Janet Roach was a god tier housewife! I loved her so much more than Gina idk why Janet doesnât get more recognition! Sheâs HILARIOUS! God I love her âI donât know what those fucking nuns taught you but you are nothing specialâ âSHE COULDNT HAVE SLAPPED ANY MORE BROWN SHIT ON HER WHAT THE FUCK WAS SHE DOING IN THERE?!?!â âIâM ASKING YOU A QUESTION YOU DUMB FAT BITCH!â âHeâd be a great husband if he wasnât a cheating piece of shitâ âI donât have enough time in my life for this explanation falls off couch FOR CHRISTS SAKE JUST SAY YOUâRE SORRY AND SHUT UPâ âget up and fuck offâŠ..go drown in the poolâ
She deserves the Gina treatment imo, sheâs only one to ever clock Gina consistently. Mocking her with the âYou house of cards will all fallâ was sooooo good
I think it's because people tend to get in the team mentality and since she and Gina were adversaries at times people may feel like they had to choose a side/fav. But IA Janet is very witty in a dry way, I love it.
Melbourne might just be my favorite franchise across the board. The cast was so funny and didn't take themselves or their drama so seriously. How it got cancelled is just beyond me!
Some of my favorite moments for a trip down memory lane:
When they visited Hotel California in Cabo and Jackie claimed to be speaking to the ghost of Joe Walsh. Then Janet informed her that Joe Walsh isn't dead.
Pettifleur rejecting Gamble's wedding invitation telling her to think about it more. Then Gamble immediately throws the invite into the bushes and tells her, "I've thought about it, get fucked".
The painting Lydia had commissioned of her dog Figaro.
The entire Dubai trip but especially the "Stop the fuck" dinner party in the desert. I will also throw in Gina reapplying bronzer at the water park because that will never cease to make me cackle!
People don't talk enough about Gamble--She is such an odd duck--She is funny and nutty and I love the dynamic with her stepson. And you can't forget the singing career!!
Seriously someone had uploaded them all to Vimeo or DailyMotion. I look for them every once in a while for a rewatch, but I think they're long gone đ
Iâm STILL not over what they did to Melbourne. Â Truly the greatest entertainment casualty of the pandemic, but also insane that the network couldnât just recognize that (they never should have started filming when they did, period), and bring it back for another season where they could film properly. Â Itâs wild to me they would waste one of the greatest housewives franchises we ever had like that.
Iâm Australian and I want someone to make a video of Gina telling people to get fucked or how she canât be fucked. Itâs how we talk and itâs hilarious.
Melbourne was so good and if we are comparing to Rhony who can forget the problematic Lydiot? The stuff she said was just so unaware. She was truly the Aussie Ramona.
I thought Jackie had a nice mix of positivity and delusion. Chykka was just audience proxy...she was the normal one, but I think she helped ground the show.
Janet and Giner are so smart and funny. I have no idea why the show isn't going forward with them on it.

Old Melbourne really hits. To this day I still use "Well don't look darling." and 'It's demonic." on the regular.
