Show Notes
What's up Bros? Summer House is stellar this season. And Lexi is making a late push for MVP. In this episode, Lexi is fed up with the two sides of Jesse Solomon. After the ladies lay out the issues they've heard, they finally rally behind her. She calls out Jesse for everything that's been going on. At the same time, Jesse makes an offhand remark that leaves his relationship with Ciara strained. All in all it was a rough look for Jesse the entire episode, and his lack of self awareness is painful. Kyle and Amanda discuss having babies (or not having babies). Lexi makes a stance on dating Jesse saying that she is no longer into the idea... Carl confesses his crush on Ciara and she handles it amazingly well. Schwartz gives a warning to the crew to cherish what they had, as he lost his tv family to scandal... Will Jesse and Lexi make it through this? Or is she finally done with the B.S.
