   when i read the first line I thought you wrote “The Real Housewives of Satan Island.” Guess I need to think about getting some glasses.

   I think either title would work in this case.

   My boyfriend gets drunk and slaps women on the ass. But it’s not disrespectful because I’m standing right there. *laughs*

   My kids can run circles around me and trash the house. They can curse and throw up vulgar hand signals. Still I remain calm. But if you say one bad word about my touchy-feely boyfriend, so help me God, I’m gonna tear out your throat with my teeth!

   Who am I?

   My husband has been in jail so long that my daughter doesn’t know the meaning of the word “Pop” unless the I put “Soda” in front of it. Who am I?

   I act like the baddest bitch in my interviews, complete will all the tough guy affectations. But the minute Drita glares at me for longer than 5 seconds, I backpedal faster than a circus bear on a unicycle. Who am I?

   “I haz a peehnus.”

   Who am I?

   Plathaddict you are the best thing about this show. The only reason I watch is your recaps. Words can’t express the disgust with these women. I am just waiting for one of them to utter the words “please or thank you”. One other question what was the main course of the dinner and did the food get hair in it. I am writng this with my shoes off because when shit is about to go down .I take my shoes offf Duh

   I think that Renee had good intentions when it came to warning Carla about her boyfriend, but because she’s so emotional and doesn’t respect boundaries, everything fell apart. Renee should have pulled Carla to the side and showed her the “disrespectful texts,” rather than call her boyfriend a groper, a cocksucker, and whatever else. I do think Renee cares about her friends, but she quickly makes everything about herself. I’m actually glad that Carla finally decided to show a bit of personality, because being Drita’s talk-to was worthless.

   I LOVE YOU GUYS!
   @sarcasatire, “backpedal faster than a circus bear on a unicycle” I LOVE IT! I don’t know if I laughed harder a that or “I haz a peehnus!” I’m still laughing. Man, I wish I could like your comments.
   @someguy, that is so sweet of you to say. And I agree where are their manners – these people have procreated for the love of Pete! They are responsible for the well being of actual human beings!
   Although, I laughed my ass off when Drita took off her shoes. I don’t know why that was so funny, but it had me laughing for a really long time.

   I slap co-workers on the ass all the time.

   It’s not disrespectful because I mean it as a compliment.

   And that’s what I’m going to tell HR when the next summons to a closed-door meeting shows up in Outlook…

   @Derek Hazelton, I think the thing that always puts me off about Renee is that she is always going for the most dramatic way of being a victim. And if she isn’t enough of a victim she has to make her son a victim of it. So it’s that much more dramatic. I really want to like her because I do think that she has a good heart, but she is so childish about everything being about her and respecting her that it’s really difficult.
   @NotWithoutMTVY It’s only a compliment if your significant other is standing beside you to approve of the ass slapping. Otherwise, you may want to pretend to be contrite in those closed-door meetings.

   @ Plath, oh, I definitely agree with you about Renee, but I think she should have pulled Carla aside and showed her the texts, or forward them to Carla’s phone. She should have told Carla that she felt uncomfortable with her boyfriend touching her (from past episodes, we know that Renee is quick to call Junior to handle these situations!) I think she creates her own victim-hood and wants to be the center of attention, but I was truly proud of Carla for standing her ground.

   Does anyone know if Carla is still with this guy?

    @Derek I agree that she should have calmly just showed Carla the text messages. I think she should have done it when the two of them was alone too. I think Carla felt put on the spot and since she knows that Karen is going to back everything that Renee says at this point (because they are the Bestest Friends EVAH) she had no choice but to stand her ground. So, I agree that it was good of Carla to stand her ground. She was on Renee’s turf with Karen backing Renee up (ugh don’t get me started on Karen) and only had her boyfriend’s side of things. I don’t want to go too much into detail on the fight though because I have save something for the full recap.

    PlathAddict…I cannot WAIT for the full recap.
    TB always laughs at me because I am a small quiet chick that only half watches these shows (I’m either reading a book or on the computer during TV time).
    But everytime that Karen is on I start getting pissed until I explode and I literally shake my fist at the TV and yell “Someone needs to puch her in her doughy face!”

    BTW I am stoked that you are recapping “Basketball Wives”.

    @PlathAddict: Thanks! That’s high praise coming from you..better than any ‘like’ button.

    Once again, I’m confused by the chronological order of our Mob Wives’ storylines. This time it involves Drita. (But don’t tell her, bitch would take off her shoes and drive a stiletto through my retina. And I need both, my vision being 20/10 and all.) How old did her little girl look to you, Gasmii? I was thinking three, maybe 4 years old. Didn’t Drita say her youngest had never met her dad because he was in jail before she was born?

    Well, always a friend to Google and relentless in my quest to find a pic of Lee D’avanzo, I uncovered a bit of info. It seems Lee was arrested in late November 2008. He and his gang broke into a Pearle Vision (ironic, the blind was leading the blind) and they drilled into the neighboring bank, but were found hours later in a crawlspace in the eaves of the bank, after their efforts tripped up the alarms. Oddly enough, it wasn’t a standoff that led to their capture. The cops had other plans.

    “They poked the ceiling and these guys came tumbling out onto the sidewalk like a broken pinata,” quipped the source.”

    HA! This operation was less Ocean’s Eleven and more Mr. Bean. But it begs the question…If Lee was arrested in late 2008, when Drita was supposedly pregnant, and her daughter was born, in early 2009 (the earliest conceivable time), then how old would that make her now? I assume the show was filmed in early 2011, as the mob bust they showed 2 weeks ago occurred in January. That would make the little girl, two years old, at the most. But she seemed to be at least 4 years old..especially with her knowledge of wardrobe items and such. What say you, Gasmii? It just doesn’t add up.

    Here are some articles about Lee’s arrest:

    Also interesting, I can’t find any info about the prison he is locked up in, nor can I find any info on his sentencing. Still can’t find his photo either. This all makes me believe he wields some power and influence, it’s been said the he is the mob BOSS but how truthful can that be when homeboy was busted crawling through the air conditioning vent of a low rent Lenscrafters?

    @sheesh, I know exactly what you mean. When Drita said she wanted to punch the screaming out of everybody, I started yelling “do it! do it! start with Karen!”
    I’m stoked about basketball wives too!

    @sarcasatire, that is some juicy juicy info!I thought Drita’s youngest was 3 at the time of filming, so now I have to do some research and math – I hate math. As for Lee, Wikipedia says that he was leader of a mob farm team for both the Bonanno and Colombo crime families. Basically, all of the stealing he and his crew did went to fill mob pockets. So, he would at the very least be heavily protected because he was an “earner” for two crime families.

    @sarcasatire,maybe the youngest isn’t Lee’s child. I always find it strange that she always refers to him as “Aleeya’s father” as opposed to “my kid’s father”.

    Did anyone notice Karen’s 80s-rific dinner plates? With the geometric patterns and neon colors? They looked like something Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ character in Christmas Vacation would have owned. I don’t know which is more amazing, the design or the fact they survived 3 decades of dinner “parties.”

    Jill, that’s a great point! Why doesn’t she refer to Lee as “my kids’ father?” When she was yelling at Karen for wanting to put him in her book, Drita said, “I’m not going to let you talk bad about Aleeya’s father.” No mention of the other child. Hmmm…
    Drita told us that Lee is “lucky she ain’t a ho.” But maybe his luck ran out.

    Sheesh, yea..maybe you’re right. Maybe Lee likes to be up close to the action and Boss or not, he wants to crawl through Pearl Vision and pilfer bank vaults. Maybe he doesn’t trust that his cronies won’t run off with his loot. The only thing that strikes me as odd is that he has been suspected of stealing only like $240,000, along wiht several of his henchmen. (he was also said to have robbed a truck carrying $1 million dollars in marijuana.) When you divide that amount by four (the amount of men he was arrested with) and consider that he had to give a cut to the mob, how much does he end up with? Doesn’t seem like a lot but Drita sure has plenty of clothes, doesn’t she? And she doesn’t work either. If the youngest daughter isn’t Lee’s child, or if Drita is lying to us about dates… shit, someone lying to us about dates! Would Lee really stand for Drita messing around on him? He can’t even get past her not sending cold cuts, imagine his reaction if he found out she was giving away his piece of the pie.

    Furthermore, I need ta know more about Lee’s favorite painting. We saw it in the living room of Drita’s home and she felt it significant enough to point out to Karen. Karen said she would look at it every time she rode Lee in his bachelor pad bedroom. Does anyone even remember what was depicted in the painting? The devil is in the details!
