It’s time for season two of Ladies of London. I love this show but to be honest, I don’t remember much about season one other than Annabelle falling off the horse. So It will take me a minute to remember everyone’s names. Noelle is not back, for obvious reasons. Her boyfriend committed suicide in horrific fashion and she was on the phone right before it happened. Gruesome. Caprice is not back. I want to say I remember not liking her anyway, but I could be wrong. I love this show though, and going into it with a clean slate is kind of nice. Julie Montagu was upgraded to full time “Lady” and we have one new person, Sophie Stanbury Here’s her official bio “After finishing school at a traditional Convent in England, Sophie worked successfully at one of the world’s largest hedge funds before deciding to change direction to work at London’s forty plus year old exclusive members club, Annabel’s. It was during this time that she became firmly planted on the London social scene. Sophie has been long-time friends with Caroline Stanbury, who introduced her to her brother Alex, and the two are now married with beautiful boys, Harry and Finn. Today, she owns her own design company, whilst juggling motherhood and London’s limelight.”
Caroline S’s business is growing by leaps and bounds. I’m pretty sure she is annoying.
Julie and Annabelle are in a car flying toward someplace. It’s good to see Annabelle up and about but her back is still giving her a lot of pain since the horse incident. Annabelle says that her back is improving. The accident was so bad they didn’t even show it on TV. Julie was a great friend to Annabelle during her recovery. Julie is taking Annabelle to the Mapperton estate. It’s so incredibly beautiful. We got through the whole Earl of Sandwich story again. It’s worth hearing twice.
Juilet drops in on Caroline S. Was Juliet my favorite last year? I remember tweeting with my favorites. I just don’t remember who they are. Apparently Marrissa and Juliet have had a falling out. Those are the two Americans, right? I’m sorry. I should be telling you guys this. I was a bit caught off guard when the show started tonight. Marrisa has a new baby, Jake. Was Marissa always this…um… confident?
Juliet’s husband is working in between Stockholm and someplace for work all week. This is not good for a marriage. So I hear. But honestly, how the hell would I know?
OMG, we did Thanksgiving LAST SEASON ladies. Why must Carole S, go through the whole “what is Thanksgiving?” crap again. Oh wait, it was Fourth of July last season. But whatever. Caroline. Caroline sent out a save the date for a cocktail party the day before Thanksgiving. Because everyone hosts a cocktail party on a random Wednesday in November. Oh wait, no they don’t. Only if they are filming a show and want to take the piss out of someone else’s Thanksgiving event the next day. I don’t care if you live in Libya or Guyana, if you are an American, you try your best to pull together a Thanksgiving dinner. I’m irritated with Caroline. I’m irritated with the WORLD at the moment so surely I am “over reacting.” I get told that a lot.
Partridges is apparently a civilized establishment in London where they sell ‘MERICAN food. Because otherwise you would be eating spotted dick for Thanksgiving. And no one should eat spotted dick. Like, ever. I don’t care how well traveled one might be. They sell Goldfish, the crackers, which pleases one of the ugly American transplants. As it should.
Juilet doesn’t want to eat Thanksgiving dinner at Bumpkin, because it is a restaurant. Um, yeah, it’s a restaurant that Marissa OWNS. It’s not like you are going to miss the football games by going out. It’s not anyone else’s fault you eat out every day. Learn to cook! Hell, you’re rich, hire a personal chef! Stop being such a wet blanket. Caroline thinks Marissa is trying to be a social climber by having the inner at Bumpkin instead of her house? Oh hell. I am already picking teams and Caroline and Juliet are NOT on my team. Shut up, Juliet. Cleanup on the Goldfish aisle!
OMG. Julie’s boys are adorable. Her life is straight out of Harry Potter. There was a near hot chocolate crisis! She lives in the smallest house and she has no help! Actually, the hot chocolate crisis was not averted. Tragic.
Caroline is stunningly beautiful on the outside in the morning in her “I am not wearing makeup” makeup. Juliet arrives and says she looks like crap. Other than the harsh lip liner, Caroline looks perfect. Her teacups are gorgeous. I’ve never seen real tea cups in England that large though. I thought that was an American version of tea cups. Anyway, Juliet convinces Caroline to do Thanksgiving at her house. WTF? NOE. WTF does Caroline know about Thanksgiving? I hope Marissa holds her ground and they have two versions. Stupid Juliet is such a ruiner.
Juilet goes to talk to Marissa about Thanksgiving at Caroline’s. Juliet is all…”why do we have to do what you want to do?” And I’m thinking, “Bitch, you were invited to a Thanksgiving dinner. If you don’t want to go, then don’t go, but don’t tell the hostess you don’t like her plan so she should cancel and go to whatever dumbass thing you want to do!” And YAY! Marissa says exactly that. But you know, nicer.
Caroline is having a cocktail party for 18 of London’s “best women.” One of the top 18 is apparently Caroline Fleming. Caroline S tells all of her guests the square footage of her new house. Sophie Stanbury is also there. Oh and Marissa is there! Marissa brings Thanksgiving hats for Caroline and her kids since they are not coming to dinner. Caroline tells Marissa that everything is Juliet’s fault. They are okay but Marissa and Juliet are not. Caroline’s kids are so delighted to be in her presence. One might think they only got to see their mum because television cameras are there.
Juliet arrives during a rainstorm. A perfect metaphor for the dark cloud that follows her everywhere. I hate Juliet. She’s such an ungrateful toad. Marissa has been doing Thanksgiving for many, many years in London. And she incorporated Juliet’s birthday into the party. Caroline loves that they are “fighting over her.”
I love Marissa, but why is her hair SO BAD in her talking heads?
Next week: New country, same bitchy drama.
I thought we all liked Caroline? I’m sure she and Marissa were my favs.
Well, I can’t remember who l liked last season. Someone click the links and read the old recaps and reminds me. 🙂
But as of now, I only like Marissa. Caroline is very pretty when she isn’t speaking.
Last year, I liked Caroline because she was an assertive, strong woman. Juliet’s brattiness must amuse her, but I don’t see the charm of her bull in a china shop demeanor. She’s too rude and crude. Marissa fits in better in this world and that drives Juliet bonkers.
Juliet reminds me of the Odd Mother Out (on Bravo?) Character. But she really does give American’s a bit of a bad name. She enforces the stereortype that American’s can’t assimilate well into other cultures. Aka bull in a china store.
I loved this show, but Caprice did turn vicious towards the end. They had a marathon this past weekend. It would have been great for you to remind yourself what fun the show was. I love a snarky put down with out all the violence and screaming we have on so many Bravo shows. Btw I thought your photo was so pretty I wish you kept it up.
I a m going to go back and read your recaps from last year. I had no idea this was on last night and I don’t remember last year.
Love Ladies of London. Big fan of Caroline, Juliet was horribly embarrassing last season and seems to still be this year-social climber and representative of why Americans are viewed as obnoxious. Very happy that Julie is full time lady this season…loved her last season and follow her on IG, but I am also a yogi (yogini).
I loved Caroline last season, and Juliet. Couldn’t stand Annabelle.
first thing i noticed in the new season…….they ALL have bad hair! second thing i noticed….how come caroline was sitting and having a fancy breakfast while trying to figure out which employee was going to her kids events….and i dont think she was going to any of them?
It’s as if you think british aristocracy actually parent their own children. Oh the folly of the thought.
It’s said that when Prince Charles was a little boy and his parents returned from a long tour, he pointed at his mother and asked his nanny who the lady was.
I wonder if any of her staff are free for “open house” night at my child’s school? …. Oh man! I am on the PTO and some people might know my face! That’s ok! I will just tell my British “stand in” to tell them “I was drunk last time we saw each other and I think you were drunk and on shrooms because you kept talking about little green men who were stripping like Magic Mike”.
I got the feeling that Caroline’s kids may only been able to approach her on camera and they were unsure of how to do it exactly.
I have to admit that when I finally get a kid – I will be hiring someone to help. Not fulltime but ALOT of the time to raise it. Daddy needs a life too.
I am TOTALLY available to be your big fat American Nanny. But I will need to fly private to get there. With Banjo.
I will need a bigger apartment to fit us all in. Give me 5 years to upgrade. Will probably have to get a surrogate from America anyways (commercial surrogacy is banned here).
I don’t HAVE five years. I need us to already BE pregnant! This ad shit is NOT working out. Perhaps you should support me in the mean time. I mean we already have a room!
Every kid needs to be raised with a dog, FYI.
I’m really stressed out about this ad shit. So, I assume you must be REALLY stressed out. Is anyone an IT backend coding tech around here?
This ad bs is starting to stress me out. I can only imagine how stressed out you are. Is anyone around here an IT coding backend infrastructure architect?
Note: posted similar comment but it may have gone to spam or my phone fucked it.
She is a bitch. She openly comments about how little time she spends with them. Sad. Poor kids.
@ Erica – Every dog should have a boy. Or a girl is just as good.
EVERYONE in London and all over UK has bad hair unless it’s cut short like Princess Di’s or naturally curly or wavy. It’s because it’s always 80% humidity on the isle and the weather changes 5 times a day from damp muggy mornings to screaming winds and horribly cold rainstorms when you need to war Polartek until the sun comes out again and you begin sweating under your layers. look at how awful Renee Zelweger’s hair was in the Bridget Jones movies. And Renee and Marissa both gave thin limp hair anyway.
I think Juliet was being sarcastic about Caroline looking like crap. It was said in jest when Caroline Saud she was nursing a hangover & but clearly still looked beautiful.
Re: Marissa and Juliette’s hair… I so agree with you all! Why is their hair so flat? No volume, just limp and thin.
Last year Annabelle was my fave. I liked Marissa, too. But I think Annabelle will always be my favorite.
I know a lot of you like Caroline S. But I don’t know… I am conflicted about her. I do like her sometimes, but she is a snob.
I am just glad Caprice and Noel are gone. I didn’t like either of them.
I am currently watching this now… Tamara- you are so right!! The hair! The hair!! What is wrong with Marissa’s hair in her talking head? Who the hell is her hair stylist? They need to be fired!
Also, why is it that Caroline looks better with her makeup off than on? Why does she usually wear a pastel-light color on her lips? For someone who is so rich and has her own makeup man, she could get a better look at the makeup counter of any mall store.
I agree Pip! But Marrissa looks great in all the scenes! The talking head hair was just odd….
FYI- my comment on the OC thread never made it through. That was where my comments were disappearing last time. The other OC thread. I have a comment in outer space somewhere floating around.
I’m sure it was brilliant and waiting ten minutes for me to put your comment through was tortuous for all of us. My apologies, Pip. Perhaps I had to pee or let the dog out first. Again, we should not have had to wait. It is up now.
It was super brilliant!
No actually it wasn’t. Sorry for my impatience. ?
I know! I spent the whole show thinking a good colorist could get really rich in London right now. The viscountess’ blonde is a disaster.
I hates Julie (the one who brays like a donkey) and I loves Caroline and Annabel. So happy caprice is gone. Marissa reminds me too much of Charlotte on s&tc. Too perfect and cutesy. That is all.
Maybe its the humidity and all of the rain.
I LOVE Caroline S and I think you will remember that you probably did too. I actually enjoy her and Juliet’s friendship. I sense that Caroline loves when Juliet walks into her house and promptly tells her she looks like crap because nobody else in her life does that. Caroline is VERY British, but she’s got a wicked sense of humor about the customs and traditions. She upholds them, but does it with a wink and a nod and somehow ended up being the very unlikely Greek chorus of everything last season. I went into it prepared to hate her and by the end thought she was delightful.
I’d like Caroline more if she didn’t feel the need to have Juliet as a hanger-on. There are some people who like having troubled friends, because it makes them feel better about themselves.
Me too! Caroline’s also really, really good at throwing shade.
TT, I think all of us loved Caroline last year. I haven’t seen the episode yet. I hope that I won’t be disappointed .
Fine, I will try to remember why I liked her…
She was/is witty, dry sense of humor and was a but of an antisnob. The two who left were the most annoying really.
I have to love Caroline because I have to see that amazing house. That staircase, for the love of God.
I love her as she is the british version of Vanderpump…..wait a minute!
Ooooh LVP sent me a direct message on twitter because I was running the marketing team for some of her old venues in London. I’ve never felt so fancy!!! That must mean we are BFFs now.
….I must befriend you now.
Mark, are you free friday night?
No he is not. Don’t be such a social climber!
I missed this show and am so glad it’s back. Although it always takes me a couple of episodes to remember who everyone is except Anabelle (probably because she’ a equestrian) The thing I really enjoy is that these women have real careers, fancy homes and are doing actual things. No fake lawyers\ morticians, husbands who follow the around like a valet or designers of toasters and international lifestyle brands and no twerking! Plus I love how they show alot of the city and county side.
The Ladies of London make our housewives look like hausfraus in comparison.
“No fake lawyers\ morticians, husbands who follow the around like a valet…”
Sounds familiar… Ha ha ha!
I really enjoy the scenes between Caroline and Juliet. I like them together. Their friendship seems authentic to me. I am not a fan of Marissa tries too hard. She is coming off a little fake to me. Why is she so against keeping some American traditions. Anabelle is a little too much for me. I am happy Caprise is gone, she sucked the air out of the room. Just my twenty three cents.
Marissa is against keeping some American traditions?????? WTF? I think she’s modified some to make them more palatable to her British friends and family – and using the restaurant is simply accommodating. London households aren’t built like many of ours. The open concept just doesn’t exist in homes that are 300 years old in the middle of the city. After all, there are no football games to worry about. But she threw a really fun 4th of July party – that if someone were a normal person either Brit or American would have been a fun adapted celebration – and I expect her Thanksgiving meal will be the same.
I have a friend who married a guy who is half Japanese. Her mother in law came to the States when she was in her late teens, early 20s (I can’t remember). When the grandkids came along, she wanted to celebrate 1/4 of their heritage which is 100 percent hers. New Years Eve is hers – she cooks up a storm. Mainly pure Japanese, but some Japanese American adaptations – they all acknowledge that it isn’t exactly like how Japan would do it, but they acknowledge that is fun, and a celebration of “Grandma” and how she’s influenced them (and their own Japanese heritage, if the are biologically connected). It isn’t meant to be serious – but a great excuse to acknowledge someone far from their home roots and to experience some different food, etc.
If Juliet’s memories and feelings are different this year because it falls on her birthday she should have explained WELL before now… as in MONTHS AGO. (I can understand her wanting to do something different , every so often my cousin’s b-day falls on Thanksgiving Day. He doesn’t mind now (ahem, take note, Juliet) but he said it sucked when he was a kid. If you want a truly traditional “at home” celebration – either FLY TO FUCKING CHICAGO or HOST IT YOURSELF.
We meet at someone’s house, potluck… but if someone offered to host in his or her restaurant – WE WOULD SO BE THERE.
I can understand why Juliet wouldn’t want to do another promo for Bumpkin Thanksgiving dinner. The problem really wasn’t with the dinner, but Marissa’s inability to compromise and always wanting to be right. Juliet also mentioned that Marissa always works hard to make her feel bad. Seems like they are more frenamies versus friends.
By the way, WTH was Marissa wearing to that cocktail party. UGLY and ill fitting.
Since when does Marissa have to “compromise” She has been doing a Thanksgiving feast since long before Juliet showed up on the scene. She graciously invited Juliet to come. The guest do not dictate to the hostess where the party is held, what is on the menu or who the other guests are (however, Marissa told me last night that Juliet handed her a guest list of friends she want to invite to “her birthday party.” and Marissa had graciously accomadated.) Juliet has too options. Accept the invitation, or decline the invitation and go do whatever her bratty little heart desires with her own kids and friends.
What on earth is Marissa trying “to be right” about? Marissa is having a celebration. She invited her friend who was a whiney little cunt about it, complete with CRYING. Marissa doesn’t make Juliet “feel bad” Juliet makes Juliet “feel bad”
I can’t comprehend how anyone could watch the show and think Marissa did a thing wrong.
As someone whose bday apparently is the day after Juliets (and Erica agree with your cousin..it sucked as a kid..and kinda still as a adult) I understand her wanting it..as well as Thanksgivung to be special. That said….1. I would never have said anything about it (which is a separate my childhood was a lot like Bethenny’s upbringing discussion) and 2. I would be THRILLED that someone (ie Marissa) would acknowledge my bday and want to do something special for me.
I thought Juliet was just pissy about the whole thing. I wonder if the whole thing was less about the holiday/bday and more about that her husband is traveling so much she felt alone and ungrounded and just latched on to this to make herself feel better. Or…of course there’s always the option of storyline.
Wow, I had a totally different take on it. Marissa has a track record of celebrating Thanksgiving in London with friends for the last 5 years. I think Juliet was acting like a spoiled, whiney bitch. I understand that the show needs a story line and some conflict but the fact that she called Marissa manipulative then went behind her back and talked Caroline into throwing a another Thanksgiving party-what is she 13? If she didn’t want to go to the party, don’t go! Don’t put other people in the middle and force them to choose. #middleschool.
I didn’t like Juliet last year – in particular, the time she wouldn’t eat around the Venison at the Earl of Sandwich Estate because it was like eating, “Bambi” . She said if she didn’t speak up about her dislike of the meal, then she wouldn’t be true to herself? What an asshat. My son has known since he was 5 how to handle that situation with grace.
I have to say? I am on Juliet’s side here. I have never lived abroad byt ny dad was born/raised in County Kerry, Ireand…..we spent ONE Thanksgiving there and well, it stunk.
Thanksgiving is about the smells ( I mean really….do not not all (for the most part) smell the turkey/stuffing in the oven? I think Thanksgiving is that FOOD holiday that is so delicious……
I say quit the fussing…..go have your own Thanksgiving but no one should be forced to participate in anothers holiday dinner….I do think the Thanksgiving dinner drama was producer driven.
Yes, I’m sure the catered affair in the sterile mansion that Caroline lives in will be a much better Thanksgiving cooked by an American mother who has been doing it for years. Juliet’s children will probably be shuttled to the far wing with extra nannies to keep them away from Caroline and Juliet who will probably be eating gluten free turkey sandwiches on bone china with lovely cutlery.
Meanwhile, the normal people will be having fun with their families at Bumpkin. I want Juliet to each with Caroline, she’d be a total wet blanket at the real Thanksgiving celebration.
Thanks for the recap, TT. Happy the show it back! Juliet needs to get a pixie bob and shut her big ugly mouth. Annabelle looks beautiful as always. It’s great to see her healing. So happy Caprice is gone, blech. I love Caroline even if she’s being kind of mean about Marissa. She makes me laugh. Marissa does seem a lot more confident than she was last year. Julia (the Lady) is a lot of fun, but she seems tightly wound. I wonder why she has to live in a tiny house with no nanny, etc. Juliet’s whole Thanksgiving can’t be at a restaurant is a crock of shit. A couple of years ago, a local small restaurant put on a special Thanksgiving dinner. You could come in and get it all and take it home or eat there. I opted for the dinner at the restaurant. It was wonderful and then nothing to clean up when we got home!! Juliet should take the kids and fly home for the week–and cut off that hideous hair!
A few years ago, our family of three started eating out at restaurants or traveling the week of the holiday -we love it. This year we’re going to Spain. The food is not always as good as at home but it’s low key, no stress, no clean-up and no family drama.
TT – after an incredibly difficult day that I did not expect, this post makes me dance the happy dance!!!
YOU AND I AGREE 100%!!! I don’t remember much about last season either. I figured that Annabelle’s accident was so bad that the camera people, if there, dropped everything including the cameras to go render 1st Aid. That is baaaaad.
Caroline is someone you love/hate… like Alexis on Dynasty, and a number of peeps on reality shows. (It is certain “death” if you are someone people hate/hate)
Juliet needs a kick to the arse.
I love Marissa…. her tradition of Thanksgiving in London has been hers for over 6 years, and I see nothing wrong with what we have learned so far. If your own Thanksgiving memories/birthday memories are different – so be it, but HOST IT YOUR GODDAMN SELF.
People would think my T-giving Day was weird… wonder what the Brits would think. We have Themed Thanksgivings… the host picks. We’ve had “Decade Thanksgiving” – pick your favorite decade, dress like it and prepare a dish from that decade. We’ve had favorite alma mater (elementary to collegiate, your choice), The other two, since we’ve started, were Luau and Cowboy. Totally fun and goofy. I suspect in this crowd I wouldn’t get anyone but Marissa’s kids on board (I WANT THOSE HATS!)
If anyone here *hates* Caroline – let me know so I can block you. Ty.
P.s. drinking heavily, so this may not be attributed to you.
Pz.s.s. some of my comments dissappear to the ether. The freedom to say whatever I want isbso empowering!
Do you also stomp your little foot when someone disagrees with you?
Love Caroline S. She is the real deal, inherited rich, proper socialite with the bad girl past, knows and mixes with royals, and now is living that life. Ins she snarky…yep. Is she a snob, yep. That is who she really is which I appreciate.
I didn’t watch this show last season because I didn’t think I woiuld like it. After watching some reruns and the first show of Season 2, I am in the “trying to remember who is who and their names” stage.
Juliet does seem to try to be ill-mannered. If she insists on Thanksgiving at home, then she should have it at her house and celebrate her BD they way she wants. She can’t cook which is not anyone’s fault but her own. She should hire a chef. Insisting everyone else change their plans to accommodate her tearful needs. Not cute.
It seems Marissa went to a lot of trouble to include Juliet’s BD in her TG plans and tried to make it special for her. Juliet is rude and ungrateful and she does remind me of Odd Mom Out.
I spied those tea cups, too, TT. Weren’t they fabulous?
Thank you, TT, for saying that Juliet needs to learn to cook!! I totally agree! Juliet annoyed the heck out of me last season as well.
She seems to be one of those people who pride themselves on telling it like it is. That’s selfishness, not honesty, because she’s putting her “need to be me” above other people’s feelings.
Juliet can’t tell it like it is. She’s not articulate enough.
TT, you haven’t lived until you’ve had a good spotted dick with lashings of warm Birds custard, it’s to die for….lol, and the reason our teacups are so small is because we always make a pot of tea, never a solitary cup, that would be sacrilegious.
Spotted dick with warm Bird’s custard? Why does British “cuisine” have to sound so disgusting? Maybe because it is.
I’m happy with all of the returnees except Annabelle – not to be insensitive to her serious accident, but she brings NOTHING to this show and is a bore. Jury is still out for me on the two newbies (counting Julie, who hasn’t really proven herself to me yet). I’m really glad this show is back, though – it brings flavor and spices to the table that the Real Housewife franchises can’t.
Yeah – She seems bored, to be on the show.
Annabelle doesn’t try to impress, because she is the poshest one of them all. She is an aristo with A-List society, art and equestrian connections. On top of that, her ex was the Rothschild of Rothschilds. I wish they showcased more of what makes her tick.
I agree wholeheartedly, Hawkmoon947.
I really like Annabelle. She doesn’t act on impulse. She is thoughtful and chooses her words carefully. I have mad respect for people like that.
I also think she has a giant heart under that somewhat guarded exterior.
All I get from her is McQueen, McQueen, McQueen, McQueen, McQueen, Horse; rinse, repeat. Needs more personality to be on this show, imo. (Glad you and others enjoy what she brings, though.)
I’d like to see more of Annabelle, too. She is so incredibly composed and was the voice of reason at the store.
Good grief someone shake some sense into Juliet! She reminds me of Stassi with the “it’s my birthday” whine!
About their hair, maybe they’ve all been using a “cleansing conditioner”. That’s the look my rather fine hair had when I tried it.
I did not watch a lot of this show last season….so I binge watched it this past weekend. I will not miss Caprice or Noel…two less whinny Americans. I love that Anabelle always has a Vogue/Rocker Chic vibe….yet her home looks like Granny’s cozy sitting room. Juliet is lacking anything close to manners. The new Carolina just got a huge James Bond infused divorce settlement on top of her title, so she should be fun. Julie, her husband and kids are simply lovely and the same for Marissa and her little family. I really did like Caroline S. a lot until I saw that her business went into the toilet and it seems like she left her employees high and dry while she went on holiday.
Yeah, read that Caroline S. was taking vacation selfies while her company was circling the drain.
Yes, Caroline S’s Gift Library or whatever went down the tubes three months after this was filmed. I’m not sure if they were still filming in mid February while she was in the French Alps taking selfies while her employees were left with no job to go to.
Woah! That’s some interesting tea. I would love to hear the back story on that!
what do you mean the “new” caroline just got a big divorce settlement? you mean julie montagu? she was married prior? I’m confused lol
Oh nevermind, I see you meant Caroline F. I clearly need more sleep lol
@Shae~ I also typed “Carolina” instead of “Caroline” by mistake. I live in North Carolina and it was a case of my fingers working faster than my brain. 🙂
Adults like Juliet who expect the world to cater to them just because it’s their birthday annoy the crap out of me. Whenever I hear an ADULT whine, “….but it’s my birthday!”, I want to throat punch them.
@Urethra Franklin~ I completely agree! Even more annoying are friends who proclaim that it is their “birthday month!”
Real adults do not act like Juliet. 😉 Those who put up with her behavior either are not adults themselves, or have a sinister streak and keep Juliet around to ruin other peoples events; which in turn makes the sinister person very happy and in control. Just my perception.
Please allow me to throat punch her after you’re finished. Juliet was a totally selfish embarrassment not just to Americans in England but she’d be rude by Chicago all U.S. standards too. How rude she was! Totally unacceptable. I don’t give a flying poop if it’s her birthday or whatever, she missed the whole point of giving Thanks on that day. Her rudeness was more of the same BS she pulled last year. I don’t understand how one woman can have such atrocious taste in clothes. Everything she wears is revolting. Marissa said she didn’t understand what Juliet saw in Caroline, I DO, but I DON’T understand what Caroline wants from Juliet in a friendship. Perhaps its because no matter what she looks good next to that classless twit. In the U.S. Juliet has to tell us she’s “well off” but in the UK she’s not? BULL. She beat the hell out of a dead horse at Caroline’s cocktail party and raised her voice like the boor she is causing a scene and insulting Marissa with no valid reason. Very un-English.
I love Caroline as I did last year, stiff upper lip and all that rot. I guarantee the time she spends with her children is precious and they adore her. I like her gorgeous cousin so far. I like Julie and did last year, a woman who “gets it” and tries to do assimilation right. I like Annabelle and her noblesse oblige. My jury was out on Marissa last year and remains out. So far this year I only detest Juliet.
Love Julie. Juliet and Caroline are so jerky in this episode. Annabelle is great because she is who she is whether the other gals like her or not. Love that! Marissa was totally right in this Thanksgiving thing. If Juliet and Caroline hate the restaurant idea….don’t go! So simple. Juliet almost crying is stupid. Not sure about Sophie. And….I’m glad caprice isn’t back this year. Her voice was soooooooo slllllllooooooowwwww.
I’m also so glad Caprice isn’t back. She was annoying and pretentious.
Agreed, she was revoltingly pretentious and her cosmetically altered lips and nose really annoyed me. Her selfishness was too much. Apparently she ‘s the only woman on earth to have ever given birth. And she got a surrogate baby at same time. She shrewdly covered all her propagation bases. I knew she wouldn’t be back from the last episode, I forget why. (Was she staying in the U.S. to get her mother’s help with the newborns?) I’m also glad Noelle isn’t returning as she appeared only to be another American social climber (nose up Caprice’s arse) whose formerly wealthy, then destitute, tycoon boyfriend tragically died by suicide or Russian mob. Caprice and Noelle made Americans appear more avaricious, cold and calculating than usual.
I love Caroline! She is who she is and has no pretense for being honest about her life. I also love the addition of Julie. She is funny and goofy and although titled and all that, is real about her life. The whole Thanksgiving thing was ridiculous. I lived in London and some of the expats would do stuff and yes, it is weird not being home, but I would not have had a meltdown over changing my long standing party nor “giving up” a “home” type deal. Juliet is stirring…seriously you say it’s about home and do it at your friends?? Let it go one bloody year! Um, no, just a drama plot line.
Juliet’s even more whiney and insecure since she had to move from Chelsea to Clapham.
And like many posters here, I have little respect for entitled adults who think living another year is a mind-blowing accomplishment that mandates fawning and feting from their friends and family.
Dear god Juliet is such a bring down. What is it with her and major American holidays – last year she pitched a bitch about July 4. Glad to see Annabelle and Marisa, who are my favorites and that Julie got an upgrade.
Very glad this show is back. The only two people I couldn’t stand last season were Caprice (rude airhead) and Juliet (whiny, entitled, uncouth brat). Seems Juliet is still behaving the same way, I just don’t understand where she gets off making such demands, being so rude and bullying everyone. She has no social graces whatsoever. Way too much for me.
Caroline can be snobby but she owns it, it fits her schtick and I don’t find her malicious or boring, it’s entertaining. The rest of the ladies I enjoy.
Really glad Caprice is gone, she was beyond insufferable right along with Juliet.
I just have no idea how you could be invited to a thanksgiving dinner, or any dinner, planned and hosted by a friend (a huge undertaking) and complain about the setting/locale of said dinner. Especially when they’ve taken extra care to include your birthday into the mix. You’re a goddamn guest, you don’t get to whine and complain about the event you’ve been invited to. Go or don’t go, be polite.
Juliet was raised in a barn, clearly.
Can’t take my eyes off that green and white dress. The top looks like leaderhozen ( thank you Curious George ) and the bottom a Rorschach test. If you stare too long you’ll see Elvis.
Is it wrong that I want someone to slap Juliet?
I just slapped her on Twitter if that helps. She doesn’t find my blog, factual. I can’t imagine why she would be expecting anything less based on her boorish behavior. My facts are fine, it’s my opinions she is not particularly fond of.
Wait you actually like these people??? Sigh, this country really is going to shit.
