It’s time for the RHOSLC recap of the reunion. I’ve been looking for to this for quite some time given that I’m told that Mary’s cult leadership is going to be called out. It seems the women were unaware of that situation. It was a very scary situation in the ghetto today. There were loud explosions? gun shots? Something was going on and it was from all sides. It felt like a warzone and thankfully it is over it seems but my anxiety is through the roof. Also, I love my Twitter followers. And one of them is calling me “racially insensitive” which I read as “racist” because I stupidly got involved in and argument he was having about Tiffany from RHOD forcing people to eat chicken feet.

Personally, down here they have pickled pigs feet and pickled eggs in giant jars at most small stores I go to. I don’t eat feet OR eggs. I’m not sure why this means I hate Asians or anyone else. People are vegetarians. Pescatarians. People are able to choose what they eat. Not eating chicken feet does not mean I hate Asians. Anyway, it hurt my heart. Then the explosions started happening and I have no idea what that was but it was terrifying. I never heard any cops show up. Because we apparently don’t matter. Today I was supposed to be making a fancy Korean pork dish but all I wanted to do was sleep. So don’t expect much from this recap. 
I’m really feeling unwell. I have a headache. But I really want to watch and recap these episodes. I was out of the house a few days ago. I really do not want to be sick again. I know I am always whining about one thing or the other but I just don’t feel good AGAIN. I guess I am going to have to sign up for Whole Foods delivery again. I should have done that months ago. I don’t want to be sick again, dammit. Anyway, let’s do this. Sorry for whining. And somehow this was not wanting to tape so I am a bit behind. Heather has all the fan even celebs are DMing her.

I am very sorry but I do not feel right an may not be able to get her Black History post up for tomorrow. Mary feels bad that her shitty wig made her look stupid. Whitney’s dress is everything. All of the women look gorgeous. Even Mary. Totally best dressed reunion ever. One of the twins Meredith? probably has perfect boobs. Lisa has a whole lot of hair going on. Lisa is a cunt to Heather. Apparently, she hates Heather. This is not a popular opinion, Lisa. Whitney thinks Lisa thinks everyone is jealous of her. Did Whitney get bigger boobs? They are huge.
The Focus Turns To Jen
It’s a feel sorry for Jen moment. No one cares. Wow, both Heather and Mary lost their fathers recently and it seems like this was news to everyone so… not such good friends after all. And I get weepy when I am sick so I’m already crying just a bit. Jen lies about her plastic surgery. Whitney says she has had lip injections since the show. Jen lies about her “job”. No one thinks she actually has a job. Did I mention Whitney’s boobs are huge? Jen cries about her husband not going to her father’s funeral. I’d divorce my husband over that alone. I’m actually Team Jen on this one.

I have to say all of these ladies look amazing. Even Mary and Jen. They are really rocking their looks. I can’t get over Meredith’s boobs. THEY. ARE. AMAZING. Money well spent? This may be a shit show of a season but these girls turn up with their LOOKS. Jen outs Meredith as a Smoker. I am smoking right now and I’m sick of people who do not get it. I started smoking when I was 11. We were following in the footsteps of our aunties and uncles an sisters. That is where we learned it. Also there were SMOKING areas in my High School so shut the fuck up about that. Meredith went after Jen for coming for her son, Brooks on social media. I know you all hate him but I love Brooks and feel he is being dragged for not reason and Jen as in on that. You do no mock someone’s child.
Is Anyone Kind To Mary?
Seriously, are we not going to get to the part where Mary is a cult leader? Because my source says it happened and if it all gets cut out I am going to be PISSED. It’s literally the only reason I care to watch this. Why is Lisa trying to stand up for Mary? This cannot stand. Instead we are going in on Lisa? Really, are they not going to show all the cult shit????? REALLY? Lisa cries over her kids. I love Lisa but she is getting it hard this reunion. I do not think that Lisa is snobby. Did I miss something? I think Whitney and her new boobs is being awful. I love Lisa. Somehow everyone else hates her.

Mary says that she never makes people feel less than. You know, except her congregation. So that looks like it will be next week? I know there was a huge blowout over her church. So it is crazy that there is weird shit that has to come. We keep going back to nothing arguments between Lisa and Whitney. WHY? Lisa and Whitney argue over nothing. This reunion episode was boring. BUT. THERE. HAS. NEVER. BEEN. A . MORE. STUNNING. WARDROBE. Every single one of them was on point. They all looked BEAUTIFUL.
Anyway, Mary is on WWHL. And I need to do a Black History Month moment despite my “racial insanitary.
I hate that they were screaming over each other so much, I couldn’t follow it. I am also totally confused as to who is mad at whom. I wanted to hear from someone other than the twins.
I disagree with you TT re Brooks. He is not a child in the typical HW sense (like Tiffany’s girls). He wanted to be a HW and inserted himself as much as he could. He is a free target when he is a jerk. And his total lack of a fashion line is also open for comment. (And I don’t believe he saw Jen’s V either.)
And the women were right that Lisa is her own biggest fan. Makes me laugh that she essentially bragged all the time about devoting all her time to work, never cooking, etc. And then she cries when someone suggests she doesn’t devote much time with her kids? Other than going through fast food drive throughs and promoting the boys’ so=called line of shampoo, she spent little time with them on the show IIRC. But lots of working mothers do the same, so…..
I hope the next episodes are better. Compared to the show, the reunion was lacking IMHO.
TT, I am waiting for the Mary roast as well. It seems that she has no clue that people are critical of her treatment of her congregation.
All of the things you say about Brooks are true. But I still kind of love him. When I was in college, I lived in a basement apartment and sometimes fucked this one guy. We were just kind of drinking buddies and he live out of Athens a ways and would often break into my apartment through the window. I think his name was Ray but I don’t really remember. And every time I would be upset about something he would say, “You are just looking at it wrong” He was a wise man and I miss waking up to him randomly sleeping in my bed. Or on my couch. He was hilarious. And a great friend. I prolly should have just given him a key.
Lulilu … thank you!! Everything you just said and then some more! Whitney said it best … she isn’t judge mental, she looks down on them and she is dismissive. She proved that with “roll the tape” and “we’re not moving on”! Brooks dished it out, used the opportunity and had his own talking head. He wanted to be in the mix so he needs to take it. He’s not a child, he’s a young adult who was snarky and got snarked back.
I am sorry you’re having a bad time. Please take care of yourself! Also, Meredith’s boobs were pure perfection and I couldn’t stop staring.
Thanks for the recap!
Lisa is a complete C U Next Tuesday. I hope she doesn’t get offended by that… I’m just being direct. Lisa takes NO responsibility for how she treated Heather and Whitney. My gut is that she thinks they’re less than her because they’re divorced… a big no-no in her narrow “perfect” Morman world.
Whitney was 100% correct when she was calling Lisa out. Lisa delivers most of her insults dripping with humble bragging and pretend kindness.
I’m glad Meredith finally showed up. She has been the coldest and most boring to me all season.
#TeamHeather!
I really like her, even more so now.
Lisa really tried to be in control of the entire reunion — shouting over everyone, having something to say about everything, and “roll the tape.” lol
IDK if she looks down on Whitney and Heather because of religion. She is hardly the poster girl for Mormonism with her liquor business. I think she just believes she is really special and perfect ad all that — just like she says repeatedly.
One thing she could improve on is her catch phrase “I love that.” Repeated incessantly and so boring.
I agree these women all looked great. The content however was lacking and this is a strange assortment of women. They don’t seem to really know each other very well
Your alleged chicken feet insensitivity reminds me of 90 day fiance when Pedro’s mom made a traditional chicken feet dish for the Family Chantel so they would feel they had to eat it, lest they make a cultural faux pas, but then was like ‘hell no, I’m not eating chicken feet’ herself. You have a right to body autonomy, as long as you are polite when you decline a dish. I’ve declined food all over the world for various reasons (hygiene, digestive issues, coming off weight loss surgery, because it was some funky body part) you just have to do it the right way. If they get offended, they aren’t very good hosts.
I am really close to my people on Twitter. I love you all but to be honest, I love my Twitter people more. And I do not actually follow many people there. The are carefully curated and people I respect. So this guy coming for me is still something I am trying to get over. He called me a racist who hates Asians and just really went in on me for DAYS.
There are shitheads who come here every day spewing garbage at me and I could give two fucks. But this guy… WAS my friend. And I apologized eight ways from Sunday for him being offended. And he was NOT to my knowledge Asian. And he just went deep and basically made me feel like I was some horrible person. It really crushed my heart.
You are not racist TT. IDK what set him off as I didn’t see the posts (but I do follow you on Twitter) but I have never seen a glimpse of racism and I’ve been here for years.
Fuck him.
I second that — Fuck him! He was obviously not a friend if he thinks you are racist.
I’m sorry that he hurt you T. ?
I’m seeing this so late in the game but I can’t NOT comment. Tam, you’re the farthest from racist and a blind person could see that. For the life of me I can’t understand how there hasn’t been more discussion on the Chicken feet dinner. Everyone has lost their GD minds and focus IMO. The dinner was given in good spirit and to introduce the ladies to a new culture.. the “ladies” acted like toddlers with their complaining and whining instead of acting like gracious guests. It was embarrassing. There was nothing funny if that’s what production was going for. D’Andra was the only guest that behaved accordingly. This show is truly about women with money. What’s the song LuMan sings?
While I have no desire to eat chicken feet. I would have tried it, because I am an adventurous eater. Not TOO Adventurous, lol, but I would have probably brought it to my mouth at least. BUT I WOULD NOT have done so in this case as she was so fucking demanding. If I were in a Chinese home I would have out of courtesy but not with Tiffany trying to force it on people.
I’m sorry this recap kind of sucked. If you guys were around when the cat ladies turned on me while I as in surgery, it was kind of like that with the guy on Twitter. I don’t give two shits when random people fill my inbox with hatred. But I do give shit when people I care about do. I can’t sleep and am having nightmares about not being able to trust people.
Mean people suck. And I am letting one mean person get to me. A disagreement about chicken feet that I should have never ever gotten involved in, has damaged me in ways I would not have even expected. I am, I think a pretty hard person, and maybe it is because I am a bit under the weather again, but it was very painful. I just don’t feel so very good. Sorry for whining.
Let it go Tamara. (And I mean that sincerely and not as a micro aggression) It wasn’t about the chicken feet. That guy came to fight and made it about himself. His comments were demeaning towards you while also saying he is insulted. He can’t have it both ways.
I hope things have settled down in your neighborhood and you feel better soon. Love you!
Do I seem like someone who says “he hurt my feelings?” I am not that person. But he destroyed me. DESTROYED ME. He broke my heart . It was awful. He said things about me I do not ever want people to even think about me. I can’t even explain how awful it was. It was really bad. And you guys know I do not give a shit when in comes to assholes. And the real reason all the nonsense he was spewing was so hurtful was because he way a trusted friend. Who apparently hated me all along.
I now you probably don’t get it but it was AWFUL. No one in my life has ever been that mean to me. EVER. Especially not someone I liked.
I’m sorry you went through that. Friends should be able to accept an apology from each other and move on. It sucks when someone you trusted turns on you.
He was out of line! Don’t give him another thought. Guess he didn’t deserve the respect you were giving him. All because you don’t eat chicken feet? I don’t agree with some Asian cuisine, doesn’t mean I’m a racist. I just feel that the unnecessary slaughter of sharks, dolphins and other sentient creatures is barbaric and needs to stop.
I’m sorry he was so cruel Tamara. You know they say hurt people hurt people. Maybe he’s dealing with something and you were on the receiving end of his pain. Usually if someone is that mean, hurtful, then there is more going on. Love you!
TT. He intended to hurt you the whole time he befriended you. He deliberately lured you in with kindness and friendship so his insults would hurt even more.
Betrayal hurts and I’m so sorry it happened to you. Feel how you want to feel and know that we are here for you.
The sad thing is he wouldn’t stop no matter what you said. I can see how it would hurt you terribly. There was no reason for you to be on the receiving end of his diatribe. I’m so sorry for how you feel. You did not deserve to take the brunt of his anger and aggression.
First time poster but long time lurker. I just had to reach out and say that you being a racist is the biggest crock of shit I have ever heard. To be very clear I am black and my mom ate chicken feet as a child growing up in S Carolina. Her mother had 7 kids and also took care of my Great Grandmother after my grandfather left for greener pastures. They were poor and it was the 50’s and not out of the norm. That being said, I would not touch a chicken foot with a 10 foot pole and to be honest neither would my mom. Eating chicken feet is not just an Asian thing it is a matter of circumstance. So if that asshat’s logic deemed you Anti-Asian, that would mean that you are Anti-black too. And seeing that you have posted such meaningful beautiful post for Black history month and are one of the biggest supporters of the black community don’t let one fucktard ruin the amazingly wonderful soul that you have. I will crawl back into my hole now, but you my friend in my head should keep doing you boo!!!
Thanks for the kind words Angelica.
I can’t stand Lisa. I was also surprised that Jen was fairly calm. I don’t believe that the pure angelica Brookie (another one on the show that I detest) saw Jen’s vagina.
As for Meredith’s boobs- I was in awe of them too and how I would never be able to get those two buttons on her to line up perfectly like that. Definitely money well spent!!
Whitney’s boobs look big off and on in confessionals but they were huge in the reunion!!!
This tweet from Meredith us everything!!
I never asked Jen to sleep over. She passed out and I gave her a Brooks Marks tracksuit to wear home. #RHOSLC
???
I like Merideth’s dress. When you have a rack like that, show it off.
Nice dress on Whitney as well.
I agree with Jen that one track suit does not a fashion line make. And Brooks is annoying as hell.
Next season, the producers need to make sure they get Whitney Rose into a bikini. The viewers need a better look at her new sweater puppies.
~APG~
The style is great but I JUST CANNOT with Lisa’s spray tanned hands. I mean even the palms!!!! Am I the only one seeing this???!!!
Hell no. That’s all I could focus on.
Watching the reunion now and it’s the only thing I can say when she’s on camera fronts and backs of her hands are so fake tan and horrible. Sort of matching her personality
I don’t hate Brooks…but I do hate bratty kids. I was really looking forward to seeing him more, after watching him being kind of cute and sassy at the beginning. However, to me, that turned very quickly into being condescending and somewhat controlling to his mom in a “know-it-all” sort of way. Maybe it was his voice…again, just so condescending all the time.
TT, you watch all these shows no matter how you feel. I get to take my time about it, which is why I’m often late in catching up. And I always appreciate your wit and your perspective. One thing I wish the SLC reunion would address is what is with that weird choir-type music they use. Stays with me longer than I need it to!
I am not the typical Housewives fan. I actually hate the drama & arguing. I watch for the clothes, the homes and the beautiful scenery of fabulous cities. I would watch them just have lunch and talk about the weather. Meredith is my absolute favorite housewife of all the cities. I love her coolness. Actually, I love all the SLC ladies with the exception of Jen. I can’t imagine ever having to deal with her. The only thing likeable about her, to me, is her husband & her sons. I don’t like anything about her. And, I hate her wardrobe and all that makeup and overdone hair.
Other than Jen, I love all the other ladies. Their arguments are just as ridiculous as the other franchises, but their way of fighting and handling themselves is much more sophisticated and far more palatable. (again, with the exception of Jen). Ugh, Tamara & Vicki screaming, the cattiness of Kyle & Rinna…….the Salt Lake City ladies just seem a cut above in their demeanor.
“Dismissive” is the perfect word for Lisa. She seems like the kind of person who is talking to you while scanning the room for someone more important to talk to. She’s insulted Whitney several times, talking about her “Utah” style of dressing, showing off her “middle school dance routine,” and getting mad that Whitney told her that the bartenders were super drunk. On IG it’s even worse. She’s accused Heather of marrying for the Mormon Royalty and said both Whitney and Heather are on the show for fame… as if there are altruistic reasons for joining a reality show.
The “roll footage” and “we’re not going to move on” comments show me that she is a control freak who needs to be in charge of any narrative she’s part of. It’s not Heather’s fault people don’t like her and send her mean messages. I don’t like her but it has zero to do with Heather’s comments about her. I actually wanted to like her because I also relate to being a working mom.
I was shocked at how Mary came in and called almost everyone out. She’s still weird and has an alleged cult but she handled herself well at the reunion.
Does anyone know what store they bleeped out that Whitney and Heather considered a dig from Lisa?
I sometimes forget about Meredith but I think she’s hiding a lot of things (obviously not her gorgeous rack tho). I’m interested to see what Jen will bring out about her next since she seems to like collecting secrets about her friends and using it against them.
Oh Snail – *ducks*, I like Lisa. Maybe it’s my NY upbringing – minus I grew up cooking when I was able to stand.
Is she mean, yes – but sadly/madly was much like her in my 30’s forging for my livelihood. I had no patience for meek/week persons, clearly not an admirable attribute.
Grew up wanting to know the devil I know – easy path, navigating. So many of the cast has so much baggage unearthed – felt she was the most honest & opening.
Plus best dressed, ….. Hopeful they go into the cult situation & the squirrel around her neck.
That’s okay! I can see her appeal. I want to like her because I identify with being a strong business woman in a man’s world and she gets shit done. I like that about her. I just wish she would own her attitude and snob I was a little more. The “if I give you a Chanel necklace…” comment was just… icky. If I gave someone a Chanel necklace and they choked on it, I’d be so sad. One, because they choked. Two, because why did I give them a Chanel necklace when I don’t even have one?
Could definitely be a regional thing tho. I was born and raised in the south where we all seem nice and then do something we like to call “gossip through prayer.” For example, “bless her heart did you see all that weight she gained? I just pray her husband doesn’t leave her for that woman he’s been cheating on her with…”
Been in TX, for a long while – sometimes my accent slips out.
Bless your heart , is basically Fuck You with a hint of delicacy.
Quite don’t know anyone who would gift a Chanel Necklace – nor talk about it if they did.
She is messy, but the rest – more questions.
I am a bit pissed that yankees are trying to tell us what Bless your heart means. Most of the time it is a kind statement. Other times we are being sarcastic. It is not always meant as a put down.
That can be true too. If my Nana says “bless her heart” it’s 100% genuine. If my 10th grade history teacher, Ms. Hayes said “bless her heart” you knew she was secretly glad at someone’s misfortune.
Well, some Yankees have moved south.
Adapted, however – not going to be schooled / on speech.
5 borough born, continue ..
Oh a damn yankee is in out prescence, lol.
The store that was bleeped was Nordstrom.
Jenn didn’t have plastic surgery??? Lol Google it.
TT-
So sorry to hear about the mess with your ‘friend’!!! (and the ‘cat women’ who jumped on whatever envy-train or hate-train they all seemed to have first-class tickets on…). When someone you invested in, and thought was a FRIEND, shows anger and hatred toward you it is horrifying!! You SHOULD feel bruised and assaulted. But remember that you gave yourself as an honest friend, you just assumed your friend would think the best of you rather than jump to be offended. As if your ‘friend’ were like a spider, just waiting for you to get stuck in a ‘web’ of potential ‘how-can-I-take-this-person-down’. A true friend would have tried to see the best of you and known you well enough that your apologies were genuine, and that you would never have intentionally insulted any one, nor any particular cultural practice. When people show you who they truly are, learn from it, thank them internally for preventing you from investing in them further, and know who you are in your heart. Do NOT let anyone else ever define you!
(As if you need MY two-cents’ worth…)
SLC looked great – they brought the fashion. Usually there is a ‘fashion-police alarm’ the first season of a RH reunion, but they all looked great!
Jen was so calm – I need whatever zen she is doing!!!
Heather was very strong and so bruised by whats-her-name? You know….the ‘Legend-in-Her-Own-Mind’ girl that seemed to think she was Andy Cohen’s stand in…how “dare” anyone have an opinion of her other than the one she demands everyone have! I love Heather, and feel she is a very loyal friend –
Mary made her points, but I am waiting for the cult-thing to drop…thank goodness she kept her ‘crazy-eyes’ at home!
Whitney was very good about being clear regarding what’s-her-name-again? Can’t wait for her to have a little more air in the room next week?
Meredith has been keeping things a bit close to her chest this first reunion show so far, and I feel like she is going to rain down on people next week…I feel for her (and so many of the ladies) as it must be very challenging to navigate a business, family, and marital ups-and-downs.
the episode seems crammed with commercials and crap…HATE that!
BTW- The recap of RHONJ was crazy!!! I am wondering what the heck will go down with those ladies this season – I think I saw blood on Jackie’s face during a preview? WAS I mistaken? YIKES!!!
I echo the wonderful words of support and encouragement given to you here. The elders in my family ate chicken feet-it is not exclusive to Asians. I have never had chicken feet and it doesn’t mean I hate my family or Asians. This guy was looking for something to hurt you all along. Calling you racist and other insults based on food shows he was just waiting for an opportunity to hurt you.
I am a black woman and I appreciate you. You are my friend in my head.
Is it bad that I like Meredith more now b/c she smokes?
I really have to wonder what Jen Shah has on Lisa. It seems odd to me that Lisa is going so hard in defense of Jen. Considering Merideth’s comment about Jen recording her smoking, I think Jen has something damning on Lisa. She was never that ride or die for Jen during filming, but now she is? It’s odd. They never showed Jen working on the show either. They featured Heather and Lisa working prominently on the show. That also seems odd that Jens work was not featured. Also, I love Heather. She was so raw and hope she can maintain that during a second season.
This may sound sort of nit picky, but when I think of “New Yorkers,” that means someone from the 5 boroughs, not someone who grew up in Albany, like Lisa did. I heard her on a podcast and she was even more conceited than she is on the show. There’s a difference between that and confidence. I am glad that she did not wind up being the “star” of the show, because that is what she clearly wanted. Her reaction to the Rhianna DM was telling. That being said, I find her much more tolerable than Jen Shaw.
The rest of the women are reality tv gold.
To all of us old people in the South, y’all are all yankees unless you are from around these parts, New Yorkers, Utahans, Californians. ALL OF Y’ALL. But really we just like to tease you, and we love most of you. Especially the ones who say living in yankee places.
Case in point, Charleston, SC. Yankees are ruining that city with their Starbucks, and national chains. The downtown Charleston marketplace that has been their since I dunno, the 1800 and before now resembles that giant mall in Minnesota than Charleston. I’m still furious from my last visit years ago. I cried when I saw the Starbucks.
Lisa is from Albany, not NYC as she implies? lolololol The armpit of NY. Where did she get the superior attitude?
I know that Mary and her church is a huge issue, but I have to say she handled herself with grace. She made a good example of seeing what she did wrong, and trying to change. She was very much the voice of reason the first episode. I’ll be very curious to know what she says about the church. No, I’m not condoning the church, but she did not come off as crazy at all at the reunion.
Marietta Mommy WHERE IN THE HOLY FUCK HAVE YOU BEEN!????
