"It's so cool," Barlow says of their show's success. "But when they announced Salt Lake, everybody's like, 'Oh my gosh. Why Salt Lake? That's so random.' It was a hidden treasure. But now everybody knows about it. It was amazing that they put our city on the map."

As for Rose, being able to connect up close and personal with the fans came at the right time, as she recently opened up on the series about the abuse she suffered as a child.

"Seeing all the fans and receiving all the love was exactly what I needed," the skincare guru explains. "It's hard to share your life and then relive it. It's been beautiful and it just reminds me that I'm so grateful to be a part of this Bravo family."

"Whitney is a good example to so many people that it's okay to talk about your traumas and what you're going through so that you can heal. I think since I've met Whitney, she's always been on a consummate healing journey," her supportive friend Barlow notes. "She's tried to give us [the cast] a lot of good experiences."

In the current season, Rose organizes a spiritual trip to Scottsdale, Ariz., where the group works with a shaman to overcome their tensions — to no avail.

"I loved it," self-proclaimed Sundance queen Barlow says of the trip. "I think it was really helpful for all of us. It's nice to see this whole new healing chapter for Whitney."
