   @Alejandra This recap is awesome! You made me feel like I’d actually watched something entertaining!

   When I’ve spent the whole week complaining because this episode didn’t have any Mama Elsa in it!

   Now I can’t wait for people that know them to get blogs and start telling us some more really happened.

   My guess so far is that Daysy’s a Beverly Hills nanny. And Lea thinks she should get some kind of medal for taking care of a lady that spent her whole life taking care of Lea’s annoying ass.

   The swimming lesson scene would’ve looked a lot more realistic if she’d have thought about it enough before hand to get Miss Freda a bathing suit. And if it happened 40 yrs ago.

   Or at least as soon as Lea had a baby and or a pool. That’s just common sense. Who’d let their staff walk around all that time not knowing how to swim?

   Free Freda!

   Wow that model probably should not drink. Ever. She was annoying this time and sounds like she is always annoying when drunk. Sad because she seems like a nice girl when sober.

   But yeah her and her bf are toast. Should have just got married sooner when they both actually wanted to get married. They have been living together and everything so it does not seem like it would be any logistical issues to keep them from getting married.

   So proud of the bf for his citizenship! That was adorable. I still keep liking him and it is just so weird for me to actually like one of the guys on housewives.

   About the Elsa’s face thing, I feel like it would be one of those things where you have to say something to someone else once about. But I mean after that it would be rude to keep bringing up. But her face is seriously jacked I think it would be hard to not say anything at all ever. So I think it depends on if these ladies are just getting an elephant out of the room by agreeing its messed or its a reoccurring topic that they diss on.

   JP…wasn’t it awesome when Romain walked out of the citizenship office dancing? That was probably my favorite part of the episode. He seemed to really take pride in finally being an American citizen.

   Anyone notice how Karent had to stop herself from playing with her hair when talking to Rodolpho via Skype?

   Between the first episode and this one, sorry Lea, whatever respect I had for you is gone. How dare she not shut that clown up. I can’t stand attention whores that make life about themselves.

   Once a long time ago I was in a car accident. Just bruised, but I took a Vicodin earlier in the day. That night I went out with friends and acted just like Joanna. Screaming about everything and the smallest slight I thought a friend’s boyfriend had done to her. So embarrassing….. So, I think it’s a combo of things or maybe just as simple as she needs a sandwich.

   “My brain is proud of you, but my heart wants to see you get drunk and fall down.”

   BWAHAHAHAHAHA. Me likey. Telling it like it is! Although I, too, am proud of Marysol, of course. Back to reading…

   God, that Elaine was fucking annoying……I like how she was like “this is not all about you, it’s about THE CHARITY” (clutching pearls) WHILE bitching about not being denied to walk the red carpet. Guess what, nobody outside of Miami gives a shit about the Black’s Gala, so deal with it. Call me when you are denied the red carpet of the Oscars, honey.

   I noticed how the Polish came out real quick when Joanna was drinkin’ that vodka. Same thing happens to me!

   the VIP lounge of Mynt reminded me of the “Saved by the Bell” opening credits, for some reason. Just had that early 90′s vibe. But good for Romian to be in business that long, I dont know much about the club scene but that’s an accomplishment…..and the US Citizenship!!!

   Karent needs to realizet her Latint Soapt Boyfriendt is a losert!

   Alejandra – Girl, you are never going to make it as a Real Housewife of the Gasm if you don’t know your Porsches from your Ferraris!

   Romain seems like kind of an ass who may be cheating on his girlfriend, but she kind of lost the sympathy position in this episode – between not getting that her sister has overstayed her welcome in their relatively cramped place and causing that ridiculous and embarrassing scene in his club on his big night right after he was sitting there fending off the blatant advances of the poor man’s Sofia Vergara.

   Lea doing her housekeeper/nanny’s hair was too much. It’s like when white couples adopt female black babies and their child’s hair is just constantly a mess.

   Does anyone else get annoyed by the constant misuse on shows like this of the term “supermodel”? Remember in the 80s/90s, when supermodel referred to just a few women – Christy Turlington, Linda Evangelista, Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell? Now it just seems to be used to refer to any working model who has has had a cover (even when that cover is schlock like Maxim and Playboy, like Joanna). And it’s bullshit for her to claim that she came to this country and pulled herself up by her bootstraps. She was 5 years old! That’s not exactly the Horatio Alger story. And being born stunningly gorgeous and becoming a professional model is not the biggest inspiration of all time.

   Thanks for the fun recap!!

    @Annie ‘I noticed how the Polish came out real quick when Joanna was drinkin’ that vodka. Same thing happens to me! ‘

    Wow, what a way to bring a shitty stereotype to life, Annie.
    Just so you know, I am Polish too, and I take a HUGE offense to what you said. It is idiotic comments like that which make others think it is completely OK to trudge out ‘Polish jokes’ or ‘Irish jokes’ etc.
    And for the record, it was not the Polish that came out of Joanna – it was an asshole!

    I thought Annie was referring to accent also. It tends to happen to people when they get drunk, may it be a midwestern accent, southern accent, hispanic accent, etc…

    @Alejandra Since you guys are volunteers I guess you can’t get hazard pay. But you should totally get hazard love for recapping this tropiclusterfuck.

    I know I’ve got a suspicious mind. But a lot of stuff’s got the stink of hind sight. Like if somebody realized making the cast huge was a mistake. (They’re still missing the big boat right in front of them. But that’d take a tangent to explain. In case anybody lurking’s missing it too.)

    Anyway they’re trying to put band aids on it now. Adding in these little dabs of things. To appeal to this or that slice of viewer pie.

    Then Joanna’s hissy fit was supposed to get everybody’s attention. Since that’ story line’s got the most drama potential. Or could have. If people cared 1 way or the other about them. And weren’t just betting each other pizza on which episode Romain and Marta’ll have their hate sex.

    @Dagny: I totally agree that Romain comes off as an asshole. I know some folks really dig him, but to me he appears to be an incredibly self absorbed pompous ass…with an occasionally good sense of humor and the sense to stay away from man-eating hos like Adriana.

    Joanna damn skippy went cuckoo-for-cocoa-puffs, but I just get a slime feeling from Romain (although not as bad as Rodolfo). Oh, and Karent is DELUSIONA SQUARED.

    I rather adore Lisa. She’s so good natured and understands she’s very, very lucky to be in the position she’s in. Let’s hope she keeps it real (as can be on a reality show).

    One more thing: Elsa has been the elephant in the room for a season and a quarter now. I’m GLAD they finally addressed her…issues. I wasn’t sure WHAT happened to her face, but it’s good to know (and for the ladies to know so they don’t say anything in front of her) that she got fucked up by some quack and didn’t ASK to look that way. Adriana is in NO position to judge the o thers for their conversation.

    @AmyOops She kind of did in the 1st episode of this season. With her and Marisol in the jewelry store. A sorry ass doctor got ahold of her and fucked her face up.

    I think they need to address it more though. She didn’t say the doctor’s name. But we don’t know if she sued and can’t. Or if he went out of business. He might be too old to operate on people by now. Or passed.

    Either way she could warn people. That it can happen to anybody.

    @kthxbai: Damndamndamn I don’t remember that…I may have to find a way to rewatch the first episode…probably on Bravo’s website.

    I totally agree they should address it. It doesn’t even have to be with the whole cast (although obvs they would see it later), but if Elsa would/could talk about it she might teach others who are thinking about plastic surgery to research research research

    Maybe it was Elsa that is the problem, the doctor or a combination of the two. She is not the only one to go over board with the surgeries.

    True, labowner. We/they have all assumed it was horrific plastic surgery, ie the doctor sucked…what if in reality (heh heh) Elsa is one of those nuts who demand “MORE MORE MORE!”?

    Joanna is the walking lesson for beautiful women everywhere: If you have an annoying, shrieking, stank personality, it doesn’t matter if you’re a supermodel. Men can get just as tired of you as with a normal mortal woman, because eventually, they see that you’re a real person. If you don’t have a gracious personality to go with your model looks, you’re really just going to eventually be seen as a tall screaming gangly baby. With giant man hands.

    I must admit, as gorgeous as Joanna is, she looked like a baby the way she as screaming uncontrollably, throwing a tantrum. Ana should have more self respect than have her daughters and ex treat her like that, while he is blatantly cheating on her.
