Every episode, we recap reality television from the 6 00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:27,680 Speaker 1: Real Housewives Franchise to The Bachelor or Selling Sunset, in 7 00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 1: addition to celebrity guests, whether in the unscripted space or 8 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:38,960 Speaker 1: scripted as well. Hey, rain drops. On today's episode of 9 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,440 Speaker 1: Reality with the King, we have to break down the 10 00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 1: season sixth premiere of the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. 11 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 1: All right, so before I get started with my I 12 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 1: have no idea why I'm laughing, but I feel like 13 00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 1: I'm about to piss some people off and that wasn't 14 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 1: my attention. However, I gotta be honest, So before I 15 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 1: get into my recap, let me start by saying this, 16 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 1: I Carlos King. The first I am a huge fan of 17 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 1: the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. I even said 18 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 1: how this show is probably the best, tied with OC 19 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 1: when it comes to the best housewives. I thought last 20 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,760 Speaker 1: season was excellent. I thought this season before that was 21 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 1: even more excellent. Hey, Monica Garcia, I love the additional Bronway. 22 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: I even love Britney. I think Brittany's fantastic. And you 23 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 1: all know I love all the girls. Hey, Angie and Mary, 24 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,040 Speaker 1: I like Whitney and Lisa. I like all the girls. Okay, 25 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 1: with that being said, and Meredith, I can't take it, 26 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 1: I do love all the girls. So again, with that 27 00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 1: being said, what I will say is I love this 28 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: show because I always felt like Salt Lake City has 29 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:12,359 Speaker 1: its own specialness. The way the ladies sort of behave 30 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 1: to me is comedy. I thought Salt Lake City was 31 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: a big comedy show. I think they're funny when they're 32 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 1: mad at each other. Their arguments seem funny to me. 33 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 1: I'm never like, oh shit, it's about to go down basement. 34 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: I'm always like, Okay, these girls know how to be 35 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:35,799 Speaker 1: themselves in a way that, yes, it's confrontational, but it's 36 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 1: also funny. Okay, I love the show. Last season I 37 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: said this show may be tied with The Royal House 38 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: Wassports County. Because I listen, I think OC is like 39 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:55,079 Speaker 1: the best of the best. I really do. It's just amazing. 40 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 1: So when I was getting ready to watch the premier 41 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,359 Speaker 1: of season six. Of course, I'm like, yes, I get 42 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:12,119 Speaker 1: to see Mary and g Brown, Win, Heather, Meredith, Lisa Whitney, 43 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: and Brittany and listen. I could be the minority in 44 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 1: this situation, and trust me, that's fine. I did not 45 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 1: enjoy this premiere at all. I'm gonna break it down. 46 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: So I want to start by saying I did not 47 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 1: enjoy this premiere. Okay, So this is one episode out 48 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 1: of let's just say seventeen. They'll probably get seventeen episodes 49 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: this season, not including the reunion, So look, I have 50 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 1: sixteen more episodes to go. So before you guys see 51 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: me the hate tweets and Carlos the hater. He doesn't 52 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: know what he's talking about, all the mean things y'all 53 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 1: love to say when I don't agree with a popular opinion, 54 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 1: let me break it down. Okay. The episode starts with 55 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: ANGIEK pulling up in an RV and she's picking up 56 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: Mary and she's taking the girls in the girls trip. 57 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 1: One thing Sulaic City does. Unlike the other housewives most 58 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 1: premier episodes of reality shows, especially housewives, you start by 59 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: diving into like the women's personal stories in terms of like, Okay, 60 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 1: where are they now based on where we left them? Right, So, 61 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: for example, you sometimes settle into their homes and see 62 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 1: what they're doing. You sometimes settle in their jobs. You 63 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 1: sometimes get a sense of like what's happening in their 64 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,479 Speaker 1: personal lives before you get them around the other girls, 65 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: because we all know once you get them around the girls, 66 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: it's gonna be mayhem. So before the mayhem, you want 67 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: to begin with story that didn't happen. So I was like, Oh, 68 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: that's interesting. So the first thing we're going to get 69 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,919 Speaker 1: is the ladies all together. I thought that was a 70 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: very interesting take. Not mad at it, not mad at 71 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:24,280 Speaker 1: the attention of doing something different. So I was like, oh, 72 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:28,279 Speaker 1: we're not gonna be at Angie's home seeing her husband, 73 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,599 Speaker 1: her beautiful daughter, seeing what Angie's up to. We're not 74 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,720 Speaker 1: going to be with Mary updating us and I was 75 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 1: going on with her son and the church. We're not 76 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,840 Speaker 1: going to you know, settle to see what's going on 77 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,479 Speaker 1: with Heather and her daughters. Okay, fine, we're going to 78 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:47,920 Speaker 1: go right into Angie k pulling up a an RV 79 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,719 Speaker 1: that we did not know she owned for the past 80 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: three years, that her husband bought her and we're gonna 81 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 1: get set on the Girl's Trip. Okay, fine, all good. 82 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: So that happened, and then we then see the other 83 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 1: girls being picked up and I'm like, all right, let's 84 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:10,599 Speaker 1: see what's happening. Well, we saw. The first major thing 85 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 1: was the fact that Lisa Barlow was not coming on 86 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:19,279 Speaker 1: the trip. Now, if you have been on social media 87 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: for the past year while this show was filming its season, 88 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 1: rumor had it that Lisa Barlow did not film for 89 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 1: the first couple of weeks of the new season because 90 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 1: allegedly she was in contract negotiations. Okay, Lisa Barlow, who 91 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 1: is a fantastic addition to the show. I think all 92 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 1: of the women are stars. Lisa obviously is a star. 93 00:06:55,520 --> 00:07:00,360 Speaker 1: Lisa allegedly felt that she, you know, wanted more money 94 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: based on her being the main story. So because of that, 95 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,600 Speaker 1: she went on stripe. And this happens a lot of 96 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 1: times in the beginning of a new season, not just 97 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: some housewives, but on a lot of reality shows where 98 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 1: if the women are in negotiations, one move that they're 99 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 1: told by their lawyers, their publicists, or their agent or 100 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 1: all three is don't show up. Don't show up. Because 101 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 1: you want your presence, your lack of presence to be felt. 102 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 1: What I will say is this, I felt Lisa's lack 103 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 1: of presence. The beauty of Salt Lake City is the 104 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 1: fact that it's a great ensemble cast. I don't think 105 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 1: one person is the show. I think they all bring 106 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 1: something special in this gumbo of awesomeness. It doesn't help 107 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: the producer's case in terms of Lisa possibly renegotiating again 108 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: next season because Lisa was the main topic of conversation 109 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: this episode and she wasn't even there. When you are 110 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 1: the main topic of a conversation and you're not even there, 111 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 1: that goes to show you the star power that you 112 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 1: do have, and it also just goes to show you 113 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 1: some real shit, the main storyline magnificence that you have. 114 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 1: Lisa Barlow was aware of my opinion that these conversations about, 115 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 1: you know, these alleged loss suits that she has was 116 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,560 Speaker 1: going to be something that the girls were going to 117 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 1: talk about. So because of that, she wanted to obviously 118 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 1: showcase her worth by displaying to not only the network, 119 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 1: the production company and the ladies that y'all gonna have 120 00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,200 Speaker 1: to pay me in order for me to really talk 121 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,840 Speaker 1: about this in great detail, because she knew she had 122 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 1: the main storyline and she decided to back out. Now, 123 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 1: what we do know is she is a part of 124 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 1: the show. She's a part of the main titles. So 125 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: eventually she does come back. But the question remains if 126 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: Lisa Barlow did in fact get a raise based on 127 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 1: what I saw in the first episode, I he deserves something. 128 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 1: I don't know if she deserves an extra you know, 129 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 1: leg seat outside of seventeen F nineteen F. I don't 130 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 1: know if she deserves more craft services. I don't know 131 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,319 Speaker 1: she deserves more tequila to be shown on the show. 132 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 1: I don't know. What I do know is she has 133 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 1: bargained herself to be a force multiplier. Because ninety percent 134 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 1: of this episode was about Lisa, and that is sort 135 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 1: of a dangerous game to play when you are trying 136 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 1: to figure out whether or not you know this woman 137 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,840 Speaker 1: has staying power. Well, see what happens. We have, like 138 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 1: I said, almost sixteen episodes to go. However, Lisa has 139 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:18,080 Speaker 1: emerged as a force multiplier and this episode proved that. 140 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 1: So as we get into the Ladies going on this 141 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 1: R and B, all of a sudden, we see a 142 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 1: Swat Team up here, and this is when I knew 143 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 1: we were doomed for the rest of the episode. I'm 144 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 1: all about a joke. I'm all about a little something something, 145 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:42,440 Speaker 1: you know, when it comes to like giving a moment, 146 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,680 Speaker 1: I gotta be honest with you. It takes me out 147 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 1: of the reality of the show when I feel like 148 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 1: there's performative actions that is hyper produced. Now I'm not 149 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:02,679 Speaker 1: saying it's hyper produced the production. It could be higher 150 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:06,960 Speaker 1: produced by the talent, as we saw the Swat Team. 151 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 1: Of course, anybody who watches Salt Lake City know that 152 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:17,959 Speaker 1: when Jen Shaw, the OG of the show, was exposed 153 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 1: as to having this scheme that she was doing, the 154 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 1: Swat Team showed up while the ladies were in a 155 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:30,839 Speaker 1: sprinter and everybody's freaking out. Jin looked scared. All of the 156 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:32,959 Speaker 1: things happened in real time, and that, to me is 157 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 1: what made Saltlake City special because it was a very 158 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 1: different way of telling a story that happened in real time. 159 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 1: So that happened though like four years ago. I don't 160 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 1: know who decided that this would be fun to watch, 161 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 1: that a SWAT team was going to appear, because we 162 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:55,680 Speaker 1: all knew it wasn't serious. Whitney Rose, who I love, 163 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 1: is not a great actress. If you watch her on 164 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 1: this show, you know that when she reads, she laughs, 165 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 1: and she just has this uncomfortable ness when it comes 166 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 1: to being herself on the show. If you really watch 167 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:15,080 Speaker 1: the show, Whitney laughs when she's confronted with something. She's 168 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,319 Speaker 1: not a great actress when it comes to even reading. 169 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 1: And we'll get to her and Britney's read off, but 170 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 1: Whitney smiling, she's laughing. Who are they here for? The 171 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 1: guy says I'm here for Whitney Rose, and she's like, 172 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, what's going on? All of that to 173 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:36,080 Speaker 1: me was just stupid. I enjoyed this one bit. It's 174 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 1: it took away from me enjoying the show. I love 175 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 1: OC because OC they're themselves. Whether you guys like them 176 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 1: or nice people who gives a shit, they are themselves. 177 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 1: Whether you like the Jersey girls or not, a lot 178 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 1: of them are themselves. Atlanta, same thing, and I called 179 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:58,200 Speaker 1: the Atlanta When Shami and porschamid with Dennis and not 180 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 1: Dannis child si Aportion met with Wrath Drew's husband and 181 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 1: they were like, oh, we just so happened to like 182 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:10,200 Speaker 1: have this no that was performative. This scene with the 183 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,439 Speaker 1: SWAT Team was the worst decision that could have made 184 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 1: because it reaked a performance and I did not like 185 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 1: it one bit. I just I just thought it took 186 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:28,439 Speaker 1: away from the reality of us getting into like, what's 187 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 1: new with these women, what's different this season? What do 188 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 1: they have going on? Was fresh in their lives, So 189 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 1: to make fun of something that happened four years ago, 190 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,080 Speaker 1: you guys should be trying to make us forget about 191 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:47,839 Speaker 1: Jenshaw but not remember her, and to have these guy 192 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 1: be strippers, to me was sort of like a bad 193 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,440 Speaker 1: move from a Lifetime movie of the Week. I thought 194 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 1: it was lazy. I thought it was It just wasn't 195 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 1: entertaining to me. I didn't like it one bit. It 196 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 1: was just two on the nose. I don't think any 197 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,320 Speaker 1: audience member really thought like, oh my gosh, what did 198 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 1: we need to do the SWAT teams hit for her. 199 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 1: I think we all was like, oh God, this is stupid, 200 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:15,600 Speaker 1: and no one's pail for it. That was the moment 201 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,440 Speaker 1: I knew like this episode was going to be a 202 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 1: doozy and it was in the worst way possible. Moving 203 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 1: on from that, they start talking about the elephant in 204 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 1: the room, which is Lisa Barlow aka the force multiplier, 205 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 1: who isn't there, and Brittany is defending her, saying, we're 206 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 1: good friends. Look, I'm with Heather on this one, which 207 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 1: is rare for me to be on heavyside, But I 208 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 1: am with Heather on this one when it comes to 209 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 1: since when our Brittany and Lisa good friends? But I digress. 210 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 1: Even the exchange between Brittany and Whitney fell flat to 211 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 1: me because it just seemed like they had to give 212 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 1: each other a moment, and I felt like these girls 213 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 1: were on the island of survivor and because they have 214 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 1: I think what seven how S wives this season, plus 215 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 1: Brittany as a friend to the show, that they were 216 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 1: all fighting for position, and it just wreaked up desperation, 217 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 1: It waked up let me have a moment, Let me 218 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 1: have a moment that could solidify my position on the show. 219 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 1: That exchange between Britney and Whitney was stupid. It was dumb. 220 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 1: It made no sense to me. They're arguing about a 221 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 1: woman who's not even there to defend herself, and then 222 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 1: you know, Brittany's like, well, Whitney. You know, how can 223 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 1: you talk about someone's business when you do bad business? 224 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 1: It's all over TikTok and they show that Whitney, you know, 225 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 1: is being talked about on TikTok for allegedly having these 226 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 1: m l M schemes. And then Whitney's comeback as she 227 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 1: was laughing through her read I'm not making this up. 228 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 1: Watch the show, rewatch it if you have to. She smirks. 229 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 1: Watch when the swat team comes, she's smirking, which I'll 230 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 1: give her past the fact because she was in on 231 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:08,040 Speaker 1: the joke, so I'll give her past there. But watch 232 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,280 Speaker 1: her as she and bringing are reading each other, She's 233 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 1: smirking the whole time. Well, you know, you make business 234 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 1: my sucking D. And I'm just like, oh my gosh, 235 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 1: why is it only ten minutes into the show and 236 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 1: I don't know anything new happening in your lives, and 237 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 1: you're accusing a woman of sucking D as her business. 238 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 1: I'm off of Goree, I'm off a good argument, I'm 239 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 1: off of good shade. Unfortunately, that exchange was none of 240 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 1: those three things. It was just like, we're gonna argue 241 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 1: because we have to argue, and my argument, and that 242 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 1: is when I see an argument or read session, I 243 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 1: like it to be rooted in realness. Okay, I don't 244 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:04,120 Speaker 1: like a rehearse read. I don't like a fake read. 245 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 1: I like it when it's something rooted in reality. So 246 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 1: the fact that we started off with this performative read, 247 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 1: I'm like, this is boring and I'm over it. I 248 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,879 Speaker 1: was over it, but of course I'm like, let me 249 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 1: watch the show and see if it gets better. It didn't. 250 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:27,920 Speaker 1: So then the girls talk about how Lisa has all 251 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 1: of these alleged lawsuits. Gramas like, look, I've been reading things. 252 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,440 Speaker 1: The Salt Lake Tribune said that Lisa owed four hundred 253 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:39,640 Speaker 1: thousand dollars in unpaid loans, and they started arguing about that, 254 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,760 Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh my gosh, another argument about a 255 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:48,119 Speaker 1: woman who's not even freaking there. Lisa. I hope you 256 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 1: got paid more, because listen, I'm all about everybody having, 257 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:59,640 Speaker 1: you know, equal when it comes to do the same job. 258 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:04,480 Speaker 1: But you guys are making a good case. This entire 259 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 1: show was about a woman who wasn't there. I think wress. Okay, 260 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,840 Speaker 1: So they're arguing about that and Brahmin feels like, look, 261 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 1: this is what Lisa does. Lisa's allowed to talk about us, 262 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 1: but we can't talk about her, and that's a whole 263 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,399 Speaker 1: big issue. And the ladies are just sitting there. You 264 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,160 Speaker 1: haven't had their emeritive looking at these girls like, yeah, 265 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,639 Speaker 1: y'all go fight because our job here is safe at 266 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,160 Speaker 1: least for today. So y'all fight and figure things out 267 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,359 Speaker 1: because y'all need it. That's what it game to me. 268 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:39,119 Speaker 1: That's why they were disengaged, and that's why they weren't 269 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:47,879 Speaker 1: you know, you know, you know, that's why they just 270 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,800 Speaker 1: weren't engaging in the conversation. They all just mad. These 271 00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:56,680 Speaker 1: typical reaction shots of the faces of like ooh, shade 272 00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:00,360 Speaker 1: and read and I'm just like, what has this show 273 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,639 Speaker 1: will come? This is not why I like this show. 274 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:11,160 Speaker 1: An entire premiere episode where they argued every ten minutes. 275 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 1: I thought I was watching the Zoos Network. This was 276 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 1: Baddie's Salt Lake City. I was looking for Josh Lee 277 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:29,359 Speaker 1: her dand this and Natalie None. I thought Tom and 278 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:39,679 Speaker 1: Lee's gonna come out. I'm just saying it gave zeus, Okay, 279 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:43,920 Speaker 1: I'm the lie. So then they get to like this 280 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 1: campsite and again there are I'm not making this up. 281 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:52,439 Speaker 1: They argue again over Lisa Barlow. I'm just like, I 282 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 1: hope Lisa Barlow got ten cents on the dollar of 283 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 1: every time her name was mentioned. This was it got 284 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 1: them the point mob like this, this can't be the 285 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:05,320 Speaker 1: premiere PSOE of Salt Lake City, Like this can't be it. 286 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 1: But I'm gonna rock with it. I'm gonna see what 287 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:11,439 Speaker 1: those happens. Britney stands up and she announced that she 288 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 1: got engaged, and we're like, yeah, you got engaged. We 289 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:18,160 Speaker 1: love this, only to say that they we engaged only 290 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:23,639 Speaker 1: lasted for two weeks. Now identify that to be funny 291 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:27,480 Speaker 1: and listen again. This may be an unpopular opinion. I 292 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 1: do find Britney hysterical. I actually think Britney is great television. 293 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,720 Speaker 1: I think she's a whack of dude. I think she's 294 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:40,720 Speaker 1: super funny. I think she's in on the joke. She's 295 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,440 Speaker 1: trying to apologize to Whitney because she knew that this 296 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 1: beaf was fake and performative and was not rooted in 297 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,439 Speaker 1: a real place, so she tried to hug her, and 298 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 1: Whitney's like, I'm not ready for a hug after Whitney, 299 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 1: which I thought was a great moment after Whitney talked 300 00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 1: about the fact that her businesses did fail, that she 301 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 1: wasn't involved in those scandals. She just had a failed business. 302 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:06,879 Speaker 1: And I thought, like, that's the type of stuff I 303 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 1: want to see. And I would have preferred Whitney to 304 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 1: say that on the RV when her and Brittany had 305 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:20,680 Speaker 1: a moment, because to me, that would have been unpredictable, Like, yes, 306 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:24,639 Speaker 1: Britney's trying to shade you, But I think Whitney should 307 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:26,679 Speaker 1: have used that moment to say, instead of me shading 308 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 1: you back, how about I inform everybody that I'm vulnerable 309 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:33,879 Speaker 1: and in a bad place because my business did fail. 310 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 1: And seeing her cry about it, and in a perfect 311 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:40,960 Speaker 1: world seeing the ladies rally around her, that would have 312 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,639 Speaker 1: been unpredictable. That would have been a great moment to 313 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:49,399 Speaker 1: watch instead of a rehearse feed. So as the episode progresses, 314 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 1: more arguments happened over Lisa Barlow, and then a super 315 00:21:55,000 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 1: trailer came on. I'm like, what did I just watch? 316 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:09,600 Speaker 1: What did I just watch? This premiere? I will give 317 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 1: a two out of a ten. I didn't think it 318 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:16,840 Speaker 1: was great at all. It's to me, it's the worst 319 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 1: season premiere of any Raal Housewives this year. The best 320 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:24,359 Speaker 1: premiere this year to me, I'll give that to Atlanta. 321 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 1: Atlanta Season sixteen was a ten out of a ten 322 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 1: because it was nice to get to know what Porsche 323 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,640 Speaker 1: was up to me, it was up to we got 324 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,800 Speaker 1: to see what Drew was up to, you know, we 325 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 1: got to meet Kelly and Brin these new ladies and 326 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:45,680 Speaker 1: get a chance to get to know them. And then 327 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:49,200 Speaker 1: at the end, you know, Porsche gave Drew a piece 328 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 1: of her mind. Like it was a balanced episode of 329 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:58,399 Speaker 1: personal story, real moments, comedy and shade. And I felt 330 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 1: like even OC another great premiere where they were able 331 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,120 Speaker 1: to talk to Katie about things she did last year, 332 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:09,399 Speaker 1: but they presented in a way where they were able 333 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 1: to talk about it and it wasn't a screaming match. 334 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,120 Speaker 1: It was sort of like, I feel this way about you, Dad, 335 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 1: and they talked about it. This one right here was disappointing. 336 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 1: But what I will say is this it's the first 337 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:31,880 Speaker 1: episode out of many to come, so obviously I'm looking 338 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:35,440 Speaker 1: forward to seeing more to come. But Salt Lake City, 339 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,680 Speaker 1: we have a problem. And what I hope we don't 340 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 1: get into is these ladies feel like they have to 341 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 1: be caricatures of themselves in order to be interesting and entertaining, 342 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:51,720 Speaker 1: and I hope that they give back to knowing that 343 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:53,440 Speaker 1: the reason why we all fell in love with this 344 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:57,119 Speaker 1: show is yes, it's different, it's unique, but at the 345 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:01,960 Speaker 1: end of the day, they came across real and for me, 346 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 1: this was nothing but an AI version of the show. 347 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 1: Reality with the King is executive produced by me Carlos King, 348 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 1: produced by Lizzie Nimitz, and a partnership with The Lack 349 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 1: Effect Network.
