I doubt it, as well. She was screaming at Mary's party after her husband admonished her for screaming in Palm Springs. Todd might not film too much though, if she is invited for a second season.

Watched Daily Dose of Dana last night. She spoke to a producer and the cast never buy the plane tickets. I guess it is some liability.  Bronwyn did apparently upgrade she and Todd. Dana opined that they may not have known they were going to film the return trip so they only got the private plane for the trip there to show off.  Show off!  You got it, flaunt it. Bronwyn also was wanting on the show as far back as 2020 so she has watched from the beginning. Studying etc.

I watched this ep last night.  I don't know wtf happened with Mary, but I am really enjoying her. Meredith and those bangs!  Was she high as a kite and just plopped them there?  I find her irrelevant.  I am liking Angie this season.  The scene with her dad was sad.  He seems like a nice man.  Side note, I love her daughters name.  Britni, woah. Thirsty as hell, irritates me, is weird, tragic plastic surgery. I think I spelled her name wrong, but I am guessing she is one and done so meh, it is fine.  Whitney, who I normally don't enjoy, had me cracking up with her Meredith impressions.  Pretty good!  Lisa is someone who really is HW material.  Cannot read a room, loud, questionable wealth, kinda dumb. Heather needs to go. Her personality left with her excess weight. She thinks she is head bitch in charge but nah.  No storyline, mean, giant ego. We saw the show is just fine without her in Palm Springs. I would like them to bring back Monica.  Give her an actual reason to be nasty. 

People we don't need to see:  husbands

I believe she is still married. She did have a first marriage that ended in divorce, but that was a long time ago.

Britani was married from 2016 to 2023 (second marriage). The ex spouses are suing each other now. 

Those comments about the marriage were actually made in reference to Mary, not Britani.

Calling someone out or bluntly addressing someone doesn't always have to have some sort of problematic connotation attached to it.

I am stuck on her stating that he does not allow her to show emotion off camera  within their private life as well. 

They are free to live their live as they choose and under any type of arrangement which suits them.  At the same time others are free to recognize that the situation appears problematic both off camera as well as on.

I liked Bronwyn at first but her high end lifestyle comes with a hefty price tag. Who cares if you have a jeweler on speed dial or a credit card to upgrade to first class if you’re not allowed to be yourself?

So Bronwyn is a fake. It wasn't her GD credit card that bought the return tickets.

I think it was her credit card that upgraded them.  I generally don't like it when some HWs treat themselves better than their guests, but I will give her a pass since it was their anniversary.  It would be interesting to know how much of a cast trip is provided by the HW and how much by Bravo.

[Palimelon]

I remember on Potomac on one cast trip to Europe, two of the HWs on that flight upgraded themselves to First Class from Business Class, which the other HWs were not happy about.

Right, Bravo provided the airfare but it was Bronwyn's GD credit card that upgraded the tickets to first class.

It sounded like Heather was implying Bronwyn should have upgraded everyone.  That isn't how this works Heather.

[65mickey]

I don't think that is what Heather implied. She thought that Bronwyn bought all of the tickets and just bought first class for her and her husband. It seems like Bronwyn didn't buy any of the tickets but upgraded hers. I guess she. didn't want to  own up to that.

Interesting perspective because my perspective is just about opposite of yours (and I'm not trying to argue).  

I've never warmed up to Angie so her crying left me cold--and I can cry at McDonald's commercials--I just thought she should have gone to therapy before emoting all over the place about how her mother drank herself to death.  Wonder what her sibs think about it and wonder why she drinks as an adult.  Just an observation.

I'm liking seeing but not hearing from or about Whitney.  Not sure what the whole grabbing the phone thing was about but I don't think I'd like somebody grabbing my phone either.

I've liked Heather and still do.  I would not have opened the lunch with bringing up the trip but It was rude of Bronwyn to exclude her.  To be honest, I haven't watched this closely enough to know or remember what Bronwyn needed to hear from Heather in order for her to be included in the trip but c'mon.  Since I question Bronwyn's taste, I naturally question her judgement.

And I don't know what is wrong with me but did Mary seem like the voice of reason this episode?

I remember when Heather began in season one I found her witty and candid. I actually said out loud that she was my favorite housewife of all time. Although she’s lived a life far different from my own she seemed relatable. As the seasons have progressed she became vile, full of uncomfortable looking fillers, & spewing popular girl vitriol. To watch her “refuse to give her birthday” is ridiculous. She was in high school when Angie was, so within a year or two of Ang, and there’s her age. She really wanted to alpha Bronwyn. Heather may be loquacious but that’s all it is…fast talking deflecting BS. Bronwyn is the new generation and Heather is out of her mind watching it all evolve. As Bronwyn stated the facts and continued to invite Heather to try again and be friends, Madame Flowers was forced to back down. For now. 
The octopus on Meredith’s head needed to be thrown back into the ocean. 
Mary 2.0 is coming into her own. I loved her giving nitwit What About Meeeeeee the floor and actually letting everyone air out grievances. It went left when Meredith’s insistence of her continued innocence of using toddler Brooks as a shield after her thinly veiled threat of outing Angie’s huzzbin backfired. It’s been a moment since I’ve seen a more ungraceful yet entirely entertaining exit. 
Angie “I’m Greek” (said in WWC Ron’s stilting imitation) doubled down on outing the alcoholic mama! My goodness. She and Dorit must have gotten together & agreed to expose all the boozehounds in their lives.
