Justin and his massive face make me think of the Macys Thanksgiving Day parade blow up characters. He’s got these tiny little beady eyes and features with an odd upturned nose surrounded by a massive doughy face.

Ha!  It is a weird doughy face.  He also looks like such a dork with the Gucci sweaters, and the hoodies and ball caps.  He is trying so hard to look hip and young.  I’m sure Whitney dresses him, she is making him look foolish.

This is who Justin always reminds me of.  If you don't know - he was called "Tubby" 😃

I still think he looks like a Care Bear

Close. But the dimples are all Cabbage Patch!

Now I'm wondering if despite the not so great beginning of his relationship with Whitney, the massive age gap, MLM work, the raunchy scene he and Whitney filmed I can't unsee, Justin reminds me too much of characters I find adorable to get the full ick I should feel.

Not true. Atlanta had many couples trips and none of the women who were single during those seasons were excluded.

There's other ways to exclude people. Even if Bronwyn had invited Heather, she would've been the 5th wheel, especially since it looks like the play couples games on this trip. Like I said, this isn't The Real Couples of SLC.

She still would have been on the trip though.

If anything she could be the designated scorekeeper, which would have included her in the events, and given her something to do besides being the official bone collector.

Like I said, other shows have done it and managed OK.

Haha I think you're right! 😂

I completely agree.  And, if its her "thing" to pick up her hubby in crazy costumes, I wouldn't be surprised if she wanted it filmed/documented.  She may have recreated a look or two for the show, but I believe the others were authentic.  

Heather is definitely rubbing me the wrong way this season.  I think Bronwyn offering an olive branch so she could invite Heather on the trip was the right way to go, though it wasn't successful due to Heather's defensiveness and unwillingness to meet her halfway. Many of the Housewives invite their feuding frenemies on cast trips without trying to resolve issues first- how uncomfortable!  Bronwyn seems like the type of person who wants to lay everything out on the table and work through it.

Exactly! And I find her very refreshing. The only thing is that coming on a show like this and thinking that you will be able to outsmart the running recipe of mayhem and chaos usually bites them in the butt. I am absolutely rooting for Bronwyn and thinks she's got a good shot at being the first to actually succeed being that she seems to be able to keep a cool head for the most part while she's in the middle of these ridiculous "moments" the others are completely desensitized to. Heathers awkward distain and haughty distress over the idea that a person would handle a housewife conflict with such straightforward maturity was very fascinating to watch. She was practically sputtering in disbelief at the novel concept of actually talking things out and resolving a conflict in such manner. 

You could practically read it all over Heathers face that she resented the idea that they smooth things over before the trip and thus denying her the opportunity to have their inappropriately timed outburst moment during the trip. The funny thing is (and this goes back to the idea that any housewife can sidestep these imposed "real" moments on the show) is that there still was the tacky and inappropriate moment because LISA brought it to the episode by facetiming Heather. They really DO NOT allow for any semblance of smooth sailing when it comes to these trips.  It is not allowed and Bronwynn found out the hard way.

You can totally see that Bronwynn fancies herself capable of out witting the machine and she most likely promised, promised, promised Todd that she would be clever enough to avoid the typical circus of embarrassing outbursts and arguments over the course of filming. There was something in Todds tone that leads me to believe that he hesitantly agreed to her appearing on the show with the condition that she had better make sure things don't spill over and interfere with real life functions and routines and most of all his peace.
