Well, we are back in Paradise and everyone is miserable. Reza is off his diet and Jefferson has arrived. Why don’t Reza and Jefferson just get married. Bobby and Asifa left and returned to LA. The arrival of Jefferson and the departure of Asifa has completely turned the mood around. GG and MJ and some dude pretended to be Muslim so that Reza could remind us of his Anti-Islamic feelings. If you recall in Turkey he spent half the trip mocking the Muslims and the veil. Because, asshole. They tolerate Scientology in Beverly Hills, a fake religion where they all believe they are from another planet, and you can’t show respect for a religion that has been around thousands of years? Isn’t half of his family Muslim? I’m ignoring GG’s talking head.
Reza gets a suit made in Thailand. Mike is getting a suit and a tuxedo made in Beverly Hills. Reza says he is missing Adam. Mike tells his brother he is missing Reza. Mike says he is going to invite Reza to his wedding.
The gang goes for a fish pedicure. I want to get one of those. I could feed them for days. MJ brings up the obligatory fake storyline between Asa and her. Then it is off to boxing. Reza does not know how to behave anywhere. It’s so embarrassing. Then they are off to seek out the “lady boys” aka transsexuals. Reza is thrilled and gets up to work the poll with the strippers. Reza horn-dogged his depression away.
The next day the all go to a tiger sanctuary. Sadly, Reza was mauled to death. RIP Reza.
Okay maybe that didn’t happen. Sorry. Bad recapping. They actually get to cuddle and pet a fully grown tiger. It’s insane. I saw them with the cub pictured above, but they were one on one inside a cage with a FULLY GROWN TIGER. I don’t think I would do that. It seems insane. Did they not have to sign releases? Oh yeah, Phucket. Then they visited a cage full of baby tigers. So adorable. Shervin has the line of the show. As Reza is literally crawling behind the cubs and kissing them on their ass, Shervin says, “I’ve never seen Reza chase pussy.” #DEAD
Asa takes everyone to a Buddist Temple for a cleansing ritual. This is why Asa would be the only person on all of Bravo I would travel with. Even Reza behaves. GG is already crying. Bless her heart. She could come with us too. I was teary at the tiger but I would be a blubbering fool in the temple. Like widow wailing on the casket of her dead husband, wailing. All the girls cry in the purity circle. Which, um, makes me feel like less of an idiot. (shut up!).
GG’s new boyfriend, Danny is a doll. They Skype from Thailand. I hope this is the real deal for her. Reza and Asa meet in the morning. You can tell Reza has been crying a lot. Asa says he needs to think about why he is so sad. Reza said he is so embarrassed to be walking away from such a good relationship. Adam loves him. He was taking Farsi, his family loves him. He feels like an asshole for walking away over a lack of passion. Asa says, she knows some of the problems that they have and those things are not fixable. Either it is there or it isn’t. Reza says so you just invest all of this time with someone and you walk away because you are not sexually satisfied. Reza says he knows he is doing the right thing, but at the same time he is hurting the person he loves most in the world.
Oh FUCK noe. We have a scene with Asifa and Bobby. I was hoping those were over forever. Asifa is very pretty. She just needs…. some maturity. These two just keep repeating the same patterns. I’ve been in this situation before and it really sucks. They have been doing this for six years. Bobby puts her on a new 60 day plan.
On the last night in Phucket, they go to the paid for reception. Asa they get ready, MJ and Asa make up. BTW, check out Asa’s website for Kaftans and Turbans and accessories. Bring a big fat wallet. Speaking of fat, I’ve talked to her about getting larger sizes. Currently there is one style in a 2X and she has a new shipment of larger sizes coming.
Reza is struggling to get dressed for what would have been his wedding night. I am starting to believe this whole wedding cancelling thing really happened. Reza has been crying a lot. Getting ready to go to the place where he was supposed to be getting married is hard. This whole episode has been kind of emotional. The wedding dinner was lovely and terribly, terribly sad. They have menus with the wedding date and Adam and Reza’s name. The whole thing is just …sad. Reza and Jefferson hug and Reza cries on his shoulder. They each profess their love to each other. I still say they could have just subbed Jefferson in for Adam and gone on with things. I bet Jefferson is in the bridal suite with Reza. Reza leaves the table for a walk on the beach. He smokes on camera for the first time. This is real. The meal looks delicious and it was cooked on the beach. Jefferson suggests a night skinny dip with the entire group. The girls won’t do it but the guys do. So the guys drag them in.
Reza says he is going to go home and do right by Adam and make up with Mike.
fin.
Is something wrong with my Internet? You had this posted 6 minutes after it ended more than an hour ago and no comments?
I wish I could be just like Asa – she has confidence in herself, and isn’t the least bit arrogant.
Asa is the only one I like pretty much all the time. Asifa and Bobby need to go away, beyond annoying!
To be in Thailand….a dream of mine!
Beth, by the way, I agree, Asa’s confidence is genuine.
I have to say that in spite of Reza’s inappropriate comments and his childish behavior I actually find myself feeling deeply sorry for him and sweet Adam. This was a very emotional episode. I loved the temple scene and found myself a bit teary too. The tiger cubs were way too cute. I have to say I am liking Asa more and more. I do believe her heart is true and she stays on point with her beliefs. I respect that. This was the best episode of the season.
There are things that occur on the show from time to time that I think is pur BS! I believe Reza and Adam were having problems ..Reza’s tears seemed to be real his body language was telling also. Adam is sweet and seems totally submissive to Reza he loves him! Reza better do some kissing up possibly sucking up LMAO& get Adam back!
I’m going with the assumption that since Bravo/Seacrest paid for the wedding trip, ceremony, and reception, Reza was forced to go through with it, and production planted those menus.
Y’all know I do not like Reza and think the man is just horrid, but (and this is a big but) even I don’t think he is stupid enough to not to have cancelled the reception and gotten a refund if he was able to.
so reza and Adam get a spinoff wedding show? where else can this go? everyone else “stories” are booor(yawn)ing
and if I were Adam after the mock wedding dinner I would CHARGE HIS wallet to the black card limit!!
Not one word about MJs fake boyfriend?
Asa is the only one in a truly loving relationship with her BF of five years. The rest are very unsettled and are escaping or masking their emptiness with the constant partying. I actually feel bad for Adam, how awful to have this air and be part of your history together. I do not see Reza doing much to promote the intimacy or romance he says he craves, it’s like he assumes it’s all Adam’s fault. Look in the mirror dude. Greasy hair, gold chains and fat ass and a nasty personality do not turn most people on. Ugh.
Who stole Bobby’s balls?
Jessica.
Touché!

ROFL… best response ever 🙂
I felt really badly for Reza here, when previously I hadn’t. It’s a horrible thing to want to feel something for someone that you don’t and feel like you’re crushing the other person because of it. I believe he is in love with the idea of adam, and feels he should be happy with him, but if there is no passion, it’s just friendship and one sided. Horrible situation to be in, but Asa gives great advice, as always. She’s the only person besides Cameran on SC that I feel keeps a level head and gives solid, rational, mature advice. Bobby and Asifa are just beyond toxic, he keeps making her out to be the only problem and taking no responsibility for his part, it’s going nowhere.
Shae, Amen to that! Your spot on! Asifa & Bobby are toxic and they both equally get on my nerves. She’s annoying as all shit but he’s no saint. I can see why she holds a grudge against him for sleeping with her friend even if they weren’t with each other at the time. I think that’s just wrong in my opinion- I am sure there were plenty of girls he could have had sex with, he didn’t have to go there. With that said, Asa being the voice of reason summed it up perfectly when she said that you have to either forgive or move on. Just as you said Shae, Asa always gives great advice.
I found Reza to be an instigator by getting in the middle of their relationship last episode and I would never take advice from someone like him for obvious reasons. He was getting Bobby all riled up and then acts surprised when shit blows up. We all know Asifa is always barking out complaints & looking to start but the way Bobby brings up issues all the time and picks fights in front of everyone is equally as bad. I think it’s 50/50 they both disrespect each other big time and are guilty of doing the exact same things to one another. Are horrible as they are together, I find them to be alike in that regard.
Exactly. He disrespected her first by initiating a serious conversation about the state of their relationship in front of the whole group. That’s beyond rude. it’s as if he can’t stand on his own two feet and he needs to air his grievances to everyone else for support and backing. Not how a mature man handles relationship problems. Then she just loses her mind and it snowballs from there. Mutual disrespect and mistrust. Sad.
Reminds me of a song by Bonnie Raitt: ” I can’t make you love me if you don’t, you can’t make you’re heart feel something it won’t…”
Beautiful song but really, really, really sad.
I can’t even imagine Adam having to watch this and hearing Reza say he expected to have a “good time” on his wedding trip without the partner he was supposed to marry. Insult to injury
“Sadly, Reza is mauled to death. RIP Reza.” OMG, THAT made me laugh out loud. For real. Thanks, I needed that laugh today.
For me this show is getting to contrived. I hope a few things are still real, like GG and Danny. Are they still together? Reza and Adam breakup. And that MJ really didn’t know that Charlie was seeing someone else. I’m not wishing anyone pain or hurt but I don’t think it’s cool to play with viewer’s when it comes to marriage. Also, Asifa and Bobby bye. Keep Shervin and Nima. At least they try and be fun.
I want to be able to play with a baby tiger! They were so adorable.
Reza is not as good looking as he thinks he is. I would think most men attracted to him would be after his wallet. He is so lucky to have Adam who truly adores him. After over 20 years of marriage I can tell you the sex is not the most important part. The passion is from a different place. It’s from having someone love you as much as they did the day the met you and still thinking your beautiful even though you’ve put on a few pounds. Ok more than a few pounds. Reza has someone who I think would love him like that but I do think he can get over his love of the single life to embrace him.
Adam wants companionship and Reza wants sex. That’s the difference between the two of them. They both need to find a way to meet in the middle to make it work. Either they love each other to do this or not. I don’t believe Reza is mature enough and maybe never will be. Somewhere deep inside he must realize this and so the tears.
You know I think that is partly right. But something isn’t right for Adam either if he is looking at Porn all the time. Maybe he isn’t physically attracted to Reza either and that’s why there is no passion. I don’t like Reza for many reasons but I do thing he is right not to go on if he doesn’t feel like the two of them are going to make it. Some heartache now or lots of heartache later. Or maybe it is all a ruse. No one was really very interesting this year. All they were was whiney, rude, childish, and boring.
And I don’t think Reza has it in him to love Adam back in that way. Reza seems to have a major inferiority complex going on.
Reza needs to understand that a happy marriage consists of people who like being together a whole lot even when they aren’t having sex. Even people who have sex daily still have a hell of a lot of hours to interact when sex isn’t happening, and over time that aspect of life diminishes or disappears. You need to have more in common than how horny you are.
Too bad tigers don’t eat shahlami.
The one thing I love about watching Shah’s is that these people actually EAT! When it comes to that- they are like the rest of us humans and actually enjoy their food! I also love watching a show where everyone isn’t a size 00 and the women have curves!
A high colonic would have refreshed Reza. It’s always nice to eliminate bullshit. By the way tigers eat their young not their seniors.
Disappointed in the finale although some scenes were nice – baby tigers and monks chanting. Other than that, not so great. And…the part with Mike and his Pit Bull was so gratuitous. Wouldn’t you just know that he would own a Pit Bull. The dog and his wife have similar personalities. Mike’s the kind of guy who comes off all “nice guy” but who is really a jerk, I’m thinking.
It looked like a Shar pei mix to me…..
How many 60 day plans does Asifa get? She is very pretty but if I was a guy I would have put her on a 30 minute plan to straighten up after the 1st plan failed. GG has come a long way for me since her previous messiness. I like her with a boyfriend. He seems nice and normal. Would like her to forgive Mike though. Not for him but for her. Just is strange. If I was mad at every guy that tried to screw me when he was drunk I’d have no friends! Isn’t that what they do when your young? I would have been madder if nobody had hit on me I look my best thru beer goggles lol.
What is wrong with me? I’m a sucker and believe that everything on Southern Charm is real, but TT says everything is fake & foolery on that show.
Here for this Shah’s episode I think everything is fake, but TT is saying it seems all real? In my opinion I think the whole Reza-Adam wedding trip to Thailand was a FAKE FAKE story line to get the whole cast on a trip (as they do every year).
I think producers told Reza that he couldn’t bring Adam to Thailand and Reza had to go along with it. Even though his relationship with Adam is probably real & authentic, poor Adam & his dignity got sacrificed because of a production driven story line.
Those tigers were doped. Horrible practice that should be outlawed. I don’t feel sorry for Reza. I feel for Adam. Reza the big ‘ole ham knows how to look after himself.
This!!
Thailand wasn’t one of the places I thought I’d like to visit, but I may have to plan a trip just to play with little, baby tigers!! I was super happy just watching it on the show. How amazing!
Reza is an idiot. All relationships outgrow that crazy swinging from the chandalier sex. Nothing would get done in the world if it didnt fade. Either you love Adam or you dont. Reza is too imature for a long term relationship let alone marriage. He would bail if the going got tough.
I can’t stand Reza, even in this episode. I dont care, HE canceled the wedding. IMHO, He needs to go to therapy for sex addiction. Especially after saying his father was a sex addict.
