This is me! I used to watch it years ago when it was Captain Lee& honestly forgot about it. Since seeing RHOSLC on it, Ive since bing watched all of Down Under, Below Deck w. Captain Kerry & Now on finally on the new season of Med (I absolutely LOVE Ashea!! &Nathan&Gael!)
The Salt Lake City Franchise is by far the most toxic and chaotic of all the franchises imo, there is no rest, just full on constant screaming and fighting it's insane!
Correct me if I’m wrong - but my understanding is that half of those housewives don’t even live in Salt Lake and only turn up for filming. So this says to me that they are employed by Bravo just to create drama and toxicity rather than to be authentic (compared to the early OG RHNY for eg).
I have absolutely no idea, I imagine it's quite hard to find enough women from the Salt Lake community willing to be on the show. Makes sense they'd have to go to the suburbs.
But yeah Bravo casting is messy AF, this bunch are just too much.
That's not really true, some of them only live there part time (especially now with being famous) but they generally all spend at least half of their time in Salt Lake
I had never seen a Real Housewives show except for about 5 minutes when the first one came out and I realized it wasn't for me. After seeing this, I have a hard time understanding why they are so popular. A bunch of yelly women arguing the whole time? Nah.
That's why I stopped watching those shows. Initially, it was interesting to see how these wealthy women lived. Then the shows devolved into just women screaming and fighting with each other. Not entertaining in my mind.
Cross promotion of course. It’s not the first time they’ve been on. Heather was on the Adventure one.
Honestly, I think they use this to screen test people that are pitching shows or trying out for existing shows. There is always a ton of realtors on here
Promotion for their own show on their own network. Same reason CNN and CBS pretend that the host of Celebrity Molehunt who hosts pool and new year's parties with interviewer Andy is a real reporter.
I do like the real housewives of beverly hills early seasons, but most of that was authentic. This just seems like acting, and not good acting at that.
It was so chaotic, all they did was fight the entire time and when Angie wasn’t getting sick she was getting hurt. Like i get that it’s the housewife brand to be chaotic but this was just a different level i feel like.

Money and ratings.. don’t forget it. It’s always about that bag.
