The argument continues with Brooks and Sara. Something got her extra riled up over this. It sort of seemed like someone egged her on. Sara looks to them, and says “what the fuck is this??” At this point this argument is so pointless. Neither of them recall the exact word -for -word conversation, which is understandable.
But the things Sara is correcting her on are basically identical, or very similar to what she actually said. Like “I didn’t say you’re not CLOSE to your son, I said you need to be MORE closer with him.”
Um Okay? Lesa is kind of right, instead of nitpicking about the exact words that were used, just say you’re sorry she was offended.
After Sara yelled at the camera people or ‘producer’ whatever, things seemed to have suddenly de-escalated. It seemed like something happened in the middle there that wasn’t aired. Maybe Brooks realized she was being kind of unnecessarily cracra over this. Or not.
Can we not talk about this anymore? Can Sara stop giving everyone unsolicited advice and bragging about her ‘honorary PhD?’
Ayan and Lesa are now involved, and the word ‘judge’ is being thrown around. Caroline Brooks is leaving, as dinner is getting started. I don’t think anyone is upset about that. She needs to leave. Her work here is done, and she’s super drunk. She’s pulling some Erika Jaynes, and showing up to an event drunk, then of course drinking more alcohol upon arrival. Not sure why when you’re going to an event where there’s open bar, you need to show up already three sheets to the wind. Wait and drink the free shit? Duh.
So we revisit this gripe Caroline and Sergio were having at Ayan’s birthday party about the seating arrangements. I have to be honest about something. I totally misunderstood that whole convo about “sitting with his parents.” I see now it was literally about “sitting.” I thought she was referring to that she didn’t want to like, stay home with his parents when they arrived in Dubai prior to the wedding.
That she wanted to go out with her friends that came in for the wedding. I don’t know. So what I said about that conversation back on that episode probably didn’t make much sense. It just seems so trivial, if they sit beside his parents or her friends.
If Sergio really wanted to sit with his family, seems like such a small thing Caroline could have agreed to. She’s such a pompous bitch. Caroline brags in their yap (for some reason Sergio is included in the confessional, with Caroline awkwardly sitting sort of, not really, on his lap.) how she ‘won’ that argument. Sergio said he could deal with it, since his family was right behind them. Whatever, who cares. Caroline just needs to have her way. I’m sure she saw her stupid friends plenty over the 3 days of celebrations
Brooks is leaving. She’s still bitching to her two guy friends she brought about Sara. She just came to drink more alcohol, and fight with Sara anyway. Bye. There’s no door since everything is outside in Dubai, but don’t let the door hit ya in the ass.
Caroline is still bitching about Ayan “coming as her, and wearing a veil and wedding gown.” She’s still sticking with the veil thing, even though by now, she has to realize there is no veil on her head. She is wearing a long blonde wig. Caroline has short blonde hair, and everyone was ordered to wear white, but Caroline seems unable to let this go. It really is how a lot of viewers are seeing it on SM, that she’s just pissed that Ayan looks better than her. Which I’m not even sure she does. For my taste, I prefer what Caroline is wearing. Love the sparkles. (although I do think it looks a little prom-like) I get Ayan is wearing ‘couture’ and all, but it’s a body suit and cape? The body suit sort of looks like a diaper to be honest. I think it’s kind of weird, to me, hers looks the LEAST like a wedding gown compared to what the others are wearing.
It’s so stupid, and the fact that she’s still bitching about it, several hours later, and letting it ruin “her night” is dumb. Dumb dumb dumb.
“Who the fuck does that?” she yells. Maybe it is appropriate for Caroline to be marrying this dude in his 20’s because she acts so fucking immature. She’s insistent in her yap that “everyone was asking her about Ayan’s dress” Really? So ‘everyone’ is as petty as she is ?
Maybe at your next engagement soiree when you marry the “55 year old with plenty of money” that your father wanted you to marry, you won’t order everyone to wear white?
And the white dress saga goes on. She approaches Ayan and tells her that people thought she was her. This is as bad as Kathy on Beverly Hills, thinking Garcelle was Kyle. Ayan points out that she is, you know, black. (also a good 6 inches taller) She physically grabs her, and swings her around, to point out from the back she looks like her. Also Caroline doesn’t wear wigs down to her ass, so there’s also that feature that makes her NOT resemble Caroline. So we’re really just down to the blonde wig. No one else apparently was allowed to be blonde attending the party, lest they might “look like her” or are “trying to be her.”
So do we recognize this Juliet chick from Ladies of London, if you watched that. Caroline must have put her up to ganging up on Ayan about her look. She approaches and really high school and snarky-like, says she “was trying to figure out who’s getting married.”
Ayan, still confused, points out what Juliet is wearing. Caroline is bothered that her dress has a train. I feel like I’m spending way too much time addressing this. Bottom line is that it made her feel insecure because Ayan looks better, and is getting more attention. How is that Ayan’s issue? Maybe she needs to step up HER game, and not wear something that would be more suitable for a teenager.
Ayan in the beginning thought Caroline was kidding around, now she’s seeing that she’s really pissed, and now has these two dumb bitches trying to make her feel badly for looking good. My God. This reminds me of where I worked briefly one time, I was new, and I got called over to the section of the office where this stupid little click sat, and they asked me “how many pairs of shoes I had…” And it had a snarky jealous feeling to it. Like this. It wasn’t all of your shoes are really cute – you must like shoes.” So sorry you dumbasses dicks, I take pride in my appearance, and yes I have a lot of shoes. Is it my fault you don’t ? Is it my fault yours are from walmart? This whole scene is literally reminding me of that. Between those assholes, and this miserable underwriter ugly bitch that just hated me for existing, I could not wait to get the fuck out of there.
Anyway, this is still going on. And that Juliett asshole is looking Ayan over like she’s an alien. It’s all super annoying and is ‘triggering’ me. Now I think I’m going to go cry or burn something down.
She yells at her “you look like a bride!!” She’s being really nasty to her. You. Told. Them. To. Wear. White. Jesus Christ.
I can totally foresee this getting addressed at the reunion. I can just hear Andy now, calmly, in his Andy way, “you did order everyone to wear white.” Then she’ll start ranting about the ‘veil’ and the train… and OhmiGod. I might fast forward through it.
It seems like everyone in her circle was egging her on, instead of trying to explain, she told everyone to wear white, and reassuring her she doesn’t really look like a bride, and that she looks better.
I guess it’s typical Housewife stuff, where everyone is afraid to disagree with the Queen Bee.
So Regina George and her basic sidekick seems to have this shit out of their system, and now they hug and laugh about it. Ayan is trying to act unbothered but it really was so weird.
Nina wants to leave because she got a text from her brother that they’re taking her dad who has covid, into the ICU. She says she doesn’t know what that means. She doesn’t know what ICU stands for ?
Oh Kay. Wow. Sounds like they’re playin the covid game in the hospital with her poor dad. Intentionally giving the wrong medication that causes the need to be ventilated. Then the ventilators cause the condition to be worse, then people died. Doctors were getting paid to administer the wrong thing, (Ivermectin) and Hospitals were getting paid per covid death. You don’t me to tell you this. You can all research as well I can, I assume.
Nina says she needs to get home. She also needs to be smart enough to know what the hell ICU stands for.
If you can believe it, Caroline is still bitching about Ayan. She does at least acknowledge there was no veil. Now she says, “no more arguments, let’s have fun.” So do we think she’s finally dropping this? Ayan really is taking this with grace, and not letting it upset her. Lesa ridicules Caroline when she walks away. She made a fool out of herself. She needs to remove the cactus out of her ass, or drink more and loosen up. Feels like she spent half the night bitching about how a guest looked fabulous and she did not.
Nina and her husband are visiting the construction site of their new penthouse. (an 18,000 SF three floor luxurious penthouse.) She’s complaining he ripped down all of the ceilings so he could make it more fabulous for her. Nina. You poor thing. She bitches to him and bitches to him and doesn’t stop. He says nothing to her. Don’t even get me started.
Okay the moment we’ve all been waiting for, wedding day. Sergio asks her what she’s going to say in her speech. Caroline says the women don’t give speeches. He’s asking her tons of questions and is all excited about their wedding day, and she tells him to sort of shut up.
There are people swarming about, and they get served breakfast in bed. It looks like Caroline is naked with the blanket over her as she’s talking to someone about seating details, in her bedroom. Sounds like the Housewives were added as attendees at the last minute. Brooks has decided to decline, after her performance the previous evening. Or Caroline told her not to come. Caroline tells everyone in the room she ignored all the fights last night. And then proceeds to start her own fight, with a guest whose dress she was jealous of. Sounds fair.
Sergio is so cute. He really thinks they’re not going to get divorced.
Ayan is walking in a fashion show. She will not be attending the wedding. I am sure she’s quite upset about missing it after getting harassed all evening the previous night about her dress.
They make the wedding scenes quite dramatic with the dubbed in music playing. Sometimes this show comes off as kind of an actual non-reality TV show. I was going to say ‘scripted’ but didn’t because, you know.
Caroline’s dress is oh my God – I love it!! I love lace so I think it really is stunning. The sheer bottom is cute, and gives it a whimsy type feeling.
It’s kind of cute that Sergio cries all the time, but also kind of annoying. I feel like that would get old.
Sergio’s dad is crying too. So the apple didn’t fall far. Another lap, yap scene. They need to not keep showing those. Did no one tell them that looked ridiculous?
Switching to the fashion show. Brooks is attending the show also, and feels bad about her behavior the previous night, as she’s speaking to Lesa and Ayan. They also joke about learning from this, for her next wedding.
Sara is leaving the reception before dinner because she cut her foot or something. I guess she can’t get a band-aid from the hotel? Sounds like she just wanted to leave. Doesn’t really seem like the ladies are that excited about this wedding. Probably because this is like the 10th wedding related shindig. Think they’re all over it.
The fashion show is underway and Ayan’s son is also walking. These are some strange fashion items. Typical for a runway show. Things you look at and think, who the hell wears this?? Look at Ayan, she tried to wear something like this in the real world and got bitched at all night. This stuff is really over the top though.
Reception is getting underway, and Sergio is crying again. Caroline changed her dress. I liked the other one better.
People think Yasmine looks like Gia from Jersey. Caroline brags about having the support of her kids with Sergio and how much they love him. Probably because he’s 27, and they feel like he’s their friend, not really a stepdad.
Sergio manages to get her on the stage for a speech. She is being really sweet and pleasant at the wedding, actually. After she has been treating him like her whipping boy in all of the episodes. Guess she’s giving him his day he wanted so badly.
Post- wedding brunch. For anyone that watched Ladies of London (LOL – I just realized) do you also remember Sophie Stanbury? I believe she was Caroline’s sister in law, married to her brother, but they were getting a divorce. Not sure if the brother is around. Nothing has been mentioned. That could be awkward if they’re not on good terms. Everyone thought she had fabulous hair. She still does.
Juliett is still annoying, I see. I don’t recall a lot about her, but I think it’s because she’s so basic and boring. She was like the little gnat that you just wanted to flick.
Surprisingly Ayan is invited to, and attending the Brunch. Of course, she makes an entrance, and looks the MOST fabulous, and didn’t let Caroline intimidate her into dressing down. She’s wearing a very poofy very pink gown.
That stupid Juliett is making faces and looking her up and down. Hate to keep using the ‘j’ word, but clearly jealous. If there was ever anyone basic on the Housewives shows, it is totally this Juliett chick.
Ready for her to go back to London.
Caroline doesn’t seem put off by Ayan’s dress. I really think she would be, but she’s just too tired to be a bitch right now. I think being a bitch or an asshole, or whatever adjective you want to use, really does take a lot of energy. It seems like it does. Always needing to find something to piss and moan about, such a waste of time and energy.
And we are for reals, discussing Ayan’s look at the engagement party. This has to be the most discussed, most trivial topic I have encountered on Housewives in a long time. This dress discussion has dominated the entire show. More time was spent discussing Ayan’s dress being too fabulous, than footage of the actual wedding. No lie.
Lesa calls Caroline’s friends basic in her yap, saying they would never survive in Dubai. This Juliett chick fer sure would not. She demands to know why Ayan and Lesa weren’t at the wedding. Girl – shut up!
I forgot how much I hated her, since LOL was on like ten years ago. As fabulous as Sophie’s hair is, Juliett’s is just as horrible. I don’t mean to keep picking on her but, it’s just bad. And she’s an ass, so I don’t care.
They talk about Caroline having a child with Sergio. Sophie reminds her of the issues she had with her twin sons, since she has preclampsia, a high blood pressure condition. I think Sergio said something about starting the baby with her, and taking it out and putting it in someone else ? Oh my God, okay.
Apparently you can’t do surrogacy in Dubai, because you can’t give birth there without being married. (assuming the surrogate wouldn’t be married) I thought they said earlier that was not the case anymore.
This scene is funny with Brooks and her mom because I was noticing in the first or second episode she had photos of herself only all over the walls. I think that got brought up in the previous week’s episode too (which I didn’t recap – I was having my issue with my arm) at dinner, when her guests asked her where all the pics were of her son. That is pretty embarrassing, sorry. Normal people have pictures of their kids all over the place, not themselves. Nothing about her seems really normal so far. Maybe Housewife normal.
She tells her mom about Sara’s comments, and how she flipped on Sara. Her Mom tells her to apologize. She starts to cry about her ex husband. Apparently he was kind of an asshole, and mean. Shocker.
