Remember this post by my buddy Jacques about the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season? You guys LOVED him and I am begged him to do a similar post for RHOA. He said yes! But he wants to wait until after the reunion.
In the mean time, you can quench your thrist for all this Jacques with this new post with all the breaking news directly from down under on the Real Housewives of Melbourne.
Someone is NOT returning for the next season, actually TWO someones… and Jacques has an exclusive scoop on who is going and who might be coming in an EXCLUSIVE story about this MAJOR cast shakeup.
I will not spoil a word, but shall send you directly to Jacques’ post for Daily Mail Australia!
NO CHYKA???? No!! I love her!
At least their 1980s fashion is moving into the 1990s now.
Love me some Gina!
This is interesting because it has been reported that there are dramatics on Hells Kitchen Australia between Pettifleur and David Oldfield, the husband of RH of Sydney’s Lisa Oldfield. RHoS is currently airing in its first season here. There is a lot of crossover with Melbourne. But the most interesting thing is the famewhorery of the Oldfields. I have been doing some digging on the couple and the stories become more and more bizarre. They include, but are not limited to: Lisa uploading a video where she offers her pre school age son ‘a drink or a joint’ because he is upset on an outing, same son reportedly almost snatched by a stranger on a recent walk near their home, a gutted cat thrown over their fence, Lisa’s dog needing vet attention over Christmas due to swallowing a dozen condoms, Lisa caught in a rip and rescued by an obese man towing an inflatable swan, Lisa fat shaming a passenger on an airplane after she took a sleeping pill and stripped down to underwear on the flight. There is so much more than this. I really hope Melbourne are more careful with their cast, because it’s beginning to look as though the Oldfields have set out to undermine and ridicule RHOS. It’s a shame Suzy wont be back, only because Mick Molloy the comedian would have been a refreshing addition to the house husbands. Suzy on her own though? Very snoozy. I won’t miss Pettifleur, but I’d prefer that the racist Lydia had been axed. The fact that she hasn’t concerns me a lot because it sends a message that there are no consequences for her behavior. Please take a look at Sydney, I’m dying for a forum to discuss my suspicions regarding the Oldfields and the cast in general.
I think Lisa’s marriage troubles storyline is completely fake. She’s just bizarre and she’s horrible to her children.
Good riddance to Pettifleur and Susie. Petti is doing other reality shows? Is she popular in Australia? She’s awful.
I wouldn’t imagine so, she’s pretty offensive & delusional She’s not in the press a lot like Gamble, Janet & Chyka – that says something
I also nabbed an exclusive with Susie today talking about parting ways with the show. She’s working on a homemaker brand. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-4459724/Susie-McLean-parts-ways-Real-Housewives-Melbourne.html
I didn’t see THAT coming, Susie!!! I guess the Toorak edition of the CWA cookbook wasn’t going to cut it. She’s got some stiff competition in Chyka, who has a very slick social media empire connected with her business and already covering the whole international luxury lifestyle apparel and comestibles sector. I suppose there’s always room for one more?
@Jacques: Great article. I enjoyed it a lot.

My understanding at the moment is RHOM is on hiatus – Season 2 of Sydney has been announced & they will not make both in one year as it is not financially viable – I wonder whose production team will get there first?
Seriously?! I hope this is incorrect. I hoped that the next Melbourne season was going to be delivered in the next couple of months. But given how timid, unoriginal and risk averse Australian television, it wouldn’t surprise me. Sydney filmed their reunion a month ago, what are they waiting for? Honestly, how can it not be ‘financially viable’? Yet they can run endless soaps and quiz shows hosted by Eddie McGuire. If they made Eddie a housewife, they’d be doing 2 seasons a year of Melbourne. He appeared in a scene with Chyka last season, so he’s probably considering it. OR make Eddie one of those EPs like Whitney’s become on Southern Charm. It’d be made then.
Please no more Eddie! I agree with you in terms of crap television on free to air, which I never watch, but I’ll also state that the Housewives are also crap – but cable crap that I obviously watch & enjoy.
Of course its not financially viable here in Oz- in a population of 24.6 million people only 1.65 million have Foxtel – our only cable TV with about 30% of the pop subscribed to Netflix/Stan and 2 Government funded channels & only 3 free to air Channels with 10 looking to go bankrupt of course they program cheap Game shows etc & these rate more highly than RH as they are on free to air.
So only 1 Housewives franchise at a time and they don’t rate wonderfully anyway in the scheme of things, but they are cheap to produce & help Foxtel reach the homemade quota requirement. I’d rather see more well made drama from Foxtel than more Eddie doing anything. RHO Sydney is car crash television & I agree the Oldfield’s are dodgy as hell & Athena X Batshit crazy in an entertaining way.
Glad Pettifleur is gone & won’t be watching her Hell’s kitchen. Real socialites (not that they are all that) won’t waste their breath on these shows, which is why we get the Pettifleurs of this world.
Thanks for the link. I will not miss that over caffeinated chihuahua at all. Is there a way to watch Sydney here in the States?
Is it just my computer or is that gif only moving on the right side and Manuela is stuck in one pose?
Yes, that photo is strange.
I’ll miss Chyka but *finally* no more Pettifleur and her incessant yapping!
Pettifleur will not be missed. She is totally delusional about her intelligence and “beauty.” I forgot how obnoxious she is. It must be her real personality and not just her show persona because her sister had cut off contact and her son ran for the hills. SMDH
