My dad, you know, even though Salt Lake was, you know, really a stronger Mormon population when we moved here and we were the only like Greeks in our neighborhood for miles surrounded like by Mormons. We love the Mormons and they were very supportive of our family. But we still kept our Greek culture going strong and continue to go to our church and keep the traditions going.

And, you know, family is everything for me because I always say part of what's probably been my success on the show is I have a strong sense of self. I have a strong identity. And you really have to have that and to be authentic. And I've enjoyed sharing more of my family, letting people see me more as a whole this season.

And I was not giving any inkling that I was Housewife material because they didn't tell me what... what show I was interviewing for. So I was just not very fun and playful, just being definitely really professional and probably more uptight. But they had already cast the six girls when they found me. So they circled around to me around season two.

And that's when I just kind of like, you know, I made an appearance. Heather invited me to her event and she was super supportive. She again followed up with production and said, you guys have to like circle back around to Sean and Angie. And then they did.

I thought I was coming on because I was aspirational and sharing my life and my business. So, I had to fight and, you know, Mary said it best to me. She said, Angie, like they try to take you out. She's like, you rebounded, you came back and like, you slam dunked.

Thank you. You know, that's what I had to say. Like, you know, that was one of the most iconic dinner scenes. And I guess if I wasn't there, they would have just been getting manis and pedis at the hotel. So thank God I showed up and crashed. Right? Blew up the party, as I say. But yeah, it's like, I think for me, I've had to work for everything in my life. And you know what?
