Lisa Barlow embodies what gives the Housewives franchise a bad reputation. She is self-centered, shallow, and rarely authentic. This became glaringly obvious after watching Mary pour her heart out on national television—Lisa's lack of depth and empathy stood in even starker contrast.

The older Housewives (like Dorinda and Carole sharing their grief over their late husbands, Lisa Rinna opening up about her eating disorder, Taylor discussing her troubled marriage, Teresa’s journey after prison, and the Hilton sisters' vulnerabilities) showed us raw and real parts of their lives. These moments helped viewers connect with them as real people, beyond the drama. It wasn’t just about petty problems like flying coach, losing jewelry, or how much a piece of clothing costs.

Lisa, on the other hand, feels completely insufferable. If this is truly who she is, it’s shocking she even has one friend to add into her phone book.
