I spent the entire episode waiting for something to happen. And then, when something did happen? The damned security team had to break it up. Thank goodness for the comments. Otherwise, I would never be able to make it through recapping this show.  This week there is only one comment from the mini cap and it is buried somewhere within this post. See if you can guess who said it.

SillyPutty is teaching TinyDancerRoyce how to play tennis. TinyDancerRoyce starts telling her about the conversation that she had with MessyMeeka, and RealWorldTami. I am truly starting to believe that Evelyn is the person telling RealWorldTami everything that MessyMeeka says.

It would have to be Jennifer, Shaunie or Evelyn. But, the reason I keep going back to Evelyn is because every time MessyMeeka talked shit about TinyDancerRoyce on camera it was to the group or directly to Evelyn. And the specifics of “she is not my kind of chick/bitch” were said directly to Evelyn. The only problem with the theory is that RealWorldTami is still on the outs with Evelyn. Unless, they have been mending fences off camera – which would really piss me off, because THAT would actually be an entertaining story line.

Evelyn-Lozada-Tami-Roman

Imagine if Evelyn and RealWorldTami got together for the sole purpose of destroying MessyMeeka. It would be GLORIOUS!

I refuse to discuss the IVF storyline between Evelyn and Cinco de Mayo.

TinyDancerRoyce decides to host a pool party. She has a great time with her dancer friends, her new boyfriend, and a bunch of other people that are not basketball wives. She introduces her new boyfriend, who looks like a giant compared to her TinyDancer self. She is worried that she and her boyfriend are moving too fast, but they haven’t slept together yet so it seems like they could take it as slow as they need to, in my opinion. She also talks about how much easier her life is without Jennifer and Evelyn as her friends.

MessyMeeka meets with SillyPutty to find out who has been telling RealWorldTami what MessyMeeka said. MessyMeeka is taking the “I don’t remember saying that” approach. Good thing we have it on camera! SillyPutty doesn’t want to take a side and advises her to just talk to the main players. Which is something that anyone who hasn’t been shit talking would do. But, MessyMeeka isn’t quite ready to risk making the cool kids angry.

greased-up-meekaSeriously, bitch needs to go ahead and grease up for the smackdown.

Even though I am not indulging this baby story line, I do think it’s crazy that Cinco de Mayo doesn’t even know how old Evelyn is and also does not seem to actually like her considering the things he says about her appearance.

MessyMeeka meets up with Shaunie to try to find out more about who has been telling RealWorldTami what MessyMeeka has said. Shaunie tells her to just be careful of who she talks to. Notice how MessyMeeka didn’t play the “I don’t remember saying that” card to Shaunie? It’s because she totally knows what she said and is just pissed that she got caught. She can’t plug the leak without risking getting thrown out of the popular girls club, but she is worried that she may not be as “in” as she thought. Shaunie is playing innocent and while she is the first person I thought would have said something (just for the sake of adding drama to the show), I believe her when she says she hasn’t talked to RealWorldTami yet.

So, it leaves Evelyn and Jennifer. It could easily be Jennifer, but I don’t think it’s her. I really don’t. Mainly, because I don’t think that Jennifer has the time or inclination to talk about anyone but herself. Evelyn is self-centered, but she is also a gossipy bitch. Jennifer is also self-centered but doesn’t tend to make a move without consulting with Evelyn first – at least when it comes to TinyDancerRoyce.

TinyDancerRoyce and Brian, the giant, go to a pet store. Apparently, TinyDancerRoyce recently lost a pet and was very sad about it. TinyDancerRoyce sees an adorable puppy and Brian the giant buys it for her. We never see the dog again after that, so hopefully, she is still alive.

thegiant-and-thepuppyWhat a cute puppy. Is she still alive?

SillyPutty talks to TinyDancerRoyce about MessyMeeka. TinyDancerRoyce actually feels bad for MessyMeeka, even though she has been talking shit, because MessyMeeka is in for a hard time if she becomes friends with the popular girls.

SillyPutty wants to get TinyDancerRoyce to make up with all of the other girls. TinyDancerRoyce doesn’t want to be friends with them. She doesn’t like Evelyn She has no real problem with Jennifer, and doesn’t seem to care that Jennifer has a problem with her. She can be cordial; she just doesn’t want to be their friends. But, because SillyPutty is inviting her, she agrees to do it. She will just have to remember to bring her brass knuckles (it’s like she’s psychic).

TinyDancerRoyce meets with MessyMeeka to find out what was said. MessyMeeka tries to put TinyDancerRoyce on the defensive by saying that RealWorldTami was her pit bull in the situation. TinyDancerRoyce nips that immediately by explaining that she had no idea what RealWorldTami was going to say until she actually said it. She goes on to say that since she doesn’t talk to Jennifer, Evelyn, or Shaunie, she has no idea what they are saying or who they are saying it to. MessyMeeka is in a precarious position right now. She knows what shit she has said. She knows that shit has gotten back to the wrong people. She doesn’t know who it is that is selling her out. She has already gotten a straight denial from Shaunie, but she is really worried that it might be her new BFF’s Jennifer and Evelyn – which would mean that she has gotten played!

MeekaLunch-1307384387I could just ask Evelyn and Jennifer which one talked to RealWorldTami, but then they might not like me anymore.

TinyDancerRoyce just tells her she needs to watch her back. Because she is going to eventually be asked to pick a side. TinyDancerRoyce knows what she is talking about, and MessyMeeka should really take her advice – but we have seen how well she takes advice, so there is definitely more drama on the horizon.

TinyDancerRoyce and her dad sit down to discuss Brian. Dad thinks that TinyDancerRoyce is moving too fast. He just wants her to be happy. He thinks that she hasn’t had enough time to be alone. TinyDancerRoyce just doesn’t want to be alone and I feel really bad for her because that’s how women end up making stupid mistakes when it comes to the men in their lives.

So, now Evelyn, Jennifer and TinyDancerRoyce are about to sit down. Evelyn immediately is talking shit about what TinyDancerRoyce will be wearing. She doesn’t care about TinyDancerRoyce. What happened with them? Why do they hate each other so much? I’m only at episode 7 of the second season and even though Evelyn and Jennifer missed Royce’s fashion show performance, I don’t see where the hate is coming from. Why does ANYONE want to be Evelyn’s friend?

EvelynFace-1306949442I don’t know why they want to be my friend either. I’ve done everything I can think of to make people hate me.

TinyDancerRoyce comes right out with how she doesn’t like Evelyn. TinyDancerRoyce denies talking shit about Jennifer on Twitter. Evelyn has been telling Jennifer this and Evelyn can’t even come up with anything that TinyDancerRoyce has ever said. TinyDancerRoyce is not friends with Eric, they speak on Twitter but that’s it.

Evelyn calls her a bum. TinyDancerRoyce calls her a ho. Evelyn is really mad because TinyDancerRoyce isn’t reacting the way she wants her to. She isn’t defensive or even phased by any of the shit that Evelyn is spewing so Evelyn is getting more and more angry by how calmly TinyDancerRoyce is taking it all. It’s the fact that TinyDancerRoyce isn’t groveling and isn’t the least bit concerned about what Evelyn thinks, added to the fact that Evelyn has been lying to Jennifer about what TinyDancerRoyce has been saying on Twitter that makes Evelyn fly off the handle.

Also, Jennifer is stupid. I can understand believing the stuff that your friends tell you. But, when you look at how many fights Evelyn has been at the center of, you would have to take her with a grain of salt. All Jennifer has to do is go on Twitter look at TinyDancerRoyce’s or Eric’s timeline and see what has been said for herself. Easy as pie. Evelyn knows that Jennifer won’t do that and is more willing to just take her at her word. So, she has been filling Jennifer’s head with lies and since she is about to be caught doing that she can’t take it. She especially can’t take it that TinyDancerRoyce could give two shits about what Evelyn thinks.

So, she throws a glass of water at TinyDancerRoyce.

What’s with the drink throwing these days? Is this now a mature way of fighting? I wouldn’t waste an alcoholic beverage on anyone because I don’t condone alcohol abuse, but I have some people in mind I would love to douse in kool-aid.

Anyway, TinyDancerRoyce grabs a glass, throws it at her, then grabs her wrist and brings her towards her fist. But, she wasn’t able to get a good punch in before security pulls them apart. Evelyn almost got her ass handed to her. That would have been the best thing ever. I hate the security on this show!

Fight-1307737932Tweet This Bitch!

At least next week we will have RealWorldTami to entertain us by telling MessyMeeka just how little the other girls care for her. That should at least be good for a laugh.

I would apologize for the lateness of this recap, but I have a sneaking suspicion that you guys have my back when it comes to this show and how painfully boring it is. So, I will just say thank you for reading, even if I don’t get them up as quickly as I could.

Don’t forget to look for the comment and tell me who you think said it!

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.

    This show is boring but you make it fun to read about. All i can say one of these women need to start a clothing line or cosmetic line and then the show will be better. I am sure one of them is a very talented singer and needs postive people around her to make her career take off. The talent these women have won’t be denied.
    God bless you and your work on this show really sucks.These women need something else to do with there lives.Can’t they find lower level of basketball players to crush there souls.Maybe in the D League

    Oh these women need something to do with their lives other that start drama with each other. They seriously need to take up some hobbies like knitting, maybe that will keep their hands busy and away from twitter. Most of their drama seems to come from twitter. It’s sad to see grown ass women getting into fights over freaking twitter. This show has gotten even more boring, I don’t even bother watching it anymore. The recaps are easier to handle that actually watching this train wreck.

    My biggest problem with the show isn’t so much that it is boring as it is that NOTHING HAPPENS. They all talk a good deal of shit about each other, but none of them actually DOES anything – except for RealWorldTami. While everybody is all, “she can say what she wants and I will be polite” RealWorldTami is all, “I heard you’ve been talking shit about my girl.” Which is totally ridiculous because of how old they all are, but its a TV SHOW! Something needs to happen to keep people watching!

    @Joslyn, I know. However, I have just discovered this: http://bit.ly/kjUSKv
    For some reason, these bitches and their lumpy (ex)’s save the good stuff for Twitter. Is anyone actually following these ho’s? Because, it seems like that’s where all of the real shit goes down and I’m not sure I am ready to expose my account to that, but I will totally be down for some dirt to make this show interesting.

    Eric sounds like he has marbles in his mouth when he is talking.

    I do think that Evelyn and Jen actually like Susie and if she can keep her mouth shut they’ll stay friends.

    Poor Meeks, she wants to be in the cool girls club so bad and Ev, Jen and Shaunie just don’t give a shit.

    Why can’t they run this show like they run Jersey Shore? The security never steps in during their fights. Royce looked like she was going to get in Ev’s ASS.

    I love this show, partially because nothing else of interest is on Monday nights and because I just love the Tami/Royce clique. For me, when a reality show pits its stars/contestants against each others and cliques form and those cliques go after each other, that tends to be reality TV gold (BB6 comes to mind as a prime example of this done right!). I enjoy the natural divisions on this show and the fact that these cliques are going to explode at some point. We have Royce/Ev fighting at dinner, Tami/Meeka in the ep that aired on Monday, and we have rumblings of Royce turning on Suzie and Tami doubting Suzie’s loyalties. I also love how none of these women realize that SHAUNIE is the Queen Bee #1 Shit Stirrer Supreme and is telegraphing all of their arguments/battles. I really think (hope?) that the show is laying the groundwork for something extremely dramatic to happen by the end of the season, like the Tami/Evelyn battle at the end of last season, which had been coming for a few episodes prior to it actually going down.

    I read on VH1 Access that there is going to be a spin-off of Basketball Wives, (Basketball Wives: LA) where Gloria is a member of the cast. This show is going to supposedly going to start in late August.

    @Plath…thank you very much for not writing about the Chad and Evelyn. It’s squikky enough to have to watch.

    Royce is so small I wonder if she could do much damage?

    I think Meeka looks like Keisha Knight Pulliam’s unfortunate older aunt. I only say unfortunate because Keisha is a very very pretty person.

    Hey,Plath!! Oooo me!! I know!! It was classy drunk’s comments about the throwing drinks at people and wasting good alcohol. What do I win? A date with Errrrrrric? yech! Everytime I see him, I think of Shrek’s donkey, only less attractive. :)

    Your recaps are the best thing about this show. These heiffas need to dropped on a deserted island to screech out their remaining days. Is there a place or event in Miami where these bitches go to and not start removing the earrings, kicking off the shoes, and greasing up the knuckles to throw down?

    I think the real shit stirrer is Shaunie – she is the only one who most of the group likes (or has to as their asses being on the show depends on it) and the bitch does love to run her mouth in that passive aggressive “I am above this and see, I am a mommy” way.

    And bless you for not going over the Cinco de mayo and his whore-o fake ass storyline. I skim past that bullshit too.

    @LAC CONGRATS! You got it right! I have to come up with a very special prize. It can’t be Cheetos because I’m saving that for the first person to get me a photo of Lee D’Avanzo. I would never insult you by giving you one of those shitty t-shirts that Evil-lyn is trying to hock. Since I don’t plan on having children, I can’t name my first born after you. I will think of something though and it will be good!

    I used to LOVE Basketball Wives but I just can’t watch this year. There is nothing exciting. The fights are all the same. I love Royce and Tami. Susie is a non m*****f***** factor lol. I just can’t stand her lisp. Is Shaunie even on the show? Jennifer is a wanna be mean girl but Evelyn. Lord she is a HOT MESS! Meeka is a wanna be. They need to bring the blond back from season 1 that may or may not have slept with Eric. She was more interesting than all the others combined lol.

    I agree Plath your recaps are the best thing about this show. I feel bad we boosted you up to do recaps and this season has been so wack. I loathe Evelyn and ocho, so glad you skipped them too, except the part where he told her she needs to lose weight, hahahaha. How she tried to pass off his asshole ways as being his “funny personality” yah right. Keep telling yourself that honey.

    Eric may look like Shreks donkey, but the boy is balling and has earned his keeps. I respect him for who he is and what he stands for. There is nothing fake about him. He is a boy from the projects of New Jersey and has worked hard for what he has. I am a real ass woman and respect real ass people. None of these women have earned a dam thing on their own, but Royce, and Tami as far as I can see. Tami had an acting career long before this show, and has kept it real when it comes to her past and her life. What didn’t kill her has made her stronger. Royce is very well educated, from the hood, but has a vision and her own thing going for herself, despite the fact she and Dwight have had their issues. I like Royce,due to the fact she’s not trying to be something other than who she really is. You can take that to the bank, and I promise you this is one check on these three that won’t bounce. Eric, Tami, and Royce always keep it one hundred. I like the fact that they don’t let TV and the lights, cameras, money, or make-up change them. Real recognize real. We don’t support our black people enough, and can’t handle realness.

    Royce is a trip. Her new man Brian is only with her to promote his business. What real man would leave his pregnant fiancée ford a “jump-off”. She is a dumb hoe with no morals. Brian’s ex needs to put him on blast! Royce needs to respect her self as a woman. She really seems desperate….too bad Brian is cheating on her, maybe she knows that as well.
