What happened on episode 7 of The Valley?
Jesse asks his co-stars to choose between him and Kristen
Kristen and Jesse had what was probably the most notable fight on The Valley, during episode 6.

But Jax speculated that it was Michelle who was going to leave Jesse and not the other way around.

"We made a commitment to each other, and that’s a big deal for me".
Jesse opens up about his views on Michelle
Jesse got real in a confessional amidst rumors about Michelle wanting to leave him. He started by saying,
"She used to yell at me when we first started dating if I put my cell phone face down, and then all of a sudden, she starts putting her cell phone face down".
He also said that Michelle had a habit of always making a "Boomerang" to post on Instagram whenever they would go out for drinks, but she hadn't been taking those lately. As a reason, Michelle had told him that she just wanted to stay away from social media. Jesse didn't buy it saying:
"She never took a break from social media. Ever."
