RHOSLC Recap: Episode Analysis

Why Andy Cohen Loved It

• The hosts suspect the story is exaggerated or strategically amped up by the cast, causing some skepticism.

Key Cast Dynamics

• Whitney confronts Bronwyn about her missing wedding ring and suspected issues with Todd. The women have strong opinions about sharing private details on camera.

Open Relationship Rumors (Bronwyn & Todd)

  • "I feel like maybe Bronwyn wants to be in an open relationship and she keeps using as an excuse...But why would she want that?" (32:57)
  • Teddi: "Because I think she wants to stay married to him and...But he keeps stepping out." (33:17)
• Debate over whether rumors about Todd's behavior hold weight.

Memorable Shady/Comic Moments

  • Tamra: "That...is a shitty smell. That's for sure." (37:55)

RHOSLC Episode Final Thoughts

• Both agree it was enjoyable, but not necessarily “top 10” as Andy Cohen claimed.
  • "It was a lot of personal story. It was a lot of relationship story...Would I agree with Andy Cohen? No, I don't think it was the best episode." – Tamra (38:06)
