   Awesome recap BBitz!

   If I were ever to be in the D.C. social circle I would run every time I saw Mic. I abhor fake displays of affection, and generally try to avoid any physical contact from people I barely know. I’m not a germophobe or anything, but why would you walk into an event on health care reform & run around like a pinball bouncing from one person to the next, greeting them like a coked-up Barbie? Hugs are for your mother or a good friend, not freakin’ CEOs & politicians!!

   Tareq is awful. Possibly the worst RH husband ever. What makes him even awful-er is the fact that he’s got his wife brainwashed. I bet the sweaters hypnotize her.

   Love the Turners!! I would’ve loved for Jason to go Ike on Tareq’s ass, but that would’ve just been too easy & I’d hate to see him get in trouble.

   Starting to like Lynda more, but only when she’s with Ebong & her family.

   I would love to read about this “massive” investigation into the polo gear & car theft-anyone know if it’s covered anywhere on line? I know Mary said in her Bravo blog that they checked everything out & are convinced that Lolly is not under investigation, but I’d like to know the whole story.

   I love Cat for speaking openly about healthcare reform. I have health insurance and I am afraid to go to the doctor because of the co pay and co insurance I must pay. Love Cat! I Love Jason and Stacie for sticking up for Mary. Who cares about polo gear? Not the FBI. Great recap!

   “A phone line can be BUSY. A pattern on one of your husband’s Cosby sweaters is BUSY.” Oh BBtiz-you are hilarious! I don’t think I have laughed so hard in a while! Also loved the Steel Magnolias Reference. That is an all time fave of mine.

   Ok, as I said earlier, that Polo jacket what was “stolen”, that dickwad was wearing it in the last episode when they “re-opened” the winery. I read somewhere that the stolen gear/car happened like 2 years ago..oh my hell, these 2 make me want to barf! -insert eye roll here–

   I loved the fact that Mary was so overcome with emotion that she took her wine with her! Can you say boozer? I can’t freaking stand Crack-Whore Barbie! Hate, hate, hate her! She is now “claiming” that shes has been living with MS for the past 17 years…I call bullshit on that!

   What can I say about Edwina? “are those cucumber sandwiches?” She is crazy! Umm I do have to say that the red lipstick, YUCK. Doesn’t she have a stylist, or a friend that would say, “umm that is not a good color, you should try something else?”

   What can be said about Cat’s wedding dress? Did they get married on Halloween or something? That thing is something else! I wonder which girl is going to get that as a hand-me-down? I wouldn’t even put that on if I was playing dressup!

   I think I know where all the left over bacon and Lynda’s house goes! That poor pug! He needs to go on a diet! I like her house. Love the Kitchen, but I would have never bought a house if the pool looked like that during a showing! Drain it or clean it, or put a cover on it. That was nasty!

   Great Recap as always BBtiz!

   I think Cat should keep her Brit mouth shut. Is she entitiled to our health care system ? If we had a comprehensive plan why would it cover a alien. I suppose it should cover illigal aliens too? What kind of health care do you think you would get as an American citizen in Britian, Canada……

   Didn’t read the recap yet (I’m sure it rocks) but wanted to chime in and say, while Cat’s opinion on healthcare is of course valid (and one that I personally agree with), I thought she was pretty rude to go on the attack on Edwina after accepting a lunch invite (or making the invitation to go to lunch, whatever it was). I think in that sitch you have to at least TRY to communicate diplomatically (no pun intended…ahh maybe a little). Calling a Republican fighting for healthcare reform an “oxymoron” came off as pretty bitchy right out of the gate – she didn’t even hear the woman out first!

   In the same vein, if the Republican event pissed Cat off so much, then she didn’t have to attend it. Why go just to make fun of them? Jason & Stacie are pretty staunch Dems (at least from what I’ve gathered), but they were still respectful. I dunno, the Sarah Palin stunt didn’t really redeem Cat to me. Also seemed a bit weird that she’d be so generally dismissive/contemptuous of Republicans after her friendship with the Bushes.

   (I’m a registered Independent, just in case anyone’s curious )

   Still loving Cat (even as a registered, active Republican who is super pissed health care reform passed). Gosh, the balls to show up dressed like Palin – loved it! Maybe the $23,000 was spent on a ball transplant? Because otherwise, $23,000? really? on what? I’ve been in the ICU for months and sick for 3 years and I had $30,000 out of pocket – including two transplants. so Cat or one of her kids must be really sick. My neighbor is from the UK and he flies back and forth for anything major. He goes in the summer to be checked out for knee surgery or valve replacement and then in 3 years when its his turn, he flies back for the surgery. Cat should do the same. Edwina should be sent to the middle east to hammer out a peace plan because I don’t think anything would shock that woman. no wonder why she advanced so far in the lobbying world.

   I also wished Cat had stayed because there is no way Salami and stick would have pulled that shit on Mary. I also think Jen was rude for referring to Cat as a bitch or being bitchy. You’re an assistant and its not your place to call out a guest on their behavior.

   I want to dog nap Ich! I’ll rescue him from any chance he’ll fall into that gross pool and drown.

    It’s not a good point, actually because…didn’t you guys see “Sicko”? If an American needs health care or any kind of medical treatment in countries like Canada and Great Britain, they just treat you and give you what you need, because it’s covered by taxes everyone pays, so they don’t worry with wondering if you are a citizen or not.

    I also like to add that I am enjoying these RHODC screen shots and recaps!

    Thank God for a funny recap – this show needs it…

    Mary and wine need to have a trial separation – go out with others, see what is out there (club soda, juice) – man, she gets slurry like a mofo. If they made a barbie doll based on her, one of the accessories would have to be a half full wine glass. Boozy Barbie…

    Speaking of Barbies, I am so sick of Michaeleelaellewhatevah – her clingy, love, love, love greetings, her vapid fake debutante shit. You worked behind a counter, Chubs McGrifter came along and now you act as if you are the Babe Paley (old reference ) of the DC social scene. After watching that HBO Sports episode on them, there is nothing I trust out of their mouths.

    I like Lynda, especially when she is with Ebong and her family. I love a lady who has a real drink after work. Although I do agree that she needs to made to go to these events – boozy Clusterfuckfests need audiences.

    Stacie and her hubby are cute – they seem to conduct themselves appropriately and that is no small feat on these shows.

    Cat, Cat, Cat – seriously, can she just go to an event like a normal person? I am not a fan of republicans, am happy that health care reform became a reality, and I think Palin is the very definition of an idiot, but why can’t you just go to an event, talk with people of opposing viewpoints without all the masquerade? I do that often here in DC. Granted, that event looked like the last dredgy half hour of a company happy hour in a bar back room, but why the idiotic dress?

    I mentioned a bit on the last recap about the healthcare issue. First off, I understand why Cat felt she was speaking on behalf of uninsured citizens who have to pay out-of-pocket or not receive the care they need. It was like the doc made by Morgan Spurlock in his series 30 days where he showed how difficult it was for people without med coverage.

    But I have to wonder how she racked up $26,000 so quickly! Her marriage only lasted a year and so she’s probably been in the States for less than a year while that episode was being filmed, soooooooo?
    Plus, isn’t she included in her husband’s coverage? My dad was self-employed and my mom worked a city gig with full coverage for the entire fam. Wouldn’t working for the White House mean complete coverage for everyone, as well?

    Also in the US, docs/hospitals accept people without insurance in some instances. When I was preggo, the hospital my ob/gyn was in was public and had women/patients from foreign countries (Asia, Central America, Africa, etc), and translators in 10 languages were available along with a sign that said they will provide prenatal care for any expectant mother, regardless of immigrant/illegal status.

    I think Cat gets that the show is entertainment and that’s why she showed up to the event dressed as Sarah Palin. Some people are honest about playing up to the cameras and others try to do the whole “keeping it real” BS.

    Does anyone think that maybe Mary wasn’t jumping to her daughter’s defense because a small part of her thinks Lolly is capable of theft? I am recalling Mary’s fingerprint lock on her closet..

    I like Jason and Stacie..they are good people that are fun and are not around to rock the boat or cause drama although they will stand up for what they believe in, especially in defense of Mary and her daughter. I also like how it seems they were casted as the newbies, who fell victim, in a way, to the Salamis conniving ways. The same way we would have as an audience without all those newstories that aired before the season began. (darn spoilers!) To the unseasoned eye, the Salami’s look like a wealthy couple. But after spending some time with them, meeting their acquaintances, then cracks start to appear in their thinly polished veneer. Then, the more we see, the more inconsistencies become evident.
    If all the news coverage didn’t create a spoiler of sorts, Stacie and jason would’ve been our POV, as we all start to realize, and they witness firsthand, that something aint right with the Salahis.

    Where’s Paul Wharton these days?? Gays can’t do politics, too? C’mon Bravo, we need more Paul!

    That was such an awesome recap! Thanks. I haven’t laughed that hard since some of the old B-side days recapping the “Hills.”

    I really like this cast, especially Stacie and her husband. They seem like a great couple. I agree with everyone that Lynda needs to go to more things. Cat is just awful, plain awful. She’s the type of person that you could never relax around. You would always be waiting for the rude comment. I read a different blog ( I think from the Washington Post) that talked about her interviews and the difference in her attitude. Apparently, some of the interviews are done during taping and others after the season is over. They were pointing out how happy and in love with her hubby she was in some and how it looked forced in others (they correlated all of this with the presence/absence of her bangs).

    Has anyone read what happened with their marriage? Was it because of the show? I did read the article where he stated it was bad for his career.

    wow so many things…….
    a) cat’s wedding dress?? WTF….it looked like Jill Zarin’s ice skating outfit
    b) Edwina is the most insane looking person I have ever seen. She needs to play “IT” in the remake of the Stephen King book. I don’t know how she can be a lobbyist. I can only guess people just want to get away from her so badly they agree to sign anything she puts in front of them.
    c) The whole Mary/Lolly facebook thing was really weird. Very vague. I’m still unclear on what really happened.
    d) Stacy/Jason most normal couple on Housewives history. I’m hoping this show doesn’t make them turn.
    e) Cat I want to punch her in her smug British mouth. Such a hypocrite. Own you are a bitch at least don’t pretend to be otherwise while you make rude comments to everyone in your sight.
    f) The Salami’s so delusional they are stepping into Danielle Staub territory.

    As a person in the real world, my point of view is Cat was a beotch for going to the Edwina cocktail hour as a mockery. As TV viewer, oooh how funny. Just have to wonder how calculated. I haven’t followed her marriage or personal tidbits on her. Just don’t care.

    The Lolly thing is a bit suspicious but HOW RUDE for the Salahis to invite Mary to their home and then mention it. They can feel how they want, not the issue. A matter of class to know they were inappropriate. Oops, that’s right, they don’t have class.

    Stacy and fam are AWESOME. They say what most would do in normal situations and seem to represent a real point of view. Plus they are cute together to boot!

    Lynda just seems like a fifth wheel not interacting, just snarking to some. Hopefully she’ll get more involved. And I agree that have a “real drink” makes her more identifiable.

    Any hospital that receives any federal money has to treat anyone who walks through the doors regardless of their insurance status, or income. I’m pretty sure they can’t (and wouldn’t) turn anyone away due to immigration status either. As someone who has been really sick and dealt with the financial part of it, I won’t beat a dead horse regarding my opinion on it.
    My feelings on Lynda are neutral right now, but I do think she has the potential to be a jill in sheeps clothing right now. I see real potential bitchiness there.
    Do Stacie and Jason have kids? I am wondering if they do if they have chosen not to include them in taping. I just can’t find anything wrong about these people. They seem to be kind, not doormats, ethical, with a good marriage. why did they get casted? This seems to be so against the grain – Bravo seems to try to find the most dysfunctional over the top women and shitty husbands.

    Stacie and Jason have two young children that were briefly shown in one episode. I guess because most of the time we see Stac/Jas is at adult events or at home, having adult conversations, the kids aren’t around. They seem like the type to shield their children from adult convos/events. Just one more reason to like them…

    @chemgal-Yes The Turners do have kids. They were shown in episode 1 or 2 I think. They are the most down to earth people that have been casted in a long long time! I have a feeling that they are like Bethany and Jason, and they are crack-ups alone! I can also see where Lynda is Jill in sheeps clothing. Or a Jill/Luann combo. She doesn’t do much for me, yet. I can see her turning on every single person in the end though. I wonder what really happened between her and Mic for there to be no relationship there anymore…

    “..and Edwina would smile through the execution of a kindergarten class as not to break character.” Oh BBitz, that is seriously funny shit!

    This show comes across as more “real” than the NJ franchise – NJ just got harder and harder to watch with the manufactured drama. So hand in there B – I’m sure that there will be some antics at this goat rodeo!

    It’s a wonder anyone speaks to Cat. She really has such an abrasive personality. While I agree with her somewhat on health reform, I am sick and tired of people from other countries telling us how we should do things here. You don’t like it? Pack up your overbite-laden offspring and catch the next Virgin flight to the UK. I am with you Reality – as a viewer the Sarah Palin bit was gold, but it was about the rudest thing ever.

    Poor Mary – that was just the most incredible ambush ever- and Barbie and Fat Slob couldn’t care less about the pain they were inflcting. They were SMILING fer chrissake. If you really thought you had information that a friend’s child was stealing, the normal thing would be to pull them aside and tell them privately. That was just bizzare.

    Lovin’ Stacey and Jason, but they are so nice I hope they don’t end up like DeShawn. Love Lynda too, but agree with you funny bitches that she needs to get with the program a bit more!

    But really love BBitz for making my afternoon so entertaining!

    I just read that Mic says the reason she is so thin is because she has MS. (If true, so sad.) But then she goes on to tell what she eats daily. Here it is: hot chocolate and cereal for breakfast, “not much” during the day, a salad and chicken for dinner. I don’t know if she’s an anorexic, but girlfriend is NOT eating enough. Is that even 1000 calories? Of course, the wine adds to the calorie count. Maybe she eats a big mixing bowl full of cereal, but otherwise, that girl has got to be malnourished.

    Tvaholic: Mics constant, cheerleader-like bouncing up and down is just bizarre. Well, not if you’re jacked-up on diet pills. Oh, and the latest, via Radar, is Mic saying she has MS. Seriously.

    Chemgal: I’m with you Healthcare wise, but damn ol’ Edie was a wet rag. Tort reform? Allowing Insurers to compete across state lines?? Come on Edwina-look alive!! I think maybe Cat’s medical bills have more to do with her whole “I’m 39″ claim, than actual illness.

    I got the impression that it really didn’t dawn on our intrepid Grifters (seriously, Radaronline has about 4 different stories on them, including them forging identities) that for most people, accusing some ones child of Grand Theft Auto (let’s not forget the Polo Gear!!) is a devastating claim that one can’t expect to lodge without a million questions flying your way. It seemed, at least to me, that it occurred to Mic, almost as soon Jason (who was awesome) started questioning what they were claiming, what a mistake bombarding Mary had been. But Tareq was clearly sloshed and on a roll.

    Alison: I totally missed the (taking of the) wine too!! But then, (and please don’t tell tvaholic, chemgal, sarcasatire,or Pcheez) I missed Teresa’s “Mirrah” first time around.

    I’m thinking Edwina was a complete nerd in high school (trust me, I can spot them – in the whole it takes one to know one thread). I’m also thinking she never had to worry about what she might need to wear as part of homecoming court. And women who are smart but not pretty want to be attractive. Somewhere along the line someone told her her makeup looked good and she stuck with it – not caring if it was outdated or looked ridiculous, because in her mind all she remembers is that one compliment telling her she looked pretty.

    No, you’re not an awful person, Spoon. After all, Victoria Gotti lied about having breast cancer to get higher ratings for her show.

    However, it seems Michaele has been talking about having MS for some time. I think she even had one of her infamous “charity” events called “Time for a Cure” or something like that. I don’t think it has anything to do with her weight (from what the doctors have said). She mentioned what she eats in one day, and it sounds like 800 calories, max, unless she’s eating huge quantities or drinking mucho wine.

    I don’t have much experience with MS (besides my HS cheering squad cheering at the MS Bike Tour finish line in NYC.) But I do remember Richard Pryor had it and it was delibitating for him. However, I also believe Motel Williams was diagnosed several years ago and he appears to be fine, in terms of obvious symptoms. He does shill diet products, I think like a juicer or something, now. Not diet, to stay thin, but for healthy living, which I beieve he attributes to his health/strength. I guess my point is that diseases affect people differently.

    We’re can’t be sure if Mic has it or not but if she’s lying, she will face the music soon enough. I mean why say, MS? If she said diabetes and that’s why she’s thin, it would be easier to believe since many diabetes have low carb diets, quite similar to the Atkins diet. Oh well..I just don’t get the point of the Salahis’ lies..they seem so unnecessary and not even beneficial to them. Is it just a pathological need to stay in the papers or to have something to talk about at events? (Or to collect charity money at MS events and spend it for themselves?)

    Next week, we get to Stacie ‘at work’. I was saying a few weeks back that we’ve seen Lynda, the professional, Cat, modeling for her book, (Mic and mary are unemployed), but we haven’t seen Stacie in her professional element. Well, the previews show her helping the Salahi’s find some prime DC real estate. And since the veil is lifted, we can only imagine the Bitch Please(!) side-eye Stacie throws when they feign interest in a $12 million dollar house!

    @Bbitz: Now that I’m done dishing on the dynamics and cah-razyness of the ladies, I just want to personally tell you how great you are. I mean, seriously, really funny stuff!

    Some high points (I’ll just name a few because I very well can’t copy and paste six pages in here, can I?):

    Your photoshop screenshots! Mic with De La Soul..brilliant!

    Ichiban! I love that you recognized how lovable he is..he is pure magic.

    Cameroooooooooooon! Haha! My friend has a nephew and his dad is from there, and every time the nephew visits, I shout “Cameroooooooooon!” It just doesn’t get old.. *still giggling*

    Can you (or someone) please explain the “Clarice’ screencap so I am in on the joke? I can be frightfully ignorant when it comes to pop culture references..

    Edwina is so creepy. With her plastic smile and dead eyes…I got chills. Good thing Cat is oblivious to other people’s feelings or she may have been stunned into silence. But I found it interesting that Edwina wanted to have lunch with Cat to get a piece of her husband. Or rather, Ed was interested in Chaaaales because he worked ‘for the Obama administration.’ A few weeks ago, @bionic TV posted a link where it said the hubby worked for Newsweek. But since Ed said that Chaaales worked at the White House and Cat didn’t correct her, I’m assuming Ed was trying to get Cat’s hubby to photograph the event like it was a major moment and not just crudites and Boones in the smallest banquet hall of the DC Marriot.

    @sarcas — I don’t think Edwina wanted Charles because he worked for the Obama admin…after all, prior to that he photographed Bush the Younger.
    Edwina is cold and calculating but make no mistake on her intelligence. You don’t become one of the best lobbyists in DC without some brains.
    Cat is just a bitch. Agree or not with Edwinas politics – she at least is successful in her chosen field. Cat? Not so much, unless you count making out with a drunk as shit Prince Harry as success.

    I had a part time job a few years back and we had a contract with the Montel Williams show. I had a couple of chances to talk with him on the phone to both give and get some information from him. He really is a gentleman and a really great guy as were all the people that I interacted with that worked for him. Sorry for the tangent!
    @Reality check its probably because they “live” in DC hotels most of the time. She claimed they do it because they are so busy with social events.

Spoon called her out on it (which she admitted she didn’t know the history) Cheez defended herself and explained why.
    You mistook her apology which was aimed at everyone else and not really at you and thought in your head “i’m the winner”. Just because we don’t agree with you doesn’t mean we can’t comment or avoid something you post. I’m sick of having to walk on eggshells around these boards because of you. And while we are at it, since you are sharing that you are upset by something, I myself found you and Matt Lam’s post on newsgasm to be highly inappropriate and distasteful.

    In the past week, she and I have posted on the Hawaii 5-0 trailer cap, Thintervention, and several Newsgasm stories. But it wasn’t until the 2nd day of the DC recap being up that she decides, once again, to lay into me.

    I have no intention to fight on the boards. I do respond when people call me out but on this issue, it has gone far enough. Nothing I can say or do will make Pcheez or Chemgal like me, which is fine..but civility is key on the boards and these kind of attacks are unnecessary.

    Prodigal Cheez, I really like you a lot and I think you are very smart, but somehow…I feel as though your attacks on Sarcastire are troubling and confusing in their intensity. She seems completely normal to me. In fact, if I read through forums quickly and don’t see who posts what, I wouldn’t be able to tell hers from most of the other comments – in terms of tone, humor, content, etc. And I read a lot of the recaps she comments on (e.g., Jersey Shore, Teen Mom).

    I enjoy both your contributions to the boards, and I still have trouble pinpointing where or why exactly this battle began. I agree that “strap-on” humor isn’t my taste, but I don’t think Sarcastire meant any harm, and it’s honestly not *that* far removed from other “naughty” jokes I’ve read on this site in my 5+ years of reading it. To be COMPLETELY honest, the worst I’ve seen in terms of name-calling, offensive language, bullying, etc. has NOT come from her in this situation.

Bill Clinton is coming this week to raise funds for one of the candidates for governor and then I believe he is meeting up with the Bush’s. Its always crazy when he’s here visiting – two former presidents in one area means a lot of secret service! As much as people in the area like Obama and it was a bit insane when he was here, they LOVE Clinton and come out of the wood work to try and meet him. Its odd because he’s the only politician/celebrity that makes Mainers awe struck. I’ve seen John Travolta in LL Bean and not one person bothered him and I’ve seen Martha Stewart and Stephen King as well and they will get a wave from some people but never get bothered.

    Holy moly, I didn’t mean to start anything up here. I simply thought Prodigal Cheez’s initial comment (the one about not commenting) was childish and unnecessary. I now understand there’s history involved — but on the other hand, maybe that history makes the “I’m not commenting here” remark even more immature/provocative, rather than more justifiable/excusable. Prodigal Cheez, if Sarcastire is as volatile as you say, didn’t a little part of you know that she (he?) would respond aversely to your comment somewhere down the line? Be honest with yourself…maybe since there hasn’t been a resolution to your problems with her (him?), subconsciously you might have wanted to bring stuff to the surface, so that you could squash it for good this time? I do that in my personal life sometimes, for better or for worse – human nature, possibly

    Anyway, I am just a silly newbie, but maybe it’s good to get a little bit of an objective perspective/mediation, for whatever it’s worth. I just hope all these issues will be resolved for real soon. I mean, what can be done on a TV parody/news website to elicit such anger and obscenity? The Salahis are what make ME angry! Grrr.

    I have always liked and gotten along with pretty much everybody on these boards, so it stuns me that things have deteriorated so much–to the point of name-calling and true hostility. People only get under your skin if you let them, IMO. I love both of you crazy bitches! Poor Spoon–he/she really stepped in it unintentionally!

    Apparently, Michaele has talked about having MS for some time–so much for trying to keep it private. She may have pulled it out again to garner sympathy; she also brought up being offended at being called an anorexic and feels like she is the one everybody picks on.

    Speaking of lying liars who lie: I’m not sure that the Salamis are sociopaths like Tim Gunn has remarked. She is probably borderline personality and I don’t know about him–narcissistic maybe? But in my experience, people who lie for whatever reason will lie about anything and everything, no matter how trivial. It’s in their blood. It is true what Tim said about believing their own lies; I’ve known folks like this and it is like they are living in an alternate reality. (Hey, maybe we all are. People do have drastically different perceptions about the same events.)

    Anyhow, it seems like the Salamis went too far in dragging Bravo into their lies and they are OFF THE SHOW! (I just read this on Popeater.)

    Flipit, thanks for weighing in on the animosity that has developed between some posters. I stopped participating on the TWOP boards because of their heavy handed moderating at the site. After recent events, I am beginning to see why it came to that. I enjoy the well thought out comments, snark, personal anecdotes and Housewives Obsession alot of us seem too share, which means we may have to endure comments or posters we don’t agree with. However, the name calling and swearing at other posters crosses the line, even when it is a poster I generally like and find offers excellent insight and dish about the howives.

    If anyone is interested, Andy (or Abigail) Cohen will be on Wendy Williams today. Hopefully she will grill Abby in a way he doesn’t grill the howives during his “after show” or the reunions.

Sort of reminds me of Danielle. And @Flipit…I understand your reasoning for stepping in but why was the disgusting porn conversation allowed to go on? I found that disgusting and disturbing. I have been reading the comments on the recaps and happened to see the whole “disagreement” from the beginning. PCheez completely removed herself from the DC comments for awhile and Chemgal is always diplomatic. Then when no one was disagreeing with “she who must not be mentioned” it seemed like out of every 4 comments 3 would be from her. And I was so bored that I quit reading the comments because it felt like “someone” was trying to be the mini recapper. 17 comments so far on this recap alone from “self-important” with over 25 different gasmi poster’s and my comment is showing comment #97…Whats up with that???

    Love Cat. The way she toyed with and laid bare “famous healthcare lobbyist” Edwina Rogers reminded me of the way Katy Couric took a scalpel to the Sarah Palin’s skull to show the world there was nothing in there. Except Cat was more ruthless. You go, Cat!! If the Dems had half the balls you have, they’d be winning these midterms instead of cringing like the cowards they are. And I agree with Cat – the British National Health Service may not be provide a 5-star experience, but it often comes close, and everyone gets at least a 3-star experience. I know. I got sick in the UK once, and the medical care I received should make us ashamed of our own.

     I am sooooo sick of this. When is enough, enough? As a 30 yr old woman, a mother, I think it looks silly to fight online. And what does it accomplish?

     @PCheez said she wanted to respect the recappers and not fight on recaps so she started a ‘resolution’ board in the General Chat area of the forums. After 15 or so pages of her calling me names like ‘sarcasshole’ and ‘retard’, I joined in to resolve things. I was abruptly told that PCheez had no interest in a resolution. she then ‘moved on’ (her words) to another thread she created in The Housewives forum. There, she continued to call me names. I asked her, politely, to please refrain from calling me names. She..(gasp!) agreed!

     Since, we’ve both commented on atleast 3 other recaps this week without incident! Now, all of a sudden, she launches a full on, profanity-laced attack without provocation from me.
     @chemgal immediately joins in with PCheez, although chemgal and I were both commenting here without incident.

     I think @Chemgal said it best (on the forum), “Trying to avoid shit stirring, but now I picture sarcas as Micheal Corleone in Part III “everytime I try to get out they pull me back in”.”

     Truer words have never been spoken..

     Re: the Newsgasm post, I apologized on the board if anyone was offended. We were joking and perhaps, we went too far.

     I do take issue with PCheez insulting me from her sanctimonious soapbox.
     She posted a XXX-NSFW link of Dr. Laura on newsgasm with Dr. Laura, buck naked, legs spread, exposing her genitalia. It was accompanied by a flippant, “if the moderators don’t like it they can remove it.”

     @RealityCheck, @Pcheez, or anyone who wants to toss false accusations my way.. (Plagerism?? Please.) Here’s what you can do:

     Copy it. Paste it. Prove it.

     Other than that, we’ll all assume it’s just another ploy to divide the board with disruptive behavior while blaming it on me.

     To quote Mary, a personal favorite of mine, “this is a whole bunch of dysfunction.”

     According to some DC blogs there was never any police reports filed by the Salahis about the stolen car and polo gear. Mary and her husband were on a radio program here in DC and they said that it was all a stunt for the show and that the Salahis made up that whole story. I wouldn’t put it pass them. I can’t decide who I hate more Teresa or the Salahis. I do think that they are trying to be the Spencer & Heidi of this show. They are stupid enough to have read their book- how to become a reality star by being an asshole- okay so the title was para phrased a bit. But I don’t think that Mic is just an innocent bystander in all of this- I think that she is just as manipulative and dishonest as her husband.

     Oh and Mic is now being sued because she didn’t pay for her botox. My question is what business allows you to not pay up front for the services they provide? Oh well you don’t have the money now. That’s okay you can just pay us later. It is not like botox is a life saving procedure. I bet Mic will now try to lobby a new health care bill that pays for botox since she is a powerful lobbyist just like Edwina. And here I thought that my doctor was giving me the good stuff- I want whatever Mic is on because life would be so much better if reality just ceased to exist.

Just when and where were you denied service because you are white? South Georgia? I doubt that was a true story but only for the benefit of her audience. Don’t really like her but she does make BACON! Little tired of the “black guy big thang” storeyline.
     Stacie:You called Cat straight up rude but didn’t Lynda? I guess cause you were only concerned that she was moving to McLean as if it were CAMEROOOONNNN (just had to do that!). What an insult to people show live in McLean. I did like that she and Jason took up for sloshed Mary.

A car was (supposedly) stolen, along with some Polo gear. The only way I can see the Feds getting in on it, is if The Salamis made the whole thing up (likely) and filed what was probably yet another false Insurance claim. But even that’s a total stretch.

     @skatt: Exactly. Tareq can not lie for shit. I mean once he said that the FBI was involved- everyone had to know that his story was complete bullshit. What I don’t understand is why didn’t Mary stand up for herself and tell him he is full of shit. She will probably do what all the housewives do and will probably say all that behind their backs.

     The FBI does not get involved in stolen cars, but the FBI often does get involved in cases of fraud. You when people get into a White House function uninvited by posing at someone else. Oh wait that sounds familiar. Any liar worth their salt knows in order to pull off a lie that you have to believe it to be true. Tareq got it all wrong by including elements of truth from his own life in with the lie. The FBI may be involved, but they are too busy investigating Tareq and Mic to worry themselves with a stolen car.

     Yep and I am with you. Tarq is not controlling Mic. I think that they both control each other or at least both of them attempt to control the image they are presenting except that they are both too idiotic to pull off a convincing image. The show is only into its fourth or fifth episode and already we are seeing through their bullshit. With most of the other housewives it takes at least a season for all their lies to come to light and for the disconnect between who they are versus the image they are selling to play out.

     @Bionic TV: I was kind of wondering about the facebook comment too. Maybe Mary posted something about the car theft, but wasn’t directly involved. That is what I think happened. I will try to find the podcast of the radio show that Mary was on and get a list of the blogs that were mentioned because I think that they talk about the facebook comment. Mostly what was discussed was that there have been no police reports filed in DC and the surrounding areas about Tareq’s stolen car. So how did the FBI get involved if there haven’t been any police reports filed? There are a huge gaps in his story and I am not saying that he lied about all of it, but he did lie about the police getting involved so maybe the facebook comment is the only part of the story that is true. I think that he fabricated the story just to get more camera time and to make himself central to the story line. What a fucking douche nozzle.

     @Giffordsaz: “I hate Andy Cohen for being soft”- does this come from a personal experience with him? Sorry but that shit cracked me up. I fucking love your list. I agree with everything that you hate. I hate it too. I just wanted to add that: I hate people that don’t return their grocery carts to the proper location. I hate people that blare their car stereos when driving through residential neighborhoods. I hate people that speed down residential streets. I hate the cost of tuition too. I hate the people in my calculus class that talk while the teacher is trying to teach. I hate that these people think that the class is so easy that they can talk whenever they want and/or make fun of the people asking questions, but I love, love, love when I get an A on a test and those other people get Cs. I hate that the younger generations are becoming a bunch of selfish, narcissistic assholes just like all the douches that are populating reality shows. And just to bring it around full circle. I hate Teresa.

     Love and Light. Why is that the people that use that phrase are the ones who should not be using it? Not you, tvaholic, since I know that you were using it in jest. But one of my ex friends uses that phrase all the time and she is probably more of a vindictive bitch than Danielle and Jill Zarin combined. A simple phrase is not going to make you a better person- I am looking at you Mic. Running around saying love and giving out hugs, does not make you any less of a liar and a thief. Also saying that you are raising money for charity doesn’t make it true. What makes that true is when you actually give the money you raised to said charity.

     One thing I’m loving (even though he creeps me out), is that I think the same cameramen that filmed Teresa’s children, bulldozing throughout the Boutiques of Jersey, films Tareq and Mic. They have a way of keeping the camera on him when someone else is speaking, and honestly, he looks insane. Sorry to jump ahead, but he and Mic in the WHITE Limo of Tacky, trying to hold their shit together when Stacey said she needed financial statements was golden.

     Other examples of the “love & light” BS-Teresa, if you have to tell people you’re a nice person, or ask someone “ain’t I nice?” Then you usually are not a nice person.
     And wasn’t it the 1st ep of RHODC when Mic was telling her hair/makeup people how she was not a shallow person? That’s just like Kim Z. from RH-Atl saying she’s a great singer, or LuAnn telling us all how classy she is.

     Oh-the whole car thing-P.Cheez turned me on to this amazing column in the Washington Post, I think it’s called Reliable Sources or something. If you go on the website, just put “Salahis” in their search bar-besides all the other articles about them there is a column that recaps & fact checks the RHODC. I think it was there that I read about the whole “car theft” incident. What is sounds like to me is an idiot kid took the Salahi car for a little joyride around the parking lot & took pictures. If I remember correctly, the car never even left the property, it was simply moved to a different parking space. I’m thinking maybe the valets were having a little fun & were stupid enough to take pictures & post them on FB. I’m not sure about the gear, if any of it was stolen or just put on for the pictures during the joyride. Not condoning the idoiot kids, but still, this was absolutely nothing as severe as Tareq was implying; he was just being a lying douchebag who wanted to create drama for the cameras & create sympathy for himself while averting the spotlight & trying to have it glare on someone else. DOUCHE. BAG.

     @Gif,

     Why the hate for fried liver and onions? What did they ever do to you. I like ‘em occasionally. Otherwise I agree with your list, especially the cat thing (sorry J-mo). Kittens are tolerable but cats… JUST NO. I Can’t Stand Them. Please no one hate me.

     Where is your avatar? I did not recognize you at first, a little projection, maybe? I mean you still do hate posters who post under different names right? Super Great List! And thanks for the Andy Rooney, always good for a laugh.

     @skatt and @tvaholic, We are here primarily for our collective hatred of all things Teresa, right? Why oh why do we keep being sidetracked from this? I am beginning to think Tre and Betty Broderick have taken over the bodies and minds of some of our most prolific posters. Well it ain’t gonna work. Teresa we still hate you and Betty I feel so much safer with you behind bars. I kid, I kid. Just tryin’ to keep it light.

     Peace to all.

     @Bridget, this is by no means an attempt to through people off the scent of my own vindictive bitchassiness. I really, really do wish peace to fellow Gasmii, well maybe not crabby senior.

     @tvaholic: you’re right you are probably an asshole:) I totally forgot about the Reliable Source. I should be ashamed of myself since I was raised on the Washington Post, but it a great source for inside information. Its a reliable source. I still in shock that a book has already been written and published that supposedly gives the insight scope on what happened the night that the Salahis got into the White House party. The book takes to task the media for capitalizing on the incident which is completely laughable because that is exactly what the book is doing. Does all this serve as an indicator that we should be afraid for the future of this country?

     Interesting…From the Wash Post comments section..

     “They make up fake histories for themselves (such as Michaele’s Redskins cheerleader past) or grossly misrepresent minor roles as if they were something much bigger.

     For example, Prince Charles. Let’s get this one straight. From what I’ve read Tarek went to England as a member of a Jamestown commemorative polo team to promote tourism in Virginia. Prince Charles graciously participated on the British team they played there. During the meet & greet that followed, just as the Prince reaches out to Tareq, a Salahi employee darts out to thrust a bottle of Oasis champagne in his stunned hand. Click goes the photo. Can you even imagine how tacky that would be?

     Thereafter, Tareq claims that he represented the USA in its polo match with England, and further intimates that he can deliver both Prince Charles and the Queen at subsequent events here in America. And of course, he also claimed that the Prince had agreed to come to his America’s Polo Cup event, using that meet & greet photo as evidence.

     Seen in isolation, these last examples are merely classless acts of self-promotion. But within the larger pattern of fraud and deceit, the term grifter is hard to avoid.”

     The Salahis have a way of standing next to anyone and everyone and having their picture taken. This is how they ‘prove’ to be friends and acquaintances of powerful people. When Tim Gunn was being interviewed by Access Hollywood and he called the Salahis ‘sociopaths’, they were listening in via satellite to every word he said. What was creepy was that they smiled the entire time! After Tim spoke about how deplorable they were, Mic says she was sad because she thought Tim was nice to him when they both attended the same AIDS benefits a while back. Tim was all, “I never met them!” But someone posted a pic of Tim hugging Mic in the comments section. So, he did meet them. But it probably was no different than him taking a picture with any old fan. They probably spent less than 30 seonds together. Like when the Pope comes to visit. He kisses babies, people kiss his ring, but these people can’t go around now saying, “the Pope is my friend.”
     So, we are not fooled by the Salahis and their photos with influential people..especially since not a single person of power or status has come forward in the Salahi’s defense.

     http://tv.gawker.com/5640069/awkward-tv-moment-of-the-day-tim-gunn-vs-the-salahis

     I think Bravo thought they hit a goldmine when they realized just how deluded the Salahis were. We all know the weird and crazy make good tv. And when bravo filmed then gatecrashing, I’m not sure if they knew the Salahis were gatecrashing at the time (possibly, due to the Black Caucus fiasco), but when they found out, I’m sure Miss Cohen was quite pleased to have captured a national scandal on camera. But, with all of the negative press that has come out as of late, all the new accusations against the couple, the gatecrashing is now old news, in a sense. Despite the waves made when the scandal hit, and the face that the couple is on the show, this franchise hasn’t received the ratings that were expected. But this scandal has overshadowed any other minor squabbles or storylines the HWives may have this season and we haven’t even seen them gatecrash yet.

     And, in comparison, many aspects of the previous episodes just seem boring and pointless. No one wants to see countless scenes of Lynda with her adult children/assistant, or Mary and her husband drinking wine, or hear about the biometric lock, or see Cat’s bucktoothed children ham it up for the cameras. Bravo could’ve edited the past 4-5 episodes into just 2 or three exciting ones, focusing on Stacie’s adoption story, Cat’s marriage (will we see it crumble this season?), Lynda and ebong, mary and wine, and all the crazy scenes involving the Salahis, alone or with the others. Bravo is taking way too much time setting up the ‘shady Salahi’ storyline before dropping the big bomb. Problem is, we all know what that bomb is, and have seen the aftermath..so Bravo, get to the point!

     The Salamis are truly awe-inspiring and deplorable people…but they still have much heinousness to go to prove themselves more awful than the mighty Teresa.

     Here’s a bright point: they aren’t procreating at the pace of Duggars, therefore their rein of terror will be merely a Bravo flash in the pan. (In all seriousness Mic probably hasn’t menstruated since the Clinton administration). I, for one would like to thank them for that. Here, have some more $4 Andre Extra Dry.

     In a perfect world we’d be treated to the feral lemur’s teen years of electrolosis and giant-bowed dating. Mommy calling in favors to get eligible teen males into the ring with her daughters.

     Posted September 18, 2010 at 8:06 am

     I don’t know @k37744. I think that the Salamis and the Jew-dice are pretty neck and neck when it comes to deplorable people. Both stole countless amounts of money from various people, so that makes them both pretty awful. What is sad about them both is that they have an addiction to spending money and probably can not get themselves to stop buying shit, so they are stuck in a cycle of spend, spend, spend and then steal, steal, steal because they don’t have enough of their own money to keep up with their spending habits. I suppose that Teresa is worse because she has left behind four demon spawn that will carry on her legacy long after she is dead. You right at least the Salamis genes stop with them. I love it- she probably hasn’t menstruated since the Clinton administration. The fucking democrats just scared the period out of her, well more like her lack of taking in anything nutritious.

     @Robinez: Thanks for the link. I like this bit because it perfectly describes the Salamis overall behavior. “But within the larger pattern of fraud and deceit, the term grifter is hard to avoid.” I was wondering about his claim of knowing Prince Charles. I feel like a lot of people claim to know members of the Royal Family, but really they just took a tour of Buckingham Palace. It is just shameless to take pictures with a famous person at a Meet & Greet and then claim to know them. Shit then I know a ton of famous people. Stars are trained to look good in pictures, so when you get your picture taken with them it is going to look like they are happy, relaxed, almost like they know you, but really they are just posing for a picture. And since when did “knowing” famous people make you so much more fabulous, better, and/or more interesting than anyone else? People have really gotten carried away with the celebrity it factor. Also anyone that is fooled by the Salamis and their pictures with famous people, is kind of a moron and trusting the Salamis might have been a good lesson in being a bit more discerning. Or at least getting the facts before you trusted them enough to give them any sort of money. Although I was reading about about how they stole money from people who had their wedding at the Oasis winery.
     I don’t think that most people are going to anticipate that a venue like a winery is going to be out to steal their money. See this is why I think that the Salamis are as bad as Teresa. Mic probably thought that she hit the jack pot when she landed Tareq until she found out the he was a horrible business man and didn’t have nearly as much money as he claimed. And Tareq thought he had landed him some arm candy until he realized that he was going to have to commit acts of fraud and theft to keep up with his wife’s spending habits.

     @skatt: What is up with the Salamis having to tool around in the tacky limo of death? I think that is the same limo that was used to drive Brenda & Dylan, of 90210 fame, to the Spring Fling back in the early 90′s.

     The Salamis’ just fascinate me because-there’s no “shame gene” there. You wonder, have they EVER said, “Oh, we couldn’t do that”, based on the harm it would cause someone. That’s what I found so interesting about the “Lolly stole from us” scene. They clearly never anticipated Jasons’ reaction. A Father, with children of his own, coming to the defense of a fellow parent? Whoops. They didn’t think of that.

For some reason I just overlooked the fact that the avatar picture is so small and that it would be hard to figure that out. It makes me laugh hearing people’s impression of the picture. I just found the whole Oprah thing completely ridiculous. I mean the incredible amount of ego it takes to just dream that whole thing up. It is like she is saying- “now everyone can fulfill their dream of looking like Oprah.” Because you know that she probably refers to herself in the third person when she is alone.

     Alright well to bring this back to the topic at hand. I hate the Salamis almost more than I hate Teresa. The Salamis are growing on me because I do want to figure out just how deep their depravity runs. I mean when does the awful in them stop?

And even though we have a differece of opinion does not mean we don’t have things in common.

     Oy, not this again.

     @Robinez – First of all, and this has been killing me, can you please start putting spaces after your periods and commas? Your posts are hard to read. Also, the “Cut & Paste” method of debating on here has been used to death since the early days of the site. Sarcastire is not the only one to do it. I’ve seen it way before I ever saw her commentary.

     @RealityCheck – Making fun of how often or how much someone posts on here is lame. Who are we to judge how people use their time. Some of the most beloved/respected posters comment on a lot of shows and write LONG, carefully thought-out posts (Prodigal Cheez fits this bill). We should thank them for adding to the discourse and giving the site the traffic it needs to survive!

     Why doesn’t anyone realize or admit that THIS ENTIRE CONFICT is 99% people’s perception and projection? That’s how it all started – nobody’s actual WORDS were inflammatory. You guys all just thought Sarcastire’s “tone’ or whatever was off on one of the RHONJ recaps – even after she tried to explain where she was coming from. But guess what – there is no tone! We are letters on a screen! THE READER projects the tone! And then, after the ball gets rolling, you look at a screen-name and it comes to represent all these qualities you PROJECT upon it. THEN, when you read the posts from said person, you read it with a certain mentality of “this person is a ______” etc. Case in point, even when Sarcastire apologized, she was STILL getting anger thrown her way. And then we get to a point where people DO start the name-calling and what have you because tensions are high. AND THEN EVERYTHING ESCALATES AGAIN! It is so stupid.

     Everyone needs to get over themselves.

     Amen Bionic Television! I’ve agreed with pretty much everything you’ve had to say about this whole issue (which I have been following, even though I haven’t commented on it).

     Also, I’ve never been much of a poster on this site, but I have been reading for about five years (back when B-Side was recapping The Hills and talking about getting friendly with Lauren Conrad’s mom). I figured I’d throw that out there, as some people seem to betting flack for posting their thoughts on this situation (i.e., you’re a newbie here, you’ve never commented before, etc.)

     First off, I want to thanks BBtiz for a great recap! I think that I mentioned it to him before, but I just want to do it again! Thanks BBtiz! I can’t wait for your recap of This Thursday’s show, it is going to be gold with Mic “cheerleading” with the Redskins…I CAN’T WAIT!

     Second-Can’t WE ALL take a step back to our respective corners?! Please?! I have said this before, in another comment on I think it was NJ. We all don’t get along, that is fine. Whatever, but I don’t really want to read about it anymore! I know that you guys don’t like eachother and that is fine, but it is taking away from why everyone comes here. I totally admit that I am addicted to all of the Housewife shows, and I enjoy each recapper! I know that the majority of us watch all of the same shows, and there are some posters that don’t get along in some but do in others, not sure how that works, but whatever. Just please, let it go, put it to rest, please do someting! Its getting really old! Oh and if you have a problem with me, please PM me, I don’t really want all of TVGASM knowing that you hate me, and that you want to “kick my ass” thanks!

     Rant over! Lets get back to hating the Salami’s!

     @sarcas: Singapore and Australia?!?! How fantastic is that! (I’m insanely jealous. Niagara Falls and Vegas are exotic as I’ve ever gotten!) Sounds incredible and a nice escape from the bullshit here.

     My escape USED to be reading TvGasm…*sigh*

     I watch and I read and I gloss over the garbage,(I have 2 kids under the age of 6 – bickering and verbal attacks aren’t exactly why I get on the internet), but I truly have to say there are some who won’t LET you take the high road. It’s sad.

     Do they have Andre in Singapore? Have a glass (or 7) for me.

     @k37744: Yes, it’s starting to sink in and I’m getting excited. I’ve worked in this industry for 10 yrs, aside from the hiatus I took to work as a tour guide in South America (there’s a hippie in all of us!) but this is my 1st tour. So, I’m excited, if a little apprehensive at the workload and the schedule. Between packing/schlepping 12 trunks and itemizing everything for customs, to onsite prepping and dressing of the 10 background dancers (the stylist focuses exclusively on the artist) for 5 separate wardrobe changes, to laundering costumes between shows, and the flights! It’s gonna be good fun because we do get 3 days off in the middle where I can do a bit of sightseeing, rather than just taking everything in from the airport shuttle or the concert hall. But the thing I want to do the most is hit up a Singaporean food centre for some of that chili crab I keep seeing on travel shows! *mouth waters*

     I will definitely look for some Andre while I’m over there! The bonus of working with a record label is they provide ‘per diem’ which is daily pocket money to cover meals and expenses. However, during prep and performances they provide meals, so I am told the per diem is mainly put to cocktails. Score!!!! I’ll have those 7 glasses for you and I’ll make sure my pinky is well extended!

     For all the fans of Atlanta Hwives, have you noticed that Lisa is absent from the previews? I did but, truthfully, I never really missed her. I figured it was because she moved from ATL and into a smaller home after she gave up her home (let it go into forecosure because they had a $2.9 mil mortgage and after the economic crash, the house appraised for only $1.9 mil and they didn’t want to pay for more than it’s worth). But they moved to the boonies.. whatevs, her man is hot, he loves her, and they have a cute kid! (sidenote: she has 2 older sons with singer Keith Sweat but he didn’t cosign their appearance on the show)

     Well, i read in Essence (shoot me, it was a long train ride and I had no reading material) an interview with Lias artwell about leaving Hwives. She says the reason is she “is not willing to compromise [her] integrity by scripting elements of [her] life.”

     She then goes on to say that the pressure from Bravo to be No. 1 as a show makes the producers want to stage scenes and character development, “forgetting we are real people on a reality show. They will let you know when a scene is flat, so they like to stir the pot. I get it. No one wants to watch paint dry. But..it’s an idividual’s decision whether they will sell their soul for fame or ratings.”

     She also goes on to say that she heard “rumors about salary disparities between RHOA and other shows”, but she has only viewed Atlants contracts so can’t say for sure.

     And of course, she has a book. *rolls eyes* It’s called When the Cake is Made and is self-published. But the other news is she was casted in a movie! A sci-fi film called 6-7-thirteen, in which she plays a pivotal role as a good spirit, Hawaiian martial artist. Who’s gonna watch? better yet, who’s gonna miss her from the show? And who believes her claims that the producers stage scenes and ‘develop characters’ to keep the drama and ratings?

     Hell, yeah, I believe that they “develop” characters and stage scenes for HW–as well as most “reality” shows.

     I won’t miss Lisa, but I will miss that fine specimen of a husband. BTW, he did retire from the NFL. That probably has something to do with their downsizing.
