WGTG! is a biweekly newsletter covering all things Bravo TV and pop culture news, written by Marni Eth, and Kate & Lex from @Bravobetch

Season 14 of The Real Housewives of New York City has been a breath of fresh air, and we chatted with breakout star Brynn Whitfield, who is fresh off filming her first reunion. When asked if she could spill any goss on how it went she said “I can say everyone cried lol… alot” – read on below to see what else she divulged!

What is the last podcast you listened to or last book you read?

Brynn Whitfield: Last podcast: Oprah SuperSoul, I listen to SuperSoul every week, Oprah is my religion. Last book: Lessons in Chemistry; it's a cute and quirky read.

Which cast mate did you text most recently?

Today I've texted Jenna and Jessel.

What is the last “fun” purchase you made?

I bought a blue wooden coaster holder that's carved to look like an old rotary phone. I got it from a tiny art shop in old town Paros, Greece. It was so cute & silly; I had no clue how I would get it to fit in my suitcase because I carried on. (Travel tip! Try to never check a bag, if possible.) When I saw it, it made me laugh, I love rotary phones. I said to my friend "this is so dumb. I'm going to get it." Et voilà.

What is the last thing you ate?

Betty Crocker ready to use chocolate frosting. I had a weird craving for the boxed cake my grandma used to make me as a kid- yellow cake with chocolate icing. I found the items at a grocery store in London, but I forgot to buy eggs. I couldn't make the cake, so I just opened the chocolate frosting and had a few scoops.

What is the last cocktail you had?

Glass of white wine, yesterday afternoon at Selfridges. It's important to stay hydrated while shopping.

Who is your most long standing celeb crush?

Hmmm. I'd say Paul Rudd, Larry David, Henry Cavill, Giselle Bundchen, Iris Elba, Tom Hiddleston, Magnus Carlsen and Pedro Pascal! I was a huge Game of Thrones fan :)

Last but not least, is there anything you want to shout out?

I wish that everyone would consider being a living donor, because you can save the life of someone special, like my dear high school classmate, Nga Le Hershberger. Nga is an amazing wife and mother of three, with late stage kidney failure who's been on transplant lists in the Midwest for more than three years.

Here's a link to learn more about Nga and all the ways to help, including registering to become a living donor.
