When Brandan’s mum sat down beside her, Mary scooched away a little bit. If I had to guess Mary is not a “hugger”. She seems like the type that is super clingy with Brandan and repulsed by everyone else. maybe Brandan’s mum was just reading her body language
I’m not sure how it works when they are filming abroad. But in the USA if Yohan doesn’t have his green card he can’t get paid by TLC. The money goes to the American cast member
TLC is also notoriously shady with payments and contracts (read Jill Duggar’s book for more info on that).
I’d imagine TLC is fucking someone over before I would imagine them being fair tbh lol
