* I want to clarify two points I made here before they're misunderstood as I don't think I articulated them well - when I say both women (Bri & Grace) felt like the other was being selfish and listed why Grace was "selfish" - that was me listing Bri's reasons, those are not my personal beliefs. Also want to clarify that I do believe Grace deserves the "pedestal", I was just trying to explain why Bri might feel like they are always pitted against each other by their audience ok bye lmao!! *
