Real Housewives Recap: Salt Lake City

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 .) 

  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:

  Keeping on the theme of Jens Shah's arrest from the last episode, I give you: 🏆 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.”...

  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 ...
