Salt Lake City's debut of The Real Housewives series left quite the impression, sans Lisa Barlow, raising questions about the show's dependency on her presence.

The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City (RHOSLC) returned for its sixth season with a delightful premiere on Bravo, airing Tuesdays. However, one familiar face was conspicuously absent - OG Lisa Barlow.

Lisa Barlow, a long-standing cast member, was noticeably missing from the season opener, sparking speculation among the other women and viewers alike. The absence was a new occurrence, but the rest of the cast managed to hold the viewer's attention with their usual dose of drama and laughs.

The premiere episode saw the women embarking on a camping trip, a departure from the usual glamorous settings. The absence of Lisa Barlow was discussed by the other women, with some theorizing about her legal issues and others speculating about business reasons, such as her attendance at the South by Southwest Film Festival.

Rumours also circulated that Lisa was absent due to contract negotiations with Bravo for more money per episode, but their validity remains uncertain. Regardless of the reasons, fans of the show will be eagerly anticipating the full cast to come together in future episodes.
