I don't know if she comes from money, but she's got that look.  Sort of Carole Radziwill-ish.  

Yes, I totally get that! 

Say what you want about this new cast, yes we are missing out on the crazy horny Sonja and the crazy horny and twitchy Ramona, etc...but this new crew has the fashion, the real estate and the careers to make things interesting without having to be drunk and sloppy.

Is that how the Hamptons people entertain?  Caviar on a Pringle?  Pathetic.  They should take a tip from the Jersey wives.  They know how to put out a spread for guests.   It’s a far ride from Manhattan to the Hamptons.   They must have been starving.

But, unfortunately, we are not missing out on the tmi sex talk.

This was boring and forgettable. There's little chemistry with the cast. It's obvious most of them don't have a history together. And they seem to be acting for the cameras, which is what happens when you cast a bunch of media people.

The OG cast was iconic.  They set the bar.  Very tough act to follow.  So many great moments.  They had the wealth, the big parties, homes in The Hamptons.

But more important - the core cast knew one another.  Makes a big difference in as far as the dynamics.

I’m trying the show out and am willing to give it a few more episodes to see if I’m in or out. 
I think they need to gel for a bit, and get used to each other. One of the reasons we are so enamored with the previous cast is that they all knew each other well and it showed.

The problem with this show is that it is being shown under the "Housewives Of" branding; it should have been a separate entity. These women could be fairly intriguing to watch outside of the contrivances of this brand. The Housewives shows have devolved into nothing more than fights, bad marriages, and juvenile sex talk, so much so that that is what we expect. We should find this show an interesting look into upscale New Yorkers' lives, but since we have been conditioned to ridiculous behavior we are finding this boring.

Maybe it would still be boring if it was called "Social Influencers of NYC" , but at least then we wouldn't get the feeling that the producers are working hard in the background to gin up some petty fights and grievances. Instead they could have concentrated on just showing us how these women live and work and naturally interact; good housing and clothing porn. What this franchise originally set out to do, before tables were flipped, family vans were yelled about, and bad behavior made people "stars".

The first few seasons of NYC was like capturing lightening in a bottle, that whole feeling is never going to be reproduced. Bravo needs to quit chasing a now tired format and come up with something new.

But just as important - the core cast knew one another off camera.  Makes a huge difference.

I think most that was going on was Producer driven.  Only serving an appitizer isn’t the norm.  Any hostess knows that.

The things I loved most with the OG’s were when they ate at nice restaurants and shopped for trinkets and clothing in the Caribbean, Europe, or even Upstate N.Y.  Walking along streets in different places while pushing a wheelchair was hilarious.  I don’t think this new bunch could pull off comedy like the OG’s.  Taking a can of coconut milk from a kitchen was not funny.  It was stupid, although if Sonja did it, it would have been funny somehow.

Well she would have stuffed it in her purse and taken it home without telling anyone.

Then expecting the server to bring it back down to the kitchen. Oh well, at least she (can't remember who) asked the server nicely.

And completely expected from Sonja! The girl likes a save a dollar when she can!

She'd have taken more than just a can of coconut milk, and she'd have flirted with the kitchen staff

I feel like if this were an "Am I the Asshole" post, Caviargate would receive a judgment of ESH: Everybody Sucks Here.

Erin was a shitty host for serving something as specific as caviar for lunch, without other options and without checking to see if it fit the dietary needs/preferences of her guests. The other women (except Jenna) sucked for how catty and obnoxious they were about it.

I quite enjoyed  tonight. I really  like Jenna( I haven't  googled  any of them) I wasn't  sure last week, & I like Erin.  Caviar  and pringles,  hmm, not sure I'd like that, but I'd eat it. I've only had caviar  once. Sai packed 58 outfits for three days, how ridiculous is she. Ubah reminds me of Chanel Ayin on Dubai, they are both stunning. First trip, and no bratty Brynn, maybe she wants to make an entrance,  previews  show she's on next week.

Utah is Chanel's cousin.

I thought the caviar hors was served around 4 PM--sort of an after lunch and before dinner treat.  I would have loved it!  Expecting a meal was ridiculous.

Also the caviar on a chip was done in Southern Charm (Patricia served it).  I'd like to try the caviar on a Pringle with a dollop of sour cream (I prefer it to creme fraiche).

The chick (Jessel?) going on and on about the green nightgown was waaaaay too much.  It was a gift.  Say thank you and move on if you don't like it.  I don't think anybody is expecting to see it in Playboy. Complaining about the size was also too much--sure look like the size was correct!

I mean, I would have loved the caviar on the Pringles too! And I agree that expecting a meal at 4 pm was ridiculous. But I still think if you're going to offer snacks to your guests, you should take into account their dietary preferences and offer something beyond this one specific thing that not everybody likes. If my guests arrived and I learned they were hungry, I would have started pulling stuff out of the fridge and offering it to them. I really think they would have been okay with a snack to tide them over until dinner. (I'm sure they would have still found something to complain about, but still...) 

And yes, Jessel was being awful.

So far, what’s so great about their wardrobes?  Jenna wears jeans most times.  The others .. eh!

I actually like Jenna’s style. Very casual but put together. She must dress up sometimes if she wears all those shoes in her closet.

1) Nope, you can't just wander into a restaurant kitchen.  Nope.  Absolutely not.  I can't imagine how many health code violations they caused.  Keep you fake hair, poorly glued on lashes and nails out of the kitchen please.  Ug.

(Also don't wander into operating rooms when doctors are working...or manufacturing floors during a production shift...or anyone's place of business...just don't )

2) i get it....you are a very IMPORTANT  influencer (well "important" and "influencer" seem like mutually exclusive terms...).  But honestly SEVEN bags for THREE days sure makes it seem like you have wayyyy tooo much "influencing" to do to have accepted a social invite.  If you can't afford to take anytime whatsoever off of your job, then you aren't going to be a good houseguest.

This whole new show is just so meh to me.

Caviar?  I've had it.  Meh as well.  And yes, served with chips.  $200 for chips with tiny fish eggs.  This was at a Napa famous-chef's restaurant.  My friends were like, ooooh, we must get the caviar.  Meh!

I just ate at a new restaurant for lunch in my not-New York city.  A lunch appetizer for $168 of caviar.  Pass.

I just don't love any of these women.  There's no one to root for, no one who shows vulnerabilities, they are all screen shows.  They all remind me of early "Countess Luann", who was humbled by the end.

I'll wait till the new casts start having divorces, because they are eminent.

Somebody was wondering if those women who wouldn't be seen in the Hamptons in the off season own houses in the Hamptons. They don't, and some don't even own anything in New York. They rent. 

Brynn was absent, and was not missed, but she will arrive to the Hamptons soon. 

Jessel was rude, although I realize that the lingerie was not flattering. She didn't have to repeat that was ugly so many times.

This makes me so sad.

Because I'm out.

I just cancelled all future recordings.

I so badly wanted this to be my new show, my new guilty pleasure.

But these vapid women are insufferable and bring nothing.

I'm sad.

To be honest, she did look horrible in that nightgown, ill fitting or maybe it is her build, idunno. 

It wasn't designed to look good on someone over an A cup whose breasts ride low.

Jenna and Erin are on a different plain than the other four who are indeed deserving of that adjective.

Jenna is what I've been wanting for these shows for a long time. I love how she refuses to fight like a zoo ape or participate in the manufactured drama. Also LOVE her old money aesthetic contrasted with these RUBES clomping around the Hamptons like they're going to prom instead of breakfast. I'm also liking the one who looks like Jennifer Aniston. Oh! And also liking the ones who said categorically that they don't drink. Very refreshing. Jenna is an interesting person; meanwhile, these "influencers" sound like braindead nitwits. Also, I have ZERO interest in any of their screeching kids.

I think production tells them what to say for drama.  They are too important to think up things themselves.  So they think.

Jenna: The type of woman you only refer to using both her names, Jenna Lyons! Jenna Lyons looks familiar to me (cos I’m a dinosaur) but I’m Australian so I don’t think she is well known here. Last week (first ep) I did not warm to her at all. I thought she was overly fashionista-like pretentious, a try hard ‘cool chick’. I gave her serious eye rolls at the unbuttoned shirt/show off the naughty glimpses of boobs situation. This week: still eye rolling at that but now I’ve seen more to her personality I’m liking her. I like her self awareness of her awkwardness (which is what she uses her ‘cool chick’ armour to cover up) and I’m keen to learn more about her. 

I wasn't sure I'd like Jenna based on her attire. I thought she might be an attention seeking mess like Brandi Glanville or Sonja Morgan, whom I like but cringe-watch at times. Jenna seems like a genuinely cool chick though. It's also nice having a cast member in the fashion industry.
