Reunion Looks That Hurt My Eyes

Image
For my final blog post, I will be diving into the fashion choices at the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 2 reunion. When this reunion aired in January 2022, it was widely criticized, with some calling it the worst-dressed Housewives reunion in history. Notably, Mary Cosby did not attend the reunion, leaving us with six looks to evaluate. ​ (I don’t really like any of the outfits, so instead of ranking them worst to best, I’m ranking them worst to least bad .) 

Season 2: Episode 12

  This week, we will be playing a little game of  “Who Said That?” I’ve pulled some of the unhinged, dramatic, or just confusing quotes from the episode, and it’s up to you to guess whether they came from Mary Cosby or Heather Gay. Two very different ladies, but both capable of saying something completely off the rails. Let’s see how well you know your Housewives. The Quotes: 1. “I’m not God. I worship the god in me. AND HE’S IN ME!” 2. “I was on bolognese and three bottles of wine.” 3. “I could have manipulated you.” 4. “I almost wish the feds had arrested me at Beauty Lab so I could have avoided spending time with these women.” 5. “I was born in money, okay? I didn’t ask for it. It was given to me.” 6. “I have overlooked the fact that you are married to your stepdad.” Scroll to check your answers.......... The Reveal: Mary – Honestly, this is basically her personal mission statement. Heather – If being unhinged on carbs and wine was a job, she’d be CEO. ...

  This week, I'm switching up what I normally do. Instead of writing my own blog, I had ChatGPT write it. I pasted in a few of my previous blogs so it could copy my writing style and prompted it to write a blog about its own opinions on each of the women from the show. Here's what it gave me:

Season 2: Episode 11

  Keeping on the theme of Jens Shah's arrest from the last episode, I give you: ๐Ÿ† Most to Least Likely to Visit Jen in Jail 1. Heather Gay Heather should have " ride or die" tattooed on her forehead. She’s said from the start that she’ll stand by Jen, no matter what. Even with all the headlines, lies, and drama, Heather’s loyalty hasn’t wavered. If Jen’s allowed visitors, Heather’s is at the top of the list. 2. Jennie Nguyen Jennie is surprisingly neutral in all this. She’s logical and cautious, but she’s also been vocal about not judging Jen until all the facts are out. She’d probably show up once, mostly out of curiosity and politeness. 3. Whitney Rose Whitney is complicated. She says Jen owes everyone an explanation, but she’s also always poking around for more information. Would she visit Jen? Maybe. But only if she could ask 47 follow-up questions and turn it into an emotional growth moment. She’d probably show up with crystals and a list of things to “process.”...

Season 2: Episode 10

  In this episode, we get one of the greatest moments in Housewives history, Jen Shah's arrest. I will be breaking down the timeline of how everything happened on this memorable day.  9:33 AM - Salt Lake City The girls, Whitney, Heather, Jennie, Lisa, and Jen board the bus for their Vail trip. Everyone’s excited. Except for Jen. She gets a mysterious call about a “medical emergency” involving her husband. She quickly leaves the bus, leaving the others confused and wondering what’s going on. 9:45 AM – Where is Jen Shah 12 minutes later, Homeland Security, the FBI, and NYPD pull up to the scene asking about Jen’s whereabouts. Naturally, the ladies are freaking out, concerned, scared, and calling anyone and everyone to figure out where she went. For comedic relief, of course, Jennie finds Jen’s goodie bag that was for the long car ride and raids all of her snacks saying, "Well she's not going to eat them!" 10:12 AM - Arrival in Vail Merideth arrives at the Vail vacation ...

Season 2: Episode 9

  Chaos Creators vs. Vibe Protectors This episode was a rollercoaster of energy, and the cast was clearly split between those trying to stir the pot and those trying to keep the lid on. Let’s break it down: ๐Ÿงจ Chaos Creator: Mary   Mary was all over the place in this episode. She hosted an Italian cooking class and told everyone to dress in Italian streetwear, whatever that means. She then decides punished Whitney for not answering her FaceTime calls by demanding she show up in full mafia attire... and then got mad when she didn't even though everyone else was on a different theme. At dinner, she wouldn’t let Whitney get a word in and dropped a condescending “little girl” that set the tone for a full verbal takedown. Also add on a dozens of nasty texts and a meltdown when Meredith comforted Whitney instead of her? Mary girl, get it together. ๐Ÿง˜‍♀️ Vibe Protector: Meredith Meredith is trying, okay? She plans a peaceful girls trip to Vail and wants everyone to get alon...

Season 2: Episode 8

  Episode 8: A Wolf Pack of Secrets Listen, not every episode can be unhinged and a mess of screaming and arguing, and unfortunately, this week's episode will not win any Emmys. My original plan for this week was to rank the most dramatic housewives from this episode, but after watching it, I've decided to change it up and rank who gave me the least to work. The rankings will go from "somewhat entertaining" to "why am I watching this?". 1. Lisa - The Only One Doing Anything Lisa is the only reason this episode had a pulse. She hosted an event with her sons, stirred the pot between Jen and Whitney, and got some insider gossip about Mary's church. I've seen Lisa do way more in episodes but this week I am just grateful she at least gave me something. 2. Jen - Overreacting for the Cameras (Again) Jen's most interesting moment this week was yelling at Lisa for bringing up something that apparently was not supposed to be talked about on camera ( normal...
