0:00.0	Hey, of Salt Lake City finale and incredible female characters on TV and how we can get more of them.
0:17.5	So a month ago I watched the best reality TV show season finale I have ever seen Salt Lake City season 4. I have been a
0:25.8	Salt Lake City housewife stand since the series began. Half of that is because
0:29.8	I lived in Utah for eight years as a child and the the other half is because it's just the best show.
0:36.0	And after I finished the finale,
0:38.4	I found myself in a full rage because I had just watched completely different nuanced women with wildly different
0:46.3	personalities with the exact same extensions and exact same lip filler.

1:34.3	us solve the mystery of Monica and how much they knew about her going into the show. And in the second
1:39.2	half, we're going to go deep and discuss my favorite thing,
1:42.7	nuanced female characters and television.
1:46.0	I'm your host, Chelsea Devantes.
1:47.4	I'm a TV writer, comedian, and filmmaker
1:49.2	and soon to be author.
1:50.4	And sometimes I'm in stuff too. And we're going to start today's episode with the infamous clip from the real housewives of Salt Lake City finale, where Heather really broke it down.
