Real Housewives of Melbourne Recap: Manila Bound

April 16, 2015 by tamaratattles 50 Comments

RHOMEL Manila

 

I don’t think I ever got around to watching last week’s Real Housewives of Melbourne! Ooops. Manila’s department of Tourism must have a big budget as this is the second Real Housewives franchise to be flown in to increase interest in Manila tourism. They are having a huge Tourism campaign in 2015 to try to convince us that it is a very safe place to visit.

That one dreadful women took a couple of other ladies shopping. meh.

There was a ridiculous dog show where Gamble entered her dog despite not having a lick of training or apparently any interest in the event whatsoever. meh

Janet Meets with Lydia, Chyka and Jackie to update them on her “tea company.” This is the fake storyline to explain the trip to manila where they will all be joining Janet to meet with a “tea master.” It has nothing to do with the fact that Manila is paying people to come film their fair city. Lydia’s maid is from the Philippines. This is about the extent of everyone’s knowledge of the country. Which is why they are having such a huge tourism push to start with.

Gamble’s sister is in town to see a cosmetic surgeon. Gamble admits to having had $90,000 worth of surgery but seems to think that $20,000 of that doesn’t really count because that was to correct some bad surgery she had previously. Gamble’s sister looks lovely, yet Gamble is encouraging her to have all sorts of things done. RHOMEL Chyka Stripper

Chyka and Jackie are planning Gamble’s “hen party.”  Since when are these two Gamble’s BFFs? Of course there must be strippers and Chyka is super into the process of selection the…um… talent. As perverted as I am,  I have never cared for male strippers. It’s just one of those things you do once and try to avoid whenever possible thereafter.

The ladies go to a charity poker event. It’s Lydia, Pettifleur, Chyka and Jackie. Was it really a $10,ooo buy in? Lydia has a new man named Shane. She says they are just friends. She also said she had a good hand in order to make Chyka fold. They are most likely banging. Or shagging as they say down under.

There is way too much Pettifleur in this episode. Pettifleur is take about ten handbags. Why? I know I always say this but women who don’t know how to pack to travel just irks the piss out of me. Lydia’s housekeeper gives her a letter to give to her parents if she sees them. Because Manila is a town with such a tiny population?  I suppose they will probably find the parents and shoot a scene.

This batch 0f housewives stays at the Solaire. I hope these women have better travel manners than their American counterparts.

Jackie brought her stylist to the Philippines. Because he is from the Philippines.  Jackie doesn’t know what couture means. But that doesn’t stop her from saying it every fifteen seconds.

Gina, Chyka and Gamble have a cocktail before shopping and begin to discuss Pettifleur’s book, Switch the Bitch. Chyka has read it and she googled and found Omarosa book called, The Bitch Switch. Chyka asks Gina if that is a legal issue.  I really don’t think that it is. There are lots of books out there with the exact same name as others. Now if the content is a rip off of Omarosa’s book that will be a problem. Gina says she finds the title degrading to women regardless. Gamble doesn’t know how to say feminist. She says fenimist. Fenimist sounds like a douche, or a vaginal deodorant of some sort.

Pettifleur, Lydia and Janet go jewelry shopping. Pettifleur says that she thinks Gina is racist toward her and is always taking little digs at her about her race.

Later, Chyka, Janet, Gamble and Pettifleur enjoy drinks on the rooftop terrace of the hotel.  Such a beautiful sunset.  Chyka drops this  comment, “What about when we came in from the airport. Did you see all the kids playing in the rubbish? But they’re happy and they love it.”  Yes, children just love living in the slums. On the other hands Pettifleur  was saddened to see all the small boys cleaning windshield in traffic trying to earn enough money to feed themselves and possibly  their families.

Later the ladies all meet for dinner at the hotel restaurant which Lydia informs us is on the “seventy-one-th” floor. She informs us that means it is really high up.

Pettifleur asks Chyka what she thought about her book. Chyka points out that the constant use of the word bitch was not particularly empowering to women. She also brings up that there is already a book with a very similar title. Pettifleur is aware of the other book. Pettifleur says Gina’s concern is “goobleygoosh.”

Gamble takes this golden moment in time to explain that the reason she can’t pronounce some words correctly is because she has hearing problems.

An argument breaks out between Gina and Pettifleur get into an argument.  Gina says, “You can back right off , I’m not interested in your opinion and you can keep it to yourself. Thank you. I don’t want to hear your opinion. I wouldn’t read your book, especially now because I know you.”

NEXT WEEK:  The dinner brawls continue. Gina and Jackie get into it and  Jackie says Gina: “When’s the last time you had a shag? That’s what you need, a fucking good root.” I think that advice should be heeded by all of them. Pettifleur starts with Gina being ugly to her because of her race. Jackie jumps in on Pettifleur’s side so Gina tells Jackie to fuck off.  Jackie returns the insult and shoot Gina the bird.  Ah bitching at each other over dinner, it seems to be a Real Housewives staple.

    Not sure if you know who Lydia’s new man ‘Shane’ is…it’s Shane Warne, a very famous (within Australia) cricket player, who dated Liz Hurley and subsequently got a whole lot of really awful plastic surgery. He’s also famous for not being able to keep it in his pants.

    Is it me or is pettiflur extremely annoying ? She erks me ! Maybe because she appears to be trying too hard to act the way she thinks wealthy people should . Maybe it’s because she’s ashamed of her race and goes out of her way to distance herself like when she said “actually English nuns taught us” who cares ?!? Why not say yes I have an accent and what’s wrong with that ? Maybe it’s the horrible blonde haiir thAt all self hating ethnic people insists on having regardless of whether it looks good with their skin tone or not . I just can not with that woman, I hope they don’t ask her back next season .
    Now on to Gamble , how is her sister ten years older than her? They look the same age .Her sister is so cute I hope she didn’t ruin her face by making it into a stiff mask because Gamble looks like madame the puppet .
    Chyka doesn’t want to be kicked off the show , she’s stirring the pot, playing with strippers , made her daughter move home to appear on camera ,what’s next ?

      Pettifluer is cringworthy TV. She’s so insecure and can’t take the heat from Gina but bullies Gamble who she views as weak. What’s up with her vacation packing? Did anyone notice how inappropriate her shopping dress was? Who in the hell wears a long silk resort wear dress to shop? Own and be proud you are from Sri Lanka, who gives a shit anyway?

    I caught just a portion of the show – the private stripper scene. That scene of Chyka and the last stripper was …. I don’t even know. Too much. I must have become an old fart and didn’t even know it. The guy had a smoking hot body, but I don’t want some almost nude guy grinding on me. And he was all oily. Eww

    Gamble’s dog show outfit in that red color was so gorgeous, chic, & stylish.

    In one of the scenes Janet was wearing a skin tight black dress with gold accents on her boobs. I thought to myself why is this 70 year old woman dressed like a fly girl from In Living Color?

    It was hilarious when Pettifluer was picking dresses to pack for her trip with her housekeeper as she name checked Valentino & Roberto Cavalli. The housekeeper gave Pettifluer a “bitch please I don’t care, just get the fuck out of town” look.

      I thought Janet’s black dress with the shiny gold breast supports was appalling for her age, for anyone really. A 28 year old in a night club okay, not strutting down the street in the daytime.

      I also loved Gamble’s style at the dog show. They were both so unprepared, it was endearing in a way.

    I feel sure that the small boys washing the windshields didn’t get a dime from Pettifleur even though she felt so sorry for those kids. I would have found a way to get my hard earned money to those small boys. At least you then know that the money you hand them didn’t go in the pockets of some of these bogus charities or sent by mail to a third world country where the rulers of the country keeps the money for themselves.

    Chyka’s husband probably isn’t too happy looking at this picture with Chyka and the male stripper.

    Her cool persona just dropped down to 90% in my eyes. I took her to be more businesslike, family oriented and not ever wanting to be seen in a picture with a male stripper. OK… Here we go… Now sneaking into a club to see a male stripper for the 1st time in your life is another thing entirely!! That’s totally different! Am I bad or what? 😉

    Ha ha, love Tamera’s comment “Fenimist sounds like a douche,” it’s a great name for a douche! Loved Gambles red outfit, she looked great! So sick of seeing women act like they love these male strippers rubbing on them. I’ve always thought this was for ugly women who couldn’t date a hot guy in real life.

      Even if you are an ugly woman who can’t get a date in real life, it’s not fun. They are covered in a sticky oily paste. It stinks like the bodies of everyone else they have rubbed on. It’s nauseating.

      Or so I hear.​

        I am not attracted to or find anything attractive/sexy about the physical aesthetic of male strippers. They are so gross looking & nothing sexy about their “entertainment routine”. Plus their skin is plucked, waxed, & spray tanned to point of looking like like turkey jerky. #Bleh

      Yes she has a drag queen vibe sigh I envy her toned arms.. I go back and forth with liking her, I do admire her intellect but I think she can be a bit surly at times. She’s good TV that’s for sure and I think she’s more “real” than many others, I’d definitely saddle up to her as a potential friend over Lydia and Janet who seem dull intellectually. I like Jackie for all her craziness as well. Just wish Jackie and Gina could be friends!

She acts likes she’s a compassionate caring person but I’m not buying it. Something about the over the top adjectives and sex talk makes it seem like she’s trying to hard.
    I do find her the best dressed though! Dude Janet and the gold boob cups. AWFUL.

    My consolation is that these cunt satchels are every bit as ugly as their American counterparts.

    The one and only time I went to a “strip show (review)”, the sleepy oily freaks decided that everyone needed to have their salami-enhanced pkg rubbed all over our faces and hair. There is something REALLY wrong with a man grabbing a woman’s head and forcing it into his crotch! Now you know why I said salami! Brings back horrendous memories for me and it was really all I could do not to bite the shirt out of him! To top it off, there was no getting that smelly oily shut out of my blouse and jacket. Made me regret going that night! What the stinking did the petite flower have on her head in the preview? Between that fully turban-bowling ball-oldladyswimcap thing and that jeweled pixie doodads, and let’s not forget that stupid sailboat, she makes me say “HMMMM”! I have found that the truly truly wealthy don’t act like a name-dropping wanna-be! Somehow, she tries WAY too hard. She treats everyone as if she is doing them a favor by gracing them with her presence..No Thanks- we need to prune that tacky flower…spoiled blossoms always ruin the bouquet!
