Melbourne Housewives Episode 3

So the girls are stirring it up again -- or maybe it's just Janet, Janet, Janet and Janet. 


Chyka tells Lydia she had no idea that the rumors about Gamble involved a supposed past as a call girl and stripper. She thought the 'gossip' about Gamble concerned a lawsuit involving Gamble's ex. She was shocked when Janet disclosed to Gamble that people were saying Gamble had been a call girl, a stripper and had hosted "sex parties." Lydia is wide-eyed for having not heard any of it (good for you, Lydia).

Jackie's Wine


Meanwhile, Jackie can't pronounce the name of her own wine, much to her husband's dismay. As an international rock star, he counsels her endlessly (and fruitlessly).  

Janet takes Jackie's lead in mispronouncing the name of Jackie's wine. Psychic Jackie tells us Janet's vibes are sad and predicts that `Gamble will be very hurt" by the gossip (that Janet has been spreading).

Janet blames Chyka for bringing up the rumors about Gamble then invites Jackie to play golf.

"I've never gone to a court and played golf," protests Jackie, in perhaps the most uninformed (and charming) golf comment ever. Jackie dances while confetti falls around her.

Pettifleur's Paid Friend Charlie


Pettifleur tells us about a woman named Charlie:  "She is a friend of mine. She does my eyebrows." Charlie the eybebrow friend is apparently also a writer. She is helping Pettifleur and Pettifleur begins to tear up "because I'm talking about me" and then describes herself as "dull, defeated, tired--"

Just then, Charlie interrupts Pettifleur to add her own observations about Pettifleur's disposition: 

"Soulless!" Charlie adds, perhaps a bit too eagerly. Pettifleur agrees -- she is soulless and her book will be a best seller around the world. 

Public Disagreement at the Chadstone Style Runway Show


Janet and Gamble have a good public scrap at the Style Runway Show in Chadstone. "I was feeling a little apprehensive" says Janet, in the understatement of the year. Apparently Gamble isn't pleased that Janet shared the rumors that Gamble was a stripper, call girl and host of sex parties. 

In a rare moment of dramatic clarity, Gamble observes "I know the name of the people who are starting these rumors: Janet, Janet, Janet and Janet." 

"I've apologized about 19 times," says Janet, who hasn't actually apologized, but then she does apologize. 

"I don't want your apology. Keep your bullshit to yourself," says Gamble. 

Lydia Counts Cards


Meanwhile Lydia attempts to learn to play poker for an upcoming fundraiser. She confesses her grandfather taught her to count cards, which elicits raised eyebrows from the poker table. Anything for charity?

The Wolf Comforts


Gamble says Wolfie is very comforting. "I  remember when he was lasering my eyes, I felt very calm. He spoke to me the whole way through it," she gushes.

Melbourne's Elite


Janet meets up with a woman named Manuela. (Will nobody film with Janet now?) Janet claims Manuela is "Melbourne's Elite" and tells Manuela that Chyka started the gossip conversation with Gamble. (Again with this?) 

"That's not like Chyka!" protests Melbourne's Elite, who has also heard the rumors and cackles, "You and I own this town honey."


Gina to the Rescue


Barrister Gina and Gamble have dinner. "I'm only allowed one meal today" says Gamble, who orders carrots.

Gamble denies being a stripper, pole dancer and call girl while Gina grills her like the crack Barrister she is. "The worst thing you can say is that I'm queen of the sluts," Gamble admits.

Gina offers to confront Janet, knowing it may ruin her friendship with Janet and also knowing that Gamble is getting a raw deal.

Stay tuned for more drama. Can't wait for more Gina, please, or as the Aussie ladies say it, Geenar.
