I do think Micheal was clear. But he could have been more clear.
In my opinion he was trying to be nice because of the kick off. Amber and the girls turned it into more.
When Joanna asked her if he made it clear it was done, Amber refused to answer. She said 'Everyone who saw it didnt think that, did you think it looked like that?'.
She couldnt answer the question on based on what was said. Only on what it looked like to everyone else.
If he had been a bit more brutal, he would have be wrong as well.
He did say he wanted to be her friend and she they couldnt be friends and she did say it in response to him saying he still wanted to be her friend.
I would hate to be Joanna, having to to do that to make it clear it was done though.
I do think the girls reading too much into the chat as egged Amber on to thinking there is still a chance.
