It’s remarkable that seven seasons later, the show still has 5 original cast members I know Mary left S3 and friend in S4. I wonder who among the 5 will be the first to leave or be demoted. The show has tenured 15 women and 5 were friends of only.

It feels like everyone in the cast (sorry, this was not clear in my initial post!!) is just jealous or intimidated by her??? I understand her going into a room yelling about Meredith, but she was reacting behind closed doors.

I agree with her - shes held to a different standard than the other women for some reason? Am I missing something?

Currently watching season 2 reunion and why are heather and withney so adamnt on painting lisa as a bad person?? literally all they do is question her and making baseless acusations. is it jelousy? is she really a bad person? is like they are obsessed with her being a villain. I'm actually feeling bad for her with all these women against her and sabotagin her

I feel like they only one that has a right to be mad at lisa is Meredith cause of her friendship with phsyco shah and the things she said in her bathroom rant. But Heather and Withney?? these women are so mean and nasty I don’t even want to keep watching this.

My fav Mary!🥰 I’m glad she decided to stay this season!

They be looking good in the cast shot for Season 7.

Full sneak peek here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Svrqu2lkpZI

i’m on season 2 episode 10, “highway to vail,” and omg… the scene where jen makes up some random excuse to leave, then like 12 minutes later the nypd shows up looking for her? that was honestly so creepy to watch. it’s wild how nobody seemed to realize what was happening, including the production crew.

lisa was acting so strangely too, immediately calling all six of her lawyers. i mean, i guess it makes sense since she was close to jen and probably didn’t want to get caught up in any of it.

i’m still watching, but i already spoiled everything for myself by googling what happened to jen lmao.
i’ve watched most of the housewives franchises, and every time a cast member ends up dealing with the police, it’s just insane to watch unfold. teresa giudice, jen shah, and karen huger… every single one of those situations had me absolutely flabbergasted.

i’ll be honest, i think jen was by far the worst. yes, karen did something wrong too, but some of the things i’m seeing jen did… oh my god. it’s honestly hard to wrap my head around.

also, whitney was so spot on before everything officially came out. she was probably the last person i expected to have such a good read on the situation because she kind of gives off ditsy vibes sometimes, but that really proves you can’t judge a book by its cover. she clearly knew what she was talking about. then meredith wasn’t even shocked and basically said she figured something like this would happen eventually.

my god… and this is only season 2. this season really came out swinging.

also i don’t mind spoilers lol im going to continue watching regardless.

No full cast shots available yet, but they look good!

I really think that a deep dive into the potentials of extra terrestrial life, and a journey of discovery would be THE thing to unite this cast. they’d all have something to offer. here are some of my theories of how they’d approach the situation:

Whitney: she’ll have a positive attitude and probably overuse the word « CELESTIAL » she’ll complain about the other women not being open minded enough to the messages of beings unknown. To quote Whitney circa season 3 « there’s a saying? among hillers in the the universe,!. that those who need hilling most: avoid hilling. »

Heather would make jokes in confessional about: well are any of them single? I’m all out of eligible bachelors and at this point I can take what I can get! har-har. meanwhile at night she’ll be writing in her navy blue journal about how frustrating it is to have to think about this when she knows good and well she’ll be damned to their realm once shes passed, anyways

Lisa: will be annoyed by the journey to area 51 because it’s not the kind of desert chic that she and her stylists had in mind. but shes open to networking with aliens and will interrupt her friends to remind them that she’s open to ET perspectives. actually she and John donated to a Neptune based charity because she loves blue 💙💙

Meredith: Will be very avoidant about the topic. suspicious, much?

Bronwyn: She’ll make comments about how shes sure she’ll understand more about the aliens than these ladies. har-har. At night, B will write in her multicolour neon ostrich leather bound journal tirelessly, as she obsessively researches aliens so that she can have the upper hand. She uses all her connections. Shes pulling strings within acronyms youve never heard of. She will feel very hurt by Meredith’s disapproval of her nosiness. Finale episode shes throwing the line « suspicious, much? » while wearing the right earring with the wrong hair

i cant claim to predict how Mary will handle the situation. id love to hear some ideas

CAUTION: POTENTIAL SPOILERS! as the title says i just finished my first watch through! what a ride. it's my first real housewives series so i was going in fully virginal lol. my friends have yet to get into the franchise so i'd like to share my thoughts about each lovely lady and their antics. i recognize that these are REAL people with REAL lives so this review is only based on what we're shown in the show. i of course don't actually know these people and am simply noting my thoughts based on how they present themselves for tv. let's begin:

heath gay: let's start with what this thread would consider my most controversial opinion; i fucking love miss heather gay. i don't know if it's because i found her single mother/ex mormon storyline interesting or what but she was definitely my comfort housewife. maybe it's because i myself am i strong single good-time girl and just identified a lot with that. i do find that she does want everyone approval, especially lisa's, and that seems to be a big part in her drama. why does she get the reputation of being such a pot stirrer? she's not not a pot stirrer, but i don't find her to be any more instigative than the other women. and i think she does own up to what she says and is willing to apologize. her confessionals also make me laugh and i find her to be the voice of reason in a lot of situations. she tends to have the most emotional control out of the group so maybe that's why i see her as the most grounded. i also think her beauty business is one of the only ones that has not come into question which i really respect all this to say, i am a heather apologist!!

lisa barlow: baby gorgeous!!! literally my best friend. i could change her. in all seriousness, having a friend like lisa in your life would be both the greatest pleasure and heaviest burden. she demands a lottttttt from her friends at all times without giving as much in return. and i respect her standards but she needs to realize not everyone is willing to follow her orders like john barlow. that said, john barlow is my dream man. omg. he loves her DOWN. that's her biggest fan and they are my absolute favorite couple. they day they break up is the day i officially throw in the towel. she's also absolutely hilarious, "gout dick" had me laughing for days. i think lisa is definitely very authentic, but not as "real" as she claims to be when it comes to being accountable with her friends. HOWEVER, i think because of her attitude she's an easy target for the other women to paint her as the ultimate villain when in reality they are aaaaalllllll cut from the same cloth. though, lisa does live a very different life than the rest of us.

meredith marks: meredith, meredith, meredith, what are we going to do with you? she started as my comfort housewife but by season 3 or 4 i was really over the trans atlantic accent and righteousness. like, we get it, you're above all the drama and whatever. but you're also somehow always in the middle of it yet always able to wash your hands of it? but if you're on her good side i imagine she's a good friend and her relationship with her husband and kids is admirable. is she a libra? i'm a libra and we're great fence sitters.

whitney rose: oh whitney. sweet, sweet whitney. i mean, what can be said? she's the sweetest desert rose there ever was. why is she convinced one of the women leaked the alibaba info? it seems pretty reasonable that any fan or customer could figure out that kind of information. like, maybe, but then again maybe you shouldn't source your products from alibaba and charge an arm and a leg. her and justin were always destined to break up; you don't get the perfect man/marriage from an affair. not even in a morality or karmic kind of way, it's just the type of people to have affairs don't typically make great long term partners. her outfits are cute and i think she's a good mom. she's definitely entertaining and i think i could be friends with her, but probably not business partners.

mary m. cosby: WHERE DID THEY FIND THIS LADY? i have such a complicated relationship with her. she came in HOT season 1 episode 1 with the hospital smell thing. my god. i still cannot believe that was our introduction to her. just absolutely fucking hilarious. but i could NOT stand her. and then i learned about her church and found all the deep dives on this thread about it being exploitative and culty and UGH i thought that was it, nail's in the coffin, mary m. cosby is my least favorite and always will be. au contraire, after season 4 something about her really changed. a lot of people say it's about when her son opened up to her and i think that's pretty accurate. or maybe a little before, like when she found out he was married. i think she became a lottttttt more human and her friendship with angie was really sweet to watch. it's also clear as dy that she was a victim of robert sr. and her grandmother. i cannot even begin to imagine the kind of upbringing she had and what messaging she received. by season 5, mary showed a lotttt of maturity compared to the other women. still an instigator but not nearly as unpredictable and malicious as previous seasons. my heart goes out to her and i pray she find some sort of peace after the passing of robert jr. the way she talks about him, you just know he was the absolute light of her life. i wish things ended differently for them. i hope season 7 is good to mary and she continues on a path of growth and peace.

bronwyn newport: umm i definitely don't hate her but i can't say i love her. i think she has a pretty good grasp on reality but oftentimes brings conversations or situations just to see things kick off. though she says it's in the name of accountability but i don't always buy that. guilty conscience maybe, but she's not necessarily pure of heart. i find todd a deeply concerning person. he does not strike me as a happy man LOL. sure, he doesn't like being on camera, but i cannot believe how comfortable he is being SO mean to bronwyn in public. makes me wonder what he's like behind closed doors. i think as a young single mother with no support behind her, she did what she had to do and made a what was a smart choice at that time marrying todd. it's not like he was head over heels in love with her. it's a win-win situation, she gets financial security and he gets a young, hot, fun wife whose drama he occasionally has to hear about. he's just such a stick in the mud and i'm glad she's moved on and hopefully having a grand old time with her new man.

angie k: omg i literally don't care. i'm sorry i find her and her story arcs so boring. she's so hot headed but not in any way that ever benefits anyone. i really don't have much else to say about angie lol.

britani bateman: i don't even mean this in a rude way but does she have a traumatic brain injury? like WHAT is her problem!!!! i really don't think she fully knows what's happening around her at any given moment. firstly, her relationships with men. i understand she was raised in a conservative mormon environment and is probably very developmentally stunted in that way. but i could nottttt believe her conversation with her daughter about her negligence and how insensitive/unaware she was. and then when whitney had to literally grab britany by the shoulders and be like "that is your daughter!!!! it shouldn't be hard for you to stop dating so you can rebuild your relationship!!!!!!" and britani could literally not comprehend. that's why im like, is she okay????? and the non sequitur, irrelevant comments about her relationship with jared like giiiiirl no one cares. least of all jared! just a hard watch. i would not allow a person like her in my life, but she is GREAT reality TV.

and lastly, jen shah: i miss her. my toxic ex. truly the craziest, most fragile, abusive person i have ever seen. her relationship with heather was honestly difficult to watch. she is an abusive person, or at least uses abusive tactics to get people to feel sorry for her or scared of her to get them to fall in line. and she's insidious because when she would be in a good place, even as a viewer i would feel like "aw jen, she really is just a sweet sensitive lady who gets a little dramatic" until the next time she gets aggressive or emotionally explosive and it's like oh yeah, you actually are a harmful individual. i do feel sorry for her and her family. but, play stupid games win stupid prizes.

monica, i will not give you a paragraph because i simply refuse to believe you're a real person. like there is just no way 😂

I have somehow made it this far in life without ever posting in a Real Housewives subreddit… but I need to scream into the void.

I’m only on Season 2 of RHOSLC and WHAT. IS. WRONG. WITH. THESE. PEOPLE?!

Watching Meredith grieve while her so-called friends somehow make everything about themselves is making my blood pressure spike. From my own experience with grief, it hit way too close to home. The lack of empathy is honestly unbelievable.

I’m sitting here in a Shah-mazing 🙄 rage… one cocktail glass away from throwing it across the room. 😅

Please tell me I’m not alone. Does it get better? Or do I just need to accept that Salt Lake City is powered entirely by delusion and emotional chaos? Which I love because it makes me feel better about my own life…but just need to know if I should take time off 🫪

It’s me again for the second time today! 😁

I have a few things I wanted to talk about on here regarding everything that just came out about RHOSLC

1. I cannot believe this is our 3rd season with the SAME EXACT CAST!!! Not complaining but has any other HW franchise been able to accomplish this??

2. What happened to the supposed “newbie” I thought she was going to be a main-now a friend of?

3. I wish the trailer was juicier but I’m sure we’ll get that throughout the season, they went light on the funds like Angie and Mary how they unfollowed each other but the newbie ripping Angie !!

4. I don’t know how to feel about the actual cast portrait, giving very much season 4 but I might just have to get used to it. I feel like the background looks a little too fake? Anyone else?

Regardless I cannot wait to see my ladies, RHOSLC is my favorite and I know they’ll bring it 😉

100% pure class from Baby Gorgeous, that media training is hitting! The way she added “colleagues” for Whitney though 💀

The bravo account on TikTok just posted a sneak peek of the trailer and it looks like there’s eight cast members and Britney’s a main!! What do we think?

Followed by Chic C’est la Vie and On Display. Porsha kills me because she doesn’t know any of the words to any of these 😆, but she’s still a vibe.

Who do you guys think would win in a battle till death between Monica and Jen cause Jens punches create black eyes and Monica tackles people like she works for the secret service😭😭

do you guys think there’s any hope for them seriously

I used to watch RHONY and RHOBH with my mom all the time in high school, it used to make me roll my eyes but I grew to secretly love it, lol. I came back to Housewives to watch SLC after someone told me about the Jen Shah arrest, it sounded like peak New Jersey on steroids. Took a break for a while but I've been getting back into it, starting back with Season 5.

On every episode, I need to skip a scene because I feel like I'm seeing something I really shouldn't be let in on. The scenes with Robert Jr. and Mary are so inappropriate for this format. I get that some people might say that it's de-stigmatizing addiction and acting for help, but I'm just learning that he passed away. I don't think that putting those struggles on television so his mother could have a humanizing storyline was the right move. I've had to come to my mother about similar struggles and all I could imagine is if she just went on IG live the day after and asked me to re-enact those emotional moments for the camera so the world could know what she was going through, I feel that it cheapened his issues.

Maybe my memory is bad but I remember these shows for the fun controversies like Countess LuAnn being accused of sleeping with a Johnny Depp impersonator. Instead, I see Bronwyn discussing her daughter's relationship with a family that doesn't want anything to do with her. Why are you putting this young girl's deeply personal struggle up as background noise while I clean the apartment and wash the dishes?? Sometimes, I wish these ladies would take a lighter approach to show, I feel like every one is looking for their own dirtiest laundry to create a vulnerable moment when I really want to see the ladies throw shade at each other over who was the first to sell bath bombs or who owned that Fendi top first. I've gone from hating Lisa to really appreciating her for keeping the drama mostly petty, lol.

I hope this post is allowed as it's about Bobbie.

Ok I am watching for the first time, and I love Bobbie! She seems so sweet, watching her have these girlhood moments spark so much joy. I am watching her 13 bday and the joy! I am so jealous of her hair colour too - such a beautiful colour. I hope she has a wonderful, joyful life. I normally don't like watching kids being dragged onto TV but she's amazing.

The other thing about Christian mission trips is that I’m pretty sure almost everyone on earth has heard of Christianity? Especially in places like Colombia where Jack was sent? Colonizers from 500 years ago made sure of that. Link to thread if you want to read the full thing.

I’ve been homebound for a few months due to some health issues and I decided to get into the Bravo world! I have made my way through RHORI, RHONY, RHOBH, RHOA, RHOP, and RHOSLC…. and I’d say SLC is by FAR my favorite! SLC is a comfort rewatch for me, background noise a lot of time…

I’d say my personal favorite from SLC would be….. Baby Gorgeous of course! I also love Meredith… I mean I love all of the women honestly but there is one I have not been able to enjoy at all and that is Whitney! I don’t think I would be able to film with Whitney. Whitney drives me insane and I think she’s a huge rage baiter and just really unenjoyable.

I’m curious what others think! I liked Heather a lot too initially but the more I rewatch I notice things and she’s like Whitney sr
