[housewife] Previously on
The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City
Hi, y'all.
You're insinuating
what you think is better
than what I say? No, I'm real.
We were brought up
very [bleep] differently.
-Don't curse at me.
-Don't wave your finger
-and don't open those eyeballs at me.
-And don't get ghetto.
What are we gonna do about you and Jen?
I'm so done.
-What are you doing the rest of the day?
-We're going on a double date today?
-Yeah.
-Ooh.
Seeing my daughter's ability
to successfully navigate a relationship
is really giving me hope for myself.
When ski season's over,
are you gonna come live with me
in Canton, Ohio?
No, we're not living in Ohio.
It's been a hard couple of weeks.
Maybe me being out of the picture
will help you find what you want,
and maybe I'm not in the picture.
[whispers] I don't disagree.
In this town, I'm Queen Bee and MVP.
When you take cheap shots,
always expect a hangover.
This rose isn't scared
to handle a little prick.
Jealousy is a disease
to which I say, "Get well soon."
I love God,
but I will read you like a scripture.
Just like my pioneer ancestors,
I'm trying to blaze a new trail.
[energetic music]
[Lisa] I have so much to do today.
So many events around Sundance.
CNN Lounge, WME Lounge,
New York Magazine party.
When do we have to go meet with
Twist about the VIDA Lounge?
Are you gonna stay asleep?
[murmurs] What?
You gotta open your eyes
and look at me for a minute.
-What do you think?
-Yeah.
-Are you up for it?
-Yeah.
-[Heather] Hi.
-[Georgia] Hi.
-Are you ready?
-Did you load this dishwasher?
-Mm-mm.
-There's, like, actual oatmeal in it.
I'm re-running it.
-Weird.
-It is weird.
Hi, Boo.
Uh, 6:56.
We gotta go. You gotta go.
I'm gonna get my shoes.
Mom's gonna make us late again.
[music continues]
Give us a walk. Ooh, she coming!
-Yum.
-Wow.
I've gotta figure out how to turn in this.
I'm not used to having a train.
The only thing we might wanna do
is maybe adjust the sleeve,
-just shorten it a little bit.
-Okay.
Well, it's the very first
Park City Fashion Week.
We already have all of
the world's eyes looking at us
at the Film Festival anyways.
Is Brooks your youngest designer
in the show?
-He is, and we're so happy
-[Brooks] Wow.
To incorporate him,
and you can be right out front.
They're gonna have a spotlight
on you. [laughs]
-Oh, I'm walking?
-Yeah.
Mom, why did you not tell me about that?
I did mention it.
I would've started a juice
cleanse, like, last week.
[upbeat music continues]
[funky music]
Stuart!
[Stuart] Oh, jeez. What are you doing now?
I love the skates.
This is our team building
for this week roller skates.
-Roller skates?
-Roller skates and then hula hooping.
Let's just go over
the whole Sundance calendar.
Okay, we've got your party
the screening party.
Oh, [bleep]!
[chuckles]
I think we need to try it again.
-Okay, you're fired.
-[laughs]
Normally, Stuart and I would be
on conference call meetings,
staff meetings, doing our planning,
our forecasting.
That's our normal business day.
But this is Sundance week.
We need to get in party mode.
-Okay.
-Can you fan me while I hula hoop
-and while you talk to me?
-While we go through absolutely.
Okay, Justin's party.
Meredith's fashion show.
And I know that there's a couple
others that we talked about.
-What? Yeah, bitch. What, what?
-Look at you rocking it.
Did you see how long I did that for?
And then I've started your guest list
for the Sundance party.
And we can go through that.
So Tony was saying, like, 300 people.
-Okay.
-'Cause this is the VIP list.
It's not like everybody can come.
My cousin Tony Vainuku is a filmmaker,
and he is debuting his documentary
at Sundance this year.
There's three showings
of this documentary.
I'm only hosting the VIPs.
Stu
are you gonna be okay this Sundance?
Oh, I was I'm looking forward to it.
Remember when we went to
the party, like, two years ago,
-and you got totally drunk?
-Yes.
-And you thought you were a rapper?
-I'm trying to forget about that.
-And your name was Stu Chains.
-Stu Chains.
Don't be ashamed of Stu Chains.
Tell your bishop kiss your ass.
Your name is Stu Chains, okay?
Oh, I'm gonna drip some dollar bills
in his envelope.
Yeah, be like
"My name's Stu Chains, fast offering."
-Make it rain. [laughs]
-Yeah.
[bright music]
These are great. I love them.
They're better than a highboy
-because you can fit more people around.
-Yeah.
Like, angle, sit, stand. They're great.
Once these black and metal
and that bench are gone
And then these chairs are going,
and then that picture can go.
I have media going on the TVs.
I'm gonna pull those out
and put food on it.
My marketing company is Luxe Marketing,
and, you know, I'm busy year-round.
When it comes to Sundance,
I am my most busy.
I have ten days straight of nonstop events
for multiple businesses,
multiple companies,
night after night after night.
It is consummate. It is hard.
It's not for everyone, but I love it.
Some people call me the queen of Sundance.
I just think I'm really good at what I do.
I gotta go check on another venue.
[singsong] Hey, hey!
My upbringing is the reason
I am the way I am.
See this table between the womb chairs?
-Yes.
-Let's kill that.
I am one of six children, and I learned
if I wanted more, I had to work harder.
This is all going away.
This is all going away.
One of the things I love
about the LDS Church
is there's a constant pursuit
of being your best self.
And I love the standards I set for myself.
Okay, I gotta go check on another venue.
-Of course.
-Thank you.
John's here.
He's gonna pull in back right into there.
He's so, like, not loving this.
Two tables and four chairs.
I'm gonna go inside because it's cold.
Jillian, come with me.
We own everything together,
but days that Lisa is my boss
I think that's every day that ends in "y."
[Lisa] John is the best
'cause I would not do that for him.
I don't mind it at all.
I mean, she's a great boss.
The gold chairs are perfect.
We just need four in here.
We work really well together.
[producer]
Did Lisa prep you for this interview?
[laughter]
I can neither confirm nor deny. [laughs]
Let's go. Wanna drop me
off in front of China Street?
I'll get the Range Rover.
Thanks for helping me.
Sorry you got dragged into this.
We have so much going on.
I'm losing my mind.
That's what happens
when you're on one hour of sleep.
[John] One hour of sleep
with a hundred projects all at once.
Oh, my gosh.
We'll hurry, 'cause I gotta send wires.
-Yep, I'll hurry.
-We'll get this done fast.
Sorry I'm keeping you from doing your job.
[chuckles] You're helping me do my job.
I'm not paying you, though.
[bouncy music]
[Justin] So what do you think about
tonight?
-I'm excited.
-Good.
-Yeah. At the luncheon
-Yeah.
Jen got upset and left, so it ended
So have you had a chance
to talk to Jen about that?
-No. I have not.
-Tonight's the first night?
That's why I decided, you know, come over
-and have a hot tub party.
-Right on.
[knock on door]
-Is that her?
-Yeah.
-Hey, hey!
-Hey!
-Hi, hon.
-Hi!
Look at this sexy mama right here.
-I came in animal print.
-Yeah, this is perfect.
-[laughs]
-Yeah. Bye, Stu.
All right. Thanks, my man.
Do you wanna get your swimsuit on,
-and I can make us some drinks?
-Yes.
You can just go
in that half bath and change
-if that's okay.
-Okay, perfect.
I'll make you a tequila soda, right?
Okay. Thank you.
[light music]
I'm ready. [laughs]
-Oh, my God.
-I'm keeping it modest
with my one-piece.
This is like Cardi B. classy
with the little booty.
Oh, yeah.
Ooh, It's so good.
Amazing, huh?
This is great.
So who's gonna be
on the party bus tomorrow?
Me, you, Heather on the bus.
-Meredith will meet us there.
-Okay.
-And Lisa has an event for VIDA.
-Yeah.
Justin turns 52 this year,
and his birthday always falls
around the start of Sundance,
so it's always a big deal.
Every year, I go all out
because he has sacrificed so much
to be with me
his standing in the church,
strained relationships
with his children, his ex-wife,
all of it
so this is the opportunity for me
to show him how grateful I am
for him, and he deserves it.
You're gonna bring it. I'm gonna bring it.
All the girls are gonna bring it.
-Oh, yeah.
-Um
-Except Mary Cosby.
-Well, that's her choice.
-She doesn't have to.
-She won't bring it.
She never brings it, but that's okay.
Then we'll go to Kathryn's in the bus.
She's like the AARP. Like, she'll show up,
and then she'll be like,
"Oh, hmm, oh, no, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no, no,"
and then that's what she'll do.
I've said it once. I'll say it again.
I'm not about choosing teams.
I want everyone at Justin's party.
I have no issues. I like Mary.
Yeah, she's a bit crazy sometimes,
but she's my friend, and I want her there.
She's always been kind to me.
She's never done what she did
to you to me ever.
Whitney, I was [bleep] shocked
the way things went down.
Like, I wanted to go to Mary's luncheon,
and then I opened up
and I talked about my heritage,
and I'm, like, emotional and teary.
All of a sudden, she attacks me,
and then she called me a hoodlum.
When we were sitting,
she's like, "You're a hoodlum."
That's when I was like, "I've had enough."
Mary calling me a hoodlum and ghetto
that was the last straw.
You've already attacked who I am.
You've attacked me personally,
and I'm not okay with that.
You might not agree with the words I use,
which is why, again, Mary,
I'm trying to explain to you
and the group of women here
why I choose the words I do.
I didn't grow up with
a silver spoon in my mouth,
-you know?
-Yeah. And no one should tell you
-you should behave differently.
-No. That's why I'm like, Mary,
whether you married
your grandpa, your brother,
your husband like, who gives a [bleep]?
But don't treat other people
like they're less than you.
Tomorrow is about the party.
It's about celebrating my husband
-Justin.
-And fun.
I will not let any of that
go down tomorrow night.
[energetic music]
[cell phone rings]
-Hi, Meredith.
-[singsong] Hi.
-Are you getting ready?
-I am. I'm excited.
I think it will be really fun tonight.
So I have a question for you.
My friend Kim is producing
Park City Fashion Week for Sundance.
Okay.
And she had asked me
to see if you would be willing to walk.
[laughs]
Well, I'm honored she asked me,
and I would definitely consider it,
but I've never walked in a show before.
Kim's great, and if you're, like,
nervous about walking or whatever,
she'll give you a little lesson,
-you know, get you in good shape.
-Yeah.
Brooks said, "Make sure she knows
that it's the first
Park City Fashion Week ever."
It's history in the making.
You're part of it.
Oh! I love that.
[upbeat music]
It's Justin's birthday.
I just want a drama-free night.
I don't want any BS.
I don't want eye-rolling from Mary Cosby.
She definitely will not be on the party
bus 'cause that's not her thing,
'cause she's not fun like that.
Oh, my gosh. That looks so much better.
[line rings]
[Lisa] Hey, you, how are you?
-Hi, Lisa. How are you?
-Hi.
I was just trying to check in
and see how you're doing
with all your events and stuff
for Sundance.
Oh, my gosh. So crazy.
I have so much going on.
We have so many things happening.
Hey, how are you? Hi, Shawn.
You know, I have one thing
that I'll get you some details on.
[woman] Hi, Lisa. Sorry.
I just wanted to check in.
[Lisa] If we could just get through
-Um, hey, Meredith?
-Yeah.
Some of my AV guys just got here.
Thank you. I love you.
-Talk to you later. Love you, babe.
-Okay.
[upbeat music]
[Mary] I think I got my outfit ready.
-Okay.
-For Justin's party.
I think I might wear these shoes.
Well, they look so soft and
-plush.
-Yeah.
[singsong]
Let's get this party started!
-Okay, okay.
-Mm-mm! Let's start it!
Mm-mm, let's start it!
[laughs]
Charlinda is my grandmother's
brother's daughter,
and she's been with me
for, like, 20-something years.
I had Robert, and she came over
to give Robert a present
and fell in love and didn't leave.
We're not close at all.
Like, I don't know her life
and what she does
outside of what she helps me with.
Okay, I can do some breakdance.
-That is not good.
-[laughs]
But at the end of the day, we're family.
[cell phone rings]
-Hi.
-Hello!
-How are you?
-Good. How are you?
I'm great.
You look gorgeous.
You look gorgeous. You're looking good.
I've been wanting to check in with you
and see what's been going on.
I feel great.
I just move with that groove, baby.
Just keep it going.
Um, are you are you gonna come
to Justin's birthday party?
-I am.
-I'm only worried about you seeing Jen.
How are you feeling about it?
I plead the Fifth.
I know I'm gonna see Jen tonight.
That's inevitable.
And people are gonna not like each other.
That's the way life is.
But at the same time,
you wanna be able to get along.
You wanna be able to cope,
because I know
that she's not going anywhere.
So maybe we could come to agree
to something.
Hopefully, this will help
-Yeah.
-Bring closure.
-You know, have fun.
-Yeah.
I don't think anyone wants to
mess up Justin's birthday party.
-I'm looking forward to it.
-Me, too.
-Ciao. Love you more.
-Bye-ee!
[upbeat music]
[Whitney] It's my husband's birthday.
-[cheering]
-Sorry, kids!
[Justin]
Sorry, Mom and Dad. But I'm not sorry!
[cheering]
Every year, my friends look forward
to Justin's birthday party
because it gets bigger and better.
Just wait, babe.
It's going to be a crazy night.
I know. I can't wait.
Everyone, grab your stuff,
and let's get on the bus.
[Justin] Get on the bus.
-After you.
-I'll wait
[man] Oh, my goodness. I love it.
Whoo!
[woman] This my spot?
-[all] Justin Rose party don't stop!
-[cheering]
[all] Get it up, get it up, get it up,
get it up.
[Heather] I look forward to any party
with Whitney and Justin every year,
but especially Justin's birthday party,
because this is why he married Whitney.
She can turn it up.
She is decades younger,
decades sexier,
and she's not afraid to show it.
[cheering]
Let's go!
Every year, after we have fun
going up the canyon on the party bus,
we land at my friend Kathryn's house
in Deer Valley
where we always get the VIP treatment.
No rules were broken, I promise.
Thank you.
-Hello!
-How are you? What's going on?
-[Justin] You look fabulous.
-You look amazing.
-You look awesome. Yes.
-Thank you.
[energetic music]
[woman] Send me some pictures, okay?
Hi. Thank you.
So nice to have us. Thank you.
Kathryn is very well connected
in Park City.
She owns Park City Live.
It's the main club.
Anyone who's anyone
comes and performs there.
She's the queen of Sundance,
but don't tell Lisa.
Thank you.
-You look amazing.
-Hi!
Good to see you. Yeah, you look great.
I'm so glad to see you.
It's been a long journey
up here on the party bus.
-Happy birthday.
-Thank you.
Yeah. Looking dapper.
Oh, and the house looks amazing.
-Nice to meet you.
-How are you?
I haven't seen you
since we were just little kids.
-Cheers.
-I have to give you a hug
-for your birthday.
-Aw.
I really appreciate you coming
for my husband and for me.
I'm here for you.
I thought Lisa was coming,
so I bought her tequila.
-She's overscheduled to say the least.
-I know. Sundance has been
[Whitney] Let's do a quick toast.
[glass clinking]
Am I doing this right?
-To Justin Rose's birthday.
-Aw.
The sexiest mother[bleep] in here.
[cheering]
Happy birthday.
[Jen] Where's Mary Cosby?
Is she still here?
As far as I know, she's here.
[indistinct conversations]
-Cheers. Cheers.
-Cheers, ladies.
-Right now.
-Jen, Ms. Shah, cheers.
You don't gotta tell me twice. Cheers.
-No, no, girl.
-[laughs]
-To new beginnings.
-New beginnings.
-Yes!
-Yes!
What's up? You look cute. What's going on?
If I have to be around someone,
I don't wanna have to be fighting.
So I'm gonna talk to Jen tonight
and just make sure that we're good.
[suspenseful music]
[moody music]
[Mary] So how you feeling? Like, really.
Jen, it's been crazy. Come on.
We can talk about this another time, but
-Yeah.
-And you hurt my feelings,
-because I care about you.
-And I think honestly that what I said
is you can't take that I shut you down.
Like, I I just I ignored it.
Mary, you asked us at your luncheon
to all open up, and I wanted
to, like, honor you
as the hostess,
so I was trying to explain, like,
this is where I come from
and why I'm so passionate
and why I do the things I do,
but when I shared it
-I appreciate
-I think that triggered whatever
for you to interrupt at that point.
-I wanted you to open up.
-I wasn't done talking.
I will say what all you all are thinking
but don't wanna say. I'll say it.
I don't agree with me thinking
that you'll say what I say.
I know, Miss Mary,
you wouldn't say what I say.
I don't think anybody at the table
would say the things you said, sweetheart.
If I cut you off, I'm sorry,
'cause it wasn't my intention.
There was things that you
did that hurt me before that,
like, at the burlesque,
you started screaming,
"Marry your grandfather" and like
No, I didn't.
You're gonna go with Mary,
who [bleep] her grandfather?
I never said anything.
I never said anything. What are you
You were screaming things at me, Jen.
No, I wasn't.
She's straight up lying.
Okay, do you have a twin?
Or are you just not in reality?
-You know me
-I'm a factual person.
You know I'm factual,
so if I didn't see it
-with my own eyes
-Mary, come on.
I'll be honest, I was drinking that night.
I don't remember everything
I said, but what I do know,
I know I didn't say that to Mary's face,
because I never talked
to Mary that night one on one.
Now if I said something to someone else
Now, that's possible.
You're fake.
You're fake.
If you say you didn't say it,
then I don't care.
-I didn't say anything.
-Okay.
-So let's move on.
-Yeah, go, like
Let's put that stuff under the bridge.
I'm willing to do that.
I'm done with her.
I'm sorry. Is that too much?
Okay. [chuckles]
Yeah, I'm done with her.
-[Whitney] Thank you, Kathryn.
-You're welcome. Let's get crazy.
-[cheering]
-Get some shots?
[chanting] Shot, shot, shot, shot.
[bright music]
So what are we gonna pull
for the fashion show?
So the designer sent over all the looks.
-Okay.
-And we just have to decide
what we're gonna dress
each model in jewelry-wise.
-You're walking, right?
-[singsong] Yes, I am.
-Good, good.
-I'm ready to roll.
Park City is located
just outside of Salt Lake City,
and it is the cultural hub of Utah.
Every year, we have Sundance,
which casts an international
spotlight on Park City,
but this year it's even more exciting
because we also have
the first ever Park City Fashion Week.
I think we do these two.
I am walking in the show.
I will be wearing my own jewelry
and McKell Maddox's clothing,
and I just can't wait. I'm excited.
I sold a couple of
your, uh, sweatsuits yesterday.
-Yay.
-Yay!
-Yeah.
-We love that.
-I'm so happy.
-Mm-hmm.
I need to pull some of them
for the show on Sunday.
-You do? Okay.
-Yeah. Is that okay?
Yeah, but bring 'em back.
-Of course.
-We'll sell 'em.
Brooks has always loved fashion.
He would never let me pick out
his clothes.
He always wanted to dress himself.
I'm so proud of Brooks' ambition.
He's already produced
hundreds of tracksuits
that he will be debuting
at Park City Fashion Week.
To see him now flourishing
in this way is just incredible.
Mom, is Dad coming this weekend?
No, he can't. He really wanted to,
but he just can't.
Well, I really wanted him to, like,
support my first fashion show.
Well, I'm sure he would've
really loved to have done that,
but he he can't.
It makes me sad, the combination
of Seth and I not getting along,
and him taking over a new company in Ohio
has made it impossible
for him to be here for Brooks.
This is a very big deal for Brooks,
and I'm really sad that Seth and I
cannot be there together to see it.
And, like, Chloe's not coming.
Reid isn't coming.
Okay, well, honey, I'm here.
Don't I count?
Sally's here. Doesn't she count?
Yeah. You guys are
the best crowd I can have.
Exactly.
[dynamic upbeat music]
-Thank you, Gabby.
-Gonna be one of our best events ever.
I think so.
Everything you guys do is magic.
But this is, like, beyond.
This is one of the most amazing events
I have helped put together at Sundance.
Can someone sweep the floor real quick?
Dre, can we get an all hands, all staff?
This is completely open to the public.
We're giving away prizes, cash.
The walls are peel-away.
It's those game pieces
that were so coveted in the '90s.
Instant Winner. What?
There's a lot of pressure on this.
We have to execute so many details
in such a short time period.
All right, everybody,
five minutes till doors open!
Will you guys straighten up
the VIDA bottles? All of 'em.
The Sundance queen never disappoints.
I love it.
-[Dezi] Wanna eat some wings?
-[Jack] Yeah, bro.
Imagine if we made a huge mess
for my mom to come home to?
We just leave it.
Your mom would probably fire me.
Have you guys even seen your mom
at all recently?
-I haven't seen her.
-For, like, a night.
I saw her last night.
-Should we try calling her?
-Yeah.
All right, let's FaceTime her.
[laughs]
-[giggles]
-[line rings]
[Lisa] Like any working mother,
you know, we have to compartmentalize.
Do I go kill it with this,
or do I kill it in the home?
[line rings]
During Sundance, Mommy is MIA.
[phone ringing]
Oh, she declined it.
I do not answer my phone
unless it's work-related.
Like, the kids can fend for themselves.
-She's too busy.
-Whoa, that's mean.
That's so rude.
[mellow music]
[bell clanging]
Whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop.
-Hi, sis.
-[host] Here you are.
Thank you so much. Thank you.
-Hello.
-Hi.
We live to see another day.
-You wanna go to the bar, grab a drink?
-Yeah, let's go grab a drink.
Hi. We need a couple of drinks.
-Okay. What can I get for ya?
-How about a Mexican Mule?
-Mexican Mule?
-Yeah.
Can I just get
a Tito's and water with lime?
No problem. I'll bring those out for ya.
-Thank you.
-Thank you so much.
-A Mexican Mule?
-Yeah.
I learn something from you every time.
[light music]
-All right.
-Indy.
-Oh, yes.
-You're doing us right.
Tito's and water lime.
Can we start with some
of your parmesan fries?
-I'll have those out in a little bit.
-Thank you.
Wow.
It's so weird to drink a bar drink
from in Utah.
I'm just, like, this tastes like water.
Mormons aren't supposed
to drink alcohol at all.
The Mormon Church is the biggest
enterprise we have in Utah,
so the entire legislature
is really run by Mormons.
They can lobby for rules
that keep their patrons in line.
And one way to do that
is to limit the amount of alcohol
we can access,
so you'll get a single pour,
watered down, can't have two glasses
on the table at the same time.
And that's to make it hard
for closet Mormons like me
to get a buzz on.
-Fries for ya.
-Yes.
Anything else
I can grab you right now?
-Good for right now.
-Okay.
-Thank you.
-So last night, did you have fun?
It's just a small little
b-day party for Justin.
You killed it. It was so good.
'Cause you're like
climbing on your spouse,
taking shots from your belly button.
This is the thing that I love
about Justin.
I've said it from the time
I met you two together.
He embraces you exactly where you're at.
-Yeah.
-Let me ask you a question.
Are you, like, are you happy
being married?
Yes.
I get that feeling, and in a way,
it, like,
breaks my heart,
'cause I feel like, holy [bleep].
This is what I should've had.
This is the fairy tale
that actually exists.
I wasted 15 years of my life.
I definitely chose faith over love,
and I chose religion over love,
and I chose lifestyle over love.
I have deep, deep regret
about all of the choices I've made.
But you can't regret the children
that are born from a broken marriage.
They have made my life worth living,
but I wanted the whole package,
and that choice was taken away from me
when we got divorced,
and now I don't wanna have
anything to compare it to.
For me, the fairy tale is to be seen
for exactly who I am
and to still be loved.
Your version of the fairy tale exists.
You have to, like, put yourself out there.
You'll attract someone
that will love that.
I don't believe that. I think
I've known who I am for a long time,
but as soon as I show it,
I always just get my hand slapped.
-Keep going.
-Not in Utah, man.
-But you have
-The men in Utah are worth nothing.
-I'm not interested.
-But, Heather
My husband was the first man I slept with.
I was a virgin when I got married.
And so when I got divorced,
I felt deprived of the fact
that I had never been single and dated
and slept with a lot of
different kinds of people
and kind of explored who I was
and who I really found attractive.
I don't believe that the man
that I am gonna
-that's gonna see me and love me
-You don't know what that man
I think he lives in a big city
somewhere far away.
Well, you're not gonna find that
until you start building steps towards it
and making change, making new decisions,
and going in that direction.
I'm gonna say something
that might be hard to hear,
but I think you're making excuses,
so stop making excuses for it.
Okay, I'm just telling you
in this community,
I just can't find anyone that likes me.
-Okay.
-That's the [bleep] truth.
Wait. Is that the truth,
or is that an excuse?
That's the [bleep] truth.
That is not an excuse.
There's just not a lot of good,
older single men in Utah
that don't come
from this Mormon perspective
of what my role is and how I am
like an affront to that on every level.
You know, I'm divorced,
I drink, I have three kids.
Like, no one wants to take me home
to meet their mom and dad
for Sunday dinner.
Everything about me is wrong.
What are you wanting from men?
-I want
-Like, are you wanting to date?
To have fun,
and I want to be with a beautiful man.
I don't even know what he
looks like or I don't even care.
-Are you dating?
-Mostly just a man that sees me
and loves me.
No. I try, and they always just, like,
completely, like, are not into it.
-Really?
-It has been impossible for me
to date here in Utah.
Literally, I have tried. I went
on Bumble for, like, two weeks
and maybe went on four dates,
and they're all like, "You're a lot."
I want you to have your fairy tale,
and I know that you can get it.
[upbeat music]
Screen will be here,
so everybody on the entire main level,
regardless of which room they're in,
they can see this.
-With the bar.
-This feels like a VIP screening.
Oh, my gosh. You pulled this off
-in literally, like, ten hours.
-Thank you. You were so easy,
-and we have the same taste
-My gosh.
I feel like it was like creating
This whole thing came about because
Tony had three showings.
Then they got so many RSVPs.
-They didn't have room.
-He called me,
"Hey, cousin Jen, do you think
we could actually do
the 7:00 p.m. VIP party at your house?"
And you didn't have anything going on.
And I was like, are you serious?
Who is hiking in our backyard?
[laughter]
-Oh, it's the hot tub maintenance.
-They're coming for the hot tub.
Okay, well, you know what?
They need to announce themselves.
You get shot when you walk
in people's yards.
No kidding.
[dynamic music]
[Jen] Reefy, how does Mommy look?
You look good, Mom.
-On a scale from one to ten?
-Twelve.
-Good answer.
-Good answer.
-I'm a 12.
-You are a 12.
[energetic music]
Hi! Aah! [laughs]
-Oh, my gosh. You're stunning.
-Hello! Um, hello.
-Yes, ma'am.
-I did this for you.
This is out-[bleep]-rageous.
I'm so proud of my cousin
because he's representing Polynesians.
He's representing Tongans. He's my family,
and he's really made a name for himself.
-Nice to meet you. I'm Tay Krew.
-Nice to meet you. What's your name?
-I'm Tay Krew.
-Tay Krew?
-Yes.
-And that's Blake.
-Blake?
-Yes.
-Tay, Blake.
-And I'm his brother.
-Yeah, and I'm Blake's brother.
-I'm J. Boogie.
-J. Boogie.
-Oh, J. Boogie!
-[laughter]
-J. Boogie, J. Boogie.
[upbeat music]
Oh, my gosh.
Shah, you look amazing.
This is my bestie, Jen.
She's the hostess. This is her house!
-You're my BFF!
-BFF!
When I think of Sundance,
I think of, like, a brush
with the big life, a brush with fancy,
a brush with fun, and a chance to, like,
meet so many people from everywhere,
and there's a chance to meet
so many different men
from other areas and other cultures
that have not been raised in Utah.
That is the gift of Sundance.
It's total no strings attached.
How are you? How are you?
I'm always looking for sex,
but I am not looking for love.
That sounded horribly vulgar.
Can you delete?
You, like, delivered on the crowd.
It's Sundance, muscles.
This is a feeding frenzy for me.
It's a feeding frenzy.
-[Justin] This is pretty cool.
-I like the crystals.
-This is Reefy.
-Hi!
Hi.
-I'm Jen's sister.
-You're Jen's sister?
-Have I met you before?
-I think so.
Yeah, I have. Yeah.
-Hi!
-Yes!
-Hi.
-Hi!
You came!
[Whitney]
Lala and Katie are Salt Lake City locals.
I know Lala through a mutual friend,
so when I'd heard that they were
in town for the premiere
of Lala's new movie, Spree,
I insisted to Jen
that she invite 'em to her party
because they are so much fun.
I'm Lala. Are you a hugger?
[laughter]
You're so fun.
Okay, I wanna say thank you,
first of all, to Jen Shah.
This is her home.
-We thank you.
-[cheers and applause]
There's only way to do Sundance,
and apparently she knows how to do that.
So let's just get some silence,
and we will show you this film,
and we can move on with the party.
The documentary, Sincerely, 4TERNITY,
is about a local Utah rap group.
It documents their rags to riches story
and their road to success.
I think the message
that they're giving is very relatable
to the same thing kind of I went through,
and a lot of other people
that are minorities in Utah
will go through
because they're the underdog.
So I feel like to have
people like us be able
to see the success that you can do it,
it's important to me.
[cheering]
Thank you so much.
Thank you so much, everybody.
-You guys get a drink?
-We're about to.
Okay. Okay.
-I was born and raised in Park City.
-My ex is from Park City.
I mean, it's such a small world,
-but Utah is, like, even smaller.
-Yeah.
-Are you in a relationship now?
-No.
-I'm trying.
-Are you dating?
Not really, no. Tonight
Jen said this whole party's for me.
-I agree with her.
-I agree.
You can at least get laid.
-Yeah, for sure.
-Tonight's about you.
Let me holler at you for a minute.
-Yes.
-Are you single?
-Yes, I am.
-See my girl right here?
Fix me. Am I good? Am I good?
Katie, am I good?
-Do I have any, like, hangers?
-Do you need a shot?
[Jen] Talk to my girl over here.
What's going on?
What do you do for these guys?
-I just came to town to produce the event.
-I got it.
I appreciate that. I also
appreciate your mad-ass printer.
-This is the projector.
-I know. I'm just joking.
I'll tell you, like,
girls love men with big equipment.
And I mean, I noticed it
before I noticed you.
But, you know, you're secondary.
You're a consolation prize,
baby, but a good one.
-A good one, a good one.
-True, true.
They wanna get you drunk, Curtis.
I feel like we should
-get you drunk and see what happens.
-I can't drink.
I'm actually on my New Year's resolution.
Listen, I can do this
completely sober if you want.
-Not a problem.
-[laughs]
I'm not worried about any,
like, sort of fear of God nothin'.
I just take you stone-cold, baby.
It's good. I'm all good. I'm all good.
I can feel the vibe with Curtis.
I know it's happening.
I'm not gonna, like, linger
and let him find some other cougar
that's a little more aggressive
and more impressive than me.
I have to go out to the truck
and grab some stuff real quick.
Okay, just grab my hand.
Like what's happening?
Got it. Leaving. Mission accomplished.
[bell dings]
[Heather] You're so smooth. I love it.
Thank you. Bye!
As I'm watching Heather leave
the party with Curtis,
I want to yell across the room,
"Remember who you are! Return with honor!"
You know, all the things
that our Mormon parents said to us
as we were growing up?
Heather left with a guy together.
-That's awesome.
-Your party was successful.
-You killed it.
-Thank you, mama.
[lively music]
Brooks, are you ready to go?
[Brooks] Can you call Kim and tell her
I'm gonna be 15 minutes late?
This isn't a social thing.
This is a business thing.
It's not professional for you
to have your mother call.
You need to make the call yourself.
You gotta show up on time
for a fashion show.
It's just part of the deal.
Oh, my God, I forgot the socks.
But Brooks can get very anxious.
Where's my lint roller?
As a parent, it's hard to juggle
getting your kids
to be responsible for being on time
and the things they need to get done
with their stress levels.
I'm leaving in ten minutes.
I need a lint roller.
Should I just text Kim
and tell her that I'm going to be late,
-ask her if that's okay?
-You have to be on time.
[alarm wailing]
[Brooks] Come on!
-What the hell?
-What is that?
-[dog barking]
-Where is that coming from?
Were you, like, cooking something?
What the hell?
-Were you just cooking something?
-No.
-Were you cooking something?
-No! For the fourth time.
-I said no four times.
-[alarm continues blaring]
What the hell?
[Meredith] Oh, my God.
What's going on here?
[Brooks] Oh, my God. The toilet.
But why is that setting off the alarm?
-I don't know.
-Oh, my God.
What the hell?
There's toilet water all over me,
and I was supposed
to leave ten minutes ago!
-[Teddy barking]
-Shut the [bleep] up!
Mom, it literally won't turn off.
Okay, I can't I'm trying to
call the maintenance people.
-This is crazy.
-I can't do this right now!
Hi, Graham, it's Meredith Marks.
We have an urgent situation.
There is water everywhere.
One of the toilets
just overflowed everywhere,
and it's setting off all the smoke alarms.
-I was supposed to leave.
-I'm getting dressed,
so I probably will be ready
at the same time as you
-at this point.
-I can't do this right now!
What?
-[barking]
-[alarm continues wailing]
What is that?
Where's the car? Oh, my gosh.
I'm actually having an anxiety attack
in a second, Mom.
Get your act together. We gotta go.
[energetic music]
[whirring]
If I could just find you in a second
for a signature, is that okay?
-Okay, yeah. Hi!
-Hi, Kim.
-How are you?
-Good. How are you doing?
-Good. Good to see you.
-You look amazing.
-You as well. Thank you.
-We can take you up to hair and makeup.
-Yeah, let's do it.
-Should we go up there?
Okay. Let's head up.
-[Brooks] I'm 45 minutes late.
-Okay. You got it?
-Let me take this bag for you.
-It's fine. I have it.
-Are you sure?
-Yes. Let's go.
We'll get that all in order,
and then we'll have models
doing run-throughs, then we'll
-Hello.
-Hi!
-How are you? Mwah.
-I'm so excited.
We can get you up to hair and makeup.
-Okay.
-Brooks, we can get you
-backstage with the designers.
-Okay.
-We're hanging your looks already.
-Awesome. Thank you.
We've got 'em getting hung on a rack.
Growing up, I always remember
my mom making the biggest deal
of Sundance,
and it's kind of crazy
to be at this point in my life
where I'm actually being a part
of something
that I've grown up almost idolizing.
That's just so hard for me to comprehend.
I don't know how I got this opportunity.
I mean, I do. It's from my mom,
obviously. [laughs]
I'm having an anxiety attack. Oh, my God.
[Meredith] Hi, Whitney.
-Oh, hi, Meredith.
-What's going on? How are you?
I'm feeling a little nervous.
Let's just try not to trip
on the stairs. [laughs]
[continues laughing]
Stay in a line and just go like this.
Turn. Single file. Come to here and boom.
I love it.
It's a big moment for Brooks.
-I know, I'm so excited for him.
-Yeah.
Brooks really does wish
that Seth were here.
I feel badly that he couldn't
come in and see him.
Yeah.
Mom.
Oh, speaking of
How do I find out if I need to
get hair or makeup or whatever?
-He's walking, right?
-Yeah.
Your face looks great.
Do you have any concerns?
I mean, no. Do you have any?
-[laughs]
-Not from right here.
Come here.
You look like you're good to go.
-Okay.
-And then I would hop on over to hair.
All right, thank you.
Any models that are ready,
I need you on the stage,
'cause we're gonna get ready for a lineup.
Oh, I saw Dad sent a text. Did you see it?
No. Can you open it?
Brooksy, so proud of you.
Today is your day.
You're off to great places.
Your mountain is waiting.
So get on your [mouthing] way.
Go, baby. Love you.
That was cute. That was very sweet.
I wish he was here.
It's very disheartening
that Dad isn't coming
and he can't support my first show.
I really feel bad that Seth
wasn't here for Brooks today.
I mean, we need space. I asked for space.
Maybe me being out of the picture
will help you find what you want,
and maybe I'm not in the picture.
[softly] I don't disagree.
I wish we could have been
a little more sensitive
to what Brooks had going on.
It's fine. My feelings aren't important.
I've tried really hard to be a great mom,
and that's all I cared about,
and that's all I do care about.
[producer] What's making you
emotional right now?
[voice breaking] Because I love my kids.
I don't ever want to hurt them. [sniffles]
I think it's very hard on kids
to see their parents
go through hard times.
I went through it.
My parents were divorced
when I was very young,
and, um, I know how it hurt me,
and, um, I screwed up, you know?
I didn't protect them.
[dramatic music]
[housewife] Next time on
The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City
I wish you could've came for the show.
So do I.
When you won't come to Park City for me,
it's really, like, hurtful to me.
I talked with my therapist.
She feels like I'm ready
to move on to my next step.
-What is the next step?
-Start living my life again.
Warren Buffett didn't stop
buying and building companies.
Why should I?
I don't think it's a problem. Do you?
-Kind of, to a degree.
-That irritates me so much.
If Meredith really is dating other people,
I'm confused why we don't know.
Maybe you don't know,
but some people might know.
If you're not getting it from home,
you're going to go somewhere else.
