Ok I think I know what is happening with Dubai. It’s filmed EXACTLY like Selling Sunset. It feels way more curated and inauthentic than a normal RH. For me, the premiere wasn’t great. I wonder if they’ll keep up with this style or if it will adjust into a more normal storytelling. It has very strong SS/ even Love Island dance party vibes that I just wasn’t feeling. 

It's been so long since we've had a BRAND new cast of characters, and I'm wondering what you all thought. I found it difficult to really get behind anyone FULLY, just because it's early days. But, I love how RICH these women are. There's a glamour to this series that you just don't get in Orange County or Potomac. (Though they supplement with outrageousness.) 

What were your favorite parts of the premiere? Any stand outs? Any hopes / dreams / thoughts? 

Thoughts on the premiere?
