The bitches are back Gasmii!
I have to admit that I actually missed these bitches. Even in an episode where nothing really happened, I was far more entertained than I have been by the past couple of episodes of Basketball Wives.
After taking a week off, the wives are back to focusing on the men in their lives. Renee embarrasses drag queens everywhere by taking Junior back. See, Junior is looking at going back to jail, so he has turned his back on his current girlfriend in favor of the drag queen that will always wait for him while he is behind bars. Renee is, of course, falling for his line (and his pumpkin seeds) and is imagining life as one big happy family with her, AJ and Junior. Oh Renee, you dumb drag queen.
Drita sits down to explain the concept of a rat with her daughter Aleeya. The conversation definitely has mixed results. She is proud of her daughter’s loyalty but wants to stress that her dad did do bad things to end up in his position. She also laments the fact that Lee is not around to take on the roving band of raccoons that are terrorizing her trashcans. She takes matters into her own hands with a paintball gun, a flashlight and Carla.
Carla actually interacted with her kids at the beach and didn’t let them drown. Maybe she is just happy because she can now count the days till they are no longer her responsibility, because Joe is getting out of the joint in 11 days and counting.
I don’t really care about Karen, but she is on the show so I guess I have to tell you what happened with her. Karen has shipped her daughter back to Arizona so she can continue her road to self-discovery or whatever she calling this blatant attempt at fame whoring. She tries to garner some sympathy because the families of her father’s victims don’t like her trying to make money based on her murdering father’s name and calling it her life story.
Overall, it was a nice welcome back episode, and I can’t wait to get into the details with you in the full recap. Don’t forget, there is still a giant bag of Cheetos on the line for the first person who can get me a confirmed picture of Lee. In the meantime, what did you guys think of the episode? Are you glad to have them back or do you think the interesting stuff is done? What do you think of Renee’s plans for plastic surgery or, her decision to let Junior move back in? What about Drita’s talk with Aleeya?
Don’t hold back Gasmii tell me what you think!

This was one of the times on TV that I was happy for the blur!!!! This was a non-episode….no drama. What the hell is wrong with Renee? Was Junior her only sex partner? The raccoon/paintball portion was sorta cute. I’m at a lost for words regarding the ‘rat’ conversation. *clears throat* I still hate Karen even tho she didn’t do much this episode
I can’t believe Renee is 41! I assumed at least 50.
Even though she scares the shit outta me, I’d love to secretly be BFFs with Drita. When the zombie apocolypse happens, I want Drita and her paint ball gun on my team.
@Moli, I think with Renee it’s a combination of things. She said that when Junior asked her to marry him basically told her that he was the best she would be able to do because of who she was and I think she believed him. And, he may have been the only guy that she has ever slept with – it totally wouldn’t surprise me. As for Drita. I was kind of giving her the side eye when she was explaining what a rat was, but I do think she managed to save it in the end by stressing that Lee was in jail because he did “bad things” and hung around “people who did bad things.” I also liked the analogy she used about the principle’s office because it shows that she understands she is still dealing with a child and a child’s understanding of things.
@IOS I am shocked that Renee is only 41 as well. I am always surprised when Carla talks about how she and Renee knew each other as teenagers because the difference in the way they aged is enormous.
@Marijai, I know exactly how you feel. Drita scares me but I love her. I don’t know what it is about her. I used to think it was because of the way she reminded me of Flo from Bad Girls Club, but I think it’s something else. I’m hoping to have it figured out by the end of the season.
I was happy to see Carla being nice to her kids for a change! And I still love Drita. When Renee was telling the junior situation to the girls at dinner, Drita was open and honest about her feelings but I think she’s being totally real whereas the bitch-face Karen comes off as the insincere asshole that says she’s your friend while taking mental notes for her ‘book’. But I may be biased because of my Drita crush. And my total hatred for Karen. I thought her daughter was coming to stay not visit for 5 minutes.
I thought Karen’s daughter was coming to stay as well. And how about that conversation with Karen’s boyfriend. Bless his heart he won’t last long outside of prison. The way he was talking about jumping over a cubicle and how his daughter gets on his nerves he doesn’t even seem all that interested in staying out of prison since its so inevitable. I mean yeah kids are a 24/7 job I thought everyone knew. I guess not.
The conversation between Drita and her daughter wasn’t the easiest to watch. She tried bless her heart but “rat” never should’ve been uttered it took away from the lesson of not doing bad things.
I think its really irresponsible for Carla not to tell the kids that their father is in jail. I understand she means well by protecting them but at 8 they’re old enough to know the truth. Yeah I was surprised by how happy and free spiritied she was being with her kids as well. I wonder if she takes medication that makes her so mellow/comatose around her children.
Poor Renee. Junior has no problem boning these other girls but she’s way too loyal. Y’all are divorced its over its done. That doesn’t mean you can’t be civil co-parents but hook up with another man and clam down girl!
Not so poor Karen. She gets no sympathy from me. As has been mentioned on here she is no innocent. She has done plenty of dirt and will probably do plenty more. Yeah I can’t stand her either.
Yay, I’m not the only one with a best friend crush on Drita
. I think its bad genes and plastic surgery that has destroyed Renee’s face…..BUTTTTTTTT going on that ‘young’ picture of Renee she wasn’t much of a looker to begin with.
I love Karen, but then I love my female reality fame whores manipulative and cunty vs. man-hungry and desperate.
@Derek, HAHAHA! Love it!
@Terrence, yeah, that was really weird how she was only there for a couple of minutes. Maybe she was taking too much of Karen’s time away from fame whoring and Karen couldn’t be bothered. Another thing that really bugs, is the time zone difference the reason we NEVER see Karen talking to her daughter on the phone? She is always talking to her brother or her baby’s daddy about how her daughter is doing, but never talking to her daughter.
@Moli, we also can’t rule out all of the shit Junior most likely put her through over the years. Hard living will wreak havoc on a person’s face.
I think Karen gets backflash from her father situation is because she still tries to live that “ganster” lifestyle. Like she always says she dated the bad guy and she also sold drugs. So it was not like she was seperating herself from that lifestyle but trying to make her own mark in the ganster world. Even though its not right for other people to blame her for what her father did. But its not like she was thriving to become a doctor.
Drita with the raccoons was funny my anut lives on Long Island and those motherfuckers do run deep. Cause they have thumbs on their front legs they can lift lids. But alot of ammonia would help that out.
Drita is the Queen B. Of course she sounds/acts like Flo from the Bad Girls Club they both albanian. Those r som tough bitches!
Culture runs deep
Still love love love Drita! She’s got some serious lady stones going after those racoons – I’m glad she’s on my side! Well, I don’t actually know her, but if we ever meet you’d better believe that I’m not doing anything to piss her off. =)
This show is so educational – I never knew that pumpkin seeds was right up there with an engagement ring. Had I known that I would have been married already to Joey (Jimmy?) in kindergarten when he shared his pumpkin seeds from pumpkin carving day. Maybe I should look him up…or was his name Tommy?
This is the first (and hopefully only) time when I laughed with (not at) Karen when they cut to her saying, “Pumpkin Seeds?”
the roving band of raccoons that are terrorizing her trashcans.
^^^^^not for nothin, but trash cans is two words…. just sayin…
arla actually interacted with her kids at the beach and didn’t let them drown. Maybe she is just happy because she can now count the days till they are no longer her responsibility, because Joe is getting out of the joint in 11 days and counting.
^^^^DING, DING, DING!!
Are you glad to have them back or do you think the interesting stuff is done?
^^^^Apparently not. otherwise, VH1 would not have signed them to season 2. Personally, I LOVE THESE GIRLS. every single one of them.
Gosh I can’t stand internet grammer police
@Diane Marie: Since we have a member of the grammar police here, could you tell me why officers like you always end their posts with “just sayin…”?
Is that some kind of passive-aggressive bullshit? Is it like signing flame attacks with “namaste”, or “have a great day, dear one”? Or to show that you’re only partly serious about implying someone doesn’t know how to write, so that you can backpedal if they counter-attack?
@Diana Marie, not for nothin, her name is Carla not arla. Just saying….
I’m not going to pretend there aren’t comments on here that make me want to request that the individual behind them hire a personal editor. But ’tis true, if you’re going to point out someone else’s spelling and grammar mistakes, then yours had better be perfect. Ya know, pretty much like mine.
