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 thought this was for sure where the storyline was going. They borrowed money (from who I don’t know) to build and set up a shop, saw them in there once, then she’s buying and selling mobile phones (but not in the shop 🤷🏻‍♀️) but still complaining they can’t make money. Then with the baby and his mum is suddenly great I thought for sure going to the US is the next move, maybe he genuinely can’t afford to apply for that visa but it could be the story for next season with some TLC money.

      Someone shared that he’d need to make at least $20k/year if he was just sponsoring her. Not sure how much he’d have to make to sponsor her and the baby. I’m sure he could do it considering that OR has better safety nets and pay scales than other states. However, I think it’d require him leaving and getting established here. Who knows how nutty Mary would go over “being abandoned” by him if that’s what they did.

        Mary wouldn’t let him go. The fact that he can’t even sit next to a girl or interact, I don’t know how he would be able to work…

        It’s quite strange that Mary uses reverse psychology asking him to go or leave to get him to stay. Hella manipulative.
