Real Housewives Of Salt Lake City Reunion Part 3 Recap: One Last Pep Talk For The Road

Real Housewives Of Salt Lake City Jen Shah

We’ve arrived at the final hour of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, Season 1. The third and final act of a historic three-part reunion. And you guys. I’m not ready for it to be over! Like really, really not. It’s been inarguably the best debut season of a new Housewives franchise since Beverly Hills back in 2010. And I’m saying that as a huge fan and ardent defender of the Potomac’s first season. (My original Bravo claim to fame was being behind one of the very first viewer-submitted reunion questions in RHOP history.)

But these SLC ladies delivered in every single way imaginable. They brought something new and completely different to the table, and added a fresh and unique POV to the Housewives universe. RHOSLC reinvigorated the franchise as a whole while some long-running tentpole cities are starting to feel stale and, ahem, long in the tooth. And that’s not just my bias talking as a born-and-bred former Mormon/Utah native. So indulge me while I savor this last recap before closing the door on Season 1 in Salt Lake City. K?

Gizelle Bryant Says Mary Cosby “Needs To Go To Rehab” And Figure Out That She Married A Black Guy; Porsha Williams Wants More Mary On Real Housewives Of Salt Lake City, But Gizelle Disagrees

Gizelle Bryant Real Housewives Of Potomac

Before Real Housewives of Salt Lake City even started airing, we all knew that Mary Cosby married her step-grandfather, Robert Cosby Sr. We were all under the impression (because she told us) that her grandmother asked her to do so.

Mary became a First Lady of their church in addition to inheriting some restaurants, more homes than she can count, Chanel bags (that may or may not make her happy), and a bunch of throne-like chairs. Well, I don’t know if she inherited the chairs or if she just bought them with that church/restaurant money, but I’m just looking for a plausible explanation for her decor. The more Mary that I see, the more fascinated I am by her. In contrast, Real Housewives of Potomac star Gizelle Bryant doesn’t feel that way. She wants less Mary on Season 2.

Real Housewives Of Salt Lake City Reunion Part 2 Recap: Bad Weather Friends

Lisa Barlow Real Housewives Of Salt Lake City Reunion

How do you solve a problem like Mary Cosby? That was the main question running through my mind after Part 2 of the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City reunion. Honestly though, has any Housewife in history ever made such blatantly problematic statements as Mary did in this episode? I almost don’t even know where to start digging in, to be honest. Nothing about any of it was OK or, frankly, made very much sense at all.

And that’s not all! During Part 2, there were jaw-dropping revelations, new nicknames, an epic walk-off, and even a surprise cameo by Lisa Rinna via text. (Turns out, like the rest of the Housewives universe, she’s a major fan of the RHOSLC ladies. That’s called having taste. Just ask Rihanna. As Mary pointed out repeatedly during the episode, we have a lot of cards to get through, so let’s jump in, shall we?

Mary Cosby Says “God Called” Her To Join Real Housewives Of Salt Lake City

Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Mary Cosby

The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City reunion has just begun, and I am here for it! Out of the gate, I was shocked that co-stars Lisa Barlow and Mary Cosby sparred over who talks down to others. In an upcoming episode of the reunion, Mary even took a little nap while filming. I guess she wasn’t nervous about her first reunion.

But where Mary is concerned, RHOSLC viewers have learned to expect the unexpected. Mary seemed to film the second half of the season from her enormous closet while Facetiming her co-stars. Is she lost in all her designer outfits?

Lisa Barlow Thinks Whitney Rose And Heather Gay “Put It On Heavy For The Cameras” And Are “Obsessed With Fame”; Says Jen Shah Is “100% Authentic”

Lisa Barlow

A lot of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City viewers have been wondering if Jen Shah turns up the drama for the cameras. Heather Gay denied that, saying Jen is who she is.

Lisa Barlow actually has the same opinion as Heather. Well, she does about Jen, anyway. Beyond that, Lisa and Heather don’t agree about anything. And now, Lisa is calling out Heather and Whitney Rose… again.

Real Housewives Of Salt Lake City Reunion Part 1 Recap: Roll Footage!

Real Housewives of Salt Lake City reunion Meredith Marks, Whitney Rose, Heather Gay, Andy Cohen, Jen Shah, Mary Cosby, Lisa Barlow

It’s reunion time for the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City! And considering this will be the first three-part reunion for a debut season in Housewives history, it’s sure to be historic. The elaborate, winter wonderland-themed set certainly fits that bill. It’s gorgeous. With Andy Cohen as their trusty guide, it feels like the ladies were dropped into a fairytale Utah ski village in the middle of New York City. Which brings up a small point in production. At one point in an Instagram Live, Andy revealed he had his ticket to SLC booked for the reunion…but they filmed it in New York. I assume that changed because of COVID. But I can’t help but wonder how it was easier to fly all six ‘Wives and some of their husbands to NYC…

Speaking of the ‘Wives, let’s talk reunion fashion! Apparently the ladies’ silver, red and gold color scheme was chosen as a nod to Utah’s long mining history. But as a Utah native, I certainly didn’t catch the reference. It’s mostly just looked like an oddly-chosen color palette. Of all the dresses, Lisa Barlow‘s liquid copper look is my far-and-away favorite. It’s minimalist, which is her style, and not overdone like some of her co-stars. Whitney Rose is stunning in her ruby red gown, though it leans a bit holiday decor for my personal taste. In fact, it’s the perfect complement to Teresa Giudice‘s iconic green “Christmas pageant dress” at the RHONJ Season 4 reunion so many years ago.

Real Housewives Of Salt Lake City Star Whitney Rose Does Not Trust Lisa Barlow Anymore

Whitney Rose

The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City cast went into the finale party questioning each other’s trustworthiness.  It was a heavy miasma that could have caused a huge scene at the grand opening of Heather Gay’s new spa, especially if Jen Shah had reacted the way she usually does when confronted.

All of this tension stemmed from a trust game conducted by a hypnotist in a random Las Vegas living room.  Heather was floored when Jen revealed that she did not trust her. Meanwhile, Jen had her own revelation about how her friends viewed her.  Add to this is the hurt Meredith Marks felt when she found out Jen was gossiping about her marriage.  Finally, Whitney Rose was gauging whether she and Lisa Barlow truly had a breakthrough in their friendship.

Whitney Rose Says Jen Shah’s Marriage Problems Have Nothing To Do With Her; Says “Jen Is Responsible For Her Behavior”

Whitney Rose

Real Housewives of Salt Lake City’s first season has drawn to a close, and I loved it. The franchise is filled with big personalities, and tons of drama. Whitney Rose is one of RHOSLC’s break-out stars. Whitney renewed her vows to her husband, Justin Rose, to celebrate 10 years of wedded bliss.

Their history is a bit scandalous. Whitney and Justin had an affair when they were both married to other people. They got divorced so that they could be together. As a result, they left the Mormon Church.
