My stage name is V. 

Honey, um, that’s an X. 

Wimpy Spice and Gangsta Spice head somewhere to introduce Gangsta Spice to Old Spice. Wimpy Spice shares that she’s already told Gangsta Spice that Old Spice is a little bit crazy. Immediately Old Spice channels one of her personalities that sounds sweet with a side of delusion. She wants it to be clear to Gangsta Spice that they are trying to place a stigma on her that she’s crazy, but she’s not… and it doesn’t bother her one bit… and as she says this, she is clearly totally and completely bothered by it and wants to strangle Wimpy Spice.

Table for 3? 

…and I’m like, Mr. Unicorn, why did you eat all my Skittles? 

 But Old Spice doesn’t let Wimpy Spice keep her down for long, because the next thing you know she’s talking about her wedding. Gangsta Spice (the “rapper” from last episode) perks up because apparently she’s a wedding planner this week. But Old Spice doesn’t even hear that because she’s determined to fking tell Gangsta Spice that all the ladies know that Wimpy Spice is homophobic, so they don’t know if she’ll be attending the coming out party for Doug wedding this year. Really, Old Spice? When exactly did that happen? Do you even know what homophobic means? Does Wimpy Spice? Did y’all Google it? I think Old Spice thinks it means “a wimp” (because it would make sense to say that they all know that Wimpy Spice is a wimp). Wimpy Spice might think it means “a purple unicorn” (because she might be a wimp, but she KNOWS she’s not a purple unicorn).

I don’t believe in unicorns, because I’m a veterinarian.

I totes wish I knew what “homophobic”  meant. 

Anyway, it was completely uncalled for and probably the only thing she could think to say because she was in a v “crazy” place. As they all leave, you hear Old Spice say “This is too much fun”. For who? Whom? Whatevs.

On a basketball court, in a world that I didn’t know existed on reality TV, we see Sister Spice and Scary Sister Spice playing basketball. And playing well. They both look beautiful and natural and I worry that my black heart is beginning to melt and that I might have to deal with real feelings again. They finish the game and sit down and talk about the last year and about the distance between them. I still don’t know what the cause was, but I almost don’t mind not knowing because they both showed what I believed to be honest emotion. Especially Scary Sister Spice… she was clearly hurt by something Sister Spice did or didn’t do, but she finds out that she wasn’t there for her younger sister as she went through a painful miscarriage while being separated from Matt Barnes.

    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.)
