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:


🧨 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.


🧘‍♀️ Vibe Protector: Meredith

Meredith is trying, okay? She plans a peaceful girls trip to Vail and wants everyone to get along, especially Mary and Jennie. When the drama explodes at Mary’s dinner, Meredith gently checks on Whitney and stays composed while everyone else loses their minds. Her energy is calm, collected, and very "I'm too old for this."


🧨 Chaos Creator: Whitney

Whitney was not going to take Mary’s "little girl" attack lying down. She defended herself, challenged Lisa on her messy pot-stirring, and tried to clarify the whole Jen situation before getting dragged anyway. She’s not exactly throwing gasoline on the fire, but she was not going to take any BS this week.


🧘‍♀️ Vibe Protector: Heather

Heather had a totally separate, emotionally grounded plot this episode. She reconnected with family friends who are leaving the Mormon church and showed her support to them. She’s shared her experiences and how her family has grown since leaving the church. Very drama free, very laid back.


🧨 Chaos Creator (in spirit): Lisa

Lisa didn’t do much this episode, but her fingerprints were on several messy moments. She tried to drive a wedge between Whitney and Jen, and was quietly fueling the fire with subtle comments and deflections. It was like she was on low power mode this week, however still effective. 


🧘‍♀️ Vibe Protector: Jennie

Jennie was barely in this episode, like I think one or two clips. A vibe protector by default I guess?


💣💣💣 Ultimate Chaos Creator: Jen Shah

And finally, right before the girls leave on their trip to Vail, Jen says she has a family emergency and leaves the scene immediately, conveniently right before federal agents show up looking for her.  Yes, Homeland Security showed up and were asking all sorts of questions about where she went. Nothing says chaotic energy like fleeing the scene before your arrest. 

The episode ends on a cliffhanger, and it’s clear: Jen is in a whole different league of drama now.

Season 2: Episode 1

Episode 1: Best Frenemies Introduction: This week we will be covering episode 1 of season 2 of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. I have not seen this season so we will be going through these drama-filled episodes one by one together. Just to preface, this season does take place at the end of 2021, into 2022, so I’ll be discussing it as if I am not aware of what happens in the later seasons. Let's Begin… This episode starts off intense, giving a preview of what's to come later in the season. It opens with one of the housewives, Jen Shah, being tracked down by federal agents due to fraud and money laundering charges against her (I know, crazy, but stick with me). This is the wildest opening I've seen to a Housewives season. Then the episode flashes back to where the story really begins, two months  earlier …. Now I’ll be breaking down the housewives and sharing my opinions on each of them: Jen Shah In her new downsized house, Jen has Lisa Barlow over and opens up to her...

Season 2: Episode 6

  Episode 6: Sex, Lies, and Sister Wives In honor of the Oscars happening this past Sunday, I am going to be giving out awards for this week's episode of Salt Lake. The Most Delusional Quote: Duy, Jennie's Husband 🏆 "Why if we get a sister wife?" The topic that got the most screen time from this week's episode was Jennie and her husband Duy's disagreement on having more kids. Jennie is completely against the idea and Duy's solution was to suggest to her that they get a surrogate or a sister wife (Yes, he suggested they become polygamists). Jennie honestly kept her composure pretty well when Duy brought this up considering the fact her husband of 10+ years just suggested bringing another woman into their marriage so she could give him more children. To sum up the rest of the conversation, Jennie told him "No. Absolutely not." and walked away. This is kind of a crazy storyline for someone new to the show this season and I'm hoping for a Duy ap...

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 .)
