How to Watch
When Meredith Marks said she and her The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City castmates roughed it on their surprise RV camping trip, she wasn’t joking. In fact, there was even one unseen detail that almost led her to disengage completely.
While talking through her cast trips dos and don’ts with The Daily Dish, Meredith revealed the group’s lack of basic amenities on the RHOSLC Season 6 premiere:Â “Don’t travel by RV, and if you do, at least have running water in the RV.”
After all, this wasn’t exactly Meredith’s first rodeo — though her previous experiences with RV’ing were much briefer.

“That was my first time sleeping in an RV,” she added during the exclusive interview. “I have been in an RV before, like going to an event or something like that, but never slept in one. So, that was definitely not something I was needing to do.”
By the end of Angie Katsanevas and Mary Cosby’s so-called class “A” getaway to the no-frills Provo, Utah, RV park, however, she declared, “It was fine. I survived. So that part of it was interesting.”
Meredith Marks unpacks a “creepy” RHOSLC camping moment
During one eerie part the camping trip, some of the ladies seemed to think maybe they wouldn’t survive, though. That was when Heather Gay led them on a late-night investigation into the legend of Molly Sorensen.
According to Heather, Molly Sorensen was “a fundamentalist Mormon that made it her mission to find girls that would come up [to Provo Canyon] to make out with their boyfriends or sin, and she would kidnap them and then sacrifice them.”
Amid their kayaking and fishing expeditions, the ladies’ “local guide” even confirmed he’d “heard screams all throughout the night” and mentioned how “some people come up missing” in the area.

Later, the women left their campfire and headed out into the night — armed only with their camcorders — but fear eventually took over, as Meredith, for one, lamented, “I have no phone reception, I have no nothing. I just wanna go home.” The last sound viewers heard on RHOSLC‘s Sept. 16 episode was a woman shrieking, as Meredith’s camcorder footage went dark.
So, it stood to reason that Meredith described the outing as “creepy” to The Daily Dish, adding, “[It] felt like a horror movie.”
Meredith Marks defends Lisa Barlow amid lawsuit speculation on the cast trip
Throughout the earlier portion of the mini RHOSLC getaway, Lisa Barlow had been a frequent topic of conversation, with several of the women questioning if her important “business trip” was the real reason for her absence. Though several of them alluded to “crazy accusations” they’d heard about her, Bronwyn Newport specifically called out the multiple lawsuits Lisa was allegedly facing, at the time.
As Meredith told The Daily Dish, the entire discussion bothered her for one key reason.
“The conversation about lawsuits with someone who’s not present did not sit very well with me,” she explained.
Though Meredith mostly kept quiet when the topic arose at the RV park’s picnic table, she did point out that “borrowing money is part of doing business,” before clarifying in a confessional that Lisa allegedly had not broken any laws.
“These are not criminal charges,” she elaborated to a producer. “This is a civil lawsuit that has yet to go to trial, yet to have anything proved. The State of Utah is not coming after Lisa Barlow, nor is the United States of America.”
Now that Season 6 is officially underway, get a sneak peek at all the drama still to come for the RHOSLC cast.
