Tamra Judge said Nick Viall did a “better job” than Stassi Schroeder as host of the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives reunion, as Tamra suggested that the show shouldn’t have more reunions.
After season three, Hulu chose to make Stassi Schroeder (from Vanderpump Rules) the reunion host instead of Nick. Some fans criticized her for not questioning castmates hard enough, unlike Nick, who was criticized for pressing them too hard the season before.
“So first reunion, they had Nick. Second reunion, they had Stassi. Did you think Stassi did a better job?” Tamra asked her temporary co-host, Jana Kramer, on Two Ts in a Pod.
“I like Nick,” said Jana. “I think Nick is good because he did drum up some of the drama.”
“Yeah,” Tamra agreed.
“… as opposed to just keeping it girl-friendly,” Jana continued, seemingly shading Stassi.
“I think that, yeah, Nick did a better job,” said Tamra. “That’s for sure. I think [those are] really hard shoes to fill. Andy Cohen is amazing at it. So good at it. So anytime [that] any show has a reunion like this, I look at Andy. I don’t think [SLOMW] need[s] a reunion, because of the fact that they film non-stop, and half the stuff they can’t even really talk about.”
In early December, following Stassi’s reunion, the star called out Nick after his wife Natalie Joy commented on Whitney Leavitt’s parenting. At the time, Natalie seemingly questioned how Whitney was managing motherhood after earning the role of Roxie Hart on Broadway’s Chicago.
“[Natalie and Nick] have a kid, where’s your kid right now?” said the star on her Stassi podcast, via @tasteof_reality on Instagram. “I’m sorry. Like, there are people out there, parents out there everywhere, going to work every f**king day. What are you talking about?”
“And if it was a dude, no one would ever f**king ask that,” Stassi continued. “It’s so weird. It’s like the weirdest take … Are [Natalie and Nick] okay? … I don’t want to make it worse for them, but like you guys, that was weird … It just really bothered me because like that is an insecurity of mine that I have, that like I work too much … I’m like, ‘Am I a good enough mom?’ You know what I mean? And like that’s constantly in the back [of my mind].”
