I guess that the powers that be at Bravo were paying attention to my recaps, because we start this episode with a visit to Grandma Edith!!!!! I usually hate multiple exclamation points, but she deserves them. That’s pretty much the best part of the episode. So, let’s just let that sink in for a little while.

Let’s just take this in for a little while.

Be sure to have lots of alcohol ready. Once again, we hanging out with a bunch of sellers who think their properties are worth a lot more than they actually are. I’m only 20 minutes into this episode and I’m feeling it!

JA’s douche levels are at an all time high. I guess there was a meeting over at Bravo where someone said, “Well, we’re giving PopePhilly some quality Grandma Edith time. JA needs to really play this up so she’s good and pissed off by the end of the episode.” Also, Mikey and JA can’t figure out how walkie-talkies work. I also really need them both to stop singing about selling houses. We get to spend some time with Heather and JA shopping for ties. We actually get to see JA buy the ties with fucking guns on them.

Camillo, Madison’s client, is pissed that Madison hasn’t found him a house yet. I agree with Madison when he says that Camillo isn’t being too fair. I don’t really think you can blame your real estate agent if a property with certain specifications just doesn’t exist. Camillo is looking to flip a house and get a 20% profit on it. If that isn’t there, then it isn’t there.

In sad news, Madison’s dog, Rex, passed away. I’m not even going to make fun of this. My heart really does go out to him. In my 28 years of life, I’ve lived only one month without a pet. They really are the embodiment of unconditional love. I honestly hope that Madison is doing OK. I’m now going to go hug Lindsey (Her Royal Highness, Queen of My Apartment) very hard.

Come back soon for the full recap. In the mean time, make sure you check out last week’s recap.

 

PopePhilly

Aside from making fun of reality television on a weekly basis, PopePhilly is a legal assistant by day and avid kickball player by night (well, at least on Thursdays). On the nerd front, she is an active member of the forensic speech and debate community. She spends her time judging at tournaments throughout the country and serving on the board of directors for the West Chester University alumni chapter of Pi Kappa Delta (yes, speech nerds get to pretend to be cool by having Greek letters).

    @PopePhilly, Camilo is one of Mad’s return clients and he’s been featured on previous seasons. As far as I can tell, he’s usually there just to give Mad a hard time and create drama so that Bravo can have an excuse for commercial breaks.

    Also, @PopePhilly, can I call bullshit on the Mad/Heather drama? If someone supposedly owed you $7K, you sent legal papers to them, would you be Facebook stalking them and finding out that their dog died? While I do think Heather showed genuine emotion to Rex’s death and JA was his usual douche self about it, I just thought it was weird that her and Mad are still Facebook friends.

    I love how JF handles all his clients who think their properties are worth more than the market bears out. He listens to them, but he explains in a calm way that they won’t get the money their asking. He’s not overbearing about it, even when his clients (like the ones last night) try to berate him into creating something out of nothing.

    What show will you be recapping next, with the finale next week? I know you pull double duty with HK, and may need a break, but your recaps are awesome and it was cool how you participated in the conversation once the recap was up.

    @Derek: Aw, thanks! I’m hoping to get TLC’s new show “Breaking Amish,” because, come on! It’s about Amish people in New York City. I just wish I could have been in that meeting. I’m not 100% sure what I’ll be recapping yet. I just put in my request yesterday, but I’ll be sure to let you know. :)

    Maybe Heather and Madison aren’t Facebook friends anymore, but she saw a comment or something by a mutual friend. That’s kind of what I figured. Then again, I’m much more selective with my Facebook friends (I only friend people I know and like in real life) than a lot of people tend to be. Perhaps deleting each other just wasn’t a top priority. I will give Heather credit for wanting to reach out to Madison about Rex’s death. I know what that’s like. I had a relationship end terribly a few years ago. I wanted nothing to do with the guy. However, when I heard that his grandfather died, I still reached out to say, “I’m really sorry. I’ll keep you in my thoughts and prayers.” It’s hard to stop caring about someone, and I think we’re seeing that Heather isn’t just a femal version of JA.

    I now need to do a shot of vodka because I just defended Heather.

    @PopePhilly: I totally agree that Heather was extremely mature about wanting to reach out, I just found the whole Facebook thing to be strange. But your explanation makes sense. I guess Heather and Mad would have a lot of the same friends since they work in the same industry and know a lot of the same people. After seeing Heather’s show of actual feelings, I’m sure if JA (and the Bravo producers) weren’t egging her on to force Mad into a confrontation, they probably could’ve come to an agreement on the $7K without needing lawyers to get involved.

    @Derek: I’m pretty sure that the drama is all because of JA. He urged Heather to confront Madison at the party. He was the one that kept talking to Madison about everything. I’m starting to think that Heather’s douchebaggery is just an extension of JA’s. I also agree that it’s probably a lot of drama manufactured by the producers. One thing I try to remember is that this is a show above all else. Something needs to happen for people to keep watching.

    Ok, I now refuse to rag on Madison anymore this season. We just lost our beloved Bichon, Daisy earlier this year, so the pain is still fairly fresh.

    I like Mikey singing. But please…. No more JA singing! He apparently put out a rap song and does break dancing in it. What a famewhore. Now I understand the stupid, immature tie.

    @hutchlover: I’m so sorry to hear about Daisy. I’ll be sure to keep you in my thoughts. *Cyber hug*

    I think I could deal with Mikey singing if it weren’t for the JA factor. Maybe Mikey can go work for JF. Then he might just be adorable. :)

    Your exclamation statement has made me change your name to Elaine, Pope. Top of the Muffin To You!

    Hutchlover big hugs. My boy is on the verge of 15 and for a large un-neutered lab, that is a hell of a long life.

    I feel like JA went after heather to bother Madison…. And now he’s stuck with her because he will look like his true asshole self if he just dumped her AND Madison would have been right about calling him a douche

    I just remember when all three guys were on WWHL and JA response to if there’s marriage in their future… He almot shit his pants

    Heather in the music video was ………

    Thanks, Pope & Labowner. It’s been harder on our other Bichon, Lily, who was just 2 whenwe put Daisy to sleep. Even now when we sat her name, Lily looks around for her.

    PS Yes, let’s change Joshua for Mikey, over in the JF camp!

    @labowner: Elaine is just fine. :)

    @hutchlover: I will be sure that Lindsey says her kitty prayers for Lily to feel better. Not trying to be the super religious “I’ll pray for you or anything.” Kitty and puppy prayers are both just phrases my friends and I use when our pets need some kind thoughts. Also, give Lily a tummy rub from me.

    Maybe we can cause some real drama and have Mikey go work for Madison.

    I just wanna say Madison is a LOSER. i use to like him before he was featured on Millionheir Matchmaker, he’s so boring and 100% self centered, plus his lazy eyes look like he’s mad dogging everyone. He’s only a kiss ass when he has to make money. I feel bad for his Friend! Also i really like Josh now that we know he’s been in a gay relationship, i for some reason think his boyfriend is mostly interested in him for the lifestyle he could provide for him. Lol that’s why he wants that Marriage and Kids do darn bad.. what ever aslong as Josh is happy, hed be smart to get a pre-nup.
