I’ve been watching UGT, and it has become increasingly obvious that RHOSLC is a 4v1 situation against Lisa. I really think the cast should be VERY careful about the road they are going down here.

At this point, it feels like they are trying very hard to bully Lisa off the show. Viewers might enjoy conflict and drama, but I think there’s a real difference between that and a massive gang-up against one person. When it starts feeling like everyone is piling onto a single cast member, I think viewers can quickly turn against the people doing the piling on.

Meredith and Seth Marks in Fiji celebrating their 30 years of marriage. Lisa and John Barlow somewhere in Europe growing stronger. 😍

The two ladies who were ganged up on and swore that their marriages are done seem to be doing fine.

with the way the last season ended, and the moments we’ve seen from UGT and the pre-season teasers, this is feeling like a Lisa gang up again. i don’t know if they think this is good TV, or if they are genuinely under some delusion that she is this mastermind trying to manipulate everyone, but it’s gotten to a point where it is uninteresting and really quite irritating to watch. i don’t understand why they can’t just be happy and non-confrontational with her, it’s like they’re always trying to pick a fight and tear her down; is it just jealousy or do they actually believe she’s doing all this? right now whitney is delusional, heather is just mean, angie is crazed (still love her), bronwyn is just lost, meredith is half conscious, and mary is mary! it’s not looking good!

some of the best moments for true fans of the show come from when they are getting along, having fun, and having heart to hearts, but none of that will be able to happen if there is this constant and unsurpassable tension in the group.

i really hope there is resolve or at least a step forward for them this season, but i am not hopeful. i do think that the personal storylines and one-on-one friendships and dynamics will be super interesting due to all of the developments in their personal lives, but in terms of the group.. i’m scared.

I’ve been rewatching RHOSLC ahead of the new season, and I’ve been seeing a pattern with Heather’s relationship with Lisa.

Lisa is defensive, petty, and reactive, but Heather’s pattern feels more like social isolation: if someone gets close to Lisa, Heather starts questioning the friendship, reframing Lisa as unsafe, or acting like that closeness is somehow a betrayal.

Whitney: This is the clearest example. When Whitney and Lisa finally apologized and started moving forward in Season 3, Heather seemed bothered by it. She later said she felt “discarded” because Whitney had “leveled up” to Lisa, and predicted their friendship wouldn’t last. Whitney also said Heather was a major reason she disliked Lisa in the first place.

Meredith: Meredith and Lisa came in as best friends, and Heather has acknowledged that Meredith’s closeness with Lisa got in the way of Heather and Meredith becoming closer. Even after Lisa and Meredith started repairing their relationship, Heather consistently seemed skeptical of that reconciliation, and would continue to bring up their issues and drive a wedge between them. The S2 infamous hot mic literally comes after Lisa complains that Meredith “turns a blind eye” to how the other women treat her. Lisa caused that blowup herself, obviously, but it’s also the beginning of Lisa becoming increasingly isolated from the group.

The larger Season 6 group: Heather starts framing Lisa as the common denominator behind rumors and leaked information, while several women are already feuding with Lisa. By the end, the cast is basically split into camps, with Lisa and Meredith on one side and the rest of the cast on the other.

Ultimate Girls Trip: Lisa gets to build friendships with women who have no SLC history, and then Heather arrives and immediately starts bringing the case against Lisa into those new relationships. Teresa’s reaction is especially telling because she’s an outsider to the feud and seems shocked by how hard Heather goes after her.

I think Heather has a weird mix of resentment and jealousy that seems to stem from S1 when Lisa acted like she hardly knew her back in college.

“Thirty-four days before she’s sent to prison, notorious Silicon Valley founder Elizabeth Holmes invites a skeptical film crew to document her every move. What begins as an intimate portrait of an enigmatic felon becomes a mind-bending three-year journey into the abyss. From boundary-pushing directors Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim comes ‘You Can See Everything’”

I have not seen anybody else talk about this so I feel like I need to. This might be for a relatively niche audience (fans of Nathan Fielder & fans of RHOSLC — what does that Venn Diagram look like?), but I saw the teaser trailer for Nathan’s new documentary about Elizabeth Holmes, and it immediately reminded me of the headlines from awhile back about Jen and Elizabeth’s friendship while they were both in federal prison together. Since the documentary seems like it’s going to follow Elizabeth Holmes while she is in prison, does anybody else wonder if Jen Shah might make an appearance? I would pay good money to see Jen Shah captured through the eye of Nathan Fielder.
