Just as I was starting to loose faith in US television, TLC comes out with this gem called Gypsy Sisters. Or as I’m going to call it The Real Housewives of West Virginia. 

AshSmash here, and I’m so excited to be recapping this for y’all. Let’s get started with introducing the girls.

 

First off we have Nettie. For now I’m going to say that Nettie is probably the most sane out of these 4, but I’m sure that will change in about 4.5 seconds. Nettie also has a big family with about eighty kids. But at least they’re all from the same husband. (Cough cough Teen Mom Leah) The other girls regard her as the mother hen. We’ll see about that.

Next is THE STAR OF THE SHOW, Mellie. Poor Mellie, she looks bad. And I don’t mean that in a mean way, I’m saying that as in she needs therapy. Mellie is Nettie’s sister. Confused yet? We need to think up nicknames for these two.

Kayla is another gypsy who is the cousin to Nettie and Mellie.

Finally, there’s Laura who is something kin to these girls. I don’t know, nor do I care.

They all live near each other in this big gypsy community. Let me just point out that I’m going to need these people to stop with the snooki poofs. No no no and no. They have such pretty long hair, just leave it down.  But low and behold, as they meet up to go camper shopping, there’s the poofs, flying high. 

Whilst shopping in their neon go go outfits, the subject of Mellie comes up. Oh Mellie. Nettie is not happy with her career choice of being an “exotic dancer.” Luckily, Nettie doesn’t beat around the bush and just straight up calls her a stripper. Haha. Ba da ba ba ba, I’m lovin it. The girls agree that something has to be done about Mel. That should go over well. 

Later on, Nettie and Mellie are meeting up at Chateau de pedicure el frencho. That’s french for nail salon. I am such a world traveler. However, Mel-Go-Go will not let my classiness surpass hers and shows up sporting a lovely gold bandeau top with some heels and white shorts. OO LA LA. While they’re getting their toes done, my love for Nettie continues to grow like a frat boy loves slutty freshmen. Every time Go-Go Mel opens her mouth, Nettie shuts her down. Then the non-asian manicurists bring out some drinks and I am squirming with joy hoping that Go-Go gets super white girl wasted. But alas, I was disappointed. Yet, I did manage to capture some great pictures.

    Dozed off trying to tan topless once…10 years later and I swear my nipples still haven’t recovered.

    I feel you, Ashsmash.

    This is just awesome–sigh………………………………
    Thank God for the sub-titles. And I am amazed at how much can fit in a trailer—total clown-car!!!!

    If this show is not a constant advertisement for birth control, I don’t know what is. Jesus the inbreeding is really starting to show in these girls. What is wrong with Dallas’ head? Did it get caught in Nettie?

    Ash, didn’t Nettie say Dallas’ first marriage didn’t work out?

    Ugh spray tanning little girls – for what purpose?

    Labowner, I believe she did. I guess Dallas got married at 15 or 16 and then got divorced.

    So they marry the person they want to have sex with…because otherwise it goes against God. But divorce is okay with Him? I’m confused…

    Can’t they just have sex and take Plan B afterwards like the rest of the teenagers we’re seeing on reality tv these days?

    These women set us back years. They raise their daughters to dress like sluts starting at age 6 and their main purpose in life is to have babies with some driveway repair guy who travels all over to warm places so he can keep working all year round…and the wife is supposed to live in the trailer and wait on him hand and foot. If you are not married at least once by 16 you are an old maid so GO-GO better get at it as she is a spinster in this society.

    What a hot mess! LOVED the limo driver….

    I am not sure if this show is a spin-off of the Gypsy Wedding Show .but I am pretty sure it is…..that’s the one where the wedding dresses won’t fit into the car or a bus for that matter and they spend 1,000′s of dollars on them.

    When I saw how the really young little girls were dancing at these weddings I was almost too appalled to watch it without calling child protective services LOL. It’s no wonder they marry by 14/15 ..they are all in heat.

    Hey Ash, did you read a former Gasmii recapper works on the show? She posted in the mini-cap comments.

    How insane is Mellie when she drinks? Ash that photo of Mellie coming from behind the poor limo driver is priceless. I really thought she was going to turn into a vampire and bite him on the neck.
    Not that she can read or reads this (do they know how to google alert themselves), but Mellie you can’t complain about a man beating you and then you get drunk and are violent with others. Sorry I refuse to allow you to play victim and aggressor. Not to say it didn’t happen, but I do wonder how much of what she thought him beating her was really her husband trying to control her.

    Sunshine, I feel that way about almost all the females I see on reality tv. Do you watch Big Rich Atlanta?

    I want to know more about the whole Gypsy background. What religion are they? The only interesting gypsy \factoid\ dropped on the show is when Nettie claimed the Romani Gypsies do blacktop, the Irish Gypsies/Travellers paint, and the Turkish Gypsies tell fortunes. I wonder how much truth there is to that. And if that’s all there is that separates them as gypsies than other cultures perhaps they need to get a new identity. But really. Where does the traveling come in? What is their specific culture that makes them who they are? I mean, beside being inbred trailer park rednecks that marry at the ripe old age of 15..

    Besides the title of the show alluding to gypsies I would have believed I was watching something called the Trailerpark Housewives of West Virgina.

    Yes Yes I know, I’m working on it now. Flipping back and forth between homework and recapping.

    @ *nic* Most of Romani that I know of adhere to Roman Catholicism as their religion. The traveling comes in because while it’s getting more common to have a brick & mortar house like Kayla does, a lot of Romani still travel in trailers and do not have a set home – like Laura and her husband.

    Their specific culture IS Romani – they are a “tribe”/culture just like Irish, German, etc. are. Google it for more information – try “American Romani” or “American Gypsy”

    I forgot which channel it is, but there is a reality show based in a trailer park in Myrtle Beach. Anyone going to recap?

    Wait, I’m confused.

    Are they Romani?
    And is this a spin off from the gypsy wedding show?
    Are Mellie and Go-Go the same person?

    @Labowner, same channel as Gypsy Sisters. I was watching the marathon with my BFF last night and kept having to shield his eyes when the Myrtle Beach Trailer Park commercial came on ‘CAUSE OF GRAMMA IN THE POOL.

    This show…has given me so much material. Thank you, thank you Ash, for recapping.

    This is a spin off of the American Gypsy wedding show. They are Roman Catholic. Mellie and Go-Go are the same person. Yes, the Romani are known for blacktop, Irish Travellers in the US are known for shoddy home repairs. In Ireland they are known for their horses and racing. Turkish gypsies usually own fortune telling joints that the women work in. They are also horse breeders, and NEVER call a Turkish gypsy a traveller…they encourage their daughters to work and wait to get married.
    Irish Travellers oversees are also a lot more strict than anything I’ve seen on this show. Divorce brings shunning, and it would be a cold day in h-e double hockey sticks before any respectable traveller girl was caught on a pole.

    Thanks Liz.

    That Ashley girl reminds me of Ash’s first client on Gigolo’s.

    The family on the show are Romanichal, and they’re born again. As far as I can tell, Rumnies in WV aren’t Catholic. Maybe Nettie will show up and clear this up for us. If I’m mistaken, sorry, Nettie. Love you!

    I am worried about Mellie’s baby. Mellie is a total mess and really–she doesn’t have enough sense to stop smoking and drinking and being around people who are smoking at least until her baby is born? What a mess!
    Mellie–get your act together–and I don’t mean your strip act!!!which one is a country?
