Real Housewives of Salt Lake 12/5/23

I hope Whitney gets along with her neighbors well, and they don’t mind the cameras and whatnot. The two houses on either side, are really really close.

Justin does his HouseHusband due diligence, and has this mindless convo with Whitney about the Bermuda trip, and her annoyance with Lisa.

She seems to be over the death of her friend.

I’m so over the packing scenes. Do you know what I would like to see? We rarely see them at their jobs and supposed businesses.

We have seen here and there quickie at Beauty Lab, and Meredith’s store. But let’s see what you really do. Whitney is running two businesses, but do we ever see her working? She seems to have a lot of time leisurely charcutering during daytime hours.

Does she have an office? Her big story line this season is how ‘busy’ she is with her businesses, because Justin is back to work after she got him fired for their soft porn scene. And Lisa is running a tequila business? Never see her ‘ at work.’ I’m not just picking on Salt Lake, it’s all of the franchises.

Maybe we would like to see more than these bitches hollering and trying to one up each other non-stop.

Just my obsi.

The arguing trip is commencing. They meet at the airport. Angie admits that she has a zit, complete with pimple patches, and makes a joke out of it. Glade to see someone else besides me STILL breaks out! I’m curious what patches she uses if she claims it will be gone by they time they land.

They arrive, Meredith is whining up a storm that she’s cold.

So apparently, she’s not really ‘coming down with something’ according to Whitney (I know! But in this instance, I believe her) Meredith must have partaken and mixed too many mood and sleep altering substances, such as xanex, sleeping pills and cocktails. So now, because she couldn’t use common sense, or just stop herself, everyone has to cater and fuss over her. Maybe she’s not a good flier, well, neither am I. I hate it. I hate everything about it. I hate the take off, I hate the landing, and everything in between. But I have the sense to know that if you overdo the relaxants on the flight, it’s going to possibly ruin your arrival. Who wants to feel like shit when you arrive at your destination??

Heather, always the master at the one-liners, keeps making jokes at her expense. It’s probably pissing her off. But come on Meredith, what a fucking buzzkill you’re being. You’re not 20. This isn’t cute to be in a coma right now because you overdid pills and alcohol on a flight. At your age, you know better.

This house is huge, I mean huge, gorgeous and right on the beach. Who could possibly be in a bad mood here? Oh I know Housewives, and one other person.

Actually this individual would fit right in with the Housewives. This person likes to ridicule them, (which is deserved 99% of the time) but actually he acts just like these bellyaching entitled whiners. Nothing is ever enough. Nothing is good enough.

So what would be the chance that there’s one fucking room out of six, without a bathtub. Did Bravo search far and wide for a house that had enough rooms for everyone to have their own quarters, (God forbid if they don’t) with ONE bedroom without a tub.

Well there is, and since Meredith is ‘sick’ she didn’t do the run and pick her room thing, so she gets the last one, that happens to not have a tub.

As I pointed out in another recap, these trips are 100% free, not to mention, they’re getting paid to be here. They lift no finger to do anything. Yet they still bitch. About something. Always.

Lunch is prepared for them, as usual. Meredith still looks like shit. She probably should eat, but says she’s sick, and needs to lie down. I would normally say ‘stormed out’ due to her abrupt departure from the area, however she does this very slow and sulking ‘storming out.’

I can’t even fathom the cost to rent this house for a week.

And why are they not putting on bathing suits, and literally running to the beach? Keep in mind they’re coming from Utah, and it’s not like they can get into a car and drive to the ocean in a few hours.

Not to mention, it’s cold there!! But we’d rather sit here and bitch?

Lisa and Heather gossip about Whitney.

Whitney and Angie gossip about Lisa.

Whitney seriously thinks her fucking sparkling personality, and ‘positive attitude’ has made this huge impact on Lisa, and Lisa is now such a better kinder person.

She said this. Just when you think Housewives cannot get any more brash, they do.

Heather shares this with Lisa, and Lisa is mystified as to what this even means. Keep in mind that Housewives in general, but especially ones like Lisa, on the you-know-what spectrum, do not think they ever do anything wrong. But to be told that another wife thinks they’re responsible for making them a ‘better person’ who already thinks they’re beyond perfection, is not going to go over well.

Someone is a little inflated due to her Bravoleb fame, and people telling her she’s gorgeous and great non-stop. And she’s also not that pleasant and positive, as she describes herself.

Whitney and Lisa have not spoken at all since the event where Lisa ignored her and failed to comfort her.

As much as I hate it, back to Meredith. Monica, who is eager to be on the good side of as many housewives as possible, brings her a plate of food and is sucking up pretty hard. She complains to Monica about the dreaded bathtub situation.

Is this a little over the top with Meredith and the bathing though? If I had chills and felt like shit, I just don’t know if I would want to get into a bathtub. I would much rather put on some comfies, and get into a bed. If she was that worried about a bath, I’m going to have to go ahead and say maybe she really wasn’t that sick.

Monica lets Lisa and Heather know that she’s pissed and upset.

What is Monica talking about, that her grandparents ‘built houses and businesses’ in Bermuda? I’m feeling like that’s a little bit of an embellishment. They built houses and businesses? I’m thinking no.

Producer is texting Meredith to ask how she’s doing. She answers “not very good” although I do think she is looking a little better.

The dehydrated thing that the doctor comes up with, probably should have also being common sense. She should’ve been drinking a lot of water, given the flying, which is dehydrating, and the alcohol, also dehyrdrating. Not seeing any water on her nightstand, just a plate of food that she didn’t touch.
Also, Why is Monica still wearing this big bulky sweatshirt??

Meredith was looking okay-ish when Monica was in her room, and she was bitching about a bath, but now that the medic arrived, she suddenly looks like she’s comatose or dead. He tells her that she’s dehydrated, and needs an IV.

How dramatic, an IV?? She also could’ve drank some water, but okay, let’s stick needles in our hand instead.


There’s a rum tasting extravaganza on the beach. The ‘Dark and stormy’ sounds terrible. It just does. Whitney is a latecomer due to, well I mean what else, she was taking a long leisurely bubble bath. I’m fucking sick and tired of talking about bathing!!

She manages to emerge for dinner, wearing a terrible awful outfit for Bermuda. Looks like she’s going to a boardroom. You can tell she’s stewing, and guess what about.

I have a question for everybody in this car. Who here has a room with a bathtub in it??”

Everyone raises their hand, because of course every other room has a bathtub besides Meredith’s.
Now everybody’s arguing about bathing, leg spreading and family ruining. I forget why Angie and Meredith are even hating on each other. Is it her husband being gay?


They arrive at the restaurant, and don’t forget, we have this Lisa and Whitney thing also stewing, and they are rehashing how Lisa didn’t give Whitney attention at Meredith’s event, due to the recent passing of her friend.

Lisa just does not comprehend why Whitney may have been annoyed. She’s clearly not an empathetic hugging, touchy-feely person. It’s just not her thing, and Whitney, being such great friends with her, as she claims, should know this. I don’t get how Lisa doesn’t just say, ‘sorry I struggle with this, and didn’t know what to say. That’s why I sent flowers.’


We’re over this now, and segue into what Heather told Lisa, about how Whitney claims to have ‘fixed’ her. If she had been successful at making her inot this much of a better person, then we wouldn’t be having this argument that were enjoying so much, now would we?

Whitney accuses Heather of meddling, by sharing these comments with Lisa, and also, she’s jealous, of course.

Whitney tries to backpedal, because I guess she realizes when said in front of Lisa, how fucking ridiculous it is.

Heather, in her yap, breaks it down in the Heather way, and is brutally honest that a nurturerer, Lisa is not.


They head back to the mansion, with one room missing a bathtub.

Meredith, who was so dehydrated, that she needed an IV, is opening a bottle of wine after dinner, where they also had wie and cocktails.

She tells Monica that she didn’t even eat dinner because she doesn’t have an appetite, yet she’s drinking more, so I guess we have to keep feeling sorry for her when she’s sick and dehydrated again.

What’s with the back of Meredith jacket? It looks like the back of Denise Richard’s jacket on Beverly Hills when she had it on upside down.

Meredith gives Monica accolades for how supportive she has been, and the only friend she feels like she has on the trip.

Monica brings up an outing that she had with Meredith a few weeks prior, in Park City, where they joked about the Greek mafia and discussed whether or not Angie was involved.

Following that, there were alleged DM’s from a “random instagram account” sent to Meredith, exposing Angie and Shawn, and how shady they are with their business, and they don’t pay their taxes etc. Monica then also received the messages, as well as back-up documentation and asks Meredith if she’s heard anything else.

Meredith touches her face, and does this eye rub thing, where she says she’s behind in her DM‘s and hasn’t checked. When will people learn that when you do anything such as touching your face (or ear) as you’re lying, it’s a dead giveaway. I’m guessing it’s just a because you’re anxious, and feel guilty so it’s sort of a twitch. Do we think maybe Meredith is the one that even sent the information?


Now she claims to know nothing about it. She’s doing the Housewife ‘planting the seed’ then stepping away thing.

Same thing she did with Jen Shah.
