I had slightly different takes on both Mama D and Brandi.
With Brandi, she'd expressed her discomfort with the Shaman before it happened, and kept her mouth closed. When it came up with Mama D, I think she saw her opportunity to express her discomfort, and started doing so timidly to Mama D. When D'andra started pushing back more aggressively, she got preachy. I think that if D'Andra had not pushed back, it would have blown over quickly. I disagree with what Brandi was saying, and she came across to me as a person who goes to church every week, accepts what the preacher says and repeats it obediently. But I don't think she would have really gone after D'Andra had D'Andra just let it slide.
With Mama D going there - she didn't until D'Andra pulled her into it. Someone else asked why she changed her last name and she demanded her mom tell the story - and she decided not to lie. I think it's quite clear Mama D doesn't care for it when D'Andra gets into that state, and she slapped back.
D'Andra's demanding ways are not winning her allies.

I guess they worked through, as she's had another child since then..

And supposedly Stephanie’s husband Travis was on a double date with Brandi’s husband and two random blonde women that weren’t their wives. I do wonder if the blind item is true about the affair..and adopting the baby, Bruin, because it’s his biological child..

Oh wait a sec...I missed that tid bit! I heard the rumor that he might have another child but NOT that it could be Bruin!?! I don't think that's true. That would take a lot of talking to Jesus for Brandi to be ok with that one! My goodness. I don't know if I could do that.
Plus wasn't there a storyline a little while ago where they were maybe going to adopt Bruin's brother or something?

I hope they are just rumors about the child. Regardless,that kid is loved and that all that matters.

I kept looking at the darn visors and no masks.they distract me. So when Tiffany throws an Hawaiian themed party, the leis are flown in from there..wow. Her mother didn't seem so terrible, I find it a bit cringey when they speak about their mothers. Kam has never seen a bill..oh what different lives we lead.lol.

I heard Amy Phillips make the comment recently that by filming in a pandemic, we're really seeing who the interesting women are who can hold their own, and who are the ones that struggle if there isn't a storyline. I thik D'Andra is one who struggles. She's working entirely too hard to make this storyline about wanting to reconcile with her brother work, and I don't find it compelling. I find it forced. In all the seasons she's been on we have not hear about him, an suddenly it' the obsession of her life? Her conversation with her mom last night was entirely too forced with her practically narrating - "Remember a few episodes ago when I reached out to my brother and he didn't respond because no sane person carries out family drama in front of cameras? Well I"m keeping it going by talking about my last name". To quote mama D, I just don't give a rip!

It was nice seeing D'Andra and her mom make up. They both need to see a therapist together, IMO. They have a very strained and complicated relationship. I'm also glad D'Andra put Brandi in her place. Brandi was wrong, period.

I'm kinda over Brandi to be honest. She cannot be mad at D'Andra. It's not like she said anything negative about her. I can understand why D'Andra is angry.

I am as well, her bus drivers outfit was silly. Does Kary always need so much booze she acts like she's still in college with her jello shots, her daughter seemed more grown up..

Brandi is having a really rough season. She definitely isn't the same "carefree, fun Brandi."

Brandi is having a really rough season. She definitely isn't the same "carefree, fun Brandi." She was pregnant so I can giver her a pass on this season. A few weeks ago on their podcast, Stephanie said they seldom see or speak to the other cast members once filming has wrapped up. Brandi & Stephanie said they really only see each other after the reunion.

Broken Bow is a popular get away for people from Dallas that want to get away and enjoy some nature because Dallas is basically a concrete jungle. I’ve been there three times and we camped each time, outdoors of course. I’ve been on a raft on that river with other people and flipped over..kinda scary if you can’t swim like me. Those cabins range from small to really big. That one the ladies stayed at was medium sized. Cool place!
Kary was way out of line! She is downright a mean drunk! I’m glad she seemed genuinely sorry in regards to hurting Stephanie’s feelings. I am with Steph...Kary needs to apologize to that guy. You can disagree with someone and still remain respectful. Maybe she needs to lay off the booze...

I liked Broken Bow, Tiffany and her huge umbrella hat made me laugh..

It still really bothers me that what finally to Kary was that Stephanie was upset - she never ever acknowledged that what she said and did to the Big Foot hunter was incredibly cruel and disrespectful. We all encounter people who live lives we don't agree with - nothing makes any of us so important that we can do anything we want to "correct" that behavior.

When Tiffany pulled out the bigger umbrella hat I laughed out loud, lol!
Also with Kary...I find it amusing that she has a problem with hunting but eats meat.
D'Andra thinking she could drive the RV was hilarious...she was a way worse driver than Brandi!

My DH is an avid deer hunter and every time he gets criticism from someone for killing "Bambi" he says that unless they are vegetarian, they need to do some research on how the steak or chicken they had for dinner lived and died.

I personally don't have an issue with hunters...unless they are hunting just to boast they killed an exotic animal. I dated a man in the past who was a Minnesota native who loved to hunt deer. When he got lucky he would kill it and bring back the meat from MN to TX. Soooo good! We made chili, jerky and venison steaks. Yum yum...
I appreciate when the hunter actually eats the animal they killed.

She scoffed hot dogs like it was her last meal, I'm doubtful she has any problems with hunters at all. D'andra was a terrible driver, but, I do like her more this season.

A lot of the anti hunting folks seem to think that the cows, chickens, and pigs died of natural causes surrounded by loved ones before showing up on their plate.

I see it as innocent decisions with an inflamatory headline.
Bravo has been doing the reunions in New York for a while now. For that to happen, the cast members have to fly there. I haven't heard much if any chatter about the wisdom of doing that - including a lack of questions about why Andy doesn't just fly to the location of the cast and hire a local film crew to minimize number of people travelling. There likely have not been a lot of questions because of the lack of spread traced back to airplanes.
Brandi likely brought the baby because she's probably still nursing. Some women prepare for travel with a newborn by stockpiling milk and pumping. Others won't leave their baby during that time. Both are legit.
For any production being filmed, there are multiple tests. The women were likely tested before traveling and again when they arrived prior to filming.
Hindsight is 20/20 - but they didn't have hindsight when all of this happening.

I still think it's careless. In fact I have felt Bravo has been quite careless this entire time.

Maybe it's just me but I wouldn't be bringing my newborn baby on a plane during covid....heck I haven't been on a plane during covid.
