In November’s crossover episode between “Mormon Land” and “Mormons in Media,” Latter-day Saint Rebbie Brassfield and non-Latter-day Saint Nicole Weaver are joined by Tribune humor columnist Eli McCann for a deep dive into Bravo’s “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.”
Nicole is shocked that Rebbie has not seen a single episode of the franchise, but Eli has given her two episodes to watch to try and get her on board. The two episodes? Think “Jen Shah arrest” and “high body count hair.”
The three discuss why they think the SLC franchise of the show is the most popular, and what makes it so different than “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.”
