It’s time for another episode of Shahs of Sunset. Reza has invited the gang to New York for Rosh Hashannah. What could possibly go wrong with this plan? Meanwhile Asa is on a diamond shopping trip looking for a very special large diamond to make her water with. It’s yet another scene where she tells a professional business person this and they try to keep a straight face. The jeweler’s response was. “Oh yeah. Interesting.” Once in the back room to view the loose stones, our jeweler has to maintain his composure while Asa uses her love energy to select the perfect stone. Bless his heart. I imagine there were no dramatic sound effects in the room at the time so imagine this happening in relative silence. It reminds me of when you suddenly needed to crack up in the middle of church as a kid.
Now for the slowest walk ever with MJ and GG and some their dogs. GG is annoyed because MJ called her from the trip she was kicked off of to complain about the trip she got kicked off of. MJ is now confronting GG about her behavior. What is the point of this scene? MJ is now blaming GG for her losing her “friends” Asa and Reza.
Asa apparently buys a diamond (though we didn’t see that part) and heads over to the bottling plant with her magic carpet. Aladdin Asa conducts a um love ceremony on her magic carpet before giving the water tank a big ole hug. And just like that, diamond water is born.
Reza, MJ, Mike and Asa arrive in NYC for the holiday and they become lost looking for the Louis Vuitton store. At least we learn the Farsi word for clusterfuck. Later Reza has lunch with his father. It’s a cryfest. What is the Farsi word for that? Basically if you read through all the subtitles and tears, the storyline is about Reza making up with his Grandmother the next day at dinner. This is the grandmother he has called every name in the world in the previous season, but now, the season two storyline seems to be for Reza to do an about-face on every relationship he has ever had. Crew arrives with two huge floral arrangements and half a dozen huge bakery boxes. Reza goes into the kitchen and grandma greets him quite kindly. She only speaks Farsi so we are forced to believe that this year she is nice and last year she was awful. Reza wonders if they switched grandmas between episodes, um, I mean visits. The food looks amazing. MJ is behaving very well. Where is all of this hanging all over Reza’s grandmother stuff that he was bitching about on Jay Behar?
Sorry this recap is so dry. I am distracted by other things this weekend and frankly, these shows tonight just didn’t hold my attention. On the plus side, there was only one Lilly scene which was not important enough to recap. 🙂
Andy is posting on facebook, via the Bravo page, asking for questions for the reunion taping.
I don’t know if Reza can survive a reunion show. I’m serious. I don’t think he can handle being disliked by the masses.
Tamara, I agree! What’s fascinating about him is how he is completely comfortable with making his friend of many years look bad but MJ doesn’t really hit below the belt with him. She says he has a low self esteem but Reza says she lies about her age, she’s an alcoholic in so many words, and all of his digs on her weight. We’ve seen MJ when she wants to be slick like when she took a dig (well deserved in the moment)with Asa and her pop priestess career and then straight out cussing her out so her choosing to take the higher road here says something..well played MJ well played!
Seriously, you cannot think Andy is going to out Reza or [email protected] on the hot seat at the reunion. No way, he will go for MJ & GG, then I’ll be done watching.
OMG. That was a slap in the face with reality. You are right Suzi. Andy will go in on the female and support the gay guy. Sigh. Thanks. The reunion is ruined already. 🙁
Tamara when did it show Reza and Mj making up? He was so nice to her at his uncles. I am confused. Did I take one of my infamous cat naps for ten minutes and miss this part?? They had all found out she was forty thanks to Reza GOING THRU HER PURSE!! I would’ve throttled him. and then?? I read your last blog and didnt see anything about him being nicer??
Asa is a trip. I love how she changed her mind on which diamond had the energy she wanted according to the price of the diamond. Lily should know that no man wants to hear about an ex on a date. No wonder she doesn’t date much.
The only thing I got out of that is that I want to get my teeth whitened.
This whole Diamond water thing is such b.s. to me. And her partners gave her a 65k budget just to spend on a diamond to launch a bottled water product! Anyone with common business sense knows no one would make that kind of investment and let you waste that kind of money just on the diamond so I don’t think she bought it and I think it was just for filming purposes. Scam. So I saw the Joy Behar interview and I was watching last night and waiting to see the same thing you mentioned Tamara about MJ being all over his grandmother and didn’t see it. If come to the conclusion based on a lot of things he randomly throws out that he makes some things up. Like that his grandmother was this horrible mean person and she was quite sweet. I can see Reza at the reunion now..every time a question is asked on why he treated MJ the way he did he will deflect with some random outburst about MJ like he did on Joy Behar.
Asa is just plain nuts.
I just want to know why Asa wore a full length gold evening gown to a family dinner?
he’s not nicer. I was thinking about him today. Last season he did a really funny Reza Rant. Reza fancies himself a comedian. The first one was about his problems at the TSA it was really funny. The rest were all about this group (poor people, fat people, ethnic groups that were not Iranian( he says Persian and has NO IDEA of what is going on in Iran) etc. i tried to reel him in then. He didn’t listen He was mean in season one but was faking it for the cameras… there I said it.
Yeah and I have to say you are right in your assessment of him. I think everyone is seeing the samething and he’s the only one that would beg to differ out of his huge ego.
