Raise your hand if you slept more hours of this beautiful weather weekend than you were awake? I have an excuse. My knee stopped wanted to crane me off the couch ten thousand times a day to go take a tinkle. So you can’t drink water, wine, coffee, tea or kombucha while sleeping. So basically you can just sleep for days. I’m up just in the nick of time to prepare for this Shahs of Sunset Recap. And tonight we are going to Palm Springs for yet another Bravo show by Covid. Update: I just tried to go on a beer run and my battery is dead. Luckily my good Christian neighbors were pulling in and couldn’t refuse to take me. So counting my blessings and ready to go to Palm Springs a few minutes late.
Dooly Noted
Mike’s dick is wandering again. Mike swears he is not the person sending a text via Whatsapp. He tells Nema he doesn’t even have Whatsapp. Nema points out that he is on a group chat with him in Whatsapp. Mike is allegedly jacking off to pictures of women on the app. Nema reads one that says, “Can you send me another picture so I can finish?” And the woman replies, “Finish what?” I feel sorry for Jessica for being married to him for almost two years. The trip to Palm Springs is supposed to be for Mike’s birthday. Now he is worried he’s headed for drama. Well, keep your Dool to yourself then, asshole! Paulina will be with the gang in Palm Springs. This is going to be good.

MJ has a new friend coming on to the show. Her name is London and she’s some sort of dating coach. But, more importantly, her grandmother is fantastic. I need a scene with London’s grandmother and Vida. Hell, they need a spinoff. Dating coaches apparently make a lot of money because he house is beautiful! MJ says that she and Tommy are not doing well with intimacy after having a baby. Then they run out and play tennis on London’s private tennis court. MJ displays her hidden tennis talents… with a lot of embellishments.
I’ve Met Mike’s Dool…
Reza and Adam go on a hike up a hill to a Temple. It’s pretty cool. I like seeing new things in California. Apparently, these two are doing better. Adam wants a peaceful safe place to talk about Reza’s relationship with MJ. They still have a restraining order on Tommy so he can’t go to Palm Springs. Adam wants to get back to a friendships with the group. Oh, sweetie, that is so not going to happen. This is the first time Golnesa is leaving the baby. Mike, Nema, MJ and London take a huge limo to Palm Springs. London, who is gay, has been texted by Mike’s penis. OMG. That dool knows no boundaries.

Reza and Adam went in their own limo because drinking in a confined space for two hours is not a good idea when there are hostilities involved. This may be the smartest thing Reza has ever said. Destiney and Golnesa ride in their limo. So clearly, lines have been drawn. Oh it looks like Adam didn’t get to go on the trip. WTF? Adam always gets the short end of the stick. In MJ’s limo, London starts her dating coach questions. This makes me believe she’s not really a dating coach. She’s bringing her job on vacation. Anyway, they talk about threesomes and Nema says he had multiple threesomes when he was married. MJ would cut a bitch. The theme of the trip is 2010 when they claim they all got along. They did not. Nema has not spoken to Reza in a year.
Let The Spending Begin!
I’m already feeling sorry for the owner of this home. They have no idea what is about to go down. MJ has sent Reza an extremely long list of items they will need from the grocery store. Bravo pays for this, so why not go big. I remember my Bravo source marveling at how much money Kim, Kroy and the gang spent on their RV trip at convenience stores (mostly lotto tickets for Kim ). Anyway Reza, Golnesa and Destiney can’t find all the Persian stuff they want in the grocery store. I love when they speak Persian though. It’s not really like Arabic, more like a cross between Arabic and French but it is close enough to conjure memories of Libya. They spent $1,733.88 for TWO DAYS. I have no room to judge. I overfill a huge cart when I Covid shop. And it takes two carts to get it to the car. It’s exhausting.

Reza is already pissed on arrival when he finds out that Nema is occupied in the bathroom and he may have to help carry all the groceries in rather than expecting Nema to be his little bitch. Isn’t he on IG all the time lifting weights? Dude, get your ass out there and carry some groceries! By the way, Nema helped with all the groceries. Golnesa is ignoring Nema. Golnesa has also upped her bangles game. It’s still not at my level, or Asa’s level but it is impressive. Mostly Cartier. I’m a Tiffany/Libyan girl myself.
Reza Starts With Nema Already
Reza is being a cunt to Nema. He blames Nema for interfering with his relationship with Mercedeh. No, dude, you’ve done a fine job of being awful to your “friend of thirty years” since you came on the show. You literally tried to drown her drunk ass in a bathtub in Las Vegas. She forgives you every time. It makes total sense for Nema to support Mercedeh. Reza is an asshole who worries that Mercedeh is the star of the show, and he is always fighting for that position for himself. End of story. Nema is collateral damage in the struggle between Reza and Mercedeh to be the queen of the show. Reza starts screaming insults at Nema because he thinks this show should be just like a Housewives series. When it should try to be more like Family Karma.

London, the new show therapist apparently, counsels Nema. So far she is a peacemaker. I was worried she was going to come in hot like Leva did on Southern Charm. She might just be the calming voice we need. London has them both say two things they like about each other. Nema is sweet and promotes his hair products and says he supports the people he loves. Reza says that Nema has the most beautiful eyes on the planet and he is always jovial and wants to have a good time. She brokers a beautiful truce and Reza and Nema hug it out. London is a miracle worker.
Next, London Tackles Golnesa
Oh London you’ve done so well. Perhaps take a breath before trying to fix Golnesa. Golnesa asks about her dating coach job. London says that she helps people to understand how their past traumas (I’m totally paraphrasing here) lead to issues in their dating life. Golnesa says that her relationships fail because she needs to be “constantly stimulated mentally.” My mind goes completely blank regarding responding to that. Then she says she wants to be polyamorous. She wants a group of people that will all be her bitches. Oh sweetie. That is not how polyamory works. You are like the worse candidate for a polyamorous relationship. You will be brilliant as a whore though. No shade intended. Just have lot of guys on your cellphone. That’s what you want. You want to bang a lot of people who want you. You have the perfect platform for that. Polyamory? Not so much.

Speaking of whoring around… It’s time to confront Mike and his wandering dool. Everyone has a NYE 2010 party to make New Year’s resolution. London needs Midol. Reza swigs Pepto Bismol. MJ wants to mend things with Golnesa. Mike says he need to control his emotions. If by emotions he means his dool, that’s a great resolution! Nema wants to make up with Golnesa. Golnesa says in 2010 she would tell everyone to just wait and see. She’s not the bad guy in the group. Production shows a full montage of Golnesa being the bad guy in the group. Destiney wants to communicate better. Then Reza says he wants to never talk about Mike’s dool.
We’re In The Shallow Now…
Of course Reza has poked the bear and the topic of Mike’s roaming dool is about to blow up. Did I mention this is his birthday weekend? Mike goes outside to the grill and Golnesa tells him that she is on his side. However, she tells him he needs to stop lying to all the girls he messes with online. Golnesa says she needs multiple relationships at the same time so she gets it. But he can’t keep lying to women. MIke tells the camera that taking advice from Golnesa about relationships is like taking cooking advice from Jeffery Dahmer. I see his point. Mike comes inside very confrontational. Destiney tells us that he sucks for toying with someone’s heart.’s She close with Paulina apparently.

Destiney calls my “shallow”. He claims that because he shops at Target he cannot possibly be shallow. I mean really? Mike has the intelligence of a nematod. No offense to Nema. Mike says,” You would drown in my ocean of depth. I’m sorry this is long and running very late, but I need a moment to stop laughing hysterically. Okay, I am ready to continue. I have sufficiently warmed up my vocal cords for American Idol. “We’re in the shallow now….”
Next week: The drama continues with horseback riding and a surprise visit from Mike’s girlfriend, Paulina.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS EPISODE! What did you think? Y’all know I’m biased and love this show. Am I wrong?
I love this show too and enjoyed this episode. Great idea to have a show with London’s grandmother and Vida! Those limos were impressive.
I miss Family Karma. Sigh
They showed the reruns all day yesterday. I think it’s coming back.
It’s coming back soon!
June 2nd.😊
OT: did we ever figure out how to get emails for new comments. I stopped commenting a lot because I get lost. LOL
Love the recap TT. Watching now.
Hi Not intended to you personally but dont know where I can comment.This Group is very “shallow” and the show is quite boring as they all talk behind each others backs.It used to be fun to watch but now its all about how to have fake friends.Everyone is very materialistic,like the 2 Hummer Limo’s,the $1700 Groceries dictated by Mercedes (why didnt her Car stop for Groceries that Bravo paid for?)I didnt see anyone making Meals other than a BBQ.This would have been better spent giving at least half to Charity.If this is the Persian lifestyle than Im glad Im not Persian.Mike (which it was all for his Birthday) acted like a “Dool”,why is he renting his Home and living in a Apartment?Did he complete the Family Apartment Complex overhaul?The show is losing its Luster and I dont buy the “we havent talked in a years due to Covid”,its not 2010,its 2021 and your losing viewers popularity.(but gaining Veneers)opulant smile while stabbing each other in the back.Id rather be home alone Thank You.
This is the lifestyle that the show has always presented as Iranian. Also this is the BEST SEASON EVER! So if you don’t like it, it’s only going to be more disturbing for you. This is them “playing nice.” 🙂
I wish I had time to watch this show! You can always tell when you love a show because you have fun recapping it and it shows! I know the housewives are your money makers but they also seem to suck to recap now and are so repetitive in their story lines.
Thanks for recapping this show it sounds so good!
Ha! It comes and goes. My first post about this show happened before the season even started. And before Bravo stopped letting the talk to blogs so I interviewed most of them. lol. I LOVED Asa from the start and she is so missed.
Yes I miss her aswell but I have to admit I no Mike is a bad ass but I love him to bits.
Shahs is Back Baaaaaaaby…😍
So do you guys want me to keep recapping this or should I just watch it on my own? I’m LOVING this season.
Keep recapping it please!!!! Loving Shahs this season!!!
I don’t comment much cuz most of what I think has already been said but Shas and Married to Medicine are my favourite Bravo shows! I look forward to their recaps every week.
Thanks TT!
Yes, please recap Shahs. I love watching it, but then love hearing your thoughts even more. This is one of my favorites along with Family Karma and Married to Medicine. Like you, I really enjoy all the shows that share other cultures as well. You are a personal friend of mine(unbeknownst to you) and I live for all you say and do!
Keep recapping! This season is off to a great start and I’m counting down to Family Karma too!
Keep recapping definitely, please. I just caught the end last night. I’m watching now on On Demand. I read the recap last night though.
Recap! Recap! Recap! I too laughed out loud about Mike thinking shopping at Target makes him not shallow. If he was smart, he would go to Target and ask to make a commercial based off what we saw last night. I love Shahs. It makes me laugh. Mike has serious man boobs.
I’m off to go shopping at Aldi’s.
As a frequent Target and Walmart shopper I can honestly say…..85% of the time I’m not shallow. Oddly when I lived in San Diego/LA area I never saw Mike when I went to Target….LOL
I read your recaps before watching the episode so yes please keep recapping! Love your humor and the commenters here.
Are you joking, of course!!! We have London now to talk them off the ledge, it will be great. GG is always high, girl isn’t marijuana supposed to help with pain🤣 Mike, his dool and dad bod, Reza’s hypocrisy and his sudden love for naked Jenga Adam. TOMMY!!! and MJ. Nema’s fake rage, yes please! Yeah and that other chick🙄
Yes, please continue to recap TT, I really enjoyed reading since I don’t have Bravo any longer. Thanks for an awesome recap!
Please continue to recap, love this show. I just have one really stupid question, why would it be a bad thing if Mike just wasn’t in any relationship and just dooled around all he wanted? If there is no commitment then he’s good to dool.
Exactly….. if he wants to-as you say- “dool around” there’s nothing wrong with that. Have a ball. But maybe the thrill for him is the cheating. Who knows??? He’s a good looking guy. He can get prob any gal. Stop trying to commit.
I think Mike is constantly trying to please his parents, who of course want a more traditional life for him. He’s always trying to prove himself to them and can’t ever seem to get there, either financially or in his love life. He’s really a “dooler”, but I think he feels like he “should” have a committed relationship (ending in marriage). He “shoulds” himself, hence, always the double life.
Yep. Totally agree. Trying to please his forever married parents. Deep down monogamy probably isn’t for him tho. But he feels pressure to please mom and dad. Understandable I guess
Just remembered also. Probably doesn’t hurt that Paulina is supposedly verrrry rich from her ex. I would love to see what she looked like before all the Botox and lip fillers. Jen Shah is unrecognizable before all her surgery-Botox-fillers. She was sooooooo pretty back then
Yep, it’s sad. I would tell the parents, you got the family and the grandkids from my brother, let me be! Hes on TV, just be a ho! Some people just like different flavors!
I was live recapping this to my cousin, who was asleep.. you should see my one-sided text convo. I laughed hysterically multiple times throughout this episode! It. was. GOLD 😂
some of my faves.. the whatsapp chat.. the separate limos.. and the TWO Target mentions by Mike. ahahahahahaha
i love all of these people. and agree, London is a good addition, albeit seemingly planted to stir up relationship stuff. (ps, i think i heard London welcome MJ to “her parent’s” house) still awesome 🙂
Shahs is my favorite show on bravo. i haven’t watched family karma, but i’m going to now that i see it’s coming back.
I love Shahs. Please keep recapping for us. i missed the first couple of seasons but I try to catch them in reruns. Mike, you are sooooo not good at lying.
I love Shahs and LOVE your recaps TT!!!!!
Pleeeaaaassseee keep recapping this show TT. I will admit the last season I kind of phased out towards the end, but these first 2 episodes have been great. One question…..has there ever been a time there wasn’t someone “beefing” with someone else in this group? That being said I loved the 2010 Theme.
Can’t you just tinkle in a jar with a lid next to your couch…Banjo won’t care ~ you’ve watched him.
LOL I actually thought about one of those bottles they give bedridden people in the hospital to use. But after sleeping for pretty much three days straight, It’s feeling much better.
Please keep recapping the show! I love the show – but always head to your sight almost immediately after to see your recaps. Thank you for the work you do.
Doesn’t MJ look so relaxed and cute this season?! Lose those wigs and lashes and lose ten years.
Reza is out of control. It’s mean to goad Mike at his own party. And the way Reza screamed at Nema? What a douche.
Gg looks happy. Destiney, too.
Yes! Please keep recapping this show. I’m shocked by how much I enjoyed these first two episodes. And what I love is coming here after each episode, reading your fun recaps and laughing at the amazing comments. I read every comment, and they always brighten my day.
I love having this space where I can enjoy others who can appreciate things like Mike’s ocean of depth. What a philosopher.
Thanks, TT!
Thanks for this. ” I can enjoy others who can appreciate things like Mike’s ocean of depth.” I appreciate this. It’s been a really odd day where I made some questionable decisions and almost had the cops called on me. It’s a long story. But I’m fine now and this gave me the laugh I needed.
MJ looks awesome
Right? And CLEARLY she saved her paychecks because they have a gorgeous house in Calabasas with that sweet baby boy. I LOVE TOMMY! They are the perfect family.
Tommy’s IG is hysterical by the way. He does videos about MJ that are poking a LOT of fun at her and his Videos about this mother in law who he refers to as DARTH VIDA! (Genius) are LOL funny.
AND THE VERY BEST PART is that they all three clearly love each other and MJ and Vida are fine with it. Well MJ is I’m not sure Vida is on social media to know about them, lol.
So far the show has setup the gang for a beautiful explosion of hurt egos coming soon. I look forward to the next episode.
