It wasn’t until she was invited to a Skype interview that she realized the producers weren’t just interested in her idea. However, all she knew was that they would film a show about “career-oriented women in Utah.” She revealed, “And then they were like, ‘Well, can you do a Skype?’… ‘It doesn’t sound like you’re just picking my brain; why would we get on a Skype?’ And that’s when I realized they were casting me. I did not know it was Housewives. We did not find that out until maybe six weeks before we started filming season one.”
