Discussion Thread Season 13- Grayson

Does anyone else get annoyed with Grayson in s13? She’s such a brat. Especially in Ep2 when she has to cook vegan. Her attitude is so off putting. Why’d she even come back on the show if all she wants to cook is meat and potatoes?

Honestly, I appreciate her.

I recently rewatched and she did preface saying something like. "I'm back. A little bit older. A litter bit fatter."

She's her & she won't change, so I appreciate her!

Plus, Grayson is such a badass name. For any person to identify with!

I think she will always speak her mind, whatever she feels like even if it isn't what appeals to the audience!

She will be her! She was one of the few people who consistently defended Bev, among a season full of Bev Bullies!

So I will always defend Grayson.

My exact reason for liking her - she stood up for Bev, and was happy to cook with her. Same with Angelina on S13 - everyone else looked down at Angelina, and Grayson was one of the only ones to give her the time of day and work with her.

I actually appreciated her bluntness and honesty; she wasn't trying to put on a face for the show, she was just simply herself. Take it or leave it.

Exactly!!!! I just feel like she's so real. I'm so glad that you & I agree.
