Episode 158: The Crimes of Jen Shah

In Season 1, she introduced herself to us as being queen bee and MVP, but by Season 2 of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, the MVP was staring down a possible 30 years in federal prison. Though the only guilt she admits to is being "Shah-Mazing," the jury may hand down a much harsher conviction. This week's episode is - The Crimes of Jen Shah.
