OMG! HERE WE GO! It’s ALL HAPPENING on tonight’s RHOSLC RECAP! I am so excited for this episode. Sadly, there will be a two month flashback. Let’s hope those two months don’t take up too many episodes! We start with all the ladies arriving on a bus for the cast trip. But then, Jen gets a phone call. She just announces that she has to go. It is VERY interesting to me that Meredith, who HATES Jen Shan is going to meet them at their destination. I’m just stating facts. But, hypothetically, maybe Meredith knew not to be there when the Feds showed up for a reason. Also, who picked her up in that pickup truck? Maybe, Stuart? The Feds raid her house. The women on the bus read the news on their phones. All the women don’t answer the question about who tipped off the Feds. I’m quite sure it was Meredith. And I ain’t mad at her.
Then unfortunately we back up for TWO WHOLE MONTHS! Jen and her housewives BFF Lisa Barlow introduce us to her new “chateau” and Jen Shah gives a huge tour of the house documenting her giant closet full of very expensive items. Remember that dinner Jen hosted in season one where she gave every one like… I forget, but a bunch of designer shit? That too will come back to bite her in the ass just like Erika’s Girardi’s constant extravagant spending. If you have real money, you don’t talk about it or make such displays. God LORD these intros are literally the WORST ever.

Lisa the Queen of Disengaging makes a really bad decision to be BFF’s with Jen Shah. In other news, Meredith cut her hair so not we can tell Lisa and Meredith apart. Jen tells Lisa that after 26 years of marriage, Sharrieff threatened to divorce her during Covid. She puts her own spin on it, but I feel like if Meredith didn’t tell the Feds where to find her, he did. Lisa tries to compare her issues with Meredith and her relationship with Jen with Heather pointing out that she was a cunt to her the moment she joined the show? Now I wonder WTF Jen is covering up. At the end of that very odd conversation, Jen says, “Girl, you know I will go to jail for you. I haven’t been to jail yet.” WOW. Nice edit, production!
Let Them Eat Cake … Or Not
Meredith has also rented a second house to film in for the season. And Whitney comes by to see it. Most of not all of these women live in Park City, not Salt Lake City unless they are filming. Meredith says things with her marriage are good now. Whitney says that she has to annouce at a school on her oldest daughter’s Senior Night, what colleges she has been accepted to. I am already getting bored. Plus they didn’t give us many photos for this episode other than the first seven minutes. Whitney has her own product line and it is only season two. She says she is tired of sucking dick for money. She puts on a swimsuit for her husband’s birthday party in the hot tub. And then drops the whole cake. TWICE.

Next it is time for the other criminal on this show (ALLEDGEDLY!) Mother Mary Martha God Jesus Cosby. I feel like she could be cellmates with Jen Shah sooner rather than later. She has a podcast and no one cares. Mary and one of the guys on the podcast have some sort of prayer off. It’s ridiculous. The feds will be coming for that church soon. WHY DO SO MANY SCAMMERS GO ON REALITY TV AND OUT THEMSELVES? Also, my sources say that production thinks Mary is THE WORST. So they would all testify. It looks like Evian is sponsoring this season. Are their ad campaign people on the crack! OMG Project Runway commercials! Coming October 14th!
Meet Jen Shah’s Replacement
Feel like that Jennie Nguyen, the new housewife was hired to be the new Asian housewife for this franchise. But once they know Jen Shah was going to prison, they edited her with an intro that is very similar to Jen Shah. She’s definitely Jen’s replacement when she goes to prison. God, I hope Court TV airs that trial. Which reminds me the Durst closing statements resume tomorrow. I keep forgetting to watch. BTW my fellow Sidebar friends, the boring prosecutor is NOT doing the closing arguments. A MUCH less anal retentive prosecutor is. My initial reaction is that I love her. But she is BFF’s with Lisa who I find kind of annoying.

Jennie is from Vietnam and tells a horrific story about fleeing the country. That was followed up by her coming to America when she was 7. Her parents lied to the government about her age and told them she was five so she could start public school in kindergarten. THAT IS A GENIOUS MOVE for a parent. I have a lot of respect for that. She is actually friends with Lisa so that works well because, you know, her current BFF is going to prison.
I love Jennie’s commentary about Catholicism. I am Southern Baptist in the US and Catholic in Europe. Shut up! THAT IS TOO A THING! And I need a lot of help with my Catholic side in Europe. Mostly while quite drunk for Christmas mass. The old Catholic French ladies are always to kind to assist me. Her husband is a chiropractor.
Bionic Legs
Apparently some of Jen Shah’s ALLEDGEDLY stolen money went to buy her aunt “bionic legs” after they were amputated. So at least some good came from her ALLGEDED crimes. We get a lovely family scene with the family. None of them know they are in a house eating food ALLGEDEDLY gotten from ill-gotten funds.

Then Mary Martha Cosby meets with Whitney, Heather and Meredith meet at an outdoor bubble at a restaurant for lunch. Meredith shares that her father passed away. That is such a hard thing to deal with. 🙁 Last season both Heather and Mary Martha “I AM GOD” Crosby lost their fathers. Whitney says she has not spoken to Lisa or Jen (since last season). Heather says she understands that Lisa never really likes her. But that Jen is posting a lot of stuff on social media calling her a racist. This seems like it must have been filmed out of order. Heather says that Jen Shah acts like her friend to her face and then trashes her publicly.
The Ladies Question Lisa’s Relationship With Jen Shah
Mary reminds her that Jen Shah called her racists as well. Meredith says that Jen Shah calls her son Brooks homophobic slurs even though he has never identified his sexual preference. By the way, I’d appreciate it if some of you guys would stop posting homophobic slurs about Brooks here. They all talk about how Jen Shah only ally on the show is Lisa. This confirms my feeling that this was filmed after the fact.

We end this episode with Meredith and Lisa trying to talk it out on their own. I just need for them to fast forward as quickly as possible through these two months and get to the party where Jen Shah is arrested. Park City looks so beautiful. Meredith’s family celebrates Shabbat with Lisa and her family. Lisa is some kind of hybrid of Jewish and Mormon. How does that work. Lisa gives condolences to Meredith over the loss of her father. It appears Lisa and Meredith want to make up. But right off the bat Lisa wants Meredith to make up. That is not going to happen. Lisa continues to advocate for Jen Shah. But Meredith is not having people saying homophobic things about her family.
WWHL is with Mia and Heather tonight. I’ll recap anything of note in comments but I need to move on to Big Brother first. Lisa stupidly thinks Meredith being nice to Heather is the same of her being friends with a cunt who is a homophobic POS. Lisa is totally on the wrong side of this argument. And so we leave it with white Shabbat. And some previews that we have already seen.
Off to recap Big Brother. It’s been a long, long day.
I haven’t watched a show live in… years? But I cleared my evening so I wouldn’t have to wait to watch.
I read somewhere that Heather and Whitney are cousins. Can anyone confirm?
Well read that Her great grandmother and Whitney’s great grandfather were siblings, which makes them third cousins. The show doesn’t air yet here on west coast (Oregon) HUGS
They are, it was covered in season 1
I still need to visit Mary’s church here in Indy.
Let’s to together. What church is it in Indy?
It is Faith Temple. I don’t know that they are doing in person services but I feel it’s our duty to report to investigate lol
I think you definitely need to go and report back to all of us!! 😊
TT, can you send us each other emails so beerandy and I can go get Jesus with Mary? After the service, we can get a beer, Andy.
beerandy and Joey I would LOVE for you to investigate and report. I anxiously await and maybe ya’ll can get photos? 🙂
I suppose if you both email me tamaratattles on the G mail!
It was Mary, the other criminal, who held the lunch with the expensive gifts. That was when Jen said Mary wouldn’t go to 7-11 if black people were standing outside.
Thanks. I kind of forgot season one, Mercedes. lol. I kind of thought I might be wrong. Again production was more unhappy with Mary than they were with Jen according to my source. That’s kinda weird.
I have this problem a lot when my very good source gives me facts and they don’t quite line up with what they are giving us. I try to argue with my source. Or tell my source how stupid everything is. And I KEEP ON BADGERING my source because THINGS THE SUITS DECIDE TO DO DO NOT MAKE SENSE.
Imagine being the camera man who filmed the cake scene. How could you film that scene without busting out laughing. That cake had the most fun of the evening.
I don’t get this question of who ratted out Jen? I thought the Feds were investigating her for years, which would pre-date RHOSLC.
I loved the new Jennie’s story about how she met Lisa. I was touched by her story of how she and her family got to the US.
Yeah, by the time the Feds investigate you, they have been doing years of investigation and you are toast. I have anxiety about EVERYTHING. Paying my $30 dollar water bill gives me anxiety. I have the $30 .It takes less than five minutes to pay my bill but something makes me really freaked out about doing it. I have always been debt free. I don’t want to owe people shit. And I don’t.
wow Whitney was super drunk! At first I was annoyed that she ruined a good cake with her carelessness (I am a wanna be Martha Stewart) but she ended up dropping the cake I think 4 times! Hilarious.
I think the “ratted out” controversy is about who told the feds she would be on that bus at that time, while they proceeded to execute a search warrant and try to arrest her. TT’s comment that if it wasn’t Meredith it was Sharif (sp?) made me LOL. So did the cake scene. I really like Whitney, and her constant rebuilding of that cake made me like her even more.
Exactly the point, Lisa. They didn’t have a tail on Jen or they would not have gone to her house first. SOMEBODY had to tell them where she was. I don’t see why people just think the FEDS magically knew she was in a parking lot without someone telling them.
Tamara may have been joking about the spouse telling the FEDS but I think that’s a reasonable guess. Jen is spinning her version of why he wanted to divorce her but I think he either suspected or confirmed her alleged(do I still need to use that word because it feels like it’s now proven) criminal activity so he then wanted to grab a life boat and exit the Titanic, LOL.
Oh I wasn’t joking at all. He will be divorcing her. He story was bullshit.
Heather said on WWHL that she knew about Jen’s business but she still supports her. I still can’t stand Lisa. She’s a phony. I hope Meredith did turn Jen in.
I have to say that I loved production being very shady with Shah Chalet 2.0. They basically stood in one place and showed the living room, dining room and bedroom with the “sitcom” type music and then did a panoramic shot of the closet with a hymnal, making sure to scan every shoe, bag, clothing rack and accessories. And then Jen bragged in her talking head about the mover’s comments on her clothes! Best part of the episode for me. I cringed over the discussion about the Shah’s marriage and Jen’s explanation all wrapped up in a pretty package with a bow. Would love for Meredith to ask Jen where the coach was getting some since he wasn’t with her. Feeling a bit badly about my snarky comments about Brooks last season but they were about his sense of entitlement and wanting camera time but not about his sexuality. Meredith obviously values her friendship with Lisa because she is being more understanding than I would. It was great to have the season start but already felt like a filler. Hopefully will pick up steam soon!
I hate that people want to trash talk Brooks. He may technically be an “adult’ and free game as an “adult.” But how would you feel if your mother was suddenly on reality TV when you were in that part of life. I feel like he is trying to make the best of it and capitalize where he can. As a cranky GET THE FUCK OFF THE GRASS!!!! Old lady, I am asking that you guys take in easy on a young man who is still learning about who he is.
I’ve been reading Tamara Tattles for a while & this is the absolute best comment on TT, from TT herself… that I can recall. And there have been quite a few gems..
yess. My first time commenting, which I suppose is very obvious.
When I was his age, I needed my parents to still guide me about what’s acceptable and not acceptable to say also. He’s still got a shot with turning that around for himself. Hopefully now he’s learned he might receive some Hefty push back if he talks about another woman’s vagina like he did. That said, Jen has absolutely no excuse as a mature adult with those raging lunatic Tantrums she throws. I know it’s a reality TV show set for drama, but there’s no way on God’s green earth I would let that woman ever around in my presence
Brooks simply pointed out that he didn’t need his mother’s friend in his house flashing her vagina. That is Brooks GUIDING HIS MOTHER on what is acceptable and what is not.
I think that is a reasonable request.
It’s absolutely is reasonable, and warranted. Jen hasn’t any healthy boundaries and she (apparently) requires other people do that for her; up to and including the Federal Prison system.
Brooks has more sense in his big toe, and it’s totally diagnostic of Jen to push this kid into a power struggle. She’s literally not able to control her behavior.
Agree my so is also young twenties & so afraid of being gay! Hugs to all especially TT for all you do & are! Yup bills suck, especially after my sis burnt my mom’s house down Allstate bites also!
Excited to see RHOSLC back on our screens. Great see the all the ladies come back… even Mary Cosby. I would love to know more about Jennie coming to America. I always find stories of people coming to America interesting. Despite what Jen Shaw has done I understand her aunt situation and having a party with her for her son. My best friend is growing up is also Tongan like Jen. My BFF always had family events which I appreciate the closeness. It seems like the ladies are still not the happiest with Jen. I was surprised to see tension with Meredith and Lisa but understand why Meredith is on the defensive for Brooks that’s her child. I personally don’t like Brooks because of his elitist attitude. I could care less about his orientation. Overall looking forward to this season
The feds do not need to be “tipped off” to the whereabouts of a person who is on reality television .. years worth of investigation plus a WHOLE ENTIRE PROUDCTION team and network are fully aware of where the cast is during filming.. additionally they want to be as far removed as they legally can from any involvement regarding illegal behavior from their cast members. They will talk to save themselves. I think Jen’s husband knew this would all come to a head in due time… he does have a law background!! Plus he’s probably thinking like Bravo, save self first!! He wants zero part of her illegal shenanigans…
You do know the difference between REAL TIME and TV time right? The ladies were going on a trip. They all got into the bus/ban/whatever. The Feds certainly know what she did. They have extensive resources. But Jen Shah was pissed off because She was sitting in a parking lot out side or the Plastic Place or whatever they called it. Even Jen was tipped off. You really think the Feds are monitoring Jen Shahs ever move? While her prison time will be long, she is not someone who gets the full force of the FBI. They raided her house and also just knew she was going to be in a particular parking lot?
Unfortunately, we have a lot of regular RH drama we have to get through before we can focus on how shitty of a criminal is later. What is not in question is that SOMEONE TOLD HER WHERE SHE WAS. And also she fled the scene because she knew she was guilty. And so does her husband and that is why she is left the bus.
I am probably being obtuse but I still don’t understand why one of the women *had* to be the source for where she could be arrested.
The FBI or Feds would have contacted BRAVO to find out her shooting schedule – why would they need to contact one of the housewives for that information?
Judging by the manner in which they have arrested other people it is generally something planned in advance and they don’t just send out two agents in a car especially since I thought they also had a raid with search warrants at the same time.
The could have attempted an arrest at the Chalet and someone at the house could have said she wasn’t there and the FBI could very easily have contacted BRAVO.
It seems very strange that the FBI would have relied on a housewife to let them know where she was when they had better sources. And BRAVO would be all in favor of being able to film the arrest for the show.
And even if Meredith had alerted the Feds as to where they were shooting. What is the big deal as the arrest was inevitable. If the FBI contacted me and asked where one of my co-workers was going to be on a certain day, I would have provided that information.
Agreed…FBI did not need to get with one of the other ladies. If they are putting a case of wired fraud and money laundering together, they know all sorts of things already. I’m sure they know where all of her family members live, her daily routines, etc. And I would not be surprised if they have some of their agents follow her on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and anything else she is on. She had probably posted things about her trip and when she was leaving. Do we know if they were leaving the county? Could be why they pounced her at that time.
They were not leaving the country. They were in a van. Mary was going to meet them there.
I think it’s pretty clear that it was her husband. How would Meredith have known in advance that something was going down and why would the FBI reach out to her? It was her own husband.
So glad SLC is back. I feel like franchises should have 10 years and then be put out to pasture. SLC and Potomac are still at different points of growth, and still super entertaining. And yes BH is still good too, but w/o the Erika drama it would probably be a snooze fest.
I would rather Bravo launch new franchises, than beat a franchise horse to death by re-booting Atlanta, NYC, and OC, etc, etc.
I love that this season opened just like Beverly Hills did! Cameras witnessing closets filled with obscene amounts of expensive clothing and shoes. I couldn’t believe how many pairs of boots there were in Jen’s closet. Can you imagine how much just the boots cost?
I’m most excited about seeing how the women treat Jen Shah knowing she’s going through a criminal investigation and compare it to the fox force five’s treatment of Erika in Beverly Hills. You don’t want to associate with a criminal because you can get subpoenaed anytime to answer questions. And we all learned with Erika that the documented legal issues were public information years before the criminal case came to light. While it’s commendable to stick by a friend in tough times, why would you stick by someone who has so many lawsuits and is being investigated by the feds? Ugh, I keep hearing Dorinda’s voice saying money talks and wealth whispers. Jen Shah and Mary are so ostentatious about their money. Where’s Mary’s criminal investigation? They dug themselves in deep.
I definitely know the difference between real time and TV time and do not believe that the feds are putting all of their energy and time into only her. My point was that her whereabouts are easily accessible.. she’d be easy to find.. that’s all. Smh… I know now not to comment anymore…. definitely not trying to get chewed out because I made a general statement. I do believe that there are more ways (other than her husband and Meredith) they found out where she was at that exact time… that’s all… enjoy your day.
If you have a warrant for a home raid, the you almost definitely have a warrant to see where someone is via smartphone.
The hate brooks gets really bothers me. So many people showed their completely homophobic ass last season, and now I’m watching them all defend him in the name of hating Jen Shah. It’s okay to not like someone who is gay. But being gay a character trait, and definitely not something that can define if someone is a good or bad person(i could have sworn we had moved past this in the age of the internet), so to use it as one reveals a lot about someone’s education and life experiences. Anyway thanks Tamara for sticking up for us in a REAL way. 💜
the”hate” Brooks get has everything to do with his condescending attitude and nothing to do with his being gay.
He has not indicated any sexual preference on the show, and yet, the homophobic remarks continue. He’s 21 and behaves much better that most of the housewives. Yet he gets a ridiculous amount of grown folks trashing him.
Wonder why that is?
Thanks for update…I’m in Quebec and cannot get the show. I can however watch Baywatch 24 7 365….ditto Degrassi, Deal or no deal and Maury. 😂😂😂
Will watch when I get back to English Canada!!
You should get a private VPN so you can watch RHOSLC anywhere you are.
Bravo uploads the first episode of every season on their YouTube channel for free if you can’t find it elsewhere 🙂
One of the little things I really appreciate about these ladies is they eat. Like RHOA and Shahs, food is a celebration and even if folks are fighting or getting arrested, they enjoy the spread. Since COVID, I have discovered food is community. Hubs and I eat all our meals together. Anyway, I’m rambling. Loved the show and the cake scene! Whitney was wasted! So funny!
Meredith has cut her hair and gained ten pounds. She looks so much better! I am interested in her story this season. Mama bear is always a good look.
Heather had one of the best lines. “If I do not order, I will be splitting a side salad with Mary.” LOL!!!
Yes! Heather loves her food: meat is medicine. Lol
I can’t get over in the preview where Jen is standing over Meredith thisclose with her finger in Meredith’s face screaming and threatening her. You have been arrested by the feds and now you doing this? Her lack of self awareness is mind boggling.
Does anyone have idea what you think will happen on reunion? Absolutely can’t wait for the reunion and to read Tamara’s re-cap! HUGS TO ALL!
LOL dude, we are on episode ONE. LOL. But yes, the reunion will be epic. But it has not happened yet.
Realized again how much Lisa “I LOVE this” Barlow comes close to ruining the show for me. Not quite enough (hopefully) to not want to see what happens with Jen.
And then there’s Mary, with the embodiment of Christian values: “If you come for me, I will send Jesus after you.” So classy. Jesus as her henchman.
