Based on the title I am going to assume that Mike gets confronted about his drunken encounter with GG in Turkey. While I suppose that is necessary for the good of the group working through things, it would seem that there is a much larger situation going on with Mike that occurs frequently in LA during the time this was being filmed.
GG
Reza and GG go to a really cute interior design place. It has a lot of really funky stuff. I need to find someplace like this in Atlanta. I am having the hardest time finding a new couch I want. I am seriously considered having the one I have now fixed somehow. all it really needs is to put some new stuffing in the side my fat ass sits on every day and the leather to be cleaned. Reza has decided that GG is his little sister for this season. How convenient.
Mike
All of Mike’s real estate things in the past have been bullshit. I assume this is too. If it is not that is even more embarrassing.
MJ
These scenes of MJ cooking and being happy in her new relationship make me sad. We have already found out that Charlie was full of shit and fucking other people at the same time.
Reza is and Asa drop by to discuss Adam’s 30th birthday. Seriously? He’s only 30? I know in gay years that is ancient, but still. The story line this year is for MJ and Asa to fight over who is better friends with Reza. This is a ridiculous storyline. MJ certainly puts up with more of Reza’s shit and has been friends with him the longest. Asa doesn’t care. She likes everyone fine but she is so not a vie for the gay best friend’s attention type. She’s no very convincing about pretending to in her talking heads either. WHY CAN’T THE RELATIONSHIP DYNAMICS JUST BE WHAT THEY ARE WITH THESE PEOPLE? With the except of the new one, they all know each other. They are Iranian. They don’t need any help having passionate relationships amongst themselves.
GG
Golnesa goes off to speak to her father. She is unhappy with her partnership with her sister in their hair extensions business. GG wants to just walk away from the partnership. She also speaks to her dad about the Mike situation without mentioning names or the specifics of the problem. She is worried about causing lot of harm to Mike’s life, but she is weighing that with the fact she is very uncomfortable around him now. If this is all production manufactured I’d be very disappointed in all of these people.
ASA
Asa goes shopping for a Mercedes. Her Iranian salesman plies her with sweets from Iran and the full on tea set up. She of course has to align her chakras, burn some sage and swing some gold around before making as decision. As one does. While the tea is brewing she asks her mom advice about the secret. Her mom says if it doesn’t affect her to stay out of it and let the parties involved sort it out for themselves.
Adam’s 30th Birthday Party
Reza and Adam don’t seem to be getting along well at all. Reza is letting his mother decide everything about their wedding. I don’t know how much of this is bullshit. But I don’t see two people madly in love when I look at these two.
The party begins and Reza points out that Adam works with a lot of white geeks. But he is great with white people. That is why he points out who the white people are. I’m still unsure what his criteria for white is exactly.
The birthday party has a sit down dinner. This is already causing an issue. Mike is unhappy he is not at the main table. So Mike starts getting drunk.
Reza makes this odd announcement about a bracelet that his mother gave him when he was a kid. He claims he is giving that bracelet to Adam now. But that is total horseshit. He just gave him a 10K Hermes lockable bracelet. It is highly probably that this was a sort of G-rated public collaring ceremony. The bracelet resembles a collar and is locked into place. I’m just saying. Make of it what you will. If Hermes made cock cages… anyway. Sorry I get distracted by jewelry and gold bangles in particular.
Asifa and Shervin (Shervin appears to be a FOH awaiting a possible Mike replacement if necessary) tell GG that Mike is getting engaged next week. GG says that is a bad idea and then tells both of them that Mike “tried to fuck her.” I really want to know exactly what that means. That could be anything from “Oh, that guy, he’s been trying to fuck me for years.” to “We were both wasted and he tried to hold me down and force himself on me.” The second version is the one people tend to be going with. Ah, while I had the show paused, everyone starts asking her those types of questions. They are prodding for specifics to get a gauge on how bad this is, because really it could be anything from mildly inappropriate to attempted rape at this point. These questions seem to irritate GG who takes them to mean people don’t believe her. I think they just want a clear understanding of things. Shervin said a year is a long time. Meanwhile Mike is shit faced.
Asa and Reza tell GG she needs to be the one to tell Mike before anyone else. I do not think this night is the time to tell anyone.
Next Week: The Shit Hits The Fan. And camels and Cheetos appear to play prominent roles in how it all goes down. Or something. Did you SEE that bangle?
GG is an idiot. Seriously. I can’t even watch anymore.
Thoughts so far:
1. I liked how when GG balked at the $3000 price tag for the sofa, Reza waved his hand in the “don’t worry” sign and whispered “we’ll talk to them.”
LOL Reminds me of my mom and her “haggling” which always embarrassed the hell out of me growing up (“THIS IS AMERICA, MA! THEY DON’T HAGGLE AT SEARS!!!”) but I now appreciate in retrospect (in local stores, not chains like Sears, ma /eyeroll).
2. How many times did Mike describe that horrid decor in that listing as “classy” — Purple velvet on the walls? “Classy” Blood red ceilings in the bathroom? “Classy.” LOL
“Meanwhile Mike is shit faced.” This should be at the end of every paragraph recapping future SoS episodes.
Adam and Reza – I once met a Jewish gay man who had a Holocaust/Nazi fetish (I left immediately), and I get the same self loathing vibe from Adam. No way is he 30, by the way. “Meanwhile Mike is shit faced.”
GG is being a cunt satchel. Meanwhile Mike is shit faced.
As for Adam having self-loathing issues, I think anyone who would let Reza abuse them the way he does would have to be conflicted in some way. Reza is a Grade-A asshole.
Reza kinda corners the market on self-loathing. He is on TV doing traditional Iranian celebrations but he seems to really hate Iran and has pissed off the Iranian community greatly with his suggestions that the US should have invaded Iran because “they would have appreciated it.” Yet he seems to hate “white people” too. So I’m not sure who he supports.

More thoughts: Asa with the straight “Cher-hair,” high neck black top w/ choker and dark plum lipstick in her talking heads is GORGEOUS!!
Jessica is completely unrecognizable. What the Fuk did she do to that pretty face? She looks like a Playboy reject. All overblown lips, huge watermelon tits, overdone makeup, extensions, fake lashes everyday & spandex dresses. The “fame” has clearly gone to her head! Meanwhile this isn’t some gold digging girl this girl grew up well off! And her attitude is stank & uglier than this new outside look she’s got. Bossing her man around, carrying his nuts in her stupid little purse. Jessica and Mike Shouhed suck balls, they should be replaced.
It’s probably a look that Mike prefers and she’s unfortunately morphing herself into a cheap looking ho for him.
LookersMissesMelissa,
I agree. Jessica used to be so much prettier. Her face got so hard-looking, almost masculine.
I love Asa’s hair… and Shervin has talking heads? TT, once again… spot on… he may very well become the new Mike.
I feel sorry for Jessica. She is in a terrible position. None of what is happening is her fault.

She has come into a situation not of her making, she just love Mike. It seems they have decided to have high criticism of her, criticism they do behind her back never to her face. Gigi sudden revelation a year later only came out due to Mike still seeing the same girl. Common sense would say an engagement is near. I don’t believe the story at all.
,what is her fault though is blaming everybody else in the group for Mike’s actions, she can’t admit the truth to herself because then she would have to give the ring back so what she’s doing is in her own way making Mike pay for what he did by being a total bitch and alienating him away from all of his friends this is her way of saying face
Yeah, I agree with Lookers.
And Jessica can leave Mike, you know. She might be in love with him, but he’s a violent douche. And I feel bad for GG because this is what we put rape/sexual assault victims through, especially those who are more promiscuous and/or party more: doubt, press inappropriately or insensitively for details, all the shit that GG is gonna go through in the next few episodes.
The only thing I took away from this episode…. Agreed on the collaring.
Someone please educate me. What does ‘collaring’ mean?
It’s a BDSM thing.
“Meanwhile Mike is shit faced.”
It’s probably best you go on without that knowledge.

Yes, bdsm. Akin to a wedding ring, for some.
OMG LOL TT, I tweeted about cock cages last week because I was doing some work for a client & I found his receipts for a couple thousands dollars worth of BDSM gear & sex toys as well as a receipt for a $500 cock cage.

Um, I certainly have nothing more than a passing knowledge of what you are discussing. #SouthernBelle

Damn UF. What kind of clients are you working for now? You may be able to start a side business in blackmail lmao.
He’s a professional by day, leather queen by night.
I love how Asa’s mom was like “What the fuck is this?” to Asa at the Mercedes dealership.
I thought that was good, too. You know all of our older-generation folks have seen some hard times and have good sense and they must be horrified when they watch the younger generation spending like mad. Even though it’s a fake show and they’re encouraged to amp-up the silliness, sometimes it just goes a little too far.
And you know the parents know the value of money and have been experienced with practicing thrift. They must be thinking how stupid it is, with the money Asa makes from the show, to be blowing it on a car financing situation (assuming it’s not a free promotional).
Another kooky Asa moment with the weird energy thing, dangling a gold pendant. Wonder how the diamond water thing went and if all that dangling and prayer-matting did that venture much good?
I don’t know, I kind of picture this whole “tried to fuck me” situation as inappropriate but harmless. They both were drunk. They had been flirting all night with some roaming hands. Mike calls her into his room. They are on his bed. He makes a move. She pushes him off and leaves. Mike doesn’t remember the next day. I don’t think he was holding her down and trying to rip her cloths off. But who knows. Why the hell did she wait a year to say anything?
Him “randomly” pulling away from the group immediately after the trip is pretty suspect though. GG seems really upset…I just don’t know.
I don’t recall that scene, T.T. did you have a clip of this when it happened?
Mike was an asshole in Turkey at the end of the trip. I found his anti-Arab stuff outside the mosque sort of suspect. They tried to edit it as a religious thing. Jews v Arabs… but it just seemed very odd at the time. It seemed like something was really going on with Mike.
That said, traveling to different countries can have a major emotional impact that is sometimes unexplainable and unexpected. But most seemed to at least pretend to have a transformation for the better, while Mikes seemed much darker.

I always hate to cast doubt on claims of sexual assault BUT even taking *everything* GG is saying as true — she admits they were both jet lagged, had taken pills for the flight and drinking heavily — so her story already starts out on weak footing because, IMO, when both parties are that out of it, it is difficult for me to put all the blame on one and I certainly don’t want to accuse one of criminal conduct in those circumstances.
Add in the way she is very vague about details (for example: “He tried to fuck me” doesn’t make me think attempted rape — it makes me think a pass was made) and then gets defensive when asked to elaborate, I’m already 99% in the “GG is lying/exaggerating” camp.
She also stated they were flirting, implying she as well. My one thing is why wait a year right before cameras start rolling. All the issues before with people have gone on even after season is over, why wait on this now.
Um, you can flirt and get buzzed all you want, and you you can still turn down advances. It’s not as if leading someone on means now you gotta fuck him!
God!!!!! I will not be able to read comments on this anymore. It’s frankly a terrible plotline, but more so: maybe this is why women are beyond hesitant to report. Or why it might take one a year to tell her friends what happened.
I mean,she’s a total drunken slut, so how could Mike have done anything she didn’t want to fo, right?
Da fuck?
I wrote — pretty clearly, IMO — that if they were both drunk and on pills, I doubt MEMORY OF EVENTS, not that drunken sluts cannot say “no.”
Reading comprehension — how the fuck does it work?
Meanwhile, Mike Shouhed is shit-faced.

I kind of believe GG simply because last season Mike was different. He was totally different from the season before he whined about how his brothers are dentist & he quit law school ? Plus , he was trying to impress his mother and assure her he can do well in real estate with the signs on the bus which, by the way she wasn’t ! Then, he was drinking a lot and fighting with Reza . Mike’s shitty demeanor just stuck around! He doesn’t wanna marry her & she doesn’t wanna marry him! Just my opinion
Oh she wants to marry him. Not sure why, but she does.

Reza has NO fucking business talking about Charlie’s looks. I think Charlie is cute & I would fuck him in a heartbeat. Though I am slutty and would fuck almost any dark haired man of any ethnicity, especially Greek, Italian, Middle-Eastern, Turkish, Persian, I would NEVER touch REZA even with a HazMat suit. He disgusting, smelly looking, & ugly as a fuck on the inside as well the outside. Blame sleeping pills on my TMI.
I thought the same thing, like who the fuck is loud, obnoxious, compassionless, completely shallow Reza to offer up criticisms to anyone. I just don’t get why anyone at all would be able to stand him for more than five minutes. I think it would be funny as hell if Reza’s hair started falling out and he grew some man boobs.criticize anyone?
Poor guy. So not everyone is a movie star. Some of the cast members on the show aren’t exactly gorgeous minus makeup and cosmetic procedures. I thought the guy was just an average-looking man, no movie star, but certainly not totally unattractive. I’ve dated guys who were not the best looking but their confident personalities and good nature more than made up for it.
Last but not least since Reza seems to be judging the looks of potentials for Mercedes, ummmmmm, what does SHE have to offer in the beauty department, exactly?
I think MJ is beautiful & sexy.
See?
So do I.

The American standard of beauty is not the standard everywhere. Many people like a variety of types of beauty. But you go on and judge. You just sound hungry.

That skank GG desperately needs a storyline that doesn’t make her look like the knife-wielding maniac bitch on wheels she really is. She is all about DRAMA. So this season, she is playing the innocent victim. I get that “No means No,” but I have seen her in many past scenes/seasons where she would have been more than happy to fuck Mike anytime, anywhere. She was uber hot for him and he was the one who didn’t want to.
If it did happen, I am sure it was a one-time drunken half-ass attempt between life-long friends who probably have had sex many times in the past. This often happens with people who are so drunk they don’t know what they are doing and couldn’t rape anyone if they wanted to.
It’s not like he was sober or a stranger, date-raped her, kidnapped her, restrained her and forced himself on her. He probably very drunkenly half attempted it and she’s taking it all the way to the bank. It doesn’t make it right, but the uproar she’s causing over it which she knows will create massive turmoil in his life is very suspicious. What better way to have all the attention focused on her this season? I wouldn’t believe anything she said, lie detector or not.
I believe something happened, but GG needs to be very careful. Any accusation or implication of rape follows a person around for the rest of his life. Even if it wasn’t true. GG has had this weird obsession with Mike from the very first season. If Mike ever hinted that he wanted GG, she’s jump all over his dool in a heartbeat! GG is just like Brandi Glanville. They both have a delusional and distorted view of what really happened.
Is Mike a cheater? I really don’t know, but with his ‘celebrity’ status and camera phones and social media these days, I would think we would have heard about it by now. I hate the whole blame the victim idea, but I just don’t believe GG.
I think CG is afraid of losing her relationship with Mike and is doing this to try and get Mike’s girlfriend to decide not to marry him. (If this isn’t all totally scripted). I think this has to do with the impending wedding.
Thank U, Suzanne. Mike is head over heels in love with Jessical, allegedly. Men are dogs, but why would he want to mess that up just for a drunken one nighter with that tight ass nut job GG? If he wanted to cheat, I am sure he could do better than someone in his inner, practically family, circle that he knows would have it on the News at 5. I call bullshit on the whole storyline. Mike is clearly the target this season. He’s a drunken cheater/rapist. Therefore, he’s got to be drunk in every scene. Last season, he seemed like the only responsible one. This season, it’s “Ain’t it awful about MIke?”
I believe the whole cast, including Jessica, knows it’s bullshit and are all just playing their assigned roles. Mike and Jessica will get married as planned. This show is just a paycheck for all them and they have to have some kind of ongoing bogus drama every season. That’s why they all make up and are friends next time or when you see them on WWHL or talk shows. Frankly, the formula is boring beyond belief. You really can’t believe anything they portray.
You could not be more wrong. For the most part.

And I am so sure that lie detector is totally legit. Next season, Reza or Adam or Asa will be the target. And around and around it goes. . . . I am sure you are right. GG is a total victim. Her innocent virtue was challenged by Mike’s drunk and obnoxious fuctipades. She’s not the only one. He’s a serial cheater. Jessica is a fool. Not that I give a shit about him or her. All the paychecks stand behind GG. And . . .SCENE! Whew, glad we got that cleared up. Now let’s all meet on Andy’s show and laugh and laugh and play a stupid drinking game. And life goes on.
I hear what you are saying. I have a bit more information than you do.
That said, it doesn’t mean that your scenario is wrong. I don’t know everything. I just know a few other things. Which to be honest, makes me more unsure of the GG situation one way or the other, but fully sold on the idea that Mike has cheated. A lot.
Lmao Adam has to be at least 40!! Lying ass!
The fact that she dated Jax makes me think she picked up a few pointers from him on how to exaggerate a story to get more camera time.
There were also pics last year of her pushing up on Luis from MDLNY.
I cannot fthom anyone in their right mind dating or fucking Jax. He is an ugly troll who really needs to gget over himself !
BTW – today I actually saw GG shopping, did a major double take because at first I thought is was someone I knew. She is very thin right now…..
Was I the only one who was totally unimpressed with Adam’s “Rezafied” party? It was in a cramped space above a restaurant with ugly faux-finished walls. And the trellises with the fake flowers! It was a scene out of a suburban Texas antique mall tea room. Not to mention the white linens with all the folds still visible and the blue party city gift bags. No way in hell Reza would allow a party for himself be thrown in such a space. Proof to me he does not love Adam as much as he is trying to make us believe.
I KNOW… Those orange venetian plastered walls drove me INSANE. #Tacky
I was put off by the whole Iranian Birthday party. Adam certainly embraces Reza’s culture, why can’t Reza embrace Adam’s for his birthday party?

I don’t doubt that Mike got on top of clothed GG, she describes it in such a way as it sounds like drunken fooling around by both. She wants to stop Mike’s proposal to Jessica in the worst way.
Reza is the bitch in saying about his Mother wanting the wedding location to be convenient for family “as long as the bitch is paying for it.” What a disgrace for a human being. His inflated ego is as ugly as his apartment decor that he thinks is so great. Just because he is gay, does he think that means he has good taste in design?
Run Adam, Run!!!!! Please surprise us by becoming a runaway groom.You do not need to punish yourself by marrying Reza. You are young and need to get into yourself, not submitting to that old self centered vitriolic queen. Run Adam-Run!!
Wow, Jessica really done fucked up her face with all the injectables and botox. I wonder what really did go between GG & Mike… Season 1, it seemed like she had a thing for him, now suddenly she’s all offended that he tried to fuck her? She didn’t seem too bothered when she was sitting at the banquet with Mike, and he was pawing all over her. It’ll be interesting to get the whole story on that, if we ever do. When was it discovered that Charlie cheated on MJ? I like MJ.. She didn’t deserve what Reza did to her at that reunion. ALL OF THEM take pills.. Why put MJ on blast for it? MJ seems so happy when she’s domesticated and playing Susie Homemaker.
Jessica’s face does look different somehow, but looks to me like less make up, not more. Her face looked bloated and pale without eyes being defined. She has super wide spaced eyes and looked prettier all made up. Now I feel like her eyes are located on the sides of her head. She doesnt look as happy or like shes trying as much with Mike. She seems more determined than in love now. But thats just my uninformed take on it.
Oh did it go wrong with Charlie and M.J.? I thought they were sweet together. Thats too bad. Sometimes guys can look all sweet and innocent with the balding and the highness, but in actuality are more douche bag and arrogent than the handsome tall ones with hair. I trust no one.
Sorry I meant chubbiness and balding.
