Hi Friends. You know what time it is! It's time for Besting Each Other with Alesha Reneé and Serita Wesley. Serita met Alesha through a friend and a plethora of people at BET. Alesha's favorite memory of traveling is when Serita came out to Los Angeles to just hang out while Alesha went to auditions. Serita’s favorite thing about Alesha is her southern charm. Alesha loves that Serita never gives up on love and knows that “real” always seems to find her. Serita thinks Alesha talks too much while Alesha thinks Serita can be a “Debbie Downer.”  They both think they would be better at Survivor than the other but they also agree that Alesha is more outdoorsy. 20 years from now, Alesha wants them to be loved, healthier and whole like we’ve never seen. Meanwhile, Serita hopes they are rich, content, comfortable and have great butts!  Together they created the Audible podcast series Unleash for Love.

Hi besties! Sasheer took an epigenetics test and got back a list of foods she is intolerant of. Included on that list are peanuts and gluten. Nicole, while on her own Jello journey, invites Sasheer to join her due to Jello being gluten-free! While Nicole supports Sasheer on this gluten-free journey, she NEVER wants to know what she is intolerant of. Meanwhile, it’s another episode of Besting Each Other! Nicole and Sasheer are joined by best friends Franchesca Ramsey (Superstore) and De’Lon Grant (Jersey Boys). Together, they share their first major vacation together in Mexico, where resort photos proved to be untrue and the conditions unreal. Both friends agree that Franchesca would do better at Survivor due to her ability to complete puzzles and jump over things.
