I keep forgetting this is a Friday show now. Friday nights are usually my weekend. Also, I just want to spit in Reza and Adam’s stupid face. So let’s see what happens on tonight’s Shahs Recap. I think this is the first season I have ever loved Mike Shouhed this much since season one when I just thought he was hot.In this scene, no one is hot. Mike has a dad bod.
That is not my business and I would SOOOO appreciate if all the new people would read the commenting rules. We are going through A LOT right now but that doesn’t change the rules. Please do not shame other people’s looks in comments. But he does have man titties. Also, what is that nipple thing on Destiney’s nipples? I am not a Destiney fan. She does not fit in with these people who have known each other for years. And no one believes any of her storyline. And by no one, I mean me.
Mama Vida
Oh. Vida is retiring as a cosmologist? Make up person? I need her in my life if I ever have the occasion to leave the house again. I REALLY need to go restock. I have been self quarantining for almost a month now. My lovely neighbors have been so great in offering to shop for me. But I need like all the Black Box Wine I can carry, some Fosters Oil Cans, an insanely expensive amount of Kombucha. Some Ben and Jerry’s Pistachio, Pistachio… I am fine on toilet paper. Unlike the rest of the world apparently I only shit once a day. I mean I just do not get it. How much toilet paper do you need for a tinkle?

Anyway, back to the recap, sorry. Mike had some sort of an accident on one of those.. I don’t know what they are called. I am drinking. Banjo is losing his damn mind in the back yard because someone is cutting their grass. Frankly, he needs some drama in his life. Anyway, Reza and Adam show up to film after two days in Hawaii because they would lose their job if they didn’t.
Reza Is a Moron
Mike and Nema and Sherv try to talk sense to Reza. Of course that does not work. Reza storms off. This is a long way from anything normal. This is some sort of ad that has nothing to do with anything. It’s some sort of bizarre ad that has nothing to do with anything.
Then we get a scene with Reza, Destiney and Golnesa. I do not care. Reza just spouts and spouts about his issues.
But then GG lets Reza and Destiney know she had a miscarriage. GG says she left the pool party because she was pregnant. I am so sorry for her. And then then the previews come and I hate all these people.
EVERYONE IS VIDA
I don’t care. Honestly, I think I am just angry at the idiot in the white house. If you are not afraid, I AM TELLING NO ONE IS FLYING THE PLANE. WAKE THE FUCK UP! I would be horrifed if people dressed like me and acted up. Destiney is the liar. I wish Reza would just die. YOU ARE NOT THE VICTIM HERE, REZA.
Reza has been slimy since day one, and perhaps that is why he gets away with being a horrible human being. I am hoping that he gets the season long edit he deserves.
Trump suggesting he may quarantine those of us in the NY metro area is ridiculous. Mostly everyone has left dumb ass. And more are doing so now that you gave us that warning…. We’re waiting it out, even though I could park my ass in the woods with coyotes.
I’m with you that I hope Reza FINALLY gets the edit he deserves. As for Trump, I’m in Central NY and the numbers keep rising. He walked back his quarantine foolishness.
I agree. Reza isn’t brutally honest like he claims to be, he’s downright mean and cruel. And to get back at people he divulges secrets in order to hurt his friends. It’s horrible how he always justifies being horrible to people.
There seems to be a bigger story to this. Why didn’t any of them visit MJ in the hospital. Even if they are not close friends when not filming, wouldn’t visiting her in the hospital be good PR?
The big blow up about info of Adam’s infidelity came later, correct? It seems like there was a rift that happened even before filming started.
She texted don’t come.
This whole story is ridiculous. MJ is guilty, as is Reza, Adam and Destiney. They need to either make up or break up. Frankly, MJ would be better off without Reza.
Vida has amazing skin. I want amazing skin. I bet I’d have to give up red wine and donuts. Fuck it.
I’m with you! Fuck it! I want nice skin. There a lot of nice things I want right now, I want “it all! The lentil (love the real deal legume) but lentiling hit the skids weeks ago?, sorry if I’m gonna die? I’m fricking going to die with carbs in my bloodstream and maybe alcohol, and maybe lentils, that sounds kinda good right now, maybe I’ll stick some in the crock pot tomorrow night, I have some ham…hmmm, too tired tonight. Another switch from days to nights now days until Tue.
We are still Covid19 free in our building. I refuse to discuss the scary stuff, we’re taking every day as it comes and doing our best
Luv you all!
Oooh now you have me wanting a good lentil soup kinda thing… maybe we can all have a recipe swap type of thing while we’re all trapped?
I’m making chicken fajitas tonight. My instacart shopper actually got me cilantro, tomatoes, onions, bell peppers and Corn shells. Gosh, I’m excited. I made a butter pecan cake yesterday. Yeah, my skin isn’t going to be Vida like anytime soon!
What? So jealous.
Before our new way of life I worked and instashopped.
But they stopped taking orders here at least 6 weeks ago, probably more. I wish my hermit self could still use mine.
Imma need that butter pecan cake recipe plz
MJ had nothing to do with the spreading the Adam/Reza information (which aren’t just false rumors, BTW). She was in the ICU. Ali Ashouri has gone on numerous websites and done interviews explaining that Destiney is the messy one who is lying and had a hand in all of this, but then later backed down because she was afraid she’d pissed Reza off.
Ok I have watched Shahs since episode one but I am so confused as to said what with this whole Ali thing!!!
So Destiny claims Ali told her it was all MJ but yet MJ and Ali are sitting together with Destiney at Vida’s party.
I get that Adam really did send those texts and MJ was aware of them – but Mike says Adam sent inappropriate texts to him too.
And then Destiney tried pin it on MJ as the mastermind but according to the timeline MJ was in the hospital trying not to die.
Can someone please explain?
I think Reza got his hair dye in a knot over the ALi thing because the accusation of sexual harassment. Not because of the photos or texts o anything else -but because it was getting out there that his husband sexually harasses people: it’s not the sort of thing you want people to be gossiping about in given the whole MeToo world.
What I don’t understand is the power Reza has on this show- he has made some ugly ugly comments about MJ (being a convicted felon and pill junkie ) and about Mike being a hopeless business man and yet those two kiss an make up with him in time for the next season. Re his marriage to Adam – Tommy (who calls Adam the perverted hill billy) had some interesting tea to spill about that on his IG.
Anyway, if all this ugliness ends up in a kiss and make up event then really all of the players are scamming the public
He said MJ is a felon? What crime did she commit?
The short version is Mercedeh had a job in a bank when she was 18 or 19 and was threatened into doing something by some bad people. They were threatening her family. Everyone got arrested and it was eventually resolved.
Bingo! What you said is the first thing that has made sense about Reza lashing out. The words “sexual harassment” resonate to “lawsuit” and Reza and his money shall not be parted. And Ali SEEMS — I understand we don’t “know” him as much as the others — like an opportunist waiting for a cash windfall whether through camera time (piggybacking on camera who’re Destiney) or a #metoo lawsuit.
Well I don’t know about all that… but Ali has been lurking in the shadows of this show for many seasons. I don’t think he is really that close to anyone, and somehow got his moment this season.
I had the same issue. For me it’s as follows:
Adam sends Ali a lot of inappropriate texts (Adam calls them sexual jokes when Reza asks him about it on screen). Ali asks Adam to stop and Adam says they’re just jokes (again, on screen while discussing with Reza).
Ali tells MJ that Adam has been sending him these texts even after he asked him to stop. MJ said that’s sexual harassment, you really need to tell Reza.
Ali tells Reza about the texts.
Reza asks Adam about the texts, and then decides that MJ feeling like her good friend of 30 years needs to know what his husband is doing, is worse than what Adam is doing. I think the above posted theory of Reza trying to deflect because of the nature of the issue and current times is a great one that I had not considered until today.
Reza needs to check his bitch. He the one that is texting other men sexual postures. Point blank new paragraph.
This makes sense to me. Reza’s anger towards MJ is misdirected and he should be mad at Adam.
Ali did an interview with Heather McDonald that’s on YouTube. I recommend watching it for the full story.
In summary, Ali did what he did not only for some screentime but because he dislikes Reza who is apparently quite nasty when the cameras aren’t rolling (I’m shocked!) Reza and Adam had been slut-shaming Ali for a while and he was incensed, knowing what he did about their marriage. Moreover, Adam was Ali’s first friend and introduction to the group. Adam grew jealous that Ali had started to befriend and hang with the others in lieu of spending time with him. Then, things really soured when Ali stopped Adam from popping a bottle of champagne open on MJ while she was passed out in Las Vegas during her bachelorette trip. Adam had planned the moment carefully in hopes of having a great moment on camera that went viral or some such nonsense
Anyone else find Destiney’s attempt at false eyelashes a little creepy?
Spider legs. Ugh!
I am trying to watch this in the not quite as drunk light of day and I am reading this as I am watching GG’s GIANT EYELASHES IN THE CAR.
So confused on timeline. Can anyone explain?
Ali looked terrified when Destiny showed up….
Adam constantly has a look on his face that my Simon used to get when he puked in the corner. I NEVER EVER got mad at him (cats puke. If you are a cat person, you should just deal), but he always looked guilty as fuck and I’d have to console him.
Reza has all the sympathy for GG… as he should… but I got so fucking pissed when he talked about how all the drama was going on when they should have been focused on her. THAT IS WHAT HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN SAYING ABOUT MJ. With all respect to GG, she didn’t come near death. She didn’t lose her ability to bear more children. She wasn’t put on a ventilator.
I agree with you about Reza!! I was screaming at my tv saying the exact same thing you said!!
The real troublemaker in this whole mess is Adam, who was cheating/sending inappropriate texts–but yet now all the drama is about who said what, who told what, blah, blah. It’s Dorit puppygate all over again. Now Reza is directing all his anger at MJ, when he should be dealing with Adam, who is just trying to stay quiet and slip away. Reza is so selfish and on his high horse. I can’t stand him.
That none of them were checking in with MJ when she had the baby, sending her good wishes, etc, is shocking. Even if she had said they shouldn’t come in person, they should have been texting her, sending her cards and flowers, etc. It is odd they weren’t.
Mike actually sounded calm and reasonable in this episode.
You are right, his anger should be with
first Adam
second Ali
Third Destiney
Not really sure why it’s MJ. Because Ali told her about it?
It’s too bad MJ was not calmer at the pool party confrontation. All the back and forth shouting made her come across guilty of something.
Also, I’m not sure why GG is mad at MJ. It’s all confusing
Mike. Maybe his newest Kim Kardashian is good for him. He was level headed in this instance.
The bus part Tamara mentions is a Bravo Insider bit on the Bravo website. Didn’t make it into the show because it’s too real, IMHO, of what’s going on. Courtesy of New Mike. As Mike tells the camera, Reza should be focusing his anger/frustration at ADAM, not MJ. As Reza screams at and about everyone else, Adam leans his head against the window — RADIOSILENT, even as Reza storms off the bus. I wish Bravo HAD put it in, because Mike asks what we ALL want to know. Everything else is misdirected aggression BULLSHITE! The only one who directed his anger where it belongs is Tommy. Too bad the plants took the brunt of it instead of Reza.
The boys as Vida was funny. Nema is WAY into the drag shite.
The bus scene with Mike telling Reza that he should be mad at Adam not MJ did make it into the episode. It was not only a Bravo Insider clip. Kudos to Mike, Sherv and Nema for trying to be level headed throughout this situation.
First, I realize this is rather shallow in light of what’s going on in our world. BUT, Tamara, do you think there’s any way possible you could find out Vida’s skin care routine? Or what products she uses. I’m sure I couldn’t afford most of them anyway, but OMG she looks amazing!!
I think they have told us what line she worked for. I want to say Dior. But I don’t know.
Estee lauder
Thank you. I think you are correct.
Also, I have worn Estee Lauder Youth Dew since I was old enough to wear perfume. WHICH is a long time. I mentioned this once on my site, and got all kinds of shit for it. There is still a bottle with a bit left in this room. It was an OLD LADY perfume when my mamaw wore it, and when my mother wore it. But when I was in High School and College… men really like it. IJS… It really doesn’t matter now. I will be wearing it until the day I die.
Good on you. I have been wearing Estee Lauder aYouth Dew for years. I just love it .
I used to like Destiney on the couch thing she did (one of the shows where they show people watching a show and making funny comments) . I thought she did it with her twin? I must be confused because I’d think we’d have seen her twin on Shahs.
But I can’t stand her on this show. She thinks it’s all about her and she’s soo famous.
I used to like Reza, he was funny but now he’s just hateful and so whiney. He should live his life and stop with the nonsense. I also dislike Adam. He’s so odd. Acts like a doormat, yet is gross and out of line.
The show seems to have run its course. It’s not what it used to be, nothing really funny about it anymore IMO.
I used to like Destiney on People’s Couch too, but no more. So many Bravo shows, whether this one or any Housewives franchise, just turn into Watching Friendships Implode. That’s not fun viewing. People always talk about needing storyline and drama–but I would just prefer fun (not drunken) shenanigans in lovely homes and travel to picturesque locales. Show us glamour, fashion, travel–we don’t need “storyline” when that is just a euphemism for friendships being ruined.
Adam is the person Zero in this whole Reza/MJ/Destiney issue. He started this by sending texts that are inappropriate for a married man to other people. There wouldn’t be anything to argue about if Adam’s actions hadn’t started this whole crap show. Destiney I am still sick of. Reza should be furious with Adam and Destiney, not everyone else.
MJ’s baby is quite adorable, I love the Vida party and blonde wigs.
When will these people learn? They get in an argument and instead of trying to hash it out they hit below the belt and use information they have shared in confidence from years ago as ammo. I guess they do this
to embarrass, tear down and hurt each other. I also think it’s deflection. If a friend betrayed me like that and blabbed something personal I told them, I would never open up to them again. Even if MJ or any of them spoke about Adam and Reza’s marriage issues it’s not breaking news. I believe a few seasons ago at the reunion and on the show both Adam and Reza spoke about Adam’s inappropriate behavior and Reza’s possible infidelity.
It was THE LAST SEASON REUNION. Reza was talking about divorcing Adam on NATIONAL TV! This is not some state secret that MJ blabbed.
Also am I the only one who screams HEY! GET LAID GET FUCKED! When the RHONY commercial plays? I guess you haVe to be a certain age for that.
I’ve not heard that commercial! Are they really playing Billy Idol????
Me! I do the whole Billy Idol thing when I see the promo!! So happy you mentioned that!!
You are not alone. 🙂
Right there with you !
My Friday nights will now be reserved for Heidi and Tim’s new show. I thought the first two episodes were fantastic! I’ll watch this garbage on the app when I can’t find anything else.
This feud is really fucked up. Shame on Mercedeh for spreading the truth about her friend knowing how hurtful it would be and shame on Reza for being mad at her instead of his HUSBAND who’s indulging in bad behavior in the first place! Also, Destiny got caught trying to be the bone carrier’s bone carrier and now she looks like a liar.
Ever since Asa left, the entire cast has been extremely unlikable. Yuck!
Here is what I do not understand. Someone please explain. Adam and Reza appeared on TV last reunion and announced there was trouble in their marriage. Adam allegedly has a sense of humor and was texting a guy telling him he cheated on Reza by hooking up with another and hosting strip Jenga parties. Adam does not deny that he sent the text but they were just jokes. The recipient of the texts says he does not like the texts. They make him feel uncomfortable. Friends decide Reza should know. One friend tells him. Is it one of those Kim Richards Don’t talk about my shit on tv? And after the way Reza has sh*t on MJ every season she should have stopped talking to him 25 years ago. Adam is creepy. Reza treats all of them like garbage. He gets into their personal Lives and stirs it all up. He is more odious than Vick Gunvalson.
Does anyone else cringe every time Destiney works the name “Mare-ssss” into the conversation? Poser.
Hated when Golnesa called Vida a “perfume spitzer.” It’s called a real job GG. I”ve worn White Linen since it came out. Still get compliments! I warned both daughters if they had people impersonate me at my retirement party, several foundations will be very happy with my bestowments.
There are lots of reasons to dislike Destiney. But properly pronouncing Mercedeh’s name is not one.
Everything about destiny makes me cringe.
Not the pronunciation, more the insinuation of closeness is what I meant. Like they are the 30 year besties.
Is it me or does Reza pick a fight with a different person each season? Seems like he has to have his dramatic moment and then the tears flow and then they make up. Over and over again. Guess he thinks he won’t have a story if he doesn’t.
