Hello, everyone, and welcome to Everything iconic with me Danny Pellegrino.

Today on the podcast, we're going to be covering part one of the Real House of the Salt Lake City reunion.

Now, I don't normally cover the reunion, so we're going to be just dipping in.

And by dipping in, I do have two pages of notes. And so... I live a very different life

from all of you. So I did take upwards of two pages of notes. And then we're going to be

talking about the Real House of Potomac. I'm very excited about the podcast today. I'm in a good

mood. I'm in a good mood. And I was enjoying the Salt Lake City reunion. I didn't like the finale, but then when the reunion came and they got on that set where it was decorated like Greece. And I was so happy because you know how I feel about the reunion sets? I don't always like when they go overboard. Remember that one year where they did the pirate ship with the snow and everybody was like, what the fuck is going on here? I mean, that was just crazy and I never forget that.

And I like a more scaled back, scaled down reunion set. However, this one was like classy.

I felt like it was decorated like their cast trip in Greece. And so although I would have preferred

probably just them sitting around a backyard barbecue like they did in season one of the Orange County Housewives, if we're not going to do that, then I like that it was just like a chic set. There wasn't too many crazy themes going on. They were just like, let's do grease. Although at this point you would think that Greece is sponsoring this show, because how many times are we, I feel like every

week on the show, we've been talking about Greece. But anyway, the clip I just played actually was from

earlier this season. I live a very different life from all of you. All of you. I live a very

different life from all of you. Now, I feel like so much that happened this season, it's like,

oh, it feels like 10 years ago. And they were showing clips of earlier this season. I'm like, how was that from this year? So we did have a lot of content. Towards the end of the season, it got worse. It was like, started off so good. We had that amazing bloat deck crossover. And then by the end, it was like they were all kind of losing me. But let's talk about, we talked about the set. Let's talk about their outfits. Now, I was noticing that nobody's doing a lot of necklace work anymore. I mean, the ghost of Countess Luann was not president at this reunion because none of them had a statement necklace on to save a soul. Because the only one that I think I saw a necklace on was it Mary? None of them have Heather, Whitney, Bronwyn, Angie, no necklaces. So is that like the thing now? Is it no necklaces? And even their dresses, I don't know if they had like a theme. They were all just kind of colorful. Sometimes they go theme. Sometimes they don't. You know, some housewife reunions you watch. And it's like, they're all wearing gold or neon. There was a, I think a Beverly Hills one where I felt like they were all in neon. But they normally have a theme, but this one seemed like they were just all in different colors. But none of them had like a really crazy reunion look. And I wonder, is that because style-wise, that's where we're at?

You know, I'm not a fashionista. I'm a Maxena. So I don't know exactly like where the current

trend is. But if I'm just watching this Housewives reunion and taking the trends from there,

it seems like no jewelry. Jewelry is out, out for 2026, or at least necklaces.

And so, Candace Lambert or pack them away in the closet if she ever gets a chance for

another reunion this year because they're not wearing them.

And then the dresses seem to be just like pretty nice.

Like, they all look nice.

And I, or I wondered if it was culturally that or if it was just a response to like sometimes the
