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

    I got curious after I read your comment and found the uni she went to as well, lol. I grew up a few hours from where she lives so I figured it might have been a uni I know. It turns out they do actually have a Dance Troupe. Whether she was on it or not, I can’t confirm but it’s plausible.

    They also have a few scholarship programs, but I don’t think they have one specifically for the Dance Troupe. It’s not entirely impossible that she got a partial scholarship or a grant (definitely not a full scholarship though) because they have a number of programs, but I agree with what you’re saying. Just seems more like manipulating/stretching the truth rather than a complete lie to me.

        I know, I’m from there. I grew up not that far from where they live. Just saying that although it’s unlikely, it’s not impossible that she got it for other reasons, just not for dance.

          But hey we know Mary, whatever that comes out from her mouth isn’t necessarily the truth. She can’t translate lolo’s words to Brandan. Or maybe that’s TLC editing…
