Who is ready for another Shahs of Sunset recap? It already seems to me that this is going to be another blame everything on MJ season and gang up on her. Could they not just cut the woman who nearly died giving birth a break? No, no they cannot. And, Reza Farahan is the biggest asshole on the planet.
Reza and the gang are going on a mud run. Reza seems to think this will bring the group together. He tries to teach Golnesa how to run. She’s not interested. She is interested in throwing MJ under the bus. And, she is tossing Destiney and Ali under with her. But she starts off with MJ. Golensa says that Ali told her that when he complained to MJ about Adam she replied, “OMG, that is borderline sexual harassment.” This is true.
Playing Possum
Ordinarily, I would not even recap this scene where Destiny gets a flat tire. Also, I don’t know whether I should be impressed by her old vintage car, or make fun of her old broke down car. I don’t know anything about cars. As long as it gets me from here to there, I am good. However, Destiney’s reaction to the pregnant possum is so unexpected I just have to discuss it. I would have run like the wind. But not Destiney. She wants to be some sort of doula for a pregnant possum. I can’t! And production doesn’t even give her a heads up! Then a cute guy comes to rescue the possum.

The question about Destiney’s car is answered in a later scene where she goes to visit her car, Poison, at the mechanics. Apparently, it is a classic. Good to know.
I Can Do So Much Better Than You
Speaking of things that I shouldn’t bother to mention. We get another scene about Nema and his fake heterosexual relationships. Oh she is the fake relationship from Nema’s first season. At least they didn’t have to recast. I’m just playing along with this because I already pulled a photo.

Golnesa and her friend Yasmin go to some weird kind of herbal store. Not for that kind of herb. She wants something for fertility. I thought she took care of that last week by hunting for fucking fish under a full moon? Apparently that did not work, so we much try something else. She drinks some weird shit. We learn way to much about the thickness of her vagina. She tells us she had multiple abortions, or morning after pills or both during her misspent youth.
And now in her misspent adulthood, she’s struggling to get pregnant. Golnesa acts like her stopping pot after the implant is no big deal. I don’t believe her. Later we find out she is good to go for the egg implant.
Good Luck, And Don’t Fuck It Up!
The property that Mike is supposed to be developing has a unit with lots of furniture and crap left behind. He doesn’t even know how to handle this. I don’t believe that the tenets are even out. He could sell all of that stuff in a few hours on a Saturday. A dealer would come in and take it all and pay him. His dad shows up to show him plans for the electrical. Are we supposed to believe Mike knows how to read this? Reza really did have to oversee the renovation of Mike’s own house!

Mike’s dad, who is an electrical contractor with over 40 years of experience tries to caution him to get the right contractor. Mike tells us that he and his father are so similar that they butt heads. I am not seeing that. His father seems like a smarter, successful guy. Hopefully, Mike will listen to his dad.
Team Hoodrats!
Golnesa is too high to be of any help making the the team hoodrat t-shirts. Sara comes over but she is so terrified of dogs she has to be sure the dog is locked up. Oh I think Sara is the R Kelly girl. Golnesa and Reza think MJ is not reaching to him for some nefarious reason. How many times do I have to type that she nearly died and just brought home a baby! Did either of them go to check on her or take a gift? Did they call to see if she needs them to bring anything? Nope. MJ says that phone call was their last conversation if I recall correctly.

Destiney sent a kumquat tree of apology to Reza and Adam. Adam reads the card and points out she didn’t even apologize. Reza is very quick to write off his childhood friend, and his best friend of 30 years. I don’t have the time or the patience to list all the things Reza has done to MJ. It would take several days of typing. I guess it was Reza who sent her the nasty email saying he doesn’t trust her. But he says he is willing to coexist if she wants to come to the mud run. Destiney cries because Reza is the only person who truly has been there for her. She needs better friends.
When You Lay Down With Pigs…
Mike is the first one to drop out of the mud run. He is going but his back is hurting, Not enough to keep him from making inappropriate remarks to Adam about his alleged dalliances with other men. Then Nema arrives with his “friend” Bobby. It’s about time we meet Nema’s “friend.” Then Sara arrives and then Anita shows up. I think Anita is a girl I really liked in a very early season. If so, she is too good for this show.

Destiney arrives late and sad. While she tries to make up with Reza, the others get in the van. Sara complains about Destiney and her drama and tells Reza to hit her. I don’t even like Destiney and I hate Sara more already. Destiney tries to put all the blame on MJ. Reza says that means MJ set Destiney up. Boy, MJ was quite the multitasker from ICU. They hug it out and agree that it is all MJ’s fault.
You Get Up With Mud
Golnesa and GG don’t last ten feet until come up with a plan to just wait for everyone to run back by and they will fall back in with the group. The plan to cheat and pretend like they won the whole thing. Basically, they do nothing. This is a pretty serious obstacle course.
Of course Mike brings Jenga just to be a dick.
Next week, WE FINALLY GET MJ, TOMMY AND THE BABY. I wish they would give them the whole episode. Frankly, I wish they had the whole season. Golnesa gets an ultrasound. Spoiler Alert! Unfortunately, things don’t work out this time. Reza and Adam go to Vegas for his hair care line.
Just for those of you who leave and/or read comments…
Here is the tea on what went down with Asa and Adam straight from Asa, “Out of nowhere Adam started throwing passive aggressive shade and posting shady stuff on IG about me and J – it’s exactly the kind of catty vibes I don’t want in my life. Since having my son I literally have even less than zero tolerance for BS.”
I’m disappointed to learn about the real Adam. I really liked him and always felt bad for him because of the way Reza treated him.
Thank you for posting this. Asa is a gem. Blessings to her family and you.
This show is such a disappointment.
Thank I’m going with Reza The asshat is behind that crap
Thanks for the tea Tamara!
It’s been my experience that by and large people are the company they keep. Adam has been with Reza for a long time. I’m guessing he and Reza are more alike than what is portrayed on tv….
TG! I knew Adam was hiding his true colors. There is no one who can take that Crap from their spouse who doesn’t shovel it themselves. Welcome to TV Adam, we see you!
And on Asa’s broken relationship with Reza “It was great. But after my pregnancy and him not doikg what’s right with the whole bastard child evil stuff, vibes changed big time for me. Like in a real way.”
It’s interesting that Reza has a falling out with both his ”best friends” after they have babies and happy life partners.
I think Reza is the kind of narcissist that needs people in his life that mirror his life and if they dare change he cuts them out.
Asa was/is my very favorite one. I miss her. I thought Adam was a true friend — I guess not. HOW DID Nematode ever get cast on this show? And how much did he pay for those little pointy rodent teeth? Zzzzzzzzzzzz.
Tamara — I did NOT TYPE Nematode and I did not notice it until after it posted. Autofux strikes again!
I believe you.
lol I was going to yell at whoever then I saw it was you and ignored it. Because, Nematode could be his full name. /giggles
I liked Asa, she is 100% right to protect her family from toxic people and situations. MJ has found herself in the same type of situation as Asa. Maybe Reza doesn’t like it when his friends grow up, have serious SO and babies. Maybe when his friends settle into the phase of family life he is envious, feels left behind or some kind of emotional baggage related to a functional family unit he didn’t have growing up.
I don’t really get why Destiney is on this show.
I agree – it seems like the pregnant women get thrown to the curb.
I think Bravo brought Destiney on as a carryover from the People’s Couch. I think they’re trying to find more of Reza’s female childhood friends since Asa and MJ are too busy with their personal lives.
I remember when Asa and Reza ganged up on MJ but don’t remember why. Just that I felt sympathy for MJ and thought/think Asa and Reza aren’t friends to anyone. Reza has been making the rounds saying how much he loves MJ and hope they can move past this. I call BS.
Reza literally tried to drown MJ in the bathtub in Vegas. On CAMERA.
Thanks TT I wonder what Adam exactly said or did to Asa? That’s validation for my suspicions about him
Just very curious now-Is Mike qualified to do anything? What is his field exactly? Does he hold any kind of job other than being paid for the show? I think his parents have always financially supported him.
I believe his qualifications are immature, over-indulged assclown.
Reza and MJ were commenting back to fans on a post by Bravo on instagram today. It made Reza look really disgusting but it was like he thought he was making valid points. I have been sick of Reza since season one. I think Adam is very unhappy in his relationship and he is projecting but he refuses to admit it to himself.
I don’t agree with things Reza has done but seriously why do you act like MJ is some kind of saint? She’s done just as disgusting stuff to other people. So she had a difficult birth, that doesn’t erase all the stuff shes done in the past. Only thing I agree on is the new girl is horrible. Hopefully she’s gone after this season. Oh and Adam really is the one Reza should be mad at.
Thank you! So many blogs I’ve been reading are trying to make MJ look like a saint just bc she had a baby. I totally get that she almost died but I’m sorry that doesn’t negate that she’s also a terrible person. They all are.
Reza ruined this show. I watched about 15 min of last night’s episode and then read Tamara’s review of the premier thus season. I’m not watching it anymore. Reza literally sucks the oxygen out of everything with his nastiness
If life is a circle, then MJ is getting the hand she dealt to Asa.
I know that was harsh because I am actually team MJ.
Reza needed Shahs to be about him and he cannot compete with cute baby Shams ?
Yes, MJ was disgusting with her treatment of Asa. I don’t think she sees the parallels though. She seems to have no remorse for how things went down with Asa.
What a mish-mash of a show. There is too much going on. The way everyone is miked, it is hard to follow. And a lot of it, I just don’t care about.
Destiney, it’s a car. I get it, I do. I have a car I love. But you need to be ready for the day it falls apart. It will.
I appreciate GG’s honesty about her other pregnancies vs this one.
As for the others. Meh. Bring back Asa and MJ! And Tommy. I love Tommy.
had to rewind my dvr to doublecheck reza’s crazy comment claiming mj was making “chess moves” while on bed rest.
what a dbag.
i had a pregnancy where i went on bed rest due to medical complications and i also wound up delivering early in a traumatic way (albeit not as drastic as mj’s situation) and so my sympathy for mj is through the roof.
but it’s just so hard to fathom the level of narcissism that a person like reza must have to assume someone trying so hard to bring another human into the world and care for them after birth actually has energy left over to manipulate other people into trying to break up a friend’s marriage
it’s also super weird to me that reza even pretends to care this much when i thought we saw him on screen cheating on adam (making out with another guy) before they got married.
I loved Anita the first season. GG and MJ were so mean to her and Reza supported her until she stood up for herself. Then Reza turned. In fact, I was rewatching the first season and they were very nasty to Asa as well, Reza included. I always thought Asa was out there in a lot of ways but I loved her hustle and how she loved her family. I’m sad to hear that Adam turned on her. I knew it was only a matter of time for Reza to turn on Destiny. That’s been his pattern since the beginning. I don’t agree with the treatment of MJ and it certainly isn’t the time for her to get payback. But she and Reza really act the same. And Mike is pathetic. Seriously what does he do?? Maybe no one in his family trusts him because they’ve MET him. Love the recap and I love this forum. You all have no idea how you help me get through my day.
So, um, can anyone tell me why Destiney needs an assitant?
I was also wondering about that ? Sara irks me and I can’t look at her without picturing the blue women in Avatar same super wide set eyes.
The only good thing about this shit show was Destiny’s car. It’s a gorgeous beast and from what I could tell, she hasn’t made it anything but what it should be. Suicide doors are one of my weaknesses too. As much as Destiny drives me mad, I’ve gotta give her props for the vehicle. I’m a car geek in case y’all can’t tell. So many ppl restore old cars and give them all of the luxuries of new cars and I hate that! Get a new car if you want modern comforts. I know her Lincoln drives like a boat because we owned a ‘64 Impala, white with red interior, until Katrina washed it away. Her possum scene was totally off the wall too.
Agree. Great car. And I truly wish people would quit changing classics into moderns prior to selling.
The guys who “fixed” up my car installed a 2014 led stereo into a 1997. I need to commit to finding an old factory model radio to put in.
I have stopped watching this show and RHOA and depend entirely on TT’s recaps now. Thanks for taking one for the team TT.
I’m so happy to see that I’m not the only one that’s not feeling MJ. Yes, I feel bad about her delivery and complications. I’m happy Shams is here and he’s adorable.
But I can’t forget her horrible past behaviors. By now it’s clear how disgusted I am by how she did Asa and Soltan. But she was also mercilessly awful to Lilly. She was terrible to Anita by ridiculing her clothing and talking shit about her in her presence. Mike by openly gossiping about his troubled marriage at Asa’s party.
Adam & Asa by making fun of his bachelor party, banning Asa from Reza’s party and encouraging Reza’s bad behavior at his party. GG by telling her boyfriend that GG made out with Shayan, calling GG’s parents to tell on her behavior at the racetrack, embarass Gg by having Shalom’s ex-wife attend an event. I feel like there’s more but I think I made my point. MJ is not a good person. The timing sucks but I’m looking forward to her getting back some of the discomfort she’s caused the others.
Oh but she had a baby and almost died so all is forgiven apparently. She’s Reza’s longest friend for a reason. They are alike
