We start tonight’s episode of Shahs of Sunset with the happy couple, Mike and Jessica going to a Brazilian restaurant with Shervin. There, Jessica happily shows off her engagement ring. It seems she has managed to stop crying long enough to sit at a table and watch other people eat.
Shervin and Mike are talking about the blowup with GG. Mike says he is waiting for things to blow over. He has been friends with the others for to long not to try to mend it. Shervin says your decision is your decision. Whatever that means But, Jessica pipes up with, “mend it? No.” It seems in true Mike fashion they just ignore Jessica’s comment.
This meal seems like Mike and Shervin are on a date and Jessica is the annoying little sister who for some reason showed up uninvited. Shervin and Mike have a stupid eating contest.
Asa and Reza
Asa and Reza hang out by Asa’s pool. Asa has a super cool, very nice house in Venice. In case you missed it I interviewed Asa back in 2012. I am still in love with that bathtub with the silver claw feet! You might Also enjoy this story about Reza back before he lost himself in all the fame surrounding Shahs of Sunset. Reza is having second thoughts about marrying Adam. He says that Adam is not as sexual as he would like. Reza says his Dad is a sex addict and he always hears his father’s voice saying don’t settle down. Asa says that going through with the marriage and getting divorced in a year, or cheating on Adam would be worse than backing out all together.
World of Leggings
So Mercedeh (see her Pre-Shahs interview here) is planning a game of group dodgeball for the clan. If that was not already a REALLY bad idea, apparently she has decided that dodgeball requires special leggings for everyone involved. Because, Mercedeh. So she and Shervin (who is getting a lot of air time this season) go off to meet Asa and Asifa to select the leggings. The do this at a leggings store. What the fuck? There are leggings stores? We are not on Rodeo anymore, y’all. No mam. We are at World of Leggings. I kid you not. Sadly, they do not have “meggings” which is apparently leggings for gay men, but the associate point out that if men wear them backwards, they will have more room for their junk. Again, this is really happening on my television.
The script this season insists that Asa and Mercedeh are at odds so we begin that story arc at the cash register where MJ seems to be feeling a bit on the outside of this foursome so she goes after Asa. Asa had expressed some issues with the loud leggings that MJ selected for everyone, male and female to wear, but she had relented and taken them all to the counter. MJ wasn’t done being upset yet and when Asifa decided to stick her stupid nose in the middle and call MJ an instigator, MJ was like “Peace Out” and left the store.
MJ comes back and continues her tiff with Asa. Asa says that MJ is always being shady. MJ wants examples. Asa says trying to have both bachelor parties on the same night in different cities so that she could not go to Reza’s party is a bitch move. MJ deflects. Asa says that MJ can throw shade all day, but she can’t take any. I love how the Shahs are saying “throwing shade” now. I blame the RHOA. Or me. It’s probably both. Anyway, MJ doesn’t want the fugly leggings anymore
Asa and Her Parents
Asa’s parents continue to live with her as she has their home renovated. Asa come down for breakfast in one of her kaftans to find her mother cooking breakfast. Apparently her mother’s cat has peed on one of her rugs. There is enough food for 20 people. Asa’s family is adorable. Asa has on no makeup but her eyebrow are black as night. Do you think she penciled them in really quick on the way down for breakfast?
GG
Time to check in on GG. MJ drops in for a visit. GG looks very thin. GG needs to find a man, according to MJ. MJ makes her sign up on Tindr. MJ grabs the phone and starts selecting idiots for GG. Hilarity ensues.
Reza and Adam
Reza sits Adam down to discuss a prenup. Reza wants one. Adam agrees. Reza throws out there that they don’t even have to get legally married, they can just say they are married if they want to. Oh, interesting. Adam asks Reza if he is sure about their relationship. Reza says they need to do something to spice up their sex life. He feels like they are two roommates. Adam says Reza is gone all the time. Really? Where does he go? Then Reza goes to his trademark racism and explains to Adam that white people are not as passionate as ethnic people. Reza says that Adam’s only pickup line is “I’m going to get a shower, followed by a wink.” Adam says Reza’s is “Suck it.” Reza says his is way hotter. I say I don’t need these visuals.
Mike
Asa and Mike meet for pizza. Asa is hurt that she found out about Mike’s engagement through Instagram. Mike is hurt that no one stood up for him. In Asa’s talking head she says the purpose of the lunch is to see if Mike will own up to anything related to GG’s ambiguous allegations to try to get a sense of the truth. Asa apologizes for the way things went down. Mike says it’s all a goddamn lie. Asa says that she thinks the truth lies somewhere in the middle. Mike says it is all a lie. Asa asks GG if they were even in the same room alone in Turkey. He says he doesn’t remember. Asa says she is getting an evasive sort of vibe from Mike. He won’t give her straight answers.
MJ and GG
MJ and GG go to a bar to try to find a man for GG it went exactly as you might think.

DODGEBALL!
Everyone does end up in the hideous leggings in the end. Though Reza wears his as a mask and as sleeves. MJ is stunned by the seriousness of the game when they watch another group play. Someone could get hurt. They are playing with strangers who know how to play. The team names are much and crunch. Asa and MJ are captains. Asa is really good at this game. She also clocked a random check in the face. Somehow MJ’s team wins anyway.
After the game, MJ apologizes to Asa, who graciously accepts. But Asa remains suspicious of MJ’s motives. This is an awfully dramatic apology for a tiff over leggings. Almost immediately they are back to square one.
Mike and Shervin look so much alike they could get drunk (meanwhiled) / have sex and rationalize it as not being gay because it would be like masturbating.
umm…yes…give me a minute while I consider that mental image.
Bwahahahaha!
Da fuq?? That was funny and a bit of a mind fuck!
I don’t know why Asa was so hurt she found out about mike’s engagement on Instagram. If I was mike I wouldn’t tell that group anything. If he did it or not, that doesn’t bother me as much as GG waiting a year later to tattle.
Did you see that game of dodgeball? I would have been terrified lol. MJ said they needed to play at least once a month basically to get their aggressions out. Looked like to me they were trying to kill one another. Passive, sweet Asa seemed like she was going in for the kill. Aggressive/Competitive much???
Asa is not only beautiful but sensitive an intelligent. What on earth is she doing with this band of idiots?
As far as Mike and his fiancee, I have said many times that I feel sorry for young women today wanting to do the traditional thing and marry, settle down, and start a family. I just don’t see many real men anymore. These immature sex fanatics called “guys” these days seem to want to be with other men more so than women. All they use women for is sex and domestic chores. So much for the women’s movement and sexual revolution as long as women keep putting up with this. I’d rather stay single than choose one of these “bros before hoes” wimps.
You said it, sister.
Yes I see that alot too. The culture of marriage is really morphing into a distant memory and being replaced with a bunch of guys hanging out. It seems men dont need us anymore, or at least for only short periods of time. Its like marriage is a distant goal maybe before 50 with a really hot super model that never gets mad or sick or grows older or makes any demands of him. Oh what you mean no one like that exists? Well I guess Im not getting married then. Hey I wonder what Phil is doing tonight? Thank God Im allready married. These guys make my husband look positively saintly.
Can we talk about Reza’s talking hair spit curl? Is this the “Persian” version of Nene’s ramen noodle wig?
And Reza’s marriage- what exactly is Adam getting out of this? Reza gets to whore around (cultural imperative) and everything is in is name, and Adam gets “maybe we don’t even need to be legally married” and to pay his own legal fees.
Reza bugs me. Why?! Just, why? Poor Adam. Maybe he’s going with Reza for the same reason that Jessica is with Mike? Hmm?
Reza has no business getting married! Adam needs to stop being his doormat.
I figured out what bugs me about jessica’s face. Her eyes aren’t team players. They are SUPER far apart. Her winged eyeliner, mink lashes, and plastic surgery/contouring makes them almost on the sides of her head. She has to turn her head because she only has peripheral vision.
Speaking of poor vision, how is Mike gonna call Shervin foot feet tall?
Okay, Shay, you and me are on the same page! I’m sitting here going, “What did Jessica do to her face and why does it look so wrong???”
I think you’re right, Shay. Open to others’ input as well!
(B-Dubs loves ya, Shay!!!)
I agree, they are too far apart! She not using the right makeup techniques. Plus, having a sour puss facial expression most of the time doesn’t help.
Thats the botox keeping her face so tight!
I noticed that and they seem more so lately for some reason. She looks better with darker makeup like before and to smile. Her face looks bloated and pissed and like her eyes are sliding off the sides of her face. Usually wide spaced eyes are considered a thing of beauty but hers are too wide spaced.
Even though I wasn’t wild about her make-up last night, it did improve her eyes. They didn’t look so far apart…lately her eyes have looked like she is hunting prey!
Seems like the same storylines are rehashed every season. Reza has commitment issues, MJ is not happy sharing Reza, first with Lily G (miss that girl!) and now Asa. GG hates her sister, and is not happy unless all the drama is about her. Asa is happiest as the moral compass pointing out how everyone is wrong. Asifa/Bobby are non-factors, Jessica is annoying. Why is Shervin getting so much air time?
Shervin is being npositioned to replace Mike, who is either going to be shamed off the show or forced in to rehab.
Xanadude: Mike can’t lose his Shah’s paycheck, though! We know he isn’t making it as a real estate agent.. not even with that super classy velvet house.
Ha haaaaaaa! “Super classy velvet house.” I gotta get me one of those. Lily G was actually down-to-earth compared to the rest of the cast. Asa is currently the least spastic, but she can bring the pain too. Sigh.
Speaking of, I’m looking for a party pad in the LA area. Would especially like it if it complimented my velvet Elvis paintings. Bonus if I can wake up and find my boyfriend stuck to the wall. If anyone knows of a property that I might be interested in, let me know!
😉
Ah! Makes sense. Just hope they don’t get a spin-off.
I can see Reza chasing after guys in gay bars forever ,and then whining about how lonely he is and nobody loves him. Basically what straight guys do. I think Adam may be too good for him.
I do not believe Reza gets married. GG’s dating troubles are more believable, which I don’t believe for a second.
Joe,
Maybe that is why the ceremony was done in Thailand? Perhaps it is not legally binding in the States?
@Joe – Thailand is allegedly “the sex capital of the world”, so that’s probably why Reza wanted to get married there.
Thailand is a lovely place. Its the European ex-pats, tourists, and foreign military visiting that drives the demand for the sex trade. (Kind of like the Red Light district in Amsterdam- which is a *miniscule* part of what Amsterdam is and has to offer.) Sadly, the average age for a person entering prostitution in thailand is between 5-8 years old. Its sex slavery and child abuse and shameful. The Thai people and King do not condone it – but like Las Vegas, the demand makes it difficult to stop. If you’re in Thailand, please don’t promote the trade by going to sex shows or spending money “people watching” at the bars/clubs in Pattaya. Go to a ladyboy show! Visit an orphanage. Tip workers, cabs, waiters generously. Be something/someone different than the foreigners they’re used to and you will see a country and people different than what you’d expect.
Reza doesn’t want to marry adam. He tried to scare him off with the pre-nup. Then when adam asked if he was sure he wanted to be with him, Reza hesitates, then says adam need to spice up their sex life. Usually if asked a question like that, you would say, “Yes, of course I want to spend the rest of my life with you… I do, however, want US to put more of an effort into romance.” They don’t seem like they even like eachother as pals. They always look like they are on the verge of a fight or breaking up.
Also, when Asa asks Mike, “Did it happen?” He pauses and then replies, “Absolutely not.”
My friend who is a DA said guilty people/liars often repeat the question to but themselves more time or reply with “Absolutely not” instead of “no.”
I know lots of you guys and TT are court watchers, have you found this or other behaviors or body language of Mike to indicate guilt?
shay, I just think it’s kind of funny when they show Mike playing with GG’s thong earlier in the evening in the bar/restaurant and then he claims she’s nothing more to him than his little sister. Who plays with their little sister’s thong like that? When Asa asks him about it he hesitates with his answers then says it’s all a lie. Yet when she asks if GG was in his room he can’t remember. So how does he know if nothing happened if he can’t even remember if she was in his room? Always heard that a drunk man’s words and actions were a sober man’s thoughts. Mike and GG both were drinking when he was playing with her thong so I would have to assume the drinking continued and they all left the bar at some point and went to their rooms upstairs. So it makes you question.
Mike is a horny drunk. GG is an angry drunk. Bad combo! He shouldve tried Mercedeh. That would’ve been successful, as they both worship his dool:)
I get GG. Don’t provoke the holder of your secrets. I’ve kept secrets for years… One I still hold even though I’m no longer friends with the offender. I see her every so often as she became friends with my sister to spite me, and attends functions at my parents’ place. One day when she glares at me too long or eats the food i paid for and spent hours cooking, with her husband and children, without even acknowledging my existence… one day I’m going to make small talk like, “Did you ever get DNA tests on your kids? You know, since you were still sleeping with your ex the first 5 years you were married, and both times you got pregnant you werent sure if they were his?” Don’t test.
Damn girl!!
People who try to gaslight the holder of their secrets are total idiots. Ive had that happen to me before and it back fired on him big time. I couldnt believe it was happening at the time, and it took alot of mean doings and betrayls to get me to crack and tell on him. But yes evenually I did crack and I told his girlfriend what he did to me. He cried his eyes out but he brought it on.
My son always replies, “Wassat?” when I ask him if he’s been gambling again, to give him more time to think about what he’s going to say.
Jessica is damaged.. has serious issues.. she cried exasperated tears when mike proposed. Desperate. Bizzare.
lisa… I agree. That was not a normal way to react. Especially since Mike is not exactly the catch of the century.
Well I guess it was all those hoops shes been jumping and the difficulty in finding men willng to marry now. She probably thought ohthank you I dont have to start this process again and convert to another religion. Im happy for her.
I think Adam would insist on a pre-nup. The condo they live in is owned by Adam, as a single man, and mortgaged in Adam’s name only.
Reza had a foreclosure only a few years ago, so I’m sure his credit is less then stellar.
Reza is the WORST kind of gay man there is. He is a one dimensional, self-loathing, racist, & disrespectful fiance. It’s a shame to even give him the fiance label considering he has no real desire to marry or attempt a REAL marriage.
All Reza wants is a verbal versatile power bottom that will sex his gross Iranian dick in the bedroom, car, plane, elevators, & outside. Besides it being a storyline for TV, why is he even pretending to be in love & planning a wedding? Why the hell is Adam doing it? Doesn’t Adam have any friends to warn him of the large flashing Iranian red light he calls boyfriend? If Adam wants to be someone’s passive fuckboy, he certainly can do better than with a piece of elitist shit like Reza.
I agree 100%.
Considering gay marriage is still illegal down under, it really ticks me off to see guys like Rezza take it for granted. Fuck him.
Thank you and you said that in the nicest way possible!! Vomit!
Yes! I felt sorry for Adam last night. He looked so sad and disappointed. Adam comes off as a very sweet guy. Reza seems to have an awful lot of negative things to say about whites, so I really don’t understand why he is with Adam – or why Adam puts up with all of his egotistical antics. It’s all very odd.
Adam is sweet and sensitive and I think Reza likes that about him; but its also the traits that Reza tends to want to take advantage of and not respect him for. People who have commitment problems are often driven to sabatage and demean their partners. They lack the ability to deal with the boredom and tedium of a long term relationship entails. If Reza doesnt come through for Adam, Adam needs to walk away.
100% of Tamara’s Gay Posters Agree: Reza is hideous as a gay man, as a future husband, as a self appointed representative for his “Persian” community, and as a huge man being.
Human being, although the autocorrect as “huge man being” is pretty fuckin funny
Some of will not ever forgive Reza’s outburst toward the young gay Iranian man. It displayed his true character in such a way that no amount of fake happy couple scenes with Adam will erase.
The Iranians hate him for saying something along the lines of we should have invaded Iraq as opposed to Iran because Iraq would have appreciated it.
It was such a horrific thing to say I can’t be sure I’m recalling it correctly.

I love, love, LOVE Brasilian BBQ…but that opening scene at the restaurant… that was definitely Team Too-Much-Gluttony…still trying to catch up and figure out who these new people are on the cast, but having a hard time just caring about anything or anyone in genera this season (other than the food…I ALWAYS perk up when they have food scenes on this show).
Who thinks Shervin is reaching really hard to make the opening credits???
I do!
I would rather see Shervin and Nima than Mike and Reza. Can’t get rid of Reza, so see ya later Mike and hello Shervin.
Adam’s pickup line, “I’m going to get a shower, followed by a wink,” reminded me of something you say when your partner is stinky.
I like Shervin so far. I hope he replaces Mike.
Does anyone know what Adam does for a living. He seems very reliant on Reza.
Adam used to be a model
When you’re only 30 years old can you really be defined by a past job/career? You still have like 30 years to earn a living/make a difference. The fuck?
He was a former runway model for Hugo and Ralph Lauren. And is Post Production Assistant with Ryan Murphy on Glee and American Horror Story and editor at Fox from what I have seen online.
How about Reza’s new endeavor as a”developer”? Sorry, but he’s no Jeff Lewis. And the numbers he was throwing around made no sense. Investing $500,000 to net $2,000 more a month would take more than ten years to pay back the investment.
Why isn’t that a sound investment? $3500/month on a $500,000 mortgage is a great ROI.
Yes, MJ was in the wrong but Asa is NASTY. What’s disturbing about Asa is that she puts on this show of being “enlightened”, “New Age”, “Hindu-chakra-spiritual”, “in touch with nature” but she called MJ an “asshole”. She is SO quick to put people down and be competitive – for someone so enlightened, she doesn’t seem like it. The difference between Asa and everyone else is that she keeps PREACHING and BRAGGING that she is perfect and enlightened when in fact the opposite is true. The others NEVER brag about being spiritual or in touch with the universe so they are more righteous in their behavior than Asa is. Adam should dump Reza…enough with the “white people” comments. It’s disturbing! I’m mixed with white and I must say, it’s offensive the way Reza KEEPS SAYING IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN. Asifa tends to open her mouth when she is NOT part of the conversation and gets herself in trouble. It’s okay for women to speak up but not in the way Asifa does it. Shervin…he’s the only one I like so far. GG it seems was right all along and got a bad rap from day one. Yes, her anger goes far when someone wrongs her but I’d rather that than coocoo Asa who thinks she’s so brilliant and enlightened but thin-skinned like everyone else underneath it all. Jessica is showing how vile she is – she says she doesn’t give a crap about Mike’s friends and then makes a veiled comment about Shervin and Mike showing their privates at the dinner table. Oh really? Mike I thought you said your girlfriend would never talk about mens’ private parts…looks like she just did.
I am going there, those women have some serious junk in their trunks. It’s actually refreshing that no one gives them crap about it and they don’t seem to mind themselves. The tights were not a flattering look on those bottoms!
What’s the name of the Brazilian steakhouse? They were at?
