MJ controls the dialogue on this show more than the producers of RHOA control the script of the housewives. Let me give you some examples of MJ’s almost imperceptible manipulations of scenes. Let’s go back to Vegas (sorry MJ it must be done 🙂 ). Although MJ denied once again that she was the instigator of the whole Anita drama, it’s clear from the footage we see that she was. She brought the conversation to the table, literally, no more than three feet away from Anita. Now what better way to get a little jab in at someone who vies for the attention of your gay than to plant a seed in GG’s ear? Clearly, GG is a firecracker just waiting to explode. It was so perfectly orchestrated that without the benefit of the constant replaying of MJ’s comment she would totally have gotten away with it without us really noticing!




MJ is the best person to be on WWHL ever. Get a half dozen drinks in her and she spills the tea. I had heard that Nene gave Reza the cold shoulder but never expected MJ to let that drop. MJ just says whatever she feels on WWHL as if she is sitting in her living room talking just to me. That’s how it should be. It was straight up virgin WWHL guest. I love it. I love MJ. She will deny my perspective on of her on the show, because that is what she does. Here in the south we have a saying “butter wouldn’t melt in her mouth!” That’s my MJ.
Stop trying to make this show happen.
too funny^ LOL yet tru!
This show is happening, and is one of the highest rated new shows. Some of us are on the forefront of what's hot and others take awhile to get on the bus.
This show grew on me. However, I love Reza. His one-liners are hilarious!
This show is so bad and so sterotypical Middle Eastern family with New Money living in LA it is pathetic.Every 1980's film had that 'rich arab family' living in Bevery Hills – think 'Down and Out in BH' or 'Beverly Hills Cop' or evey stoopid movie staring Bette or Shelley or Eddie or Nick or Devito, etc. Think 1985-87 time period – the whole film industry used the 'rich arab' theme to the hilt.So my point is – why is this show so highly rated? I can think of better people to who I would watch show off their money and it wouldn't be these idiots. Guess every culture has their clowns and this just prooves how much Americans want to embarrass those of Middle Eastern decent.I pity the fools who find this type of show worthwhile.
Iranians aren't Arabs
I never realized it before, but your are right Tamara. MJ is the glue that holds the group together.I'm really enjoying the Shahs. Too bad the season is almost over. 🙁
Im from l.a. And most persians here are so conceited and act very entitled and have no respect for others so I will never endorse this show. Btw wonder if kris j had hand in this one too…same ryan seacrest production..and she has a lot of connections with armenians, persians etc
You are so right! MJ is brilliant and she holds the show together. She is the perfect wingman for the hot mess that is Reza. (I loved that she called him out on WWHL for letting the show get to his head). One scene I haven't seen commented on is when GG shows up at MJ's pad to semi-apologize for being a c*nt at Reza's party and she's whining about having so much hurt inside her or some such, and Reza cocks his eyebrow and glances over at MJ like "is this for real?" MJ stares ahead and keeps her poker face and doesn't bust out laughing at GG like GG deserved. MJ is right – she and Reza have mind-meld and it shows. I love Shahs but I think it could work as the MJ and Reza show – I love Asa but her heart doesn't seem into this, Sunny was right GG is just a mean girl, Mike and Sammy seem nice but they don't have much of a story, and I want Anita on the show because she's fly and you can tell she's more of a firecracker than she lets on.
PS Tamara just watched the after show – you were *not* kidding about a half dozen drinks, MJ was lit!
She has a high tolerance! /innocentgrin
