Bravo's new show 'The Real Housewives of Dubai' has finally debuted and has successfully delivered a dramatic TV series premiere. If the premiere episode was any indication of how the Bravo series is going to progress, we're in for quite the ride. 

The inaugural season featured six housewives and their ultra glamourous, lavish lifestyle. Among them, fans were already familiar with Caroline Stanbury who previously appeared on another reality show 'Ladies of London'. However, fans were surprised to see another familiar face as well, Lesa Milan. Lesa was a cast member of BET’s 'College Hill' from 2008 to 2009. 'College Hill' was an uncensored reality series that documents life for a group of diverse students as they attempt to live under the same roof. In the series, Lesa was a diva and a pageant queen who always wanted a fabulous life.
