Scary, Homewrecker, Old, Sister, Opportunistic, Wimpy

 Above is a refresher of the ladies names… I have decided to change Opportunistic/Whore Spice to just Opportunistic Spice because she continues to win me over.

Last week ended with Old Spice and Homewrecker Spice having lunch. It was a short lunch because it didn’t take v long for Old Spice to lose touch with reality… and Homewrecker Spice wisely took an early exit.

Before we start, I have to talk about the bizarre nail polish colors… they look awful. On younger adults I think fun colors are cute. On these women it looks completely ridiculous. 

Example 1: Purple Nails

So, now, we are at, yet again, another lunch meeting, but this time with Old Spice and Scary Sister Spice. Old Spice talks about her lunch with Homewrecker Spice and tells Scary Sister Spice a completely altered version of what we witnessed last week. First off, she thought it went “okay”, until the end, when Homewrecker Spice stormed off. (Doesn’t she realize that the parts BEFORE she stormed off were what led her to storming off at all? Am I being too logical here?) Next, Old Spice thinks it was more of a misunderstanding because Homewrecker Spice simply doesn’t realize that Old Spice is just trying to help her because she cares so damn much. Scary Sister Spice tries, repeatedly, to explain to Old Spice that she’s not seeing what the problem is that Old Spice needs to just let Homewrecker Spice go. But no, Old Spice says that she’s going to give Homewrecker Spice another chance at another lunch. Scary Sister Spice says she wouldn’t care if someone stormed off during lunch, because she’d just pack up the other plate to go. (I would probably eat them both in one sitting.)

I believe I can fly… I believe I can touch the sky… (Example 2: Yellow Nails)

Old Spice continues her battle with reality by worrying if Homewrecker Spice will show up to her wedding, because it’s so important to her that Homewrecker Spice be there. Because she cares. Scary Sister Spice interviews that Old Spice is like someone making out with a frog all her life because she’s positive that it will eventually turn into a prince. It’s a good analogy. Not in this case… but a good one nonetheless. (Scary Sister Spice I know you tried… just wrong place, wrong time… Old Spice is more like the little kid that gets a puppy and accidentally kills it because she’s “hugging” it too tight… around its neck.)

I can’t fly. 

I wish I were high. 

At a local vintage shop, Wimpy Spice is shopping with Sister Spice. Wimpy Spice confronts Sister Spice about why Sister Spice and Scary Sister Spice have such a strained relationship and tells her that Scary Sister Spice’s feelings are getting hurt. I don’t know what the strain is between them, but I really don’t think that Wimpy Spice has any business being involved in it, especially after I saw the rest of this episode. Wimpy Spice gets an incredible amount of airtime and it’s draining the life out of me. Sister Spice tells her that she’ll talk to Scary Sister Spice and Wimpy Spice dreams about cupcakes and lollipops because, again, she thinks she is bringing people together.

    Honored to be the first poster. I need to get a life! Anyway… Great job with the recap, so so so much better than the show. Yeah, Laura is growing on me and I didn’t want her to. The comic strip renderings looked nothing like Gloria. Could have been Draya, Laura, or anybody. The show stooped to a new low with the dancers. I’m so bored with these fools. Like one poster said, there’s so much potential with real story lines (Laura’s weight loss, fabulous homes, etc) but its just week after week of, meh. One more week, and I’m pretty much done with BBW-La. I hope it gets better cause I really like Draya. I hate Jackie’s psychosis. I see that crap everyday, don’t need to see it on escapism tv.

    @neecy, never get a life… Bc if you do, I might be forced to… And I totes agree about the story lines that we’d love. Laura’s weight loss is amazing. And even Draya living without her kid. And Malaysia having twins. Just insane that they think we like a bunch of lunches. Pls don’t give up on the show. I have so few commenters, I need someone to make my 5 hours of bball wives to matter. My only other fans are my nail techs and they don’t speak a word of English. (thank goodness). but they love me. (and my tips).

    I think Laura’s less fake than the rest of them. Specially if you’re grading on a curve.

    But I don’t think I realized just how much less fake till this episode. The scene you picked for her real emotion pic on page 4. That’s got another thing not seen on reality tv: A forehead that didn’t get a botox shot.

    I still think she’s prettier with some more weight on her though. If she felt too big before maybe compromise somewhere in the middle.

    Draya’s mom was on in season 1. But this is the 1st we’ve seen of her dad. I don’t even remembering her mentioning him. So for him to all of a sudden show up now. Without even any lead up scenes of Draya talking about how she’d been reaching out to him. Or wanting her baby to know him. I think you’re right. It stinks of somebody smelling some $.

    You might be right about Gloria not having much of a job before too. Didn’t she meet Matt when she was like 12 or something? And he just waited till she was legal to get her pregnant? Because it seems like last season 1 of their issues was that she hadn’t ever lived a grown up life.

    I believe Gloria is 24 and her sister isn’t much older than that.

    Mr.s Jackie is still wack a doo.

    I do hope things work out with Draya and her family.

    Laura you’re two faced It’s horrible. Jackie was wrong and you should tell the truth. Jackie has no right to talk to Draya the way she does and call her all those rude and nasty names. If you want respect you should give it. It don’t matter that you’re the grandma of the group. Laura you would not feel the same way if you were call out your name. And I think Draya can beat Jackie

    i agree that jackie treated draya v poorly. it was out of line. but jackie didn’t really call her a lot of rude and nasty names… she just kept repeating the same one over and over and over again… I haven’t watched last night’s episode yet, bc i am travelling; but i will be recapping it tonight and tomorrow.

    i agree that i think draya could take jackie. jackie may be bigger, but draya looks like she’s handled herself in a girl fight before. (like maybe when someone’s wife comes home and she’s still in the house… yes, i am just making that assumption.)
