Just when you thought reality TV couldn’t get any more dramatic, Baddies Midwest serves up another helping of chaos that would make even the Real Housewives blush. The Zeus Network’s hit show, now in its sixth season, continues its tradition of bringing together strong-willed women with a penchant for violence under one roof – because what could possibly go wrong?
In Episode 5 of Baddies Midwest, viewers witnessed yet another explosive confrontation between newcomers Ivori and Big Lex, marking their third dustup this season (at this point, they might as well start a fight club).
The tension between these two had been simmering since early episodes, with Ivori calling out cast members for playing it “safe” – apparently, in the Baddies universe, maintaining peace is a cardinal sin. Meanwhile, Big Lex has been establishing herself as someone who doesn’t start fights but certainly knows how to finish them, a claim she’s had plenty of opportunities to prove this season.
What is the beef between Ivori and Big Lex in Baddies Midwest?
Like any good reality show beef, the Ivori-Big Lex saga didn’t materialize out of thin air. It all started with a classic case of “who’s-really-about-that-life” when Ivori called out Big Lex for staying neutral during earlier conflicts. In the world of Baddies, neutrality is apparently more offensive than throwing hands.
The situation escalated when Pretty P, playing the role of Ivori’s impromptu tag team partner, took a swing at Big Lex during a particularly tense Sprinter van ride – because nothing says “let’s resolve our differences” quite like throwing hands in a moving vehicle.
Episode 5 of Baddies Midwest brought us the latest chapter in this ongoing saga, and oh boy, did it deliver. Just as Big Lex was wrapping up a separate altercation with Jela (because, apparently, one fight per episode isn’t enough), Ivori saw her moment to shine.
In what could only be described as a reality TV version of a WWE run-in, Ivori attempted to blindside Big Lex – emphasis on “attempted.” The surprise attack went about as well as trying to sneak up on someone in squeaky shoes, with Big Lex once again emerging victorious.
As with any good reality TV moment, social media had a field day with the altercation. Fans were quick to point out that Ivori’s sneak attack strategy was giving more “cartoon villain” than “baddie energy.”
Meanwhile, Big Lex’s supporters celebrated her hat-trick of victories, suggesting she might want to consider a career in professional boxing – or at least start charging Ivori rent for all the space she’s taking up in her head.
What does this entail for the future of Baddies Midwest?
Season 6 has proven that adding new cast members to an established show is like throwing cats into a washing machine – chaotic, loud, and somebody’s probably going to get scratched. The Ivori-Big Lex rivalry has become one of the season’s central storylines, providing enough drama to fuel a small soap opera.
Between the tension-filled house dynamics and the explosive van rides, Baddies Midwest has maintained its reputation as the go-to show for those who think regular reality TV isn’t quite dramatic enough.
As the season continues, one thing’s certain: in a house full of self-proclaimed baddies, peace is never an option. Whether you’re Team Ivori, Team Big Lex, or Team “Why Can’t We All Just Get Along,” there’s no denying that these women are giving Zeus Network exactly what they signed up for with this season of Baddies Midwest – pure, unfiltered chaos with a side of entertainment.
New episodes of Baddies Midwest Season 6 air every Monday on Zeus Network.
