The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City

Being a SLC native, and living a life very outside the normal Mormon lifestyle, this show is fantastic! I am obsessed with the women, and the drama is so much fun too watch. The only one on this show I could do without is Mary. She drives me insane, and I don't understand why she's a part of this group. Meredith, Lisa, and Jen are my absolute favorites!!!

I didn't care for season one. I thought it was too much bickering over redundant $hit, but so far season 2 is pretty good. Meaning, they aren't arguing about dumb stuff. It's actually stuff that matters. Looking forward to how everything plays out.

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!?

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!"

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.
