This is purely my opinion, but I have a feeling the other shoe is eventually going to drop.

Anthony is obviously a successful attorney, and yes, that line of work can make serious money. But the level of wealth and spending they display has always made me raise an eyebrow.

Maybe I’m completely wrong. But after watching Housewives for years, we’ve seen this movie before. The Girardis looked untouchable until they weren’t.

I also can’t help but notice the irony that Nicole grew up watching her father go to prison for financial crimes, yet once again she’s attached to someone whose finances have always made people curious.

I’m not accusing Anthony of committing a crime. I’m just saying that if, five years from now, there were investigations into their finances, I genuinely wouldn’t be shocked. And if there really is nothing to hide, then great. But I do wonder whether Nicole stepping away from reality TV was, at least in part, wanting more privacy before Bravo inevitably started asking harder questions.🫪

This is a genuine discussion because literally no one in my life watches Housewives, so I’m curious if anyone else has had this thought.

Does anyone else wonder if Bronwyn actively pursued RHOSLC because she saw the writing on the wall with Todd and wanted to build her own platform and income? It kind of reminds me of Camille Grammer joining RHOBH before her marriage to Kelsey imploded.

I’m not saying that’s what happened, and this isn’t meant to be a snark post. I just keep coming back to the timing and can’t tell if I’m connecting dots that aren’t there.😭

Am I completely off base, or has anyone else had the same thought?

Hear me out. 😭 I genuinely think RHOSLC needs a cast shake-up.

Love them or hate them, Lisa and Meredith are the story. Everyone else’s storyline somehow ends up revolving around them.

Heather gives us… what, exactly? Whitney’s MLM business and marriage never actually go anywhere. Angie is likable, but there’s just not enough happening in her personal life to anchor a season. Bronwyn keeps too much off-camera. Mary (love her and genuinely wish her healing ❤️) is on a completely different journey right now. And Britani… girl, next.

Meanwhile, Lisa is delusional, chaotic, unintentionally hilarious, and somehow manages to be the center of everyone else’s season. Meredith isn’t far behind. Whitney spent half the season making Meredith her storyline while avoiding her own issues. It felt like projection more than anything.

I’d keep Lisa and Meredith and recast around them. Right now it feels like everyone else is auditioning for a role in their storylines instead of creating storylines of their own.

Am I totally off base, or does the show need fresh blood?

I swear every time Sophie disagrees, Christy acts like HR just joined the call. 😭 Let yourself disagree! That’s why people listen to podcasts. I’d rather hear two people genuinely debate than listen to someone immediately file an apology for having a take.
