After holding it in for a decade, she told him about the hell she’d lived in for the past ten years, since she'd gotten married at age nineteen. She talked about the affairs she’d…

I didn’t have to try out, the coach just saw me play and asked me to join the team. After a few months of playing with Ballard, I became very committed and grew very close to my teammates.

Everyone feels she’s going to be a paranoid mess and it reminds them of her sister Vanessa. No one is loyal to her in this game and she’s an easy scapegoat to leave this week. Her closes allies were Michelle, Paulie and Da’vonnne who all played a direct role in her undoing this week. 12. Bronte D’Acquisto – If the vote flips, then she…
