NY

 

OMG! Jessel! I can't believe she just did a 2 for 1 drive-by on Erin/Sai!!!!

 

Woooow. She really does not play when she finally dropped the mask.

 

And Sai's face actually cracked. Sai told her what she wanted...and Jessel gave it to her...making Sai backpedal. SAI?? I'm speechless at this birthday party.

Ugh I have had such a fun time rewatching nuRHONY, I can't even tell you. It's underrated. It had a better first season than Dubai. That's not to say I don't love my OG RHONYs and want to see them back on my screen -- my love for Luann and Sonja alone knows no bounds. Throw in Kristen, Heather, Carole, and I'd be a happy camper for a new season of OG RHONY. What I would give for a couple to pop up on the revamp! We know that Sonja and Jessel hit it off during the Alexis Mabille Couture ad campaign, and apparently Ramona and Erin have met and hit it off (yes, you read that right -- the latter makes so much sense when you think about it). But back to nuRHONY! Wait til you get into reunion (which I am currently watching). It's a mess, but it sets up this coming season quite nicely, and I honestly cannot wait for the trailer. They're all coming back, including Jenna, and I'm pleased. The cast is a good one to start building around IMO, because they have actually forged friendships with one another.

But yeah, Erin? As Jessel said at reunion (not to give anything away, but I'm going to drop this tiny nugget), the Circle of Trust was really just the Circle of 'let's b!tch about others behind their backs.' Trying to dress it up as some kind of Trust forum is ridiculous. Also Erin with "You're being aggressive" in Anguilla -- she can dish it out but cannot take it. That is going to cost her in S2 now that everybody knows she crumbles at the slightest pushback. With the help of Sai, she stirred up others against someone in the group (Jenna, Jessel), she thought she was being all cool and strategic, but when she got caught out on her own hypocrisy, she had a meltdown. Sai, too. But Sai is made of sterner stuff. I'm not sure Erin is. 

You are going to love Brynn during reunion, lol.

I am loving all this nuRHONY love in this thread! Finally, people are seeing the potential with this show. 

My only gripe is that they now have Eric Fuller as EP. 

I need Bravo to cut ties with folks when it doesn't work. Stop recycling them to other shows. That how soaps suffered.

@Cheap21 So RHONJ's cast trip didn't happen this season -- the house they were meant to go to had a fire. So the season may well have been cut down from its usual 14 to 10 or 11.

 

I totally have been loving it... but im bummed to hear Fellner (the JFP of RHs) will be EPing. How does this guy keep failing upwards? He damn near ruined Potomac.

Thanks. Its crazy they didnt have a backup plan even if it meant pausing filming for a week or two while they try to book a hotel for them. I wonder if they even tried or thought this toxic cast wasnt worth the hassle

 

In other new, Mia lowkey confirmed that Inc is the daddy or at the very least is trolling

So on Sunday I decided to start binging Dubai and I’m up to episode 11 and have some thoughts.

Chanel may be the most annoying housewife currently on bravo. I don’t think there’s ever been a housewife more obsessed and obnoxious about themself. 

Lesa is my absolute favorite and she may be the most gorgeous woman on Bravo.

Stanbury and her boy toy are not going to last

. Sergio LOVES the cameras. I like that the ladies don’t allow Stanbury to be queen bee just because she’s a bravo vet.

I surprisingly really like Brooks. She can be annoying at times but the way she reads Chanel gives me life all the time.

Nina and Sara are both nice and inoffensive and I feel fit in well.

Overall I love that the show isn’t toxic at all. No one is trying to ruin anyone’s lives or marriages. And for a first season cast they have very strong chemistry. Also like that like it’s a multi cultural cast. 
 
Can’t wait to finish the season and start season 2.

Well I wish Bravo had more faith in Dubai. They are moving it to Tuesday next week and its never a good sign when a show cant hold a consistent schedule. The show JUST premiered and its like they dont want it to succeed

THIS. My goodness she was annoying AF in the premiere of this new season, hobbling around in ridiculous dresses and shoes. 

I'm not sure it's Bravo having no faith in Dubai, but more so that Bravo didn't plan their schedule well, so Tuesday is now vacant after this evening as both Vanderpump Rules and The Valley are finished their respective seasons.

I hear you but I dont see why they didnt just hold the premiere back a week? Luckily I follow them on social media bc had i not, I wouldnt have known about the schedule change and im sure plenty of people that did watch will go watch on Sunday and be confused and many may even drop off

Speaking of schedule, i hate NJ on Sunday. Thats a show that was better on Tuesday

@Cat don't forget that Eric ruined RHOA too. I never understood why Bravo thought he'd be good for RHOA--the crown jewel. Maybe he'll stumble into a win on NY, but I don't see the women falling for his messy antics on nuRHONY. I think they have a silent bond as to how far to take it. 

And regarding Chanel, once I heard that she and Lesa parted ways, I knew the goodness about her would wear off. She needs to tone it down b/c her antics are old. It was cute season 1. Now we're over it. Show us something more. The lavish, borrowed outfits, feigning to be an airhead, and proclaiming to be the "hottest" is old. I don't think the women or Bravo realized but Lesa is about to emerge as the face of Dubai. This miscalculation happens all the time.

Bravo thought Gizelle would be the star, and Karen came in the second season and threw a wrench in the plan. Same with them thinking Dina and Caroline would be the stars on NJ and it later ended up being Tre and Danielle. And on BH, Bravo thought Kyle & Kim would be the stars b/c they were related to Kathy and LVP emerged as the dark horse.

I’m on episode 2 of the reunion, I’ve found Chanel’s antics tiring from the start. They literally waited until the last 2 episodes of the season to try and humanize her but it was too little too late for me. 
 

I’m actually excited to see a season of Lesa and Chanel not being friends.

In my opinion, Nina created a lot of tension among the ladies before the show started. They sort of brushed on the topic throughout the season. Even Brooks cosigned it. 

Nina hated Stanbury previously, and Lesa & Ayan were loyal to Nina by not liking Stanbury either. Nina fed them a lot of negative stuff about Stanbury, but as we saw, Nina grew to like Stanbury herself. The hatred between the two has spiraled into something larger than it should be. 

I also think that Stanbury thought she would be "queen bee" b/c she was the draw for Bravo to do a show in Dubai; however, Lesa, Ayan, and Brooks were not going to stand for it. 

Weirdly, Lesa has stated she's good with everyone in the cast except Ayan. That puts Ayan in a precarious situation in future seasons because I think Stanbury secretly hates Ayan more than she does Lesa.

'As most of the cast have pointed out, Lesa and Stanbury are much alike. If Stanbury had the choice, she'd rather be buddied up with Lesa. Lesa is ride or die, and Stanbury wants someone like that in her corner at all times (as we come to learn, Brooks and Sara fall out with Stanbury this season). That's been her modus operandi since Ladies of London. Remember Juliet?

With Ayan most likely showing herself to be fickle and constantly playing to the audience, Stanbury knows Ayan will turn on her soon enough.

@NothinButAttitude I'm not sure Lesa is quite at the point of becoming most popular HW on Dubai in the way that Karen Huger or LVP came to unexpectedly dominate their respective franchises. Lesa is quieter, more strategic, and definitely careful about what she is putting out there. However, I have been wrong before, and that's what I'm looking forward to the most about S2 Dubai -- having my preconceptions thrown to the wind! Lesa is absolutely one of the most gorgeous women to ever grace Bravo, IMO. She is breathtaking.

Meanwhile, Chanel Ayan is actively campaigning for top-dog spot. She has been charged with the bulk of the Dubai promo interviews (what little there is) by Bravo, and is actively courting other, more popular HWs (Kyle, Teresa and Tamra, most notably) in order to get with Andy's in-crowd. This is not a bad strategy. As I said before, she is dominating the narrative -- for now. But clearly, like many of you, viewers are tiring of Ayan's OTTness. There is every reason to expect that Lesa will make her case to the audience over the course of the season. Because viewers are now asking questions about what happened between the two of them, and are Lesa & Stanbury really copacetic? It's a mystery that viewers want to piece together for themselves.

@Antoyne so pleased you enjoyed S1. IMO reunion saved the show which had slow, unfocused direction early on, to say the least. The show was let down IMO by Stanbury refusing to engage and thinking she could Kim-Zolciak it throughout the season. And Sergio is cringeworthily thirsty and annoying. He wants this more than she does. I actually cannot believe that someone as cold and strategic as Stanbury married this guy after luxuriating on Oil Money for so long. This couple are clearly finding it hard to make ends meet in notoriously-expensive Dubai.

As for Lesa & Stanbury -- keep your friends close and your enemies closer! They don't trust each other, but they're not going to poke the bear, for now. I think Lesa is jealous that Ayan is kissing up to Stanbury. Lesa went after Stanbury and pretty much accused her of being on J*ffr*y Epst*in's books at reunion -- which is a HUGE allegation. Now, I'm not sure Stanbury was ever an escort for hire, but what is interesting is we are now getting whispers of Lesa having been an escort in Miami, which is how she met her husband (whose business is currently being sued -- a rite of passage for every RH franchise, it seems!). I don't know if any of this is true, I'm just saying it is interesting that we have mirroring rumors flying around. Tit for tat?

    • There are no dumb questions here, we've all known each other long enough to fill in information without shaming each other.  We want you to be happy @carolineg.  Your POV as one of the few women here is vital. So, please, I hope you never feel as if any question, idea, or opinion is ever silly or stupid.
    • I think his full name is Chadwick.  I remember, back when the previous actor was playing him, someone called him Chadwick a couple of times.  It may have been Stefano.  
    • I didn't like those two sleeping together, but I suuure liked seeing BF in them. Wiggle and all. Just sad about the waxing of the chest.   Same.
    • It’s strange. I wonder if the writers at that time had worked with him somewhere else and had a relationship? That time is murky AF to find info on. Rachel Ames in effect left the show at one point in the early 80’s and she is credited like she was there until JFP. Tristan Rogers also took various contract breaks that were not short, and websites also credit him one long stint from 1981-1992. So many people come and go in short succession in 1982-part of 1983. I know they lost a lot of viewers when Genie left, but the show somehow survived yearly at number one through like sheer force of will.
    • In that way, at least we were fortunate.  The Daniel Pilon/Ron Raines decisions...not so much.
    • Letting Brennan put it in yet again while smirking over his shoulder... any day now! She's got him just where she wants him! I do think ol' Jack will be dead by February at the absolute latest. They have set him up as a counter-heavy to Sidwell, forcing poor Joss to work his next scheme or threatening to have her sent down for treason. Once he croaks I still deeply fear we will be subject to Valentin and Carly, partners in crime to lovers, possibly out to find out 'who killed Jack'. Anna was at her best keeping Sonny at arm's length and often somewhat cold, which she only really did (for better or worse) off and on during Carlivati's tenure. But Finola gradually got too emotional over Sonny, Jason, etc. and was allowed to do that onscreen too much long ago. Mulcahey brought some of that steel back, though Finola still managed to choke or quietly sob through some of that material as Anna found her way there lol. She's a brilliant actress and she did a good job with that stuff in '24, but now we're back to the same old and it humiliates the character whether she knows it or not.
    • Listen, I am all for Laura Wright wearing silly wigs and glasses if there was a point.  So far she's just been nice to Brennan and made out with him.  How evil lol!!  Even though I have been told Brennan loves her the writing was never there.  It's so low stakes.  Carly should maybe talk to her daughter and have an adult conversation instead. Laura and Anna look foolish.  I really don't have an issue with either being friendly or at least having some affection for Sonny.  I don't get both of them wanting to have a parade to announce how much they love him and how valuable the friendship is.  C'mon, Laura basically tolerated Sonny because of Luke until Lulu/Dante got together.  Anna likes Sonny because Robin did?  There really isn't much more of a reason for Anna to give him the time of day besides that.  They aren't lifelong buddies.
    • It is so dumb and is dragging on already after a couple weeks. By the time Carly wraps this up Joss will be running the local branch office. And yes, Laura deserves better. It's like they tripled down on this Sonny apologia stuff with her and Anna after the Mulcahey saga.
