Posted in: Recaps, Shahs of Sunset

Mike steps out for his interview, so MJ takes the opportunity to talk to Reza in private. Observation: The first time I watched this episode, I was not under the impression Reza was freaking out about Mike and MJ being in the office at the same time. The second time I watched, I thought it was pretty clear he knew he had screwed up. It was a dick move to keep the situation a secret and to spring it on MJ at the office, even if she was a party pooper at dinner.

Wow. I think we know why Reza has been distancing himself from MJ. A few months ago, GG tried to get in touch with Reza (this part is vague). After he did not respond to her, she tweeted some extremely offensive things about him. Unlike MJ’s part in GG’s pool fight, it appears that she never stuck up for her BFF. He is hurt and his moustache is sad. Reza says MJ made a choice when she decided to constantly side with GG. MJ says Reza will end up old and alone. Mike wants everyone to use their inside voices because they are in a place of business. Reza huffs out and slams the door in her face. Mike leaves her with some parting advice, “Free the baggage in your life.”

Next week: Reza has an armpit fetish. Yum. Mike’s mom takes him down a peg or two. MJ makes fun of Lilly’s dress and Lilly calls her fat. Reza is worried it could be the end for him and MJ.

Thoughts on this week’s episode? Who thinks Lilly’s boob picture is animal cruelty? Is MJ in love with Reza or is she just jealous that she has to share her best friend of twenty years? I look forward to your lively discussions. Happy holidays, Gasmii!!

    @plockness monster. As soon as GG made her little leprechaun rage face I knew you’d make it the 1st pic in your recap!

    “douche brigade” is a good thing to call them. By the time this episode was over I was wishing every one of their mamas would’ve made a different choice.

    GG’s batshit crazy. Plus has got some alcohol issues. Which they all know. So Asa didn’t need to keep poking at her like she did last week. Knowing it’d just set her off. Just to get that out of the way.

    I don’t give a fuck how compliquated Reza and MJ’s relationship is. There’s no bigger scumbag in the world than somebody that tells about private stuff like that. About somebody else . In a public place and on tv. I don’t care if it’s a boy, girl, transgender or TBD.

    Last week I’d about decided Reza’s character just got re framed. But now I just think he’s a fuckwaffle.

    And then tries to blame it all on being hurt because MJ didn’t make some statement or something about GG’s Tweets. In the 1st place GG’s batshit crazy. So what does he expect? In the 2nd place he should’ve told MJ his feelings were hurt back when it happened. Maybe when he sees this episode. How GG acts with her own family he’ll get it. But if I was MJ I’d be so done with him after the restaurant stuff.

    You’re right there’s no excuse for MJ acting so ugly to Lily. I don’t think Lily’s all that likeable either. But MJ should’ve just said she had plans and couldn’t go.

    So I was already mad at both of them by the time they got to the real estate office scenes. And I’ve about had it with the way Mike talks to girls. I let it slide last week when he was calling himself calming GG down. Thinking well maybe he was just real upset. Because you don’t slam the table to calm down a drunk violent crazy person. And boys don’t raise their voices like that to girls. Not if they’ve had a scrap of home training.

    But then he puts on this tone fussing at MJ like he’s her dad or something. Like she was in there hollering by herself. But I guess in his mind it’s OK if Reza wants to yell. Just not MJ. Seriously? Way to keep those stereotypes going for another generation.

    I still suspect him throwing MJ out of his office was producer driven, though.

    And I’m going to have to call bullshit on Asa’s mama supporting that whole family in their nice house in LA. From working 70 hr wks as a visiting nurse. For $30K a yr. The same amount Asa says she’s got buried in gold coins under the porch. Of 1 of her houses she’s got. So either Asa’s as clueless as GG. Or being a Persian Pop Priestess pays way better than anybody guessed.

    What the fuck. Usually it is one person they single out for the bitch/bastard edit, but this whole crew sucks this season. Was I so enamored I didn’t see them for who they are?

    I love GG just because I can understand her. Anger/alcohol with a twist of spoiled crazy. That I can deal with.

    What in the hell is with Asa’s outfits. And I read a blurb she may win an oscar? Huh?

    Reza get over yourself. Do we know if he has his brokers license or just a real estate license?

    Asa’s need for cash comes from a well-intentioned place? If that were the case, she’d have fewer ugly designer accessories and needlessly expensive crap and be helping her mom support her family. I thought it was horrifying to hear her talk about how hard her mom works and how little she makes after spending the season thus far talking about how much she spends on herself.

    At this point, Mike is the most likable character on the show, and that’s saying so, so little. GG desperately needs to be cut off financially by her parents – she’s a spoiled psychopath; Lily needs to stop acting like a bimbo and realize that Persian Cher is not a good look (and try to track down the rest of her original nose so she can speak with a normal voice again); Reza needs to never speak again – he’s never witty and the idea of him using some guy’s armpit like a scratching post is seizure-inducing; MJ needs to get herself in shape as she’s quickly turning into the bitter woman who lashes out at everyone around her because she’s so unhappy with her own life and appearance and can only elevate by trying to cut down the field; and Asa is delusional and should dig up her gold coins and buy her mom a dishwasher.

    I guess I’m the only one that likes these guys. I am not a GG fan. I don’t think that you can blame alcohol on all of your issues. I believe she says these violent things because she thinks it’s cool. It’s not.

    The model with curves was a joke. I am a thin girl and I probably have curves but I would never say such a thing because it offends others that are really curvy. A la Brooke from Basketball Wives.

    GG not knowing the budget for her projects is her own fault. Why doesn’t she be PROACTIVE and prepare a party and say this is how much it’s going to cost then the responsibility will fall on her sister to give her the go ahead on the launch party.

    I can see where Reza is coming from. If someone said something nasty like what GG said about my best friend I would take up for them. I wouldn’t let something like that slide. So I think this most recent siding with GG has really pissed EVERYONE off and people can’t believe she’s still hanging with GG.

    I am the only one that literally gets mad when these people are on TV?

    I’ve tried with the first three episodes, Lord know I did but I can’t stand these people and listen, Lilly Galichi? Bitch, you are so NOT fabulous. There is nothing more boring that a plastic skinny well mannered bitch on TV. Did you take lessions for Yoly on RHOBH on how to be the most boring, Cooter Lover?

    Sorry, I had to get that out. Man, these people piss me off.

    I was cracking up when GG’s sister called her out on her ridiculous knife/weapon love they showed last season. GG is trying soooo hard to be cool and tough and say all the right things – she looks like an ass. I can not believe she is 30 – what a loser!

    Is it possible to say @alloftheabove about these Priceless Persians? They are so awful they are wonderful, from the drunken tirades to the almost-but-not-quite-there microminikinis. Ah entrepreneurship.

    They just make me feel so good about myself.

    #6 I agree…she is trying to come off as some kind of Angelina Jolie mysterious badass or something. I can’t believe she is 30, either. Her parents have enabled her into a perpetual teenage child with no personality. I saw her on WWHL w/ Andy and Cynthia from RHOA and she was so unbelieviably vapid it was painful to watch.

    I borrowed “douche brigade” from my comment homies over at the Challenge recap, so I can’t take credit for it :)

    Reza is totallyyyy different from season one, and I hate it.

    Labowner – I agree about the edits this year. No one was likable this episode.

    DagnyT – lol at your entire comment! Persian Cher!!! Can I steal for the recaps???? Pleaseee!

    Gyp – my blood boils at least once an episode.

    I cant really say i like any of the Shahs. I CAN tolerate them at certain times. I am so glad that these people are such a train wreck. It makes for awesome television.

    I wish I knew the RH references! I guess I need to catch an ep.

    Asa the Persian Pop Priestess pompously toasting Omid for NOT getting a nose job took it over the fucking rainbow for me because of the fact that she phrased it so awkwardly that half the drunks at the table thought she was trying to insult him and not compliment him. I was rolling. She is queen of the twits.

    MJ is just a mess. She’s turning into a mini-me of her awful mother. Ten pounds of shit in a five-pound bag is not pretty girl. Don’t matter if you bought it on Rodeo Drive or not. And Lilly looks like a pneumatic blow-up doll with extra hair glued on. This buffoonery is so MUCH fun. Great re-cap!
