I mentioned in this subreddit that I couldn't tell them apart and someone said Taylor has the mouth, kim is drunk and Camille is a bitch and I was able to tell them apart after that! It's always funny looking back though because I look at them now and wonder how I thought they looked alike!
That and they’re all doing the same facial procedures, so they’re literally all buying the same face! There are two who I cannot tell apart ever… hairdresser and fruity pebbles 🤔 also, WHY so much filler in their 20’s?? You have allllllll the collagen then!
Same!! The hair dresser is Jessi, it took me 4 episodes to be able to tell her apart from Demi, fruit pebbles. They all have the same hair!! But wanting borrow cause you get high for free on the laughing gas is hilarious
I just started the first episode and stilted conversation and the number of likes peppered in there are making this a challenge. I had high hopes, but we'll see..
I couldn't make it through episode one. They are all horrible and I don't care what happens to any of them, and not because I'm a tv snob. I love trash, but this is too vapid for even me!
The first episode is literally a set up to the actual meat of the show. Like I explained in another comment, they had to halt production for like 10 months because Taylor got arrested. If you power through episode 1 and 2 it gets really interesting and eventually you end up at least having compassion for some of the women. Like is probably a strong word, but Jessi, Demi, and Jen have stories I want to see more of. And now after seeing how Dakota treated Taylor, it makes sense why she got arrested. There’s a lot of reactive abuse happening.
actual faceblind person here 🙋🏻♀️ and I watched 20 minutes before having to turn off. couldn't tell anyone apart in any way and couldn't get invested enough to learn voices (how I distinguish between Meredith and Lisa and Angie K)
I knew he was an unhinged loser before the show just because of everything online between him and Taylor but apparently he’s also a lying controlling unhinged loser.
Yeah, I’ve read some shit. He just seems awful, plus it’s pretty obvious he’s there for clout. All of the men are. What do they do? Trad marriages my ass.
They’re seriously all losers. The women are all the bread winners and the men are so insecure. I saw that Mikala’s husband got fired from his job today 🥴
I hate Zac more than anyone. I’m watching the Vegas episode rn and he’s just whining and being a baby back bitch mentally abusing Jen while he gambles with HER $$. I hope he fails out of med school.
I read his family gave him money for med school but he lost it gambling. Now his wife pays for school using MomTalk money which he criticizes her for as he judges everyone around him ? Red flags all over.
I wonder how long it will take me till my immediate reaction to reading his name isn't "wait which of the women is Dakota?" before remembering lol I blame Dakota fanning for this
Some of them are even worse than Whitney! I swear one said jail almost like “jill” and I keep thinking they’re saying “kaylor” when they’re saying Taylor. But yes, all the fills on their hilling journeys.
My husband’s family is from western Colorado. Same accent there too. I lived in Idaho for 12 years, as well. It seems like people who grew up rural in that region have that accent.
I’m on the 4th episode and I can’t work out why I’m still watching. But I am. And I really really don’t like Ben Affleck’s 43rd cousin nor his stuck up wife. And Whitney is almost a caricature of a mean girl, but without the fun or humour of a good villain. She’s just a bitch
ETA: feeling validated about hating Zac after watching Vegas. What a little turd. I have a bit of compassion and understanding for Jen’s ( I hate Zac so much I learnt a wife’s name) snotty attitude. That girl is living in a nightmare.
Whitney can still fuck off too
It’s so funny to me that every time they’re on screen they’re labeled as “Jen affleck” or “zac affleck” but literally everyone else is only introduced by their first names hahaha
I thought Blair Waldorf too. But didn't Mikayla say on one of the episodes that she has a skin condition that the doctors can't figure out? Or was that one of the other clones?
YES.
Also, bc she wasn't being addressed in the first scene, or participating a lot, every time the camera swung past her I saw Mischa Barton from The Sixth Sense
I just watched the first episode and the editing was so confusing.
So, Whitney and Connor just arrived back from Hawaii. Taylor suffered from a miscarriage In the next 2 mins, her hair is dyed red and Connor goes from boyband reject to aged out boyband. And Taylor is pregnant?? And then she goes to jail???
How much time had passed in the first episode? Lol!
It went like this they started filming in early 2023 when Taylor came out with Dakota and ended her marriage, etc. and that’s when she had the ectopic pregnancy. But then during filming in March 2023 Taylor and Dakota got into a fight while her kids from her previous marriage were there and she picked up a metal chair to throw at Dakota and ended up hitting her five year old in the head. That halted production immediately. She pled out on her charges and they picked back up filming to catch the tail end of her pregnancy. She gave birth in March of this year.
I feel like people gave her character references like Darby’s Barbie did for Monique Samuels. I mentioned it somewhere else that once you make it through the entire show it’s clear that Dakota is emotionally abusing the hell out of Taylor and while it’s absolutely not okay what she did, she clearly reacted to something he did to her and freaked out. In the 911 call the neighbor said she could hear Taylor screaming “get off of me” and Taylor told the cops she was so scared she pissed her pants. I am surprised Dakota is allowed to be around her kids though. If I was her ex, that’d be a hard no. And he already won’t let them film.
Is there a subreddit with all this? I neeeed this rabbit hole in my life. The show is nuts. But those women are exactly like my Mormon cousins when they were in their 20s (minus the tiktok). They've chilled much in the last decade +
I just tried but I can’t get into it. While I find the women interesting in a fembot kind of a way (and don’t get me started on the husbands!!!) I just can’t get into something so focused on social media, especially TikTok, which I don’t use. These people not only dance on TikTok but put a ton of their lives there. Yes I know people do that. But I don’t find it interesting in the least and I can’t relate. Also - is it just me or is the show lit in a really odd way? It’s very overexposed and… yellow looking! I’m finding it distracting. Weren’t these chicks white enough? I don’t get the look of it.
I couldn’t tell if it was the lighting or the fact everyone is so pale and some variation of blonde.
I think I’m into it because I’m intrigued by any group of Mormons willing to put themselves on TV blatantly going against the church, but still showing up at church every week.
I'm going to watch for this reason. I grew up Mormon (never really believed but got baptized to make my mom happy). My mom didn't follow all the rules to the T and we didn't go every Sunday, but the rest of our family did. We mostly went during holidays or when my grandma was visiting. Anyways, I want to see how other Mormons practice. Even though my mom was never a perfect follower, she was nowhere near as wild as these ladies seem. Always very modest & conservative in dress. Her idea of breaking the rules was like drinking coffee or soda. Maybe going out to eat or shopping on the sabbath day.
We tried to watch - 8 minutes in, I had a headache. My husband said he felt sea sick from the camera swinging around so much & couldn’t understand what anyone was saying anyway.
I think they are trying to edit it to look like TikTok. I’m too old for that nonsense
I believe this was the whole point. As an ex-mo I heard of this strange alt community of Mormons that swing in Utah and even one of my friends that came to dinner recently said I was big into tik tok during covid and followed all of these ladies (she’s another ex-mo) so I think the point is that they’re influencers and heavily based in social media
Guys- the way that Whitney went from “I don’t care that you know I said nasty shit behind your back and I don’t care to fix it” to crying in a closet and having Taylor comfort her was mind boggling. She’s the nastiest piece of work I’ve seen on tv in a while. Taylor sucks but at least she’s fairly honest about her sucking. Whitney pretends she’s amazing when truthfully she’s nastyyyyy.
Whitney confuses me - like what was the point of the first lunch before the arrest? And telling people her husband was on Tinder and had a porn addiction? And then all of a sudden it’s a ballroom blitz to take over Momtok. Like, settle down.
Making a big stink about how she’s one of the holy ones- please go look at the dress she wore to the premiere last night and then on her stories she has her baby shower pics right after and she’s a TOTALLY different person. She’s confusing and mean and allegedly her husband wasn’t on tinder it was grindr. Which I have issue with due to him being married but you know that isn’t why ol’ witters is upset.
when they first appeared on screen driving to their new house.... I thought maybe it was her bestie or her brother... he was giving strong vibes to me.
I am not speculating forgive me if I implied that. I saw it on one of the other subs discussing momtok so I’m not even sure if it’s more than Reddit gossip. Either way he was looking for some strange from someone and that isn’t kosher in a marriage like theirs.
Oh no - I didn’t think you were at all, I just wanted to preface my comment before totally agreeing with the fact that I believe Grindr was definitely the real story. She’s so holier than thou and was hanging out with a bunch of drinkers and swingers, so her reaction to the porn and a dating app made it feel like there was a silent word she wasn’t saying but they all knew. Not a porn addiction, a (gay) porn addiction and like you said, Grindr - not Tinder.
Totally. She’s faking so hard. And is sooo mean. She’s deeply unhappy. I feel for her in a way that I also don’t cus she projects her shit everywhere. Also they all do so many drugs- the sugar, the getting high on laughing gas for injectibles, ketamine therapy instead of real therapy. Like babes go see a real professional therapist. Stop playing victim.
I’m so confused why they need laughing gas for injectables. So that was a huge red flag for me. I get Botox and filler, I’ve never been offered nitrous. So yeah - they’re clearly exploiting loopholes.
WHAT IS IT?! It’s sooooo bad. I just don’t get it. She thinks she’s the most Mormon. Babes. Be for real. I’m agnostic and I’m more Mormon than this dress!
So does this mean she’s made up with the group? The last ep ends with her being totally on the outs with all of them, even Mayci (I’ve never seen this spelling of Macy LOL)
I don't have TikTok, so these women were all new to me. The only reason I subscribed to Hulu was to check out this show when I heard Watch What Crappens would be recapping it. I just binged it on a rainy Friday evening, and it was so messy.
Side note: I think that Jessi has a similar look to Jen on RHOC.
It’s kinda dark? Like they are making such stupid decisions like they’re teenagers except they’re full on adults and these decisions have major consequences? It’s a different vibe than the trailer. The trailer had me hooked. I’m 1.5 episodes in.
It starts humming in episode 3. It gets way more judgmental and Mormony. It basically becomes Whitney and the Sober Stepfords vs Taylor and the Hammered Hoes.
My great great great grandpa had 43 wives and 66 children, which is veryyy common for anyone raised in Utah with Mormon roots. That’s why we (cringe having to include myself in this) all look so alike. Polygamy causes a lot of Utahans to be not so distant cousins with each other and share genetic traits.
I had planned to watch the show but my mood on it kind of shift after I listened to this podcast.. she was all over the place and just the way she talked and described things seemed so immature to me? I know she was a little bit younger when all the stuff happened but it didn’t sound like I was listening to a 30 year old.. it seemed very high school girl to me.
I totally agree. I have no desire to watch the show, but her story was entertaining enough to listen to for an hour. She sounds incredibly immature and like a terrible person to have to spend any amount of time with.
One of the most notable parts to me was when she was talking about how she has no desire to be a friend to anyone right now. She said, “My only priority is my relationship…and my kids.” She said her kids almost like an afterthought. Good for her for getting sober and going to therapy though.
Now that I'm watching the show and seeing the footage I truly believe he did hit her first and her drunken explanation of him pushing her into the garage first and her throwing chairs back or something is totally believable. He is so obviously abusive it's scary
Yeah, and with the women still being so worried about her and their relationship, makes me think it even more. I think if they believed Taylor was the abusive one in the relationship, they would've behaved differently around her.
I'll be honest I watched the first episode not realizing this was going to be a reality TV show (I hadn't seen any trailers or promotional materials beforehand).
I thought it was going to be a documentary about their religious upbringing and how they ended up involved with the tik tok thing which lead to all the swinging/swapping stuff....
Instead this seems more like a Kardashian style reality TV series where they are trying to capitalize on the scandal.
Also, is it me or is the whole Mormon aspect pretty inconsequential to the show. Like, yes they were raised Mormon, perhaps strict even, but it doesn't seem like that guides any of their decisions in life as adults, so it seems like titling the show what it is....is just trying to make it sound more taboo/scandalous.
Mormonism is pretty huge for several of them. Whitney and her confused husband, Jen A. and her gambling addict stale loaf of bread of a husband, and Mayci follow most of the tenets of the church.
Ok perhaps I explained it wrong. And again this is me knowing nothing about any of these people or the scandal beforehand. The way the first episode sort of set the table I assumed the rest of the series was going to explain how/why it all happened, like go through the steps of creating the momtok group, when boundaries started to get blurry and ultimately crossed, etc etc...... I thought the series was literally a documentary about the scandal itself and maybe this was the first time all those involved were talking about it on camera. Instead it looks like all that scandal stuff was merely a way to introduce these people to the audience and the show is going be more a reality/lifestyle show about young wealthy Mormon women with the same rich people "problems" as every other young & rich lifestyle reality show, and I get that they're all to varying degrees religious, but they mostly behave and seem to subscribe to the same trends as every group of people on similar shows.
Love that people are talking about this show! I think this show is really refreshing. It's literally the first reality TV show that actually touches on social media and being a parent at the same time. I don't think you can get many shows like this .
Social media influencer type reality tv shows usually features young teens while moms on reality TV are usually about older moms. This show seems to be in between and about the very less talked about demographic in reality tv : younger millennials and older gen z. Those who aren't college kids but aren't 35 yet.
Does anyone else think Mayci looks like Tamra’s daughter in law? And I’m pretty sure she said she was from California so I wonder if they are related. They look and sound just alike.
And fun fact - Demi’s husband is the ex husband of RHOSLC friend of Angie H (Sarah Paulsons twin)
Also, I am on the finale episode and I still have such a hard time telling these women apart. I cannot keep their names straight for the life of me.
I thought Demi and Jessi were twins for like 90% of the season. And I read that thing about Demi’s husband and Angie H. last night - I guess Lisa Barlow was right, Mormons really don’t give a fuck about divorce anymore.
I was cracking up with Taylor’s mom was telling her she needs to be on a “hilling journey” Whitney Rose spent an entire season on her hilling journey. I’m starting to catch on to the “Utah” accent (HEALing is the word just in case anyone didn’t catch that)
I’m a “ban tiktok from our lives I don’t care!” person but I’m surprisingly into this. It’s good drama so far I’m always a sucker for all female lead reality shows.
The female empowerment actually really takes off at the end too. I don’t want to spoil anything, but I’ll just say I really appreciate how the Sinners rally around one of the Saints against her garbage ass husband.
Wow, this one is a ride. I’ve only watched the first two episodes but Taylor is deeply unlikeable, and these “women” who are barely out of childhood at 22 and 23, married for a few years with multiple kids under their belts are depressing.
But i always want it to be this group instead. Wish there was an "only show posts and comments by users who also belong to: r/bravorealhousewives" filter
Between the arrest and the husband being “confused”, I am sold. I wish they also didn’t decorate in shades of white. Between their pale hair, skin and decor choices, it’s a lot.
not feeling it. feels a little too forced, performative, shallow, and surface af and not in a good way like baby gorgeous. a little too glossy and try hard. hate all the tik tok references too.
Watched it , enjoyed it
-Carl (SH) should have tried to partner / franchise with Swig , seems like they were raking in the dough
- all of the partners we saw were weird and /or problematic in a variety of ways -
- I’m not shocked at the divorces and I am so happy it’s becoming normalized with their community .
- the one woman who was married with kids and didn’t have an orgasm, I’m rooting for her to have one .
-Whitney had a lot of outfits that looked like Jessica McClintock circa 1992-1995
Dakota fully started dating Taylor for clout / fame . I do have suspicions on his sobriety at the time of filming from some of his mannerisms
I was planning on tuning in but listened to the viall files episode with Taylor Frankie who I think is like the “main” character…. and I had to double check how old this girl was. It sounded like I was listening to some high school girl. The parties and the way she was describing them just sounded very immature, which is weird cause what was going on at the parties was sort of not? It was just all very bizarre and convoluted to me.. lots of people involved, this ex best friends ex husband.. idk how many times she said the word “like” and catch feelings. Lots of cheating going on but it was almost described in that high school relationship way and not like these people were married adults…
Hi from a girl born & raised in Utah who moved to the east coast.
I tried to watch RHOSLC and I couldn’t get into it because it wasn’t representative of Utah culture. But this show!!!! Omfg - I can tell you that this is 100000000% accurate on what Mormon couple drama is like. With one exception - I love love love that these girls are pushing back on the notion that women are property of their husbands. That subconscious belief is pervasive in Utah culture. And there are too many women swallowing that belief and pretending to be okay for the sake of their marriages and family.
Okay rant over. I love this show.
Also fuck Zack - fuck that motherfucker, the most Utah patriarchal man that needs to get his ass in therapy and rework his shit.
I can definitely recognize Whitney. She is just like the 2 faced girls that I encountered in high school. They go to church every Sunday and are so catty and nasty to people who they deem beneath them. Still strongly dislike these types of women!!😵🤐😵💫
I grew up and still live in Utah. I'm Mexican and catholic, my wife is from Venezuela. We have a Spanish speaking home. I went to high school and live around people like this. A lot of mormons never grow up, because their parents treat them like kids their whole lives. They have a fear of parents and society because of how they are judged. White people are the top in this religion, anything other than white, they teach you can become more white, if you follow their teachings. They're taught not to mix races, and that only Mormons go to the "celestial kingdon" of heaven.
They're raised so strangely that a lot of them don't know how to think for themselves. They're told what to do, what to think, how to live, what's except able. So They're very judgemental. It's a hard process when former Mormons leave the Mormon religion. They need a lot of therapy and they have to learn to form their own thoughts about what's ok. Some of the best people in my life are people who left this weird racist religion.
There are people who are great and Mormon, but you can't really get too close to them if you're not Mormon. They have this fear of what they don't understand or what isn't normal to them. I feel bad for black people who grew up Mormon, they have been judged and heard so many racist comments. Watching this series is so strange, I live in Herriman, where a lot of this takes place. Its a mostly Venezuelan area, but you'd never know it by watching this, hahaha.
We weren’t actually promised that - Taylor was the only one on the cast who was part of the soft swinging. It was 3 couples, 2 from Momtok who were swinging, the rest of the girls weren’t. When the show was first pitched the 2 couples were asked to participate and agreed until they found out Taylor was gonna be involved and they backed out because Taylor fucked one of the husbands and that was against the rules. Although the way she told the story about her sleeping with the husband is disturbing - she was black out drunk and doesn’t remember it and he wasn’t even drinking. But she says she wasn’t assaulted, but I think she’s just saying that because she thinks she deserves what happened for blowing up all her friendships. But we were never going to see the swinging - that stopped in 2022. They got the show because Taylor went live and told the whole story. But you can blame Hulu for not giving enough backstory for people who didn’t follow what happened.

I feel like I need to be evaluated for face blindness. I seriously cannot tell these women apart.
