The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City

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.

What Bravo doesn't seem to understand is their viewers like when the housewives have admirable qualities and decent moments. You can't have too much over the top vapid fakeness or the audience loses interest i.e. Real housewives of Miami. One of the reasons real housewives of new york is the best one is because of the real friendships the women seem to have underneath all the glitz and pettiness. The reason rhobh is starting to do better is because now they have Kathy Hilton and you can see the real connection between her and Kyle. Rh of atlanta has a lot of fights and friction but underneath it you see they have a lot of fun together and have known each other for years. This show has none of the good and all of the bad. They are just trying way too hard.

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!?

....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.
