The bad news is, it’s time for another Shahs of Sunset Recap! The good news this is the last one until next season. Other good news is Destiney is on the bubble so this may be her last season. MAYBE. The other good news is Sara and her bizarre brother are one and done for this show. So let’s get through this because I have a million episodes of Guy’s Grocery games on my DVR and it’s really all I want to watch these days. Everything else is too heavy.
Okay, this is a problem. For some reason my DVR had two instances of this episode set to film AT THE SAME TIME. I need another show in the 9 pm slot so I deleted one iteration. BUT when I did that both deleted. So I just left it. Now, after letting the dog out, I planned to return five minutes behind on the DVR. And it’s not recording. I’m trying to get it to start recording but this maybe be very abbreviated. Le sigh.
Reza Won’t Stop Hurling Insults At MJ About His Issues
I come in with Reza screaming about how the show was great in the beginning. MJ points out the show was about her that season. True facts. That has always been the problem with MJ and Reza, they are both fighting each other to be the “star” of the season by any means necessary. Reza is up and out of his chair screaming at her. Adam looks embarrassed. MJ mock Reza for his poor hygiene (it’s been mentioned multiply times over the season he uses cologne as deodarant) I am already missing the Food Channel.

Suddenly, we move on to Adam and Reza who are trying to give the appearance that their relationship is great by holding each other’s hands like two scared kids about to go cliff jumping. Will Adam take any responsibility for his behavior? Will they admit they have an open relationship or are dual cheaters? The whole thing I don’t get about the storylines this season was how everyone pretended MJ and Ali talking about Reza and Adam’s situation was some big secret. It was all over the LAST reunion. They were barely speaking.
Adam Takes Responsibility For Naked Jenga (Sorta)
When Andy asks if they are in an open relationship, Adam says NO! and Reza is all like let me handle this. So he avoids the whole issue and says it is all MJ’s fault for spreading rumors about him in a bathhouse. MJ walks off again. I heard the bath house rumors and they were NOT from MJ. Again, why is he acting like the last reunion never happened?

Mike says it is up to Reza and Adam to decide if they want to admit to their open relationship and it is not MJ’s place. While that is true, it seems to be common knowledge in WeHo. Again Reza says that MJ was the only one who knew about…SOMETHING related to “naked Jenga” so when Destiney told them he immediately knew it came from her. So isn’t that him admitting it happened and blaming it on MJ? FINALLY, Adam says he is to blame for the whole thing because he sent inappropriate texts to Ali.
Everything That Happened Is Mercedeh’s Fault
Then, when Andy asks Reza about his physical assault on Ali, Reza blames that on Mercedeh as well. Apparently, everything wrong with his marriage is her fault. He knows this because his hair dresser told him so. She reminds the “self-entitled piece of shit” that she nearly died and was in a medically induced coma when all this happened. PLUS! She had been hospitalized for days before his confrontation with Ali and Reza NEVER came to see her. Only Shevin did.

GG and Destiney keep interrupting so Andy sends everyone off camera except MJ and Reza and Mike. Andy needs Mike to help mediate the situation. I’m bored with this. I’m going to step away as well. Banjo needs some encouragement to eat and his baked apple and carrots are done. The worst part of this part is a flashback to Season Two reunion when Reza eviscerated Mercedeh’s character, looks, and exposed a very private situation about her teenaged years. He has said things about her that should never be said, truth and lies. I’ve know things about MJ since before the season aired. I would never post. And HE is her best friend? They are beating a dead horse here.
Reza Has Never Been A Consistent Friend To MJ
Then there is a reel that is supposed to be a retrospective of this great friend. Right smack in the middle is the time that Reza TRIED TO DROWN MERCEDEH IN THE BATHTUB IN VEGAS! I tried to find a link to that recap. It was a terrifying episode. They both cry. Andy is really trying to get them back together. I don’t want Mercedeh back with Reza. Darth Vida come on camera to make a plea for them to make up. NOE! Reza is a POS. That said they will magically become besties again. Unless there is another new girl.

I spoke too fast. They are doing it over Facetime now. They chat a couple days about the reunion. I know that this friendship is real. But, it’s just super emotional. And with that, we shall see what transpires next season. I feel like Destiney will be out. And if they bring in another new female, Reza will try to make her his follower as well.
I am very confused as usual with this show. I adore MJ I cannot understand what she did to make Reza so mad what really happened?
Worse reunion show EVER!! I didn’t like how everybody got kicked off for Reza and MJ to work it out. It would of been nice if it could of ended with everyone. No closer with the group just Reza and MJ. Totally disappointed in this reunion.
I totally though everyone would come back together. I have a feeling they just got pissed about being told to fuck off. Nema was like. “Fine, I need to eat” and Golnesa was to high to return most likely and the rest of them don’t really matter… I mean who am I forgetting?
Oh, NOE. I just saw there will be a PART 3.
Just when we thought it was safe to turn on the TV.
Never mind. It’s Part 2 of Part 2. Without Nema, Destiney, GG and Adam. Le sigh.
Thanks for that heart attack! Not cool 😜
On a brighter note,Sham is adorable!
Isn’t he just the cutest?
Yeah what a rip off I’m with TT I was sure they were going to bring them back but nope! Am I the only one that thinks Reza’s crying had gotten overplayed here. He treats her like shi, cries and apologizes and expect all is forgiven. Don’t get me wrong MJ can be a little messy like when she went in on Mike’s girlfriend about how ahes glad she isn’t with a Persian man. Iean what the hell was she thinking with that one, but I don’t see that she did anything to warrent the level of shit he’s given her except a lot of allegations from a couple desperate to keep their shit under wraps.
I feel like i missed something?! Is there not a 3rd hour? When do we figure out what Mike/nema and GG/ nema are fighting about???
I’m hearing there is another hour. /BANGS HEAD ON WALL
MJ has something Reza does not. A spouse who loves and respects her. A mate who has her back no matter what. That’s a lot and Reza doesn’t have that. So he is jealous. Maybe jealous that Tommy (and Baby Shams) have usurped him in MJ’s life.
MJ was NOT the only one who knew about Naked Jenga. Unless Adam was playing Naked Jenga Solitaire. And whoever he sent the dick pix to, was in the know.
I can understand someone in Ali’s situation asking a friend of Reza’s for advice about what to do. Because if you say nothing and the cuckhold finds out later that you knew, you are the bad guy, and if you do say something, it’s “shoot the messenger.” Maybe that wasn’t Ali’s motivation. Or maybe it was.
I wonder what Daddy Shams would say if he were here. Maybe it’s good he’s not.
If you had told me before Banjo rescued me I’d be up at midnight cooking for A DOG for the second time in two hours I would have laughed in your face. But dog is getting very finicky. Both of us thing we are hungry and don’t want to eat what we are served. And I am the server. Banjo has always wanted a little something special in each dish. Tonight he ate after I cooked carrot and apples for him. Since the temps are down now I put more baby carrots, an apple and a tomato that is so over ripe it needed something done with it in the baby skillet. That’s so I don’t have to reheat the kitchen tomorrow. But since he had it tonight after refusing the first offering…well we shall see.
I love how you take care of each other! Kinda like me and my 18 year old cat!!
My parents’ dog won’t get on the couch with me until I straighten his fuzzy blanket and fluff the pillow.
Even after doing that, he will sometimes then just look at me and then go lay on the floor or on the other couch with my dad (after the blanket there is straightened and pillow fluffed.
It is a good thing he’s cute.
You’re a great mom to him.
Why is MJ being sacrifice for Adams indiscretions?
Adam and Reza don’t have a true pure relationship.
Reza is so afraid of a divorce. Adam is an easy piece of booty.
MJ has entertain me for year and she is the number one on this show.
This is for MJ, you don’t need any of those people.
MJ is number one on this show. That is why Reza turned on her for “holding out for more money” when she was about to have a baby and things took a turn. When Golnesa lost a pregnancy and then had troubles with her baby, he was right there for her. He hates Golnesa most seasons and she hit Adam in the face one season. That was Reza being spiteful.
I hate how Reza took NO responsibility for airing MJ’s personal medical stuff and tried to blame Tommy for telling him MJ nearly died. Reza is POS in my eyes and so is Adam.
I really, really don’t like Reza. He is plain cruel for airing MJ’s medical history. I agree with Laura. They are both POS! I hope this show is done! Maybe spinoff with MJ, Tommy and baby!!
Yes! I would love a spin off with just MJ, Tommy, baby Shams and Vida with special guests from Ny popping in randomly to visit Tommy. Oh and Shervin and maybe Mike every so often. I just want all the vile people on Bravo shows gone, Kyle and Rinna from RHOBH can go wherever Reza goes as well lol.
I don’t want MJ back with Reza, how in the hell can she even trust him? He is so green with envy about where she is in her life right now. He is just one unhappy, spiteful piece of shit. Can MJ & Tommy just have their own show? It would be better than the same show every season of Reza going after whomever. Mike still not making any money and GG being GG.
Who do you believe is the victim btwn Reza & MJ?
MJ. Reza has come for her season after season and she always forgives him. And any time she would retaliate, somehow she was the aggressor.
Reza’s initial anger at MJ and Ali seemed really overblown, unless there.’a more to it. What Reza screamed at MJ is unforgivable -especially if there is any truth. They accused each other of making up lies and stunts in order to have a plot, and even said they’d discussed doing that together so it’s impossible to tell what is a stunt and what is real anger. I was disappointed to see their reconciliation FaceTime.
Sometimes, you’re friends with someone for 30 good years but things change. If things become toxic, there is no obligation to stay together, hurting each other, for the next 30 years. End it. Keep the good memories and go be happy with other friends.
I thought Mike’s point about Reza being in an extremely marginalized minority was interesting. I hadn’t thought of that angle.
I had a 30 year friendship that became so toxic that I had to walk away from it. It wasn’t an easy decision and took a lot of thought. She did something SO horrible to me that it left me no choice but to end the friendship. It was one of the best decisions I made, after ending the friendship things changed for the better for me. I do cherish the good times and smile when I hear certain songs that remind me of her. I really do wish her well.
I don’t know why they bothered to air this second episode. The MJ/Ali/Reza thing was done to death all season and it was 95% of this episode, totally unnecessary and pointless.
Now, to make up for watching this episode I’m gonna need you to spill the super secret MJ tea TT!
Can someone please tell me why GEEGEE was so mad at Neema, what did he do to her. Why was everyone upset with MJ. Reza looks like it’s possible he smells. Mike is so subdued with this new young lady. I may be in the minority but I like Destiny, even though her hair looked like she put it on on her way out the door. I also have a crush on Neems.
I do not know if Reza smelled during the reunion. But in person he smelled good, he was walking out of a hotel in New York as I was walking in.That was about 4-5 years ago.
So he was on a sidewalk, outdoors, not hugging you, and you could still smell him? That is exactly what they say, he covers his BO with huge amounts of cologne.
I was close enough to him to know if he was covering up BO. I have been around enough people to know if they are hiding funk. I had a coworker who tried to hide the smell of booze with perfume (you could still smell it). As I stated it was just once, he could of just taken a shower and splashed cologne for all I know. I cannot speak on his day to day hygienes, I can only speak about that morning.
And we appreciate your reporting! 🙂
I don’t particularly like either MJ or Reza. I used to but now I’m just done. Reza gets overdramatic and MJ Nevers owns up to her stuff. I really don’t care for Destiny or Nema either lol. I guess I’m done. This reunion was beyond stupid ugh
I like the Mike we are seeing. He seems to have experienced the most growth of anyone. He seems to really care about both MJ and Reza. I don’t see how this show can continue (well, I can, but it would suck) with both MJ and Reza because of the TRO against Tommy. (Tommy’s IG is pretty funny. He could have his own Children’s Book Club spin-off!)
I do NOT fault anyone for not coming to visit MJ. She was in no shape for visitors and they were not allowed. HOWEVER, Tommy could have used support. They could have come to bring him food and respite so he could go look in on Baby Shams and know someone would IMMEDIATELY call him if needed for MJ. Knowing her friends were supporting Tommy would have given MJ a morale boost when she was conscious.
I wish MJ and Asa were in a good place because I liked Asa the most. Even Darth Vida has come along. Then, we get Adam, who I USED to like. No more.
So … MJ, Tommy, Sherv, Mike, Paulina and Nema I can see together. Goodbye Reza and GG and … good riddance Destiney.
None of the originals are going anywhere unless they pull a Nene.
If Reza and MJ make up I will watch. But I won’t watch them tear each other apart any more.
Oh they will make up…and then tear each other apart. This cycle usually goes, MJ forgives Reza. They have a couple of decent episodes, the Reza does something unforgivable
I agree with you about Mike! There is something about him I just can’t hate, even though he was shitty to his wife. I think he had some baggage about his parents and self esteem, but he has an empathetic heart.
Yes, MJ was not in shape to see anyone, but like you said, what about Tommy? What I can’t seem to get out of my head is that Reza CLEARLY has his own relationships with MJs parents… he of anyone should have been calling Tommy and VIDA to see what they needed. To give Vida rides or respites from the hospital, or needed to just have her hand held. Darth Vida is problematic, but she loves her daughter. I think Vida and Reza have each other’s phone numbers.
My bestie and I were a little estranged in college. Not totally, but just more cool because of various reasons. HER mom would call me just to catch up and told me she missed me.
I can’t imagine if something happened to her that I wouldn’t be calling and saying what do you need? And even though she didn’t like anyone, I would have been schlepping my friend’s grandmother if need be (and you think Darth Vida is bad… Bubbe would have given Vida a run for her money!)
I PRAY Destiny go BYE-BYE! She came, made her money for her face work, now she can just GO!
It was ruined for me once I realized she was the sister duo on that couch show that BRAVO use to show every week to chat about the shows! It became a scripted series for me. Does not seem real! HELL, nothing on BRAVO seems real anymore these days! 😴
When I first saw her on the show I kept thinking I recognize Destiney Rose from somewhere just wasn’t sure. Then one day I re-watched a couple of episodes of The People’s Couch and there she was with her sister and I was like; damn, that’s from where I knew her, and I loved her instantly because I loved her on The People’s Couch. It’s a shame that show went off air because I genuinely liked every family they chose as viewers, except one, but I’ve forgotten which one. To not leave people hanging, The People’s Couch was a show that highlighted people watching TV shows with their commentary and reactions. It was fabulous. And Destiney Rose was better in that than she is in Shah’s, but I don’t think she’s horrible in Shahs so…
Some friends are better from afar. I also want a show MJ, Tommy, Vida and baby. I would watch that, Shah’s I will no longer watch. I’m done with that show.
So MJ needed 19units of blood during the surgery which after reading a scholarly article on the subject had a survival rate of 30+/-% from massive blood loss. Reza still thinks his strip Jenga is relavent, sure🙄 Oh yes and how can I forget he told a party full of people about her 10 abortions. Not to be rude but did he take care of someone in production to still have a job. Glad this year is almost done for this show.
Destiny, maybe she’ll buy or loan out another season of fakeness.
I just want fall to come quickly so I can watch all the food network competitions!
Reza’s is a total loser. MJ should sue him for putting her medical issues out there for all to see.
I would have sued him for every penny he has (which as not much) but they are not allowed to sue each other via their contract.
Just awful. All that he said about her, to her and to the viewers, is disgusting. Not a single one of them is “correct” or free of crooked arse shit. Some of them choose to cut real deep and be vicious yet each scream at the others to stop lying. What a farce. Maybe I’ve changed over the years and don’t find this entertaining now. But still too far.
It was awful. One minute he is professing his undying love for her, and the next he is dredging up one of the worst experiences of her young adult life. Bravo should not have aired that.
My takeaway, I learned about the Triple G’s!!! Thanks, TT. How did I not know about Guy’s Grocery Games before. Likely because I knew I would be inspired….ahem….obsessed. Now, I am ready for it. Someone on another thread mentioned the matchmaker series of Netflix. I am halfway in. Love it.
I sort of knew about it but it seemed dumb. Then an episode came on and I didn’t turn the channel because I was working. And I love it. I set my DVR to show new shows and reruns and got about 20 episodes in a day or two. I’ve been quickly running through them. I thought it would be more like background noise but it is very fast moving and I rewind a lot to see how they made the dish and the judges critiques. Most of the judges are great but there was one blond on a recent show I watched that had no clue what she was talking about!
so over this show, Put Mike, Sherven and Nema in an RV and film them driving across the country, take out all the other trash. This reunion was cringy
Wasn’t this on a couple of months ago?
The show itself was yes. Because of Covid and to some extent Golnesa’s pregnancy filming of the union was delayed and shot virtually.
It is so uncomfortable watching Reza and Adam sit there holding hands in their desperate attempt to convince the world of their love. I was cracking up!
Do you notice how Reza acts sweet to Adam, but will then abruptly cut him off when he wants him to stop speaking? He meanly cuts Adam off and says, “I’ll take it from here.”
Does Adam need Reza’s permission to speak?
Yes.
