The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City (S5)

[johnny_tsunami]

The greatest thing about the reception of Bronwyn vs Heather, especially on social media, is just how much people value the former’s ability to communicate and validate herself and her own perspective within a variety of situations, in contrast to how Heather is quite visibly seeking the in-crowd acceptance not only of her castmates but the viewers as well.

It’s not necessarily about standing alone on principle but having the tools to do so with dignity and humility. Heather continues to act like She By Shein and people aren’t really attracted to her inability to stop whimpering for the gaze of anyone that’ll stop to look in her direction.

I also find it loathsome when Heather "laments" about her "old self," like she was some misshapen ogre cast out from the village and had to live in the shadows like Quasimodo. What she really means is her old personality of celebrating dick and not taking herself too seriously didn't connect so now she's trying out being the Very Serious Moment Spokesperson for the group, which isn't working either.

Heather you just aren't the star. It's fine! Not everyone is or has to be.

So where are the receipts of the jewelry that Bronwyn apparently bought and said she'd post? Cause everyone makes claims against Lisa and she has all the proof to disprove it, but the other ladies can make allegations with absolutely nothing to back it up, then weasel away with no backlash.



And that's the truth!

I mean, I agree. It's so dumb when Housewives fans decide they don't like someone, so they somehow then can never be right in any situation. The whole jewellery thing was an L for Bronwyn.

I’m firmly Team Bronwyn after last night and I can recognise that she should have made up some excuse out of it but I don’t see why she would post the ‘receipts’ now when it feels trivial in comparison to the issue they are still talking about.

What’s she going to do defend herself from being accused of faking a miscarriage in one post and then the next is a jewellery receipt? I think she’s right to let this one go now.

But Lisa never accused her of faking a miscarriage. Both times it was mentioned she was referring to Gwen’s grandparent’s original understanding of the situation. Bronwyn’s own screenshots from Gwen’s aunty prove that in 2015 (when Gwen was 8) they reached out after finding out about Gwen’s existence. She mentions it’s not the first time her or her parents heard about Gwen but it shows that they initially didn’t realise she existed.
So Lisa was simply reiterating the impression the parents were under, she never said Bronwyn lied, she never said she faked a miscarriage. It’s all just semantics and I understand why Lisa isn’t willing to apologise because she didn’t say anything incorrect? She simply explained the version of events she heard from the parents.

Let John Barlow sleep Lisa please he looks so tired

Even if Bronwyn is lying about the jewelry…….who cares its just jewelry. It doesn’t matter compared to the other issues. I wouldn’t give them the satisfaction of posting pictures if it was the truth anyway. They don’t deserve it.

I don’t disagree with what you’re saying but you’ve put together a better post than Lisa has dd… Lisa is out there saying ‘You were salivating to bring this to camera. You are a liar you lie about everything’. Like the semantics do matter here, it’s a pretty cutting comment given the conversation and if I were Brownyn, I wouldn’t give her the time of day on the receipts now.

I do appreciate she probably doesn’t have one to post but expecting her to post it in the midst of all this just doesn’t seem realistic to me.

It’s the principle. Lisa is expected to defend her businesses, her cars, her marriage, her home… and does and can because she has the receipts to do it. These other women don’t have their affairs in order so they can’t do the same, but because the fandom likes them there is no expectation for them to prove themselves. Double standards.

I was led to believe Bronwyn did really badly during te reunion based on social media responses. But I think she came across extremely well, very measured and clear. Willing to take responsibility for her part in certain situations and admitting where she was at fault and genuinly seeking resolve with the other ladies.

Lisa, however, just wanted to scream and yell over everyone. Paint herself out to be the victim at every given moment. Not once did she say sorry for anything and if she did, it was always followed with a 'but the thing is..'.

I have no sympathy for Heather either. She is acting like she came on the show looking like Monstro Elisasue and was the underdog because of it. She just isn't compelling enough to care about. Someone needs to tell her that while she had her moment in last season's finale, it doesn't mean she's the star. She's just there!

Meanwhile her and Jen Shaw were clear fan favorites in season 1.

Outside of the Miscarriage thing which she did apologize for with a 'but'.. What else exactly was she supposed to apologize for in this part of the reunion?

Angie lying about her car being repo-ed?
Angie insinuating she's a bad mother?
Bronwyn lying about buying jewellery?
Bronwyn bringing a picture of her baby daddy unprompted during their SPA sitdown?
Women consistently talking shit about her marriage for the past 5 seasons?
or
Whitney lying whole season on her name?

I'm interested to know.

Bronwyn addressed the jewelry drama on WWHL.

So they didn’t buy any of the pieces just like Lisa said and that is why she can’t provide any receipts. Yet people will still act like Lisa is lying about this. Right.

 

[popzone]

Dd not her blaming the "economic climate" for her...not buying the necklace that she previously claimed she did. Make it make sense.

 

[johnny_tsunami]

I feel so...peaceful stanning Angie and Godith while the Vidas and Brown Winds tear each other apart. "Backup dancer for Jen Shah" is now in my lexicon forever. And I know balance will be restored once Whitney's Home Depot Orange tan peels off and Heather's Langoliers teeth leave me be.

 

[allyshone]

I'll continue to say Bronwyn has been a great addition and I can't wait to see what she brings to the show in the future, but the girl is full of so much bullshit and the jewellery stuff is literally just the tip of the iceberg ddd. Personally, I think it makes her even more fascinating, but I hate how I was agreeing with what Heather was saying to her glam on the lunch break. The stories are always changing, the lines are always moving and... it's highly entertaining, albeit very confusing at times.

and Heather's Langoliers teeth leave me be.

Do you think she looks inbred though?

 

[johnny_tsunami]

Also in a very homosexual way I'm excited about the potential for Bronwyn to bring true high fashion to Housewives for the first time. No more Mugler bodysuit knockoffs, please!! Whether it's Tamra doing it in five different colors or Mia and Jacqueline giving us $20 lace from TEMU.

Mary just sitting there. Queen!!

Not Monstro Elisasue!!!
