"You&amp;#x27;ve already met the ladies of Bravo&amp;#x27;s newest show, Ladies of London, and you&amp;#x27;ve gotten an early glimpse into their world a.k.a. British society. And now tonight another, new episode that digs even further is airing (10 P.M./9 P.M. CT, to be exact), so to prepare you, I sat down with Caprice and Noelle to chat about what to expect and more. Tune in! I loved the first episode, but it was mostly introductions. What can we expect to see the rest of the season? Caprice: I think what&amp;#x27;s incredible about this show is that everyone is really so different. Everyone has careers&amp;amp;#8212;some do better than others, but there&amp;#x27;s a commonality there. Noelle: [We&amp;#x27;re] all smart and switched-on and different. I think you also get to see British society&amp;amp;#8212;other shows, you don&amp;#x27;t get to see that. It&amp;#x27;s kind of unprecedented that you would have such a look into British society, which I think is part of the reason why Brits are gagging for it as well. Caprice: Maybe the show will be massive for two or three years&amp;amp;#8212;but right now, London is on trend. It&amp;#x27;s really interesting with the show because you really see the cultural difference. I think people are intrigued by it. What&amp;#x27;s been the feedback from the Brits? Noelle: It&amp;#x27;s funny, I think women in British society are all secretly excited to watch it. Caprice: Oh, they&amp;#x27;re gagging for it! And if they say they aren&amp;#x27;t, they&amp;#x27;re liars! Noelle: I was at a very well-known hair salon where a lot of the women go, and the promo had come out. They were having people in the States send it to them to watch! This woman had watched it before I&amp;#x27;d even watched it. Talk about cultural differences... [To Caprice: You know how they knock you down for wanting to improve your life and hustling?] Having ambition in London, that&amp;#x27;s a bad thing&amp;amp;#8212;but in America, that&amp;#x27;s the dream! Caprice: [In America], we&amp;#x27;re all about women in business and hustle and to do better for ourselves and our family. We come out of our mother&amp;#x27;s stomach saying, &amp;quot;I&amp;#x27;m going to rule the world!&amp;quot; But in England, they think, Oh dear, that&amp;#x27;s a little bit aggressive. [Laughs] Noelle: That&amp;#x27;s the beauty about being here [in America] the past couple of days. There&amp;#x27;s respect for wanting to improve your life, whereas over there... Caprice: We don&amp;#x27;t care, though. People can say whatever the hell they want. We&amp;#x27;ve got our numbers on paper, and I don&amp;#x27;t care. What&amp;#x27;s the biggest difference you notice when you come back to the States? Caprice: It was quite scary to have these cameras on you 24/7, and you have years and years of building your reputation and it could all go away in one second. But Bravo, they&amp;#x27;re very good about capturing reality and don&amp;#x27;t do any manipulation. I&amp;#x27;ve encountered a lot of love and support [in the United States]. In England, they don&amp;#x27;t do that. You have to really work for people to say something like, &amp;quot;Well done.&amp;quot; It&amp;#x27;s still sort of a man&amp;#x27;s world. So you get a woman in business, and a woman who doesn&amp;#x27;t look like chopped liver? Forget about it&amp;amp;#8212;the stereotype just stays with you forever and ever. In America, [the love] has just been unbelievable. I&amp;#x27;m not used to this! Noelle: I know, isn&amp;#x27;t it so nice? Caprice: It&amp;#x27;s so nice! I mean, my ego and head keeps getting bigger and bigger! [Laughs] Noelle: Finally, I&amp;#x27;m not getting a hard time about trying to do good things. In Britain, if you rise just a little bit too much out of where you came from, they&amp;#x27;ve got to cut you down. Caprice: It is a cultural thing. We both love England, and it&amp;#x27;s given me opportunities. My life is the way it is because of England, but they love building a star. They love building you up, and then when you&amp;#x27;re at the top, they want to cut you. They love doing that. They keep on cutting, but then they love the build again. In America, they aren&amp;#x27;t as ruthless and, more than anywhere, they love a comeback story. They live for a feel-good story. They&amp;#x27;re very vocal about it here, which I love. What was it like filming the show? Noelle: A lot of us were very cautious about going into it. We&amp;#x27;re all concerned about how we&amp;#x27;re going to be portrayed. We don&amp;#x27;t need a reality show&amp;amp;#8212;we had our own lives going on&amp;amp;#8212;so we don&amp;#x27;t need to be in the papers more. None of us were going in saying, &amp;quot;I&amp;#x27;m going to cause a ton of drama!&amp;quot; Well... Caprice: Oh, no, we won&amp;#x27;t go there. You&amp;#x27;ve got to watch the show for that! Noelle: I know that for me&amp;amp;#8212;because the British press is so intrusive&amp;amp;#8212;it was learning to be open, which I suppose is also part of being on a reality show. What were some favorite moments? Caprice: I think the favorite moments for me were the friendships that I built that probably never would have happened if I didn&amp;#x27;t do the show. They&amp;#x27;re real friendships. Noelle: I agree, there&amp;#x27;s real friendships. I have a pretty tough time in the first episode, so it was emotional. It was sort of disappointing and hurtful reliving that and seeing that. For me, the best part that I got out of [the show] was...I grew up where confrontation was not OK and you didn&amp;#x27;t address issues, so I had no skills to handle confrontation. I learned that [on the show], and that&amp;#x27;s something that&amp;#x27;s carried on into the rest of my life and has improved my life. Caprice: I even address that in the show quite a few times. You have a really tough time, and you&amp;#x27;re still working through it, I think. You&amp;#x27;re not there yet. When I first met you, you were closed off and protective because you&amp;#x27;ve been burned. But as I got to know Noelle, I thought, &amp;quot;You know what? This is a totally different human being.&amp;quot; You&amp;#x27;ll see how it progresses from there. Noelle: It was very emotional for me that somebody I just met on the show was standing up for me, and my other friends that I had known for a very long time were judging me. And that plays out on national TV, so that&amp;#x27;s... Caprice: Watch and see! [Laughs] Noelle: But we&amp;#x27;re strong. There&amp;#x27;s good and bad in being a part of this, and you can&amp;#x27;t just say I&amp;#x27;m going to take all of the good. It&amp;#x27;s a journey. Caprice: Because of that, it&amp;#x27;s going to be a great show. Noelle: I am pretty proud of my behavior, so that helps as well, I guess. Caprice: More than anything, TV can capture lies. If you want to pretend that you&amp;#x27;re something else, the TV will get it. You will not come across as compelling or genuine, and the audience won&amp;#x27;t like you. At least in the first season&amp;amp;#8212;if we have a second season, we&amp;#x27;ll see what happens&amp;amp;#8212;you&amp;#x27;re going to see a lot of genuine behavior. Everybody always asks if the fights were scripted, but these are real conflicts. These are real moments. Noelle: You get cameras around and it gets more intense, I think. Caprice: But in a very refined way. [Laughs] Noelle: There&amp;#x27;s no throwing of glasses. Caprice: At least not yet. Tune in to Bravo Mondays at 10 P.M/9 P.M. CT to catch new episodes of Ladies of London! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
