In the latest episode of Baddies Midwest, Zeus Network answers the question, “What if we took drama and turned it up to eleven?” when the show delivered another helping of what it does best: confrontations that would make your average UFC fight look like a friendly handshake.
Episode 5, which aired on Sunday, November 24, saw the usually outspoken OG Jela face off against newcomer Big Lex in what can only be described as a clash of the titans – reality TV style. The Detroit villa, which has already witnessed enough drama this season to fill a Shakespeare anthology, became the stage for yet another showdown.
While the season has primarily featured newbies throwing hands, this episode proved that even the OGs aren’t above getting into the mix when their reputation is on the line. After all, in the world of Baddies Midwest, throwing shade is just foreplay for throwing hands.
What happened between Jela and Big Lex on this episode of Baddies Midwest?
Like any respectable reality TV beef, this confrontation started with the time-honored tradition of talking behind someone’s back. Big Lex, apparently feeling particularly chatty during a heart-to-heart with Emma, decided to share her thoughts about Jela – and “diplomatic” wouldn’t exactly describe her choice of words.
According to Big Lex, Jela was not only a perpetual bully throughout the seasons but also someone whose “speeches needed to go.” (Because heaven forbid someone attempt clear articulation in a reality show, right?)
Meanwhile, Jela wasn’t exactly sitting around braiding friendship bracelets. She had her own tea to spill, informing Akbar, Rollie, and Ivori about a late-night phone call where Big Lex allegedly bragged about fighting people smaller than her. Because nothing says “I’m a baddie” quite like flexing about your size advantages in fights.
In true Baddies Midwest fashion, this situation couldn’t be resolved with a simple conversation over tea and crumpets. After Jela shared her side of the story, the group decided to summon Big Lex – because as expected, they’re running a reality TV court now. When confronted, Big Lex maintained her position with all the subtlety of a brick through a window, stating she “just said what she said.”
Rollie, ever the helpful mediator, suggested they utilize the villa’s designated fighting room (because, of course, this house has a designated fighting room – it’s probably right next to the drama parlor). What followed was a flurry of punches that had security earning their paychecks as they eventually separated the two fighters.
What came next for the Baddies?
In a surprising twist that probably disappointed betting fans everywhere, the fight was declared a draw by both viewers and fellow cast member Rollie. It’s worth noting that in the world of Baddies Midwest, a draw is about as rare as a peaceful resolution to conflict.
As the dust settles and the ice packs come out, one thing remains clear: Baddies Midwest continues to deliver exactly what its viewers tune in for – unfiltered drama with a side of chaos. Whether you’re Team Jela or Team Big Lex, or if you’re just wondering why they even have a fighting room, there’s no denying that this show knows its brand and sticks to it with admirable dedication.
