S01.E13: Reunion, Part 1
SemiCharmedLife replied to Talented Tenth's topic in The Real Housewives Of Dubai
This makes her perfect "Housewives" material, then. 😂 -
Finally Ryan had to cook the squid the guests caught, being asked about it personally. They also asked him about their fish, but waited until they were leaving the boat. That fish would have taken more time to prep and debone. Or is it the kind you can prepare whole? This is a legitimate question because my whole life we always cleaned and deboned the fish we caught, but now when my husband brings home mojarra from the Mexican market, it is deep fried in its entirety, eyes, lips and all. Took some getting used to...

I'm so glad Georgia won this week. I've admired her designs since the beginning and I was afraid she was not going to be recognized as a frontrunner. If I had the money, I would love to buy one of her pleated designs for a special occasion.

Regarding upcoming previews, I think it is crazy for Storm to promote a deckhand to lead deckhand. Mzi is on his second year and is still new to a lot of the skills. Courtney is very green, has a great attitude, but not ready to be lead. Jason probably has the most experience, but will not be promoted because he has an attitude with Storm. I think everyone needs to maintain the status quo...if it's not broke, don't fix it. This reeks of production interference.

S04.E06: Life After Lockup: Lost and Found

The least he could do is send her a tracing...she's now traumatized for life! 😉 -
Saw this on Reddit and had to share:

I wholeheartedly agree with your points. The judging went way beyond necessary and into shaming the designers. Jeremy's tantrum just made him look unhinged, but to be there at the receiving end of it must have been brutal. I feel that the problem with the broad label "festival wear" is that the judges seemed to have a narrow definition of it in their minds. Of course, they referenced Coachella and probably had some memories of festivals they have attended as they were judging the designs. The designers were rightly referencing any type of festival and their takes were not jiving with the judges narrow vision. I'm over the 1 day time limits (or even shorter). The results speak for themselves. Everyone was capable of so much more, but ran out of time. This may increase drama for the show, but it's not an accurate summary of what the designers can do, even with just a few more hours of time. I hated the ending, when the judges were trying to justify themselves. Too little, too late.

I was so happy to see the team collaboration work out so well. Most of the time, there are so many conflicts working with partners/teams and at times a person gets sent home for no fault of their own, which drives me mad. This time, the team embraced Yannik's theme and used it to spark creativity. They actually had fun during the challenge and it showed! (Except for the sewing machine mix up.)

I agree that Sienna caused workroom drama and extra stress to the other designers by changing sewing machines, but I am willing to give her a little grace because she was shown trying to make it work with the broken machine. She was also adjusting the tension and cut her finger. It was at that point, she made the decision to use a different machine. I think she was frustrated and didn't want to keep fighting with the machine she was assigned. I also think the pressure of the seven hours to complete a look played into her decision. She didn't have the time to futz around with that machine. I think if I were her, I would have asked if I could hop around to different machines while they weren't being used. If the machine isn't working, it's not fair to have to stick with it. I think she could have handled it better, but I understand her frustration.

S01.E13: Reunion, Part 1
SemiCharmedLife replied to Talented Tenth's topic in The Real Housewives Of Dubai
They did say that the 7 figures was in UAE dirham, which is .27 to the American dollar. I don't know why these women are bickering about who is more successful. Financially, they all seem to be doing extremely well (helluva lot better than me, that's for sure), and they should stop with the petty comparisons. Who cares if Sergio didn't get to play in Real Madrid games, he was on the roster and got paid as part of their pro team. It's a lot of nitpicking over nothing. -
Yes, the clothes the judges wore are from Moschino, Jeremy Scott's line. However, I'm surprised they all wore them at the same time. Isn't it a fashion faux pas to wear the same thing as someone else? They are not part of the runway show, so I don't get it. Speaking of not getting it: Yannik's blanket fashion.

I could not understand this fruitcake business? Nobody likes fruitcake. I had to Google it and it turns out that the fruit cake is more of a layered vanilla cake and custard topped with fresh fruit. The article describes Nina's love of cooking. Okay, now it makes more sense! https://itp.live/news/10349-lifestyle-influencer-nina-alis-new-delectable-business-fruit-cake-will-now-be-the-cherry-on-top-at-any-celebration -
S12.E16: Altitude Adjustment
SemiCharmedLife replied to jewel21's topic in The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills
This makes so much sense. The root of most of the issues the coven has with the other housewives is jealousy. I remember Rinna going on about Denise not putting in the work. The extra money and popularity just added fuel to the fire. Now, Kathy, in their eyes, is doing the same. Trying to stay above it all and collecting the big paycheck and fan adoration. They have a desperate need to bring her down (along with Sutton and Garcelle).
