"It's the women's second day in Greece, and the question on everyone's mind is whether or not Meredith will finally engage. Spoiler alert: she won't. At least not in the way they hope. Part of the reason her castmates are so hopeful of breaking down her brick wall is that they seem to have the show in mind. They know that, from a production standpoint, they have to fight this out for the cameras before they can move on."
"On the drive to that day's activities, that same attitude persists. She doesn't want to engage, saying that everyone is always policing how she speaks. "I'm apparently too educated and speak too eloquently," she says, which is an incredible takeaway to have when people don't like what you're saying. Heather starts to push back at this assertion and say her piece, during which Meredith - drum roll please - takes a phone call. I laughed out loud. It's her son call"
Meredith refuses to engage with cast drama during the Greece trip, declining to play into production-driven confrontations and instead opting out of televised feuds. Castmates expect a fight for the cameras but find her disengaged, which simultaneously frustrates them and creates compelling viewing. The group splits for activities, and Meredith spends time with Whitney, Heather, and Britani while others ride donkeys. Mary treats Meredith like a producer, asking rapid questions about plans. Meredith says she is tired of mean-girl behavior and objects to being policed for speaking eloquently. During an on-road exchange she takes a phone call from her son.
