The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City recently aired its season 6 finale, which provided several heated arguments and shady moments. The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City season finales usually provide viral moments, and season 6 was no different. This season finale also gave a preview of what to expect during the upcoming three-part reunion.
Recap of the season 6 The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City finale
The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City (RHOSLC) season 6 cast includes Lisa Barlow, Heather Gay, Mary Cosby, Meredith Marks, Whitney Rose, Angie Katsanevas, and Bronwyn Newport. Britani Bateman appears in a part-time role. The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City season 6 finale continued with the cast’s trip to Greece.
The season finale picks up with the last day of the girls’ trip to Greece. Newport reveals an off-camera conversation she had with Marks the previous night. This led to Newport and Marks having a heated confrontation about miscommunications regarding their conversation. Afterwards, the ladies go to meet Katsanevas’ cousin, who lives near Greece. The cordial and peaceful feelings from the lunch did not last for long. On the way back, Newport and Marks get into another heated argument in the sprinter van about their off-camera conversation. Newport felt that Marks was trying to twist their off-camera conversation.
During the final night in Greece, the ladies go to an ancient Greek-style play about their lives and friend group. A few days before the final night, the cast met with a playwright who asked about themselves and their perspectives on other cast members. The play that was performed revealed very shady moments that included how the women feel about each other. For example, the play started out by describing Heather Gay as “a joke wrapped in mascara.”
The play concludes, and the ladies discuss the play. During the post-play discussion, Cosby shares her concerns for Marks based on Marks’ behavior on the trip. Newport also shares how she saw Marks’ husband with another woman. Marks’ disengages from the conversation, and Barlow defends her. The episode ends with Gay giving Barlow and Marks an ultimatum to either leave or stay to resolve the issues.
The RHOSLC pattern of viral season finale moments
Out of all of the Real Housewives franchises, The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City‘s most recent seasons have had a pattern of viral season finale moments. Real Housewives season finales usually include an event with the entire cast to wrap up the season before the reunion. Recent RHOSLC season finales have ended during cast trips and provided several unforgettable moments.
Season 5 of RHOSLC provided several memorable moments, including the season finale. During this finale, the cast was asked to read out loud their meanest text message about another cast member. Exchanging these text messages was supposed to help the group move forward from past issues. These text message exchange moments went viral, with some of the text messages being entertaining to hear. One notable text message exchange was from Angie Katsanevas to Bronwyn Newport. In a text to Heather Gay, Katsanevas said that Newport’s business plan involved “marrying a guy with one foot in the grave and one on a banana peel” and how Newport “doesn’t listen because her ears are stitched down to her face so tight.”
In addition, the season 4 RHOSLC finale provided several moments that went viral on social media and continue to be talked about today. This specific season finale took place on the cast’s trip to Bermuda and showed the cast confronting Monica Garcia about running a troll account on social media. The account, titled Reality Von Tease, allegedly spread misinformation about the cast members. This confrontation led to Heather Gay’s infamous “receipts, proof, timeline, screenshots” phrase. Other noteable moments included Angie Katsanevas almost throwing a vase of flowers at Garcia and Lisa Barlow getting into a screaming match with Garcia too.
How does the season 6 finale compare to other RHOSLC season finales?
Prior to the RHOSLC season 6 finale airing, this season finale had a lot to live up to because the most recent season finales have been widely talked about. Between season 5’s text message exchange and season 4’s confrontation, RHOSLC has had major season finale moments. In comparison to other RHOSLC season finales, the season 6 finale followed a similar pattern that has been seen with recent RHOSLC season finales. This season finale had several arguments between cast members with some entertaining moments too.
Specifically, the ancient Greek-style play about the women and their perspectives on each other had some unforgettable moments. The play included several shady remarks that represented how the women felt about each other, such as another moment where they described Bronwyn Newport as not two-faced, but “no-faced.” In addition to the play, there were several arguments between the cast members. From Marks and Newport’s new feud to most of the cast confronting Marks, this season finale featured major moments. There were also unresolved group dynamics that could be addressed at the upcoming reunion.
The season 6 finale seemed to follow the same pattern as recent RHOSLC season finales. The ancient Greek-style play gave several shady and entertaining moments. In addition, this season finale also brought some drama between the cast members throughout the episode. And an intense yet emotional confrontation at the end made it unclear how the group moves forward. Similar to the text message exchange and Reality Von Tease reveal from past seasons, season 6 proved to fit in with recent RHOSLC season finale moments.
What to expect during the season 6 reunion
The season 6 Real Housewives of Salt Lake City three-part reunion will begin to air on Tuesday, January 13, 2025. Real Housewives reunions air in the weeks after the season finale. They are meant to be a platform to hash out issues from the season and to move forward. While there aren’t many details about the reunion before it airs, the season 6 reunion trailer teases what can be expected.
One of the most notable moments from the preview was Bronwyn Newport announcing that she has separated from her husband. Newport revealed, “so Todd and I are separated,” leading to the cast’s reactions in shock. The news comes after Newport’s representative confirmed the separation to People. This confirmation came after rumors started online about Newport announcing her separation at the season 6 reunion.
In addition, the reunion trailer also teased more to expect. Specifically, the preview showed Meredith Marks continuing her feuds with Heather Gay and Whitney Rose. Lisa Barlow and Angie Katsanevas also continued their arguments.
While the season reunion is meant to resolve conflicts, the preview teased several cast member walk-offs. Whitney Rose and Britani Bateman were both shown to walk off the reunion set. And in a seemingly reunion first, Andy Cohen walked off the reunion set while hosting. Many Real Housewives cast members have walked off the reunion set in the past, but this was the first time that Andy Cohen walked off the set. This could be a tease that the season 6 RHOSLC reunion will be intense and dramatic.
The three-part season 6 reunion will be a must-watch television event to see where The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City stand after season 6.
