The wait is over.

Gossip, gowns, excess, and relatability? All of Sydney’s finest will be on display when the Real Housewives of Sydney finally makes its long-awaited return.

“People have a lot of perceptions about who we are,” returning cast member Krissy Marsh told The Daily Telegraph.

“We’re more relatable than people might expect. I didn’t wake up with money. A lot of the topics that came up while filming are very relatable: issues that arise in friendships, with children, juggling husbands, home and work. I get fired up about stuff like that.”

Marsh added that her daughter dressed her in the stunning Alexandre Vauthier green gown for the show’s launch party.

“I love to recycle,” Marsh said, “but my daughter wouldn’t let me tonight.”

The second season of RHOS has been a long time coming, six years since the first incarnation hit television screens here and abroad.

Nicole O’Neil, who also returned from season one, said “you can expect to see a lot more of me as a mother transitioning to empty nesting.”

The seven Real Housewives donned their finest to toast themselves at Point Piper’s Royal Motor Yacht club, ahead of the much anticipated series premiere on Binge on Tuesday.

Veteran TV host and business owner Sally Obermeder is one of the high profile new cast members, as is style queen Terry Biviano.

“I signed on for two reasons,” Obermeder said. “Life is about experiences and I wanted people to see a different side of me. I’m pretty raw and real.”

The women are back for season two.

Asked why she signed onto the show, Biviano joked: “I ask myself that question every day.”

“Honestly, I was at a moment in my life where I thought, why not?”

As for what Biviano hopes we’ll get out of the series: “I hope people see a group of very strong, opinionated, diverse women that can still be friends, have a good time and also deal with real issues”.

“You see us going through the normal stuff that everyone else goes through. Maybe just in a more glamorous way,” she added.

Bondi vet Kate Adams said the two months of filming was “pretty intense”.

The new cast member initially didn’t think she’d have much in common with the group, being “reasonably academic,” without a husband or children.

“I unexpectedly loved Terry Biviano,” Adams said. “I didn’t know that we’d have anything in common, but I just love her. She’s got integrity, and she’s honest.”

None of the women wanted to give away too much about the disagreements that will play out. “But put it this way,” Adams said, “I’m not a mushroom on the side.”
