Today calls for a little bit of Gina in my life. Thank God Andrea is gone. These two new ones just reek of nutbar. Gina has made it clear she’s not too friendly with the new girls, but swears she is not involved in much of the requisite conflict in season two. Pettifleur has a book coming out during filming. I’m hoping our resident Melbourne spy, Micheal will share all the tea!
Foxtel insists that Andrea quit… “Foxtel would like to thank Andrea Moss for being one of Australia’s first Real Housewives and we understand her decision not to be part of series two. We wish her much success as she returns to a ‘camera free’ life to focus on her family and help with the successful business of her husband Dr Chris Moss.”
Click through for bios on all the ladies.

Together with her husband Ben, Jackie is focused on growing La Mascara, ready to serve cocktails, bringing a touch of class to any occasion.
Janet Roach – Fabulous and fun is the only way to describe blonde bombshell Janet Roach. Single and loving it, this millionaire property developer is now living life to the max re-discovering herself, her freedom and what makes her happy. Janet is the proud mother of two sons aged 30 and 26.
Pettifleur Berenger – Determined, feisty and glamorous, Pettifleur thrives on a life of accomplishment and luxury. She is a successful property developer, lives in a penthouse in the heart of the city and is mother to 3 fantastic boys.

Lydia is a very passionate and capable woman; she has a diverse lifestyle and enjoys skiing, fashion, food and flying. Lydia has six children and step-children and loves spending time with her family.
Season one made six relatively unknown women household names and catapulted them into the spotlight with the series becoming Foxtel’s highest rating reality production at the time of launch. The series was also the first franchise outside of the US to screen on Bravo, creating a huge buzz across social media.
No word on whether Bravo plans to air season two. Somebody tweet Andy and ask him. I think he is mad at me. Again. 🙂
Oh crap I assumed they were definitely airing season 2! I think Andrea out mean-girled any housewife I’ve ever seen. I’m so glad she’s out! Thanks for the heads up. I guess I’ll find it on the Internet instead of waiting. I loved seeing how different their styles were compared to here. I wish Bravo would air all of the I ternatio al housewife shows.
I’m sure TT will give us a post so we can all share the gossip with you guys. That is most of the fun!
Andrea was bad. But you should check out Real Housewives of Vancouver’s Jody Claman. That is some elementary school MEAN girl shit going on there.
Oh I hope Bravo airs the series, but if not I’ll catch it on the web. In an article Andrea said she had run out of clothes to wear so she wasn’t returning…what a fool! According to the article she felt she was more suited for a comedy. Now I’m roflmao! I hope you recap it here TT.
I hope Micheal will agree to recap the new season… Let’s guilt him into a turn being chained to the radiator!

Normally I have the whole “I read somewhere that…” rule in place. But I really want to hear anything and everything you have heard about the show here. So these comments are exempt. I need some fun entertainment news today.

I thought I read that Lydia had gotten divorced. Must’ve dreamed it…
He wishes…
I love Gina–Chyka, too! I could do without Janet and Lydia for season 2 but at least mean girl Andrea is gone. I emailed Andy last year pleading to have Gina on WWHL but I guess he wasn’t interested since this isn’t a Bravo show. I hope Bravo will show season 2 cuz this is one of my favorites. Maybe it’s the accents.
It will be really disappointing to not be able to watch this show alongside our international friends. 🙁
I agree but you are going to recap right?
I’m SO glad Andrea is gone. Janet seems to have had the post-s1 plastic surgery.
Yes yes yes! Please, Michael!
Micheal,
YES!!!! You need to do the recap! Who better than a true Aussie to easily interpret humor, sayings, culture… etc…. Plus we will adore you like we love TT and UF!!
I LOVE this cast of Real Housewives (about at the same level of adoration I have for the Ladies of London)! They are both preferable to me to any US RH franchise (RHOBH would qualify, though, with its current cast if Brandi wasn’t on). Sending good vibes out to Andy and Bravo to bring this terrific cast back for season two.
Hail Queen Gina !
She will return leading the pack.
I love the whole Real Housewives franchise but the Melbourne show? Please i hope this never makes the light of day. It was so crappy compared to the USA and Canada versions. The production was cheap, It looked like I had filmed it on my iphone. Even the opening of the show before the episode starts looked cheap in comparison, Did the women no favours at all.
Gina is an interesting woman but the rest of the cast had nothing on any of the other shows. I guess we arent that interesting here. I am beside myself trying to see the USA shows when they air.
Bring Real Housewives of Canada and Miami back not this drivel.
YOU ARE THE WORST AUSSIE EVER. 🙁
This show is amazeballs. Y’all talk funny.

YES!!!!

I love this show and recaps are a must. This site has become my first stop on the internet every day. I love and appreciate TT and recappers and the diversity of what is covered here so very much.
Word on the street is that Jackie and Janet was still mad at Gina when filming began and Gina and her boyfriend were back together. Personally I think they were mad that Gina was an American favorite.
Janet fucked over Gina again. Allegedly. She is like the Yolanda of our show. Never go against the fan favorite girls!
I have the ‘feeling’ that Chyka really brings it this season. She is very heavy in the promotional material here.
Michael I’m so excited you will be doing the recaps. The show starts Feb 22 I believe. I can’t wait. ..lots of streaming hot tea 🙂
Omg I’m catching up on TT news from the day and after reading the sad news about BK, imagine my excitement when I got to this post! Aussie Housewives are, for me, the funnest (not a word, I realize) form of guilty pleasure viewing and I cannot wait for Season 2! I fully intend to engage Micheal’s assistance (in his capacity as the official leader of the TT-RHOM Fan Club) in petitioning Bravo should they dare not air it!
I wish I weren’t in moderation…
I hope Bravo airs season 2, if only to see more of Chyka’s gorgeous home. I covet it.
Now more importantly I want to hear what you may have done to irk Andy. Is he being sensitive?
🙂
Oh goody! Can’t wait!
