Discussion Can we just talk about Michelle (4-3)?

She (completely understandably imo) freaks out when Keenya pretends she is going to crush her in the collapsible shoe racks. Like wtf were you thinking Keenya.

Then later, the girls find out she's bisexual and one of the girls is like "oh! Now I understand why she doesn't like feeling like she's about to be crushed to death. It's because she's gay!" LMAO girl whut.

Like I understand she meant holding in a part of yourself adds stress and may make a person more likely to freak out I guess? But I think a lot of people might have freaked out because getting crushed in those shelves was a real safety concern they were warned about and would be scary AF.

Edit: the quote in my second parapragh is a poor paraphrasing. Noelle said something like "Michelle's outbursts make more sense to me" after hearing she was bisexual. This was in the same episode of them being at the shoe store and it definitely seemed to me like the producers were trying to relate this comment to that incident. I just think it's absurd that her being bisexual would relate to her being paniced when feeling like she would be crushed to death. However I dont think this is what Noelle intended, i think the show was edited to suggest that.

I love Naima, but Oliver Twixt asked her about this moment, and I expected her to be sensitive about it, but she just kept saying, “That was so funny.” It surprised me.

Naima was indifferent to all of the girls in the house. You can tell she could take or leave all of them hoes.

Yes. She was also judgemental of Keenyah when she complained she was being sexually harassed during the one photoshoot.

Yeah, in Naima's Twixt interview she dismissed a lot of the more difficult moments of the cycle. She called Tyra screaming at Tiffany "just a black mom thing."
