Mary Cosby made her triumphant return to RHOSLC in the Season 4 premiere and by most accounts, it looks like fans are happy to have her back as part of the cast.
Season 4 of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City debuted last night (September 5) and as TV Deets first told you when we reviewed the premiere, Mary is featured heavily throughout the nearly 60-minute episode.
An original Season 1 cast member, Mary left RHOSLC after Season 2 when Lisa Barlow and Whitney Rose attempted to expose her church as a cult. But after a tumultuous Season 3 in which fan allegiances shifted and Jen Shah’s looming criminal trial weighed heavily over the Housewives, Bravo decided to bring back Mary as comedic relief—and the plan seems to have worked as Mary was trending on Twitter (X) before the episode even aired.
Fan reactions
Check out some fan responses to Mary’s return, below.
“And just like that, Mary Cosby is back! I admit I still don’t quite understand Meredith and Mary’s friendship but I am here for ALL that awkwardness,” tweeted popular Bravo fanpage Daily Bravo.
“Congratulations everyone, we’ve made it to the end of the Mary Cosby drought!” shared @PumpRulesBravo, another popular fanpage.
Mary brought her typical comedic shade to the episode, with one viewer noting how funny it was hearing some of her confessional comments.
“‘You will kill people with your nasty tequila’ Mary Cosby is BACK,” posted one viewer.
“I aspire to Mary Cosby’s ‘give a fuck’ attitude,” posted another fan. “She bows out of everything she’s not interested in and still comes out winning. GOALS.”
“We get Mary Cosby Episode 1,” posted one viewer. “I AM LIVING… A WHOLE SEASON! Starting off great already!”
Mary’s shade towards Heather Gay’s New York Times best-selling book gathered a lot of attention, with one viewer pointing out just how hilarious Mary truly is.
“Mary Cosby was the realness this show was missing last year,” tweeted the viewer.
Whether you are a Mary Cosby fan or not, one thing is for sure: she sure gets the RHOSLC fans talking.
The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City airs Tuesdays on Bravo.
