The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City

Are we all watching the same show?!? The SLC ladies have done their homework. They give the people what they want: Fabulous homes, fabulous clothes, ugly husbands. They hit the ground running with an incredible franchise opener "You smell like hospital?!" Brilliant! Three kinds of fast food for dinner because I'm a busy Mormon mom with an alcohol business?? Check! I hope the people who have rated this series 1/10 stars look at their lives and look at their choices. They're all "flappers with canckles!"

Alright, so I think The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City might just be my favourite of all the Real Housewives franchises. I mean, these women are crazy or criminal or grifting or Mormon or cult-leading maniacs in designer clothes. What's not to like!?

Although I'd never rely on reality tv for any sort of intellectual stimulation, I couldn't stand any other real housewives series because they would melt my brain with their fakeness and stupidity but NOT THE CASE HERE!! I love this series!! The women are believable as people and seem quite smart!! They do activities that look like fun and their conversations don't come across as scripted or forced like so many other RH women do. I really like learning about the Mormon church through them because it's like an enigma unraveling for us non-Mormon viewers. I love this group, KEEP ALL OF THEM!! THIS IS THE SUPERIOR RH SERIES.

As somebody who previously lived several years in Salt Lake City, I think that the issues these women talk about and face are extremely relevant and entertaining. Those who have never lived in the city do not know how much the church has an impact on the community, and how people who are not apart of the church struggle to fit in. Although most critics find these women vapid socialites, I believe that their lifestyles are more upper middle class than other housewife casts, making it more interesting and realistic. People also have to remember that the point of reality TV is to entertain, and in order to do so you need to have controversial moments that reflect reality. These women are doing that, and they are sacrificing their own real life reputation in order to shed light on issues and altercations that happen consistently with everyday Americans. The audience should stop throwing rocks from glass houses and appreciate their candidness.

Let's skip all the boring stuff, we all know what this show is. Here are my unqualified psycho assessments for all the girls:

Jen Shah: Histrionic Disorder

• categorized by exaggerated emotionality and attention seeking behaviours
• Overwhelming desire to be noticed
• sense of self-worth depends on the approval of others

Mary Crosby: Psychopathy. (Or antisocial personality disorder at the least) -Disregarding or violating the rights of others -Inability to distinguish between right and wrong -tendency to lie often -Narcissism

Heather: Mentally stable for the most part. "Religious trauma" and a bit of an inciting conflict problem.

Lisa: Antisocial personality disorder -Lisa seems to display some pretty evident dark triad traits at the least (psychopathy, narcissism, Machiavellian) she's NOT a psychopath, but she's definitely manipulative and does show some pretty evident narcissism.

Meredith: Anti-Social Personality disorder. Clearly she's very neurotic and often withdraws as a coping mechanism. It seems like she's often masking her emotions, and generally plays her cards pretty close to her chest. She unable to be vulnerable very often and displays some narcissistic tendencies.

Whitney: I don't even know what to say. At first I thought she was just really stupid, but then I realized it's more that's she's just extremely naive. Lisa's not so far off with the Nancy drew comment. Maybe another histrionic.
