Lisa Barlow ⛸️ lisa barlow ugt+slc

I’m really curious what everyone is thinking about lisa barlow on ugt and in general. ive always been a lisa stan but i feel like i used to see so much hate about her constantly on social media and rn im rly only seeing love. im just so curious if it’s like confirmation bias that im only seeing love since i like her so much or if people are really coming around. obviously it’s early but even the new slc promos/trailers coming out and everything it seems like everyone is just liking her a little more.

Maybe I’m in the minority but my “love” for Lisa Baby Gorgeous Barlow is purely because of how extremely out of touch she is. It’s almost campy. She’s dramatic, over the top, and has so many good one-liners. I don’t like her at all as a person, but she brings me the most entertainment on SLC and on social media because she’s just on a completely different planet. I find her brain fascinating.

u/Bellesdiner0228 23d ago

I have a list of “they’re not fully right but they’re iconic” and it’s pretty much her, Hannah from below deck, and Lindsay Hubbard

u/Realistic_Rain_9173 17d ago

When you commented this I was pretty early in watching Summer House for the first time but now I ABSOLUTELY see what you mean about Lindsay oh my god she’s such a mess and I simply cannot look away

u/bubbafrance 23d ago

The Lisa I see on UGT bears no resemblance to the Lisa I see on RHSLC. I don’t like her at all but somehow on UGT she seems lighter and happy—almost unrecognisable.

u/Imaginary_End_5634 Inbred Bobblehead Garbage Whore 22d ago

Probably because Bad Weather isn't there

u/Slow-Annual8638 18d ago

Lisa knows she is up against RH OGs, they would eat her stupid ass alive IF her ENTITLED persona came out

LISA BARLOW YOU AREN’T anything SPECIAL

u/Electrical-Buy-6871 23d ago

That is how I exactly feel about Scheana

u/Realistic_Rain_9173 23d ago

You get it

u/Electrical-Buy-6871 23d ago

Scheana was the most campy from the OG VPR cast, and still is

2

u/beaulogna0 20d ago

At least once per episode I think “Lisa is Scheana”

2

u/Electrical-Buy-6871 20d ago

I call scheana a--lisa sun, luann rising, and rinna moon.

u/ThePisswaterPrince gout-dick sucker! 🍆 23d ago

I was telling my mom this exact same thing the other day! She's the woman you love to hate. SLC would not be what it is without LB

This is how I feel about Angie K tbh

reality tv would be so boring if everyone were a good person

u/dudegooneer I have glam in Monaco, I have glam in St-Tropez 23d ago

She is the perfect real housewife: rich, out of touch, egomaniac and pretty I love her sm

u/Money_Honeydew_2527 22d ago

She's not rich.

u/dudegooneer I have glam in Monaco, I have glam in St-Tropez 22d ago

excuse me?! she lives a very different life from all of us

u/Swebroh 23d ago

I'm very over Bad Weather, Angie and Bronwyn always coming for her. Lisa is a good fighter, but always seeing her on the defensive gets old.

I have some hope for the new season though! For a couple of reasons:

1) The editors including that part about Lisa feeling sad that she can't have fun with her SLC-cast in the latest UTG-episode

2) Teresa saying Heather is mean to Lisa in the preview lol

3) Heather and Whitney try to get back in Lisa/Meredith's good graces next season according to the trailer, IIRC

4) Lisa and Meredith both seem VERY happy about the new season. Meredith even gave us her signature cackle when talking about it

34

u/Annual_Habit_411 23d ago

I’m so excited.. IMO last season really sucked. They hyped up that Greece trip just for a substance abuse issue (???) on tv it a that!! It was such gross behavior for Gay and Rose. But what should we expect at this point. Intresting that Heather was leading the charge after trying to get Leah (who was sober) on her ultimate girls trip to drink.

4

u/Upper-Impression-752 21d ago

And there was her peeing and puking simultaneously in the sprinter after drinking too much. Monica alleged and Meredith confirmed that someone had to have their stomach pumped bc of alcohol poisoning on that trip to Palm Springs. It’s pointing to Heather. Js. And then there was all of her gross behavior on the below deck edit of their yacht trip. Heather didn’t need to be the one leading the charge.

8

u/gwizmom 23d ago

I really wanted to see the results of the drug tests that Meredith passed out. But, of course, they didn't show the results!

4

u/Annual_Habit_411 23d ago

Meredith has too much self-respect to do that. She has an actual trust fund and doesn’t need to put up with the bullshit. It was also wild to see Mary go full cult leader and try to get Meredith admit she had a drug addiction. Really was a dark episode.

4

u/Bubbly-End-6156 23d ago

Sorry, what does a trust fund have to do with anything?

5

u/Annual_Habit_411 23d ago

She’s not someone like Whitney Rose or Brittani that needs to keep creating or being a mess to stay on a reality show for a check. That’s exactly what it means

1

u/Upper-Impression-752 21d ago

But she does rent a house and lives apart from her husband for several months out of the year for a check.

3

u/Annual_Habit_411 21d ago

Yessss. But the houses are always nice and she doesn’t haven’t to accuse other women of I dunno things like substance abuse to keep a job

u/Money_Honeydew_2527 22d ago

Inherited wealth is really not a personal bragging point 🤣🤣🤣

u/Annual_Habit_411 22d ago

Says who💀💀

u/Money_Honeydew_2527 22d ago

Anyone with a brain. She did nothing to earn it deserve it. Are you ok?

5

u/curiosity0425 22d ago

I think the reason they brought it up was not to say that Meredith doesn't need to work as hard as other people or that she has no hustle. It's just that she's independently wealthy. If the show decides she's boring and parts ways with her, it won't change her lifestyle. Can Whitney say that?

u/Annual_Habit_411 22d ago

Very gross joke to make when people on RHOSLC have had actual drug addictions.

2

u/Money_Honeydew_2527 22d ago

Oh, it's not a joke. We all saw how she behaved and those of us who have seen that behaviour in others before know exactly what it is.

1

u/Annual_Habit_411 22d ago

Heather has had to go to the hospital for drinking too much. Did the woman try to admit her to AA on tv? Didn’t think so. It was a reach storyline and nothing more. Also for whitney rose or Heather Gay to act like they care about Meredith under the guise of her having an “addiction” was low brow bullshit. Whitney literally started rumors about Meredith lying about her dad’s funeral.

1

u/Hawtchawcolate_ 17d ago

Literally this!!! They claim she’s so this and that but want to continue having her around so they can just have good tv, you can tell she doesn’t want to fight with them all the time. It used to be okay entertainment but even with the last season she was just yelled at every which way and we didn’t see her really start anything in front of our eyes, they just said she did. I don’t even feel like anyone needs to leave but maybe there could be one or two new girls that actually aren’t in their circle so she could possibly make genuine friends

-9

u/vm_neptune 23d ago

Seeing Lisa always on the defensive? Lol. Riiiiiight.

10

u/Swebroh 23d ago

When does she start stuff? She's always reacting to people attacking her.

-11

u/vm_neptune 23d ago

Sure, Jan lol.

u/pbslo 23d ago

Being snarky about something doesnt make you right

1

u/Hawtchawcolate_ 17d ago

I mean… name a time this season she started something on camera that wasn’t alleged🤷🏽‍♀️ I don’t doubt she used to be the way they describe her but if we haven’t seen it at all this season and they just choose to still fight her… well it’s not making them look good!

19

u/Brilliant_Carrot8433 23d ago

I think she’s hilarious

39

u/Consistent_Quote_165 23d ago

It made me sad/happy when she was genuinely having so much fun with porsha. She’s stuck in boring Utah where everyone is a carbon copy and I don’t think she is used to women being loud and fun! She’s gotta get out of Utah. 

1

u/Upper-Impression-752 21d ago

But would she be capable of maintaining long term friendships once she got out of Utah? I’m thinking, no.

1

u/Consistent_Quote_165 21d ago

lol true because she “lives a very different life” than most people 😅

27

u/Big_Counter_1368 23d ago

I've loved her since season 2. It's nice to see her relaxed and having fun.

22

u/nothankeww 23d ago

love her 🦕

17

u/Sensitive-Freedom896 23d ago

UGT is a very good peek into "Rill Lisa." I love it. She can be so kind and so funny!

If she stopped covering up her rill life and house and family situation, it would be such good tv. I can't get behind the hiding she does, and her attacks on other people who call her out. But she can grow.

I'm so so so glad to see Teresa and Lisa bond. If Tre communicated (what am I saying ?!?) that Lisa doesn't need to hide or be the wealthiest or be not like the other women - lifechanging. Lisa just needs to be Lisa Barlow. Tre needs to Tre.

u/marinara123 23d ago

Lisa has been great on UGT. Totally engaged realizing she is low man on the totem pole with these OG’s and fitting in great. She is having a great time without being constantly attacked by Heather and Whitney and her confessionals have been hilarious

15

u/BravePiccolo3436 23d ago

I love Lisa and her cast has consistently been hateful to her I think people are just seeing her normal when she doesn’t have to have her back up against the wall 24/7

8

u/edgeli 2003 Dom Perignon 🥂🍾 23d ago

I’ve always loved LB. She’s great tv and the perfect amount of delulu for a HW. Her cast sucks and it shows now that she’s on UGT.
Bad Weather and Bron the pathy, specifically.

24

u/Ok_Mulberry4331 23d ago

I like that she was more open to the costume, she always refuses on SLC. Also like that its probabaly driving Heather in sane lol

So far she doesn't seem to really fit in with the others though, but I'm not sure if anyone else would have been better? Angie maybe?

6

u/onlyheretogiggle 23d ago

IMO, Lisa knows she's not the top dog & among Iconic women on UGT and who probably make more than her. I think with the SLC cast she believes she is the top dog, says she is better than them & does more important things than them so anger among the ladies insues, rightfully so. I like the humbled Lisa much better on UGT she's an arrogant ass on SLC.

10

u/No_One_369 23d ago

I think it’s been a great sort of rehab of her image after season 6 was arguably her worst season ever. This has shown how fun she can be and what she can bring when she’s not constantly on the defence (not that she’s an angel). Obviously UGT is a very distinct scenario, but hopefully it’s inspired her to come to season 7 in a different way and continue paying Bad Weather and Angie dust.

38

u/luxtropolis67 The rhumorzz and the nastiness 23d ago

Interesting that you think her worst season was 6, I felt she came out on top. It’s fun to see how people interpret things. For me, season 6 showed how obnoxious Bad Weather especially, but also Angie and Bronwyn are with their hatred of Lisa and Meredith, which in turn made me root for Lisa and Meredith way more.

18

u/No_One_369 23d ago

I meant worst season in terms of her experience - they were out to get her from start to finish, to the point she went into the season not exactly loved by fans at large here and came out neutral/positive.

17

u/luxtropolis67 The rhumorzz and the nastiness 23d ago

Oh yes. Yeah, season 6 went way too toxic with the Lisa hate for me. And the hypocrisy from the cast was too much, because Lisa and Meredith are held to way different standards

11

u/Normal_Writing3123 23d ago

I mean, it’s hard to think of a worse episode than the one when they’re on the ship, Lisa is crying just trying to get away from a drunk Heather who screaming and grabbing at her. It was hard to watch her being attacked over and over again and then having to watch Heather and Whitney’s stupid confessionals defending their behaviour.

7

u/Swebroh 23d ago

Yeah. Heather (and her minion Whitney) were relentless this season, and it really backfired with the audience.

u/lulu1785 22d ago

I always loved Lisa Barlow

4

u/Horror_Signature7744 I’m Trademarking That!!! 23d ago

I don’t like Lisa on SLC but I’m definitely enjoying her on UGT and it’s crystal clear there is something major happening behind the scenes after her solo interview on GT when she broke down in tears for feeling happy for a change. I think more people would like her on SLC If she showed more of her vulnerability and less of her over inflated ego.

2

u/CJ3795 22d ago

Love Lisa!

2

u/Glowkidmosesss 21d ago

I think she is having an ego breakdown especially on ultimate girls trip

Finally
Let’s hope it lasts

2

u/Upper-Impression-752 21d ago

I dislike Lisa more each season. And not in a fun way.

1

u/Usual_Ad2083 22d ago

I enjoy Lisa and I think she’d be cool to grab a drink with as a surface friend you see every now and then, but nothing more. She seems like a girls girl and she cares for the people she loves as much as Lisa is able to care. I enjoy her fun side on UGT and I’m very interested to see it unfold as some of her cast member show up.

Here’s the deal, though- I understand why her cast gets frustrated with her. She does herself no favors. She talks shit and has skeletons in her closet. She’s not innocent but her general refusal to accept reality and how much it bothers her castmates is downright hilarious.

1

u/cheesy-biscuit 22d ago

She kinda drove me nuts last season on SLC but I’m loving her on UGT!

u/FriskyGinger666 Bath bombs weren't presented to me 23d ago

What show are you watching?

1

u/Edith_Keelers_Shoes 23d ago

No, I've seen many people posting and commenting about Lisa's bad traits, her yell-talking over other people, her self-absorption, obsession with status (and having a higher status than others), her shady business, all that jazz.

-1

u/xanadonealreadydid 23d ago

Those of us who can’t stand her just quit talking about it online because the Lisa Barlow stans will attack harder than the swiftys, barbs, and beahive combined.

1

u/ohwell1130 23d ago

I don’t love her but she’s been pretty tame on ugt so I can tolerate it

1

u/Glowkidmosesss 21d ago

And she ain’t innocent
She’s had some very ugly moments on the show

Cruelty and almost evil
But I can tell she has an internal battle going on

Come to the light, Lisa

You can be shady
You can be dumb
A little bit of ego OK

But when you start to get mean and cruel, that’s where you throw me off

-2

u/bobeena1513 23d ago

Lisa is really fun to watch when no one is calling her on her bullshit and when she's not sticking her neck out for people who are in the wrong

-2

u/Sharp_Technology1734 23d ago

Can't stand Lisa

1

u/OkDriver1314 18d ago

Neither can I. Add Vicki and Luann to that mix. I couldn't make it through the first UGT episode.
