In the mix of the mixed flavors featuring brownsugar as Shay and french vanilla as Liz they decided to attend the fashion show where Prince the promoter was featuring his new clothing line called Royalty.

She questioned Natalie on why she chose her thinking she was her friend but Natalie who too blind by Johnny's lust. Unfortunately, Melissa defeated Alicia who really didn't seem to be upset that she was leaving. Alicia was the second female eliminated from the game. Now she can be with her boo Cory. Bye Alicia!

Jaclin of 60 Days In

There's nothing wrong with avoiding doing the wrong thing but when you begin to become combative with your superiors things can turn bad real quick. Jaclin who lost a child almost didn't make it past day one but she managed to stick it through this fr. Stephanie who is also in the program has been acting more like an inmate than participant. She the alcoholic beverage made up of different prescription drugs and fruity liquids. She also got into the selling prescription drugs for one of the inmates. Jaclin is dong the right thing by not partaking in any drug substances but that doesn't mean she can do whatever she wants. First she dyed items of hers including a scarf and the inmates in her dom with pink koolaid. She was told it was considered contraband and to take it off. Jaclin felt the officer was being racist because she was the only one who had to turn in her pink item. As if that wasn't enough when an officer ordered Jaclin to take items off the wall in the dorm she was talking back and then ordered to leave the dorm. Of course, there's nothing wrong with defending yourself but there are rules and Jaclin must understand she is in jail and there's no place like home.

The Rap Game Cast

This week's challenge was all about star power. Congrats to Jordan for making the number one spot two weeks in a row. Street Bud did his thang he had the most creative star power playing the guitar. Ricci Bitti could have ranked at  higher number had she rapped about her real life instead of a fantasy world. Rapunzel did a good job as well but Jordan did the best. Bri who was certain she came in at number one was the star of the bars. She has the best lyrical flow of the group but her only problem is looking down when she raps. During the video challenge with Keke Palmer she was all good using the skills she had learned in previous weeks to her advantage. Next time she does a video the best advice her manager can give her is to Keep Your Head Up.

This season on Married to Medicine Dr. Heavenly and her husband agreed to host this year's couple's trip. During the trip emotions ran high when deep issues involving the couples were brought up. Quad let it be known that she and her husband Greg is not in a good place while Toya made sure she made it known her husband masturbates more than he has sex with her. At any rate while they were getting along for the most part Toya decided to put Curtis to the test. Now it's bad enough he was even on the trip after what he did to Dr. Jackie but Dr. Simone felt she should be there. While the couples were ready to sit down and talk Toya attempted to sit on Curtis lap and he didn't refuse. His biggest mistake was welcoming her into his lap and Toya's mistake was initiating it in the first place. In this case they were both wrong. In some cases you should know your place!
