Before we get to tonight’s RHOSLC recap, I have a couple of related things to mention. First, once again, this was listed as a reunion AGAIN by Spectrum. But, even weirder the episode description for the second part of the reunion is “Mary reveals intimate details about her marriage and sets the record straight about about her church.” Mary did not show up! Was this the plan for tonight’s show? Also, FYI Stu Chains plea deal was finally signed off on and an agreement was reached. I’m not sure what lesser charges they let him have. But, he won’t be sentenced until after he testifies against Jen. God I hope Jen’s trial is on Court TV. Jen’s trial keeps getting pushed back.
WHY? JUST WHY?
Lisa Barlow reminds me of that bitch on MAFS who has to keep telling everyone what a good person she is. The random screaming is driving me nuts only three minutes in. It’s hard to care what Jennie says at this point. Lisa Barlow claims to have had important conversations with Mary when they were in Zion, or wherever they were. For example, she asked Mary if she smoked pot. This really reminds me of the time I took a microdose of acid while on a Spring Break Trip with my neighbor the frat boy who was always in his apartment doing acid and watching TV Evangelists. Something about watching their hands make trails or something. Only, that was slightly more interesting to me.

I cannot believe these people are still arguing about Meredith’s father’s memorial. I believe Meredith. Lisa Barlow is a lying, liar who lies. Or perhaps they both are. But, I don’t think Meredith would lie about this. Andy Even Andy has had enough of this. As they break for lunch, Lisa Barlow turns to Meredith and says she didn’t call her because she thought it would be better to say it to everyone at once. I have no idea what she is talking about. Then Lisa Barlow goes OFF on production in the trailer for including her rant against Meredith on the show. Now everyone will hate her! #Newbies Meanwhile, Heather is me. She tells her glam team she feels like she is in the Twilight Zone. SAME! Jen talks to Sharrieff in person. Meredith facetimes her husband.
Are We Really Going To Keep Disrespecting The Dead?
After the break, we talk about Mary and all the mean texts she has sent out to her castmates. It’s all very “raise your hand if you have ever been personally victimized by Regina George.” I’m starting to feel like I’ve already recapped this. Are all the episodes the same or could I be watching American Idol and singing to Banjo? Maybe this was in the previews? But I have seen this before. Why are we going to argue about Cameron. Lisa Barlow “cries’ about Cameron dying of brain cancer. Then she lies about him being a board member of the foster child charity that he was invited to. She says yes. Everyone else says that is not true. So why was he there for filming?

Then Lisa says that he was “in process of becoming a board member.” Whitney has the receipts. Whitney says that Lisa invited him to tell Whitney about him allegedly donating $300K to Mary after mortgaging his house. Lisa said she got the numbers wrong but when he died he had an expensive house. So why was he there “picking up supplies he needed for his foster kids?” Lisa is lying. Meredith called her out on in and says she told her off camera that he gave Mary $30,000. Mary told her the same thing. Either way, Mary is a scammer. Are we really going to bring up Cameran’s affair with Mary on national TV? Apparently, so. This seems so wrong. Now Lisa claims she has texts from Cameran that she wants to read online.
The Kids Are Alright, But The Mamas Are Not.
Next we talk about the kids. I will miss Jennie’s kids they are adorable. Everyone gives an update on the kids. Jen Shah says that the problems between Lisa Barlow and Meredith are because Meredith was suddenly on Mary’s side in all of the fighting. Lisa Barlow and Meredith talk about their disagreement at dinner that led to Lisa Barlow taking her microphone off and going off about Meredith. Meredith says that after ten years of friendship she cannot believe Lisa’s treatment of her. Meredith cries when she explains that Lisa never called to check on her when her father was dying or after he passed. She called her two days later and invited her to Shabbat dinner and all she did was attack her regarding Lisa’s relationship with Jen.

Then Heather said that Lisa didn’t check on her when her father died either. She says that Lisa texted her two days after he died and said, “I hope your dad is feeling better.” Meredith reads a texts where she reaches out to Lisa to be a friend to her because she was grieving and needed support. Lisa didn’t bother to check on her and instead went on the whole “whore tirade.” Lisa Barlow tries to say she was there for Meredith. Andy reminds her that she was not and reads the entire whore tirade to her out loud. That’s not being a friend. Finally, Lisa sort of apologizes. Even Jen Shah points out that she sucks a apologizing. All of them say she has also trashed all of them.
Heather says that Lisa Barlow has no idea how to apologize. Lisa Barlow starts sobbing and screaming about how everyone here wants to “break her all the time.” That’s the problem. She really thinks she is the victim. Lisa Barlow wants to make up with Meredith. But, she has had less than two days to process the tirade. She’s not ready. Meredith says she has her own information about who every one else is sleeping with. Meredith and Jen deny the rumors about them sleeping with the same guy. I believe it. They go to a break and Lisa again attempt damage control with Meredith and it doesn’t fly. Thanks so much for reading. I’m going to try to do a brief recap of Kandi and the Gang so I can sing to Banjo during American Idol. So don’t expect much. New episodes are hard.
Meredith’s outfit is crazy, but I still love her. I literally said ” I’m dis engaged from this conversation” two night ago. I said that to my crazy ex boyfriend of 18 years ago. It was stupid of me, and now I know.
I was kind of impressed she was not doing the Little Triangle folded tissue dabbing her eyes she was full on wiping her tears
thanks for the great recap! Lisa is so full of shit, and I am so glad Meredith did not forgive her, I dont know how Lisa will ever get a friendship back from that. It was so vile, that tirade. Also she opens and closes her mouth like a puppet, it is distracting but also funny to watch.
They wasted way too much time with the bickering, I want to her what Jen Shah has to say. Thanks for the update on Stu Chains, I was looking it up the other day because I heard his sentencing was last week but could not find anything. I am bummed the trial is delayed, I was all excited for it.
Hah! Like a puppet, YES!!
Lisa never has tears when she cries. Is this because of Botox or is she fake crying? Lisa doesn’t get it, she isn’t the victim. I used to love this show during the beginning and middle of the season, but the end of the season and reunion are not keeping me interested. Instead of a season 3, Bravo should air Jen’s court trial Or do a “pillow talk” of the cast talking about her trial while watching it because right now I don’t care if there is a 3rd season.
I don’t think this episode was necessary. Bravo just wanted to drag it out for 3 episodes. Seems to be the Bravo trend lately – to have 3-4 episode reunions when 2 would suffice.
Jennie barely said a word. Now Im wondering she knew she was going but they needed her as a seater saver because Mary backed out .. I really couldn’t pay much attention as I was transfixed by Lisa’s weird shiny shoulder..
It was Lisa’s Cheetos spray tanned shiny baby oil legs that were disconcerting to me.
When did greasing up your legs become a thing? It’s so gross. Dry skin? Use some lotion. but the whole greasing up thing is weird to me.
This reminds me of when Adrienne Maloof was using her wipe on “tanning sheets” and went to LVP’s house and sat her mini-skirted butt and thighs on Lisa’s white couch and left orange tanner all over it. LVP said she had to throw the couch away because it couldn’t be cleaned off. Good times!
Why can’t Meredith shed a tear? She cries and not one wet tear. Hmmmmm.
Meredith is totally justified in her feelings towards Lisa, and did a great job of making her case last night. However, Whitney and Heather seem exceptionally focused on tearing Lisa down. Heather really seems to be playing both sides, with saying she loves her but then continuously coming for her. Which is weird because as she admitted last night, she sticks with Jen no matter how nasty she is to her.
All of the Cameron stuff seemed unnecessary, given he is deceased. Lisa posted a tribute from Utah Foster Care explaining that Cameron was slated for the board, but then his health took a turn. The other ladies attacking that was pretty gross. There is plenty to attack that doesn’t involve a dead man’s accomplishments.
I think it’s Heather makes an effort with Lisa during the season and then watches it and finds out all the talking Lisa does behind her back and no genuine apology.
Not a fan of Lisa or Meredith. Shallow women whose voices are like nails on chalkboard. This whole group is out of sync. Heather, who I liked at first, seems to have 2 sides and shade of mean girl. Whitney is smarter that she appears, but acts like an obsessed lunatic for production. Jen…worst of the bunch. Mary & Jen , good riddance.
100% agree with your take.
I believe that they are still filming Season 3, right? For season 2 i think they started filming late January and went thru mid-May…they were in Zion for their big Mother’s Day “present” I think they were just a couple weeks in to filming when Jennie got kicked to the curb. And now with Jen’s trial getting ready to start…which, remember that when it is a federal trial and television coverage is not allowed in federal courts…they will basically be losing any filming of Jen Shaw. Do we know if there have been any benchwarmers that Coach Bravo is putting in to play within the season? Otherwise it is just going to be Meredith, Lisa, Whitney and Heather for now thru May. Seems like Angie could slide in if she wanted to.
Jen’s trial just got pushed back until July, so I’m sure she’ll finish out filming this next season.
I cannot for the life of me believe what a venomous conniving thieving cheating nasty human being Mary is. Of course she was cheating with Cameron. I wouldn’t put one thing past that manipulative predator. Yes, that’s what she is, a snake oil con artist who hides behind and uses religion to get whatever it is that she wants
Correct me if I’m wrong- Meredith said when Lisa called her from the sprinter that she was in the bath at the hotel. WHY then would she take a bath at the house shortly after?!?
Meredith Never denied sleeping with the same guy as Jen- she skirted it and said she hadn’t been with anyone but Seth in 2 years.
If Lisa were a good friend she would have AT LEAST called Meredith to apologize before the reunion. She really should have confessed it to her a long time ago knowing that it would air. Lisa only cares about her image and is in damage control mode, nothing else.
I love Lisa!
“Lisa Barlow reminds me of that bitch on MAFS who has to keep telling everyone what a good person she is” Just starting to read your recap and I burst out laughing at work and turned a couple of heads. Love love! Thanks for the laugh 🙂
I do not like Lisa at all. She loves her faith (which I have no problem with anyone who loves and follows their religion). However, I think she uses it to declare herself as being “perfect” and beyond reproach. Obviously, no one is, regardless of who/what/where they pray. I’m actually happy she was called out by so many of her “friends”. In my opinion, she needed the reality check and to realize that even though she loves herself so much, she doesn’t need anyone else’s love, she needs to understand that no one else considers her “perfect”. Her and Teresa (RHNJ) need to let go of their TV lives and go back to obscurity.
