm-hmm. -[Tyler] Because it can be very awkward.
You know, you show up, these booms in your face, and, you know...
someone's directing you-- Tyler's directing you in your ear, and
-there's 30 people on set. -You have on the lingerie. [laughs]
You know, I got a little, they call it a Houdini, on.
-You know what I mean? -[all laughing]
'Cause I'd be, you know, fully nude. You just got the, you know...
Are you? Oh, wow. Tyler, I always wondered that.
So, you guys are doing the love scenes, and to us, it looks like you're nude,
but I thought maybe you guys had, like, a nude body suit on or something?
Yeah, well, they call it a Houdini.
-[others laugh] -Bottom line, you know, you put your junk in there and
you're pretty much naked though. You're pretty much naked. Yeah.
[woman laughs]
You know, you guys are all talking about it.
I'm still waiting for Tyler to write mine.
-[all laughing] -I mean, I'm like...
Wait, you walked down a staircase in Season 1 half-naked.
-That's true. -And I had to play his momma.
-And I'm going... -[audience laughs, applauds]
"Oh, I'm the mother. I'm sorry, I'm sorry." [laughs]
