Andy Cohen, 55, was left stunned by the season 4 finale of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, comparing it to one of the most memorable plot twists in cinematic history. He described it as one of the top 10 Housewives finales, praising its dramatic and beautifully produced nature.
If it's been some time since you last watched M. Night Shyamalan's 1999 classic, the major twist is that Malcolm (Bruce Willis) was actually dead the entire time. (Could this metaphorically mean that Heather Gay is Haley Joel Osment?)
Andy also commended the producers of RHOSLC for their exceptional work on the episode.

“You didn’t know who they were coming up against or what was happening, and it was great,” he added.
The RHOSLC season 4 finale, which aired on January 2, saw newcomer Monica Garcia confessing to her participation in the Reality Von Tease Instagram account. This account was created to expose the actions of former RHOSLC star Jen Shah, who is currently serving time in prison after pleading guilty to fraud in 2022.
The Instagram account also targeted Monica's castmates, Heather, Whitney Rose, Meredith Marks, and Lisa Barlow. When discussing her role in Reality Von Tease, the 40-year-old Monica described her fellow castmates as "collateral damage."
Heather, 49, was the first member of the RHOSLC cast to uncover Monica’s secret identity. She claimed that her hairstylist and Monica’s former friend Tenesha Luckett confirmed to her that Monica was part of Reality Von Tease. (Monica has since alleged that it was Tenesha’s account.)

Andy noted the evolution of Heather in the past year and expressed his happiness for her growth. He also addressed the main question from RHOSLC viewers about Monica's identity as Reality Von Tease before filming.
"We were aware that she collaborated with Jen and we were aware that she had betrayed Jen," he stated. "The Reality Von Tease situation was unexpected."
As for Monica's future in the Housewives universe, Andy stated that it's "too soon to predict" what will transpire after the RHOSLC reunion, which is scheduled to air in three parts beginning on Tuesday.

“I believe that one of the best things about the reunions is the opportunity for people to voice their feelings and potentially reconcile with their castmates if they have been excluded,” he shared with Us. “After the reunion airs, I think it's important to have a conversation and see where both fans and castmates are at.”
In addition to his work at Bravo, Andy has partnered with Walmart+ for their "Save Your Resolutions" campaign, dedicated to helping people keep their New Year's resolutions.
