These Moments from Episode 3!

It’s been such a long time since I’ve made one of these posts, but this episode of RHOSLC deserve some extra love and attention.

It’s so fun to have Mary Cosby back with this group of women. Angie Katsanevas told her to come sit eat lunch with them and Mary shut her down.

“Don’t talk to me like that. I don’t like it.”

And when she asked Whitney Rose what she was doing there early and bringing uninvited guests, Angie answered, and Mary dismissed her again!

“I wasn’t even talking to you.”

And I love how direct and unafraid Monica Garcia was when she saw how Angie was acting toward Meredith Marks on the trip.

While Angie was bitching about Monica in her room with Whitney and Lisa Barlow, Monica walked right in and confronted her directly.

She even said that she is calling her out on her bad behaviour was her acting like a friend. I like Monica!

When the women were sharing something the women didn’t know about each other, Monica was disappointed with the boring stories they were sharing.

She said that the senior citizens at her grandmother’s home had more interesting stories to tell than this bunch, and she decided to shock them with her own juicy, dirty secret.

If you’re owning your story no one can use it against you.

It reminded me of the dinner where Sutton Stracke told Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave that she was boring!

But Angie continued to throw jabs and insulting Meredith the entire night. Eventually Meredith had had enough of her nonsense and boy did she react!

“YOU! CAN! LEAVE!”

She mistook a waiter for one of their security guards and told them to throw Angie out! That poor waiter said “I’ll see what I can do…”

Heather Gay was having so much fun at the dinner, probably losing count on how many espresso martinis she had had.

Meredith stormed off with Lisa, had a big cry on her shoulder, but when Lisa tried to explain it from Angie’s point of view, she lost it again.

“No, if I would go for the jugular and talk about the shit – the rumours, the nastiness about her – oh, I can do that. You know what? You want me to go there with her husband? I can go there. Don’t fuck with me. Tell her to fuck off!”

And with RHOSLC there’s always a van ride. This wasn’t necessarily the van ride from hell, but it was definitely chaotic.

Meredith was crying on Monica’s shoulder. Whitney accused Meredith of using “irrelevant situations” against the women. Mary confronted Whitney about what she said about her at the reunion she refused to show up for.

Meanwhile, Heather’s happy fog with the espresso martinis has started to sour and she was trying not to vomit.

Chaotic. Their ridiculous outfits! Utter nonsense. And Real Housewives gold.

i cannot imagine being a fully grown man with a wife and children and making a fake instagram account to talk shit about your wife’s “friends.” chris harrington’s brain needs to be studied.

High Stakes and Friendship Breaks, S3 E11

The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 3 Episode 11 Recap

My Title: "The Heather Black Eye Reveal Episode"

My rating: 5 out of 7 budget Marilyns

Support for Lisa Barlow: Very strong

<><><>

How in Goddess' name are we only on Day 2 of San Diego?

Meredith is making eggs. Good Angie, Whitney, and Lisa lounge by or in the pool, talking about how Jen's behavior was unacceptable and also Heather is being a bitch for no reason. It's nice to know that the schisms formed in the last episode have survived the weeklong programming break and remained intact. Will Jen or Heather answer for their crimes?

Lisa leaves to go eat a single Kit Kat. Best Frenemies Forever Good Angie and Jen convene in the master bedroom. They are unintentionally matching, as is their tendency.

Meanwhile Heather is talking to Lisa in the kitchen. Heather points out that Jen has a toxic relationship with nearly every member of the cast, and a short montage plays to confirm that Jen has cussed each one out on camera. (Except Whitney!) Then Heather breaks down a bit and acknowledges how fractured her relationship with Jen has become.

Speaking to God or Jen Shah, Heather asks for "a little bit of grace," as she has done in nearly every episode of this season.

(Heather also acknowledges that she and Lisa usually bear the brunt of Jen's rage. Hopefully that means she will begin to treat Lisa with respect in mixed company, but I doubt it!)

Let's go to the beach! each!

The sprinter van proceeds to the destination without incident.

It seems somebody (Jen using Angie's credit card?) booked a service that sets up chairs, organizes a picnic, and is staffed by two indentured musical theatre majors for their day a la plage. It looks fun!

The ladies separate into two teams to play games and it almost goes well. When time is called on the sandcastle building contest, Yellow Team Captain Whitney runs over to Team Blue (Heather, Jen, Angie) and demolishes their build. This prompts Jen to bowl into Whitney during the sack race. Bubble soccer is basically sumo wrestling mediated by enormous plastic armor — Danna body slams Jen and Heather to the ground. Team Yellow Wins, and Team Blue has a hissy fit. But there is no verbal argument to follow, probably because the ladies left it all in the ring.

Some of the women go surfing while Jen, Heather, and Lisa sojourn to the boardwalk for lite bites and confrontation.

Jen apologizes for her yacht behavior in abstract. (In specific: She yelled at Lisa, pushed her, threw a crudité platter into the sea and called it a charcuterie board, and then fell asleep.) The night before she did not even recall any of it, and I'd wager that she still doesn't, but wants to move on.

(The other insane thing Jen did last episode — defenestrating Angie's $1,500 shoes like they were a charcuterie board — appears to be forgiven and forgotten.)

Hedda's turn! Jen is mad that Heather is still friends with Bad Angie; Heather is mad that Jen was talking shit about her in Whitney's enormous hot tub.

(I didn't understand the scale of Whitney's hot tub until this episode. It's a small heated pool!)

Jen denies talking shit in the hot tub. (She was talking shit in the hot tub!)

Heather tries to describe how it feels to be Jen's friend: "The sun doesn't shine on the same dog's ass every day."

Jen says: "You flip-flop so much, you should be wearing flip-flops!" Sick burn, nana!

The tension is building like the Empire State. As it always is, when you're dealing with Jen! Heather is describing to Jen how she tends to escalate the situation, using three solid examples from the previous 36 hours. Heather also notes to us, the viewers, in her confessional that she can see Jen running out of viable beef, signaling either her departure from the conversation or her upping the ante 1000 degrees.

Can you guess which way she went?

You're absolutely right—great guess! In the raspy, furious baritone to which we have unfortunately become attuned, Jen scream-admits that she attempted suicide after finding out about the @shahexposed finstagram. And then she departs the conversation, taking her drink to a table in the back.

[BK's Take: I do not find Jen Shah to be trustworthy in any domain. However, we have no good reason not to believe her when she tells Heather and Lisa that she "almost committed suicide, tried to", that she locked herself in the bathroom, that Coach Shah had to break down the door, and that she spent two days in the hospital following the episode. It was a very shocking moment for all present and me, not least because it was Jen's response to Heather asking, once again, if she can't be friends with Angie H. I am very sorry to Jen and her family.]

[For many reasons!]

Jen's admission causes Heather and Lisa to drop their arguments and rally to her side, tending to her in the manner of a wounded bird. But not before Heather and Lisa privately confer: Yes, Jen is psychotic, but let's just shower her with love when she's in the room.

Jen and her emotional support Mormons board the sprinter van bound for Chez Angie, while the surfing women (remember them?) do the same. Tonight's the Marilyn Monroe party, ladies — and Whitney brought the Amazon wigs!

Am I a philistine, or is this a crudité board (no meats or cheeses)? Please let me know in the comments.

The ladies Monroe sit down [BK's Take: Danna is most Marilyn, Heather is best look, Lisa is soooo mother and I love her, Jen brought the only wig that cost more than $28.99 but it's so wrong and looks out of place] and are convivial for about eight seconds. Meredith asks Heather, Jen, and Lisa about their lunch, which prompts silence. It seems at first like they will speak only in abstract and quickly moves on, but Whitney makes the fatal error of asking a follow-up question.

Jen snaps. "Since you wanna go digging," "Since you're so inquisitive," YEAH, I tried to SUICIDE over ANGIE HARRINGTON'S HUSBAND'S FINSTAGRAM.

Whitney is in more than the hot seat -- she is practically splayed out across the crudite platter, and about to be served raw to Jen Shah! (What did we think of that joke? Again, let me know in the comments. And thank you to my readers—both of you!)

What happens next is very sad, but also very satisfying. Maybe a little bit like eating too much ice cream. Slowly, one by one, the women take Whitney to task for her role in spreading baseless rumors and occasionally true but inflammatory knowledge. Example of the former: Talking about Lisa giving sex favors for free Utah Jazz tickets. Example of the latter: parroting back to Heather what Jen said in her seasize hot tub.

Even Meredith, who has been jingling decoratively all episode, opens her mouth against the Wild Rose! (Whit implicated Meredith in spreading the Jizz for Jazz rumors.) Whitney keeps propping up new defenses for each angry housewife, but none of them hold up. She would be better off annihilating them all in one caustic confession, Shah-style!

I do have to hand it to her when she tells Meredith that she's sorry if she betrayed her trust, but Meredith DID talk that shit about Lisa. And Whitney remembers that day perfectly because Meredith was so boring: Whitney made them do dishes because just talking was so awkward.

As if making anything remotely close a point, Whitney explains that she KNEW Meredith wanted to talk shit when she walked in the door, and that's why they had to do the dishes...?

Whitney literally says: "I'm a vibes girl."

Lisa interjects to say that we've all made mistakes, but then Whitney doubles down on "accountability." So then Heather takes the opportunity to say to Jen, can you be accountable for what you said about me in the huge enormous hot tub? And Jen masterfully says, Yes I can. It all started with Whitney saying she's taking a friend break from you...

This is news to Heather.

It's just like Don Draper said: If you don't like what they're saying, change the conversation!

From here on out Heather and Whitney engage in a verbal bout that goes nowhere but in the same circles. Whitney's fillings are hurt and she is processing trauma and Heather won't listen to her or treat her with grace. Heather, to Whitney's point, won't. She cannot even let Whitney land two complete sentences without interrupting her. Watching it is exasperating.

Heather keeps bringing Lisa into it, too. Why??

The conversation goes nowhere and then it's time to go somewhere else. Did anybody eat anything? Whatever. Jen Shah is like, let's go to a gay bar!

Tons of fun. Heather is hot on the mic being like "Fuck Whitney" !

The ladies return to the Airbnb with pizzas in hand. It's 2 AM — Jen and Heather are topless and running around. Lisa goes to bed, as does Whitney, both in good spirits. Jen, Heather, and ... Meredith? are laughing in various states of undress.

3 AM slumber party!

Wait holy shit. I had thought Bravo was adding time stamps to demonstrate just how loose the ladies were letting, but after 3:00, we start getting more minute updates -- who is going to bed at 3:12, who is walking down the corridor at 3:23 -- and then I realize that we are on the precipice of a moment I have waited for since the trailer for the season dropped:

Heather's Black Eye!!!!!!!!!!!!

At some point the cameras switch to the house's (extensive?) surveillance system. We see everybody go to bed, last (?) of all Heather, at 3:24, entering the casita where she is staying. Then, at 4:50, we see the door handle jiggle, and hear a knock, and see a Heather going to answer it. Who was on the other side?

Seven hours later Meredith is summoned to Heather's room. She takes off her sunglasses dramatically to reveal:

When I saw the Eye in the season trailer months ago, I thought it was some cosmetic reaction that was going to be played for laughs. But the fact that the show is telling the story like a full murder mystery has caught me by surprised, and now I'm hooked. Did somebody beat Heather up at 4:50 AM? Was it Lisa Barlow, or do we have a way we can blame Lisa Barlow for it?

That's why it's called BRAVO, folks. I'm clapping! Can't wait to tune in next week. Thanks for reading! -BK
