MOPB-Queens, Corsets & the Palm Beach Rulebook

Members Only: Palm Beach – Season 1, Episodes 1 & 2

“Welcome to Palm Beach” & “Will the Real Queen Please Stand Up?” – Combined Summary

The series opens by establishing Palm Beach as a glittering battleground where money, manners, and mentorship determine social survival.

At the center is Hilary Musser, a longtime Palm Beach fixture, real estate powerhouse, and five-time wife who proudly claims she’s “self-made” despite her billionaire marriages. She hosts an ultra-exclusive party tied to the 1000 Miglia race, complete with half a billion dollars’ worth of cars—setting the tone for who belongs and who doesn’t.

Enter Ro-Mina Ustayev, a flashy, self-made multimillionaire newcomer with a $42 million exit and zero interest in shrinking herself. Dubbed the “Palm Beach Kim Kardashian,” she quickly becomes the town’s lightning rod—too loud, too sexy, too confident, too new.

Ro-Mina is pulled in competing directions by three would-be mentors:

• Rosalyn Yellin, a fast-rising philanthropist obsessed with Palm Beach rules, decorum, and appearances
• Hilary Musser, who offers polished guidance while quietly judging Ro-Mina’s nails, outfits, and volume
• Maria Cozamanis (DJ Tumbles), the blunt truth-teller who warns Ro-Mina about transactional friendships and social gatekeeping

Episode 2 raises the stakes at the Palm Event launch party, where Ro-Mina arrives in a black leather corset and ruffled skirt—promptly becoming the punchline of the night. The message is clear: conform or be iced out.

The simmering rivalry between Hilary and Rosalyn explodes into the open. Hilary openly snubs Rosalyn, while Maria suggests Hilary feels threatened by how quickly Rosalyn has built social power. Hilary fires back in confessional, dismissing Rosalyn as someone with “no substance” because she doesn’t work.

Rosalyn’s authority is reinforced through her relationship with Palm Beach royalty Gale Brophy, a 40-year social fixture who literally passes Rosalyn a ceremonial baton, symbolizing her blessing to take over as the next queen. Gale warns Rosalyn to be careful who she mentors—kindness can come back to bite.

That warning proves prophetic at Rosalyn’s high tea, a full-blown etiquette minefield. Fascinators, designers, and legacy are on display as Ro-Mina struggles to keep up—forgetting Gale’s name, cracking jokes at the wrong moments, declaring COVID “a blessing,” and clapping loudly when Gale is crowned the OG Queen of Palm Beach. Rosalyn is mortified as the group openly scolds Ro-Mina for being loud, inappropriate, and unaware of “time and place.”

Despite trying to learn the rules, Ro-Mina realizes the standards keep shifting depending on who’s judging her.

The tension finally culminates in a tense lunch between Hilary and Rosalyn, where Hilary arrives late and confrontational. She makes it clear they’ll never be close—but insists they must coexist civilly. Rosalyn pushes back, asking to be judged on truth, not rumors.

By the end of Episode 2, Palm Beach’s hierarchy is clear:
 There’s an old queen, a rising queen, and a wildcard newcomer who refuses to dim her light—no matter how many people tell her to lower her voice.

Wendy (00:01.851)
Welcome to We Wine Whenever, I'm Wendy.

KELLI (00:04.791)
I'm Kelly.

Wendy (00:06.597)
Happy New Year, this is our first episode of the new year.

KELLI (00:07.982)
Happy New Year, that's right.

Wendy (00:12.985)
So Kelly and I watched members only, Palm Beach, that's on Netflix. There's eight episodes and we both binged it and watched all eight episodes. I'm not exactly sure how we're gonna recap it. So, you I took notes on each episode, but we'll start going through it and see where we're at with it.

KELLI (00:32.898)
I'm glad I literally had nothing to do New Year's Day and the day after, because they gave us the day off. So I honestly couldn't turn the show off. I really had to keep watching it. And the episodes are only 30, 40 minutes long. None of them are really that long. I think I text you and cousin Gina. And cousin Gina was, I think the...

Wendy (00:51.374)
Right.

KELLI (00:58.926)
Well, you knew about the show and then cousin Gina said to watch the show and then Eric on New Year's Day came upstairs and was like, something just came up on Netflix, I think you'd be into it. It's called Members Only, I think it's about Palm Beach and I just started laughing. I'm like, I'm already on episode three. But my big takeaway was basically it was white girls with blonde hair telling the dark haired girls that they're not good enough.

Wendy (01:17.697)
you

KELLI (01:27.498)
And if they change and act more like them, they'll be more accepted, except for Taja. Nobody was telling Taja what to do.

Wendy (01:36.411)
Nobody was telling Taja what to do.

KELLI (01:39.116)
Mm-hmm. Mm-mm. I think she's my fave. She's the front runner.

Wendy (01:44.461)
Is she? So yeah, and it's funny because after I finished watching the whole eight episodes, it was kind of, I'll be honest with you, I felt like it was kind of like a train wreck. Again, couldn't stop watching it.

KELLI (01:45.686)
Mine, yeah.

KELLI (01:55.782)
absolutely, absolutely. And maybe this was editing, not much substance to any of these women. I know that they're very philanthrop, philamp, whatever. Thank you. I know they do a lot for charities and I have a lot of respect for that. I think that's lovely. However, they clearly do it for clout and for, you know, ins for certain parties. They're not, they're not.

Wendy (01:58.329)
Right?

Wendy (02:08.421)
They're philanthropists.

Wendy (02:20.132)
Yeah.

Wendy (02:28.131)
Yeah. So after I watched it, because I didn't do this before I watched it. After I watched it, now that's all that shows up on my social media. I wound up following all of them on We Wine Whenever. So that's going show up on our social media there too. Right. But what I think I concluded was, this is a lot of smoke and mirrors.

KELLI (02:37.39)
Absolutely.

KELLI (02:44.27)
Great.

Wendy (02:54.912)
What we just watched is not even partially true. It's so hard.

KELLI (03:03.214)
totally agree. even at the end, even at the end when Tasha was like, it used to be like you had to be on the island in Palm Beach to, you know, be part of that community, but now it's not. I mean, I've been to West Palm Beach. It's beautiful. It's amazing. If you own a home there, especially a home on the water, you clearly have a lot of money. Like, you know, so.

Wendy (03:12.58)
Right.

KELLI (03:32.81)
I agree with you, a lot of smoke and mirrors.

Wendy (03:35.931)
So I'm going to start out with kind of like a little intro about each person. So the first person we see is Hillary Musser. Hillary Musser is 60 years old. This is her 21st season in Palm Beach. She lives in a waterfront mansion across the water from Mar-a-Lago. She was married.

KELLI (04:01.858)
who, the way, should be another cast member, basically.

Wendy (04:05.467)
100%, Mar-a-Lago, yes, Mar-a-Lago is a cast member. She was married to billionaire Pete Musser, who was 39 years older than her. So that's pretty much all I know about that. He died in 2019 and she is currently married to Luke and that is her fifth husband. And she met him while she was at her favorite.

KELLI (04:09.037)
Yes.

Wendy (04:31.675)
in Amsterdam, Delarue, and he was the head doorman. Wait, what? Like...

KELLI (04:38.11)
Yeah, so obviously she and her billionaire husband had divorced. Now, is he the father of her son? Was that ever made clear?

Wendy (04:46.763)
I believe that was, I believe she said, and I have to look into my nose, I think she said that that was her second husband.

KELLI (04:55.446)
Okay, because I was trying to do the math. I think when she got divorced from her first husband, that's when she moved to Palm Beach, to whatever, West Palm.

Wendy (05:04.059)
No, no, no, no, because he died in 2019. So she, and this is her fifth husband.

KELLI (05:14.39)
Right, so she must have, when she divorced her first husband, I'm saying, she said she left Pennsylvania, wherever she lived, and came to West Palm because she didn't want to be known as so-and-so's ex-wife. She wanted to like start anew.

Wendy (05:29.242)
Yeah, but I don't know if it was him though, because she didn't make that clear. said that's when, I mean, I don't know if it was 21 years ago that she, 21st. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I don't know how long they were married for, right? Cause she's 60. She's 60 and she was, what was she, 22? Didn't they say that at the end, 22?

KELLI (05:37.23)
Well, she's been, this is her 20th season in Palm Beach.

KELLI (05:44.312)
So if she's 60...

KELLI (05:49.763)
Yeah.

Wendy (05:54.459)
So I don't know if the math is math-ing. Like, I don't know. I don't know how long they were married for.

KELLI (05:54.488)
Yeah.

So.

Right, right, right.

Wendy (06:03.279)
But either way, either way. when she's giving her thing, like I know this about her, right? She's saying that she's the premier real estate waterfront developer in West Palm Beach. she moved to Florida in 2005 from Pennsylvania after getting a divorce. So I have that written down. That's why she moved. So it was who that was. I don't know who that divorce was, right? She moved, But what she says is she considers her...

KELLI (06:21.686)
Okay, so we just don't know who that divorce was, if it was the right... Okay.

Wendy (06:31.671)
She never considered herself a socialite. She is self-made like her father. I wrote down, but she was married to a billionaire. So how is that self-made?

KELLI (06:42.614)
It's not. It's not. Yes, she is. She was not self-made. She married a billionaire 40 years older than her.

Wendy (06:44.681)
Like, are you that Delulu?

Okay, you're not a socialite. Billionaire. Right, right, right. Let me just call you out on that. Yeah, let me call you out on that, which Gail does call her out on, but we could call her out on that right now.

KELLI (06:57.144)
Self-made gold digger? Yes.

KELLI (07:03.458)
Yes. Yes, because, well, yeah, we'll get there, but one thing you can say about Gail, I mean, I'm not a big fan. I think she's the head of the Mean Girls, but what cousin Gina sent us, she clearly, I don't know if she came from money or not, Gail, but she can back up her success with the things she accomplished, for sure.

Wendy (07:16.846)
yeah.

Wendy (07:31.523)
Yeah, I think that she can. mean, she certainly has, what did she say, 70 pages on Google? 700, that's right. She only printed out, what, 20?

KELLI (07:38.862)
700, 700. I loved when Taja was like, I don't need to see that, I'm not hiring.

Wendy (07:48.087)
I know, I love that too. I love that too.

KELLI (07:52.174)
She's so funny.

Wendy (07:52.987)
So she's the first one that we meet and that she's hosting this party for this Florida race. It's the first time that this race has been in Florida. It's the Megilia, Miguel, I don't know how, it's some exclusive race. I don't know what it is. It's a car race, I guess.

KELLI (08:11.82)
Yeah, you know what, didn't even pay attention, because this was the first episode, so I was kind of seeing if I wanted to get into it, so I was doing other things, you know?

Wendy (08:12.163)
and it's a party.

Wendy (08:20.441)
Yeah, yeah. So it was an after party for this car race. Car race is a big deal. Listen, I know Formula One is a big deal. They didn't say Formula One. It's some other exclusive race.

KELLI (08:28.396)
Well, the thing is, and also in Florida, Key West, boat races are a big thing. And parties afterwards, you know?

Wendy (08:35.075)
Right. Right.

Wendy (08:40.187)
So then the next person we meet is Tasha. She's the next one to walk through the door there. She is 53 years old. She's the one who walked in with the red heart coat like Bronwyn had on Salt Lake City. And at this point, we don't know too much about her, but Hillary is saying that she's the spa queen. She has a mobile spa in New York, Palm Beach, and Miami. Okay.

KELLI (08:53.507)
Yes.

Wendy (09:06.445)
She moved from New York to Palm Beach six years ago. So that means this is her sixth season and is currently in a relationship with the former Yankees pitcher, David Cohn. She's also and has a son with him, but they're not married. They're just in a relationship, which actually we just found out may not be in a relationship anymore after this past weekend, but we don't know. It's kind of gray area. Right.

KELLI (09:12.206)
Mm-hmm.

KELLI (09:18.828)
and has a son with him.

KELLI (09:32.374)
Interesting timing. Yeah

Wendy (09:34.881)
And she is also friends with Teresa from Real Housewives of New Jersey.

KELLI (09:40.983)
Yeah, but we literally saw her for two seconds. So that's like a, to me, like that was a non-issue. Cause at first I'm like, ugh, I don't know if I want to watch it if she was in. And then she was literally in there for two seconds. And I don't know if you noticed, but at the end, at the end, the last scene when they're all at the table, she was there. Like she was standing there and the camera never went to her once. And I think that's amazing.

Wendy (09:44.858)
Yeah.

Wendy (09:55.151)
At the last party, yeah. Yeah.

Wendy (10:02.543)
Yeah. So the funny thing about the next person I've written down is Sue Bell, who's Hillary's friend. And I don't know why I wrote her name down. I just, when watching it, thought to myself, she's someone of importance. But I didn't, right, she looks like she's someone of importance, right? But she really, through this whole thing, didn't have a big part in it. And then just today, cousin Gina sent us this TikTok video that

KELLI (10:15.618)
she looks at.

Wendy (10:30.103)
Initially, Sue Bell was cast for a show that was being filmed, and it was called Gold. Right.

KELLI (10:38.062)
Palm Beach Gold, Palm Beach Gold. And it seemed as if this guy who was doing this video was a producer, right? Or had something to do with the production. Yeah.

Wendy (10:49.123)
He was involved in it, yeah. He was involved in it in some way, yes, yes. And this Netflix production company, Members Only, reached out to her and asked her to break her contract with Palm Beach Gold and to come to theirs and that she was going to be the lead cast member. Which really kind of blows my mind. She was not.

KELLI (10:53.742)
Mm-hmm.

KELLI (11:09.398)
Yeah, she was not.

If this is true, that's really messed up. But you know, like Andy says before every Real Housewives season starts, like we don't know who's gonna be a main cast member. You we were just texting about this with cousin Gina. Like we don't know who's gonna be a friend of, we have to film the season. So they could turn around and say that that's what happened. But this woman, this guy says that she really is.

the queen of Palm Beach, like what Gail claims to be, which obviously she's not because nobody ever heard of her other than Roslyn. Sue Bell probably is, and that's probably why they wanted her so bad.

Wendy (11:43.077)
Queen.

Wendy (11:58.927)
Yeah, I just find this whole thing so interesting, like as it's unfolding, as we're watching it, as other stuff is coming out. I don't know. I don't know.

KELLI (12:07.244)
Yeah, because my initial thoughts of Gail, obviously a very accomplished woman. I think she was one of the first female traders on Wall Street, right? Is that what she said? Yeah, I mean, that alone is a huge accomplishment. Like go no further, but she did go further and she did do a lot more. But my, just seeing her interaction with Rosalind, I'm like, so basically they did not ask Gail to be on this show. And Gail probably went to Rosalind and was like, listen,

Wendy (12:16.793)
Yes, yes, yes she did.

Yes. Yes.

KELLI (12:36.454)
I will gas you up. You gas me up. And I'll help you get into whatever she thinks she can get people into. I don't know. I think Roslyn brought her on the show and they did the whole thing about the passing the baton and which is probably not even a thing.

Wendy (12:53.401)
I don't know, like I said, watching this show was just, you know, I couldn't stop watching it and.

KELLI (12:59.918)
could not stop watching it. It was amazing.

Wendy (13:02.285)
And now that I'm analyzing it, yeah, now that I'm analyzing it, I think we just spent all this time watching a bunch of literal bullshit. mean, which is fine, because it was entertainment. It's entertainment, which is why we do this. Right? Right. Right, right. This is not a reality show. This is not a reality show. And listen again.

KELLI (13:12.046)
Absolutely.

I it what it is, fiction, call it what it is. I love fiction. Exactly. Not their reality at least.

Wendy (13:27.555)
No, listen, we always say that we watch these things because it's entertaining and it was entertaining. It definitely was entertaining, but...

KELLI (13:34.231)
It was definitely entertaining, probably because these women really don't know each other. They really don't know where the bodies are buried. So they're starting nonsensical bullshit with each other. And okay, I'm here for that. Again, as long as there's no private investigators involved, I'm good. And stop coming after people's husbands and kids. And they didn't go after anybody's husbands or kids. It was nice to watch.

Wendy (13:42.651)
you

Wendy (13:52.847)
Yeah. Well, not yet.

Wendy (14:00.067)
Yes, yes, but it is the first season, so who knows? Who knows?

KELLI (14:02.643)
I know, I know. It's never gonna be as good as this. Again.

Wendy (14:07.323)
Probably not. So then the next person we meet is Rosalyn Yellen. She's age 54. This is her fifth season. She's not invited to Hillary's party. So that's kind of how we meet her because according to Hillary, she spoke poorly about very influential people in Miami, in Palm Beach that were going to be at that party.

and they are also Hillary's close friends, so she didn't want that friction at this party.

KELLI (14:38.2)
We don't know who these people are, by the way. We were never showed them. We were never nothing.

Wendy (14:40.045)
No, just.

Wendy (14:45.529)
Right. So she is self-proclaimed a passionate philanthropist and she has taken it upon herself to help Romina and take her under her wing to be accepted into the Palm Beach society. Right.

She moved, yeah, so she moved five years ago with her husband. She also has five children, but her children are older and she moved after her children were grown and out. Like she was in Pennsylvania. We don't know this yet, but we find this out. She was, she's from Bucks County PA and she was a stay at home mom doing Zumba. She was a Zumba teacher. She was a dance teacher. She was, you know, she wasn't on Wall Street. She wasn't running businesses.

KELLI (15:34.828)
It wasn't high society.

Wendy (15:36.879)
She was not high society, which is fine, which is absolutely fine. Right.

KELLI (15:39.065)
which is fine, right. I text you and cousin Gina, the funniest part I found about this show was that she kept making such a big deal about what champagne she was drinking and a specific name. And I know champagne is the actual bot, like it's champagne and then there's other ones that are not, you know, whatever. But meanwhile, she had a bottle of Josh wine on her counter. I buy Josh wine. So,

Wendy (16:05.743)
Yeah, I know. Right.

KELLI (16:08.598)
Your taste can't be that eloquent if you're drinking the same wine I'm drinking.

Wendy (16:13.731)
Right, right. And listen, even as far as Champagne goes, it just means it was made in Champagne, France. It's just the region that it was raining. You know, like if...

KELLI (16:20.852)
Exactly! She was asking for a certain one. I forget. Yeah.

Wendy (16:25.293)
A brand, yeah. But even her and Gayle at another party were saying, don't want Prosecco. We want real champagne. Who cares? Like seriously, who cares?

KELLI (16:35.534)
Exactly, shut up.

Wendy (16:38.677)
So the next person we meet is Romina. cannot pronounce her last name. Yustavev, I don't know. She is 39 years old and she's new to Palm Beach. They call her the Kim Kardashian of Palm Beach. Don't get that at all. She looks nothing like Kim K. she said that and other people have said that I think. Yeah, no, yeah.

KELLI (16:55.672)
Did she say that?

KELLI (17:00.66)
okay.

Wendy (17:05.479)
So when we first meet her at Hillary's house, she comes in with long black curly hair, like that wet look, which I really do not like. I do not like that wet look hair. And she's got on this very tight red dress that's like all laced up. I thought, OK. And Hillary made a comment that that dress was inappropriate. But at this point, there was nothing she could do because she was already at her party.

So that was the first introduction to this girl. And the first thing that's said about her is that she's dressed inappropriately, which becomes a theme for her in all eight episodes.

KELLI (17:46.711)
I mean, at some point I would have been like, you can all go F yourselves. you know, yeah, she does, she does, she does. But then she apologizes for it after.

Wendy (17:53.391)
Well she does, finally! Finally she does.

Wendy (17:58.747)
It does take her a while. I know. know. And you know, the thing is, I was saying she's young, but she's not. I mean, she's 39 years old. She's the youngest there, but she's 39.

KELLI (18:10.414)
Yeah, mean, but the big thing is, and this is why I said about the white women with blonde hair telling the brown hair girls, like, Rosam wasn't even following the same rules she was giving Romina. Like, you can't show your boobs and your knees. Well, we saw her do that a couple of times.

Wendy (18:22.651)
Right.

Wendy (18:27.545)
Yes! Yes!

So what we find out about Romina is that she started a business with her brother. He was doing assisted livings, right? And she helped him out with that. Her father offered her money, and she took that money and went into business with her brother. And then they sold that business for many millions of dollars. I don't remember exactly how much. Yeah, a lot of money. So now...

KELLI (18:55.598)
I think it was like 42 million. Yeah.

Wendy (19:00.353)
She is an aspiring singer and a fashion designer. And she has three children and she's married to Roman, three sons. The next thing we see is that all the ladies are going into Hillary's closet. And this is really, honestly, this was what grabbed me when I saw Hillary's closet. Like all the glass front, know, all the names of the handbags and the shoes.

And just the, it's a lot. Like it was a lot. It was a lot. It was a lot.

KELLI (19:34.008)
yeah. Yeah.

KELLI (19:41.09)
I mean, I mean, it does seem like Hillary Roslyn Romina, like they have money.

Wendy (19:50.677)
Mm-hmm. They do have money.

KELLI (19:52.591)
To me, seems, mean, Tasha, obviously she's married to, or she's with an ex Yankee, but you know, the other ones are a little questionable. But I mean, whatever Hillary's doing in Palm Beach is working for her.

Wendy (20:02.809)
Well, I don't know.

Wendy (20:07.535)
Yeah, she definitely has money. like you said, Romina, we didn't get to see her closet until the very end. Her closet rivals Hillary's closet. To be quite honest with you, when I saw that closet, I was like, your closet is just as good as Hillary's.

KELLI (20:16.578)
Yeah. Yeah.

KELLI (20:21.742)
Yeah, I mean if she sold the business for 42 million and split it with her brother, she walked away with 21 million. She's... a multi-millionaire!

Wendy (20:27.961)
Right. Right. Exactly. Exactly.

KELLI (20:31.726)
I don't know what her husband does, but she's fine.

Wendy (20:36.089)
Yeah. And by the way, when they're in the closet, Romina wound up spilling her drink.

KELLI (20:43.022)
on Taj's jacket. The monster jacket. The Bugs Bunny monster jacket. That was so funny when Lori did that clip of the side by side with that jacket.

Wendy (20:45.197)
Antoj's red jacket. Exactly.

Wendy (20:57.793)
Yes, that was funny. So Taja says,

What did she say?

Hillary and Taja are in the penthouse and Romina and Maria are in the basement.

KELLI (21:17.56)
Maria.

KELLI (21:21.358)
That's fucked up.

Wendy (21:21.391)
I was like, that's not nice. Not nice. No.

KELLI (21:24.587)
No. No.

Wendy (21:29.359)
The next one we meet is Maria. Yeah, I didn't like that either. No, I didn't like that either. Then we meet Maria Cozumanis. She's 51 years old. This is her third season. Listen, I liked her story. She, and I liked how this is, this is what I liked about it. So she comes in with this curly hair and this floral dress.

KELLI (21:29.494)
I didn't like, that's what I mean. I don't like that at all.

Wendy (21:54.115)
And then we see her in her confessionals and it was a totally different person. Her confessional look with the bangs and the blue. I'm like, yes. She only had one. She only, they all, what was her other one?

KELLI (22:04.213)
yeah, very breakfast at Tiffany's. That confessional look.

No, she had two. She had two. The other one was very boobies, lots of boobies. And her hair, she kinda had like an 80s hair. Yeah, but that one was very breakfast at Tiffany's.

Wendy (22:19.195)
okay.

Wendy (22:23.802)
Okay.

Wendy (22:27.269)
But she didn't dress like that in any of the scenes we saw, ever. Never conservative like that. Never with her hair like that, never. So she said that she entered the scene, she came in the back door because she was a DJ at Mar-a-Lago. And people looked down on her until they found out that she had money. Now, I don't know exactly, I mean, she's married to Damon, he's a chiropractor.

KELLI (22:32.438)
No, no, not at all. No. No.

Wendy (22:57.384)
and also a fellow DJ. I don't know how she made her money, but...

KELLI (23:03.118)
She said it. She said what she did.

I wanna say something to do with the finance industry. She retired from that. She did say it in one episode and I was like, that's interesting. But unfortunately it wasn't interesting enough for me to write it down to remember. she had, or was it technology, maybe IT? It was something like, know, something that you wouldn't necessarily think like, shit, now she's a DJ, you know?

Wendy (23:10.021)
Maybe a.

Wendy (23:16.238)
Okay.

Wendy (23:29.977)
Maybe.

Wendy (23:37.743)
Right, right. Listen, I liked Maria. I do like Maria. I still like Maria. I think she's real. I think, you know, she doesn't forget where she came from. Unlike Rosalyn, because we're going to get to Rosalyn next. You know, she says that she was raised very humble and that she was only able to get something when it was 75 % off on clearance rack. And, you know, now she's living her fairytale in Palm Beach. But so then why is she so mean to others? Like, I...

KELLI (23:41.144)
Me too. Yeah.

KELLI (23:59.215)
Mm-hmm.

Wendy (24:07.321)
Like, I feel like she doesn't remember where she came from.

KELLI (24:12.044)
Roslyn? Yeah, not Maria.

Wendy (24:13.253)
Yeah.

No, Rosalyn, Rosalyn.

KELLI (24:17.334)
Yeah, so the thing with Romina and Maria, I thought, they kept leaving a conversation with certain people and then going to other people and saying, well, so-and-so just said this about you. Like, I feel like Maria and Romina did that the entire season.

Wendy (24:33.902)
Right.

Wendy (24:37.891)
Yes, they did. They did. I agree.

KELLI (24:39.694)
I mean, other than that, I thought Maria was great. I loved seeing the scene with she and her son. yeah, so Maria, think was from, was she from Boston or was she from Boston or was she from Philly? A couple of times they said Roslyn was from Philly, but she wasn't. Is Philly, it's in Fulham

Wendy (25:00.611)
No, she's from Bucks County. Rosalyn's from Bucks County. Yeah, Rosalyn's from Bucks County, which isn't far from Philly. It's not far. mean, it is in Pennsylvania because Romina knew her from there. She knew Rosalyn from Bucks County.

KELLI (25:16.076)
Right. Right. So she must, she must be from, maybe, yeah, yeah, I don't know.

Wendy (25:17.694)
Marie is from, Marie is from Philly. Marie is from Philly.

KELLI (25:23.222)
Okay. Okay.

Wendy (25:26.299)
which is a little edgier than Fox County.

KELLI (25:29.966)
It is, it is, mean, it's like, it's like us growing up in Brick and saying we're from Newark.

Wendy (25:37.943)
Yeah, exactly. Exactly.

KELLI (25:39.522)
We are not, we're from Brick. It's a very suburban area.

Wendy (25:42.361)
Yes, exactly. Yes. Yeah. And she met, that's where Romina met her was at the Zumba classes. She met her at Zumba. Like she knew her in Bucks County because she was a Zumba teacher.

She says that Romina's parents used Bekistan looking for a better life when she came when she was five years old. They had nothing. They had nothing when they came. She was on welfare. They were on food stamps. She lived on a couch. So her parents came over here and worked their butts off. And her father was a janitor, she said. All these things that he did, they are.

KELLI (26:25.72)
Yeah, like talk about self-made.

Wendy (26:27.885)
Right, she is self-made and that is the American dream. And that is why this country is the greatest country.

KELLI (26:29.794)
Yes. Yes.

Wendy (26:41.089)
Hillary asks, I thought this was interesting. Hillary sits down with Romina and asks her what's her story? How did she make her money? Now can you imagine if Romina said that to Hillary?

KELLI (26:56.96)
No, and that's the thing because Hillary's got this thing that she self-made and that she did this on her own, but now we know she married a billionaire and probably walked away from that marriage with quite a pretty penny. So no, it's not a nice thing to ask somebody. It's just intrusive.

Wendy (27:10.331)
Right. Right.

Wendy (27:15.354)
Right.

KELLI (27:19.458)
But the flip side is, the flip side is, Hillary probably knew that Romina truly was self-made, and maybe she figured, I'm gonna ask her so it gives her an opportunity to tell her story on camera, because it is impressive. I mean, it's probably not what her intention was, but.

Wendy (27:36.985)
No, definitely is. Right.

Yeah. Romina also said, because I'm just looking at my notes, she said people think that she's a trophy wife.

KELLI (27:52.322)
Yeah, so I wonder what her husband does. He must be successful in his own right, I would imagine.

Wendy (27:55.641)
Yeah, we don't know.

Wendy (27:59.973)
I would imagine so too.

So Romina's sitting down, and this is the thing that goes on throughout this whole season, is that Hillary thinks that she is the queen and Rosalyn thinks that she is the queen to be. So Romina's the newbie. Hillary gives her her advice what she needs to do. Rosalyn gives her advice what they need, what she needs to do. And both of them give conflicting advice about what Romina needs to do.

Right?

KELLI (28:40.846)
But they are both telling her to dress more appropriately, which I think is ridiculous because you're in Florida for crying out loud. I understand it's a Palm Beach, but you're not, you know, entering Congress or the White House. Like, it's Florida. No matter how you slice or dice it. It might be a more conservative area of Florida, okay, but I mean, they all had their boobs out.

Wendy (28:54.873)
Right. Right.

KELLI (29:10.912)
at one point or another. Well, not Hillary, but she probably should have once or twice at least. She was way too buttoned up, Hillary.

Wendy (29:17.871)
Ha ha ha.

Wendy (29:22.585)
Yeah, I'm not a fan of Hillary's. I wasn't to begin with and I wasn't at the end. I never, she never won me over, not once. I will say though, at the end Roslyn did win me over a little bit.

KELLI (29:30.027)
No, me neither.

KELLI (29:36.504)
Yeah.

Wendy (29:37.807)
but nothing from Hillary. I mean, I'm still not a huge fan of Rosalind's, at least she kind of spoke her piece, which I respect.

KELLI (29:42.24)
No.

KELLI (29:50.967)
Yeah, she spoke her piece. The weird thing of the whole season was Roslyn's interactions with Gail. They were weird. It was way too much. It was clearly performative. And it was an alliance. It was very clearly an alliance.

Wendy (30:01.04)
I mean.

Wendy (30:13.027)
It was so over the top. It wasn't even funny. I mean, every time Gail saw Rosalyn, she's walking around with the heart hands. I'm like, how old are we? What, we're doing heart hands?

KELLI (30:25.026)
Yeah, yeah, so I really think that Gail wanted on the show, wasn't getting on the show, and called Roslyn and was like, listen, you know, whatever I gotta do to help you, you help me, and that's what happened. Which makes sense as to why they wanted to court Sue, what was her name, Sue Bell?

Wendy (30:49.115)
Sue Bell, yeah.

KELLI (30:50.21)
Yeah. because she was clearly another, you know, OG in the, in the Palm beach community, but I don't know. It was weird. That whole thing was weird.

Wendy (31:01.667)
wonder what happened though with Sue Bell. Like why did she not get her spot? Because she was on quite a few episodes. I mean she was at Hillary's wedding.

KELLI (31:09.974)
She was, I mean, she was on the first episode of Hillary's House, right? At that party.

Wendy (31:13.369)
Yep, she was at Hillary's wedding, she was at the last of, she was on many episodes, but she was never a key player.

KELLI (31:22.368)
No. No.

Wendy (31:24.121)
And I just, wonder why, I wonder why.

KELLI (31:29.72)
Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. It's very interesting.

Wendy (31:33.793)
All right, so that was my recap of the first episode. The second episode.

was, will the real queen please stand up? And that was the launch party for the Palm events. And that's where Romina shows up in her black leather corset and red and white ruffled skirt. And the ladies are laughing at her behind her back saying that she's dressed inappropriately. And if she doesn't conform to Palm Beach standard, she will not be invited back.

KELLI (31:47.502)
You

KELLI (32:13.166)
You know, I thought she looked beautiful too. listen, I'm not a huge fan of pleather, it's just not my thing. But I think you could do it in a classy way. And if this woman is an aspiring fashion designer, she clearly has a creative mind. Just let her be her. You're not gonna invite her somewhere because she's wearing something that you don't like. It's silly. Because when she went.

Wendy (32:13.179)
I thought she looked beautiful.

Wendy (32:21.85)
Right.

Wendy (32:27.675)
That's what I said.

Right.

KELLI (32:40.738)
to dress shopping with Roslyn and Gail, some of the things she came out with, she was like, you're kidding me, right? Like, this is appropriate, but you're telling me the other things I was wearing weren't appropriate? Like, come on.

Wendy (32:54.383)
And even the thing that she wound up buying, that they told her how to modify it, that she wound up doing, and then Gail still said it wasn't right.

KELLI (33:01.588)
Right. And she's like, but the guy did it, like, as I was there.

Wendy (33:04.749)
Right. Right. Right.

I I just...

KELLI (33:12.972)
Yeah, I felt for her, man, this whole season. I mean, again, like I said, she was talking about people left and right, which I don't love that, but I guess, you know, when you're on a reality TV show, you probably feel pressured to do that.

Wendy (33:30.265)
Yeah, so then Maria talks about the whole situation in her confessional and she says that she thinks that Rosalyn has a more visible social presence and that Hillary feels threatened by that. Because Rosalyn has not been in Palm Beach as long as Hillary has because Hillary's been there. This is her 21st season. And the...

KELLI (33:53.528)
So Hillary might be jealous of that Roslyn's climb in that ladder quicker than she did.

Wendy (33:58.719)
Right, and I think Rosalyn is attributing it to Gail because Gail is the one who's bringing her into those circles. But the difference I really think is what's happening is that Hillary is not involved in philanthropy. She is not sharing any boards. She is actually working. She does have a real estate development company. She has three companies, actually.

She said she'd rather give money than plan events. It's just not her thing. And to be honest with you, I could see that in her. I don't want her planning events, because she doesn't smile. The woman never smiles. I mean, did you notice that? She doesn't smile.

KELLI (34:29.933)
Yeah.

KELLI (34:38.06)
Well, she doesn't get like she's got a resting bitch face. She doesn't have a game face. I, like I have no game face. If I'm feeling it, you're going to know about it. So I get that, but yeah, she can't fake it. we're Roslyn. think just all she does exactly. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah.

Wendy (34:53.723)
Oh my God, she's like the Cheshire Cat. Just smile, stop, just like, she's got some great whites, do we have to see them? Can we get some happy medium here between those two, right?

KELLI (35:07.766)
Yeah, like it's not all butterflies and rainbows all the time. It's just not. That's not reality. I don't care where you live. I don't care what your zip code is. It's just not.

Wendy (35:16.035)
Right, right.

KELLI (35:18.808)
So yeah, no, I get that, that she doesn't wanna plan it, but she throws money at the situation, obviously, so.

Wendy (35:26.915)
Right, right.

KELLI (35:28.718)
can't ignore that part. And she is a member of Mar-a-Lago. Gail is not.

Wendy (35:36.963)
Right, right, but Gale was at one point.

KELLI (35:38.434)
Gail says she's on pause, but that's not a thing.

Wendy (35:41.849)
Yeah, I think that that's, I'm curious, I didn't look it up, but I'm curious about what that whole situation is. So I guess she wound up getting divorced and she kind of lost a lot of her status, because supposedly she's living in an apartment or a condo.

which would explain why she doesn't have a full-time spot because where are they gonna film? All the filming, all the filming for this had to be in private residences because, or private clubs, because they do not allow filming in Palm Beach. So that right there tells you a lot, you know?

KELLI (36:03.52)
Exactly. Yeah.

KELLI (36:21.464)
You know what I was thinking? There's no way this show ever would have went on Bravo because of the Mar-a-Lago connection. I mean, really, it really, it really is another cast member. They talk about it nonstop. So Bravo, you know, Bravo wants nothing to do with that. So Netflix was like, we'll scoop that right up. And they are incredibly smart for doing so because I don't give an F about Mar-a-Lago.

Wendy (36:35.004)
definitely.

Wendy (36:43.674)
Mm-hmm.

KELLI (36:51.192)
But I couldn't stop watching this show.

Wendy (36:51.779)
No. Right. No, I totally agree. I totally agree. So Romina's talking to Maria and she's telling her that she was at Hillary's house the other day and that Hillary wants to be Romina's mentor also, even though Romina's already asked Rosalind to be her mentor.

KELLI (36:58.062)
Mm-hmm.

KELLI (37:18.336)
It's exhausting.

Wendy (37:19.099)
It is exhausting because what happens is Romina goes over to Hillary's house and she shows up wearing this pantsuit, like this purple, like silk pantsuit. And Hillary said to her, well, this is appropriate. Like this, you're wearing here is appropriate. Like what you showed up at my party was not appropriate. Like maybe I can help you. Again, all about the superficial and the clothing.

KELLI (37:45.644)
Right, right. These women have zero substance, but they're so overly concerned with what Romina is wearing.

Wendy (37:54.115)
Right, right. But I like this. This is what Maria said to her. She's telling Romina that people like Hillary like to compartmentalize and make themselves comfortable. So they try to identify what you are and who you are, and they try and put you in this compartment so that they can feel comfortable. And I thought to myself, you know what, Maria?

This is smart. Actually what she's saying is very smart. And she's saying it's their problem. It's not your problem. They want to define who you are and they want you. You cannot be your own person. You have to either be in this box or you have to be in this box. Either you're in or you're out.

KELLI (38:22.86)
Yeah, absolutely.

KELLI (38:36.706)
Right, right. And to be in, you have to be just like them. But really not just like them. Just what they say they are. Because Roslyn was contradictory to what she was telling Romina to do and dress and to what she was, you know.

Wendy (38:43.354)
Right.

No.

Wendy (38:54.351)
Yes.

Wendy (38:59.769)
Yeah, no, I totally agree. And honestly, like I said, I really like Maria's relationship with Romina. I really do think that they are friends. I think that that is a true friendship. I think that they may have met just because of the show, but I think that I'm okay with that though, because I mean, Romina's only been there.

KELLI (39:14.331)
yeah.

KELLI (39:17.71)
think we all just met because of the show, other than Maria saying she knew Roslyn back in Bucks County. Like, I don't think any of these women were hanging with each other. Maybe they saw each other at functions, but even at the end, somebody, I think it was Maria, was like, because you almost are under the impression that Roslyn and Taja really have been friends for a while, right, when the show first starts.

Wendy (39:25.849)
Right.

KELLI (39:43.32)
But at the end, Maria even makes a comment like, I don't know what this new found bond is, as if they just started hanging out.

Wendy (39:53.145)
Yeah. You mean Hillary and Taj. Hillary and Taj. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Hillary and Taj.

KELLI (39:57.113)
Hillary and Taj. I'm sorry, did I say Roslyn? Yeah, sorry. Hillary and Taj, yeah.

Wendy (40:03.375)
Yeah, so I don't know. I think that the dynamics in this whole group are a little bit effed up, to be quite honest with you. I think they're all, not all of them. I think that Hillary and Rosalyn are like battling to be the queen.

Wendy (40:27.547)
Throwing Gail Brophy in there is just like, well, that's an interesting twist.

KELLI (40:34.318)
Yeah, like I don't understand, mean, I don't know. I guess it's just a world I'll never be in, I'll never understand it, and that's okay. I'm okay with

Wendy (40:46.075)
I do want to see the book of legacy. you know, this is when, this is the episode. Well, there was a book. She did show up with a book. There was a book. I know, that's what I'm saying. I want to see what's in this book that she presented to her. I want to see what's actually in that book.

KELLI (40:50.51)
just think there is one. think that this...

KELLI (40:56.536)
Yeah, but that could have been any book. It could have been a photo album of her kids when they were little. You know what I mean?

KELLI (41:07.04)
I think that this is all just nonsense. And if it's anything, I bet you it's like a binder. Like, listen, when I was on the PTO in midstream school, I had a binder. I had a binder of all of the functions I chaired or I helped out with. That's probably what this is. This is probably Gail's binder of all her, you know, philanthropy work in Palm Beach. And that's amazing. But don't call it a legacy book.

Wendy (41:21.846)
You

Wendy (41:33.709)
Mm-hmm. Yep. Right. Right.

KELLI (41:34.979)
Like what is this? And this Rolodex, like honey, I haven't seen a Rolodex. I started working at a law firm, I was 22, it was 1996. I haven't seen a Rolodex since then. Nobody has a Rolodex anymore, so I don't know what your Rolodex says or does, but if it's anything, it's from 30 years ago, and those people are probably dead, and nobody really cares. Nobody cares.

Wendy (42:03.565)
Right, right.

KELLI (42:06.464)
I do feel bad for her because she's obviously living in the past, Gail.

Wendy (42:12.155)
Well, she's definitely living in the past. mean, she talks about how she won the Kentucky Derby. And just before she won the Kentucky Derby, her horse, MC Hammer called her and said, I want to buy that horse and I'll give you 10 million for it. And she said to MC Hammer, you can't touch this. was just like, wait, what?

KELLI (42:31.0)
Now clearly it was her husband's horse and MC Hammer called her husband and that conversation never happened. I'm just gonna go out on a limb and say that this conversation never happened between her, she and MC Hammer.

Wendy (42:35.939)
Right. Right. Right. Right. But that... Right.

Wendy (42:47.129)
No, listen, I'm here with you on that. And then she's like, well, once you win the Kentucky Derby, well, then you get to meet the Queen of England and the ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed. I'm like, wait, what? Like, I don't know. I just don't even know where she's getting these things from.

KELLI (43:09.399)
I know.

Wendy (43:09.659)
I don't know. I don't know. But when she physically handed her that baton, was, first of all, was laughing. And later on when they referred to the baton, I think it was Taj that said, what is she in a marching band? And I'm like, but wait, that was a relay race baton she passed. wasn't a marching baton. So I just like...

KELLI (43:25.784)
Exactly.

KELLI (43:31.02)
was. It was a relay race.

Wendy (43:37.935)
The more I think about it, I'm just... It's so stupid, right?

KELLI (43:38.485)
It's all so stupid.

Like we really need someone who has nothing to do with the show, who is somehow in the Palm Beach community to call us and tell us if any of this is real, because I'm calling bullshit.

Wendy (43:56.633)
No, I am too. am too. I mean, listen, I'm entertained by it, and I think it's hysterical, but this is where I stand with it. So then what else happens? After that...

KELLI (44:05.752)
Listen, you know who we need to call us? We need Siggy Flicker. Siggy Flicker, you are in this community. She lived at Mar-a-Lago during COVID. Siggy.

Wendy (44:12.283)
sticky.

We have to reach out to Siggy and see if she'll come on on the pod and help us figure this out because I don't know.

KELLI (44:21.358)
Call us.

KELLI (44:25.656)
You know, I was gonna get her book and read it, even though it's about, like, I believe it's about, like,

putting certain energy you put out to attract a partner, which I'm all set.

Wendy (44:43.443)
is that what it's about? she, right. She was the relationship guru, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

KELLI (44:43.512)
I don't need to do that. I think I, because she was like a relationship expert. Yeah. But I still think I'm going to order it and read it just to see what it's all about. but I have to be honest with you. I was going to do it. And then I she went on somebody's podcast. She went on all about the bullshits podcast. That's what it was. I think. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And then I was like, I'm not going to support her if she supports them. Cause they're ridiculous. it's a good idea. Great idea.

Wendy (45:01.519)
I know, I heard her, I heard her.

Wendy (45:07.493)
We'll just get it at the library where it's free. Just order it from the library. Yeah.

KELLI (45:13.282)
I will do that. I think I can literally get it on thrift books for like five bucks though, so I might just do that.

KELLI (45:23.586)
But yeah, Siggy, listen, hit us up, because we need to know the deets on the Palm Beach community, if any of this is real. And do you know Sue Bell, and do you know Gil?

Wendy (45:31.129)
Yeah.

Wendy (45:34.745)
she definitely knows them. She 100 % knows them. What she's gonna give up on them? I think she knows all of them. I think she knows all of them.

KELLI (45:37.486)
Do you know Hillary? Do know Roslyn?

Is Romina really dressing inappropriately?

Wendy (45:47.803)
So the next thing we see is back at Hillary's at her waterfront mansion. Every time we're at her house, it puts on the bottom of the screen, waterfront mansion.

KELLI (45:56.023)
It does do that. And did you notice that Rosalind is on the water as well? And I don't think it said that. I mean, okay, because...

Wendy (46:01.551)
Hers also says, no, no, it did. It did. It did. Rosalyn says it and Hillary says it. Maria's is on the water, but hers does not say waterfront mansion.

KELLI (46:11.118)
She's not on the water, Maria. Cause I paid very, no, I paid very close attention. Her yard backed up to someone else's backyard.

Wendy (46:13.623)
No, she is actually.

Wendy (46:21.743)
it did? I thought it was on like a smaller like canal, not like a like a lagoon, not an open waterfront.

KELLI (46:25.394)
No, Rosalind is on a...

do they call that? Lagoon? Roslyn's on a lagoon. She's got water in between her and another house. Hillary looks like she's bayfront.

Wendy (46:34.168)
A lagoon.

Wendy (46:43.813)
Well, think maybe intercoastal because Mar-a-Lago is on the other side.

KELLI (46:46.764)
Yeah, it's, yeah, so it's, mean, listen, in the real estate, in the contest of real estate, it's not oceanfront, no, but I mean, you don't, I don't think you want to be oceanfront in Florida, quite honestly, with those hurricanes. I don't think you want to be on the water, period, with the hurricanes, but in the contest of real estate, Hillary's winning, hands down.

Wendy (46:54.331)
It's not oceanfront, it's not oceanfront, but it is... right.

Wendy (47:09.338)
Yeah. Yeah.

KELLI (47:11.308)
I don't care if it's West Palm.

Wendy (47:13.303)
Also, every time we see them talking in their confessional, it tells us their name and their season. Did you notice that too?

KELLI (47:19.628)
Yes, how long they've been there. Which I think is, I mean, obviously if any of this is real, then that is important.

Wendy (47:22.425)
Right, their season. is her tw-

Wendy (47:29.307)
Right, if any of it's So, if any of it's real. So Luke is cooking dinner at Hillary's waterfront mansion and watching the interaction between the two of them and what is he cooking and like she's micromanaging it. Actually her in any interaction with any food is just very difficult to watch.

KELLI (47:32.206)
If any of us are ill.

KELLI (47:38.798)
Hahaha

Wendy (47:55.621)
But the producer asks her if she's a little bossy and she said, well, I've always been that way. Actually all the men, like that's what they expect from me. Like that's what they need is for me to tell them what to do. Like I never expected to fall in love with a doorman, but you know, so long as he can take care of himself and like, you know, I didn't need his money. have my own money. And so long as he is self, I'm like, yeah, okay.

KELLI (48:18.53)
She said as long as he works and covers his own expenses, which I did think was interesting. And listen, I don't blame her because like a housewife, I mean, I would be very concerned that somebody just wants to be with me for my money. And if he knew who she was, which being a doorman, the head of the doorman, I'm sure he was well aware of who she was. I would be cautious. So.

Wendy (48:25.892)
No, I don't either.

Wendy (48:44.417)
I'm sure there is a major prenup involved.

KELLI (48:45.663)
I'm not gonna move you from Amsterdam to West Palm for you to come live with me and you're not gonna work, get a job. You don't have to be a doorman.

Wendy (48:52.985)
I don't think he's working. I think his job is taking care of her and making her dinner. I mean, he was very good in the kitchen.

KELLI (48:57.516)
Well, but yeah, for sure. But she did say as long as he works and covers his own expenses. So I am curious as to what he does.

Wendy (49:04.557)
Yeah, but I doubt he works outside of that house. I mean, did you see him and his interaction with her son? And I think his job is running that house, to be quite honest with you. That's his job.

KELLI (49:12.78)
Yeah.

KELLI (49:18.092)
Yeah, he did go with her to one of the properties, but he was like flying a drone inside. I was a little concerned about that. I'm like, if that drone breaks glass, a glass window, like.

Wendy (49:31.707)
Ahem.

KELLI (49:33.112)
So he did seem like a big kid, which most of them are.

Wendy (49:37.979)
I think all of them are.

KELLI (49:39.818)
All of them are.

Wendy (49:44.667)
So the next thing we see is Rosalyn is having her high tea event. And she obviously invites Romina there and Gail. And Rosalyn shows up with this huge pink flower fascinator, along with her big floral gown. just, I cracked up when, Romina shows up with her cute little dress and her yellow fascinator and.

Romina says to Rosalyn, oh my gosh, I love your jewelry. And Rosalyn says, this is high-end costume jewelry. I was like, okay. Okay, Rosalyn, okay. And the hat is cokin'. And Romina's like, oh, mine's Amazon.

KELLI (50:32.942)
Yeah

Wendy (50:35.247)
was like, yes, Rowena. And she looked great. She looked great. And Rosalyn said, I can tell. She said, I can tell.

KELLI (50:35.938)
And it was adorable. It was adorable. Yes, she did.

KELLI (50:44.674)
Yeah, bullshit, Roslyn. Josh drinkin'.

Wendy (50:48.293)
But then Rosalyn goes on to say, know, Koken in New York, they've made hats for movie stars. I'm like, my God. Then Gail shows up also with this big large hat and greets Rosalyn and they have their little love fest. And she's like, my hat's from Koken also. And her dress was a Marcus dress. I don't know if you remember, but Marcus is the designer that was at Rosalyn's house when she had...

KELLI (51:03.054)
Mmm.

Wendy (51:17.081)
Romina come over to show her dresses. So that's their designer. Marcus is their designer. I was like, my God. Now are we giving like, are we giving them credits? more, okay, now is he getting paid? I hope so. I hope so.

KELLI (51:18.355)
right, right, right, right, right.

KELLI (51:31.776)
yeah, for sure. You know, I think the thing that bothers Rosalind and Gail the most is that Romita is not impressed by any of this. She's just not. They are, but she's not. And she's got money. She's a multimillionaire. So the fact that it doesn't impress her, I think drives them nuts.

Wendy (51:41.723)
No.

Wendy (51:48.549)
Right.

Wendy (51:55.619)
I think so too, because the thing that happens next, it just actually proves it. So Roslyn introduces Romina to Gail. She's like, she's my inspiration. She's my queen. And Romina goes over to hug Gail. And Gail says, I love your dress. And Roslyn looks at her. She's like, Roslyn said, you look good today. Thank you for making me proud. And then a few minutes later, they're sitting there. And Romina says to Gail, I'm sorry, what was your name again? I almost.

fell over. was like, this is her queen. This is your mentor's queen. There's only three of you there. You already know Rosalind. Right, you already know Rosalind. Even if you did forget her name, you're gonna ask her right now on camera. I literally laughed out loud. I'm like,

KELLI (52:35.576)
There's only two people there. You know her name.

KELLI (52:46.208)
Yeah. Yeah. Nuts. That was nuts.

Wendy (52:52.377)
This is the stuff that kept me watching it. was like, can't, I feel like Romina is so effing with them. I do, I feel like she is.

KELLI (53:00.342)
And the best part about the whole thing was Roslyn's reaction. She was like, you forgot her name.

Wendy (53:04.707)
Mortified! She was mortified!

Exactly! After she just said, made me so proud.

Wendy (53:15.835)
I literally like this is what this is

KELLI (53:19.18)
telling her she was too loud in the bathroom at Mar-a-Lago, like, I think it was at Mar-a-Lago, right? Some kind of charity event. She was in the bathroom for crying out loud. Like, who's judging her in the bathroom? Like, let a girl live.

Wendy (53:23.223)
Right. Yes. Yes, some kind of chair.

Wendy (53:30.768)
I know.

Wendy (53:34.829)
I know, I know. And even, know, even Romina's like, I'm sorry, like, that's just my voice, that's who I am. And she's like, well, you're gonna have to, like, you can't be that way. You're gonna have to change. I'm like, can you imagine if, like, you know my husband, he's like the loudest person I've ever met. Like, he cannot be.

KELLI (53:57.263)
When Eric and I first started dating, Eric's whole family would be like,

Wendy (54:03.845)
To you.

KELLI (54:04.45)
Like, yeah. I'm like, listen, I'm sorry. I talk loud. If you don't talk loud in my family, nobody hears you. Cause we are all talking over each other. I was on a three-way call with my sisters last night. I have no idea what we talked about. I only know the end result was that we're going to dinner for my father's 80th birthday next Saturday. What happened in the middle of that conversation? I don't know. We were all talking at the same time.

Wendy (54:06.481)
there's what you were left.

Wendy (54:20.987)
Hahaha

Wendy (54:28.219)
There you go.

Wendy (54:36.089)
Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, they are, that's it. Some people are just loud and she is loud. You could tell she's loud. It's just who she is. She can't help it. It is who she is. And I think it's actually, I think it's endearing. I do, I think it's endearing. But I'm not in Palm Beach. So the next thing that happens after, this is again, so funny. After they school her for being loud in the bathroom, Romina says, I'm dying. Can we play a game so I can get to know you?

KELLI (54:38.232)
Some people are just loud.

KELLI (54:43.958)
Yeah. No.

KELLI (54:49.046)
Me too! Like, leave her alone!

Wendy (55:06.253)
Okay, we know from Housewives, these games never go well, ever. Don't play games. So the woman next to her, guess it's Cheryl, starts talking about how she moved down there and it was COVID. The only thing I wrote down after that was Romina said COVID was a blessing. everyone was like, Gail's like, we lost many lives. was like, Romina.

KELLI (55:11.278)
Don't play a game. Don't play a game.

KELLI (55:33.901)
Yeah, that, I understand what she was saying. Like I do think that COVID got people to pause and be like, okay, what's really important here? And maybe they did move locations, because the city was too much, too much pressure and whatever. But yeah, when she said that, I'm like, my God, like we know so many people who lost their lives, so.

Wendy (55:36.079)
like shit.

Wendy (55:40.527)
I know.

Wendy (55:49.252)
Right, right.

KELLI (56:02.734)
Not the best way to put it.

Wendy (56:06.553)
Right, exactly, exactly.

So the next thing we see in this episode is Taja thinks that Rosalind and Hillary need to talk because Hillary didn't invite Rosalind. So Taja and Rosalind are sitting at the restaurant waiting for Hillary to arrive for lunch so that they can have this conversation. 45 minutes after they're sitting there, they finally decide to order. And then Hillary rolls up with her tracksuit on and her ball cap.

And with her company, yep, with her ball cap. Right. And Taj is like, I feel responsible because, I got you two together and Hillary came in hard. She came in hard. Like she did not come to make up. She came to marker territory. That's what she came to do.

KELLI (56:42.53)
with her company.

In the car with her company on it. Yeah

KELLI (56:57.676)
Yeah, she did.

KELLI (57:03.243)
Mm-hmm.

Wendy (57:06.745)
And Rosalind kind of just sat there and took it to be quite honest with you. Yeah.

KELLI (57:10.776)
She did, she really did. Again, it's that smile and wave mentality.

Wendy (57:17.093)
Yeah.

So they kind of end with, know, we're not going to be friends. We're not going to have sleepovers, but we need to be civil. And Rosalyn says, listen, I just really would like you to judge me based on what you see of me, not rumors and lies and gossip. And they kind of agree to that. And that's that. And I'll be honest with you, this is only episode two and we're at an hour. So I'd say we probably should just end it. Yeah.

KELLI (57:46.966)
Yeah, yeah, I think an hour's good.

Wendy (57:49.955)
Yeah, and then when we get to do the next two, we'll do the next two. But like I said, I like it. I do like it.

KELLI (57:58.467)
I like it, I really hope it comes back for a second season with the same people, same players. I just think it's gonna be different. I think that they're gonna get a lot of attention from this and it's gonna change things.

Wendy (58:15.673)
yeah, definitely. I mean, it always does. It always does change things.

KELLI (58:18.776)
Well, somebody always wants to be the breakout star, so, you know. We'll see. We'll see. But I enjoyed it. I couldn't turn it off.

Wendy (58:27.725)
Yeah, so it.

Wendy (58:33.155)
No, I agree. So we'll let our listeners know we're gonna do it now that we know how long it took me to go through two episodes. I mean, I did go into, I didn't go into too many details, but I mean, these were things that I found interesting and funny, you know? So if you guys are enjoying this, let us know. Let us know if this is something you want us to continue with. I did start watching Mary's cult documentary. Did you start that?

KELLI (58:58.689)
No, but I might tonight.

Wendy (59:00.791)
Okay, so we are definitely gonna talk about that. That's three episodes. I've started, I've done like an episode and a half. Boy, that's gonna blow your mind.

KELLI (59:04.387)
Yes.

KELLI (59:12.974)
