The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Recap: Word Vomit

by

This week’s episode starts with a surprise: Bronwyn chose to sleep on a pool chair on the yacht’s deck instead of sharing a bed with Britani during their vacation. She stuck to her decision even when it rained in the middle of the night. Unfortunately for her, that spot put her right within hearing range of Britani and Lisa, who were downstairs talking about her. Lisa revealed that Bronwyn had previously asked her to arrange a meeting between Gwen and her grandparents.

Bronwyn, hoping Mary would be as supportive as she was to sick Angie the night before, tentatively asked if she could share their room. Mary quickly refused, saying, “Two’s company, three’s a crowd.” It was a surprisingly bold request, and Mary shut it down without hesitation – a classic move for her on Bravo.

When Britani tries to convince Bronwyn to come back to their shared room, Bronwyn immediately refuses, stating she doesn’t want to sleep in a bed Captain Jason might have been in. This is a pointed reference to Britani’s attempts to get Jason’s attention and rumors that he visited her room the night before—though footage later proves he was just there to fix the air conditioning. It was a transparent attempt at a romantic setup, and the Bravo cameras caught it all. To make things even more awkward, Lisa tries to settle the situation by asking a crew member to confirm that Captain Jason isn’t interested in Britani.

Lisa is upset that people keep mentioning him, which Bronwyn finds hypocritical considering she was just eavesdropping on a conversation upstairs. Bronwyn is known for gossiping, so Lisa thinks it’s unfair for her to complain about others doing the same. Lisa insists she hasn’t said anything inappropriate.

Then Angie dropped a bombshell. The conversation was going around in circles, like a classroom reading exercise where everyone takes turns reading a paragraph. But Angie added a surprising detail: she claimed Lisa confided in her that Todd was kissing one of her friends, and… was farting throughout the entire encounter. There’s a lot to process with this information! The show seems oddly fixated on bodily functions, so we asked Mary Cosby for her expert opinion. She admitted in a private interview that if she heard that about her husband, she wouldn’t know whether to be more upset about the kissing or the farting. It’s a perfect moment.

Lisa immediately admitted she was the one who said it, clarifying it wasn’t a friend who did and that she shouldn’t have spoken at all. She didn’t even attempt to deny it, which suggests she wasn’t the source of the leaks about Bronwyn’s legal issues. The contrast between how she reacted to those accusations is telling – why admit to one thing but deny the other if not because it’s the truth? It seems Lisa is innocent of leaking, but guilty of something else entirely!

Bronwyn doesn’t take the news well, and immediately confronts Lisa. She struggles with how to react, trying to consider what her husband, Todd, would want. While she recognizes Lisa often brings out her negative side, Bronwyn decides the best response is to remain positive and not let it ruin her day. However, she’s pulled in different directions: Todd encourages her to stay calm, while her friend Angie believes a strong, assertive response is the only way to deal with Lisa.

Lisa and Meredith had a discussion about whether Meredith had been supportive enough of Lisa throughout the season. Meredith felt she had been, but Lisa thought Meredith’s support was mostly behind closed doors and wished for more public backing. The conversation was delicate until Mary jumped in, directly telling Meredith she wasn’t being supportive. This sparked an argument, with Mary criticizing Meredith as boring and lacking a compelling storyline. Meredith defended herself, claiming she leads a very interesting life. While I find Meredith’s mannerisms alone fascinating enough for TV, I understand where Mary was coming from.

Back on the boat, Bronwyn unexpectedly decided she and Angie should wear her inflatable costumes. Unfortunately, Angie seemed to have bad luck on this trip – while trying to get through a doorway dressed as an inflatable seahorse, the door slammed on her hand, causing pain and a bloody injury, and she began to cry.

It’s fitting that the party has a zombie theme, considering the chaotic events! Like with most Real Housewives parties, the theme doesn’t always have a logical reason – so producers (or the women themselves) usually come up with a somewhat forced explanation. This time, Heather claims it’s to represent how they constantly bring up past drama. Alright then! At least preparing for the party keeps the crew busy, instead of just dealing with injuries and hairstyles. And this is just a glimpse of everything the crew is handling! We’ll get to hear their full story when the Below Deck Down Under premiere arrives in 2026, revisiting this trip all over again.

During dinner, while still in their zombie costumes and makeup (some with realistic-looking injuries), Heather asks if everyone has contacted their families. Bronwyn shares that she spoke with her parents, Todd and Gwen, who weren’t thrilled to hear about the rumors of inappropriate behavior. Bronwyn makes it clear she won’t discuss her family anymore, and Lisa apologizes, promising to never mention them again. This is a positive step, especially considering Lisa previously shared this information with Angie before making amends with Bronwyn, and off-camera. While it’s still not ideal, it’s almost admirable that Lisa held onto this information and chose not to reveal it on the show – it’s a surprisingly kind gesture. Interestingly, throughout this conversation, Bronwyn has a toy octopus stuck to her face.

After a rough patch at sea, Britani unfortunately gets seasick and runs to the side of the boat to vomit – a sure sign of a memorable cast trip when multiple Housewives are sick on camera. She quickly returns to her seat and takes a shot of tequila, which Meredith immediately questions. Britani simply replies that she’s trying to feel better. The conversation continues with Meredith asking the group if anyone thinks drinking tequila after vomiting is a good idea (Heather quickly agrees). However, the highlight is Britani’s clever comeback: “Are you the expert at vomiting?” – a pointed reference to a disagreement from last season where she claimed to have heard Meredith being sick.

The conversation then takes a surprising turn when Britani mentions a TikTok claiming Seth was having an affair—rumors she says came from an Uber driver who overheard something. Meredith immediately dismisses this as a distraction from Britani’s own relationship problems. This is where Britani really stands out, hilariously claiming she didn’t mean to be hurtful, just wanted to offer Meredith a supportive space to talk if the rumors were true. It’s a funny moment, but Meredith isn’t amused, and the argument gets heated enough that Captain Jason quietly excuses himself from joining them for dessert.
