Why does Meredith continue on the show?

I am looking for any theories as to why Meredith Marks continues to accept a snowflake year after year. I am genuinely asking. I cannot figure it out.

Meredith is not one of the HW who needs the paycheck. She doesn’t seem to actually enjoy any aspect of filming or community with the women on the show. She on dozens of occasions has outright refused to share aspects of her personal life. And by the looks of it, she has a crash out at the reunion.

Does Meredith actually just like the attention and Bravo allows her to give us the bare minimum? Is the trade off worth it for her?

I really want to know this! 😩
