It’s finally time for a new season of Shahs! MJ and Tommy have moved in to a new apartment together. While it is new to them, it is not new at all. It needs a lot of renovating and for whatever reason, they opted to move in before starting the construction. OMG. There is an even bigger problem with the apartment. MJ’s mama, Vida lives in the building and can literally see into their unit from her place. In the very first episode, Vida and Tommy get into a screaming match.
Mike
Mike has also moved into a new apartment and it looks awesome. Mike is having a party. Mike’s mother is happy that he is divorced and she can be the main woman in his life again.
Golnesa
GG is going to some sort of California whackadoodle yoga/meditation class to deal with her anger issues. She also claims to have gone to rehab after attacking Adam last season. There is a lot of yelling and crying and burning resentments on little pieces of paper.
Asa
Asa meets with Reza to tell him she is pregnant. She is five months along. I am having trouble focusing on this conversation because I am mesmerized by Asa’s jewelry.
Asa is at the doctor who is trying to tell her to get a flu shot and whooping cough vaccine. I scream at my TV, “ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY NOT.” Thankfully, Asa hears me and politely declines. Asa’s mom cries during the ultrasound.
Reza
Reza tries to pretend he doesn’t have time to play tennis during the day. Adam rolls his ankle right off the bat. Adam tells Reza he is ready for babies. Apparently, they have not even bought a house yet.
Shervin
Sherv has some guys over for a BBQ by the pool. Oh we are going to pretend that Sherv is dating the blond beard chick from Australia. Reza tells Mike to hire his friend Destiny to do his party planning. Destiny will be familiar to you if you watched People’s Couch. Destiny will be a friend of Shahs this season.
Reza says that he can’t be around GG at Mike’s party because she “lied” about Reza having a sex tape. Reza you have humiliated EVERYONE on the show except for Asa. You accused GG of not being sick all last year and bullied her to damn death. Bitch, sit down. Mike agrees not to invited GG.
I refuse to recap anything to do with these people vaginas, psuedovaginas or assholes.
Mike’s Party
Destiny hires hooker to stand around nekkid and twerk with lampshades on their heads. I am not making this up. MJ shows her appreciation for Mike’s new place by humping the couch and humping his bead like a bitch in heat. I am not making this up. It didn’t take long to remind me why I hate this show. These people are just so uncouth.
MJ and Mike Discuss What To Expect on Season Six!
Asa announces to the group that she is pregnant and reveals her baby bump.This is going to kill MJ and Tommy didn’t come to the party because he wanted to stay home and watch the Mets play. So she will be turning to her friend, tequila. But first, she gives being happy for Asa the good old college try. Then she asks a whole bunch of questions about marriage, and what religion the baby will be, and if she and Jermaine are going to live together. (no, blew off the question, yes). Asa asks when she and Tommy are getting married and MJ tells her about her father’s stroke. MJ gets upset talking about her father. It doesn’t help that she is drinking like a fish. Mike is really nice to MJ.
MJ gets super drunk. Reza grabs MJ and takes her home. MJ tell Reza she wants to have a baby too. There it is. Reza tells her that Adam is in a hurry to have babies too. Reza is hesitant.
Next week: MJ gets wasted again. People begin the season long attack on Asa. They apparently have a problem with her not getting married before the baby comes.
Adam: Mj you lost weight
MJ: Thanks
Me: Bitch Where? Her stomach was suffocating in that jumpsuit ? It was cute though.
Great premiere ?
It was poking out thru that hole on that jumpsuit.it was ridiculous.almost as ridiculous as her wearing those daisy duke shorts. I actually became nauseated watching her walk around in clothes sizes two or three too small. Thank you for pointing out where that destiny girl was from. Guess bravo just gonna shuttle around people from their shows instead of wasting time and money finding new faces.
No vaccines? You are f***ing crazy. What is with you crazy women?
She’s actually very smart. She hasn’t said anything about THE BABY getting vaccines, but flu shots are NOT WISE for pregnant women and Whooping Cough vaccines in a pregnant women is PARTICULARLY insane. She needs a new doctor.
Was shocked, began screaming at tv. Never heard of this. That poor baby’s immune system is developing and does not need anything else invading.
New doc. Next!
That’s…that’s not how vaccines work. Nothing would “invade the baby’s immune system” – that’s just, no.
Outside of that statement being generally misguided, doctors don’t generally give “live” vaccines to pregnant women – neither pertussis nor most forms of flu vaccines (sans nasal) are live.
Let’s all pray that the anti-vaxxers continue spreading misinformation and we all die of the bubonic plague before reality television rejects continue to take over our government.

regarding the whooping cough shot given to pregnant women.
THAT SAID AS SOMEONE WITH A NIECE WHOSE ENTIRE LIFE WAS TAKEN FROM HER AND IS SEVERELY DEBILITATED BY THE DPT VACCINE, I WILL BE BANNING ANY FURTHER PRO VACCINE DISCUSSION BY ANYONE.
Go make your own choices, but DO NOT disparage Asa for hers.
I’m not disparaging of Asa’s choice, its a decision that doesn’t affect public health – I couldn’t care less.
What I do care about is people spreading misinformation that well intending but generally misguided people could utilize to undermine public health and safety for preventable but incredibly deadly diseases.
I’m sorry to hear about your nieces struggles but without specific case details I can’t consider that to be a sturdy enough foundation in which to form such a bias on — family stories tend to be an amalgamation of fable and truth, intentional or not.
Thank you Tamara! That was crazy! I would never pump my body full of vaccines while my baby was in utero forming!
Thank God she didn’t get the vaccines while pregnant!
Asa and Lilly ghalichi are exactly the same in one clear way. Both are/were on this show to hawk their latest products. I think the fact that she’s got a good relationship with her mom and isn’t nasally is why she has lasted longer. I’ve never felt she was authentic. First she tries to sing, then she sells expensive water-WATER- I feel sorry for her baby because in that culture it’s not acceptable to do things the way they’ve done it. It’s not a judgment btw. I doubt they’ll get married at this point. Also Mike is a perv. And MJ’s self esteem at her size is enviable. She hasn’t always been my favorite but I give her credit. She’s got a pretty face so that probably helps. Lol
Her diamond water was carried by Four Seasons Dubai and other high end places. It would not surprise me if it was still in production.
Saw it a few weeks ago at this Mediterranean grocery store I shoppe at. Actually took the bottle and looked at it wondering to myself, “what reeeaaallly is so special here…???…”
Came up with, nothing.
I don’t feel sorry for that baby. Whatever happens in this child’s life, he/she will have a very loving mother. I believe Asa will embrace and love that child unconditionally. That’s very precious and can’t be overestimated, especially to those of us that don’t have that. Her parents must be over-the-moon as well.
I admire Asa, she has many interests and embraces all the opportunities availed her. She just goes for it.
Asa most assuredly should get vaccinated for influenza! She should also plan to relieve her pertussis (Tdap) during her third trimester. Her family and anyone else meant to be around the newborn should also receive these vaccinations. There are NO contraindications for these vaccines during gestation, unless mother has an allergy to eggs or currently has an active infection.
Flu and whooping cough will kill a baby.

I agree 100%
Me too hun. What pisses me off about vaccines is that here in Australia, you are exempt from certain government benefits if you don’t vax your child. They even send the kid beautiful picture books where kids slay dragons with their vaccine swords. Nothing like kiddie propaganda. It is MY choice what I put into my child’s body and not the thought police.
Practicing 21 years and you don’t know the facts about flu shots?
First of all turn on your TV to your favorite show and watch all the fear mongering commercials for vaccines. DO YOU NOT SEE HOW PEOPLE ARE BEING BRAINWASHED?
Women have managed to birth babies for centuries without vaccines.
The Vaccine commercials FOR REASONS THAT IRK ME TO NO END are allowed to push vaccines for HPV, Shingles, Hep C and anything else the want to with NO MENTION OF SIDE EFFECTS.
EVERY SINGLE OTHER FUCKING MEDICINE ON THE MARKET HAS TO LIST ALL THE SIDE EFFECTS OF THE BIG PHARM PRODUCT THEY PUSH EXCEPT VACCINES!
The HPV Vaccines are THE WORST. They do not point out the odds of your kid getting HPV, how HPV is preventable by condoms, how the vaccine only covers a HANDFUL of HPV strains, or the fact that most HPV is curable and doesn’t kill anybody.
As for the fucking FLU SHOT, it changes every year. There is not testing on it AT FUCKING ALL. So just roll up your sleeve and hope it works. Asa is in a VERY low risk group for flu. The flu vaccine IS A CRAP SHOOT EVERY YEAR. In no way would I take a flu shot.
THE GODDAM WHOOPING COUGH portion of the kids vaccine is what fucked my neice up for life and she has had Grand Mal seizures as a result for her 30 plus years of life so far and is COMPLETELY disabaled and won the largest out of court settlement at the time against a drug company and her parents were on 20/20. or whatever it was.
IT WAS THE DPT SHOT THAT DID HER IN. She has been in and out of intensive care for over 30 years. And the P part of that shot is WHOOPING COUGH.
SO SIT YOU ASS DOWN and take all of the government shots you would like to take, but Asa is smart as fuck for saying NO THANK YOU.
HPV is NOT preventable via condoms, and the vast majority of the sexually actively population carries several strains. Most people contract HPV via first intercourse, and roughly 10% of the population won’t clear it from their system and it will manifest in either warts or later cancer depending on the strain type (the strain that causes warts is different than those that become cancerous). The vaccine doesn’t protect against every strain because that’s redundancy personified – it only prevents those that are cancer and wart causing.
You couldn’t be more wrong regarding most of the drivel you’re spewing. The HPV vaccine was a major medical breakthrough and it will save countless lives of women and men from getting cervical and anal cancer. Bitch the misinformation you’re spreading right now is straight up lethal.
No you’re the bitch. You wouldn’t be spreading your venom if you had a perfectly healthy, intelligent, beautiful, athletic daughter who got the hpv shot and became completely disabled, would you! It’s ruined the lives of countless teenage girls. Asa thank God is right. Tamara is 1,000 percent right.
Okay now I am crying. Misha, I am so very sorry. I am SO ANGRY when I see those fear based commercial that tell parents that have kids saying “did you know?” my sister didn’t know that giving her the DPT shot would make he 16 month old disabled forever either. She is thirty something now, has seizures very regularly, I was he part time caretaker for a while to give her parents a break, but basically my sister spends a lot of time in the hospital trying to keep her from dying.
At some point the “fixed” the DPT shot that ruined my neice’s life. But after all that I would have not vaccinated my children based on family reaction and or religious beliefs.
The HPV vaccination ads are particularly offensive to my family. The fear mongering and the “Mom, Dad, Did you know?” aspect makes me want to throw a brick through the TV,
There are many vaccines which are tested and fine. HPV, The flu shot, and others are not. The DPT shot has been changed since it ruined my neice’s life.
So for those reasons, I say Asa has every right to reject whatever vaccine she wants.
I am so very sorry for you Misha. Sadly, Big Pharm controls the dialogue most places BUT NOT HERE,
YOU ARE A FUCKING IDIOT. Just like any other STD it is caused by unprotected sexual contact.
LEARN THE FACTS. The HPV vaccine is NOT a major medical breakthough. HINT the whole deadly thing is a fallacy. If you google HPV in any sense, THE VERY FIRST THING that comes up on Google is DEATHS FROM THE VACCINE. Google it yourself.
The number of deaths from the vaccine outweigh disease.
I’m just saying,
And I will give you one more post to test me on the vaccine issue and then I will ban you, and I would hate to do that,
HPV is not like ever other STD as it is spread through skin to skin contact. Condoms help, but as other skin areas touch your partner during intercourse condoms don’t protect 100%. Which is why it’s important to not have sec during and outbreak if you have HPV and if you don’t to look and make sure your partner doesn’t have lesions/warts.
Not getting into the vaccine debate, just wanted to clear that little part up about HPV transmission.
HPV is contracted sexually on the male penis or the female vagina/cervix. Not on any random body part that you have contact with during sex.
A few numbers from the CDC
” Every year, approximately 17,600 women and 9,300 men are affected by cancers caused by HPV.”
The number for women includes precancerous cervical cells found by a pap smear. This is an teeny tiny fraction of the sexually active population.
For comparative purposes, approximately 800,000 Americans contract gonorrhea each year.
Additionally there are many strains of HPV and the vaccine only covers less than five strains so it does not provide complete protection from HPV.
Also, they are still experimenting on the proper doses. Now they have decided that three doses three doses is too much for small children and are scaling it back to two doses. I wonder how they figured that out?
And here is a little nugget about interactions between the flu shot and the Whooping Cough booster. “Young children who get the flu shot along with pneumococcal vaccine (PCV13), and/or DTaP vaccine at the same time might be slightly more likely to have a seizure caused by fever. Ask your doctor for more information. Tell your doctor if a child who is getting flu vaccine has ever had a seizure.”
I know this maybe won’t get posted and that’s fine it’s not my blog. Still will be sad. 🙁
I totally believe it is Asa’s and any other persons choice. I’m just disappointed how many people seem not to be well versed in critical analysis.
I get it I live in a tiny bubble. If I bring up any serious discourse (political, religious, financial, scientific etc.), I will literally be torn apart if I’m not prepared with a logical argument. Minimal fallacies, minimal biases.
I don’t expect this intensity from people. It’s completely unnecessary. Heck this is why I watch Bravo, so I don’t have to think for an hour or so a day.
But please we still should know our sources shouldn’t be from Google or blogs from a UPenn grad with a Masters (which she failed to mention in what). Also, I know it’s hard but case studies aren’t proof. They might be valid (and I’m pissed and upset what happened to your loved ones) but that’s a dangerous game to play. I could give a couple of horrible medical anecdotes myself that hurt my loved ones.
I just want to hear from someone that understands the statistics, the cell biology, and the immunology in the matter. I mean literally down to the signaling pathways. JK I DON’T WANT TO THINK.
Ah just delete my last post. I just want to read the articles and not be involved!
My son had a horrible reaction to the P whooping cough vaccine as an infant. Besides the high fever, he screamed for hours in excruciating pain like he was being tortured. I told his doctor and he tried to argue and to give it again, but I said it was really bad, and I don’t want him to get that shot again. He agreed if there was an out of the ordinary reaction he shouldn’t have it. That vaccine scares me and I don’t trust all these vaccines 100 percent or the flu shot. So sorry about your niece, how tragic.
Unfortunately, my sister’s doctor convinced her to go ahead with the second shot. And that led to the largest out of court settlement by the drug company at the time.
These days, there is some sort of pool that drug companies pay into for Vaccine Damages and it severely limits the damages to the drug companies. You have no idea how lucky you are that your doctor agreed to withhold future doses.
Oh my gosh! Yes, I had no idea of the danger, just like your sister. If the doctor had not given in, I would have been talked into it too. He did try and got a bit mad at me, but when I said again about the extreme pain and screaming like he was being cooked alive, I think he got scard of liability.
Practicing 21 years means shit. Most in the medical field don’t look outside the box.
That’s incredibly rude for you to say about a stranger who’s chosen to be in the medical profession to help save lives. You need to find a mirror and explore why you thought that comment was necessary. Gross.
That’s a completely ignorant comment. There’s a reason you go to a doctor, because he’s an expert in medicine. But you keep on googling web MD instead of trusting a medical professional.
Adam seems like a nice guy. Reza not so much. And as a daddy? Yikessss
Adam really deserves so much better than Reza
Mike calling his mother all the time is weird. Jessica never had a chance. Talk about a mama’s boy.
MJ with mom next door has to be for a storyline.
So happy for Asa.
GG, who cares.
TT why do you not post comments from people who care? You are really an ugly person.
You do realize that all first comments are moderated. I just put your other one through before seeing this crap. I sometimes have to take a shit, or a shower, or cook, or feed my dog, or let my dog out to pee or wash dishes, or take out the trash,or take a phone call, or fix a technical issue or recap a couple of shows in a row, or respond to emails, or publicize posts on social media, or answer emails, or grab a bite to eat or Speak to a source, or correct an error in a post… or any number of other things. I have done almost all of those things in the hour since you made your first post.
You first post WAS STUPID AS SHIT. And yet I posted it anyway as a learning tool for other idiots reading here. Running back her twenty minutes after your first post and trying another user name just proves what a dumb cunt you are.
No windex for you.
Why do all these guys shave their chests bare for filming?? Shervin is a lot hairier on Snapchat and (imho) it looks way better.
Vaccines prevent diseases. Period. Not here for the anti vaxxers bs.
Well then you better take a mother fucking hike.
Because not all vaccines are bad. But you have not idea how untested others are. Especially for pregnant women.
http://kellybroganmd.com/rejecting-flu-vaccine-in-pregnancy/
Anti-vaxxers are similar to climate change skeptics. Always people going the wrong way in a one way lane. Vaccines are responsible for improved mortality esp. In infants since the 70s. FACTS
Very few people are “anti vaccines” but many people question the number of vaccines US babies are given, the spacing between them, and the side effects that are not discussed with parents prior to the vaccination.
Very few people doubt that the earth’s climate is changing, but many people doubt the extent to which it is a man made problem and the extent to which human efforts to counter the changing climate have any significant impact. I’ve been paying close attention since it was called “global warming” and the primary causes were said to be cow farts and aerosol cans. That is not hyperbole. That is what the government was actually stating. They are now coming around to the idea that the sheer number of humans on the earth contribute to climate change because human respiration produces carbon dioxide.
Please who scream about ANTI-VAXXERS! And CLIMATE CHANGE DOUBTERS! are people who buy into everything they are told by the government and do not consider that it is more than a black and white issue.
Also, writing FACTS! At the end of your opinion does not make it so.
I LOVE Asa, she’s a nice person with a good family. Who cares is she tries to sell her products?!? All the Housewives do it! I bought one of her Kaftans and I wear it every where . Everyone else on the show is despicable, except for Tommy and Adam and they could both do better in my opinion. Reza and MJ are scum. But yet I still watch the show …. lol
I choose NOT to take a flu shot every year. My last doctor was a giant cunt about it.
THE SHOT IS DIFFERENT EVERY YEAR BASED ON THE PREVIOUS SEASON. Therefore it is untested and unsafe.
You can shoot that shit up all day, but you won’t find me doing in.
Watch the vaccine ads for HPV, Shingle, Hep C or B or Whatever…. THEY AR ALL FEAR BASED ADS. WITH ZERO MENTION OF SIDE EFFECTS. WHY IS THAT?
I agree with you 100 percent, TT. As you may remember, I have a lot of children over a wide age range and I cannot tell you how pressured I was during all but my last pregnancy to get vaccines while pregnant (I said no about a dozen times each pregnancy and stuck to it. I had a midwife last go around that I told early on that there would be no vaccine talk, period and she didn’t bring it up again). Here’s an interesting fact people often don’t take into account about vaccines being pushed on pregnant women – NO MEDICATION OR VACCINE IS EVER TESTED ON PREGNANT WOMEN IN DRUG TRIALS. Why? It’s deemed unethical. Therefore, there are not studies of the effects of ANY of these vaccines on pregnant women or their children while in utero BEFORE they try forcing expectant mothers to have any of this. In fact, I haven’t even seen any cohesive data or studies succinctly tracking the long term health or possible side effects of children whose mothers did take the vaccines. I researched the issue and chose to have a whooping cough booster (as did my husband) when our 4th child was 3 weeks old. NOT while I was pregnant with her. I’ve never had a flu shot and only caught the traditional flu once in the last 5 years. My husband has a job where he is required to get a mandatory flu shot, and he’s ended up catching the flu every damn year for probably the last decade despite that. Also, those HPV vaccine commercials drive me nuts, too, TT. They are clearly intended to scare the shit out of parents, which is SHADY. Has anyone yet tracked long term side effects of giving kids this particular vaccine? If they have, I haven’t seen it yet. When my youngest was a newborn I had her in for a routine well check and our regular pediatrician was out with a family emergency and we got stuck with another doctor I’d never seen before. She swooped in and started telling me I HAD to agree to my baby getting this list of voluntary vaccines. I looked at the list and pulled out my phone to look up some information and this doctor LOST IT and started saying, “What are you doing? I’m telling you that you need to get these…what else do you need to know?” I told her I like to be thoroughly informed when making decisions and she better dial it back down. I pulled up a whole series of articles in medical journals from Europe where they’d noted that one of these particular vaccines she was pushing had been recalled and reformulated so many times due to bad side effects, that they’d scrapped the whole thing over there and the newest version was now only available (at that point) in the US. I showed these to that doctor right there and she said, “That’s not even about THIS country…now sign the consent so we can administer these.” I still refused ALL of the voluntary vaccines and she got REALLY angry with me and said she was going to write a note in my daughter’s chart that I’d refused the vaccines even though I was told doing so could result in DEATH. For fuck’s sake, she NEVER said that before that moment and we left. Talk about nothing but scare tactics! I filed a complaint against her. We even moved to a different pediatrician practice after that. Now, I’ve chosen to have my kids vaccinated for things where my husband and I have decided after research that (to our minds) the formula had been vetted and tested, the disease they are preventing outweighs the risks and we worked out a vaccination schedule with their doctors that were more evenly spaced (instead of having them all administered at once) so we could keep an eye on if they had a reaction to any specific inoculation. The general public often has no idea how VESTED pharma companies are in getting medications, treatments and vaccines out there FAST and making revenue off of them and how OFTEN they get recalled and “reformulated” only AFTER people had bad experiences with them. I am not AT ALL advocating against the practice of vaccinating per se, I’m just saying you have to really do some research and take some time to sort the info on them out and be really guarded about when drug companies are trying to terrify you into taking something.
Oh, and for the commenter above who said people agreeing to less vaccines would cause everyone to die of bubonic plague, there’s no vaccine for any strains of plague. Never has been. However, your mention of that while we were discussing vaccination effects was a perfect example of a scare tactic.
Good for you! That is good parenting right there! After reading some of the things big Pharma has been involved in I don’t trust that they aren’t giving me a shot that will make me sick so I will need more shots. If we’re all healthy they’re not making money.
I’m really upset with myself. I was so careful with all the vaccines when my son was a baby/small child. My doctor pushed things on me, tried to make me feel stupid for doing things differently and I didn’t cave to his pressure. I read about HPV and the shots but obviously not enough-there was a lot of pressure at his school and the doctors office and I thought it would be ok. I was worried about making a mistake that would affect him when he was in High School or something-I don’t know what I was thinking.I think I was just afraid.
He’s 13 and I got him that damn flu shot ONE time under pressure and he got the only case of the flu he’s ever had. It’s mandatory in NJ that kids get the flu shot or they’re not allowed in school; I tell them we won’t get it for Religious reasons and they leave me alone (it’s the first excuse that occurred to me years ago). I wish I had read more about HPV and the shot. I hope he’ll be ok. He’s 5’9 but still my baby.
Slice, DON’T beat yourself up, please. All of us can only make a decision based on what we think is best in that moment. It doesn’t make your choice wrong. And of course he’s still your baby and always will be. My oldest dauughter is now an inch taller than I am and I think of her as my LITTLE girl.
I had the worst case of flu the only year I took a flu shot. I was pressured by doctors because my daughter was pregnant and my grandson was going to need open heart surgery as soon as he was born. The doctors wanted everyone that would have contact with him to have a flu shot. I have never had another flu shot after that experience. You are right Tamara we can so easily be pressured/shamed into being vaccinated.
TT I have no facts or stats to prove my point but I can tell you that in all my 65 years I’ve never had a flu shot. I am allergic to an ingredient in it and was told many years ago not to take it. I also did not take it during or after my pregnancy. I am for the most part a healthy well rounded individual and the common cold is something I get maybe once every two years. When it’s all said and done a person has the right to decide for him/herself if vaccinations are right for them. To that end, this is your blog and you alone have right to post, delete, or even condemn to the WLS. In other words, this is your world squirrel, we’re just here gathering nuts.?
I am blocking idiots who saw that vaccines are great and perfectly safe! It’s not their fault they don’t know that vaccines have side effects and new vaccines are reformulated AFTER they are rolled out to the public based on side effects they find out about one a large group of people takes them. I am carefully watching the shingles vaccine right now. Both of my siblings have had it and I am terrified I may contract it and also terrified of the shot. So I am keeping a close eye on the side effects on this relatively new vaccine. It is VERY interesting to me that the TV ads for medicines have to list all the possible side effects but the vaccine ads not only use fear based ads but do not have to list any side effects whatsoever.
Can I ask how you know you are allergic to something in the flu shot?
TT I had a severe reaction to Thimeriosol which was prescribed as an eye drop for an optical condition. It was a horrible and painful reaction that I’ll never forget. The doctor at that time warned me about the flu shot containing this substance and said I should never take it. I’m told that this ingredient had been reduced as a precautionary measure in the flu vaccine however that’s not a chance I’m willing to take. I’m also like you watching that shingles vaccine. Haven’t had it yet and it’s doubtful I ever will.
CDC recommends Shingles at age 60.Two of my older siblings had shingle right around that time. So I have a ways to go before it’s time for me to get the shot. The shot is ten years old now, but it is unclear how much data has been taken on side effects. It seems to be a fairly safe shot if your immune system is not compromised. However, half the people who take the vaccine still get shingles. So that seems like the same 50/50 shot we all have. The biggest benefit I see is that those who take the shot have milder symptoms supposedly than the general population, and the symptoms of shingles can be excruciatingly painful. As of now I am thinking of rolling the dice on the vaccine a bit early in my late 50s if circumstances remain the same at that time.
Did anyone else recognize GG’s friend Tara? She was a nightmare on some other newlywed show.
I thought she looked familiar but just couldn’t place where I’d seen her.
YASSS!!! That’s where I recognize her from!! She was on Newlyweds, and had cheated in a marriage with the guy she married on that show. And was a high maintenance slore lord, spoiled rotten B!!!
Yes! I wonder if they are still married. She also liked threesomes.
I wondered also and I looked up her insta and she wrote in a post on 3.18 that they are over.
So excited for the new cast member. New blood is definitely needed. Asa looks amazing pregnant, and I can’t wait to follow her as she grows and gives birth to her son. I like Tommy. He is good for MJ, protective of her feelings. I hope she mellows a bit. How can anyone lose weight drinking like a fish? If it is possible, I want to know how!
Sorry for the long rant above, I forgot to comment that I thought Asa looked radiant and so, so happy. I knew MJ was going to have a slow burn ultimately ending in her getting drunk and/or going apeshit after hearing the good news (I was right). I can’t believe Sherv wants us to buy this Australian Girlfiriend baloney.
I’m excited for Asa. It’s a shame MJ is can’t give Asa even a second and I understand why Asa waited 5 months to tell them, especially MJ.
I like Tommy, he is the comic relief of this show. He must really love MJ to even be with her let alone agree to live in Vida’s building!
GG’s therapy session could have definitely doubled as a scene in a horror movie.
I’m excited to see the new girl, next week, this show needs some new blood.
Thank you TT for your refusal to recap the bleaching scene, I’m so sick of that crap (pun intended).
I can’t watch this show because the majority of the cast are ass clowns. The only one I can tolerate is Asa but even her Persian lessons get old after a while.
I have never had a flu shot and I never get sick. I get harrassed every year to get one and I always say ‘fuck no’!
I’m so glad this show is back on. Although I hope it isn’t an “MJ is drinking too much” season like the other ones have been for GG. I want drama, not AA. On WWHL, MJ said she owns 4 units in that building so I see why she moved there even if it is for a storyline with Vida upstairs.
MJ has to have some story line and the moving into the complex with VIda is part of it.
MJ appeared so over served on WWHL last night, glad she had Mike there. He saved her most of the time!
Doubt if they will reappear on WWHL soon. She was constantly readjusting herself in that dress! Why not wear a dress more appropriate and not have to keep checking everything all the time!
Sad..
Great season opener…better than expected. My only thought is that Shervin is so very gay and simply needs to come out.
I knew I recognized Destiny! Thank you.
Asa looks great and is obviously very happy
Although I see nothing wrong with family/close friends asking about marriage & religion, coming from MJ after the way things ended last year plus them not talking since then, was inappropriate. MJ wants to all of a sudden pretend they still have that close relationship when ten minutes before she was saying Asa who? I don’t think do.
Saw some of this and had to turn it off. Wish Asa could get her own show with less self-absorbed, entitled bitches. Best to Asa for a healthy pregnancy and child.
I couldn’t wait for this show to come on again. GG is still off the rails and that’s sad.
I’m so happy for Asa and Jermaine. I hope they are enjoying Sultan and their lives together. I’m not sure why everyone feels the need to add their two cents about a wedding. Let them live their lives and be happy without putting labels on things.
My heart goes out to MJ while her father is going through his illness. She has lost weight, but she’s still a hot, drunk mess. I’m not too sure about Tommy. He seems to go from zero to 100 where Vida is concerned, which puts MJ in the middle.
Reza is always comical.
Mike seems to be getting it together. I season this season he finds happiness.
I am glad GG was not in much of the show. She is so negative and messed up. Reza and MJ can be so despicable. Glad Asa is happy and I do not blame her for waiting for filming to tell the cast. I kinda doubt she even sees these people during breaks in filming. I don’t think any of them care about much but themselves. Adam could do so much better than Reza. Sherv seems to be the only halfway decent person besides ASA on the show. If having a fake girlfriend is the worst thing he does, I will take it. He is good-looking and does not spend his time trash talking the rest of the cast. Anal bleaching just no, no, no. That poor woman doing the bleaching. If I saw those two coming in, I would have run out the back door.
I agree. Had enough of anything shown below the navel on any show! Tired of this! Think there are many other situations we would rather see these people experiencing!
GG and her Yoga is just for the show. I doubt if she has changed much. Reza and Adam at the tennis court… was a joke.
At Sherv’s BRO-B-Q all I could see where high power lines in the background.
Hope it gets better.
I have to say – and yes I think MJ can be a spiteful jealous mess sometimes – but after watching WWHL and learning about how Asa asked MJ for her fertility doctor’s information & asked her a bunch of questions about the procedures she (MJ) was undergoing, it really helped put into perspective some of MJ’s reaction. I also understand both sides of the coin about what Asa does or doesn’t share on the show. I can understand Asa wanting to keep some things in her life private, but I can also understand the other cast members getting frustrated if they are putting everything out there…
You can’t fault Asa for playing the game better than her castmates.
Agreed. The others don’t have to be as “open” either they have simply chosen to do anything for the camera time.
But you also can’t get mad at MJ for calling her out on it.
But you also can’t getI’ve got to start by saying I love Asa. I think she’s the only Shah I follow on Twitter.
HOWEVER, I FEEL for MJ… and honestly, Reza and Asa did her a disservice by announcing it to her in a group, and then Adam pushing her to hug her? And “touch it!”? Now reading on here that Asa asked her about her fertility doctor? I also think the “you are next” statement was more insensitive than any of MJ’s attempts to make conversation.
Face it – Asa has everything. Start a business? Her parents are: Oh Asa my brilliant one, how can we help you! They are also healthy.
Vida – WHY HAVEN’T YOU MOVED THESE BOXES? WHERE AM I GOING TO PUT MY GLASS OF WATER? while the parent that cares is in hospital and MJ is the sole caretaker.
Then you bitch that she didn’t say goodbye? THIS WAS NOT YOUR PARTY WHY DOES SHE NEED TO SAY GOODBYE?!?!
MJ is a hot mess – but she’s a sensitive hot mess.
I appreciate that Mike seems to be aware of that.
On a side note – I was laughing hard at the waxing and bleaching scene. Honestly, I could watch a road trip show of those two. mad at MJ for calling her out on it.
You make some good points. Especially the point about MJ sharing all of her Dr info with Asa and then Asa not sharing with MJ that she was actively trying to get pregnant. So for MJ to receive the news about Asa’s pregnancy now and especially in a group setting that would suck.
MJ can be so vicious it’s easy to forget that she is also sensitive.
Yah, I’m afraid Asa is again my favorite cast member. I completely endorse her decision not to get any
vaccines while pregnant. Asa is the only one on that show that has the innate dignity that the Persians are known for. The rest of the people, especially Reza and MJ, are just uncouth fools. They are also getting a little long in the tooth to be playing carefree “youngsters”. And, some of their expose all activities I can do without. Most of the viewers couldn’t care less about how they take care of their privates.
Hi TT, looooooong time reader, first time poster. First, thanks for all the reliable tea. Immunity “should or shouldn’t” debates brings out the worst in people, including me. That phucking commercial “Mom, Dad did you know?” takes me to a place of rage I had no clue a commercial could take me to. I cry from the Super Bowl Kleidsdale horses commercials, but never rage. My daughter was already sexually active when this vaccine became available. She brought it to my attention immediately, I started talking about condoms when she was 10 & I wish I had a way to thank Magic Johnson for the platform. Sorry, I digress. I had already told my daughter true monogamy only comes when you’re married (sans infidelity). Dating some one & parting ways in a year does not count as monogamy. If she wanted to be sexually active & didn’t want to catch anything she had her facts. I told her that IMO there hasn’t been enough time to know how this vaccine will affect her when she decides to have a child, will it impact her ability to conceive, carry a baby to term & if it will have any impact of the babies development. Then I told her to goggle Thalidomide. So I told her yes I know about the vaccine but the onus is on her to keep herself safe with or without the vaccine. Don’t you dare visit that guilt on my ass when it’s her legs that are at 10&2. I taught her all she needs to keep herself safe, that was my job. I was very young & very alone when I was pregnant with her. When offered the vaccines I was horrified & asked questions that had no answer. I told my OB my days of rolling dice against a wall were long over, to roll the dice with my child’s development eliminated any conflict. It was 1986 & I saw a video of a pregnant monkey that was given alcohol. The walls of the imbilacal cord collapse & fetal alcohol syndrome came to light. My mother was told to have a glass or 3 of red wine every night. Shit changes & evolves in the medical field everyday, time is the true test. My point is that after seeing that video it scared the hell out of me about possible exposure to her & her development & passed on the vaccine. As clueless as I was I am glad I declined. Thanks for letting me vent. I am a live & let live type of person so I have no opinion on the choices other people make. It’s just that dam commercial & validation of my rage that prompted me to post. P.S. I love the way you go off on people & read them to my husband when you are on fire. Never change!
It was very disturbing to see MJ’s and Mike’s reaction to Asa’s pregnancy on Watch What Happens Live. They both kept going on about how Asa lied and hid her pregnancy. OMG – a baby is coming into the world. MJ and Mike should be happy for her.
She is a smart woman passing on the vaccines!!!
