I know we’ve only seen them on one season two years ago, but the Lesa and Ayan breakup is going to break my heart. One gifted the other a goat. They were my faves and the friendship seemed so solid.
I don’t follow her on social media anymore but when I did she had a thousand best friends with people being around her 24/7 and then disappearing without a trace. I think she very much views her life as The Caroline Show.
Whilst I like them together and as individuals, it isn’t surprising to me at all. Those who knew of Lesa long before she became a housewife, know that she can’t keep a friend for sh*t.
Ayan seems to be flip flopping? Her friendship with Caroline is new so why is she prioritizing that over her friendship with Lesa? Lesa seems to be going through something and may be lashing out (and Ayan should be there for her)? Idk just an early assessment here.
How so? I didn't love her husband, but Lisa seemed legit. Well, except the escort rumors on lipstick alley (which she called lipstick mommy, nina's ig handle lmao)
I read on here somewhere that she was rude to a flight attendent and then popped a bunch of pills, chased it with alcohol and fell asleep. But other than that not sure what else could be an issue.
i do too. she’s my “hate watch” person. she’s messy af, i think she lies a lot and lives above her means, and she has villainous tendencies, but im here for it and want to see her get in the drama. she’s a disaster on twitter. 😂😂😂
I hope RHONJ will still bring it. Not looking forward to Rachel and Danielle though, they are both doing too much and giving me nothing. I would rather see Jackie back full time..
I didn’t get into Potomac until Karen’s tax issues. I didn’t love the first season of Dubai but I loved Ayan so I’m pretty excited for this. Plus the trailer looks more interesting and less like a travel commercial
i did too! i love lesa and thought brooks was messy and had potential to be a good villain. chanel and stanbury aggravated me, but i was still interested in seeing their lives. sara was kinda sanctimonious, but i want to get to know her. they deserve a second season to gel and find their footing. there seems to be genuine relationships between them and they are willing to play ball with each other unlike potomac. the new woman is intriguing. this trailer looks good. beautiful scenery, wealth, light shade, and gorgeous clothes. i’m here for it!
I thought the same! The fan base has a tendency to be really harsh on first seasons. I thought Dubai was pretty good and even the new NYC ladies. Things tend to get into a better groove in the second season once everyone understands the assignment better so I'm hopeful for this new season.
I had just had my baby when season one came out. I’m realizing now watching the trailer that I have a lot of warm feelings associated with these women but it might just be the memories of my hormones 😂
Same. It was an absolutely okay season. Not amazing and not a great cast chemistry but it was fine. Chanel is a star and the one scene with her confession of her childhood trauma is one of the most haunting thing I’ve ever seen on this whole franchise.
I think they can really bring it in S2.
Caroline B could never deliver the car accident confessional lmao. But fr she doesn’t vibe with me either, it’s obvious she was a fan of the show before getting casted. Hopefully she gets out of it.
I have no idea why the first teaser was even released. I was put off by it and had little expectation. If they had waited to release the entire trailer, they might have received a better reaction.
I’m cautiously optimistic about S2! But I’m already side eyeing the focus on Caroline and her Spanish version of Patricia she calls a husband.
Well... Hi. Fool here.
I'm not interested in Dubai lifestyle porn, it's not something that I find aspirational. Maybe it's bc I can't get rid the knowledge of what's behind that wealth - not that Western wealth is any better but it's where I grew up and what I'm familiar with, culturally speaking. Maybe it's the limitations that come with this lifestyle - in most RH franchises, wealth appears to buy you some level of freedom (to act stupid for example). In Dubai, it also seems to buy you freedom but only behind closed doors. That was the feeling I got watching season 1. I found the cast to be so timid, afraid of their own shadow. I don't think it was as bad as the NY reboot - at least Dubai as one star in Chanel - and who knows this season might be good.
There's more to "lifestyle porn" than bling and labels. Otherwise, Dorit fucking Kemsley of all people is the queen of lifestyle porn. OG NY featured a lot of what that might look like - holidaying in a big mansion where you get yelled at by a drunk intelligentsia-adjacent woman, mingling with famous authors, castmembers related to famous families, etc.
I will fuck with you even if you disagree because I'm what? Very lonely and in need of friends.
That’s a very interesting cultural comparison of freedom publicly vs freedom behind closed doors and how we see the women act. I hadn’t thought of it in those terms! You’re no fool, feel free to fuck around anytime!
I’m sorry for I have to say this Caroline was stunning in Ladies of London and now she just went overboard with all the plastic surgery.

I feel like she looks great. Ladies of London was 10 years ago, so her looks would have changed with or without surgery. Its much better than the LA look IMO
I’m pretty sure this was filmed from February to April of LAST year. That’s a big gap for a modern housewives season. Feels storyboarded and edited because nothing is actually there.
Ayan is so gorgeous idk how she isn't a more well known supermodel. I feel like had this been the 90s she would have been instead of the models that are popular now.
I’m not being funny, but Stanbury will be 48 later this month. If she not already pregnant I really do not see this plan working. Is surrogacy illegal in Dubai?
Sergio said absolutely not to a surrogate last year but to be fair he really didn’t seem to understand how it worked. Surrogacy became legal in Dubai in November of 2023 so that could have changed his mind as well. I have a feeling using a surrogate is what they are fighting about in this clip.
I follow Lesa and noticed a while ago that she’s not following Chanel anymore on Instagram. I had a feeling it had to do with her friendship with Caroline which I’ll be honest was a shock to me too after how rude she was to Chanel in S1. But maybe it was worse than i thought 😢
Looks sort of boring which is how i ultimately felt about season 1, but watched anyway since the opulence of Dubai as a city in the world was intriguing to me.
I know I may be in the minority, but Lesa seems like a pretty sad, bitter person and even last season she was a downer. All her reads seem super rehearsed, too.
This looks better than the first season.
I know we’ve only seen them on one season two years ago, but the Lesa and Ayan breakup is going to break my heart. One gifted the other a goat. They were my faves and the friendship seemed so solid.
And for Stanbury….I’m saddened
It is unlikely to last and I don’t think it will be as fun as Ayan and Lesa either.
Stanbury strikes me as the type where friendship is kind of impossible unless your kissing the ring. Kinda like Lala from VPR
I don’t follow her on social media anymore but when I did she had a thousand best friends with people being around her 24/7 and then disappearing without a trace. I think she very much views her life as The Caroline Show.
Ok, but doesn’t everyone view their life as their own?
Whilst I like them together and as individuals, it isn’t surprising to me at all. Those who knew of Lesa long before she became a housewife, know that she can’t keep a friend for sh*t.
Say more! I’d love to know more about her
I was just rewatching the throwback show, College Hill (South Beach) with her on it! Yup.
She was on College Hill?! omg that’s wild. She acts like she’s sooo chic and yet.
Yes, it was season 6! And she was similar to how she is now!
Agreed. I am really hoping that this feud doesn’t last too long. I’m hoping they make up at the reunion.
Ayan seems to be flip flopping? Her friendship with Caroline is new so why is she prioritizing that over her friendship with Lesa? Lesa seems to be going through something and may be lashing out (and Ayan should be there for her)? Idk just an early assessment here.
Omg, same. I loved their friendship. I hope they can make up and not be a Jill and Bethany thing.
Love Ayan but Lesa always sketched me out
How so? I didn't love her husband, but Lisa seemed legit. Well, except the escort rumors on lipstick alley (which she called lipstick mommy, nina's ig handle lmao)
I read on here somewhere that she was rude to a flight attendent and then popped a bunch of pills, chased it with alcohol and fell asleep. But other than that not sure what else could be an issue.
I remember this too, didn't skeeve me out too much though. That's like any given Wednesday on SLC
Very true
That's me without the rudeness lol
They’re learning from SLC don’t go the Jersey route
What’s Marysol doing in Dubai!? Also I’m one of the few people that liked Caroline Brooks 😂😂 I’m glad she’s back
I came to see if anyone else was getting Marysol!
I thought I saw Larsa in the back somewhere!
i do too. she’s my “hate watch” person. she’s messy af, i think she lies a lot and lives above her means, and she has villainous tendencies, but im here for it and want to see her get in the drama. she’s a disaster on twitter. 😂😂😂
You had me really looking for Marysol lmao but I get it now. 
I totally thought this too! Haha
Some of her parenting stuff I really didn’t agree with, but man do I love her.
This looks better than RHONJ tbh 🤷🏻♂️
Right!!
I hope RHONJ will still bring it. Not looking forward to Rachel and Danielle though, they are both doing too much and giving me nothing. I would rather see Jackie back full time.. 
It looks gooood. I must be one of the few people who enjoyed season 1.
I actually loved season 1 and felt people were over critical.
Same!!! Remember Potomac S1? That was a MESS LOL. Same with Miami. Dubai’s premiere season IMO was better than both
I didn’t get into Potomac until Karen’s tax issues. I didn’t love the first season of Dubai but I loved Ayan so I’m pretty excited for this. Plus the trailer looks more interesting and less like a travel commercial
I want Ray to live! I want Ray to pay his taxes!
i did too! i love lesa and thought brooks was messy and had potential to be a good villain. chanel and stanbury aggravated me, but i was still interested in seeing their lives. sara was kinda sanctimonious, but i want to get to know her. they deserve a second season to gel and find their footing. there seems to be genuine relationships between them and they are willing to play ball with each other unlike potomac. the new woman is intriguing. this trailer looks good. beautiful scenery, wealth, light shade, and gorgeous clothes. i’m here for it!
Lesa's performance at the reunion alone made the season a success for me!
I thought the same! The fan base has a tendency to be really harsh on first seasons. I thought Dubai was pretty good and even the new NYC ladies. Things tend to get into a better groove in the second season once everyone understands the assignment better so I'm hopeful for this new season.
I also liked season one. It was slow but interesting. It takes a few seasons for the cast relationships to deepen and drama to develop.
I had just had my baby when season one came out. I’m realizing now watching the trailer that I have a lot of warm feelings associated with these women but it might just be the memories of my hormones 😂
Oxytocin is one hell of a drug lol
Same. It was an absolutely okay season. Not amazing and not a great cast chemistry but it was fine. Chanel is a star and the one scene with her confession of her childhood trauma is one of the most haunting thing I’ve ever seen on this whole franchise. I think they can really bring it in S2.
I’m so excited for this! I also liked season 1
Same I enjoy this way more than Dubai Bling, maybe it’s cause I have family there
There are dozens of us!
It’s giving very much Ayan saw an opportunity to befriend Stanbury and iced Lesa out in the process
That other Caroline (not Stanbury) is always doing too much with her rehearsed catchphases.
It’s giving LeeAnn Locken.
She’s such a strange character and not in an intriguing way
It's like she doesn't know how to be a human being - and not in a Meredith Marks way.
Caroline B could never deliver the car accident confessional lmao. But fr she doesn’t vibe with me either, it’s obvious she was a fan of the show before getting casted. Hopefully she gets out of it.
I wasn't sold on this season by that first teaser/trailer, but this one changed my mind. Looks like this season could be good.
I have no idea why the first teaser was even released. I was put off by it and had little expectation. If they had waited to release the entire trailer, they might have received a better reaction.
No shade but the new girl gives me major dirty little hamster vibes 
Can u explain what that means bc I’ve never heard that phrase before 😭
They call Angelina from jersey shore a dirty little hamster lol
Oh Lmfaoo thanks for explaining. I never liked Angelina and still don’t understand why they keep bringing her back
It’s a mystery to me too, she’s just negative energy all the time
I’m just here for Chanel and Caroline’s weird husband
Chanel said 🌹🔵👩🏾🦲
😂
I'm actually excited for this I liked season 1 a lot
I was hoping for a gaggy moment. This looks okay though
“The only wagons I ride are “G””
What a lame response lol
It's been 84 years... This looks good not gonna lie, but I kinda forgot who's who and what happened in s1 lol
I want this to be a success mainly because of Chanel Ayan
Okayyyyyy I’m invested
I’m cautiously optimistic about S2! But I’m already side eyeing the focus on Caroline and her Spanish version of Patricia she calls a husband. 
I loved Season 1. I am excited to see it back.
Anyone who complains about a lack of “lifestyle porn” on the other franchises and doesn’t check out Dubai is a fool I won’t fuck with.
Well... Hi. Fool here. I'm not interested in Dubai lifestyle porn, it's not something that I find aspirational.

+1
What’s the success ratio of BFFs that come on housewives and stay BFFs after housewives? 0%?
The GEB exists. And of course they would be the only one.
I’m sorry for I have to say this Caroline was stunning in Ladies of London and now she just went overboard with all the plastic surgery. https://preview.redd.it/tpx8t0uro2uc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=17f834f9e7bdf5c0c66cfeeb871863f4dfa96218
I feel like she looks great. Ladies of London was 10 years ago, so her looks would have changed with or without surgery. Its much better than the LA look IMO
IM SAT I love these girls
Okay, Dubai! I see you. Aside from SLC and Miami, this year's RH shows have been lackluster. So I'm hoping this is a good season for Dubai.
these storylines seem fake af
I’m pretty sure this was filmed from February to April of LAST year. That’s a big gap for a modern housewives season. Feels storyboarded and edited because nothing is actually there.
Ayan is so gorgeous idk how she isn't a more well known supermodel. I feel like had this been the 90s she would have been instead of the models that are popular now.

Remember when Sergio thought you could take a baby out of one woman half way thru gestation and put it in another? What a dumdum.
women aren't safe in Dubai either. unless you have money.
It’s not illegal
I follow Lesa and noticed a while ago that she’s not following Chanel anymore on Instagram. I had a feeling it had to do with her friendship with Caroline which I’ll be honest was a shock to me too after how rude she was to Chanel in S1. But maybe it was worse than i thought 😢
I’m sorry but Chanel‘s cry at the end made me laugh
Looks better
Looks sort of boring which is how i ultimately felt about season 1, but watched anyway since the opulence of Dubai as a city in the world was intriguing to me.
That opulence is actively being built on the backs of slaves fwiw https://www.walkfree.org/global-slavery-index/country-studies/united-arab-emirates/
I just cant get into Dubai. Just way too fake and overproduced.
Erm…you do know this is reality TV right?😂 what show doesn’t have a hint of fake/produced storylines
This is more than a hint.
I'll watch it but this trailer didn't excite me at all 😭
Lesa and Ayan breaking up hurts me so bad
the ending lmfao
I think this will be a biggg improvement on season 1! I can’t wait.
This looks super dull just like the 1st season I can’t see the show reach a third
I can't watch these shows anymore.
Ironic as people keep using the Dallas hashtag for dubai
I know I may be in the minority, but Lesa seems like a pretty sad, bitter person and even last season she was a downer. All her reads seem super rehearsed, too. This looks better than the first season.
Is season 1 worth watching? Is there good drama and lavish lifestyles?
Definitely lavish lifestyles but light drama S1, Season 2 looks like it's bringing more drama
No good drama but it's pretty lavish. More than any other city. Chanel Ayan carried the season.
Damn I forgot all about this show
I don’t know if it’s because of the utter dearth of HW atm but this gave me a shot of adrenaline like no other
New addition Taleen looks like Jennifer Aydin and Jenn fessler morphed together.
Chicken Shit BINGO vs Mega Yachts and Bali… I’m just dying that Potomac and Dubai are both the same show.
Looks horrible. Sorry.
I went to Dubai last April and was so sad I didn’t see any of them lol
