As the first curveball, he announces that the 14 singles will be set up on surprise blind dates with other singles in addition to the ones on the show to test just how strong their budding connections are.

“This group is still coming with the baddies,” one of the contestants says after the twist is unveiled.

This season the contestants include Ace, 37, DaKiya, 39, Joi, 41, Precious, 34, Kina, 39, Sabrina, 36, Tiffani, 37, Clifton, 44, Demetrius, 42, Fernando, 34, Laverne, 44, Paul, 48, Tory, 39, and Wiley, 32.

Each week, the power shifts between the men and women as they decide who isn’t ready to love. By the end, the strongest couples will remain to decide if they are ready for relationships.

The show is executive produced by Will Packer, Will Packer Media and Lighthearted Entertainment.

Ready to Love premieres Friday, Jan. 28 at 8 p.m. ET. Watch the trailer below:
