I want to smack her friend for telling her to throw away her pride and take him back.

So, now we are back in Florida. Renee is in group therapy. They discuss anger and how it stems from fear. Renee goes off about how much she hates Carla. The rest of the group is looking at her like, “is this bitch for real?” When she says that Carla is just something that you use and then throw away, it pretty much stops all conversation for a second. Seriously, can anyone else blame Carla for being over Renee at this point? Who talks about a friend of 20 years that way?

The group leader puts Renee in front of the group and tells her to be quiet.

I like him already. He says that she needs to open her mind and listen to the group now. Why can’t her friends talk to her this way? It seems to get much better results than them enabling her misplaced rage.

They lay it out for her. Everyone has people that they are pissed at. But, carrying all of that anger around is a waste of energy that could be used to do better things, regardless of what that person has done to them. The thing is, it doesn’t look like Carla has actually DONE anything to Renee. Renee just needs a target for her rage and Carla is easy because she doesn’t invest in Renee’s DragQueen antics. They basically tell her that she is giving Carla power by holding on to all of this anger at her. And it’s true. I feel like Carla has been winning this season simply because she has stayed so calm while Renee has been screeching to the world about how horrible Carla is.

I’m not sure if it’s a true breakthrough. I mean, Jennifer needs to make that money, so the drama ain’t going away. But, Renee decides that she has to let it go.

Next week, there is a brawl at the Drunken Monkey. CousinSuckUp has to deal with the fact that her daughter wants Aleeya at her birthday party. So, she and Drita have to have a sit down. CousinSuckUp brings up her tired connection to Lefty Two Guns for some reason. Joe tells Carla that he went to see an attorney and immediately gets defensive when Carla says that’s cold. And, Hurricane Sandy is coming.

That’s it for this week Gasmii. Sorry, that this was a little later than anticipated. Today’s my birthday and I over did it last night since I took today off work. So, I had to do a lot of this recap with a bit of a hangover while being waited on hand and foot by my adoring husband.

Anyway, I look forward to hearing your thoughts on the episode. I especially want your take on the Karen/Dave and Drita/Lee situations. So, hit me up in the comments!

If there were ever a situation where in which I had to choose between cheese and chocolate, cheese would win hands down. I spend my days writing blog posts for the multi-housing industry and my nights harshly judging people who appear on reality shows. If there is the odd weekend in which I am not working, or feeling smugly satisfied about my lack of my own reality show, I will build a blog for my friends. Then, I will spend the rest of my weekend conning other friends, family members, and general acquaintances to donate their talents to help out. I am shameless in my love of free stuff, blue humor, and great or even terrible fiction. I tell my friends that I watch reality shows to feel better about myself. In actuality, I watch them because I am vastly entertained by the things people will do to be famous. When Flipit asked me to join the TVGasm family, I was honored. When he said that I would be paid in Cheetos and M&M's, I was totally in.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY PLATH

    “And Drita is all kinds of confused about how she feels.”

    I call bull – she was twirling her hair like a little girl in love talking about Lee to Big Ang on the phone. I think she needs to do him again to remember she really doesn’t want to be with him. Reality is a cruel mistress.

    How hard do you think Carla was laughing when she saw Ratty’s talking head about being Puerto rican blah blah blah? I wonder what Ratty’s parents think about their daughter shacking up with a married ex-con?

    According to Carla’s FB page, they got Elvis back in March 2012. Joe claims he and Ratty have been dating since he was released from prison.

    Joes response to being asked if he was offered a full-time spot.

    “Right now I’m on about 5 episodes of the 15 episodes that they shot. They haven’t offered me a full time role yet but they have been talking to me about it for season 3. If it comes to it I’m down to do it but I’m also approached to be on another show so if that show is picked up I’ll do their show because I already signed a contract with them.”

    Sure Love, your boyfriend didn’t cheat on you with two other women, he decided to go the expensive route to freeze his spermatozoa and then artificially impregnate two random girls to carry on his bloodlines. What A Dumbass!

    I’m only on page three – I’ll be back when I finish reading…

    Happy Birthday PA! I agree with all you wrote about Drita and Lee. I really hope she doesn’t take him back! I think AJ (and question why he flew to Florida with her) gets away with the way he talks to his mother is cause Italian sons are usually treated like kings. Between that, Renee treating him more as a friend then a mother and Renee taking 20 pills a day mixed with wine is how he gets away with all he says. I cannot believe Renee is still talking smack about Carla to her therepy group no less. She’s acting like Carla slept with Junior! It makes no sense!
    I called it – Karen talks all big and bad, meanwhile all she did was call him to bitch that he has a girlfriend, nothing else. I’m gonna bust a cap!!

    Happy birthday!

    I loved the scenes with Drita and her girls! She always makes sure that she does what is best for her girls.

    I’m on the fence about whether Drita and Lee should get back together. If I could trust the editing on the show, then I think she shouldn’t because she doesn’t need to put up with that crap. However, I don’t think I can trust the editing – I’m sure the shitty phone calls happened, but we don’t know what happened with all the other phone calls. And I’m not forgetting about the cheating – but I figured that with Drita’s temperament and attitude she would have written him off right way, so I gotta think there is really something between them that she thinks will help them overcome the cheating so they can be together. We are at a disadvantage because this is the only relationship where we haven’t gotten to see the two of them together, so there is no way of our knowing right now.

    Happy Birthday PA!!!

    I loved that Drita doesn’t talk crap about Lee in front of the girls. When the girls are old enough to decide what to think about their father that’s their decision. Until then Drita should keep doing what she’s doing. Drita…this is what they call the honeymoon phase. The situation sounds good but Lee cheated and will probably cheat again. Don’t fall for it.

    Karen and CSU are soooooooooo WACK! I hate them.

    The Happiest of B-days Plathy!!!!!!!!!!! Aquarius looks good on ya!!!

    Does anyone think Carla has the potential to go full-on Left Eye Lopez on Joe?????? She scares me sometimes.

    I am always loving Big Ang and hope she keeps her own show—I can see a spin-off with Drita and Big Ang too.

    Love grows on me more and more.

    Karen and CSU—-what ever happened with Karen’s book????????

    Renee–sigh…………..and your sister is filming your rehab visit–I cannot believe that the facility is ok with it and that others are ok with being filmed. And kicking your son in the ass isnt good Renee—thats how you drive him away. It will be away from both you and Junior so maybe there is a positive there.

    Hurricane Sandy will be a real sight to watch——my cousin lost power for 2 weeks. And have many friends in Gerritsen Beach and Breezy that lost their homes—-this will be a real drink fest for me to watch.

    Thanks for all of the birthday wishes guys! It was a fun one. This episode was kind of bad for my blood pressure. I mean, I was seething, I was so angry with Karen and CousinSuckUp. And, I can just see Drita falling in a trap when it comes to Lee. I get that she was actually in love with him. But, the cheating and the way he spoke to her just makes me want to grab her and shake her. Of course, she would beat the crap out of me, but I still want to do it just to make her wake up.
    When Karen said that crap about Karina being at an impressionable age, I wanted to kick her in the face. Yes, she is at an impressionable age. That is why she shouldn’t have to be subjected to her mother’s jealous ex-girlfriend behavior on national television. And for her and CousinSuckUp to bash her feelings like that? PISSED!
    But, I did love seeing Drita interact with her daughters. They are just so beautiful and sweet.

    We are still under a severe weather warning here, so I have to sign off for now. But, I’ll be back with more.

    Here is how I see it: Drita is totally in love with Lee and has been since she was young. At this point, if she doesn’t take him back, I don’t believe she will ever get over him. If I’m not mistaken, they have only had a handful of years together because most of their marriage he has been gone. Chances are, when he gets out he will eventually go back to his former ways. Repeat stints in prison, the number of years incarcerated etc generally doesn’t cause one to change their ways – quite frequently, the more time served, the harder it is to adjust to the \free\ world – even when the individual wants it. That being said, I think it is almost necessary for her to give it another shot although I fear it will end badly. She will probably be in love with him for the rest of her life regardless of whether they stay together or not but if she doesn’t take him back she will always wonder and it will eat at her. I really love Drita but I recall her saying once that Lee is a good father but I have to disagree. He hasn’t been a father at all and I don’t care what anyone says – one can’t parent from behind bars. It is impossible. I could probably write volumes regarding families and incarceration – it’s a subject of which unfortunately I am far too familiar with. (Never end a sentence with a preposition.)

    And of course Karen SUCKS THE BIG ONE – and I hope her daughter is able to stay as far away from her mother as absolutely possible. That will be my prayer for her anyway. She’s better off (hopefully) with her Dad and his girlfriend.

    Sorry to be so long-winded!!
