Who runs the world? And no, I’m not kidding; no, this is not a drill. Or, at the very least, Mia has. ‘The Real Housewives of Potomac’.Bravo I want to know so much more about almost every new thing I learn about Mia. So, let’s go into it. This episode’s trouble starts wheremosttrouble starts: Gizelle attempting to navigate a photoshoot. Bravo And perhaps it is for that reason that Kal only replies with a gentle, “Um…...
The woman is made of Teflon, or that QVC-level plastic they make the expensive Tupperware out of. Also, a whole-assglobal pandemic. So, it’s pretty clear what’s changed: Wendy’s clothes. But what Gizelleactuallywants to talk about iswhy. What would getting that confirmation evenmeanto Gizelle? A perfect time…in the middle of a whiskey tasting. When Candiace talked to Ashley about the Michael-cheating rumors it was because theystarted with her. But Gizelle and Ashley don’t have any intel!...
It was truly a wild and wonderful ride. ButRHOPhas simply been treating this Housewives race as the marathon that it is. Because aint nobody in Potomac overnothin! Credit: Bravo Thank you for dripping that bit of tea because I now know the ring is coming! Karen exclaims as she runs away from Gizelle with her new intel. I didnt say that, Karen! Gizelle calls after her. And you’re free to swish your little boom-boom all you want!...
The season 5 reunion begins with a binder, and will almost definitely end with a bang. TheReal Housewives of Potomacreunion gowns? Highlighted to the heavens. Credit: Bravo Collated, color-coded, and three-ring hole-punched within an inch of their lives. And our Bravo lord and savior, consummate professional, and always-prepared host,Andy Cohen? But much of the original diplomacy remains. Have they watched this season where she talks about how much she doesn’t want to teach there anymore?...
Now, listen, Mia is a lot. She’s a lotta look, a lotta voice, a lotta backstory, a lotta personality. So, either Wendy openly wants Karen to like her now, or she actually needs some mentorship. Meanwhile, Robyn isn’t looking for mentorship forherbusiness; she’s just looking for straight-up free labor. Seems like a recipe for Housewives' success! Also a recipe for Housewives success: a complex family history. Candiace wants an apology from Karen for choosing to stay neutral in the fight with Monique last year....
Gizelle is coming for Wendy, but the argument has no substance, only shade. Wendy was open about it,mostlyhonest, and gave everyone titty cupcakes to celebrate. But it just isn’t enough for the Green-Eyed Bandits. And Wendy isn’t the only co-worker Gizelle is butting heads with in this hour. YouknowI like when the O.G. They put a pin in it for now. Thank goodness for Askale, who tells Robyn that the symptoms she’s describing sound a lot like depression....
The reality star lashed out on the show’s Dec. 5 episode. “That’s horrible,” she said. “It’s not fair to put me with someone [like Jen]. Lisa Barlow and Mary Crosby on ‘The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City’.Bravo When I think about Jen, I see heartless, I see a thug. Like, you know, those Mexican people that make all those drugs. To pit me with that?!” Cosby has now shared a mea culpa in a graphic she posted on herInstagram....
That could also sum things up around here. But boy, do we need one. But here we are, watching our six best new frenemies in theRHOSLCseason 1 finale. bravo Heather is working at her office until suddenly she’s remembering Jen saying she doesn’t trust her. Which is a nice sentiment, but it’s also like Meredith, do youknowhow storylines work? Jen sobs that she thinks she’s done that! I haven’t, and I’m wrong....
I was a little skeptical. Because, by God, thisReal Housewivespremiere was damn nearPERFECT. Every single woman in theRHOSLCcast is like theStefon skitof Housewives. Credit: bravo And thats thelowkeyHousewife of the bunch, Whitney! And honestly, thats perhaps the least chaotic thing Mary does in her franchise debut. Jen is Tongan and Hawaiian but moved to Utah from Hawaii when she was 6. People in Utah have no clue what I am, she says....
Butthistime around, when weknewwhat was coming it felt more like watching an action film. Because nothing brings out the worst in Mary like hosting an event. But who could really say! Then here’s an idea, Mary:do it yourself! And while we’re at it: stop asking people to pray and then telling them that they’repraying incorrectly! The thing aboutRHOSLCis that it makes you consider that two opposing narratives can be true at once....
And ain’t that just the truth. Plus, that recappin' in kitchens is actually interesting because there is justso muchhappening here. When the episode opens, no one has spoken since the disastrous end to Sharrieff’s golf/hip-hop birthday party. Which is a shocking amount of accountability from Jen… Itwill notlast the hour. And that’s how you know it’sreallybad. Especially when you consider what we’re getting from the Blonde Bandits and Jen Shah....
This is the level thatTheReal Housewives of Salt Lake Cityoperates on. Andcertainlynot in reference to said problem. HEATHER: “I was raised a Mormon, but now I’mraisinga glass of champagne. “What is this knockoff nonsense?! Not to mention: everyone knows raising a glass of Maryland’s finest bubbly isRHOP’s territory. WHITNEY: “In a town of beauties and beasts… there’s onlyonewild rose. Also, calling the people in your town"beasts"is a bold move! MEREDITH: “I may be known for my ice, but I always bring the heat....
Week after week,The Real Housewives of Salt Lake Cityis simply giving the people what they want. Nay, giving the people what theyneed. A college-agedHousewivesspawn doing full David Rose cosplay in his very own testimonials?Check. Credit: CHAD KIRKLAND/Bravo Not one, buttwoinstances of dramatically blending a beverage?Double-check. Oh yeah,thats a check for sure. Because,RHOSLC to me, you are perfect. And speaking of complicated relationships… Mary! Has there ever been a more immediately fascinating Housewife than Mary?...
