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!"

....when you aren't watching a filler episode, which in the most recent season (6) there are quite a few. However, even with that being said, aside from the OG New York girls, this is my favorite real housewives franchise! If you like any of housewives franchise but you haven't watched this one, you absolutely have to check it out.

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.

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.

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.
