Real Housewives of Melbourne Season 2 Premiere Recap: Potty Time!

March 6, 2015 by tamaratattles 112 Comments

Here are the season two cast.
Here are the season two cast.

 

I am so behind on recapping this week. I promise Dance Moms and Catfish and more are in the pipeline. Things are just a bit busy around here today. But first let’s go to those lovely ladies from down under, the Real Housewives of Melbourne.  NOW IN PRIMETIME!

They are only doing the previews and I’m already thrilled with this episode!

Lydia

We start the season with Lydia driving her convertible down by the water.  I forget why we don’t like Lydia. I think perhaps she was too pretentious last season for some of you. I have to say, she won my heart by flying to a cheese shop. If there is anything worth cranking up the private jet for in my book, it’s good cheese.

Chyka

Everyone loves Chyka. Can she do any wrong this season? I love Chyka, her husband Bruce and their cute hospitality business.RHOMel Jackie

Jackie

Jackie is just too young for this show in my opinion. I’d like to get through an episode with her “keeping I real.”  Can’t we retire that dated phrase in 2015?  I’m going to try to be open, but if I turn out not to be on her side, I’ll be just fine with that. In an attempt to win me over, they send Jackie to lunch with Lydia and Chyka for our first scene. Jackie notes that Lydia has lost “a ton of weight.”  I really don’t notice weight fluctuations in people unless it is quite massive. I don’t see any huge difference in Lydia, she was always at a nice weight wasn’t she? Already Jackie seems to be taking digs and they haven’t even had their first salad together yet.

Side note: The Five- Two diet that they ladies mention can be found here. It’s basically eating normally for five days out of the week and fasting for two.

And we are just five minutes in when the vagina jokes/discussions begin. Is this really a global phenom among wealthy women of the world as the Real Housewives Franchises would have us believe? Because I find it nauseating. In this case the ladies are ordering “wet pussies” as a cocktail. Remember in college when buttery nipples and screaming orgasms were so scandalous to order? It’s just not a good look for perimenopausal women.

Side note: To make a wet pussy combine 1 oz Chambord® raspberry liqueur 2 oz Irish cream and6 oz milk.

Janet

While driving down the road talking to her dogs, Janet decides to call Jackie. We hate Janet, right? I feel immediate disdain for her despite my ever eroding brain being unable to recall the particulars regarding why. She just sort of exudes cuntiness. Janet is having a “potty” and it seems all the girls will be there. Janet has a new boyfriend named Carlos (or kah las) who was supposed to have her birthday party at his establishment but at the last-minute that doesn’t seem possible. Oh dear. Carlos is young, with a receding hairline and way too smiley.

RHOMel Janet's Haidresser
Is this a weave?

 

Janet goes to her hairdresser, Patrick. So far what I am gleaning is that no one is to keen on filming with Janet. Janet is there to get help choosing a dress for her potty. Lord knows she needs help. I do like the dress she is wearing in this scene though. Janet makes an issue about Patrick’s long hair. Is he wearing weave?  Dear lord. Patrick’s face as Andrea pulls out all of these sparkley rainbow brite monstrosities is priceless. Thankfully, Gina calls back and gives him a moment to figure out how to find her something decent to wear.

Back at the Wet Pussy Luncheon

Chyka explains that Jackie’s psychic abilities are real. And Lydia shares that her son is getting married in Florence soon. OMG! OMG! Are we going to Florence? I want to go to Florence!  Lydia has an assistant running her errands on preparation. Jackie seems to think this is ridiculous. Really? I don’t find that overly extravagant at all. I’d much rather see a housewife spending money on things that give her more time to enjoy her life than say, shoes. Jackie seems to have an issue with Lydia already. Lydia wants to pick up Gina and take her to the potty and apologize to her for last season. I hope these two team up because I like them both.

Gina!

Finally. The first shot of her is her walking past a story with the words “The Bitch Is Back” on the awning. Is that for real or did they superimpose that?  Gina goes to lunch with her sister Bettina. She’s just back from LA. Apparently, Gina and her “potnah” are back on and she eventually plans to move to LA. Gina is already hinting at making up with Lydia. YAY!

Awkward Silence.
Awkward Silence.

Janet’s Party

Chyka rides to the party with Jackie. Chyka likes Jackie, so I’m trying.  Their happy! happy! Shine! Shine! Shine! limo ride juxtaposed with Gina and Lydia dead silence is hilarious.  Gina’s opening line is, “I heard you and Andrew are separated.” Lovely. Lydia gives a lovely apology which is accepted without reciprocation.

Janet is hoping that her son will come to her party as his first outing after his horrific accident. Gamble arrives for her first appearance on our screens.  She paints and has a dog and lives on the beach. She’s a contemporary art consultant. What’s not to love? I can’t understand her. I think she is saying that she met her man on d-harmony. He’s an ophthalmologist. I need subtitles for this conversation. Especially because I can’t see their lips move in a lot of the scenes. She arrives with a lovely orchid for the birthday girl.

Janet’s son Jake arrives at the party. He is just recovering from being burned at a party. He looks amazing!  He’s had so many surgeries.

Janet is acting like Gamble should be terrified to meet Gina. And she refers to her as “the drag queen” as she enters the party. Gamble points out that Janet is not being particularly kind to her invited guest. Gamble falls in love with Gina. Janet is not thrilled with this alliance. Gamble is not feeling Lydia

Pettifleur has arrived. She’s a cunt. I hate her. Please let Gina hate her too. Her “potnah” seems miserable and perhaps is praying for death. Oh god. Gina is double kissing her already. NO GINA! NO!  Pettifleur is being a cunt to Gamble. This makes me like Gamble more.

Gina likes her new minion, Gamble. So they meet the next day for a filming.

Um, who is the hot guy with the pig?  I can’t believe it is Carlos. Something about being outdoor with a pig makes him hotter.  I wish my gaydar worked in Melbourne.  Micheal? Thoughts?

Anyway, Janet meets Carlos and wants to talk about rumors about Gamble.

Next Week: Lines are drawn between Janet and Gamble.

    I could not stop giggling at Patrick’s rug.
    I can’t stand Lydia, agree that Pettifleur is a massive rude cunt, Gamble terrifies me. She’s this bizarre video game evil faerie that came to life and the spell weakened as it gave her the power to speak because she barely can. I love love love Gina. Janet has no personality, I like her until she falls for gossip and turns mean. Her son looks amazing and it took huge balls for him to go on TV. I’m jealous! It was wonderful to see a mom so proud. I think that was the realist, nicest moment on any housewife show, ever.
    Their styles crack me up the most. They’re so behind that I was waiting for them to do the Marcarena at Janet’s party.

    So glad this is back. I love Gamble already. and I’ve never particularly cared for Jackie – TT, I think you hit it. She’s just not the right age for the group. The women are mature, and she..isn’t. She’s the Brandi of the group. Watch the party scenes – whenever the camera isn’t on Jackie she’s doing something to try to draw focus to her.
    I think Pettifleur is going to be one of those people I will watch to see what “she does next” but would NEVER want to meet in real life, and feel sorry for the people who are forced to interact with her for the show (Danielle Staub-y)

    I sat and watched the RHOM marathon yesterday and all the issues EVERYONE had started with Lydia and Janet. Be cause they were a couple of carrier pigeons last season, I couldn’t stomache either one of them. Speaking of Janet, I think she has Brandi beat as the worst friend in history by a mile. The way she treated Gina, I don’t see how she could ever want to be friends with her again. As for Lydia, I immediately noticed her small weight loss the minute I saw her because last season her face was very round. I know because every time I saw it i cringed (I hate big faces). This season her face seemed more defined. So far I like Gamble. She called Janet out when she made that crack about Gina being a drag queen. I see Janet’s starting her messiness already. Pettifluer seems very pretentious. Jackie is annoying to me. Love Chycka. I was so impressed with Lydia when she spoke of, and then apologized to Gina. Maybe if Adrienne was there it might have been a different story, so thank god Adrienne is gone. Thanks for the recap. I was so looking forward to it:-).

      Janet and Gina are admitted frenemies. She really didn’t do anything that was THAT big of a deal.

      Brandi for no reason at all tried to turn everyone against lvp – after Lisa defended her at every turn – and then tried to dig up stupid ass dirt to further her smear campaign. Way worse of a move.

      Couldn’t agree more. Lydia single handedly initiated the downward hate Gina spiral among the ladies by betraying the confidence of Gina. It was shady the way she did it as well, by not mentioning that Gina stated that Jackie obviously has some credibility during that same phone call, which would have mitigated the harshness of the initial comment. The conversation with her mother before heading out to pick up Gina does not bode well. That told me Gina was the subject of discussion between her mother and her, and not in a positive light, though she was trying to spin her side of it in a positive light for the camera. That ride to the party was one of the most awkward set of moments I think I’ve ever seen on a Housewives show. Lydia didn’t deserve an apology, and I’m glad she didn’t get one. Janet is as bad actually for the same reason, betrayal of friendship confidence, only on a larger scale. Jackie and her husband get two thumbs down for Jackie’s husband forcing the discussion at the housewarming party with Jackie and the other ladies making out it was Gina who forced the issue. Janet’s a bitch, Jackie’s a clueless psychic charlatan, and Lydia should have been fired. Shine shine shine that you phoney bitch!
      That said does anyone else love they way they say Gina’s name? (Geener/Jeaner)

    I tried to catch up on last season when Bravo did the marathon, but the Jodi verdict interrupted. The first time I saw Gina, I thought is she transgender? I definitely like her. Didn’t understand Lydia’s problem last season, but I did miss some episodes. Janet is a huge gossipy trouble maker. I guess it didn’t take her long to start this season. Will Micheal be adding some colorful background for us on the cast and or locations?

    Love these new ladies….well, actually Gina, Chyka and newbie, Gamble. I was sick at home and watched the past season all at once. At the end of that I really didn’t like Adrienne. What a horrible mess she is. So insecure, hateful, petty, mean spirited and fugly. If she were back on I would have seriously considered not watching. But, thankfully the new show is a new start. BTW I think Janet is too old to be in this group, although her dogs are cute!

Apparently Andrea filmed something for this season, but no one will let slip what her swan song is, or how it will occur. Maybe she was just cut?

    Glad you are blogging these ladies. Janet is a mess, it was so funny watching her lapping up all tbose affirmations from Carlos. He was really working himself out of a jam and handled her like a pro gigolo. Lydia is just too ordinary to be interesting. Gina love her! She can do no wrong. Jackie trying way too hard, also I think she is looking for the next step up and is so shady. Too thirsty. Love chyka, dont love the lesbian hair. Hard to look at that style on her, she is better than that look. No words for petitfleur except i wouldn’t doubt she offed some old man husband to inherit. Scary woman, yikes. Neutral on gamble so far.

    Lydia lost about 10 — maybe 15 pounds at the most. So yeah not a “ton” of weight at Jackie said, but enough to be noticeable. It has definitely made her face less round//more defined.

    The biggest problem I had with Lydia was her friendship with Andrea the self-righteous cunt (yes I’m calling her the “c” word). Lydia is kind of a follower and she followed Andrea in being a cunt.

    I noticed “The Bitch is Back” awning in Gina’s first scene too! I think the awning is real but no way was that shot just “luck” — good planning on the Aussie production crew.

    Jackie — her eyes are too close together! I find her kind of annoying — maybe TT is right and it’s just the fact that she’s too young for this group.

    Gamble is straight up anorexic. I think she was a fan of the show and came on with an agenda. Although it was nice to call Janet out on her gossiping bitchiness.

    Pettifleur — fan of the show who came in with an agenda to be a cunt. I l also get the vibe she’s hiding something. I *do* like how she told Jackie “English” when she asked “What language do you speak?”

    Chyka & Janet — same as last year; One’s a doll the other — isn’t.

        Thanks for the heads up. I don’t exactly think of Chyka as an “innocent,” and I’m sure production has put the pressure on her to bring the drama this season after being the “6th housewife” last season. I just see Chyka as being more level-headed and not operating out of a place of such insecurity, jealousy & delusion (as Andrea did last season). As long as she doesn’t go bat-shit, Andrea-level crazy this season trying to stay “relevant” she’ll be OK IMO.

      angienc, I agree Gamble seemed predisposed to liking Gina. That restaurant gift giving scene kind of reminded me of the show Survivor when the contestants are wrangling for alliances. As for Pettifleur, it’s already clear I’m not going to like her, the only question about her is am I going to like not liking her, like say the way I despised Kristen this season on Vanderpump Rules. I suspect not. She’s managed to annoy and bore me at the same time so far. That my chilluns emulate me to their own success routine was cringe worthy.

    Yayyy! Love the Melbourne Housewives series. Tamara, we didn’t like Lydia because she was a follower of mean girl Andrea and when Gina invited her to a gathering to celebrate being cancer free she rolled her eyes and in her talking head basically said she didn’t care about Gina being a cancer survivor–pretty harsh. However, I am impressed and a lot surprised that she apologized to Gina. Still loving Gina and Chykka. Agree about Jackie being too young, I can’t seem to warm to her, Janet is starting her shit talking again about Gina, Pettifleur seems to be a bitch but not in a good way and I’m okay w/Gamble for now–time will tell. Thanks for recapping and disregard my email.

      Yes I think Lydia was very lucky not to be dumped along with Andrea after her behaviour. I wish Gina would wear less makeup, it’s all the eyeshadow and eyeliner that makes her look a bit tranny. I think Janet was an utter bitch to say what she did when Gina entered, how hurtful when Gina sees that played back. I hate Pettifleur’s lips, they are so stuffed with filler.

        You can order that shit on line for $29.99. It’s called the “Carrie” necklace and can be personalized to say whatever you want. I don’t get how this is special, either. Is “wow” her signature word? Is she Paris Hilton now? I am puzzled.
        Other than that, I think all the ladies look lovely, and Melbourne is gorgeous.

    Thx for the recap, I haven’t had a chance to see the premiere yet, wasn’t sure I was gonna go back in, but def want to check out the newbies. Last season, Gina was my fave, Chyka second place – her businesses are interesting, Jackie not so much, and the others were so-so.

    Glad to have the Melbourne ladies back! And so glad Andrea is gone. The original 5 haven’t changed much. Janet is the cunt of the group, IMO. She’s mean and catty and fake. I could so see her being a total bitch as soon as the cameras go off. Jackie is a drama queen and I still can’t stand all her over-the-top facial expressions and gesticulating all over the place. TT hit the nail on the head – she’s too young for this group. Lydia seems to be feeling the sting from viewer backlash about her stank attitude and shit-stirring last season so she’s remade herself both physically (not that I really noticed) and persona-ly. I always thought of her as a weak follower so we’ll see if she develops any chops as the season progresses. Now that Andrea is gone, whose heels will she lick now? Loved Chyka last season. To me, she was the Lisa Vanderpump of Melbourne. I hope she hasn’t decided, or been persuaded, to amp up the controversy just to remain relevant. She’s got plenty going on with her businesses, family, and opulent lifestyle to keep her interesting. Gina still seems to be the same: overly made-up, sparkly-dressed, confident, sassy, and clear-headed. Authentic individual.

    Now the newbies…Agree with the friendly poster above who said it seems Pettifleur watched the show and decided to come on as the villain. So far she’s not fabulous to me in any way. Now Gamble, I love! I don’t know why. She reminds me a little of Anna Nicole Smith. A little. She seems ditzy, but not dumb. So far I like her first impressions of the other women and I like her attraction to Gina. Speaking of attraction, I think Gamble may not be heterosexual. Maybe. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. And actually I think I would gravitate towards Gina, too, so I get it.

    I’m excited to Watch What Happens!

        I was thinking the other day about how truly ballsy (or fame whoreish) all these women are who work to get onto these housewives shows. As fun as it sounds, I would never do it. And I’m skeleton-less. I wouldn’t want all the scrutiny. Or the pressure. You can bet Chyka, and all the other women on these shows, get loads of criticism for what they do or don’t do. Some cannot stay true to themselves, I guess. They change to please the viewers and lose themselves in the process, at least on camera. Sad.

Gina looked like she was going toe to toe with both the new ladies and Janet. I forgot to mention that it almost looks like Gina is wearing less makeup. You could actually see her eyes. She looked much better and her hair looked thicker. She looks nice.

I still love Gina and chyka so far, Janet is taking over Andrea’s spot it seems. Jackie annoyed me season 1 and I feel like that’s not going to change. Lydia seems to be doing the camille grammer approach where you just say nothing so viewers stop hating you. Don’t know how I feel about Gamble yet.
    Btw the difference between Janet’s face and her body seems extra noticeable to me this season

      I notice that with Janet too. She is too thin. I saw a plastic surgeon on tv who said that older women look better with a little bit of extra weight because it makes the face look a little younger. Facial shape changes with age, apparently you lose volume. Or, Janet has the money and can get restalyne or some other crap to fill out her face (I tuned the rest out).

        On Janet what i noticed was her awful fake nose and during her talking heads I couldn’t stop staring at her disgusting chest. It was two rock hard, way too perky baseballs sewn onto the boniest chest I’ve ever seen.
        Don’t get me started on Gamble’s face. I’m just really shocked that no one else thought she was an alien made from spare parts with a brain not fully attached.

Maybe it’s my high def TV but the city looks so lush, green, metropolitan, & these ladies are fucking rich. Not pretend rich. Gamble’s house on the ocean’s cliff is stunning. I’m very intrigued by Gina. She is still the color of a scorched pumpkin, but I think she toned downed her eye make-up to only 3 colors now. 😛

    I realized Pettifleur was a huge cunt after she gave the loooong version of her ethnic background, expecting everyone to ooh and ahhhh and be impressed. There’s about three very geographically different countries on each of her sides. Naturally, Janet asked what language she speaks. Janet meant languages plural because she seemed fascinated by Pettifleur’s history who cuntilly replied ENGLISH I’m in Australia and we speak English here. Well duh! Janet already knows you speak English, you cunt. She’s a snobby, insecure bitch. But her son is kind of hot.

Kinda looks like Ivana Trump…had my chuckling when she described psychics. Lydia def lost some Lbs, but still boring as all get out. Co-sign on Chyka’s lesbian haircut – not cute on her at all. Janet is adorably eccentric. Not feeling Pettifleur at all….something tells me Sri Lanka is her real ethnic identity and she’s posing. Her Aussie accent had holes in it.

She is the Aussie version of Amal Clooney….and only down under can anyone still wear sequinned dresses in the daytime with Jackie Collin’s hair + makeup. These girls are fun to watch, such a nice change from all the other HW’s.

          What you are seeing on Melbourne isn’t “bad nose jobs.” You see, in the rest of the world everyone doesn’t run down to get a Michael Jackson after surgery 5 nose. People all have different noses that give their faces individual character. I know it is a difficult concept when you are used to seeing anorexic, blond women with tiny noses and botoxed faces and giant lips, but in other places, people still look like people one would find in nature, in a variety of sizes and shapes, with various skin tones, hair colors and nose shapes. ​

      @micheal and tanya,

      DC was great for me because they (almost) all were educated and dressed age-appropriately. I liked how they debated issues that were political, and were willing to learn and re-adjust their viewpoints. I also lived for the hotmess of those white house crashers– the frantic search for the “missing invitation”, disobeying white house security and high tailing it through the gate, store-bought grape stomping at their defunct shriveled vineyard, the embarrassing lie of nfl cheerleading and subsequently being off-sync and lost during the game … Oh, so much could have happened during a season 2.

      Still, I wish they had more African Americans that would be representative of the fabric of DC… but at least the ones they had didn’t act a complete fool! Sometimes I wish the housewives would include Asian Americans, but then I see atlanta and realize Andy would find ones ready to make a fool of themselves. #disgrasians
