The tenth series in Bravo’s The Real Housewives series takes viewers to Utah for a look at the drama-filled lives of a group of women living in Salt Lake City. Lisa Barlow, Heather Gay, Meredith Marks, Whitney Rose, and Jen Shah — who might not be coming back following some, ah, legal troubles — balance their personal and professional lives while making sure there’s space for blow-ups and grudges, as any good Housewife does.
