The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives

Sorry I was super excited about this show the way that the previews made it looked. But it was actually pretty boring. And the fact that Jen Affleck has her full name every time she is on screen is beyond annoying! Who TF cares that's her last name?!?!? She even admitted that she has never even met her husband's second cousin, so quit ridding those coattails. I'm not going to lie I have a second cousin myself who is a celebrity but I don't go around bragging day and night about that. Even to the point we have spent holidays together as a family so I have that up on her, but even some of my closest friends don't know that he is my cousin. Sorry but I'm really disappointed by this show.

I mean, they aren't Mormon. I know that doesn't make the show sound as catchy and won't attract as many people. It would be interesting to see a scandal of people in the church and how the church dealt with them but unfortunately that isn't what you get here. These women aren't only lot Mormon they never were, I can't find anything credible that says they were ever Mormon or a part of the church. But if you want to watch an Utah real housewives kind of show maybe you would like this. If you were expecting any of the people in this show to be Mormon you should know they are not Mormon. And if they were they would have been kicked out of the church long ago, but they're not and near as I can tell, never were.

I finished the whole season, just so I could give an honest opinion, but my feelings about this group of women are the same as when I used to see them on TikTok. Why are they even relevant? It's not entertaining, their relationship is uncomfortable to watch at best, and extremely toxic at its worst. Their constant back-stabbing is petty and reminds me of being in middle school. I have met several "Mormons" in my life, and the ones who live like most of these women do don't claim to be part of the religion any longer. Why pretend to be part of something you obviously don't agree with? No one is forcing you to call yourself a "Mormon", so the only obvious answer is that they are doing it for the shock factor and so they can make money while also making a mockery out of a religion that so many hold sacred. It's just distasteful.

I watched both seasons of this show and initially liked their "motto" of being supportive to each other, but I've never seen friends, let alone enemies, treat each other the way these girls treat one another. They are catty, bitchy, speak behind each others backs and are completely fake and rude to one another. I've never left a review on social media in my entire life, but I will not watch another season of this because I think it represents females in a false way. I have never, and would never treat my friends the way these girls treat one another and I hope that people do not use this show as a role model of what female friends are like in general or how typical females act, it is so far from how any females I know behave. Perhaps it's hyped up to be good drama for tv. I'd give the show one star out of ten.

Why would I watch a show about random women?

It wasn't about their Mormon lives. It wasn't even about TikTok. I didn't know anything about them before watching, and I'm not Mormon by any means, so I'm not going to criticize their choices or whatever.

But it was so boring.

Would it be interesting to get a glimpse into the lives of Mormon women? Yes, probably. Instead, all I'm getting is a group of women having endless conversations about who's the bitch and why men often suck. I could've watched literally any other reality show.

The show tries so hard to be entertaining but fails miserably. What was that with the farm? I don't buy it. It feels like the only reason she's there is to avoid showing more footage of her just staying home with her family.

Oh, and Mayci dear, congratulations on making Gryffindor. Your father and I are so proud. (Mayci is so pretty.)
