When the cast members of “The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” play games around a table, it often ends with yelling. And when John Barlow, husband of tequila entrepreneur Lisa Barlow, asks in confessional this week, “Whose turn is it to yell at Lisa?,” it’s not the name of a new game, but it certainly could be. In the latest (extra-long) episode, several weeks of Lisa being the pivot point for different disputes all converge as the Housewives and their husbands complete their couples’ trip to Palm Springs.
Lisa’s hard time at lunch Last week’s episode ended with Bronwyn Newport’s husband, Todd Bradley, giving Lisa and John an ultimatum: Cool it with the drama or leave. As this episode starts, the Barlows agree they want to stay. The Barlows’ decision gets its first test at lunch, not long after the argument between Lisa and Bronwyn that prompted Todd’s ultimatum.
That argument centered on Bronwyn’s belief that Lisa hasn’t defended Bronwyn sufficiently in Bronwyn’s dispute with Heather Gay (who’s not on this trip). Bronwyn, in confessional, says she’s not sure lunch together is a good idea. “I think there’s just nothing better we can do after a contentious morning than sit down and break bread together,” Bronwyn says with some sarcasm.
