Welcome to Is This Real Life, a Bravo podcast that relates our favorite shows to our own lives in the world around us.

I'm your host, Mandy Slutszer. Let's get to it.

Hi, everyone. I hope you had a wonderful week. There is so much going on. We finish the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City season four. We've got Vanderpump Rules premiering this week. We've got Summer House coming in a few weeks. There's just, there's so much happening. It's all happening. I really am looking forward to the season of

Vanderpump Rules, but I am a little worried that the cast has already shared so much about what

happens in season 11 that we won't be surprised. They're a younger-ish cast compared to some of the

housewives cast, although they're

getting up there in age, but a lot of them have podcasts.

They're constantly in the media.

They're doing interviews.

And I just feel like we always know what's happening with them.

And whenever the housewives of Salt Lake City are done airing, I don't know what they're up to,

unless Heather's on a book tour, right? And I kind of want to get back to that. I've been

kind of longing sort of a nostalgic to not having things spoiled, especially after this

incredible season of Salt Lake City, that I'm a little nervous that there's not much that we're going to be shocked by.

But you know what?

I'm looking forward to it anyway.

A couple of thoughts on some of the shows that I realized I didn't get a chance to share.

One is on Salt Lake City,

I was just very glad that Mary apologized to Heather for inadvertently

body shaming her saying that the corset, the Gucci corset that Heather wears into confessional,

which looks incredible, by the way, that when she said, oh, I don't think Gucci makes

that in the size 14, she said she didn't mean it in a negative way, and that after it aired when she said, oh, I don't think Gucci makes that in the size 14. She said she didn't mean it in a negative way.
