Y’all, I am so pissed that despite adding 30 extra minutes to my Big Brother recording, I didn’t get to see the end. Hopefully, I can watch it on demand tomorrow. In the mean time I will not be going to comments in the BB forums. Let me try to get through this RHOSLC recap when all I really want to do is sleep like the dead.
I love that Jen Shah is so pressed about Lisa Barlow. LOL. She knows she looks like a fool and is trying hard to fix that. Spoiler alert, it will not work. OOh Jen Shah is planning an outing. WAIT! WTF? Is she asking her buddy Lisa and the other girls for their full name on their IDs, weight, height eye color and hair color? Was she stealing their identities too? This woman is batshit crazy. Lisa is going to be losing tons of people who like her because of all of her scenes with Jen. Frankly, I’m Team Meredith.
Jen Shah’s son wants to move out of the Alice In Wonderland House. She wants him to join the military. That seems really strange coming from her. The very best person on this franchise is Jennie’s daughter, Karlyn. She is also the smartest person on the show. All of her kids are really cute though. Jennie’s husband wants more kids, but she has had NINE MISCARRIAGES and three c-sections and she is done. My God leave this woman’s uterus alone!
Heather’s daughter is about to head off for college. She is ready to get the heck out and not go to the Mormon church anymore. One of her daughters wants to go back the Mormon church and she offers to go back with her.

Meredith is doing some sort of fashion think and invites Mary to come to a preview. Does ANYONE on this show really like Mary? I feel like she is only on this show because they want to expose the cult leader. You cannot tell me that any of these women would be friends with Mary without the show. Meredith is my favorite person on the show, but I hate her sense of “fashion.” Why is Brooks so interested in talking to Mary? Mary is so weird I can’t even tell you about it. Who announces they need to fart? Again, I feel like I am in a dream.
Jen’s Ice Fishing Excursion
First of all does anyone on planet earth believe that Jen Shah would plan an ice fishing activity? I think I many actually be on acid. I did a tiny bit on a trip to the redneck riviera and we watched TV and I was like, is this all really happening on tv? That is how I feel right now. Heather and Whitney are both not looking forward to seeing Lisa. I must have forgotten whatever drama they have. Meredith shows up somewhat unexpectedly and I have no idea why everyone including Meredith herself is so shocked to be there. But, clearly I am about to find out because something is about to go down. Oh she is going to come for Jen Shah. YAY!

Meredith talks to Jen Shah about her homophobic tweets on Twitter. She denies it. Meredith pulls out the receipts. Jen Shah claims she doesn’t run her twitter account. That could be possible. I don’t run my Instagram account (because I have no cellphone). However, I do think Jen Shah is a homophobic POS and I wish Meredith would just punch her in the face rather than maturely walking away. Meredith is over her and leaves. Jen Shah plays the victim. Sorry for the shitty recaps tonight. It’s been a bad day over here.
Wait, I thought it was Mary’s son wanting to move out.
Sorry you have had a bad day, I hope all your reconstruction issues are over with by now. I haven’t watched just yet, I like to read your recaps then watch and reread your recaps. It helps me understand this show. These ladies are over the top! Hope your day gets better!
I don’t condone Jen’s tweets or behaviour because she is despicable.
I did laugh though when Meredith said her son was a “22 year old child. Maybe a “22 year old child” shouldn’t be involved in grown women business because Brooks was very opinionated last season. Maybe he shouldn’t be trying so hard to share that snowflake with his mom.
I understand Meredith is upset with Jen re the twitter remarks about Brooks. But IMO she is only putting his sexuality in more of a spotlight. Her repeatedly saying he has not decided etc etc — is it because she is embarrassed that he might (?) be gay? She continues to put in squarely on the show.
While Jen may not run her twitter (which I doubt), she clearly has been shining a light on Brooks. Why are some of these women so stupid about twitter?
Mary is nuts. She was funny about reacting to Meredith’s clothing line. While she does look a hot mess, Mary does have all tte designer clothing. She is often in head-to-toe Chanel. And the stuff pulled off that rack were fugly.
I can’t believe Heather wants her daughter to attend a “party” college? Does she just expect her to get married after college?
Meredith explained on WWHL that “equality” to her means her son not having to “come out” to her as gay, or him having to feel like he has to explain his sexuality to his parents. Whatever it is, doesn’t change the fact that he’s her son and she loves him. Just like straight people don’t sit their parents down and say, mom and dad… i am straight. Meredith feels like Brooks shouldn’t have to do that either, whenever it is that he decides for himself.
I think no matter what age, a momma bear always protects her cub, and really the most infuriating part about it all is how Jen Shah cries, plays the victim, and turns it around back on herself when it should never have gone this far. When she cries, what about my sons?! and Meredith asks her, What did i do to your sons? And Jen Shah cant provide a response, it’s just another example of her having zero empathy for the pain she puts others through and just how selfish and narcissistic she is. As a mother, it made my blood boil that this grown woman was choosing to join the Brooks hate bandwagon.
Be the bigger person. Apologize, have whoever is handling your twitter STOP liking those mean tweets, and put it to bed!
I wish Meredith wouldn’t have Brooks on the show. If he is receiving negative comments, then momma bear your child by not putting him on a reality tv show. Why does he need to have a scene with Mary and Mary farting in front of him??? Disgusting. I hope this doesn’t turn into a story line next year.
yes this too… i think it started out as a way for her to help him gain exposure for his clothing line, and after the fiasco of last year, maybe they thought he needed to redeem himself? i don’t know, but yes, not being on the show would have helped too!
All of these comments, yes! Brooks needs a grownup to protect him from reality TV.
Ugh and how flipping crazy Mary needed complete silence so she could do that…. like what on Earth!!!?
I was upset that none of the other women jumped in to call out Jen Shah on her lies. Meredith was clearly being gaslighted. Your name is on the Twitter so whoever runs it, the buck stops with you and this has been going on for a while. Heather has experienced the same thing and expressed the same reaction. Regardless of Brook’s age or behavior, Jen is wrong. Take away Brooks wanting to have a snowflake or whatever he hopes to gain out of his mom’s role on the show, no one who is a “friend” should be liking these comments and being mean … especially about someone’s sexuality. Jen Shah is a horrible person (so is Mary) and the group should’ve confronted Jen about her social media bs with Heather and Brooks. I’m disappointed in Heather … I’d really like to see her think more of herself. If I heard Jen say “what are you talking about?” one more time, I would’ve lost it. Classic deflection and gaslighting. Jen got what she wanted … Meredith disengaged. It surprised me that Jennie was the one who jumped in. And, btw, I agree .. leave her uterus alone!
“Your name is on the Twitter so whoever runs it, the buck stops with you and this has been going on for a while.”
THIS SO MUCH! If your name is on it, you own what is done under that account. You do not get to hide behind fourth assistant.
I’m getting bored with this bunch. It is the same damn fights over and over. Jen is toxic sludge.
~APG~
Heather is so open about her Mormon identity and the challenges she’s faced within her religion/culture. I love how real she is and how more she wants in life for her daughters. I also appreciate that she supports her younger daughter’s desire to remain in the church. It seems like last season there was more talk about Mormon identity, not much of that this year.
I like some of the items in Mary’s closet. She’s big on high fashion, I’d never wear any of that, but it’s fun. Speaking of fashion, Brook’s mom’s blazers are not a look. It’s overkill. I also think if Brooks wants to be left alone, maybe he shouldn’t be on the show. I’m against all homophobia, so this is beyond that conversation. Mary’s son is a sweet young kid (and he doesn’t make any of the scenes about him) and no one cares about him because kids on Housewives are meant to be accessories, they aren’t main characters. Brooks doesn’t deserve any of the homophobic backlash, but at 22 he needs to decide where his place is on the show. I think he needs the attention (I’m not talking about the negative commentary he’s getting) to promote his clothing line. There’s a fine line and he isn’t toeing it correctly.
Hi TT, You can get YouTubeTV from a friend for free. People who pay for it are allowed a certain number of subscribers on their account. I watch all the “housewives” with it.
I only mention this because it might make your life easier when you’re recapping a show.
Although, you seem to be doing great with what you have now.
The number of people here saying that Brooks should not be on the show is appalling. There plenty of kids on housewives shows. Vicki’s kid was practically a housewife! On RHOBH Yolanda’s girls were on all the time. Tamara’s jerk of a kid was on RHOOC. Nobody was telling them to stay out of grown folks business. The kid is filming with his MOTHER.
The nasty comments about him are making me not want to recap this franchise at all because all people do in comments is whine about Brooks. It’s truly disgusting.
I agree. Housewives have always had an unwritten rule that you don’t go after children.
That Jen Shaw isn’t following it is another creepy character flaw.
I hope my earlier comments didn’t come across as nasty towards Brooks because that wasn’t my intention at all. I think it’s a really sensitive topic for him as a young adult and Jen Shah is being really gross about it.
I don’t understand or get why people say Brooks has an elitist attitude. There are probably over 500 individuals that have been on a Bravo show that are worse. TT, we must be watching a different show. The the whole “I’m not excusing Jen Shah, BUT” statements are bonkers to me.
Jen is so exhausting.
You do not as a HW go after the kids of a HW ever ever ever! Even if they are acting bratty enough to seem like they deserve it (which IMO Brooks is not even close to).
If a social media manager does something under your name against someone you are still responsible for that comment/like/retweet. Having someone on your payroll is not a get out of apology free card if something nasty is done on your twitter account.
Jen’s emotional manipulation was out of control when confronted by Heather last week and again by Meredith this week. They come to her with real reasons to be upset and Jen turns around and tries to make it about her feelings because Jen doesn’t like the feeling of having to say sorry to someone. GMAB.
Meredith’s anger is completely justified. No one should comment on her child. If Jen talked about my kids she’d be in more trouble than “disengagement.”
Brooks is a very young 22. Boys grow up more slowly sometimes—especially very intelligent and artistic boys. I think he is adorable.
I am Team Meredith. Don’t like her greasy chest, but mama bear is her best event.
Thank you for defending Brooks, Tamara, and please don’t stop recapping RHOSLC. I like your recaps more than I like the show. I love that Meredith is so protective of him. I prefer that over the scene with Mary & her son in the restaurant where she was forcing him to pray out loud before she’d let him eat his food.
What was up with her making him say it louder & louder??? No wonder the boy wants to move out.
Everyone knows you do not watch tv on acid. Don’t ask me how I know this. And if there’s a beach outside! It’s been too long, I think I may have “one more trip” left in me. I’m a quarter hit kind of girl, my mind will take over from there.
I’m new to SLC, taking it all in- who are these people?
Brooks answering producer questions in a confessional last season does not excuse anyone’s homophobia. What it does is rationalize it.
Jen’s problem is far bigger than social media homophobia though. She is sitting there fully convinced she has done nothing wrong and angry at anyone in touch with actual reality. Mary gets called crazy a lot but Jen is completely nuts. The unflattering edit she is getting is also quite the sign that they are setting up a hard fall for Jen. She might want to start studying Siggy Flicker’s housewives career because her very entertaining downfall breathed new life into Jersey, and Jen is walking straight into the same grave.
Yep, and also I really like Brooks. He has a very healthy measure of physical and emotional boundaries. That alone triggered Jen into acting out. Narcissists love to get the (especially offended, ugly, angry) reaction, which unfortunately Brooks, and Meredith gave her. And she knew exactly where to hit Brooks as to maximally offend, and trigger him. That’s low, low, low level shite to do to a young man and incite public ridicule.
It’s so obvious they cast for this dynamic, and it IS fascinating to watch. These narcs have no real empathy or center of identity. So everyday is a course in defensive, sliding personality, to hook someone into performing for them so they can feel (or at least watch) what it’s like to be an X type of human. Then they go use it to mirror in their next conversation. If you pay attention Jen uses the phrases she picks out (by other people) that make her sound way smarter than she is. That’s why she blew such a gasket at the last reunion; it shortened her rebound response time. She didn’t have enough core self identity to check for an honest response. It shorted her out, because it exposed her to her own emptiness and the empty soul she is.
Sorry for the rant.
Maybe you all don’t watch RHOA or don’t remember…..but the FIRST time She by Sheree` got booted off housewives is because of some disparaging things she said about Nene’s oldest son, Bryson. LEAVE PEOPLE’S CHILDREN ALONE……EVEN IF THEY COME FOR YOU (though I wouldn’t go as far as to say that Brooks CAME for Jen). Hold the child’s PARENT responsible for whatever is said and/or done to you by the child. In that way, you keep the fight fair.
I think Jen’s vagina came for Brooks and he was horrified. Smart man.
I also recall NeNe going after Kim Z’s then 20yr old daughter Brielle. Nene said: “We don’t have roaches! If you found 1, u brought it with u or it fell outta yo funky p***y! Please know I will get You all the way together when you start f**king wit me and mine!,” NeNe wrote alongside Brielle’s Snapchat videos. “Go somewhere and let the air outta those fake lips, fake titties and fake a** because you will never be @kylejenner Yo trashy mama should have taught you better! My home is Brand New but you guys were so jealous of it, you couldn’t even give a compliment. You had to stoop so low and be so disgusting #racisttrash #jealous #KKK #thirsty you better run yo a** back to a child’s place #youwannaactgrown?”
Shah isn’t homophobic ..she’s homoHATER
Remember that Lisa is “Mormon 2.0” and Meredith is Mormon too. This religion is actively homophobic, even today. Remember Prop 8? Boy I do! Even very recently, the Mormon church hasn’t budged on this issue.
Lisa’s storyline (once Jen is in the clink) seems like it could be headed towards the homophobia of the church.
From the jump, Lisa’s choices have been not Mormon. One shoulder top (no garments), selling tequila, it’s all intentional. I am ABSOLUTELY HERE for taking on the church. If this storyline is setting that up, then great!
No it is not. And Lisa has nothing to do with this. Jen Shah is not Mormon, she a homophobic criminal who harrasses Brooks on social media to the point that many sites are shutting down comments on RHOSLC posts to avoid the homphobic shit y’all seem to gleefully, or ignorantly post about Brooks. Someone emailed me to let me know that Reddit has shut down comments on RHOSLC post for similar comments. It’s infuriating behavior to see from you guys.
I think I’m saying the opposite of what you think I am.
Prop 8 was one of the reasons a family member close to me left the Mormon church. I’m close to this topic. It’s an active political statement by the Mormon church, to the point of spending millions publicly lobbying against equal rights. The church has never backed off this position or apologized for Prop 8.
I always thought this franchise was set up to take on bigoted Mormon views. Maybe I’m wrong?
Before all this Jen stuff was public, this makes sense to me in the overall arch of the anti-Mormon storyline (also Heather’s storyline). It’s not really about Jen. I mean I think I counted like a dozen things Lisa did to signal this in the first episode, but I can’t tell them apart, so it could have been meredith (also Mormon).
This is the best franchise on, and your coverage is awesome!
