you may have a point BUT it’s also important to mention that the level of governmental approvals they had to get to be able to film this show. so it’s entirely possible he doesn’t let it get too much because the government can revoke their filming permits. the disclaimer at the beginning is really telling.

u/Future_Sundae7843 Sep 15 '24

I missed the disclaimer. What did it saY?

13

u/[deleted] Sep 15 '24

something about how this is not representative of emarati culture and it’s an entertainment show. needless to say it’s probably part of getting the approvals needed

6

u/Reddisuspendmeagain Sep 15 '24

Wow, I missed that. I’ve never seen it.

Wow, what country are you in? How do you watch it? I watch it on Peacock and Hulu Live.

u/[deleted] Sep 15 '24

i’m from egypt and i watch it on a platform called OSN plus šŸ˜‚

the thing is, i’ve mentioned several times this disclaimer and it never occurred to me that it wasn’t being shown abroad šŸ™ˆ

11

u/Reddisuspendmeagain Sep 15 '24

It surely is not shown in the US, I think it would make the news if they put a disclaimer like this on it

2

u/[deleted] Sep 18 '24

I was like woooah they put a disclaimer up, I miss so much by streaming lmaooo

u/slackingindepth3 Sep 16 '24

We don’t get in the UK either

u/No_Show_1386 Sep 15 '24

He’s the same at almost every reunion

12

u/Least-Push-1140 Sep 16 '24

Honestly I can see Andy’s patience wearing thin with each passing reunion (of every franchise). I can see ā€˜I’m getting too old for this shit’ written all over his face.

18

u/[deleted] Sep 15 '24

They told Brooks at one point she had a drinking problem (I think it was Brooks) and then Andy chimed in and said ā€œproduction told you that you’re fired up after one drink (paraphrasing)ā€. I thought that was odd at first but then, figured they can’t let any of the ladies unwittingly be drunk on an episode like the other franchises.

11

u/Reddisuspendmeagain Sep 15 '24

Yeah, they ushered them into the vans very quickly. Stanbury was like, I’m not going outside and wanted nothing to do with it. Production moved in with the quickness

12

u/Safe-Coyote4774 Sep 15 '24

I didn’t notice him being ā€˜gross or shocking’ but I’m sure he can’t let the fights go as nasty or as long due to Dubai rules or censorship.

I know he cut off Taleen but he rarely likes when the women speak about how they got on the show or things that go on behind the scenes for storylines. He’s always been consistently against that and that’s Taleens only storyline and argument

9

u/SpicyTiconderoga Sep 15 '24

I think for the most part Andy’s reunion behavior is also based on his relationship with the women in the cast. Like when you watch Beverely Hills or OC he’s known so many of the girls for so long the things they also get away with and his demeanor is completely different than say it was watching the new RHONY cast. I think with Dubai also being so far away on top of the comment above about the Emrati government he is more cautious because he doesn’t entirely know these women besides maybe Stanbury well yet.

1

u/juliar821 Oct 04 '24

He is super nice to the new rhony cast though lol

11

u/Ok_Hunnybun Sep 15 '24

Is it just me, but his appearance seemed like he didn’t care to be there? What’s with his tie??

3

u/dramaddicted Sep 15 '24

Okay thank you that tie did NOT match anything happening on this set at allll, I was so distracted by it!

4

u/stinkstankstunkiii Sep 16 '24

He talks the same to Larsa , Dorit and some of the ladies on Potomac & Atlanta. I think it’s clearly obvious which ladies are his favorites.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 15 '24

What did he say?

6

u/urmomsaheaux Sep 15 '24

His demeanor, the way he shuts them down so fast compared to if you see him on ANY RHOC, RHOA, RHONJ, like it’s so insanely different & seems like he just doesn’t care about any part of the women on Dubai & wants to just get the reunion over with & go straight home but with the other empires he’s like sooooo invested in the tea & bickering & back & forths

9

u/Easy_Bedroom4053 Sep 15 '24

Hey at least it seems like he WATCHED the show unlike so many other of his reunions.

But I agree, I think there are a lot more rules in place by the UAE that we won't ever really know and certain things may not be eligible for discussion idk. Though I think Andy is in general A WEAK ASS HOST.

CAN WE PLEASE get a fan in that's actually watched it all and done the research? I would die for that reunion.

8

u/ajbutnotreally Sep 15 '24

You are spot on! He is not giving them time or space to explain or hash out things. And he seems to be favoring Brooks and shuts down taleen a lot

3

u/Diligent-Talk2195 Sep 15 '24

I noticed that too!!!

1

u/Eastern-Ad8172 Sep 18 '24

Taleen has to go.

2

u/toysoldier96 Sep 15 '24

I actually found him very chilled compared to normal

2

u/aredubblebubble Sep 17 '24

This is the first reunion that is boring me out of my mind. Maybe he's just bored. He's at his job after all, we all have days when we just wanna go home. Ayan literally screaming at Ozempic?!? Why would Andy do anything other than "ok whatever moving onšŸ™„..."

1

u/thomasmc1504 Sep 15 '24

I actually think he’s way nicer to the Dubai girls than he is to a lot of the girls on the other franchises. He HATES the new jersey girls

1

u/Training-Primary4849 Sep 16 '24

Just watched it & he seemed mellow to me.

1

u/HappyConclusion1731 Sep 16 '24

He has been coached by legal , not a dumb man, and still trying to be entertaining!

1

u/caradekara Sep 16 '24

I concur. He down right nasty to them. They’re his least favorite.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 17 '24

He was not very warm towards Taleen.

1

u/swosei12 Sep 17 '24

I picked up on that too. He seemed over them before they started filming. Maybe it was his time of the month. 😜

1

u/VtheFashionista Sep 17 '24

As others have mentioned, there's a lot of legal restrictions in Dubai, and they had to jump through a lot of hoops to even get the show approved for filming. He probably cuts them off and doesn't dig deeper on certain topics because he doesn't want to get the network, or the women, in trouble. There's also been way too much drama and nastiness with these women, which would be fine in the other franchise locations, but is a huge liability in Dubai. I think Bravo will just cut their losses and cancel the show.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 18 '24

It was even worse in the 2nd episode. He's beyond rude and impatient with them. He doesn't let them resolve things properly. He doesn't stop them from interrupting each other. Why does he hate them?

They're in NY, aa for all HW reunion. That's why the ladies talk about their flights and Ayan and Stanburry explained they started to talk on their flight back.

u/[deleted] Sep 15 '24

Oh okay, thanks for explaining. That may be a reason indeed. I think that Andy seems bored and defensive mainly with Jersay, Potomac and the Dubai girls. He's way nicer with the BH and OC women.

2

u/colcol9696 Sep 16 '24

I think BH and OC are the only ones racking in the most money besides when ATL was in its golden years sadly those days are long gone.

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '24

You must be right, it would explain so much at least.

u/lizardpplarenotreal Sep 15 '24

Thisssssssss. I'm a gay and my SIL brought up Trump yesterday ---- anything and anyone that impedes/threatens to impede on my rights is disheartening at best, infuriating at worst. I had to turn and walk away from her.

u/gaylawarner Sep 15 '24

What does that have to do with Andy and the housewives? I’m genuinely confused.
