I’ve been watching the Mary and Brandon saga unfold this season. Mary is one of my least favorite people on this show ever and is truly evil in my opinion. She’s smart which makes her behavior all the worse. She’s told a few lies along the way which we know about like disconnecting her wifi. When Brandon first started talking about Mary he told us she had a college scholarship to be on the dance team and gave it up. Fast forward a few episodes and Brandon and Mary are talking about asking her grandparents for money. Mary says something along the lines of her grandfather paid for her college. Brandon corrects her and says she had a dance scholarship. Which got me thinking and I honestly think the dance team and college weren’t real. It wouldn’t surprise me if she made it up to sound more appealing to Brandon or even worse guilt him later by saying she gave up college for him. The second option is truly manipulative and I wouldnt put it past her. I’m curious what others think

    This is one couple from the show where I really suspect Mary conned Branden. She fed him her sob story, or heard his first, then shared her story and saw an opportunity to have a better life or she thought it would be.

    I think she’s been so freaked out about him cheating because she’s been doing all the cheating and also losing him meant possibly losing income from him. Think about it. Why did he think it would be a good idea to send her money to build a house even before they got married unless she suggested it? She pointed out her grandparent’s house was destroyed and now they’re living with them and they’re never going to leave.

    Branden won’t have a claim to the house. He’s a foreigner who probably didn’t even bother understanding laws pertaining to ownership by a foreigner in that country, so she will get to keep it if they end up breaking up.

    He’s no angel and I think they have both seen how lucrative it can be to beg viewers online for money because there are foolish people sending them money.

    Her crying is a set up, and a way to avoid being honest. I can’t stand her or him but especially her.

      I think Mary had successfully brainwashed him that he will live a better life in the Philippines and that will be ‘‘their’’ home. Hence why he felt like he didn’t need to worry about looking into the laws of ownership.

      It’s crazy huh

        She prob made a slide show of Rose and her success on the show and sold him that idea. I think with Rose she was genuinely who she was and she capitalized on the humour of her and Ed and that’s why Rose is so successful in her YouTube channel and other business ventures.

        Mary was hoping this was going to happen for her and now she’s throwing fits online. She thinks she is deserving of a certain life when she has not worked for it.
