She knows damn well that Toms playing her for a fool, but she’ll let herself be made a fool just to keep the attention and the few perks that the series can give/ get her. She cut Tom up pretty good in her talking head after she met him. Her disappointment in his looks and physique were made clear, but she was willing to overlook them in her never ending quest for her personal Holy Grail, an engagement ring and marriage. i might find a bit of sympathy for her, if I thought she ever gave a bit of thought to the embarrassment she’s dumped on her girls.
