I am trying to tear myself away from the live coverage of the Baltimore riots to watch and recap this. We can discuss the Baltimore riots here. I really need to get at least the Shahs of Sunset recap up, but I am going to wait on Southern Charm and WWHL when I am not so preoccupied. This may take a bit longer than usual as I may have to peek at the news. Please post your news comments in the Daily Tea thread for today rather than here.
Reza
Reza and Adam are talking about Reza’s wedding diet. Reza has lost 10 pounds in two weeks. Reza and Adam agree on getting married in Thailand. Because who doesn’t want a paid for wedding by Bravo in Thailand. Reza is not sure he wants to invite Mike and Jessica to the wedding. Reza does not like Jessica. Mike is having a reconciliation dinner, which may or may not include GG. Because dinners are always a calm happy event on Bravo shows. 
MJ
MJ is doing a sexy photo shoot for Charlie. Reza says that MJ looks like the “Persian” Anna Nicole. And he’s right. I need to know where MJ gets her lingerie. My lingerie shopping these days is basically finding a cheap bag of Hanes Her Way granny panties at Big Lots! .
MJ is getting ready to give Charlie a HUGE framed picture of her half-naked self. MJ is so unintentionally funny. I really hate seeing Charlie on TV after finding out he was just using our MJ. This scene feels so scripted. MJ is so much better than this guy. Charlie is so leading MJ on. Everytime she tells that scumbucket she loves him is response is something like, “likewise.” UGH this guy is such an asshat.
GG
GG is looking for a Bollywood outfit with Asifa for Asifa’s Bollywood birthday party. They talk about the lie detector test. Asifa tells GG that her memory should not be trusted when she is drunk. GG is insulted by that. Um, hello?
GG is going to take another polygraph test. This time it is with “John” who has been on pretty much every show on TV. And you know he is really good because he is wearing a polo embroidered with the words “John, Polygraph expert.” GG “easily passed” the polygraph.
Asa
We all keep begging Asa for a cookbook so it is no surprise we are back in her kitchen. When I win a gajillion dollars in the lottery I am going to buy Asa to be my personal chef, life coach and BFF. I will pay her I gold bangles. Two gold bangles for me, one for Asa…three gold bangles for me, one for Asa.
Asa is doing a public live art piece about Muslim women and the veil. Her position is that it is choice for women to wear a veil. At the actual performance, there are women watching who are actually veiled. I wonder how they will feel about this? Will they find it disrespectful (which is not Asa’s intent) or liberating. Also, because I am not familiar with Beverly Hills, I question the validity of there being so many women in Muslim traditional attire on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Mike
First of all this scene with Mike and Shervin was presented as “Shervin’s house” he is very clearly Mike’s replacement for next season at this point. If Jessica was marrying Mike for the fame of being on the show, there may be an issue. Secondly, there is no way Mike can afford that car unless Jessica’s family money paid for it.
Mike really wants to reconcile with the gang. He is taking some responsibility for his part. He wants to apologize to them at dinner.
At the dinner Mike is given firm marching orders by Jessica not to try to silence her. She is going to tell them all exactly how she feels. Mike reluctantly agrees because his goal is reconciliation. Mike tells Jessica that he would like to forgive and forget at some point. Jessica says, “And that is what is going to stop.” Who knew Mike was such a castrated male? Oh wait, we all did.
Asa arrives and is very polite. I love that Asa says she is hungry. 90% of reality people do not eat on camera. The Shahs do! MJ arrives and is also nice to Jessica at first. Then MJ says she is a bit hurt that they didn’t share their engagement with them. Asa asks what Jessica’s issue is with them. Mike and Adam walk in while Jessica is reaming out Asa. Mike and Jessica are pissed that everyone believes GG. MJ says that GG has passed a lie detector. Things just don’t go well at dinner. Mike is barely allowed to speak.
Next week: GG has a first date with a hot guy at a bowling alley. Asifa has a birthday party. MJ’s plans for Reza’s bachelor party disturb Adam (Is anyone else wondering about the edit of the bachelor parties that are supposedly happening before the wedding date is even set?)
I don’t know why everyone cares if mike did it. Why are they even mad about it? I think it’s more shady of gg to wait a year to discuss it
I don’t get waiting all this time to discuss it now either. What triggered it? Jessica is definitely not handling it well. She’s projecting her anger on all the wrong people. Why not try and have an honest conversation with the 2 parties involved and if you then choose to stay with mike then that is your informed decision but to go around taking your anger out on innocent parties is just ridiculous.
I def agree…Jessica acted like a lunatic…and mike wanting it to just go away screams guilt…but it’s no one else’s prob. Jessica should be mad at mike and gg. And honestly, I think she is taking her anger out on others to avoid the real issue
I think the wait to talk about the ‘incident’ is due to GG needing/wanting to wait until it could be her storyline for the season.
Am I the only one who remembers GG, in the 1st or 2nd episode of this season, saying she was so drunk she doesn’t really remember everything that happened that night with Mike? As far as I know she only mentioned it once on camera and since that time she seems to have forgotten that pesky but, important, detail in her story re-tells. It was quite telling when MJ agreed in last nite’s episode that GG’s been known to embellish on the truth, which is what I think happened with her story about the incident with Mike. Now it’s gone too far and I think she’s too embarrassed to set the whole record straight.
She needed a story line!
She waited until the cameras were on. That’s all.
Yep.
GG is just as immature as Jessica, they are both handling this situation horribly. Just like Shervin said, what’s her motivation…to prove that Mike is not ready to get married, to make Jessica suffer. Why did she involve everyone in this mess….she’s messy. Jessica thinks that Mike will mature, drink less and not act like a maniac if he’s away from the group. She does not like that behavior and believes that it’s this group of friends who brings it out in Mike…she mistaken…that’s who Mike is and I doubt he will change. What makes women think that it’s ok the chastise and scold your man like that, especially on national TV. It’s true that some men change and mature once they get married and grow older and some resent that their wife nagging them to change. Poor Mike…Poor Jessica.
Jessica. Is. An. Idiot.
Why just single out Jessica they are all idiots.
Because Jessica is SO Damn hard to Look At…that Face. ..Those Wide Eyes….that Big Mouth … that’s why!! When you agree to be on Television, You will be judged….She looks like an idiot & that Last episode proves she IS. Not poor Mike & poor Jessica….Poor Viewers that must Watch this couples Shit Show.
No Mike is an idiot.

Correct! Check plus,
1000% agree. She is a shrew. If he goes ahead with this marriage, he is just stupid!
I don’t know who’s stupider, Mike or Jessica? They deserve each other; what total morons!
Yes! Perfect for each other. Jessica is just mad because there is truth in Mike’s infidelities and she wants to sweep it under the rug.
Mike’s infidelities don’t matter 1 bit. Jessica’s getting married, I tell you MARRIED! And did you see that ring?! Oh, & she’s getting married!
She’s an idiot & so is Mike. They deserve each other.
Wait, if she’s getting married, does that mean she might hysterically scream, “I’m going to be a wife! I’m going to beeeee a WIIIIIFFFFE!
Jessica is more stupid because she believes her skank boyfriend. As it turns out his long time friends don’t believe Mike either. Not only that Jessica has turned herself into a totally different person to catch the skank boyfriend. No Bueno.
TT, you will see women wearing the hajib in Beverly Hills, and just about any other suburb of Los Angeles. I have never seen a veiled woman, though, anywhere around L.A. I just asked my daughter who is in school and living in downtown L.A. She has never seen a veiled woman, either. I can’t say that it never happens, but I think it would be pretty unusual.
They’re out there, but very, very rare. It’s more common to see muslim women who practice that kind of covering wearing a hijab or chador. I’m not Iranian, but according to my Iranian friends the whole thing is bullshit. Since the Shahs happen to be Iranian, and I’ve had some extensive conversations with my friends about it, according to them, in Persian culture, women were the pants in a relationship, not men. A woman is the boss of a Persian family, never mind the draconian religious laws in Iran. Maybe that explains Mike buttoning his lip when Jessica is speaking? Apparently that’s a thing over there.
According to my mother (& late grandmother) whether they know it or not, all women wear the pants / are the bosses in the relationship. It’s a matter of finesse – in always letting the man think he is! I was visiting my mom last week while my niece was there (having boyfriend problems) where she gave her the lecture I’ve heard countless times → “You have all the power / you’re the boss but if you want your relationship to last, under NO circumstance can you EVER let him know it”. My parents have had nearly 70yrs of marital bliss & only over the past couple years (since Dad’s health has begun to fail) has he come to the realization — unbeknownst to him, she’s always been the boss! ☺
Yeah, Asa’s issue was t bullshit. She was addressing laws that apply to women in their native countries, so no matter who has the pants on at home, women aren’t making the laws re: veils. I like that she is a SMART girl.
Asa and Shep on WWHL?! Clubhouse explodes due to too much brainpower.
No, I didn’t say Asa’s issue was bullshit. I said that according to my friends, who expressed their opinion to me on the matter, wearing that stuff in a free country is bullshit. That’s a second hand opinion, not my own. I have no right to an opinion on that because I’m not a part of that culture.
Um people wear “that shit” as you so eloquently call it for religious reasons. Whether or not the country where they wear it requires it or not. It’s a religious choice in free countries.

When did I refer to the garment or anything else as “that shit”? Religion is great. Unless women get publicly stoned to death for violating the same “religious” laws that require them to cover their heads, faces, bodies, etc. And no, it’s not necessarily a religious issue. Iran was a muslim country before the Shah took over, and back then women could wear modern clothes and didn’t have to cover up.
Being veiled is uncommon in the US and the world. When I say veiled, I’m referring to a Burqa or wearing a Niqab. These garmments cover the face Occasionally maybe I see a khimar. Most common is the scarve. I wear an al-amira or a shayla when I enter the Mosque. I also wear an abaya but an abaya is not required but modest dress is. Of course I’m an Amercian Christian so for me the abaya is easier. Most of the women choose not to wear a Hijab outside of the Mosque. Btw, in some middle eastern countries the government tries to discourage the wearing of the Hijab.
I may have the terminology all wrong. I thought a hajib was the scarf that covers the head and neck, but isn’t a veil. Do I have that incorrect?
Hijab really means to cover. The most common way to cover your head is with a scarf that covers the head, neck, and chest. It leaves the face open. This is what most people are use to and everyone just calls it a Hijab. A khimar covers the head to the hips or floor, closed in front, but leaves the face open. Chaddor is full body, face open, open front, held closed by the person wearing it. A niqab is a face face veil and is worn with a khimar or chaddor. Burqa is full cover head to toe with either mesh or slit for the eye area. When the face is covered it’s called veiled. It’s confusing. An abaya is a long sleeve to the floor cloak, no head cover. You wear a scarf or Hijab with it. Chaddor and Burqa is most common in Iran.
Thanks Angel(?). It’s become fairly common to see women with a scarf around Los Angeles, so much so that I doubt many people really pay attention. If a group showed up on Hollywood Boulevard dressed the way Asa’s group was veiled, they would have fallen off the sidewalk while staring. .
There are a lot of Iranians in Houston, but the only place I’ve ever seen any one veiled was international waiting area at the airport! I see Hijabs all the time.
Beverly Hills has a lot of Iranians, and I’ve never seen a veil there, either. Do you live in Houston? My daughter danced with Houston Ballet’s training program for six weeks several years ago. She loved it there! When I visited to watch her perform, I was surprised at how green and cosmopolitan it is! I had only been to west Texas – quite a difference!
I live a hour south on the gulf coast. My parents families are from the Houston area. I’ve spent a lot of time there. It’s funny you say that about Houston. People are always surprised that most of Texas is green. Lol, why do so many people end up in west Texas? I’ve never been. To me, Houston is the concrete jungle but I like it. San Antonio and Austin are really pretty and fun! If you get a chance to ever visit check them out.
My uncle lives in Abilene, and my cousin lives on the outskirts of Abilene. Their family lived in Dallas prior to that. I don’t remember Dallas much, except for the Neiman Marcus lol My aunt took us to tea there.
I really wanted to see Austin or San Antonio since I was in Houston for several days, but I didn’t want to drive that far by myself, especially in the heat of July! My husband still doesn’t believe me that while looking at my hotel window all I could see was miles and miles of trees! And water everywhere…fountains, rivers….it really was such a nice surprise!
…and i’m still 30 minutes away from Shahs airing. Sometimes I wish we get eastern feed!
Jessica’s a child. And Asa basically told her so throughout dinner and on the curb. Asa was also on target in her TH when she said that his friends would respect him if he just told the truth.
TT’s right – Jessica’s dug Mike’s grave on this show. He won’t be back. Hope her family has lots of dough and that Mike had to sign a prenup.
Jessica: “Don’t come to dinner when we invite you!”
Ummm… come on Jessica. Did they remove the brain in one of those surgeries?
Wait… Did I miss something on this episode? I didn’t see Mike shit-faced! Lol
1. Jessica looks like a fool 100% of the time. She acts like she is about 15 years old.
2. Hiring Asa as your personal chef, life coach, bff is genius. I want some of that.
3. GG pulls the hottest guys.
Jessica is SO disturbing and weird and just plain stank!!! Asa is fake though. Sure, it’s easy to say “wear a chador if you want” but at the end of the day, she likes to be naked like any other American woman. She would never return to Iran if it meant wearing the veil. Asa needs a real job. And yes, GG does get the HOTTEST guys on earth! How does she do it! I can see why MJ sometimes envies her.
Asa went to Turkey and wore the veil. I wore a hijab in northern africa, too. It was not required, but I arrived without one and saw most of the local women wore one. That night I had the ladies working at the riad show me how to tie it. When I went out every day afterward I actually felt much more comfortable, less objectified, and less judged.
When travelling through Europe, Africa & the Middle East I always packed a couple scarves to cover my head for visits to religious sites + they’re an instantaneous fix for a bad hair day (more time sightseeing / less time hair fussing)!
Not wanting to sound foolish, but are hijab’s stifling? A friend’s daughter who was in the process of converting to Islam (for a Facebook boyfriend) wore one to a party I attended. I was embarrassed for her & didn’t dare ask (but did quietly tell her to go inside to freshen up). The party was held out in the hot sun & an hour after she arrived she removed her hijab exposing drenched hair & melted makeup. Or maybe it was just the fabric – quite heavy black material (similar to what you’d imagine was worn under a medieval suit of armor). Come to think of it, it actually didn’t look like hijabs I had seen in the past — maybe it was a homemade attempt. Are they typically a lighter weight?
It depends on the material and if you are use to it! Now their is a one piece Hijab style made of cotton jersey. It’s cooler.
Huh? Did you watch before this season?
I still feel this story about what Mike and GG did in his bedroom while drunk in Turkey is a so what, it ended okay. She apparently said no, so he stopped..Drunk men and wonen make mistakes. He was inappropriate with a friend while he had a GF. She should not have allowed him to play with her thong at dinner and later gone to his bedroom. I think they were both at fault and it should have ended there because he did not force her into something. Now GG and Jessica are both psycho about it a year later, as if it were a rape accusation. Mike should have said I don’t remember, but if I did that I apologize. The End.
The problem started when very-serious-relationship Mike tried to get sexy with GG. GG, being an old friend, kept that secret for her friend (and probably kept info about him and other girls). When Mike decided to violate DBA rules (Don’t Be an Asshole), GG quit secret keeping. It makes sense to me.
Yes! That’s how I saw it. She was getting closer to Jessica, and Mike was being a dick and making no secret of it, so GG had a few little rants why she said it, one being that she was sick of Persian men going behind the backs of the women they are committed to. And Mike is there doing who knows what while Jessica’s out of earshot.
And I don’t think she has as much power as it appears. I think he placate her just enough. Let’s her throw a fit, but he doesn’t say, “Ok, I’m not going to mend things”, as she demanded.
SHAY! Have you been missing a couple days? Or did I just not see your comments?
Yes, that is pretty much what G.G. Said. It seems like all of his friends seem to know more than Jessica is prepared to handle.
I think the production team intends to put Mike on blast this season for his alleged numerous indiscretions. I am told they begin to come out of the woodwork on the show very shortly.

If that’s the case, Jessica’s an even bigger idiot than I thought. She married a serial cheater all because she wanted to be a wife. She wasn’t about to let anyone (including Mike) ruin all her hard work. Now just waiting on some future fucked up kids of divorce (with Jessica teaching them how despicable all Iranians are). Hopefully they’ll just raise pets.
If Mike had said “I don’t remember but if I did, I apologize” it would’ve made much more sense – but his persistent denials make him look guiltier (to everyone but Jessica, since all she cares about is “I’m getting married”!) It’s no secret that Mike’s a massive flirt & if she thinks a ring or marriage license will suddenly change him she’s got a rude awakening. Shay (below) nailed it. Mike violated the DBA rules & GG had enough. In addition, according to them both, GG & Jessica had become good friends & I believe part of her blowing up was to warn her “wake up girl, you’re about to marry an asshole who has no problem making a fool of you”. But clearly it wouldn’t have mattered if there were recordings of the Golden Dool entertaining dozens of women – all that mattered was “I’m going to be a wife”! She’s invested a lot of time & energy in this relationship, she’s not going to let anyone screw it up – not even Mike!
You said it perfectly, Angel; exactly the way I see it too.
Agree, GG is making a mountain out of a mole hill. She is also turning the whole thing into a loyality test for the group ( if you don’t believe her, your not her friend). Jessica will never be able to accept Mike’s friends and that’s ok as long as Mike knows that Jessica and their future children are his family now, not his friends. Those days are over. Doesn’t mean he can’t see them or hang out occasionally. Priorities change when group members couple up and marry. The group needs to understand that too. If they really are friends they will adjust and adapt.
Loyalty test? How about its a Test of Character & Mike is a Cheat. Blame GiGi? Does a female get blamed if a male Hits on her? She kept it to herself UNTIL He ran his arrogant Mouth. This “theory” of Mike & Jessica being Married, therefore more Mature & yada yada.. .Please ….The Delusional relationship they seem to have is a Damn Shit Show. I see Mike as a Male Ho with Zero respect and Jessica Wants to Be “Married” At ALL costs AND on TV. Who would want this Messy relationship Played out for Everyone to see and to top it off, act like None of the viewers Clearly See He is A Ho. Jessica needs to take Several seats. Time for her to focus on being the Perfect Wife ….To Just be seen and not heard. Mike Can do No wrong according to his Wide Eyed Ticky ticky Boom Boom. There’s def a screw loose with her.
Remembering the episode, I think Mike was so drunk he does not remember. GG would not have a story line this season without the “issue.”
I’ d rather see GiGi and ALL her issues, than spend another Second Watching Mikes story line ….Which is “Jessica” & the disfunction in their relationship. GiGi can’t defend herself after she broke the silence over Mikes advances? If Mike had told the Truth, his story line would have been? The wedding and his Fake commitment to Wide Eyes? GiGi is not to blame & I’m sure she didn’t need all this to give her a “story line”. Wt? Would any women want this kind if Negative attention 4 real? She is ON the Show!! I’m sure this drama gave Jessica (eww) a little more Face Time. I hope I never have to see that face next season…Knock on Wood…aka her Head.
I got my husband interested in watching my Bravo shows and we’ll watch RHOA, Shahs, and Southern Charm all in a row. All of these shows are interesting to us because we live in Georgia, I’m from Charleston, and he’s an immigrant and he can totally relate to the cast members from Iran.
I have to laugh whenever one of the women gets pissed and starts cussing up a storm like Jessica did tonight. His 63-year-old, Old-World mentality cannot process a female acting out like that in public. And I agree. Now, I can cuss up a storm, and have showed my ass something awful to him, but never in public like that. And of course, alcohol is always involved which is not a good idea. I was hoping that they, especially Jessica, would order iced tea rather than a drink and hopefully we’d see them make some sense or at least be aware of how they were projecting themselves in public. Other people do not have the right to act the fool and show out like that in a public place. I’d be pissed if I were at a neighboring table and wanted a nice relaxing dinner out with my significant other and idiots like this were showing their asses and disturbing our peace.
MJ is the one that really is going to be hurt. It is sad as TT said, knowing Charlie is a fraud.
Shay, yeah I don’t know the rules for assholes. I always thought they were usually just out for themselves. This is the first season GG hasn’t been one, or maybe she just changed her M O. I will never forget the knife aficionado, the gut threatening, spoiled ass she makes of herself. If she doesn’t get her way, there’s hell to pay.
I don’t know why, but I was already not liking Charlie for MJ even before knowing it was fake for tv on his part. She just gave so much more than he did from the start. I feel so bad that she was treated so crappy on tv. Hope her next guy treats her like a real catch.
I must have missed something. How did you find out it was fake? I didn’t like them together either.
Sorry.
Were you ever in college and had a professor tell you they discussed something that was a test question and everyone, even the nerdiest kid was like, no you didn’t?
I am feeling like that professor. Maybe I didn’t post what I knew because I love MJ. I’ll try to remember to do it but have lots to do in THE WORLD this week. So feel free to nudge me.

I have always strongly disliked GG, but I think she is more vulnerable this year. And she is not feuding with a female castmate (except Jessica, but, like my comment above, and Addie’s and Shay’s, I truly believe GG had formed a friendship with Jessica and thought clueing her in would be a favor.)
So, then, why didn’t she call or meet Jessica, to tell her? GG has no real balls. It only came out, because GG blurted it out when Mike told her to go fuck herself. That is in no way being a friend to Jessica. If Mike hadn’t ‘pushed’ her, when was she going to tell Jessica? GG is all talk. Also, the video we saw of Mike walking back to his room doesn’t show a to-drunk-to-remember Mike.
She kind of did fool around with her knives the first couple of episodes. I still don’t know. Don’t buy it with her. She is a loose cannon. They are all just so so mentally young.
I feel so bad for MJ . It’s so hard to put your heart out there for a man and trust them. I can’t even put my head around how it would feel to be blasted like that on tv by someone using you while you are so totally in live with them. It’s just difficult to watch knowing what he’s doing to her.
I was so angry when I heard him tell MJ that he was going to have to “put a ring on it!” What a jerk.
Mike made a drunken pass at GG at 3 am in the morning. At that point he could have been making a pass at the sofa for all he knew. It is not like he declared his undying love to her. Why do we need a polygraph and all this nonsense? Why is this crap a season long story? If Mike had wanted to screw her he could have all the times she threw herself at him. That being said, Jessica is an idiot but with friends like these Mike doesnt need enemies.
Oh, okay. Well maybe she wanted a polygraph for people like you who got it all figured out.
And, I get the feeling Jessica would flip.her shit about Mike making a pass at anyone–or anything, such as a sofa.
Who do you know that runs out and gets a polygraph when something they are saying is not received well?
People on “reality” shows.

Ive finally caught up on the episodes. I was really disturbed at the proposal how Jessica kept going on and on hysterically crying about how she is going to be A wife. Not I am going to be YOUR (Mike’s) wife, its just so weird, like she didnt care who gave her a ring, as long as she got one. Also never noticed in years past that Mike had such dark circles under his eyes… they make him look really menacing this year. Everytime I see him all I can hear in my head is Hulk Mad!!! Hulk SMASH!!….(every female that crosses his path, LOL)
That was hilarious! I thought Jessica’s reaction was weird to…she just wants to be married and may be one of those women who have no clue that marriage takes compromise and sacrifice.
Holy shit, I will stop what I’m doing if that is on and I just sit there, staring at the TV going, “What in the fuck is wrong with her? What is wrong with that girl???” But I wonder it very seriously. That was weird!
Could it have been staged and she overdid it?
It was way, way over the top. Who the fuck cries hysterically, when they get engaged? It’s just such BS. She looked ridiculous and kind of desperate.
THANK YOU!! Her response was so embarrassing to me. It was l like that has been her only goal and dream since she was a zygote. Jessica has a 16 year old weatherbeaten book with all her wedding “looks’ in it. She seems like the type…yep she sure does.
Jessica looks like a FOOL displacing her anger on everyone but Mike. Asa remained so cool when Jessica was screaming at her. She is awesome!
Also… I love looking at Asa’s food. She should forget the diamond water, and package her hummus. It looks yummy!!!
i must have missed something. where did we find out that Charlie was cheating? i googled and didn’t find anything. from the latest episode, it sure doesn’t seem like MJ is aware of this.
wow, so many reactions. firstly, omg YYAAASSSSS to Asa as a personal life coach! I adore her and honored to say we share a birthday (go Aries!).
I’m curious where you found out about Charlie being a liar? I googled it to no avail, but something about him has struck me as off or fake this whole season. His responses to her are just *too perfect*, ya know? Almost like it was rehearsed (for ex. when she gives him the photos and mentions victoria secret angels and he says that’s how he always sees her.) That is really a shame and MJ is a sweet girl who deserves someone supportive in her life.
Jessica: wow, she came off so bad this episode (and season). Asa was very polite to her, making very pleasant conversation and complimenting Jessica and her family, all while Jessica came off a bit cold. Her tirade was redonks. She says she’ll “start from the beginning” but then mentions an event from within the past couple weeks. I loved Asa’s logic at explaining she made a promise and if Jessica values her word, she’d get where Asa is coming from. Also, loved Asa’s line “no body wants to be invited to dinner to be scolded over some bullshit.”
i totally think Asa is the most mature and intelligent cast member. I like her moxie. She isn’t just about being friendly. She doesn’t mind ruffling feathers. When I saw her in the first season with the persian pop princess, i thought it was silly. But, she’s stuck with her idea and keeps pushing by doing art shows, the latest veil event, etc. I really like her now.
I hope someone answers about the Charlie cheating rumor – where did that come from ?
agree whole heartedly! and she IS genuine b/c I blogged about how much I liked her style/inspiration on us women of near eastern descent and she not only responded to me, but also retweeted it!
Came back to add: maybe this is an east vs west coast thing, but I’ve NEVER heard anyone say “fake the funk” and I am a writer! Also, you’re right, Asa is not just about being nice because she is sophisticated. Even when arguing with the others, she continues to lay down logical facts/lines of thought vs. just shouting obscenities.
There are two reasons GG waited this long to expose Mike. 1) THIS IS A TV SHOW. Did any of you ever stop to think she was waiting for the cameras to be on her to expose Mike’s behavior? She could have very well brought it up sooner but since they are on TV, she most likely waited for the cameras to start rolling (as it does create an intriguing storyline. 2) Mike knew her since she was a young girl, they have a brother-sister bond and it HURT GG deeply to know that someone who fancies themselves to be your brother would make a pass at you. If someone liked me as a “brother” but then tried to get sexual, of course, I’d feel uncomfortable and wonder “what the hell is going on?” But mostly, she did it for TV ratings. Asa’s so-called “maturity” is fake. The only reason she appears that way is because she prides herself on pointing out other people’s flaws and stepping in like Jesus to “save” the person. She has an ugly side too (yep, she pushed GG first at the pool party during Season 2). Her poor mother barely has money but she has gold buried under her house?! WTF!!!
The thing is Bravo has them under contract that of something is brought up they ALL have to discuss it and it HAS to be included in the upcoming season. GG after spilling months and months ago was obligated by contract to keep it going so were the rest of the crew. Mike is a horn dog that is well known. Jessica is an immature famewhore who cannot handle her emotions well. Asa is awesomeness itself btw!
How do you know what their Bravo contract says?
Jax from VPR actually said in an Ask Me Anything on Reddit that if cast members get into some type of fight, they have to meet to go over the issue on camera. Hence all the “lunches” that normal people would never have with people that they can’t stand to rehash old arguments.
Didn’t Jessica see the footage of Mike playing wit GG’s G-string in Turkey? That should answer any questions for both Mike and Jessica. And boy, Mike is really whipped.
She is so desperate to get that wedding ring on the finger and she will overlook anything from him. Look…she bleepin’ took conversion classes to become Jewish and why you might ask? To get the proposal and the approval of his family!
Yes! I think the G-string incident in Turkey should have caused Jessica to think twice about Mike’s innocence.
Jessica’s behavior sure took a turn for the worse. She is a nightmare. Who stands in front of a restaurant screaming to someone down the street?? As for Reza etc not coming forward before Shervin’s pool party, I’m not sure how Mike’s friends were supposed to anticipate GG spilling the cheating story in front those guests.
I almost felt sorry for Mike after this episode. Maybe Jessica will allow him the use of his balls on alternating Tuesdays.
I stopped watching this show after GG announced that Mike tried to have sex with her in Turkey at a pool party- a year before. GG made it first sound like Mike attempted to rape her; or raped her and she held the secret in pain.
…………seems like they were drunk wasted and Mike hit on her and she turned him down and he was OK with it.
I don’t know if its just me, but what’s the big deal? Mike wasn’t engaged or married, and they were drunk- he offered….she declined.
Jessica should grow up. I, personally think that he realized what he has and that he could’ve lost it all with stupid drunken behavior. if its behavior she thinks will continue- end it. She’s very young and she is acting so poorly- – no man is worth that.
Did you guys see the interviews online after the show?..The interviewer asked mike about married life THE FIRST THING he said is ” I get hit on more now then I did when I was single”. He’s a whore with commitment issues and she is an insecure controlling prison warden. They need their own show.
Something happened with Mike and GG. He’s an insecure player wanna be and she is a psycho pot stirrer. Jessica comes across as a lunatic but I think GG was an asshat to humiliate another woman publicly. That does not sit well with me. Jessica did nothing to her, and frankly, I think GG LOVES the attention. The others were under no obligation to tell Mike but should have told GG to keep them out of that shit. And they all could have been more compassionate toward Jessica and just say, hey sorry you got caught in the crossfire – we really did not want any involvement with this. MJ fueled GG’s need for attention. I really think a few kind words to Jessica would have made the difference along with staying out of it and not chasing them down to drag out the drama. Jessica made her choice – it’s pretty obvious from Day One that Mike is a dumb dumb meathead-skirt chaser. He feels inadequate and needs to prove his manhood though I think GG made the choice to go to his room at 3 am and loved that he tried. I don’t think she’s mad about that. I think she’s mad his guilty conscience made him be an asshat after that. She is not one to play with fire around – it will come back to bite your weiner off.
Well Said! Well Said!
Just a thought – I think the ROOT of why Jessica finds Mike’s friends “evil” is because they gossip, party and drink too much, fight a little too much for her taste and none of them seem to be “stable” in the career department. I just feel that the way she vocalizes this frustration is not clear but she does have a point when she thinks Mike can MAKE better friends but as a result of knowing his friends for as long as he has, he doesn’t want to sever ties. Still, Jessica should not settle for someone like Mike. He isn’t worth the effort. She wants so desperately to be married that she doesn’t see that she is not a good fit for Mike nor he for her. His friends are the way they are, so she needs to either accept THEM or move on. And somehow, deep down inside, I still feel that Asa’s maturity is a PSEUDO-maturity. It’s funny how as soon as someone WRONGS HER, she isn’t afraid to use “colorful” language. Like I said, for someone who claims to be so enlightened, when push comes to shove, she doesn’t act like it. And I’d like to point out, that there’s nothing wrong with her paintings, photographs, singing, politics, art pieces, etc. But she isn’t the “mega” star she thinks she is nor will she ever be. She needs to get a stable career and do her “art thang” on the side.
Um, she wants to be on the show so bad she is willing to change her religion to be on it pretending she doesn’t want to be on it.

I like to get a feel of the Persian culture. Of course, Asa over does it, but is very interesting. So is Reza. Also, I like M.J. They are all complicated with big problems. I love when travel is part of the show.
