For two decades now, Bravo has been the home of some of the best reality TV shows. Namely, the Real Housewives franchise and its crossover spinoff Ultimate Girls Trip (both of which are streaming with a Peacock subscription). While my head was spinning from Ultimate Girls Trip's Season 5 premiere, lately I've been thinking about how easy and breezy Lisa Barlow has been so far. Considering she's largely considered one of Salt Lake's villains, have the fans been wrong about her all this time?
The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City is arguably the best city of the entire franchise, thanks to the cast's history with each other and their penchant for dramatics. Lisa Barlow has gone viral for her hot mic moments and for constantly feuding with the rest of the women. But she's had a much lighter energy on RHUGT, leading me to wonder if she was actually less villainous than she might have seemed.
