“The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” are back for season 6 — and the drama is already boiling before the women even board their trip. A new sneak peek shows the cast gathering for what they think will be a lavish tropical getaway, only to learn that Lisa Barlow is nowhere to be found.
Lisa Barlow Skips RHOSLC Season 6 Premiere Trip
In the opening moments of the season premiere, Angie Katsanevas surprises Mary Cosby with her so-called “Class A Getaway,” driving a massive RV to kick off the cast trip. Meanwhile, Heather Gay, Whitney Rose, Meredith Marks, Bronwyn Newport, and Britani Bateman gather outside Heather’s Beauty Lab + Laser, buzzing about their upcoming vacation.
It doesn’t take long for someone to notice that Lisa is missing. Whitney and Britani ask about her whereabouts, only for Meredith to calmly reveal, “No, Lisa’s not coming.” Whitney, caught off guard, presses for more, and Meredith responds, “Oh, you didn’t know that?”
The moment underscores the ongoing tension between Lisa and several of her castmates. Angie admits in her confessional that she orchestrated the RV getaway as a way to force the women into closer quarters.
“It’s no secret that after New York [the season 5 reunion], there was some fractures in some of the friendships. So, I’m pulling the old bait-and-switch,” Angie explains. “There’s nowhere to run, there’s nowhere to hide. It’s you, your closest friends, and your closest frenemies.”
Where the RHOSLC Cast Stands After Season 5
The preview also highlights the fallout from last season’s reunion. Heather openly shares her thoughts on the cast dynamics, revealing that Meredith “cannot stand” Britani and that she herself is “not a fan of Bronwyn’s.” On top of that, Angie, Whitney, and “especially” Bronwyn remain at odds with Lisa.
Heather sums up the situation best: “One might ask why we’re going on a girls’ trip when there are five ongoing disputes. But that’s actually kind of tame for this group.”
According to Bravo’s official cast bios, Heather’s “rift” with Lisa only continues to grow, even as her relationship with cousin Whitney stays strong. For Lisa, the season promises more challenges — from being pulled into group gossip to navigating personal struggles at home.
Lisa Barlow Faces Rumors and Marriage Strain in Season 6
In the season 6 trailer, Lisa is seen in a candid moment with her husband, John Barlow, as they confront communication struggles.
“I feel like we’re on different pages,” she tells him, indicating there is a bit of strain in their relationship.
Lisa teased the season herself in an interview, saying, “This new season is so different, some parts are diabolical, some parts are really sad, some parts are frustrating. I mean, it’s a really good season, but it feels very different from all of our other seasons.”
Season 6 of “The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” premieres Tuesday, September 16 on Bravo.
