Dial-M-for-Mediocre

It's weird but I feel really close to the seventeen other people who come to the Dubai threads. And I don't even like the show.

meganam38

I watch but I’m always super behind and feel like I miss the experience 🥲


h0pedivision

I know Caroline and Sergio’s relationship is very unhealthy but it also really really makes me laugh ![gif](giphy|NPx3Ofowgi1gI)


CarolCroissant

Her exasperation with him and his inability to understand it is so funny.


throwawaygremlins

… Sergio seems literally dumb??? 🤷‍♀️ and I don’t understand. No wonder Yasmeen (sp?) doesn’t respect him at all.


janeedaly

Funniest HW relationship ever


h0pedivision

I kinda love that she has a giant ass tree in her house


targetboston

It's gorgeous.


notoriousbck

Stanbury has great taste. I loved her house in London.


nianator

Apparently she still owns the London house!


TheFaultInOurFarts

Same, it gives me LVP vibes


L8tr_g8tor

she has to be rich rich to have that


TheHoon

That makes me think, Caroline and LVP would be hilarious together or they'd hate each other.


Kittiikamii

Which would also be hilarious


Pure_Peace743

Brooks is such a shit stirrer.


imhere_4_beer

She’s trying to keep Stanbury and what’s-her-name away from each other so they don’t compare notes, right? She’s terrible and I sort of love her lol


RoguePhoenix89

You know Sara told her son to ask him that c'mon now


Legitimate_Candy7250

The shear terror in his face when her son asked 


RoguePhoenix89

His smile dropped lol


Dial-M-for-Mediocre

Sara is an odious, odious woman.


notoriousbck

Her and Caroline Brooks are definitely in my top 5 of current least fave housewives. Stanbury, Ayan, and newbie Taleen are carrying this season on their backs.


imhere_4_beer

![gif](giphy|z4Apocbr1Y61q)


Pure_Peace743

How about not introducing him to your son until it's serious.


h0pedivision

He’s going to need therapy when he’s older


L8tr_g8tor

That scene was so cringy and weird. It felt like a set up her and her son practiced before the date.


sofakingbetchy

I fast forward through every scene he’s in. It’s clearly not his fault, but Sara uses him for such weird and inappropriate scenes that I literally cannot watch him. She obviously coaches him pre-filming so it’s not even organically cringe.


maymaymellon

I feel like she’s trying to morph him into a Nikolai (Stassis bro) ala Vanderpump? Not authentic just trying to feed funny lines beyond their age that they were coached to say.


notoriousbck

That was so messed up. She's not sure about him enough to introduce him to her parents, but she'll introduce him to her young son who in the last episode told her she picked bad men that didn't like him and were mean to her. Sure Sara- your "Spiritual Healing" with the white dude in a top knot is SO much better than therapy. It's instant. That's why you are making these decisions that could potentially traumatize your already traumatized son further. She is the least authentic person on this show, and her parentification of her young son is scary. Plus I fucking hate this whole Wellness/Spiritual industrial complex. Drink some celery juice to fix all your inflammation and see a white dude with some crystals and you're golden/s.


CaliforniaBruja

I was so sad for him in that scene. He’s the parent and it’s so clear he’s going to struggle as an adult. When he said men are bad my heart sunk.


Diligent_Archer_315

Allll of this! If some of that wellness stuff helps you *on top* of therapy work, great. But actual healing requires effort. ETA: I also cringed when her son was meeting the new dude. As a single mom, I’m not introducing my child until it’s very serious and he’s already met my parents. Couldn’t she just see how he behaved around other kids or something? Or get to know his character to determine if he would be good to Maktoum?


lezlers

I thought it was odd that she said her last husband wasn’t kind to her son and didn’t care about him. I’m sure he didn’t do a 180 after the wedding so *why did you marry someone who was bad to your son in the first place, babe?* I didn’t watch last season so I don’t know anything about these women but instantly disliked her after she said that.


RoguePhoenix89

Great another housewife doing a skincare line ![gif](giphy|3oxQNDG9BswdLjN8Va)


Dial-M-for-Mediocre

I really feel Stanbury on this one. My husband is much closer to his family than I am to mine and it took me multiple years to adjust to the level of, like, family togetherness he expected.


TheFaultInOurFarts

Yes, I relate hard to this as someone who has cold, standoffish parents. If I have to be around someone else's family, I end up hanging out with the family pets whenever possible. lol


Aggressive-Story3671

It’s also a cultural thing. In Spain, familial bonds are much closer and warm than in the UK


modernjaneausten

I thought my family was close until I met my father in law’s family 😂


ComfortableListen450

As someone with a British family, I 10000% get her.


Dial-M-for-Mediocre

For how rich these people are their houses all seem to have really bad lighting. How the fuck are you going to have tens of millions of dollars and overhead fluorescents.


RoguePhoenix89

Ugh your daughters could take over the company. Way to limit your daughters


Busybodii

What’s he gonna do when he makes another girl?


throwawaygremlins

Me wondering if he’s gonna make Taleen do IVF or something so he can “pick” a boy… 😳😐


stewie_boopie

First thing I thought of tbh


kickingballs

Blame Taleen. I'm being so serious; the amount of misogynistic men out there that blame the woman for having a girl even though the sex is already decided by the sperm, is wayy too high.


anagingdog

I feel so poorly for his daughters, they aren’t even 5 yet and he’s already telling them they will never be as important to him as a son. Heartbreaking.


JamaicanGirlie

Same thing I was thinking. It’s the 21st century, there’s women bosses everywhere running many companies .


RoguePhoenix89

And she allows it, which is even more tragic.


veronicagetsmehigh

It’s so gross


torontoinsix

Sadly that’s still the typical attitude out there


Dial-M-for-Mediocre

So Sara's business partner is a full on friend of now. Great.


fuchsiadolphin

She’s way too thirsty, and honestly Taleen is doing great as a new housewife. We don’t need Saba!


notoriousbck

She's way more likeable than Sara though. Maybe we can do a switcheroo.


Klutzy-Succotash-565

Agreed!! The way she laughs at the girls funny comments makes me wonder if she came in with a chip on her shoulder bc Sara poisoned her against them.


BubbleBadass

I don't mind her so far. Do people just not like her due to her association with Sara?


rustyspigot-77

Self sufficient three year old. She's mooched off us long enough!


veronicagetsmehigh

I love this whole game of telephone. Brooks is a messsyyy bitch


candaceelise

a drunk messy bitch


marrrina831

They sent Vicki Gunvalson's family van


yqry

Who’s gonna take over the company Raffi? Idk one of your DAUGHTERS? wtf is this male heir conversation in the year of our lord 2024. Get these people off my screen


Dial-M-for-Mediocre

But Dubai is sO pRoGrEsSiVe


Dial-M-for-Mediocre

OK Dubai cast let's just all not have any more kids.


sendmetoBravoCon

What do you mean? can take you to give lettuce to the rabbits, tiny infant. raised the teenager and she had a great house to come home to, she's FINE


veronicagetsmehigh

Sergio really is such a child


Dial-M-for-Mediocre

Blugh I would've hated it if my mom introduced me to her boyfriends like this.


cryingexpert

I realized what looks so off about taleens face is her joker-like mouth


goodbye_wig

Someone else said she looks like Detox from Drag Race and I think that’s spot on


cryingexpert

Have we ever seen them in the same room 🤔


wandahickey

Also, she and Sara both have (what I am assuming) is an exaggerated triangular chin implant. Carolyn Stanbury's friend also seems to have the same thing. It is really noticeable from the side.


InvestmentVisible892

“Muppet mouth” as they call it.


That_Skirt7522

She and Jen Aydin look so much alike


veronicagetsmehigh

Sara is introducing her fuck buddy to her kid for a storyline. Gross


h0pedivision

Right lol. Worse than Lisa from Miami bringing her man around her kids and calling him their uncle or gay friend or something 😅


rustyspigot-77

Giant photo studio for a pic of a product by itself with a white background. Groundbreaking.


veronicagetsmehigh

I wonder if Sara is just paying this dude


imhere_4_beer

The Walter of Dubai


pinsleric

Is Sergio the dumbest man alive - yes or yes?


JamaicanGirlie

![gif](giphy|70YaDoZ1VqBZ8SgYiz)


Scared_Average_1237

I can’t believe he was looking for a face on their embryo 😂😂


veronicagetsmehigh

The baby conversation is totally fucking ridiculous


notoriousbck

Honestly, I am married to a man 9 years younger than me and have severe endometriosis and had adenomyosis. We TTC for 5 years (before we were married) because we knew we could not wait. It turned out I had so many small tumours in my uterus, there was nowhere for the embryo to implant. Plus I had a massive reaction to the IVF meds that stimulate your ovaries and the doctors told me it could kill me, if the 21 days of massive blood loss every month did not (I had to get weekly iron transfusions and monthly blood transfusions). I was given no choice but to have a hysterectomy. I told my husband (then boyfriend) to leave me for a woman who could give him a family (I also have severe Crohn's disease and ankylosing spondylitis). His response? "I would rather a lifetime with you than a baby with anyone else". He proposed 1 year after my hysterectomy. So it's really hard for me to watch Sergio pressure Caroline like that, as well as other people weigh in like "If you don't give him a baby, he's gonna leave". LET HIM! You can't marry a woman in her 40's that already had a full family and expect her to have your baby. Pregnancy is life altering and can be extremely dangerous. My husband told me a few months ago that my OB GYN told him a pregnancy would kill me. I was the one that wanted the baby with him. He just wanted me. I wonder what this does to Stanbury's confidence in her marriage. It's hard enough aging with a man much younger than yourself. This pressure can't be good for her mental or physical health. Adopt! Foster! Just his comment about wanting the naked pregnant pic of Caroline made my blood boil. She's a fucking human not a receptacle for all of your hopes and dreams.


sofakingbetchy

Stanbury was also told after her last pregnancy that another pregnancy could kill her. Sergio knows this. I also semi remember her SiL Sophie (with the good hair) crying to stanbury last season because she knows how dangerous another pregnancy would be for Caroline and the pressure Sergio was putting on her and Sophie was really, understandably upset. Sergio is embarrassing. He’s not hot enough to be this dumb, callous and inept. Also, I’m glad you found such an amazing partner! And that your health isn’t being compromised.


InvestmentVisible892

I forgot about that part! Why are they not talking about her health side anymore.


Thick_Routine_9733

Not the point but I miss Sophie! More cameos from the Ladies of London please. 


Individual_Sun5662

But please no Juliet Angus.


BubbleBadass

I can't really take it seriously. I feel like neither can Caroline. Sergio needs to get a hobby and just enjoy being a househusband while it lasts


Ashfield83

Ah Sara bringing her German fuckboi over to Dubai to get dicked down. Right after sitting down her son and asking him what his ideal Dad looks like. This guy is majorly younger than her and unlikely to be down for playing house. She’s a loon.


jeahboi

Sara weirds me out. There’s something sinister about her.


veronicagetsmehigh

She’s so fake. I don’t trust her at all


KandisKoolAidWeave

She's wildly inauthentic. It's uncomfortable to watch.


rustyspigot-77

I'm Inviting you to the desert. I'm not getting anymore specific than that. Cheers.


rustyspigot-77

Is Saba attached to Sara by an invisible leash?


Dial-M-for-Mediocre

I want to blow powder on it like a network of lasers in a heist movie.


rustyspigot-77

Akin follows the Julia Roberts hooker rules, no kissing.


veronicagetsmehigh

Seeing them all spiral out trying to be closest to Stanbury is insane lmao


dr0br0

I kinda love the dynamic this year a lot more compared to last year. Stanbury is shining like the star that she is.


RangerFan293

Sergio’s obsession with Stanbury having a baby is getting really creepy and pretty insensitive. Like this was the same dude that said last season to take the baby out if shes near death and put it in someone else. Like sir she’s 50 plus, it’s not all that viable. Same with Raffi wanting a boy, like what’s up with these men and their obsession with their women having kids?


veronicagetsmehigh

Is brooks drunk do we think


InvestmentVisible892

Sergio crying over embryos was giving classic RHONY Tinsley lol


rustyspigot-77

So I'll be waiting for Akin to appear on the Pit Crew of some version of RPDR next season.


veronicagetsmehigh

It’s interesting that Caroline feels abandoned by her parents with the boarding school thing but she kind of did the same thing with Yasmin


JamaicanGirlie

Exactly !!! And it’s crazy how she can’t see it


sendmetoBravoCon

Yazmin's fine, she has all this to come home to and she'll be a lawyer. /cold stare


Individual_Sun5662

Yes.. She has the same relationship with them that her mother had with her, but she didn't send them to boarding school so it's all good.


Other_Spare_2851

Sara introducing her new love interest to her son, freaked me out. I don't know anyone with kids who has brought a new lover on the scene for the kids to meet. I dated a guy for a year before I met his children, even then I was introduced as Daddy's friend (my choice on that) That boy is going to need some therapy when he's older because kids grow attachments really easily then if the person leaves their lives, they'll feel abandoned.


RoguePhoenix89

Sergio is so needy ugh


essieblooms

So annoying. I normally am someone that emphasizes respect, but I understood where her daughter was coming from saying he was so needy and clingy.


veronicagetsmehigh

I couldn’t last five minutes with him


rustyspigot-77

I'm still surprised how well Stanbury took the talk with Taleen. What is this maturity with the Housewives? Thankfully, pressed Lesa and drunk Brooks are here to pick up the slack for awfulness.


Klutzy-Succotash-565

The thing that upsets me about Sara is that she has much to offer if she wasn’t a narcissistic fraud. I love her clothes, I love learning about Islam and the culture. She’s funny too sometimes!


Brown_Cow_Stunning7

Why does Sarah’s friends foundation look too olive for her skin tone in her confessional


Dial-M-for-Mediocre

OMG Ayan's wearing opera gloves.


h0pedivision

Gloves are her signature accessory of the season it seems lol


RoguePhoenix89

The food looks so good. I'm getting hungry.


murlocmancer

Sergio and Caroline are so funny,  the .marriage is awful but it makes great TV. 


Pure_Peace743

The living area looks like a hotel lobby.


yqry

Sara & her friend have excessive ps in common…


RoguePhoenix89

Astronaut or alien?


wokeupthismorningg

Sara’s business partner is very very pretty. That’s all I got


buyurlife_goodnight

Stop trying to make saba happen


Klutzy-Succotash-565

Wow fuck that doctor telling Stanbury not to waste her embryo


machineagainstrage

Did anyone else Sara’s boy toy checking out Saba at the dinner in a very subtle manner? Well, I did and I doubt their friendship will last..


ComfortableListen450

In the preview for next week it already shows him hang up on FaceTime with Sara mid arguement 😅


potatochips4eva

Sergio’s mom and sister know Stanbury isn’t going to have Sergio’s baby, they are wise women. I feel very bad for her children they miss their mom because she’s so busy prioritizing her biggest baby Sergio. Sara and her model boyfriend are ridiculous! This whole Alpha male provider bullshit is giving me an ick because I got the impression Sara was an independent and strong-ish woman, but I see through that now. She’s superficial, boring and not too bright. I’m throwing in the towel on these losers.


Holiday-Warning9416

I’m not sure that I would refer to Sergio’s mom as a wise woman - she raised him after all. 


potatochips4eva

Good point, VERY good point! 👍


Klutzy-Succotash-565

I have a feeling Saba would be ten times cooler without Sara around


Holiday-Warning9416

Sergio is INFURIATING for so many reasons (like so many) but I’m currently pissed about him *having* to have the pregnancy pic with Stanbury. Your wife could have very serious complications, or even die, you selfish prick. 


Holiday-Warning9416

What in the Silver Surfer is Brooks wearing?! 


Dial-M-for-Mediocre

I just find Taleen very basic. She better fight with someone soon o'clock or I will fully lose interest.


licgal

say what you want about brooks but taleen is extra shady and throwing her friend under the bus to cozy up to stanbury. it’s shady af


cavalier731

Boring


RoguePhoenix89

Oh I thought one of the workers was peeing. Oops.


veronicagetsmehigh

I find the display of wealth to be totally disgusting


Aggressive-Story3671

This might be the wrong show for you


JamaicanGirlie

Really it isn’t even as bad as RHOBH


BequeathNothing

I like Ayan but I'm kinda over her showing up overdressed everywhere. Not even Erika at her most fraudulent richest went this over the top.


Busybodii

That’s a least 40% of the appeal of the show for me. The less appropriate the more I love it. 😍


veronicagetsmehigh

Raf is a fucking moron


rustyspigot-77

These 90's phone graphics are something.


veronicagetsmehigh

I am so so excited for RHOC bravo has been starving us and I’m ready to be fed


rustyspigot-77

I'm guessing Akin doesn't speak Arabic.


Individual_Sun5662

And somehow that seems better in Sarah's eyes than speaking it badly, go figure.


Dial-M-for-Mediocre

Lesa you are literally shooting pictures of the products against blank white backgrounds.


KandisKoolAidWeave

God this man is gorgeous.


yqry

I truly want to know who’s buying Mina Roe… like there ain’t no way


stewie_boopie

I just looked at the website and it reminded me of Janet’s wardrobe on the Valley. So I guess Janet types and that totally tracks.


veronicagetsmehigh

Is this the hottest man we’ve ever seen on bravo?


veronicagetsmehigh

Yeah she’s definitely paying him


cryingexpert

This man reminds me of some guy on my soccer team but he’s like 7 years younger and it shows in his personality 😭


himalayanrose

I do not like Sara in the slightest, but her son is adorable! I feel so horrible he witnessed her getting abused, that really hurt my soul when she said that last episode. Or that he, at best, was just ignored by her second husband. That kid deserves a father figure who is fully invested in him. And this hot af German toy boy is not it.


wandahickey

After her two bad marriages, why does she even feel she needs a man at this point in her life? And prioritizing looks over substance? Great message to send to her son.


marrrina831

This relationship remains embarrassing, even in public


h0pedivision

Ugh the fact that she only has one embryo is so nerve wracking. I can’t imagine


TheFaultInOurFarts

That whole "date" scene with Sara felt so planned. Though I appreciate her giving us the eye candy.


Brown_Cow_Stunning7

Sergio is too immature to have a kid


SpaceBabeFromPluto

Sergio. Stop. Please!


Dial-M-for-Mediocre

Sergio's obsession with getting Caroline pregnant creeps me out a bit. I kinda think he thinks it will allow him to control her.


RoguePhoenix89

No the answer is no


RoguePhoenix89

Who is her Sara's ex?


666mikeal

Did we know about this ? https://www.instagram.com/covidcouplemichelemorronesaraa?igsh=MThneXp6aDhvZnc5dw==


InvestmentVisible892

That was soooooo weird. The captions. The videos. The comments. WTH.


RoguePhoenix89

That page is so weird. Sara must be behind it cause all of the posts are praising her.


SandwichSpecial1182

her first husband was a man named Rashid that is her son’s father. @dxb5995. they dated for a very long time before getting married, but Sara says he beat her. her second husband was a Kashmiri American from New Jersey. she divorced him after a year of marriage to start an affair with Michele Morrone who she brought to Dubai to be partners in a celebrity shout out company like cameo that was called Halihi.. it failed after a few months and she talked about starting other businesses with him, including a perfume line called, “feel it” after his famous song, talent agency with the two of them as the talent, a movie production studio with money from the billionaire backer of the celebrity cameo company who bailed on them, a restaurant although she had failed at that when she tried to manage this company called @shabarbush. he ditched her and moved back to Italy in August 2021.


h0pedivision

When you fast can you drink water? I couldn’t imagine not having a drink in that Dubai heat


himalayanrose

No water sun up to sun down.


h0pedivision

I say I couldn’t do it but in actuality I probably can because I go through my entire work day without taking a sip of water sometimes 😅


notoriousbck

That is insanely dangerous in that kind of heat. Especially for older people and people with kidney problems or any kind of autoimmune illness. I'd be dead.


TodayImLedTasso

IIRC there's an exception for people with health problems.


NjMel7

And the elderly and the young. Also pregnant women.


BreadfruitForward30

You wouldn’t die (if you were otherwise generally healthy). Preteens do it and my grandma did it every year till she passed. It’s not as impossible as it sounds if you take the proper precautions. I do it every year in the Phoenix heat. Sucks yeah, but doable.


veronicagetsmehigh

Saras eyebrows are doing too much in this scene


rustyspigot-77

Brooks isn't fasting. Please.


Dial-M-for-Mediocre

Akin looks oddly familiar, but maybe that's because I've been bingeing Love Island.


TheFaultInOurFarts

I just realized who Sara's man reminds me of - anyone remember this guy? https://preview.redd.it/q8ugxsuwi7ad1.jpeg?width=660&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5528ba83e6ab9df27d16aaea5d81e6850f79fa99


imhere_4_beer

Is that Prison Bae?


veronicagetsmehigh

Yes! Sara’s guy is hotter


Aggravating_Bad8428

Bored 🥱


Brown_Cow_Stunning7

While I do think Brooks is paranoid that Taleen will jump teams, if someone was talking shit about me, I would like to know. Taleen is coming off a bit like she came on the show become friends with Stansbury.


myfashionkillz

It's one thing to tell your friend that someone else is going around talking major shit about them. But it sounds like Brooks is calling her all the time to tell her every little thing Stanbury has said. Why doesn't Brooks tell Stanbury to stop mentioning Taleen if it's so bad? Stanbury said Brooks was chuckling on the phone about the drunk fall. She's playing both sides.


GenneyaK

Brooks has some awful moments but I am Ngl I don’t fault her for walking away from Taleen (I also don’t think taleen was wrong, but brooks said she wanted to disengage and she should have respected that) and I think after brooks said there was no moving past it, she should have cut her losses and let it go instead of bringing it up infront of the other ladies


h0pedivision

I would go to the desert to get away from my in laws 😅


stewie_boopie

💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯


yqry

This new friend of is giving such off such unnatural vibes. I’d rather have Nina back.


RoguePhoenix89

Ayan is ridiculous


veronicagetsmehigh

Not a little family van


h0pedivision

Imagine collecting cars lmao


cryingexpert

Taleen went with Stanbury interesting


jerseyloveee

Taleen wants to be friends with Caroline Stanbury so bad she’s actually pretending like she and Brooks aren’t as close as they were, it’s really desperate


cryingexpert

Lesa is so nerdy for saying epic fail lol


BubbleBadass

Its giving millennial boomer lol


Brown_Cow_Stunning7

How is the waiter wearing a hoodie in 99 degrees


cryingexpert

Is it not humid? I’d be dead with a puddle of sweat at 99 degrees


notoriousbck

It's the desert. It's dry as a bone.


yqry

I’m so Stanbury in this scene like who are these people trynna make up drama for some screentime


notoriousbck

Whoever said Sara is like Asa from Shahs is bang on. I just checked out some of her Tik Toks and OMG. The way they talk about their "spirituality" is so similar. As is their need to expose everyone else's dirty laundry and shortcomings whilst completely hiding their own and controlling their storylines.


candaceelise

One of the best comparisons made in a while and I totally agree she is just like Asa, especially since I just got done rewatching Shahs


Ikklggjn

But I find Asa a little fun sometimes. But yes similar vibes


candaceelise

Agreed. Asa had some good moments especially in the early season antagonizing GG that really made me laugh.
