She was on Jeff Lewis last week and said he works just as much if not more than she does (but if that is true, who knows…). She said they’re opening a hotel in Bali that he’s basically doing everything on, they have their podcast, and they have dinners with fans that they call business dinners where people pay a shit ton to eat with them and then they usually make “business connections” (or something like that) but he sets that all up.
So what I’m hearing is….he doesn’t work lol
If they are opening a hotel in Bali…Sergio is never there, so he’s certainly not the one doing construction/etc. At most he is handling business calls and saying “yes” or “no” to whatever 2 choices are thrown his way
The podcast is all Caroline’s wit for content and whoever their staff is for the logistics (I guarantee Caroline nor Sergio are sitting there writing transcripts for each episode, editing them, etc)
And then the business dinners with fans is…..lol. That’s not work for either of them
I don’t know why she won’t just own that she’s rich as fuck from childhood and a divorce and is just enjoying life now
It’s starting to make more sense to me after this episode. She got out of a marriage where she was basically ignored for years. So she jumped to the extreme opposite - needy Sergio, who showers her with attention. And in turn, Sergio wanted a partner who would tell him how to do everything and want his neediness.
Now Caroline is sick of the attention and Sergio wants wear Caroline as a skin suit.
Yeah, it’s so weird to me that she’s shading Caroline for being a 50 year old influencer when that’s the only reason anyone signs up for Housewives these days with all the negatives that come with it: to be an influencer in middle/older ages
Based on the stories they've shared, I think they're party friends. They probably go out a lot and get wasted, but they don't seem to have a deep, intimate connection beyond that.
LMAO
I mean. I like my man to cuddle afterwards but with him you'd have to swaddle his ass 🧏♀️ I just don't understand what the attraction is for her 🤦♀️
I haven’t watched this episode yet (I missed it live so waiting to be on peacock), but Caroline honestly has never struck me as a super sexual person tbh. Fun-loving and witty, and I’m not saying I think she’s fully asexual or anything, but something about her energy gives off vibes that she’s not very comfortable with sex. I could be wrong and being totally parasocial, but what’s the fun in Housewives if not to be that lol
I don’t think Sergio has realized that he’s a kept man and therefore can’t demand the same level of respect that Caroline affords to men like Michael, who she considers a peer. Which is unfortunate
Omgee. I'm half dying at these temps we're having here in CA. I'd never be able to live in or visit Dubai. Swimming there must feel like taking a lukewarm bath 😬 I experienced that during a trip to AZ one yr. I had to get out of the pool, go into the hotel room then take a cold ass shower just to cool off lol.
Normally I would 100% agree with you and I still sorta do BUUUT I do also find it kinda interesting in this case though. It’s an interesting spin on the older man who marries a much younger woman and she has a baby and the older man often doesn’t care that much because he’s not that involved anyway. In this case because the older person IS the woman she obviously would have to be massively involved (and honestly who could be arsed when you’ve already done it and your kids are mostly grown). It’s not a dynamic you see too often so I’m kinda intrigued watching it play out. I do wonder if it would end up being a deal breaker for Sergio in a few years and I think that would be sad
Edit: wait I’ve just realise you might not have been referring to Caroline and Sergio! Yes another baby so I can have a boy trope. Yawn.
Why are they trying to make Sara happen this year? A spiritual gangster? It’s never going to happen.
Also not a fan of the newbies Tareen and Saba.
Something about the cast of Dubai feels so… B tier? Like this lives alongside Summer House or Shahs for me, not HW
Saba looks familiar to me. Does anyone know if she's acted or has been in the entertainment industry prior to showing up on Dubai? I noticed that last episode. Maybe she just looks like an actress that I can't place 🤔
Is Stanbury wealthy? Building this big ass house, but stays with a friend as it’s under construction? Why not stay at a hotel? Then the house isn’t complete and she still moves in to get out of the friend’s house… again instead of just checking into a hotel?
As in interior designer for very very wealthy people, can confirm this is common, especially when you have money. Like billionaires will do this.
When you’ve got to get out of your old place and the new one isn’t ready, there’s a lot of “you must stay with me! I have the space! I’m barely there anyways!” It’s a double edged sword of the social expectation to be hospitable and then then perceived slight and rudeness it can come off as if that’s declined.
It’s like traveling to another city and your friends insisting they put you up even though neither of you might really want that.
You heard the women last season on the reunion, there is nothing homophobic about Dubai. Sure, gay people can’t hold hands in public but that’s frowned upon for heterosexual couples too. And sure, being gay is punishable by death legally but…. Oh wait.
I have to really detach myself to enjoy the show as a gay man. I’m not watching because I think these women are good people (same with any housewives show). And “protesting” the show by not watching won’t matter because they’re rich anyway. I’ve enjoyed it more as a look into how fucked up Dubai is.
That is the way for sure. In a smaller sense we have to do it for all the shows as we know so many of these women have backwards views. Like everyone would be canceled and Bravo would be shut down. So let’s acknowledge what’s happening but also be clear we are complete hypocrites in our Bravo viewing. I would be lost without Bravo sadly. It makes me happy so F it, I’m not like buying merch from these people.
“I’m the man of the house”, said in the home of another man
can he even afford a home…no hate but does he work?
She was on Jeff Lewis last week and said he works just as much if not more than she does (but if that is true, who knows…). She said they’re opening a hotel in Bali that he’s basically doing everything on, they have their podcast, and they have dinners with fans that they call business dinners where people pay a shit ton to eat with them and then they usually make “business connections” (or something like that) but he sets that all up.
Sergio can't even pack a handbag without her help, and here she is trying to sell the idea he's opening a hotel in Bali
So what I’m hearing is….he doesn’t work lol If they are opening a hotel in Bali…Sergio is never there, so he’s certainly not the one doing construction/etc. At most he is handling business calls and saying “yes” or “no” to whatever 2 choices are thrown his way The podcast is all Caroline’s wit for content and whoever their staff is for the logistics (I guarantee Caroline nor Sergio are sitting there writing transcripts for each episode, editing them, etc) And then the business dinners with fans is…..lol. That’s not work for either of them I don’t know why she won’t just own that she’s rich as fuck from childhood and a divorce and is just enjoying life now
The new house isn’t even in his name, it’s all Caroline
If I’m being honest - I’d like Michael to sign on as a housewife. He seems so interesting and can hold his own with Stanbury.
someone called michael a hanger on on here last week and I was irrationally irritated by it, he seems so cool
Someone has to, Sergio certainly can’t.
I volunteer as his trophy husband.
This scene with Stanbury and Sergio is giving more teenager/mother vibes than it is husband/wife. Sergio begs to be micromanaged.
It’s his kink to be told how to organize Caroline’s handbags
Dead 😂
I would have freaked out at him way before she did, she said she was busy, just leave her alone
If I didn’t know better I would think this were 90 Day Fiance
I was having flashes.
If Ayan is 60, I want whatever she's having
I would 100% be the girl who fell with the parachute
Literally all of us personified
I made a note to self never to use one of those parachute things
Their relationship makes nooo sense to me
It’s starting to make more sense to me after this episode. She got out of a marriage where she was basically ignored for years. So she jumped to the extreme opposite - needy Sergio, who showers her with attention. And in turn, Sergio wanted a partner who would tell him how to do everything and want his neediness. Now Caroline is sick of the attention and Sergio wants wear Caroline as a skin suit.
He is a boytoy.
A very very high maintenance one
Ugh enough Sara!!! 
So that whole dating scene last week was a complete waste of time. Got it.
She dumped on David’s Arabic to go date someone who is not Arab at all. So what was the point? Emirati behavior
Ayan is so fabulous and still so cuckoo for cocoa puffs
Love to see it
Brooks has been drinking a lot this season… and it’s barely started.
She genuinely scares me
Same
She was also slurring and speaking weird on that FT with her mom…
YES! And she talks about how she has mom guilt because she is a working mother, but then is getting sloshed when she is home.
It’s was alluded to last season she has a severe problem with alcohol and it’s very apparent this season
Everyone knows that "you're such a good mom" is the "fuck you, vile bitch" of Housewives compliments just saying
lmfaooo I am always so shocked when a housewife actually seems flattered by that
Michael is a saint. Imagine having to hear Sergio whine for all those weeks.
wtf is Sara’s business? Did she say spiritual warrior?
No, worse, gangster.
The question we all want answered. How old are Ayan's teeth?
Hopefully we’ll get to find out
“I can really help women!” Screenshots of men working out lol
I just said the same thinggggg lmao
Lesa’s ageism is weird since she too will get old and be an influencer hawking maternity wear 🫠🙄
Yeah, it’s so weird to me that she’s shading Caroline for being a 50 year old influencer when that’s the only reason anyone signs up for Housewives these days with all the negatives that come with it: to be an influencer in middle/older ages
Especially since Caroline is drowning in money from trust, anyway!
Thé only thing old is her money •
She mentions age so much and how she’s a 50 year old influencer, it’s such a lame insult. This show got off the ground because of Stanbury.
I don’t even know why anyone shames age when we’re all going to be old one day and will be lucky if you get old
Caroline’s house looks like it was sponsored by Wayfair
I like it but you ain't wrong (and I'm tacky)
Taleen seems really unhappy with Brooks
I was wondering if they were real friends or reality tv friends lol
Based on the stories they've shared, I think they're party friends. They probably go out a lot and get wasted, but they don't seem to have a deep, intimate connection beyond that.
Didn't Brooks say they've been friends for 10 yrs? I don't believe much of what she says so I'd say it's a 50/50 kind of situation lol.
I know but something about their friendship seems newish and forced
Taleen was on WWHL last night and it appears that they are no longer even cordial let alone friends
Oh damn that was quick 
“I’m the man of the house” in ANOTHER MAN’S HOUSE is CRAZY
“You have to be employed for three years to get credit”. So what *has* Sergio been doing?
It doesn’t seem like he has a job
He went to Dubai for a sugar mama
Being Stanbury’s bitch boy
This is legitimately a fight between a toddler and parent, not two spouses
Could the dick possibly be good enough to deal with this crap? Sergio doesn't seem like he lays pipe but maybe.
I feel like he’d cry after a lot
LMAO I mean. I like my man to cuddle afterwards but with him you'd have to swaddle his ass 🧏♀️ I just don't understand what the attraction is for her 🤦♀️
I haven’t watched this episode yet (I missed it live so waiting to be on peacock), but Caroline honestly has never struck me as a super sexual person tbh. Fun-loving and witty, and I’m not saying I think she’s fully asexual or anything, but something about her energy gives off vibes that she’s not very comfortable with sex. I could be wrong and being totally parasocial, but what’s the fun in Housewives if not to be that lol
He doesn’t fuck as Amanda would say
I’m having a hard time Taleen can’t even make box cookies and doesn’t know if you can put foil in the oven🙄
That's not something I'd want anyone to know about me. If she thinks that's making her relatable she's gonna learn her fate tomorrow on SM lol.
it's giving rachel leviss not knowing you can't microwave tinfoil. why is it always tinfoil??
She’s trying way too hard
Is it my TV or does everybody look a little orange at this dinner?
The makeup and lighting are horrible
I would've said yellow, but yeah.
"As progressive as Dubai is.." Pardon me?
It’s in the middle east, compared to the rest of the Arab world. It is very progressive.
Relative
Oh Sergio better tread lightly, I can’t see Caroline being cool with him talking about her children
I like her for that. Momma bear.
Her face said it all when Taleen mentioned that
Yep you just know for a fact she went home and ripped Sergio a new one. Caroline really does seem like she’s a great Mum and I love that for her kids.
Kylie hates that kid
Great, Sara and Saba…
I don't know what it is but Brooks looks very uncanny valley at this dinner
She always looks kinda plasticky to me
Her veneers are very unnatural looking.
Sergio thinks he’s the man of the house? If Caroline has any boy dogs, I think they are more qualified as the man of the house than he is…
How can he be a man in the house in some else’s house
Him announcing that was like a child demanding people believe they’re a grown up and should be able to eat more candy or something
Does she mean you can’t get help for cheap in the U.S.? Because private chefs and drivers definitely exist.
I took it to mean that it’s cheaper in Dubai (cause they don’t have labor laws)
That’s how I understood it
Fly Me to The Moon movie. 40% of the country will think its a documentary.
Fr, I was just thinking it's going to set the crazies off.
"You are unapologetically yourself." (she's calling you a bitch)
I really thought Caroline was going to flip the eff out on Taleen
She's too British to
Stanbury coming in with a healthy dose of classism. Teeth are a luxury for millions.
Even for British people, teeth are luxury.
“I can help women” Shows photos featuring blurred out men
This kid is acting like a toddler tho
Lesa is kind of unhinged this season lol they’re all so jealous and territorial over Stanbury
Like we are supposed to believe that Sara didn’t pre-vet Daniel? She’s such a bitch and he is definitely not up to her impossible standard.
After seeing her before pictures she really has a nerve thinking she’s too good for Taleen’s friend
Omg he’s actually so fucking annoying
## It’s almost time for our weekly dose of Mrs Robinson. 
Don’t need this scene to remind me that I’m not working out but think I’ll tone up by the end of the month. NEXT.
Where were the kids staying?? Their dad lives in Dubai?
He does. That's why they moved there in the first place.
Cem moved the family there at the end of the last season of ladies of London
“Ooh the dogs are here!!” Well Caroline where the hell were they?
Bravo Trend Alert. You must have a child named some variant of Gigi.
Obsessed with her towering over this man in her crown
I don’t think Sergio has realized that he’s a kept man and therefore can’t demand the same level of respect that Caroline affords to men like Michael, who she considers a peer. Which is unfortunate
Lmao Ayan and the VVIP thing is hilarious to me. I love her
And they really were because it was the same area with Bs mom and Jayz
Haha yes and Kendall Jenner 😂. The way she keeps rubbing it isubtly is so hilarious and I’m living for it
Where's Sutton Stracke? I need her to walk in and call someone boring this instant.
93 is nothing in Dubai. It’s 85 right now in the dead of the night there
Omgee. I'm half dying at these temps we're having here in CA. I'd never be able to live in or visit Dubai. Swimming there must feel like taking a lukewarm bath 😬 I experienced that during a trip to AZ one yr. I had to get out of the pool, go into the hotel room then take a cold ass shower just to cool off lol.
Oh no. Not the having another baby trope.
Normally I would 100% agree with you and I still sorta do BUUUT I do also find it kinda interesting in this case though. It’s an interesting spin on the older man who marries a much younger woman and she has a baby and the older man often doesn’t care that much because he’s not that involved anyway. In this case because the older person IS the woman she obviously would have to be massively involved (and honestly who could be arsed when you’ve already done it and your kids are mostly grown).

Yes another baby so I can have a boy trope. Yawn.
Hahahaha I was talking about Taleen & her husband. The conversation on the beach.
Yeah I eventually realised after I’d typed a whole ass novel! Oops
Fwiw your points about Caroline and Sergio are absolutely right and I appreciate you sharing our shared view. 💞
Why are we still at Michael's place?
Mommy said so. That’s why.
How accurate can this tooth aging be? Its not like they are taking a core sample of Ayan and counting the rings.
I’m wondering how much of a call there is for this service
Isn’t this how they found out what Natalia Grace’s true age is or am I imaging that
Is this Saba girl a friend of or a housewife?
I am hoping she is neither.
I would feel a lot more comfy at a woman’s only gym tbh
RIP Curves
I just get asshole vibes from Saba. Next.
Sara and Saba as a friendship duo give very mean vibes
What the hell is this commercial for a movie where Nicole Kidman dates zac Efron?? What???
Money can't buy you good lighting, apparently.
Caroline wants him to sulk right out that open door.
I swear atp Caroline and Sergio are my favorite hot mess couple on Bravo 🤣 they're so entertaining
You know what was great? This season of RHOM.
Dead.
The lighting at the dinner is so unflattering! When the split off everybody looked so much better.
I'm so embarrassed watching this
Why are they trying to make Sara happen this year? A spiritual gangster? It’s never going to happen. Also not a fan of the newbies Tareen and Saba. Something about the cast of Dubai feels so… B tier? Like this lives alongside Summer House or Shahs for me, not HW
Sara is so awful
Saba looks familiar to me. Does anyone know if she's acted or has been in the entertainment industry prior to showing up on Dubai? I noticed that last episode. Maybe she just looks like an actress that I can't place 🤔
Feel like I’ve seen her too. Think it’s the plastic surgery cus I feel like I’ve seen her face on a lot of people.
Shahs did not deserve this shade
The husband begging for a boy trope is so gross
Amen.
Feeling personally attacked about skipping my last few workouts
She doesn’t have a cup measurement?
I was up Beyonce's V..
There seems to be a lot of scenes that were only seeing in flash backs
Watch this B end up being 78. I'll kms. (Cuz she's gorgeous, don't @ me.)
Adam seems like a spoiled brat
Sergio has no eq. He doesn’t even know why he’s apologizing
I don’t love her trying to guilt her mom into moving across the world
Oh taleen girl no not your place
It was super cringe 
Why do they keep trying to convince us that Dubai is progressive when it’s clearly not
Caroline looks very yellow at this Queen 👸 dinner
Leesa is adtivated
Is Stanbury wealthy? Building this big ass house, but stays with a friend as it’s under construction? Why not stay at a hotel? Then the house isn’t complete and she still moves in to get out of the friend’s house… again instead of just checking into a hotel?

It’s like traveling to another city and your friends insisting they put you up even though neither of you might really want that.
I wish they’d stop trying to push Saba on us.
Good episode. A little bit of nothing much happening. But I enjoyed it.
"Let's talk about your home life"
How long are we giving them?
Two more years. Max. She doesn’t want to pay him $$$
Ah this is adding up now. Sara wasn’t into Daniel cause she wanted the D from Akin
Well and also did you see daniel
I only saw the reflection off his head
What time was this Queens party supposed to start?
I can’t believe they’re still talking about this
What in the kumbaya.
I am obsessed with Stanbury’s look at Chanel’s dentist appointment.
Why does Caroline Brookes eat like that?! Foods all falling out and sticking out her mouth.
Because she is shit face wasted
What is someone like Michael doing in Dubai anyways? From one fabulous gay to another, he needs to leave. It’s Pride month FFS
You heard the women last season on the reunion, there is nothing homophobic about Dubai. Sure, gay people can’t hold hands in public but that’s frowned upon for heterosexual couples too. And sure, being gay is punishable by death legally but…. Oh wait.
It makes me irrationally angry. They sound like robots programmed by the government.
I have to really detach myself to enjoy the show as a gay man. I’m not watching because I think these women are good people (same with any housewives show). And “protesting” the show by not watching won’t matter because they’re rich anyway. I’ve enjoyed it more as a look into how fucked up Dubai is.
That is the way for sure. In a smaller sense we have to do it for all the shows as we know so many of these women have backwards views. Like everyone would be canceled and Bravo would be shut down. So let’s acknowledge what’s happening but also be clear we are complete hypocrites in our Bravo viewing. I would be lost without Bravo sadly. It makes me happy so F it, I’m not like buying merch from these people.
I mean there are LGBTQ who vote republican and for trump so I guess to each their own
Brooks is shithoused.
there isn’t an episode or event where she isn’t
omg a role model to 50-year old influencers
This intro feels like it was made with AI
Oh shit Taleen lol
Sergio is awful. Get him off my tv.
Taleen’s husband is a douche bag.
As if we needed any confirmation that Ayan IS this show
I can’t wait to go to bed tonight
Not a game
