I just looked because real estate is my weakness. There are tons of new construction town homes and condos in the $300k range in Herriman and adjacent communities. It’s $450k for the cheapest SFH, again, new construction.

It’s crazy to see the amount of new homes going up all over Utah.

I watched this very boring show. Demi is so toxic. Jessi is annoying. Everyone else has redeemable qualities. Mayci was the only truly likable one. That is all. Skip this one.

Looks at a sports roster for BYU sometime--if you open up any profile for a junior or senior it will mention a spouse.

They have super quick (3 month or less) engagements so it's possible to meet, get engaged and get married in under 6 months. The wedding venues and vendors in Utah are all used to bookings that are 3 months out (unlike here were you can't rent a popular place for under a year or more out).

It's a fascinating culture. The women all end up looking like each other: same injections, same boobs, veneers, hair, etc. It's wild.

I follow so many too, but they are all more interesting than these girls. I was excited about the show but found them so boring. They were so vague about LDS culture, vapid and sad. They made the Skalla sisters seem like compelling geniuses and full of depth. I turned it off after 30 minutes.

I never made it through the first episode. I couldn’t keep them straight.

I watched the first episode and my main shock point was that Whitney’s husband was on Tinder looking for girls and not Grindr looking for dudes.

Same. Just watched E1 last night. I have an unapologetic Mormon addiction. I"ll admit it. The DV thing was crazy and what a way to start the show.

The one with the chronic illness said it got worse after breast implants so she had them removed. Why are these beautiful young women doing all this crazy stuff? Sounds like a sick culture.

Mormonism is an incredibly toxic culture.

In the Mormon church, only men can hold the priesthood - which is basically the religious authority to lead and make important decisions. Women can have leadership roles in children's programs or women's organizations, but they can't lead congregations, perform ceremonies, or make high-level church decisions. Imagine having deep faith in your religion but never being able to give a blessing to your own child - only watching your husband do it.

This power dynamic creates an interesting ripple effect. Since women can't hold formal power in the church structure, many turn to other forms of influence - primarily through appearance, homemaking, and social media presence. It's like having to be perfect becomes a way to claim some form of power or respect in a system where traditional authority isn't available to you.

Think about it: If you can't be the bishop (local church leader), you might focus on being the most put-together mom at church, with the best-behaved kids, the most beautiful home, and the most enviable appearance. Your Instagram following might become your congregation, in a way. Your influence comes from being admired rather than having institutional authority.

This plays into the beauty culture we talked about earlier. When your voice might not be heard in important church meetings, you might focus on being so outwardly "perfect" that people can't help but pay attention to you. It's like women have created their own parallel power structure through lifestyle influence and beauty standards.

And here's where it gets even more complex: Many Mormon women manage successful beauty-focused businesses or social media empires while still publicly supporting traditional gender roles. They've found a way to have significant influence and financial success while staying within the bounds of what's considered acceptable in their religious community.

The pressure to maintain this perfect image while having limited institutional power can be exhausting. Imagine feeling like you need to look flawless, raise perfect children, maintain an immaculate home, maybe run a successful business, AND support your husband as the spiritual leader - all while smiling and making it look easy on Instagram.

This might help explain why Utah's beauty culture is so intense. It's not just about looking good - it's about finding power and influence in one of the few ways available within the constraints of a patriarchal religious structure.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

All those new developments are actually part of a huge environmental problem. The Great Salt Lake is literally disappearing because we're using up all the water for these new houses and developments. The scary part is when the lake dries up, it leaves behind this toxic lakebed full of arsenic and other nasty stuff that can get picked up by the wind and blown into the air we breathe. It's kind of mind-blowing that we're still building like crazy when we're potentially creating our own toxic dust bowl situation.

Is there really a need for new housing? I would like to relocate to Utah and it feels crazy how expensive single family homes are. There really is very little under 400k, and salaries are not high.

The real villain on this show is obviously Zack, Jen’s awful husband.

They are instagram influencers nothing more. They play on dumb people to send them money under the guise of being religious.

They can claim they are Mormon all they want, still hypocrites and terrible role models. Sure lets keep having more kids and be uneducated. Women should be subservient to men is the message especially the one who moves to NY for her husband the total dumb tool.

This is old news. Mormons have been swinging for a long, long time. It's cultural.

I think the one girl outing everyone cheated and she made this up to draw attention away from that. I think she cheated with one of the other husbands and instead of just taking the heat she made up this stupid story. I bet they've all made out with eachother in hot tubs but that's about it. All the Mormons I've ever known are very prudish. Sincerely doubt there's some Mormon influencer/swinging circle.

That’s how she’s defining “soft swinging”.

Are we sure it’s not soaking???

??

Soaking is when the guy goes in your fun hole but doesn't move. You two just lie there and enjoy being that close.

Jump humping is when 2 Mormons soak and their friend(s) jump on the bed to create the movement for them.

Both are ways to "get around" the no sex before marriage thing.

Stop it. Are you dead serious that this is an actual thing?

It is common Instagram culture.

Appearances are EVERYTHING.
