I do not believe this for the simple reason that there's no way Brandi is a good enough actress to cry on command like that. Also, during the after show, Brandi and Jeff talked things through and eventually made up. If it were a prank, what the hell was the point of that?

Brandi's whole schtick on the show is to be the no-holds-barred, hot firecracker who drinks wine like it's water and never stops talking about her cheating ex-husband. She is that friend who you love going out with, but know there's a 50/50 chance she'll end the night crying on the street, shoeless, so you sort of just have to take the chance.

Brandi seems very aware that she needs to play this role in order to stay on the show, largely because she doesn't have money and opulent lifestyles that the rest of the women have. I understand that and, let's be real, homegirl's gotta pay the bills, but at what point is looking like an unhinged, fillers-addicted Barbie kinda not worth it? Brandi, for better or worse, has yet to find that tipping point.
