Welcome back everyone!!! After many episodes of banging our heads against the wall and praying to Jesus and Ms. Andy that something, ANYTHING, interesting might happen (motherfucker I WATCHED what happened… next to nothing!), we got one slam bang of a finale and then ditched off in the middle of the night like a DC hooker (compliments of Ms. Lynda of course). But now Bravo, having realized it played their first stale hand of housewives, has blessed us with not one, but TWO reunion specials (fucking shoot me). Whether it’s finally going pay off or not – shit’s going DOWN – either on their end (I hope) or on our end (I throw a bag of poo at the main office of Bravo). Either way – it’s armageddon in DC and we’re all invited – even the Salami’s this time! WHY?! ‘Cause it’s the REAL HOUSEWIVES OF DC!!!
Coming to you live from the Historical Society of Washington, DC! As if ruining the Housewives legacy wasn’t enough. That building’s gonna be nothing but crumbled brick and burning ash when this is done.
We start off with Ms. Andy saying an awkward/fake hello to all the housewives while they each “shit-eating-grin” smile back at him. Ahhh… the calm before the storm. I kinda wish Cat would’ve just gotten up in the middle of the pleasantries and backhanded Mic.
Speaking of, I love Cat’s body language. She’s already checked out.
First Ms. Andy asks all the ladies what they’re registered as: Lynda says “Republican… but I voted for Obama” (alright I’ll let it slide lady!), Mary says “Republican but I vote for issues and people” (AKA closet Democrat), Cat says she “might” become a citizen yet, Mic says “Democrat” (unless she’s in a room of Republicans I’m sure) and Stacie says “Democrat” (except of course when it comes to DOMA).
Ms. Andy asks Mic why she chose now, after everything that’s happened, to tell everyone that she has MS. I swear I’d forgive her for everything is she just flatly responded, “Sympathy vote”. Instead she babbles on about her weight and coming out before the media told everyone. Lynda then fires back that it sounds like it’s more BS then MS. AAAAAAND WE’RE OFF!!!
Mic tells Lynda that instead of “blessing your property, you have to bless yourself within”. OH HELL NO! And then Lynda’s all “I do bless myself within!” And she’s all “Bless YOU!” and we’re all “NO BLESS YOU!”
And Whoopi’s all “BLESS YOU!”
And then everyone begins Round #1 of #52 of “I was talking – don’t interrupt”. Fuck me this is going to be a long hour.
Meanwhile Ms. Andy’s just wondering how the fuck he’s gonna stretch this shit show out for 2 hours.
Holy shit. They all start yelling at once and I can’t even begin to make sense of it.
Basically I’m seeing this…
And I’m hearing this.
Although I think the best part of this shit show is Cat just keeps yelling whatever she wants like Mary Poppins with Tourette’s. She just yells, “Plead the fifth!” at one point and then “Burger and fries!” and “Danger Zone!” when they talk about Lynda accusing Cat of an eating disorder. Cat makes “not giving a shit” look like incredible fun.
Ms. Andy then asks if any of them believe Mic has MS and there’s dead silence… until Stacie’s BS PC kicks in and she says, “I’m not in a position to judge” (“…unless Mic is gay.”) Mary tells Mic that she just hope she uses it as a platform and Mic counters with “I have for twelve of my lives!” What?! OMG! We’ve discovered who Mic really is!!!
And because she’s “Ms DC” she was given 3 extra lives. (Is that smile spot on or what?!)
Mic says that the only people that believe she’s not sick are the ones sitting in that room. Ummmm… unless the Historical Society of DC is currently housing 99% of the Housewive’s viewing audience and myself – that’s a lie. Stacie tells Mic that’s a “delusional world”. Point Stacie!
Mic tells Lynda that she has a “hate vendetta” (How exciting! That must really fill up a schedule!) and that she’s angry at her for being sick. Lynda’s all “Yeah you are! Sick IN THE HEAD!” She’s on her “A” game. Stacie, meanwhile, does a good job of speaking plainly to Mic and explaining to her WHY the whole world probably thinks she’s making shit up. AKA you’re the girl who cried wolf. Or the the context of this show…
The girl who cried, “Mother fuckin’ Ichiban!!!”
Ms. Andy decides to steer them away from total annihilation (since we’re only 7 minutes in) and talk to Cat about how people couldn’t understand her slurry speech. I wish Cat would’ve said “ME?! Mary slurred more than an Rejected AA Members Convention!” but instead she just admits to it. Good for her! Aaaaand now a montage of “Cattitude”! It’s basically a long shot list of Cat telling everyone to fuck off and she doesn’t care. I fear that when my life flashes before my eyes at some point – it’ll be very similar to this.
Cat also makes note that “bollucks” means testicles and Bravo never edited it out. I bet Bravo thanks you for the bajillion dollar fine you probably just earned them from the FCC.
Stacie then confronts Cat about how she was a shitty guest at her aunt’s house. I kinda blame Stacie though – Cat’s like a vampire…
If you invite her in, the ensuing destruction is your own fucking fault.
But Stacie says she’s learned that Cat’s actually gentler than she first thought – although Mic disagrees. Cat tells Mic, “at least whatever I said I always said it to your face” and Mic shuts it because Cat’s actually right. She shoots from the hip – and she’s not shooting blanks.
Ms. Andy then says that “Jennifer from Boca Raton” (AKA Ms. Andy from LA) wants to ask Cat if she’s actually getting a divorce. Cat’s response is “Not yet – but I’m looking forward to it.” Apparently Chaaaaahles flew the coop in May and never even said goodbye to the children. Nooooo!!!!
In his defense he was afraid they’d gut him for leaving their preeeeecious!!! (I know, i know – I get one throwback per season!)
Mic decides this is a perfect time to kick Cat while she’s down and says that she never thought they made a good couple. Ms. Andy asks if it was the show that fucked things up and Cat answers with a definitive, “@#%!%”. So that’s a “no”.
After commercial, Ms. Andy introduces us to Lynda’s montage and follows it up with a question about her age, Ebong’s age and if she’s a COUGAR!!! Holy shit, if she was a cougar Ms. Andy’s about to lose the right sight of his face. Lynda just responds that she’s a lady with taste. So true. A taste for young flesh.
Next up, a “race relations” montage highlighting Cat’s horrific “Tyra impression” and Mary’s slurring slur about Stacie and Ted(?) being great friends because they’re both black. Awww memories! Stacie backtracks and says she just feels Cat isn’t great in “certain” situations (not specifically because people are black) and Cat puts her on the spot asking her to clarify that she’s not a racist. Stacie comes back with a too-perfectly placed argument saying that she should’ve just said she was rude. LOL. Oh these ladies. The only way this “she said / she said” is gonna get settled is if it Ms. Andy brings out a giant pit of Jello and they wrestle to the death in it. And if it’s Merlot-flavored Jello, even better.
Stacie then jumps on Cat for using the word racist when she was joking. Ugh. So annoying. Cat was clearly joking because she was teasing Paul about her being afraid that he was “Gay and colored!” Stacie’s just clinging to it to prove an empty point.
Ms. Andy then brings up Mary’s drunken “salons should integrate!” comment and she admits to being wasted. Awww! How did this not then turn into an intervention?!
From…my…cold…dead…hands!”
Time for another commercial…
So that Ms. Andy can show us where he stuffs the dead corpses of his male escorts after every Bravo awards show.
Back from commercial, we’re treated to a “Who’s yo daddy?!” montage of Stacie. We find out that she has found her birth father and it’s all because her husband, Jason, snuck into the Nigerian Embassy with a pizza delivery guy. So… it’s pretty much an 80′s comedy. And she’s going there to meet him! National Lampoon’s Nigerian Vacation! Oh and when she goes Jason has to pay a dowery so that they can “officially” be married. Seriously?! So she’s against gay marriage but is totally cool with being paid for like a piece of meat? Makes total sense. I hope the dowry’s a pack of cheap beer and a broken condom. Ya know, symbolic of her beginnings. BAM!
Ms. Andy also grills Stacie about Erica’s bitchiness and the rest of the ladies join in. It turns into an Erica-bashing except for Stacie who tries to stick up for her. When the Cat vs Erica fight gets brought up, the best part is that Mic quips that “maybe it’s just because two similar people met each other.” The look on Cat’s face is PRICELESS. I swear if Andy wasn’t sitting there she would’ve gotten up and beaten the MS out of Mic.
Mic then tells Cat that she’s made many people cry, including herself…
And the crocodile tears come flowing, drowning everyone within a 3 mile radius.
As quickly as they come though, they’re gone again as she reaffirms that Cat’s made MANY people cry. Then after Cat asks her 13.6 billion times WHO she’s made cry other than Mic, Mic just putters out with a “Well…ME!” and should’ve added “BUT I’M THE ONLY ONE THAT MATTERS IN MY WORLD! EVERYONE IS MEEEE!!!!” She must live everyday like “Being John Malkovich”…
This is totally Mic’s view of how the show looked.
So since Cat catches her with that, Mic then randomly brings up how Cat should see people and not color. LOL. What a bitch! She’s totally mudslinging! Perfect for DC! It doesn’t matter if it’s true or not – just throw everything at your opponent and hope it sticks. I’m totally voting for the Mic/Cat ticket in 2012.
Mic then fires at Cat “Well at least I’m married and loved!” OOOOOMMMMMGGGGG!!!!
You know shit’s getting bad when Lynda looks shocked! “Blonde devil says what?!”
I can’t believe Mic just said that! BOOM! Then she calls Mary the most judgmental! Bitch is just grasping at straws on the way down!
You know Stacie is thinking “Fuck you Ms. Andy for giving me the spot next to Mic.” She would’ve crawled under the couch by now if it wasn’t for the restricting Fraggle sweater she was wearing.
And then Ms. Andy throws to commercial, looking about 10 years older than when this reunion began.
Back from commercial, we see a montage of Mary, her closet and her season long booze-fest. Mary (who is really coming off as the nicest housewife in this reunion) is surprised at how much play her closet got. Ms. Andy then asks the question (from a viewer) “Was it on purpose that wine became the 6th housewife?” Love it! I expected Mary to get up and scream, “She WAS?! Then where is she?! Get out here so I can drink you bitch!!!”
Mary says that she’s not an alcoholic and she’s not a druggie – she’s just laid back. I believe it. I think she’s just a wine-o and she has no worries in life other than what Lollie’s stealing from her closet. Ahhh the life!!! Then Lynda adds, “Well don’t ask ME if I’m on anything!” Oh Lynda. She loves being the “cool” mom. She tells us all that she’s dyslexic and has ADHD so she takes meds for it! WOW! A big reveal and she didn’t even have to! THEN she goes on to admit that she also used to smoke pot! HAHAHHHAAA!!! LOVE IT! She’s just letting it all out!
And at that Ms. Andy gives a panicked look to the producers like, “CAN I GET ARRESTED FOR HER SAYING THAT?! I’m too tender for the slammer!”
Lil’ Ms. Do-Right Stacie practically shits herself that Lynda comes out with that and has a good laugh with Mic about it. I don’t get these women. One minute they’re at each other’s throat and the next they’re sharing a laugh.
“HAHAHA!! Remember when I called you delusional?! Ahhh time does heal all wounds. And by “time” I mean 18 minutes. Besties!”
If someone called me delusional they’d be wearing their ass as a hat, not sharing a laugh with me.
Next up, a montage of Mic’s party-crashing, hug-lovin’, cheer-sucking, brain-blowing lifestyle. Mary calls Mic an anomaly in her life, impressing 99% of us I’m sure that she knew what that word was (thanks for teaching her right before the show Lolly!).
Ms. Andy then asks Mic if she ever actually was a Red Skin’s cheerleader. Mic sputters and stutters out a half-assed response about helping the cheerleaders at one point in the 80′s/90′s/make-believe-time and how she’s a dues-paying alumni of them now. What the fuck kind of cheerleader has to pay dues? Then everyone there chimes in with several different viable sources than confirm she was never a cheerleader and Mic pretty much backtracks to “Well… I’m pretty enough to be one… soooo… Look! Butterfly!” FAIL.
Lynda and Mary note how they’ve known Mic for a long time and Lynda comments that The Salami has put Mic under an evil spell. Ms. Andy asks Mic if she ever goes anywhere without The Salami and she starts crying. What the what?! Why’s she crying?! Is she really under a spell?! Is she garnering sympathy?! Or did she just remember that she forgot to feed Sparkles before she left the house?!
Ms. Andy then says he’s going to bring out “The Salami” and Lynda lays the SMACK DOWN and says there’s no way in hell he’s coming out to join them unless she’s got Ebong there to protect her! Ms. Andy says he’s strong enough to protect them – and we all have a good laugh.
Can you imagine? “The Salami” pounding the bacon out of Lynda while Ms. Andy screams “NO!!! Don’t get blood on my couch!!! Or my face! My pretty face!”
And that’s it! I have to say the reunion has definitely been on the more-exciting side of this season and I look forward to next week when everything seemingly comes to a head. I’m also looking forward to the Enola Gay flying over and dropping off The Salami. What did everyone think?! Much to snark about! Come on kids and DISH IT!!!
Addendum:
Awesome. Too late. I had to take a Xanax and a line of blow just to get through this shit.

Oh shit, I’ve been waiting for this… damn work! I’m totally looking forward to lunch now!
BWHAHAHAHAHA!! Very funny, Bbitz – if Cat had gotten up and slugged that Mic Bitch, I would have stood up and saluted her. Yeah, Mic, cling to that tubby grifter like saran wrap, honey. You are a little long in the tooth to start over. What a “see you next tuesday”…
I am looking forward to round two, hubbys in attendance, and Mizz Andy to tell those social climbing douchenozzles that an email is not the equivalent of an invitation…
I didn’t like Cat when this season started. I thought she was boorish.
I loved LOVED how when Andy asked her how she felt about it being intimated she was racist she looked at him and said “How did you think it made me feel?” with a voice and look that said “Andy. Idiot.”
And now I think she is awesome.
Missy just isn’t very smart is she. It was painful to watch her argue.
Hilarious BBitz!!!! I stopped watching the show because it just sucked to me and just read your recaps but I had watch this mess. HATE Mic! When she said the BS about at least I am married and loved, I wanted to kick my tv. You said it LAC, C U N……… Eh!!!!! Made me really really like Cat and really not like Stacie. Why was it so freakin hard for her to say Cat is not racist, gaw. I got that was a freakin joke, gay and colored and thought it was funny, not racist. Just stupid.
I really LOVED Linda. When she told Andy what was what, his face was priceless. And you know she still hangs out with Mary Jane, thats ok Linda, she and I are very good friends too
You come on back to Georgia and we can all hang out. =D Can’t wait till next week.
Great recap! Just one question-where can I find some Merlot-flavored Jell-o??
I cannot stand Stacie. In many ways I find her to be just as fake and shallow as Mic. Any bets on how long before Stacie starts going by her Kenyan name? Or that her biodad needs a few grand to marry off his beloved daughter?
Blech.
Love Lynda and Mary and even Cat – and I didn’t think I would ever come to like Cat. Her honesty is refreshing and one has to admit that she is very consistent.
So excited for the recap. I haven’t read yet but definitely will!
This reunion made me want to throw my tv at Stacie. She was sitting there saying, “Who said Cat is a racist?” YOU DID biatchhhhhhhh. What the hell were you implying when you said two people Cat was complaining about were black. Don’t play stupid.
Mic really reminded me of Kelly this reunion. Same type of spacey out of it that Kelly was.
Anyway back to reading.
@Baster, exactly!! All I could think of was Kelly – the comments out of left field, comebacks and arguments that made it seem she was hearing a different conversation in her head … I hate to say it, but I’ll miss Mic (and even Tareq) if they don’t come back. They’re no more bat shit crazy than Kelly B and they’re pretty much the only entertainment on this awful show. I’m fine with housewives being unlikeable. That’s the norm. But they have to at least entertain me. And crazy is always good. Beverly Hills looks like it will be a glorious rebound.
And as someone pointed out after Flipit’s short recap, I agree that Stacy must be considering politics. Especially if you read her blog, she can talk out of both sides of her mouth like a seasoned pro and without a trace of embarrassment. “I’m not saying Cat is a racist.” (although I won’t say she’s not) “I’m just saying she happens to have a lot of sheets with eye holes cut out.” Passive agressive and vile. Own it or let it go.
Back to Mic, what was up with the crying when asked if she ever went anywhere alone? That was really really wierd. I don’t think that part was fake. I just think there’s a whole lot more story to be mined from her.
I made it a point to not watch this show, but wound up watching this reunion (sort of). I loathe those gate-crashing famewhores more than ever now.
Oh! The Salami’s were on Gerardo At Large last night and Mic commented on how Jerry River’s purple tie was the ribbon color of the cause de jour, bullying, which is what everyone is doing to them. I had to change the channel when she started trying to force some crocodile tears out of her eyes…
This reunion was infinitely more interesting that the entire season. I couldn’t stop laughing at Mic trying to explain herself out of the were you or were you not a Redskin cheerleader story.
I wasn’t a huge Cat fan during the season. I felt sometimes she was rude and out of line but I thought she was brilliant in the reunion and I loved her called out Stacie and Mic on their shit. Loved Lynda putting Andy in his place. Looking forward to next week when the men are there.
LOL you kill me. that pic of the real housewives of salahi? HILARIOUS. new wallpaper. thnxloveyacallmemeanitlunch
Stacie is offended by gay marriage but not offended when she finds out her father has 2 wives and requires a dowry! Talk about screwy morals. It’s degrading for women to be in cultures that allow multi-wives and dowrys have bankrupted families for centuries. Not liking her.
Where was Ichiban???????
@susanl, Stacy made a point of saying that multiple wives were “legal” and accepted in Nigerian culture so she was ok with it. I couldn’t believe that Andy didn’t ask her right there that if gay marriage then became legal here, would she accept it. He’s such a terrible interviewer. But I would love to hear her answer. I suspect it would be quite slippery. She’s like the governor from Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. “Oooh, I love to dance a little sidestep…”
Just on the first page and already loving your recap – great job Bbitz!
I really disliked Stacie after this. I’ve been back and forth and I think she’s a big ole 2-face. Also, I don’t think anyone on the show is really racist and am completely over hearing about it. The dowry business is absolutely ridonkle.
The Mic’s fake crying was so ridiculous. She just squished her face up. (Which looked a lot better. She get a pre-show peel or something?) I wish Cat had called her out on her lack of tears. When the Mic made the completely non-sequitur comeback about “at least being loved” I wanted to punch her in the back. Ya dumb bitch. She’s obviously a manipulator and a liar and I think she is the bigger brains in that operation. Not that that says much.
Love Lynda! I don’t blame her at all for not wanting to be around the Salami and have Ebong by her side. I read something about the Salami throwing a drink on Lynda prior to this taping. Was it on LynnNChicago? I’ll have to go back and check. Hope I’m not making that up…
Great recap Bbizt! Lurve ya and your mad photoshopping skills tons!!!
Wait,what? Bbitz: You have never done me wrong until now. How could you just gloss over/not mention one the biggest oh know she didn’t moments of the show? When Mic told Cat that if she could love herself than she could get Charles back. I gasped out loud when I head that FUCKING CUNT say that bullshit.
@LAC & @ kdognatl: See you can just say CUNT. Nothing horrible happens. Embrace the world. It is one of the greatest words of all time. I like calling men cunts as well. Really the word has no gender. It is all about the how awful a person’s behavior and attitude is that makes them a cunt. Embrace and be proud.
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE CAT!! She is awesome. I wish that I could learn to be a bit more detached like she is and I want to learn from her how to just be honest, straight forward, and direct with people. I would have a lot less complications in my life.
I thought that I liked Stacie- but it turns out that the tide has turned and I really can’t stand how fake and phony she is. I am with @ohralphie and @sue- Stacie is just as shallow and fake as Mic and she knows how to stay right in the middle and never commit or omit to anything. I love how see made it a point to say that she never called Cat a racist and never addressed the other things she said about Cat that made it seem like she was a racist even though the word was never used.
I have more to say but I am about to fall asleep. Well come back when I can make sense.
But I did want to say that I think that Mic was trying to emulate Danielle from RHONJ- Mic was trying to do what Danielle did- she tried to come on the reunion show and stay poised, calm, not engage in saying mean and hurtful things, and also allow the other women to come off crazy while Mic stayed above the fray. As if to show the audience that Mic isn’t the crazy one, spewing lies, but all these other women are doing that. Well Mic could not do that at all. Maybe she didn’t get the same coaching as Danielle. I think Danielle could pull it off because she is way more intelligent than Mic, both the woman are sociopaths, so Mic should have been able to pull it off like Danielle. But Mic is kind of stupid and I think that she still think she can work the air head, I love everyone angle and people will love her despite how awful she is. Also I think that she is still stuck on the story line that Cat is an awful person and doesn’t realize that all venom is focused on her. So she thinks that if she attacks Cat than she can keep others from attacking her and can get them on her side to support her. She is completely delusional.
This made more sense in my head. I better call it quits before I start rambling even more. I don’t know if other people saw what I saw- Mic trying to rise above it all and failing miserably. Everyone there was there to drag her name through the mud
Yeah, I totally changed my tune on Stacie by the end of the season, especially after reading her latest Bravo blog & then seeing the reunion. Funny, cuz I didn’t really care for Lynda at first & now i love her!
For Mic to even suggest that anything she is experiencing comes anywhere near to the bullying that is being discussed in the media right now, is a slap in the face to true bullying victims everywhere. These true victims were/are harassed simply for being who they are, just existing around idiots who feel the need to demean & harm others. Having people confront you about your lies & unethical behavior is not bullying you narcissistic, manipulative dumbass! And that goes for you too KKB!!!
MOTHER FUCKIN’ ICHIBAN
I just love that dog.
Bbitz you are a rock stah! I love Cat and Lynda, Mary is not bad. I have never liked Stacie. I hope for her sake that they did a DNA test, because Nigeria seems to have a bad reputation for producing lots of those fraudulent emails etc.Regardless, girl needs a smack upside her head for even thinking about a dowry. I don’t care if it is tradition/law or whatever she is not a nigerian!! Hold on to your money!! Oy!
Mic gives me hives.
Tvaholic: Color me intrigued. Wine Jello-Shots. Hmmm…..
Ugh… Stacey. Sure. You didn’t call Cat a racist. You just sincerely hoped she didn’t have a problem being around black people.
Susani: WORD. How freakin’ hard would it have been to bring out one more couch (because MO-FO’ Ichiban deserves his own MO-FO’ couch). Then, we could have looked at Him while Mic was talking.
I will admit I was on the Stacie bandwagon. Thought she was the best thing since sliced bread. I have her a pass on the Tyra/Obama thing. Then the whole mother/father facebook thing started and it got a little creepy. Now the reunion and I’m completely off the bandwagon. Lynda has moved into my #1 with Cat a close 2nd. Crazy how these gals will flip the script.
Bbitz..your screenshots made my day. The pic of 5 Mic Salahis was great. I’m sure that’s what goes on in her head, except they all probably talk at once.
I wish Sparkles would’ve made an appearance again this season but I’m being to think he was rented right along with the Thompson grapes.
I don’t think Stacie was implying Cat was a ‘racist.’ Racist has such a strong meaning yet the word gets thrown around all willy-nilly. A racist is someone that not only dislikes a certain race, but contributes to their oppression (i.e. by not hiring certain ethnic groups, or allowing them to buy property, or ride in front of buses, etc.) Bigotry is just not liking or wanting to associate with certain ethnic groups or cultures, without the activ oppression part.
Personally, I don’t think Cat is either. Neither does Stacie, in my opinion. I do believe that Stacie thinks Cat was overhwelmed at being the minority at Aunt Francis’ house. It’s complicated to explain but it does happen. My best friend felt the same way when we first arrived in Salvador, Brazil, which is in the largest Afro-Brazilian state (Bahia) of Brazil. And she’s far from racist. But it does skew things for a second to have lived your whole life in a world/environment where everywhere you go, the majority of people look like you and hail from the same culture, to all of a sudden, hardly anyone looks like you or comes from a similar background. It can be a little daunting at first, which could be why Cat beat a hasty retreat from Aunt Francis’ house. But I still don’t think Stacie should have held that against her..or atleast, I would’ve been a lot more understanding. And I definitely took the ‘gay and colored’ as a joke. Stacie was reaching with that one.
I sure hope she doesn’t use her marital money, from her kid’s college fund, so that her husband can pay her biodad a dowry. I understand her wanting to jump into her new culture with both feet..she’s middle-aged and finally has a grasp on her identity. (and we all know she won’t be invited for bratwurst and saurkraut anytime soon) I can imagine within a year she would have read thousands of books on Nigerain culture and serving yam fofo at Aunt Francis’ Sunday dinners.
I’m kind of sad Stacie has to go to Africa to meet her dad. I was kind of hoping we would see him arrive at DC airport, dressed like the King of Zamunda, with a full on staff of petal-throwers.
Mic was throwing those, “Well atleast I got a man and he loves me!”, bombs at Cat, wasn’t she? So, below the belt.
I need to know more about this Cat/Chaaales story. Did he go out for cigarettes and never come back? Was Cat not alarmed by the cardboard boxes in his backseat when he drove off? But most importantly…who got to keep the dogs??
Maybe it’s just the new haircolor, but Mary’s face looks a whole lot smoother now. Or maybe the caulk she used instead of collagen finally evened itself out.
Love Cat. My favorite snipet is when Jason tells Stacy that Cat might just be rude. I thought the whole hide and seek with the father in Nigeria was just too neatly wraped up.
Great Recap BBitz.
I am a longtime diehard Redskins fan. I have all things Redskins. My pride and joy is a helmut signed by Joe Gibbs. So I can’t believe I didn’t catch this one from Mic.
She mentioned about how it was so exciting cheering on the sidelines to 90,000 fans. Well, during the yrs that she said she cheered, our home was RFK Stadium. There were only approx 57,000 seats and our team at one point had the smallest stadium in the NFL. I know it is here nor there right now because she has been outed. I am just suprised that I didn’t catch it earlier on.

WTH was up with Missy Salami? She looked completely different, and her roots were showing! I hate her more than ever, she never answers anything directly, she hops around throwing fairy dust over everything… Lynda confronts her about her MS, and she responds by critiquing Lynda’s spirituality? She’s been “secretly” helping the MS foundation for 12 years? First of all legitimate donors use the word ANONYMOUS, and it’s not like these people are quiet charitable contributors – why only for MS? It’s not like anyone would have known she “allegedly” has it.
I still like Stacie, but she annoyed me by not just openly dealing with her initial suspicions that Cat was a racist. It was clear she suspected that might be at the root of Cat’s rudeness, it wasn’t really an unreasonable train of thought, and there’s nothing wrong with drawing conclusions – but if they turn out to be wrong, then admit it and move on. Stacie did absolutely imply that she thought Cat might be racist, Erika pretty much came right out and said it – and even at the reunion she called her out AGAIN for using the word “coloured”; which I have to say in the context that Cat used it seemed pretty innocuous, although I can see Stacie’s point. Cat was clearly hurt by Stacie’s refusal to backtrack, and when push came to shove with the Salami’s Cat backed Stacie and Jason – Stacie owed her that IMO. The other thing that ticked me off was the Erika issue. Rather than defend her, Stacie should have just been straight and said, “Look, Erika’s a dear friend I’m not comfortable talking about this. It doesn’t matter how I feel about it, I’m loyal to her.”
I think Stacie is having a racial identity crisis and it’s making her more sensitive than she might be otherwise. Finding out her mother is white must have a major shock to her sensibilities; she doesn’t even use the word “white”, she says caucasian. I think she’s distancing from that aspect of her genetic makeup, but then you add in a black father; and not just a black father but an AFRICAN father and her racial compass is spinning everywhere right now. I think it must be really hard to process the issues surrounding her adoption anyway, the bi-racial element must be overwhelming.
@Bridget – SO with you on both the issue of Missy saying that shit to Cat about Chulls leaving, AND her pulling a page from Dumbyell’s playbook on staying above the fray… UGH, big failure in execution on all fronts. Thank God though, because there really are people that feel sorry for that wench and the more of her hideous personality that shows through, the better!
I think Missy Salami pretty much demonstrated what a lying, conniving and mean-spirited bitch she really is here. She knew immediately that Cat and Chulls had marital issues? Really? Amazing, yet she lacks the perception to realize why people might doubt what she has to say about her MS, the White House, cheering for the Redskins? Really? Those attempts at crying were grotesque, and her meltdown at the end was a straight up deflection of having to answer questions abut Tareq. For the first time, Lynda and Mary started questioning HER role in all this bullshit, she’s used to playing victim – the game switched and she wasn’t ready for it.
Cat scares the living shit out of her, everything she does is met with a flat stare and a demand for proof and clarification. Missy dissembles on EVERY point with Cat. I also think she was deliberately trying to look sick and shaky, that woman didn’t have a single strand of hair out of place or untouched-up for the entire season, and her makeup was done to glowing perfection in every scene. She was bordering on unkempt in this episode, her hair was dull and ropy, and her makeup was overly harsh and made her look drawn.
@ZCheez
I just kept thinking what a hypocrit Mic was. She scolded Cat for not having love in her heart, yet she had no problem bringing Cat’s marital problems up, and then stupid peice of shit had the nerve to say that if she was nicer her husband would come back. Yeah Mic, did that comment come from a place of love?
I am like many folks, I liked Stacy a bunch.Now, not so much.
“she doesn’t even use the word “white”, she says caucasian. I think she’s distancing from that aspect of her genetic makeup” Not only is she uncomfortable so are her “good friends” Did you catch the looks on thier faces when she told them she was half white? They looked at her like she just told them she didn’t vote for Obama.
@Robin, I dislike Missy so intensely. I really don’t see anything redeeming about her at all. Not only do I not think she has any love, I think she’s a black hole that just sucks in everything it can to keep it going.
I really don’t dislike Stacie, I disliked how she handled some things in the reunion but I think it reflects her internal conflict more than anything else. I think she’s in a tough position, and for the first time in her life probably feels like she needs to prove she is the same person she always was.
Her pain in being rejected by her bio-mom is real, her sensitivity about the racial aspect of that is really understandable to me and I think it’s completely appropriate for her to question what role it’s playing in her bio-mom’s refusal to acknowledge her. I see a woman who is multi-faceted and accomplished in every area of her life trying to absorb and accept rejection in an area she truly didn’t expect it. I think that little string of thought is playing out across a broad range of her everyday life, and catching her off-guard a little.
I keep going back and forth on her friend’s reactions – I’m really conflicted. At first I assumed they were taken aback by the race issue, but the editing was kind of wonky and they could just as easily have been reacting to the fact that Stacie’s bio-mom chose to keep her a “secret”. That would be a tough pill for me to swallow on behalf of a beloved friend…
I know her position on gay marriage was really disappointing, I was surprised and saddened by it too. But I don’t think the book has been closed on her internal debate yet, she and Jason may very well reconsider their position on that – and I would like to give them reason to want to change positions by leaving the lights on, and the door open. And you never know – one of her kids may be gay; life has a way of kicking you in the box that way sometimes.
I don’t think Stacie’s friends reacted negatively to her saying she was half-white. I think they reacted negatively to Stacie saying her biomom refused to give her info on her biodad. Biracial people are rife in the Black community, there may be surprise when someone finds out but not open hostility. I doubt Stacie’s friends are racist and would be upset to learn she is biracial.
This may seem like splitting hairs, but I don’t think Stacie is against gays. I think she is against gay marriage. Again, it seems weird but many people share this reasoning, some I know personally. They accept gay family members, their lovers are welcome into the family and at events, and they are completely accepting of the lifestyle. But if there was ever a democratic vote for/against gay marriage they would check the ‘no’ box without hesitation. And then they would balk if someone insisted they were anti-gay. I think people hold marriage to a higher accord than they do sexual orientation, even though the two are definitely intertwined. But, some folks are so old school..marriage to them is the Cleavers/Partridge family fantasy and they can’t see anything beyond that.
@ZCheez
I liked her a bunch at first because she, more than anyone, acted as though she had the “We Are The World” kinda vibe. So did the hubby and when he mentioned the penis thing with the guys, it was a fun moment to watch. Does anyone remember what Chaaaals said? Something like “yeah, talk about size in front of the white guy” LOLOL Anyway I thought they were both very down to earth considering they could have been really snooty taking into consideration their education alone. Then slowly but surely they seemed to, in every episode, talk about race and ask loaded questions.
I also had a problem, well, a BIG problem, as you know, with they way that they thought it was hilarious to put something so personal on a facebook page. Her mother gave her up so she could have all the things that Stacy has indeed recieved and all the Mother asked from Stacy was to please, as is apparent from her request to keep their conversations private, not to bring her family into her search. Yet Stacy wanted what Stacy wanted and disregarded this woman who gave her life. Also, Stacy just found her birth mother mos before. Stacy should have, at the very least, given her bm more time to get a handle on all these things that were now coming to the surface, before she went into manic mode and wanted to know everything NOW and went about it with blinders on. Giving the birth mother time might have given Stacy the result she wanted without trying to hurt anyone. And I don’t care what anyone says,Stacy did not care if she hurt anyone as is blatenly clear from her actions.
Yes I can understand. I truly do. But sometimes it aint all about you. Some people just can’t wrap their heads around that thought.
TC, Robin
I totally agree with everything you said about the adoption @Robin. I was very disturbed by how cavalierly they went about going after her bio-mom for info. That was really bad, IMO.
My favorites this season ended up being Cat, Mary, Stacie, Lynda and the other one doesn’t
even register, LOL. I had a lot of issues with Stacie as the show progressed, and by far the biggest one was her approach to getting info from her bio-mom. One thing I do like about Stacie is how organized she is when she’s articulating something really hard to define; like during the reunion when she delineated for Missy what the issues were in terms of her credibility. It wasn’t bitchy or condescending, it was totally linear. I really admire that ability in people, and it helped to showcase Missy’s total unwillingness to just answer a question.
Off the subject for a sec, did you crack up laughing when Missy couldn’t bring herself to say SHIT?!? LMAO!!! She sounded like a moron, WTF! Sugar, stuff? No, bitch you’re full of fucking shit! The sugar’s what you cut your stuff with, so you can continue to live in the land of dipshits.
@Robin and ZCheez- I agree about the adoption/birth mom stuff too. Stacie definitely should have at least given her biomom some time. If it came to a point where she absolutely had to know about her dad, then fine, go about trying to find him the way she eventually did, through the embassy. But absolutely leave the brother out of it.
Missy is a PSYCHO!!! There is just no other word for it. I too, at first, thought the crazy train was being driven by Tareq. No longer. It’s absolutely clear that she is the brains and he’s just along for the ride. She couldn’t answer a single question b/c she is full of shit and she knows it. Look at how much damaging stuff we all found out from the internet. She knows there’s no way to spin any of that in a positive light. So instead she just talks in circles and hopes she can get away with it. Which she clearly can’t, especially with Cat. Missy=EPIC FAIL.
“One thing I do like about Stacie is how organized she is when she’s articulating something really hard to define; like during the reunion when she delineated for Missy what the issues were in terms of her credibility.

And that, my dear, Is a sign of a good politician.! I never said she wasn’t middle of the road and easy to swing depending on what she is talking about. She has a terrific way of saying nothing while making both sides agree with her. LOL
@Robinez I totally empathize with you when you thought it was Chaaales in the penis-planning basement, as opposed to Rich, Mary’s husband, who was the man who was truly present. I admit to getting these two confused often, even though I don’t think all white people look the same, I swear (sort of how Ms. Andy doesn’t think all black people look the same, yet he got Ebong and Jason confused on WWHL…guess it happens to the best of us).
This was a super-fantastic recap of a crazy (even by Housewives’ standards) reunion. I just gotta say, before I post and gush, that I was wrong by infiltrating this board with the “anti-gay marriage” viewpoint. This board is clearly pro-marriage equality and I should have either accepted it or moved on, as I so often urge others to do. To set the record straight (pardon the pun) I am currently agnostic about marriage. I do not care who gets married to whom (as long as it is not me).
But, anyway, the screen grab of Whoopi in Sister Act was priceless. And I carefully studied who Bbitz cast as each member of The View, and it came up aces.
Whoa, great catch on that disclaimer in the ending credits about not trying recreational drugs. That is truly one of a kind.
@TvAholic, yes, where does one purchase Merlot flavored Jello? I think that, and some Lynda bacon, would make my life complete
I would totally vote for the Mic/Cat ticket of 2012, because 1.) they couldn’t be much worse than whoever plans on running (and maybe we could balance the budget on love and bollucks) and; 2.) I can’t imagine a president and VP who would hate each other as much since the Grant/Johnson administration of 1865, but I digress…
As Bbitz pointed out, we have yet a third DC sneak-in of the season. Had Jason lost his damned mind to waltz up to the Nigerian embassy without an invitation, attempting to slip past as a pizza boy?? I can only imagine the residual damage that will occur if Lynda is subsequently disinvited from selecting models from next year’s Burkina Faso fashion event due to the social outcry from this…hell hath no fury like a reformed potsmoker’s scorn
And lastly, before Tareq takes the stage and corrects us all, may I just say for the record that Michaele’s horse is named “Sparkle” and not “Sparkles”!?! Clearly the extra “s” you people have been putting on his name have been mean-spirited attacks on the Oasis winery, their equines, and the Salahis themselves. If we truly loved ourselves, we would call Sparkle by his given name, find love within him, and within ourselves. ‘Nuff said.
Lynda turned out to be my favorite. Despite her GOP registration, I loved Ichiban, her frankness and penchant for lovin’ a big hunk of man.
She completely threw Miss Andy for a loop when she refused to have Salami come out and join them alone. I hope some shit hits the fan this week. I want to see fur fly.
One thing about this reunion…no one has stormed out! Yet.
@Robin, I think it was Rich Amons who made the white guy penis comment.
I think the Salamis are out for next season. They could bring in Ericka. She certainly would stir things up. Cat IS outspoken and people can take British comments and humor the wrong way. But I think the real stick up Ericka’s ass is that she thinks Cat’s an outsider snd she should’ve been cast instead of her. I don’t know if I could take a whole season of her sour face every time she and Cat are in the same room.
lol @ Savannah. I also couldn’t tell Charles and Peter apart in the early episode and wanted to make the joke about “all white people looking the same” but wasn’t sure it would be well received, so I giggled inwardly as I do whenever I make a joke. I slay me!
Sparkle does deserve a lot more respect. But with the recent polo club bankruptcy, I fear Sparkle’s destiny is in a jar of Elmer’s.
@2muchbravo, re Erika. I am with you on that one, I am NOT a fan.
I called Mary’s hubby Peter..I meant Rich. (same difference, lol)
Andy is such a terrible Host/interviewer, no joke!! BUT he’s the “bravo” guy now, who did he have to fuck to get that job??
“@Robinez I totally empathize with you when you thought it was Chaaales in the penis-planning basement, as opposed to Rich, Mary’s husband, who was the man who was truly present.

The reason that I was confused had less to do with anybody’s looks, and more to do with the fact that this was only the second episode and I wasn’t sure who the players were and who belonged to who.

I think I hic-coughed 2 times too many.
Robin
Aaahhh – BBitz, you did it again! Love, love, love your recaps. I can’t say anything about these people any better than it has already been said by ZCheez, Robinez, etc., so my comment will go to Sue Sylvester – love the Best Little reference – I can totally see the gov dancing around and it is perfectly fitting in this situation! Can’t wait for part 2!
Someone at comcast is going to feel the wrath of Classy. My dvr hasn’t recorded RHOA or RHODC finale, but has recorded 7 episodes of Jerseylicious! Why Geesus why?!?!?!? WTF!!!!
Very well put @ Sue S. I totally agree about your assessment on missing Mic. I can’t stand her, but I feel the same about her as I feel about Teresa, Jill Z and Tamara. Despise them but would miss them if for nothing more but to be punching bags for the other wives and us. Now Kelly B and Danielle, hate and would love to never see either of them again.
Pretty much agree with most that liked Stacie and disliked Cat at first. Was indifferent to Lynda, but I always liked Mary. But now love Cat and Lynda and really dislike Stacie. I personally think the reason Stacie says caucasion as opposed to white is little more about being “politically correct.” As many commenters have pointed out, she speaks well and seems to put a lot of thought into what she says before she says it.
King of Zamunda! LMAO Sarcas. One of my all time fave movies!
I’m just so over Stacie. She used to be my favorite but somehow I dislike her almost as much as Micheale. Stacie implied that Cat was a racist on several occasions. She has been given several opportunities to clear the record but she refuses to take it back. Yes she never said “Cat is a racist” but her statements would lead any reasonable person to think Stacie thinks Cat is a racist.
@sarcasatire “I don’t think Stacie is against gays. I think she is against gay marriage”
I personally don’t think that is possible. You can’t be against gay marriage without being against gays. Otherwise what reason would someone have for being against gay marriage?
@tiredofthebandwagon I completely agree with your statement that “you can’t be against gay marriage without being against gays”.
I have a hard time understanding anyone who would say that being against gay marriage is ‘nothing personal’. What could be more personal than marriage?
I think to say that being anti gay marriage is not homophobic really is like saying I have nothing against blacks, I just wouldn’t want to drink from the same water fountain….nothing personal.
@ohralphie, ah I see we are opening old wounds and going on the attack even after I apologized for publicly airing my former stance on gay marriage. Stacie didn’t say “nothing personal.” Sarcasatire didn’t say it. So I can only take an edumecated guess that you are aiming your post at me. Holy smokes, just forget it! I’m leaving. I enjoyed this recap experience because it was so witty and funny, but it is too much to be brow-beaten because one happens to have a different view. Everyone was raised differently, and why can’t you be more open-hearted? Shit, I would sit and listen to a member of the Ku Klux Klan or the Black Panthers or whomever and agree to disagree. Isn’t that what Oprah does on a regular basis??
Since it appears that some cannot conceive of a world where one is opposed to gay marriage, but not opposed to gays, here, I will break it down for you: Thousands of years of civilization have proven that the most stable institution for raising children is between one woman and one unrelated man. Those who believe marriage is between one unrelated woman and one unrelated man feel this way because they think they are preserving the integrity and the stability of the family. It is not an equal rights issue to some, because everyone has the same right to marry one person of the opposite sex as long as they are of age. There is no right, for straights or gays, to marry whomever one chooses. A straight man cannot marry a woman who is already married to someone else–there are restrictions. So, in this society, there are some terrible, horrible, no good, very bad people who think marriage should stay between one man and one woman, while also believing that gay people should have legal and social protection, as well as respect. Actually, the majority of Americans, as well as Obama, feel that way.
Like I said, I received some very sincere, thought-provoking comments last week that have caused me to soften my stance on the issue and to open my eyes. But some of y’all are like a dog with a bone, and if someone doesn’t fall for the party line, one is ex-communicated. Yeah, closed minds–they worked really well for Hitler, Stalin, and Pol Pot.
@Savannah Isn’t is ironic you are talking about closed minds in the same post that you deem the most stable instituion for raising children is between one man and one woman?
@Tiredofthebandwagon, I assume your question whether my last post “isn’t is ironic” was rhetorical, as I said I am leaving. However, I, like Oscar Wilde and Samuel Clemens, have a weakness for pointing out idiocy, so I am going to respond: I find zero irony in a post where I ask people to be open-minded on a controversial issue and summarize the argument of the non-represented side, while subsequently saying I have changed my mind. That is, in fact, the conventional way Western civilization has debated since the Enlightenment.
Oh, but on the subject of irony? I think your screen name is rich.
And–scene!
@Savannah I don’t know why you are so angry. Take a deep breathe and calm down.
And my screenname is super old. Has nothing to do with this issue. I just never changed it.
But back on topic…
You are entitled to your opinion. But people’s individual opinions should not be the law.
Everyone is entitled to basic rights, including marriage and all the benefits that come from marriage. BBitz gave a list a few recaps back. So you can change your mind while discussing the history of marriage but I am very confident that one day gays will be allowed to marry. Change is coming. So irrespective of people’s individual opinions, they are going to have to get on board.
Sorry to see you go. Take care. We’ll still be here if you ever decide to come back. xo
Oh yeah I forgot about Stacie’s whole stance on gay marriage….errr another minus. I respected her honesty but did not agree with her opinion. As other people mentioned it is her right to express it but mine to completely disagree.
Cat left the dinner because she feels uncomfortable being in a mostly black group. Lots of white people feel like that and don’t consider themselves racists. Lots of non-white people consider them to be racists. That’s just how things are.
What skeeved out Stacie’s friends was the part about her mom telling her it had to be a secret. If she can’t tell her husband and family she had a baby she shouldve said no thanks. Or if it was Stacie that called her up say sorry you got the wrong person. Not finding your mom wouldn’t be near as bad than finding out she’s embarrased of you.
That’s what messed Stacie up so bad she wants to make drama for her mom, and one minute she’s a fundamentalist homophobigot and then says she wants a dowry so her polygamy dad will accept her. She needs help. Jason is a dickwad.
@savannah – I do appreciate the time you just took to explain your stance more fully. On the original thread you never did clarify on how one could take the highly personal issue of marriage and make it nonpersonal. If you did and I missed it, I am sorry.
Of course everyone has the right to believe what they will, they just don’t have the right to legislate what they find to be ‘icky’ or non traditional. After all, divorce is not traditional either but I don’t see a huge movement galvanizing churches to repeal divorce laws to protect the sanctity of the family.
It is my view that one cannot embrace traditional marriage while allowing for divorce, remarriage, and non virgin brides. How many weddings have you been to where the brides and/or grooms children were members of the wedding party? And yet two men or two women who have been in committed loving relationships should be denied marriage because it is a traditional hetero rite?
These recaps are spot on. For more interesting tidbits about the Salami’s check: http://www.facebook.com/#!/WhiteHousePartyCrashers
@TiredoftheBandwagon, @ohraplhie: I think Savannah has articulatly explained how some people view the sanctity of marriage and uphold it to a cartain standard yet are very accepting of the gay lifestyle and their gay acquaintances. It may seem weird and hypocritical to others but to call a person homophobic because they don’t believe in gay marriage is harsh.
(not directed to anyone in particular)
As I said, I know many people with this mentality and they are far from homophobic. My mom even thinks this way and she loves all of my gay friends and was even aware that my ex-boyfriend is bi-sexual. And he was her favorite! She still invites him over for family dinners and we’ve been broken up for years! Plus, my cousin’s hubby ‘came out’ and after their divorce, moved in with his lover. At Christmas dinner, there is my cousin, her 2nd hubby, her ex-hubby, his lover, and the rest of my family. And they are a traditional Southern baptist family with ancient ideals. They will love and accept their gay friends/family but will mostly be against gay marriage if asked. They may not actively seek out the polls to vote against it, but they aren’t really for it, either. But one should not make a blanket statement that people with this mentality are homophobic. Homophobic people are against the lifestyle. They think gays are sinners and are engaging in disgusting behavior. I can vouch for my 60-something mom that she doesn’t feel this way at all, and like Savannah, I would resent anyone accusing her of doing so.
I am a supporter of gay marriage,(with a gay man’s soul), yet I can respect the alternative point of view. Furthermore, I can also see why debating and trying to convince others of our perpesctive is moot because I doubt gay marriage would ever be voted on by the public. It seems like something for Congress and states to decide upon. So, there’s no need to get so worked up if people don’t agree with you. Their opinion carries no more weight than yours does.
@Savannah, don’t leave. Even you and I have had differences in the past but everything will blow over. There is just one more recap, which will be superfunny and you can make a point to ignore comments that you disagree with rather than engaging in a discussion that will go in circles for 50 posts and wind up leadened with personal attacks. And if anyone can tell why this isn’t the way to go, it’s me!
My father is a pastor so my folks are strictly anti-gay marriage. However, my brother is gay and I am bisexual. They were super sweet to my brother and his BF when they came to the house (trust me, my brother doesn’t deserve it for some of the stuff he does that does’t have to deal with his sexuality). Granted, I haven’t come out to them quite yet but they know I slept with my one ex when I was in Pittsburgh. They took it really well. I give them credit. They grew up in the 60s and 70s and that is MUCH different time period as far as acceptance of homosexuality than my generation. I really respect my parents for that. They don’t discriminate people but they don’t think they should get married. Balance.
Great recap BBITZ. It was one of the funniest ones I have read.
I’m not gay, but my guinea pig is. I can’t tell you all the hardship he went through when I had to take his partner to the vet, and they wouldn’t allow him to visit because he wasn’t “family”. I’ll tell you right now, I will CUT A BITCH if they say anything bad about gay rodents. Then, I will TOTALLY THREATEN TO QUIT. (I won’t do it, but I will talk about it a lot. Like, every week. IS THAT WHAT YOU SHRILL HARPIES WANT?)
If you haven’t seen it you must!! The Crash Heard Around the World – The Salahis. If you are still on the fence about the Salahis, you won’t be after seeing this. The next time you hear Terd and Messy Salami say they were invited, the only question in your mind will be, where can we find a desert island we can send …them to, that is so remote, they will never be heard from again?

And beause I have no hard feelings against those for disagreeing, I just remembered I forgot to shout my girl Tiredofthebandwagon. Glad to see you’re back!
@Sarcasatire: Unfortunately, we did have an initiative pass in Arizona defining marriage as between a man and a woman. I think some of the other states have, too; California and Utah come to mind. It’s true, however, that on the federal level it would most likely be decided by the legislature or court system, unless the anti-gay marriage people try to pass a Constitutional amendment.
And, I realize that @Savannah is no longer with us (on the board), but people around the world have many different definitions of family and many stable ways to raise children. For instance, single parents (and grandparents) in the United States are raising many children these days. Single people are also allowed to adopt children. (I knew a single man who adopted two boys and provided a wonderful home for them.) Also, Fundamentalist Mormons have plural marriages, which seem to be quite stable, since the religion discourages divorce. Other cultures also have plural marriages, and the original Mormons were polygamists, and, I imagine, had very stable family units. This also provides large extended families to help with child-rearing. (I’m not going to address the oppressive nature of these unions.)
Anyhow, kudos to @Savannah for listening to opposing arguments and being flexible in her thinking.
And I agree that the Salahis should be off the show (if it continues). It is not really fun to see their delusional behavior being rewarded with “fame.”
@Pixielated: yes, gay marriage seems to be decided by the States or by Congress (on a federal level) and many have decided against without allowing a vote by the public. However, if anyone’s curious, here are the states where gay marriage is legal: (as of 07/2010)
New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Iowa, and Vermont.
New York, California, Rhode Island, New Mexico and Washington, DC recognize marriages by same-sex couples legally performed elsewhere.
My Brazilian friend just married her girlfriend in Norway and was given residency just as any hetero married spouse from another country would be given anywhere in the world. Could you imagine falling in love while abroad and not being able to stay in the country with your boyfriend/girlfriend? Or, legally work there, or receive health benefits? That would surely suck. Thank goodness she fell in love with a Norwegian and not an American!
@sarcasatire Hey-oooo. I’ve been around. Just a lurking.
I personally think that Stacie’s dad is running those scams that the Nigerians are known for. I am always getting spam mail from some prince in Nigeria that needs me to give him $1,000, so that he can get millions which I will get to share with him. I just don’t understand why he needs a dowry for her now. It all seems a bit ridiculous to me.
It just irked me that Stacie was so accepting when her “father” said her marriage wasn’t recognized and that he needed a dowry for it to be legal. That’s just straight up RUDE as she says. She’s American, was legally married and has 2 kids and all of a sudden his word is gospel. What a two faced twat! I think it’s a scam too.
I about choked when Lynda so non chalantly said she didn’t drink but smoked pot. She’a hoot. I do think she needs to make up her mind on religion. Baptist, turned Jewish, but sprinkles holy water and studies her astrological chart. She also has one of those Budda statues in her house. OH NO! That’s not a Budda, it’s ICHIBAN. Let’s go kidnap that dog. Love him.
I used to be against gay marriage. I said all the same things everybody does, about some of my best friends, and having gay people in my home for dinners.
One day my brother asked me if I remembered our Alabama cousin (now deceased) who would make the same speech every Christmas as soon as a black TV announcer or something came on “Lemme teyya. I lived with coloreds all my life. I worked with’m. I eat with’m, some of’m keepsere house so clean youc’n eat awff th’floor.” sorry I can’t write like he talked. We used to compete trying to imitate his acsent. He had speeches for lots of things, always the same.
The race speech also had things about interracial dating and marriage that I’d rather not say.
He said he wasn’t a racist because he wasn’t against education for black people, but he belived in segragated schools and worked 3 jobs so he could send his kids to a segragation academy
We got into a big fight and my brother said all I was arguing about was which people shouldn’t have the same rights as I did but to me it was apples and oranges and he was the one who was unfair.
I don’t watch the news much, but the day of that thing in San Francisco it was on and the first couple to get married were 2 old ladies which had been together for 50 years. I just started crying.
We had just had a golden annaversary party for my grandparents. The way they and the old ladies looked and smiled at each other was not apples and oranges.
This is way too long and I don’t even know how to explain it, but those 2 old ladies are what changed my mind and I hope they read this.
Sooo…. who else is as stoked as I am for the Part 2 reunion tomorrow? I really can’t wait. The way the commercials come across, it looks like Ms. Andy is going to be pretty relentless on getting a straight answer from the Salami’s about the White House and why they weren’t on the list. I really hope it’s going to be as good as I hope it is!
ME @Jeanine!!!!! I am!!! I wish I had some Bitch wine and still smoked!
I just want to say that sarcasatire made me pee my pants imagining Stacie’s dad arriving at the airport with a dashiki on and the petal girls. Now that is all I will ever think of every time I see her…
@susanl: I’m think Stacie has been on a journey of acceptance. She was adopted and her mother died when she was thirteen. Imagine a girl entering puberty and womanhood without a mother. Even worse, having an identity complex as she didn’t know who she was and where she’d come from. The search for her borth parents meant so much to her and to learn her mom not only wanted to keep her a secret, but also didn’t even tell her dad he was going to be a father.
So Stacie searched for her dad and upon learning of his joy and accpetance of her into the fold, introduced some of her Nigerian culture to her. Stacie, an intelligent woman, may have naturally balked at polygamy and dowries. But, as a child who seeks love and acceptance from blood relatives is eager to adopt the culture to maintain the love she has already gained from her father. While I thing paying dowries is an ancient practice, I can sympathize with the need of love and acceptance from one’s relatives. There was an episode where Stacie says, with tears in her eyes, that “her children are her only blood relatives.” Can you imagine? The only family you have is the one you create? So, she dove headfirst into her dad’s lifestyle/culture purely for the acceptance and love she hopes she will garner. Many of us do not agree with this double standard but we also have not lived our lives seeking a connection through blood in a world where loved ones are only acquired through guardianship and friendship.
Regarding Lynda: One believes she only became Jewish because eh converted to appease her (ultra-rich) Jewish husband. There is a belief that a child is only Jewish if it is born to a Jewish mother. Ivanka Trump and Isla Fisher have both converted to appease their multimillionaire (and ultrarich husbands). The astrology and buddist belief is probably something that attracted her later in life. I also love to read and practice Buddism but I do not consider it a religion as much as a philosophy. I also burn sage and even conduct my saint-mother’s cowrie shell readings in a practice as ancient as a Yoruba tribe but has been prevalant in the AfroBrazilian world of Candomble. it is a way of connecting me with my roots and also the roots of daughter who is half-Brazilian. Sure, astrology and tarot, to some, are hokey, but it does ease the mind and builds confidence when someone needs a sense of direction regarding the paths they may choose to take. Not to say I haven’t been ripped off and some ‘readers/guides’ haven’t made promises that weren’t kept.fulfilled, but it did placate my nerves at the time, and for some, that is invaluable.
@jayem: I didn’t refresh the page (left open hours ago) before posting again so I didn’t see your comment. Yes, imagine the Nigerian dad, a tribal chief, arriving at the DC airport with a gang of servants. All I can think of was that scene in Coming to America when the woman appeared from underwater holding a sponge and remarks to Eddie Murphy, “The royal penis is clean, sir.”
Drinking game for tonight? I would say drink every time M&T try to avoid directly answering a question, but I think that would make most of us on the floor by the first fifteen minutes. So if anyone has any suggestions that will allow us to remain conscious for the show, I would love to hear them! I just can’t wait! I would love it if Ebong threw acid in Trainwreck’s face in retaliation for him throwing wine on Ebong’s woman, Lynda.
@Jeanine – how about a sip whenever Missy laughs at inappropriate times, a shot when she does it and Cat rolls her eyes simultaneously, and whole glass when Missy shuts Tareq down while he’s speaking.
To Wet your appitite for the show in a few hours…
Here is a sneak peek at 2 clips from tonight.. from Bravotv. After the first one finishes let the commercial roll and watch the second one.
#1 Taraq explains MS.. alone on stage with the women!!!!
#2 Taraq explains not getting removed from the Black Caucus Dinner.
if you let it run one more time you get to see the amazing”redskins cheerleader shit from last week.

I fear there is not enough alcohol in my house to get me thru tonight’s shitshow. Of course if I follow Jeanine or ZCheez’s drinking games I’ll be passed out before we get to the first commercial break!
LOL @giff! Thanks for the links!
@mere – that could be a good thing! LOL!
giff-he explains MS the disease or MS his wife??
Jeanine & ZCheez-I want to know what drinking games Mary, Lynda, & Cat are playing on their couch! Like they don’t have a bottle stuffed in the cushions.
GRRR I am so mad at that lying bitch.
I didn’t see the first 15 mins of last weeks reunion, I just saw it.
Did anyone notice how she said she was not anorexic and was “very healthy” WTF? My sister has MS and although she isn’t prone to dramatic’s she would never call herself perfectly healthy like Mic did. She is a fucking liar. She also mentioned that her “before” pics demonstrate when she was taking steroids. 8 lbs does not a steriod regiment make. I also couldn’t believe that she said kept her battle with MS a secret while she was trying to raise money for the disease. Oh for God’s sakes! The only reason that I can come up with as to why she would keep her involvement a secret is because she knew that everybody already knew she was a liar and if she said she had it it would devalue her efforts to collect money for the disease. But then again, she doesn’t give a shit about anything other than herself so I can’t believe I was actually thinking of an excuse for her…
Out of all the Housewives I think she is the most deplorable, ugly, lying, thieving, gross, piece of shit of them all.
Sorry to ramble. I just saw her and the disgust is still fresh.
Can’t wait for part 2…
TC, Robin
I wast just able to watch this last night. I never liked Stacie. After she insinuated that Cat might have a problem with black people because of Tyra and Obama she lost me. So what if she didn’t like them. I am pretty sure that there are many black people who don’t like them either.
I love Lynda and Cat. They were going to let Mic slide on anything.
Then whenever Mic did respond to something there were quite a few times where nothing was said. I am pretty sure I heard a few crickets chirping during those silences.
Just caught II. Wow. I may have to watch it again, good Lord Missy and Tareq are sick fuckers.
I thought steroids make you gain weight. People I know that have taken them looked heavy and bloated.
Why are they not going to bring on Paul/Whitney to confront the Salami’s about not paying for the party. They bring on Dwight but not him? I want to hear their excuse.
Didn’t get to watch yet. Please tell me our beloved Ichiban made an appearance!!!!
@susanl, I wanted them to bring on JASON BACHE!!! That would have been awesome! LOL. Her steroid story doesn’t make sense – I agree. My sister takes Prednisone, and not only does it make her gain weight, it impacts her psychologically. Those kinds of drugs are always monitored closely because of issues with anti-depressants and changes in your body chemistry. It’s very heavy-duty stuff. I can only imagine what MS drug therapy must entail.
I havn’t watched pt. 2 yet, but I wish Lynda and Mary weren’t all doped up- Someone should have stopped barbie in mid speech about her steroid use and quickly asked her to name the steroid she was on- QUICKLY Mic- see you can’t do it- can you. Caroline would have been on top of her with that in a second! Come on people- this is your chance to really come at her guns blazing….. want some fireworks.
@pants – It’s great, a true Goat Rodeo!!! Tareq is Missy’s bitch… LOL.
We’ve been ranting and raving about it precap-style! LOL!

I’m currently coming off of a steroid regimen. When I left the hospital, I weighed 102 pounds. After 3 months on steroids I gained 50 pounds. I am now down to a theraputic dose, enough to make sure I don’t go into adrenal failure as the adrenal glands shut down after extended high doses of steroids. Most people that I know that have MS, arthritis, crohn’s, lung issues and other transplant patients are like me and on for extended periods of time and large doses as opposed to those who have a seasonal asthma issue or injured joint who go on 10mg for a week. All these people have to be tapered off slowly and usually have higher risk of bone loss (I have met a lot of them while getting bone density scans).
@chemgal – that is the complete and whole truth (nurse here). Also have firsthand knowledge – I was on prednisone for 6 weeks and gained 30 pounds, plus had to monitor my blood sugar levels. And, as you stated, you have to be weaned, even when you’re only on it for a few days.
I can’t wait for the recap on Reunion Pt. 2….finally watched. I would love to know if someone can dig up more information about this incident where the fat kid from the Little Rascals threw scotch on little Lynda. And its reported he attacked a repo man who came to repo their car last year- he yelled for Mickey Dubba A’s run get his gun, and threatened the man. After I heard about that, I wonder to myself, why arent these people suing the fat rascal? I mean Rich and Mary- Lolly could sue him for slander- it’s all on tape. And Lynda sounds like has enough witnesses to prove he attacked her. I know people feel like it’s a mute point because they obviously have not a penny to their name, and are fighting multiple lawsuits- but all coffins need one more nail. I wish a great high powereed attorney out to make a name would take their cases pro-bono and drag Mickey Dubba A’s and the fat rascal through the ringer for as long as it takes to make them break. And I have a family member who is very violent when he is drinking and accosted- and if fat boy is willing to try and intimidate four foot 9 Lynda, he is definitely aggressive and violent with his wife. My family memebers wife was in public happy, go lucky love everyone, but scared to death and was never allowed to go anywhere without him. He controlled her every move. If you re-watch the episode whern she is in the salon the day of the dinner, she is at first being evasive with the stylist about the secret, important dinner, and she keeps looking around behind her to see if he is in the room listening before she reveals its the state dinner. She is controlled by him folks, even though she is balls deep in the delusion, he has a violent control over her. And my final thought– I would like to see Theresa and the fat rascal get into a cage match together throw a little money at them and ‘Watch What Happens’ They are both so desperate for money… and I would like to see Lynda cage side hollering- Get em Tree!
These folks were WAY to civilized to the party crashers. thoughts?
