Jackie starts to cry about being the victim again. She quickly stops and starts talking about how Laura doesn’t want Jackie to be friends with anyone. I personally don’t think Laura gives two shts about who Jackie is friends with this season.

Brooke brings up the dark skinned daughter and Jackie says that she never had a problem with it, but that Ta’kari always had lower self-esteem. (Because the treadmill running wouldn’t have done that to her… it’s gotta be the skin.) Brooke was happy to hear that… Brooke needs to do some research. But instead, Brooke thinks Laura is being conniving. (Okay, she is… but it’s still Jackie’s fault.)

 I look ‘real’ stupid.

Yeah, but I look ‘real’ shiny. 

 And we’re both ‘real’ black.

Jackie brings Doug some iced tea while he’s playing basketball. They sit down and talk about the fact that Chani may be staying in Seattle and Jackie isn’t too happy. Doug says that maybe the reason she puts distance between herself and Jackie is because Jackie is too controlling. Jackie doesn’t agree. Doug does a little tap dance to end the conversation.

Jackie brings up Malaysia’s 80s themed skate party and wants Doug to go with her as Bonnie and Clyde, “because that’s an 80s thing”. (No idiot, it’s not… but please wear that costume anyway.) Doug isn’t interested (unless he can be Bonnie) and again, he sashays his way out of that conversation too.

They talk about Jackie (read, VH-1) being invited to  NY’s Fashion Week. I am floored. I thought Fashion Week was supposed to be the be-all end-all in fashion… or close enough… but Jackie’s tragic designs? Oy vey. Jackie brings up whether she should bring Laura along with the other girls and I could care less. Even though I know she does bring her and I’m v happy about that.

 I wonder if he’s a ‘real’ man?

So what… I wonder if you’re a ‘real’ man. 

Jackie asks Malaysia to go to a nasty fabric store with her to pick out some fabric for a design that she must have. Malaysia is wearing her ridiculous glasses and taking it all seriously. Jackie yammers on about how important this is to her. (While wearing a hideous dress.) Jackie wonders if she should bring Laura, and even Skittles-for-brains, Malaysia says it may not be a good idea.

 This place is ‘real’ classy.

Jackie interviews that “fashion is her passion”… She asks Malaysia to help host the pre-party, but then someone it gets changed that Malaysia is going to walk in the show, wearing something fabalas (that’s how she says it “fab-a-las”).

 Those bangs are ‘real’ bad.

 Double whammy, those glasses are ‘real’ bad.

Malaysia and Bambi are invited to meet with a friend of Malaysia’s who actually does something positive for kids. He has a program where kids can play basketball as long as they keep their grades up. He provides basketball games and tutors. I immediately decide that I want Bambi to tutor me in English and Malaysia to tutor me in Math.

    I’m so irritated by how two-faced they’re all acting. They ALL talk about Jackie. Laura is the only one who repeat what she says to her face! Laura is the only one that is being [mostly] honest. I used to think Brooke was too, but now she has quickly jumped onto the ‘Laura is a bully’ wagon & taken one of the lead positions! I’m so confused by this. Wasn’t Jackie hated by EVERYONE like 2 or 3 episodes ago?!

    Madelyn (have I ever told you that I reeeeaaaly wanted to name my 2nd daughter Madelyn…did not have one so I have been lobbying for a bit for one of my kids to give me a GRANDDAUGHTER (helllloooooo) to name her Madelyn. (P.S. and she has to have red hair))) Did I put one too many parenthesisesei there.
    I’ve had a couple of beers…

    Loved your recap. Laura needs to put everything on the table with Jackie. Jackie, while looking pathetic also gets the sympathy votes since she is trying to repent and move on.

    lol, you guys don’t know about Jackie getting a female director fired from the Sac. Kings b/c Wackie Jackie thought she was flirting with her man lol?
    Jackie would follow the tour bus when they went on trips, during 1/2 time she would make sure Doug was starting at her and not the show, hence, “cheerleaders”
    Bitch is crazy! I can go on, but if you don’t want to know then no reason too.

    @Antonia, I remember all those things. I think there was a “special” on it back in the day.

    I guess I was watching a different show because I think Laura is wrong. She knows that Jackie is crazy and she keeps toying with her. She has an elaborate plan of revenge to hurt this lady instead of speaking with her about it and moving on.

    The rest of the girls know that Jackie is crazy but seems to have a good heart. They try to stay away from her but they are trying not to hold her crazy against her.

    I wouldn’t be cool with Laura either, because like the wummin (thanks Danielle Staub) have said if you do it to Jackie why wouldn’t you be doing the same thing to me.

    Now Jackie things everyone is on her side when really they are against Laura.

    Totally agree with EVERYTHING you said Classy! Doesn’t Laura have like 4 or 5 kids?! Shouldn’t she be taking care of them, or setting some sort of an example? Wait, what am I thinking? That would be logical thinking, and she is on BBW….. I can’t stand Jackie, but I can’t stand what Laura is doing. Damn! Just curse her ass out and move on. I think that would do just as much damage to Jackie since it appears she worships Laura. I just can’t imagine as someone who is beyond high school and college having the time or energy OR CARE to exact this type of revenge. Ehhh, can you tell it irritates me, LOL.

    On another note, so really getting over this show. The editing is beyond wack. I am trying to figure out what happened that all of a sudden now Brooke and Draya are upset about Laura’s behavior. It seemed beyond random that first thing at the party Bambi runs up to Brooke and now they are all on the same page about the situation. IDK, just over it. Totally agree that Draya is opportunist and was salivating at the thought of being in fashion week Jackie or not.

    Okay, I’ll totally admit I’m partial to Laura for the wrong reasons. And she should just say her peace and be done with it… But maybe the producers don’t want it to be so easy. Anyway, I had/have one person it my life that did me wrong… And after six years we had our come to Jesus blow up fight. Screaming, cursing, quitting, her hanging on the hood of my car (she was drunk… Neither of us were classy)… But I said everything on my mind. Including calling her son a future serial killer… (haha, I still laugh that I said that… But it’s true. We all called him John Wayne Gacy Jr.). But that fight still wasn’t enough for me… I still have dreams of truly hurting her or plotting some elaborate revenge… Not that I’d do anything. I’m way too lazy. But just saying, maybe Laura’s anger and hurt run deep… Or again, maybe the producers told her to make it last for a whole season.

    And as far as kids… They all seem to take the hands off approach to parenting during taping.

    And @antonia, I love any gossip or back story… I’ve googled around and found some, but then find myself in a web of twitter wars and hosting gigs and I give up.

    Btw, Malaysia and Draya will be hosting a party at The Rooster Tail this weekend in Detriot. Holla.

    I’m confused, I watched last season (but maybe I blocked it out?) and I can’t remember what Jackie supposedly did to Laura…

    I’m confused too… And I just spent more time googling Jackie and Laura 2011, to see if old stuff would come up, but all I could read is that Gloria slept with Laura’s man, and that Laura slept with Shaq, and that exec producer got mad at Gloria for that bc she set Laura and Shaq up… But they did say that Jackie may have mentioned it on the reunion show but it was bleeped out, and that Laura had a second fight that was cut out… Maybe with Jackie? At this point I need to be spoon fed, but sadly… It’s bugging me.

    @kdog, I think when Laura said that she wanted to speak with Jackie’s kids was when everyone decided that Laura was crossing the line.

    I didn’t mind Laura at the beginning but now it’s just too much.

    Last year Jackie had everyone believing that everyone was talking about everyone else. Then it was rumored that at the reunion Jackie said Gloria slept with Gilbert (Laura’s fiancee). That caused the sisters to not speak with each other. (remember Gloria said it was outside people that made them grow apart)

    So while I do understand Laura’s anger, I still think that you could curse her out, throw a drink in her face and not deal with her anymore.

    It would just be tooooo exhausting to have an evil master plan.

    Laura has issues. If you really think Jackie’s the crazy one, then why would you ever pretend to be her friend. I know I would stay far away from \CRAZY\ folks.
    I couldn’t figure out why Laura would except Jackie’s apology if she wasn’t willing to get over it. How can you except her apology, yet still plot your revenge.
    Laura’s pure evil and I’m glad Bambi and Brooke finally can see that.
