Thoughts on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City season 3, episode 13

Time for an explanation of the black eye? So Jen gave Heather the black eye...yes? Why are we revealing that we know an informant? Jen, it's not nice to give her hair dye (besides she rocks the grays) Conjugal visit? Wait did Lisa call Meredith's daughter a garbage whore? No, right? Okay the scratches clearly make it seemlike someone did it Of course Lisa came...it's televised I am glad that Meredith's nephew is doing well, but I'm honeslty not sure this spotlight is a great idea That's a short model Oh Brooks actually has a collection I wonder if the check will bounce (seems Angie is wondering the same) Heather, you've made it hard to know what happened to your eye Whitney...try asking off camera I want Whitney and Heather to be okay Next time is the finale?
