Season 2 of The Real Housewives of Dubai came to a dramatic conclusion when Part 2 of the reunion aired on Sept. 17, but The Daily Dish still has more to reveal as we were lucky enough to be on set the day of the reunion taping.
Chief among said reveals? A behind-the-scenes moment that didn't make it to air, in which reunion host Andy Cohen declared that he was experiencing a Real Housewives first.
The remark came shortly after Chanel Ayan took the reunion stage and she and Andy got to talking about her couture gown. Fans may recall that the red dress featured an elaborate train, and this resulted in Ayan and Andy having to do some strategic arranging so the gown wasn't taking up the entire couch (or overflowing into Andy's space, considering Ayan was sat right next to him).
"I've never had to negotiate this," the Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen emcee said at one point.
Ultimately, though, he concluded, "It's kind of gonna look like I have a train, but that's OK."
Suffice to say, Ayan and Andy made it work, and it wasn't long before the rest of the RHODubai cast — Caroline Stanbury, Caroline Brooks, Lesa Milan, Sara Al Madani, and Taleen Marie — emerged from their dressing rooms and started trickling onto set.
Shortly after every 'Wife was seated, cameras began rolling — and the rest was history! From there, the ladies "reflected on a fabulous season that saw loyalties shift and friendships tested," as a press release put it.
Where does The Real Housewives of Dubai cast stand after Season 2?
The RHODubai cast wrapped up the Season 2 reunion with a shady gift exchange, but after that, Sara delivered a message that signals hope for the group. As she put it, "I think the first step to growth is accountability, and it's not about being honest with people, it's about being honest with yourself. About so many things. And the truth is, we all struggle, we all have a lot going on, we all have our ups and downs, and if we don't have empathy towards each other, what the hell are we doing here?"
