Welcome back to Showmance, home of the world famous deep dive. This week on RHOSLC, season 6, episode 5, Whitney invites a psychic named Terrence from New York to spread some positivity, which Mary quickly identifies as Satan’s favorite party trick. Honestly, she’s not wrong. Every time Terrence talks, the temperature drops ten degrees and someone starts crying.Heather’s suddenly the voice of reason, which feels… suspicious. At first, it looked like she came into the season ready to defend Lisa — the people’s Mormon — but now it’s giving “producer’s golden child who knows where the season’s headed.” She’s playing chess while everyone else is flipping tables.Her move? Position herself as the rational peacekeeper who initially sides with Lisa, only to pivot when Lisa self-destructs. That way, the audience sees Heather as loyal, objective, and emotionally literate - three traits no Housewife should have but here we are.The conspiracy theory writes itself: Lisa’s contract negotiations lined up perfectly with her on-screen meltdown. Add in budget cuts, a late start to filming, and a few lawsuits? You get a showrunner’s dream: a self-combusting main character who can’t claim “bad edit” when she’s serving chaos on tap.Angie Katsanevas is a woman with no chill and even less self-awareness. Every single person at the table tells her to calm down, but she treats that advice like an eviction notice. She’s so reactive that even Cher could’ve helicoptered in with a Moonstruck slap and Angie still would’ve screamed, “Lisa started it!”Watching her implode was like watching a Bravo Greek tragedy: each comeback more tragic than the last. Her attempt to “prove” she didn’t use someone else’s credit card by tossing her cards across the table? Unhinged performance art.She’s so fixated on Lisa ruining her reputation that she doesn’t realize she’s doing the heavy lifting. Angie’s not hiding anything, but she’s acting like she is, which is exactly how Lisa wins. If Angie doesn’t learn self-control, she’s not going to replace Lisa as HBIC, she’s going to become Lisa 2.0.Lisa is giving peak delusional Housewives energy this seasonHer “you’re shorter than me” comeback was a low-calorie insult that burned zero calories and fewer bridges. And when she accuses Angie of everything she herself does — gaslighting, using people, maintaining a “perfect image” — it’s pure Tamra vs. Gretchen déjà vu.Then she waltzes into her psychic reading pretending to be human again, only to break down when Terrence says she and John aren’t “on the same team.” (Subtle, Bravo. Very subtle.) Between that and the rumors from WWHL, it’s feeling like we’re being nudged toward a “Lisa’s marriage mystery” plotline whether we asked for it or not.Mary Cosby remains the only one speaking in full parables. When Angie demands to be heard and Mary claps back with, “You always want people to listen, but you never listen,” it’s the kind of line that deserves its own stained-glass window. Also, she’s right — if she ever launches Mary Cosby’s True Crime Corner, I’m subscribing.Brittani remains delightfully unserious. Her unsolicited Zillow critique of Angie’s house sale was tone-deaf perfection. She’s the kind of person who would tell you your outfit’s ugly at your wedding.Her psychic reading was unintentionally hilarious: she responds to emotional advice with the same chirpy voice she uses when pretending to understand basic human empathy. Also, the irony of being called a gold digger while your boyfriend literally calls you a gold digger? Chef’s kiss.#RHOSLC #RealHousewives #SaltLakeCity #LisaBarlow #AngieKatsanevas #HeatherGay #MaryCosby #WhitneyRose #BravoTV #RealityRecap #SoupGate #WindTunnel #PsychicDrama #DarkHumor #SnarkRecap #Showmance #NOWDIFYStudios #earthworksaudioS6 E5
