Tricia is apparently Wayne Newton’s brother-in-law and looks like she also came up through the pageant system. They begin discussing…what else…Lana. Tricia says she can’t wait to meet Lana because “she seems like the most ridiculous woman on the PLAnet” (they TOTALLY talk like that) and Alicia springs on Tricia that they’re actually meeting Lana on their way to dinner that night. So the pageant princess is dragging her bestie along to the meet-and-greet with the Mean Girl. What could go wrong?
Tricia’s all “uh…uh…uh…OMG! Well I got your back!” With what? Cover-up for after she gets her ass beat? These two are hilarious even TRYING to act tough. Alicia says Lana wants to meet at a park, to which the chick doing her makeup says “No witnesses!” and they all laugh. This should be fun.
Over at Lana’s house, someone (her driver?) tells her that they have to leave or they’re going to be late. Lana grabs her gun
?!?!?!?!?!?
while interviewing that for Alicia, strike one was sleeping with married men and strike two was not accepting Lana’s apology at the wine tasting. Lana says that if Alicia comes to the park with anything other than an apology, that makes strike three and she’s done. Oh the drama! They roll out and we’re treated to an AWESOME shot of the Strip at sunset:
It’s so beautiful here.
Next we see Lana, waiting at “the park,” still posturing by voiceover, when Alicia and Tricia pull up. How hilarious is this?
Mean Girl vs. Pageant Girls
I’m wondering why TLC never showed Alicia and Tricia deciding what to wear tonight. “OMG do you think we’re too matchy matchy?” “Nooooooooo – it’s totally a different color of blue! That makes it a completely different outfit!” Lana is not pleased that Alicia brought back up and we’re treated to her WTF face.
Lana’s WTF face
She interviews that if you say you’re coming alone, you show up alone. But then, she has bodyguards there (although not right up in the conversation) so she’s not alone either. The meeting does NOT go well (duh). Alicia is obviously not there to apologize, opening with how poorly she feels she’s been treated by Lana. Lana says that’s why she apologized at Lori’s house and it should have ended there.
Alicia wants a chance to share with Lana how Lana’s words made her feeeeeeeeel. Puke. Lana says she doesn’t even know Alicia so her feelings are irrelevant. I feel like I’m retyping a scene straight out of Sweet Valley High. Where’s the Spider Fiat?
Tricia just can’t keep her mouth shut any longer! Apparently “have your back” in pageant speak means making incredulous tsk!s and ha!s until you can no longer hold it all in. Lana is PISSED, telling Tricia that this has nothing to do with her and she should probably just keep her mouth shut. “Oh that’s right because you’re GOD. I saw your Twitter page,” Tricia shoots back.

This was a great recap, thanks! Oh, and people who order spicy crab rolls very very very mild, like almost not spicy…crazy mild are why God gave line cooks saliva.
What is with Lana and why don’t we ever see her husband?
@labowner — I’m fairly positive that she ate him.
JimbobJones I would believe that. Wonder if he is an iffy businessman, thus he doesn’t want to be shown. Oh and Lana very easy to be rich in a place that is known to be very inexpensive. Take your show to NYC or LA and see how far you get. Her sister is a train wreck from hell.
Does Marco not work at all?
Hey guys! Thanks for stopping by.
I stand corrected re: Marco.
“Prior to working as a professional hairdresser, Traniello was a real estate agent and the captain of an oil ship In 1999, while on vacation in America, Traniello met his future wife, professional poker player Jennifer Harman, in the parking garage of The Bellagio hotel and casino, where their cars were parked next to each other.”
Also, Victor Fuchs is a health economist. Sounds pretty shady to me.
“Victor R. Fuchs is an American health economist. He has been called “the dean of health economists” by New York Times economics columnist David Leonhardt. He is the Henry J. Kaiser, Jr. Professor at Stanford University, emeritus. Since 1962, he has been a research associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research, and is the co-director of the FRESH-Thinking Project, CASBS, at Stanford University.”
So kind of sounds like he’s in California most of the time. And nearing 80.
Thanks Wikipedia!
That May-December thing is REALLY common out here, by the way; much more so than my native Detroit. When I first moved here 7 years ago I totally didn’t get that I was actually being hit on by older men, like really older men. It just seems way more acceptable or sometimes even expected. Gotta love Vegas girls!
Oh my mother loving god look at what I found. Lana is reality tv whore. Who’d a thunk.
