RHOSLC S7E9: Angie Has to Earn Mary's Forgiveness

Régine is back with another Reality Check, and this week she's not particularly impressed with The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City . Spoilers for RHOSLC Season 7, Episode 9.

The biggest conversation is Angie's attempt to repair her friendship with Mary. Régine agrees with Heather and Lisa for holding Angie accountable, while also giving her some grace because of what she's dealing with in her marriage.

But that doesn't mean Mary owes her immediate forgiveness. An apology has to be backed up by genuine effort and changed behavior.

Régine also isn't buying Whitney and Justin's ongoing marriage uncertainty. She questions whether Whitney's tears and desire to live separately feel genuine, or whether the situation is being stretched into a storyline.

Meanwhile, Meredith's new caviar lounge has Régine wondering about the business plan, its purpose, and whether there's enough there to sustain it. Looking at RHOSLC alongside RHOP, Régine reflects on how much marriage drama these franchises are putting in front of viewers.

And despite her criticism of this episode, she has a clear diagnosis for the show: these women are much more entertaining when they're together. The split-cast format simply isn't working for her.
