The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City (S5)

- I’m still a little Stanwyn but she kinda flopped running back to Lisa to tattle on the girls who would’ve definitely been her allies next season.

- Streets are saying she got eviscerated at the reunion and all the girls went to dinner aside from her.. even Britani got an invite!

- I too, like Meredith, love to take INNAnational flights… ok but side note, Whitney looks like she’d fit straight into this video nn.
 
I watched the episode last night and this is probably the only show on TV that would come to a screeching halt over a "physical relationship" dd and how nearly ever housewife understood what that meant. But Britani using that as her reason for trying to paint the other housewives in a bad light made absolutely no sense.

Motherdith not allowing Brittle-knee from weaselling her way out of the hot seat with that transparent attempt at deflection

It feels so good having my mother’s back! Yet again, another outstanding episode from the jump.

For me what is setting this franchise apart from say BH or OC is that these women will completely tear each other apart, throw accusations left and right, bring each other to tears and yet, still they will manage to film group scenes together, take part in excursions and have sit down summits. No one is walking off camera claiming they’re done, no one is breaking the fourth wall running to production. These women come to work and remain professional at all times.

I’m so glad I’ve been able to experience this season in real time. It’s my first time watching this franchise and it’s been the best investment of my life!
 
I just finished reading Bad Mormon, there's not really a lot about Housewives of SLC (I guess she's saved that for the second book) but it's interesting to hear about how she met each of the women and the way in which the show was created & casted. Most of which we know already but..

- Lisa and Meredith recommended Heather. It sounds like she and Meredith were actually pretty good social friends prior to the show and worked together a lot at events like Sundance Film Festival. She speaks really highly of her which I thought was nice. Lisa introduced the two of them. Seems like that's how she met Angie Harrington as well.

- She and Whitney became acquainted after Whitney went to Beauty Lab to have a chemical burn looked at, after that, the latter booked her to do a boudoir shoot. It's so funny in hindsight to think about Whitney doing the whole sHe eXpLOiTeD mY VaGiNAH when there's nothing of the sort in the book nn. I think the latter just wanted a quick little storyline.

- Lisa wasn't happy about Heather suggesting Whitney to casting nn, Lisa thought she was too TLC.

- Jen was introduced after the producers weren't happy about the lack of diversity. Jen was a regular at Beauty Lab which is how Heather knew her and suggested her for the show. Seems like they became fast friends after that.

- The producers already knew of Mary (as we already know) and she & Heather had a mutual dinner with a producer.

- The original five casted for Housewives were Heather, Meredith, Lisa, Jen and Mary. Whitney wasn't in the original line up and her footage from the sizzle reel got cut (a fight she had with Jen where she referred to herself as Whitney FUCKING Rose). A dinner was held between producers, the OG 5 and Whitney and Angie Harrington which is how Whitney eventually made the cut.
