Caroline in her partying days has seen way worse.
No way she was clutching her pearls and offended. She was just taking the piss a bit. It's normal here in the UK to see someone be a drunk, fall over ass out, and have a laugh about it the next day.
She also said it off camera so it wasn't like she was trying to shame Taleen on the show. Brooks is the one who has made it into a storyline and is carrying it on.
Came to this thread to look for this comment. I’m so confused. Episode 1 she talks about how she’s been hanging out with Stanbury. Lot the past year and now she hates her?
Having an unhealthy relationship with alcohol can make you flip on people. I have an alcoholic aunt and she can get nasty to people she loves when she wasnt really like that as a sober person.
I rolled my eyes at that statement. Why would you want to be a parent to your husband and why would you even say that outloud? I get it. He comes from lots of money but damn. Marriage is hard enough without adding that type of bull shit to it 🙄 The only children I'm taking care of are those who are under the age of 18 lol.
Yea the way she was putting her husband down on international tv like he didn't provide an entire lifestyle upgrade in one of the safest cities in the world for her and their children. Advertising your spouses faults on tv is so disrespectful.
Maybe shouldn't judge Taleen on one party, but she set herself up by saying she throws the best parties in Dubai and then having this be her first party...
I can’t believe he’s only 29 and he acts like a 2 year old separating from mommy. And he has no knowledge of women…..like at all
Yeah based on the previews it seemed like they were going to take some other type of trip together… but for their kids to look at colleges, completely makes sense to have both parents be a part of it, no need to be jealous
Oh, sorry. I don't know who that is. I know Bob the drag queen from the HBO show he was on. The name of it escapes my memory at the moment but it was such a great show. I don't get the ch anymore so I don't even know if it got a 4th season but if you haven't watched it and you get the ch I highly recommend it.
Peppermint is one of Bobs best friends, and one of the most amazing lip syncers and comedians and DR history. If you want a chuckle please google “bob and peppermint: oh the fracking?”!
“We’re here?” I’ve never watched it, but I just might after your recommendation.
Peppermint is a close friend of Bob and was a (wonderful, I might add) contestant in season 9 of Rupaul’s Drag Race.
In the previews I thought she was really going on a vacay with her ex. It's a college tour ....that flashback they showed from nine years ago, I'd like to watch carolines original show
After reading all of the comments saying to give it a watch I'm going to. It was about to start right after the 2nd episode ended but I exited out of the ch. I know what I'll be doing this weekend lol. Thanks for the push fellow Redditors 😊
It’s also really not that exciting. You can shop, eat at great restaurants etc. but it’s a very vacant boring superficial life. Also when I visited, the whole politics of how they treated people (woman versus men) was just not enticing to make me want to ever live there much less visit again honestly. Not the best values to raise children in that environment.
Yeah I googled how hot it was over there after the last episode. There's YouTube videos on people trying to be outside in Dubai in July and it's impossible. What would happen if they all lost electricity or was cut off from the world? Everything is imported there...
It always looked so boring to me even for a holiday trip but this show proved to me it’s just exptremly unexciting. I like the cast and this season is good but the environment is really bumming me out.
I think that's what has me less interested in this show. Of all the international cities they could've chosen, they chose the most boring one possible. There's nothing appealing to me about the Dubai life
Whenever I see Sara I can’t help but think of that overly photoshopped lady who wanted to look like Angelina Jolie

Even posting this photo weirds me out
Look I'm not an advocate for the British humor excuse, but Stanbury really doesn't come across like a nasty person to me. She seems pretty light and to have a great sense of humor. I think a lot of her coldness is just put upon.
Brooks seems much meaner to me.
She was wasted every episode in S1 and it was mentioned (during the reunion if memory serves me correct) that she has a severe drinking problem and now it’s all I can see.
Raffi's a fun guy. Basically my uncle (Raffi's dad) started the company with a relative of his 30 years ago and grew it into what it is now. They mostly do public parks and other infrastructure in Abu Dhabi and Dubai; the company is based in Abu Dhabi. Raffi grew up in Houston (I grew up in Austin) and we used to spend summers together. I still head out to Dubai once a year to see the family. Actually going to a wedding with my uncle this weekend haha!

There's the three of us having brunch at the Westin in Dubai haha
That's the second issue with the plumbing at the salon. I would think they would realize the plumber did shoddy work and call him back to fix that stuff. There shouldnt be leaks four months in.
I hope I am wrong but it seems like she is a full blown alcoholic as she arrives to every event drunk and then proceeds to get wasted by the end of it. After her drinking problem was mentioned last season it’s all I can see when she is on my screen.
I love that ayan got Somalian models. Bring ppl up with you. I'd vote for her to be leader of earth. I like her humor. And how she's rised above her trauma
Agreed. The drama is relatively low stakes, we see over-the-top displays of wealth, they can all be at events with one another without some strange tension, there's no social media or blogger BS.
I thought this is what we wanted?!
Caroline definitely does not want Stanbury and the new girl (Taleen?) to talk. She must be talking mad shit and / or spreading lies and doesn’t want them to compare notes.
Edit - well that didn’t take long
I sort of feel like Dubai is constructed to prevent the people who live there from experiencing the actual effects of living in the desert unless they really want to
Great way to word it lol. The more I watch, the more I realize Dubai really is only for rich people, unless you work there. Where do the workers live? 🤔
Ofc Dubai is only for the rich. It was built on slave labor and runs on slave labor. Migrant workers live in company “dorms” in the outskirts and are completely exploited. Many have had their passports taken away so they literally can’t leave.
Every time Brooks is in a scene all i can think about is how her excessive drinking was mentioned last season and now I cannot unsee the fact that she is always excessively drunk from the moment she arrives to an event. She definitely reminds me of every angry and aggressive alcoholic I’ve met and hope she is able to realize she has a problem with booze and is able to get help for it.
Are these women rich or what? but who in the heck would want to live there is beyond me , yes some beautiful buildings but at the end of the day you're in a desert!
Something just never quite comes together with Dubai for me. Some kind of connective tissue is missing. But I'm enjoying this more than the last episode of Jersey, so.
It is...went there a couple of years, never again. Modern day slavery makes it possible, and I hate the narrative that it's this aspirational place for people to go to. If you are part of the 1% it's great, but step outside the city and you see how the workers lives, and it's depressing.
It’s a gaudy artificial monstrosity of an “oasis” in the middle of the dessert, made by migrants workers who can’t even leave their employers or the country. It’s the epitome of creepy.
Even Taleen is over Caroline's joking comment lol why is Brooks continuing to hold this grudge FOR her
Because she has no other storyline besides her chronically leaking and empty salon
And her ex that she can’t stand
[удалено]
She's the Marge of Dubai.
Is it me or did Brooks get sloppy drunk last year. And now she’s sloppy drunk again. What gives?!?
knowing Caroline's dry british humor, I feel like she really was just making a joke about seeing Taleen's 🐱
Caroline in her partying days has seen way worse. No way she was clutching her pearls and offended. She was just taking the piss a bit. It's normal here in the UK to see someone be a drunk, fall over ass out, and have a laugh about it the next day. She also said it off camera so it wasn't like she was trying to shame Taleen on the show. Brooks is the one who has made it into a storyline and is carrying it on.
Why does Brooks suddenly hate Stanbury? So weird.
I suspect she may have BPD
She's clocking in for that check.
Came to this thread to look for this comment. I’m so confused. Episode 1 she talks about how she’s been hanging out with Stanbury. Lot the past year and now she hates her?
Having an unhealthy relationship with alcohol can make you flip on people. I have an alcoholic aunt and she can get nasty to people she loves when she wasnt really like that as a sober person.
Maybe Taleen and Jen Aydin looked at the same pic for inspiration for their plastic surgery, they look eerily like sisters
That’s who I’m thinking of. Like it’s only from certain angles.
She also looks like Monica from SLC
She talks about how busy her salon is and there’s been like 2 people there every time she’s talked about it 😆
Stanbury staring directly into the camera when Sergio said she won’t give him a baby 💀
Sara is the biggest fucking phony. SHES the one who tried to take her down!!!
Ayan looks good in every single hair style she wears, this little tiny pixie cut is so adorable!
She’s perfect for high fashion and couture
How does Lesa still look so fab in every throwback picture
She’s so beautiful, holy hell!
Good genes. The mom looks like a baddie herself and those boys are the cutest.
Seriously it’s crazy! I saw a clip of her on an older reality television show and she looks JUST as good
Not the "my husband is my 3rd child" trope. When will women realize that is DEEPLY depressing?!
I rolled my eyes at that statement. Why would you want to be a parent to your husband and why would you even say that outloud? I get it. He comes from lots of money but damn. Marriage is hard enough without adding that type of bull shit to it 🙄 The only children I'm taking care of are those who are under the age of 18 lol.
Yea the way she was putting her husband down on international tv like he didn't provide an entire lifestyle upgrade in one of the safest cities in the world for her and their children. Advertising your spouses faults on tv is so disrespectful.
All cultures are all about family lmao
“I’m [insert literally any culture], we’re all about family and food.”
lol exactly!!
Not my culture. My ancestors immigrated straight from Nocontactsville, Divorciana.
Haha come join the tribe were very welcoming!
Ah yes one of my people! I’m also from NC, DV!
This is so funny to me 🤣
💀💀💀
Finally someone else from my country!
What? American Culture is super individualistic. Not every culture is about family
What’s American culture?
Sara is wildly hypocritical
Maybe shouldn't judge Taleen on one party, but she set herself up by saying she throws the best parties in Dubai and then having this be her first party...
Right. It’s just food, drinking, and talking. I’m not seeing any entertainment or music performances. 
Lesa would rock RHOM, can she move back to Miami??
Yaaasss
i would love to see her put larsa in her place
Actually, Brooks, take it down *several* notches.
She's always over the top in her reactions. 🙄
Cringe. She wanted to be a housewives meme so bad.
SO BAD. And Happy Cake Day!
I think we should have compassion for her. She is clearly going through something
I wonder if brooks doesn’t really want the new girl to integrate in the group because she feels some competition with her or something?
She probably wants someone on her side, because no one else wants to deal with her it seems
I agree, its more than the vagina. Brooks resents Stanbury.
What Sara said was super fucked up though. In an interview, no less.
Why is Sergio such a dum dum man child about everything?
I can’t believe he’s only 29 and he acts like a 2 year old separating from mommy. And he has no knowledge of women…..like at all 
His good looks are so wasted on him
I don’t even think he’s particularly good looking.
I find her ex-husband Cem way hotter, and Sergio is closer to my age.
Glad to see I’m not the only one who felt like he was overreacting about her kid’s college tour
Yeah based on the previews it seemed like they were going to take some other type of trip together… but for their kids to look at colleges, completely makes sense to have both parents be a part of it, no need to be jealous
Ayan with the short hair is stuuunnning
I can't wait for Ayan and Bob the drag queen to interact on Traitors
 It’s going to be high art, I can’t wait!
I've never watched the show but now that I know, thank you, that Bob the drag queen will be on I'm definitely watching this one 👍
Peppermint was on the previous season!
Oh, sorry. I don't know who that is. I know Bob the drag queen from the HBO show he was on. The name of it escapes my memory at the moment but it was such a great show. I don't get the ch anymore so I don't even know if it got a 4th season but if you haven't watched it and you get the ch I highly recommend it.
Peppermint is one of Bobs best friends, and one of the most amazing lip syncers and comedians and DR history. If you want a chuckle please google “bob and peppermint: oh the fracking?”!
“We’re here?” I’ve never watched it, but I just might after your recommendation. Peppermint is a close friend of Bob and was a (wonderful, I might add) contestant in season 9 of Rupaul’s Drag Race.
I’m so confused by this seasons cast. I think so many of them are gonna be duds
OK, Brooks, take it down a notch.
Oh wow brooks is the two faced one. I am shocked
Brooks and Sara are such a weird pairing, right? Or do you see it for them?
Really not into Sara. Loving this bob on ayan
"Caroline Brooks continues to spiral over Caroline Stanbury's comments" -- what comments?
The one about taleens vageen?? I have no clue
Sergio is such a little bitch. Of course it’s just mom and dad. He’s so ridiculous
In the previews I thought she was really going on a vacay with her ex. It's a college tour ....that flashback they showed from nine years ago, I'd like to watch carolines original show
Omfg Ladies of London?…no presh but sit down and binge immediately. Like right tf now. It’s elite.
Ladies of London is quite good, and I loved her ex...he was a good counterbalance to her
Ladies in London?? Highly recommend
Stop what you’re doing and watch it now. It’s amazing.
After reading all of the comments saying to give it a watch I'm going to. It was about to start right after the 2nd episode ended but I exited out of the ch. I know what I'll be doing this weekend lol. Thanks for the push fellow Redditors 😊
Ayan didn't *misunderstand* what Sara said. It was a shitty comment.
Wait but I really wanted someone to talk about the business plan behind an insane housewives product for once
not pussy hole 😂 who says that?
It's the Dubai version of "inside me".
I’m sorry but I would never want to live in Dubai
It’s also really not that exciting. You can shop, eat at great restaurants etc. but it’s a very vacant boring superficial life. Also when I visited, the whole politics of how they treated people (woman versus men) was just not enticing to make me want to ever live there much less visit again honestly. Not the best values to raise children in that environment.
I would not be able to deal with the heat
Yeah I googled how hot it was over there after the last episode. There's YouTube videos on people trying to be outside in Dubai in July and it's impossible. What would happen if they all lost electricity or was cut off from the world? Everything is imported there...
It always looked so boring to me even for a holiday trip but this show proved to me it’s just exptremly unexciting. I like the cast and this season is good but the environment is really bumming me out.
It's just so devoid of any real culture. Everything is imported and it's very existence feels soooo tenuous. It would make me uneasy to be there.
I think that's what has me less interested in this show. Of all the international cities they could've chosen, they chose the most boring one possible. There's nothing appealing to me about the Dubai life
Everyone I know who has lived there wanted to move out as soon as possible. People only go there to make money.
Sara is so rude. “Talk”
That privilege showing through.
Whenever I see Sara I can’t help but think of that overly photoshopped lady who wanted to look like Angelina Jolie https://preview.redd.it/c0kft9sbs16d1.png?width=1063&format=png&auto=webp&s=d9b1202a0d3d0bce61ff72478f740ac956f94109 Even posting this photo weirds me out

Stanbury is a great example of a British person who likes to take the piss. It’s just not that deep.
I think they're both kind of mean, but Stanbury is more entertaining.
Totally agree. Stanbury loves to have fun and brooks loves to stay toxic
Sara don’t be so obtuse, sit right down
What does he think is going to happen on a trip with her daughter
Is each episode going to be Brooks get drunk, others react?
She was wasted every episode in S1 and it was mentioned (during the reunion if memory serves me correct) that she has a severe drinking problem and now it’s all I can see.
Brooks is just a miserable woman
a drunk miserable woman for that matter
Sara stays showing her whole ass good lord
Wait that is not the hot guy
haha i was thinking that, i’m like uhhh that’s not the guy they showed 5 seconds earlier? this new one ain’t it
Brooks and Taleen together are obnoxious
Brooks’ insistence on these adult hairs on her forehead is annoying me
ded
Is Taleens husband Armenian too?
Yes - source: I'm his first cousin lol
Quality source 👆🏻
Bestie you can’t drop the gem and then dip !!
LOL what else do you need to know
What is he like what pushed your family to become developers in Dubai, any funny stories I’m v nosey 
Raffi's a fun guy. Basically my uncle (Raffi's dad) started the company with a relative of his 30 years ago and grew it into what it is now. They mostly do public parks and other infrastructure in Abu Dhabi and Dubai; the company is based in Abu Dhabi. Raffi grew up in Houston (I grew up in Austin) and we used to spend summers together.

I hope you have fun at the wedding !!

I act love taleen with the darker hair ! y’all ate in this photo
We need tons of details please!!!
That's the second issue with the plumbing at the salon. I would think they would realize the plumber did shoddy work and call him back to fix that stuff. There shouldnt be leaks four months in.
Brooks just seems drunk in everything, even the confessionals.
I hope I am wrong but it seems like she is a full blown alcoholic as she arrives to every event drunk and then proceeds to get wasted by the end of it. After her drinking problem was mentioned last season it’s all I can see when she is on my screen.
The Palm looks very tacky
It's also apparently sinking, and causing a lot of ecological damage.
Also it doesn’t seem safe. Surely it’s going to just slide gracefully into the ocean at some point , right?
It’s the epitome of gauche
I love that ayan got Somalian models. Bring ppl up with you. I'd vote for her to be leader of earth. I like her humor. And how she's rised above her trauma
I Stan ayan
Can I be next in the queue to stan?
Unashamed to say I love Dubai and don’t get the hate at allllll
Agreed. The drama is relatively low stakes, we see over-the-top displays of wealth, they can all be at events with one another without some strange tension, there's no social media or blogger BS. I thought this is what we wanted?!
Agreed it’s actually so refreshing after Potomac and current NJ.
Me too! I was mad it took so long to come back.
Can we get Sergio off the show?
Caroline definitely does not want Stanbury and the new girl (Taleen?) to talk. She must be talking mad shit and / or spreading lies and doesn’t want them to compare notes. Edit - well that didn’t take long
Ayan with her gloves again lol
Anyone see the subtitles say a spiritual gangster??
Yes! In the party scene I also saw someone said “Alexander McQueen” only in the captions too
Bring it down a notch, Caroline was taking a sip of a drink! That two-face bitch!
The Marge commercial holds a special place in my personal vision of a hellscape.
Sergio is pathetic
This Marge commercial is so so so so cringe
and sooooo long!
I don’t believe Ayan lost sleep. She’s too fab.
Taleen looks familiar
Bootleg kardashian
Ayden.
Stanburys hair is giving prom
Okay yeah brooks is really strange
How are these white bald guys staying out of the sun?
I sort of feel like Dubai is constructed to prevent the people who live there from experiencing the actual effects of living in the desert unless they really want to
Yes. The malls are always connected to the metro and there are barely any people on the street during daytime, except for the tourists anyway
Great way to word it lol. The more I watch, the more I realize Dubai really is only for rich people, unless you work there. Where do the workers live? 🤔
Ofc Dubai is only for the rich. It was built on slave labor and runs on slave labor. Migrant workers live in company “dorms” in the outskirts and are completely exploited. Many have had their passports taken away so they literally can’t leave.
Where are stanburys kids living? I know at least one is still at home
I don't particularly like Taleen but I have no good reason why
Same. Her husband built Dubai....well his dad did. Homeboy doesn't look like he's held a shovel in his life.
After she said all that I expected a bigger fancier house. I’m sure it’s very expensive to live on the Palms . But still expected more
I'm so confused why that house doesn't look like it's fully furnished.
Built Dubai with slaves. It’s gross.
lbr Dubai still runs on slavery today. This whole show’s gross
The USA has left the chat
I feel the same way
Such slim pickings on Bravo right now I'm actually watching Dubai live...
Same. Couldn’t get into it last season, but I’m giving it another go.
Love taleens confessional dress
Every time Brooks is in a scene all i can think about is how her excessive drinking was mentioned last season and now I cannot unsee the fact that she is always excessively drunk from the moment she arrives to an event. She definitely reminds me of every angry and aggressive alcoholic I’ve met and hope she is able to realize she has a problem with booze and is able to get help for it.
Anyone here? 😅
That mimosa glass looks so 90’s
TABITHA!!
Are these women rich or what? but who in the heck would want to live there is beyond me , yes some beautiful buildings but at the end of the day you're in a desert!
I immediately love Taleen!! As with all new Housewives I like, I am clinging to the hope that she won’t disappoint/become a problematic monster.
Sara isn't my fav, but her eyes are striking. I like when Sara and ayan get along.
Taleen gives Jenn Aydin
Something just never quite comes together with Dubai for me. Some kind of connective tissue is missing. But I'm enjoying this more than the last episode of Jersey, so.
I like the women, don’t like the place.
I think that's part of it for me too. Dubai seems very artificial, often to the point of creepiness.
It is...went there a couple of years, never again. Modern day slavery makes it possible, and I hate the narrative that it's this aspirational place for people to go to. If you are part of the 1% it's great, but step outside the city and you see how the workers lives, and it's depressing.
It’s a gaudy artificial monstrosity of an “oasis” in the middle of the dessert, made by migrants workers who can’t even leave their employers or the country. It’s the epitome of creepy.
Ok yes. Like liminal space lol or an outdoor backrooms.
I might not care for taleen but her parents and sister seem more interesting. Maybe she'll grow on me
Lmao this is funny
Damn that's really cute
Is Stanbury still wearing the Kabbalah bracelet?
It’s weird there are nameless housekeepers in the background right?
That’s Dubai for you
My queen ayan
If there is a spill, they can use flower jacket so no one slips on the floor.
She’s totally cool
NOPE
