On we go to the Shahs of Sunset recap. It’s time for the reunion and there is a whole lot to talk about! We start with a fight between Tommy and Mercedeh at their house. She is getting ready for the reunion and Tommy is pissed about her sending out topless photos to Nema and Shervin. He doesn’t want to be on camera and he apparently slept in the baby’s room all night. Wow. This is bad.
At the reunion Mike is called out for always living in a different place each season. Now he claims he and Paulina have bought a house together in the suburbs. Sounds to me like he just moved in with Paulina and her kids. Before the reunion began Paulina told Andy backstage that Mike is the man of her dreams. She needs to dream bigger. Mike looks wasted already. OMG! Golnesa somehow managed to find out the name of her sperm donor and stalk him on social media! Jessica has a son about the same age as Golnesa and Mercedeh they all three go on mommy playdates.
Apparently, It’s The Mike Show
Somehow, it just turned into lots of screaming at each other. Everyone is mad at Nema for comments he made on social media. Mike of all people is screaming at Destiney about whether or not she has gotten fillers. Have you seen Mike and Reza’s faces lately? They are unrecognizable! There are so many conflicts between these six it is hard to keep up. Paulina is not out there yet but they are talking the sexting situation again. Mike goes off on Destiney for being so concerned with his relationships. Frankly, his relationships are right out there in the public. Are they all just supposed to nod and agree with the flimsy lies he tries to use to cover them up? Then, Mike apologies to the group.
Mike is the only one of the six who think sexting is cheating? Of course sexting is cheating! WTF? Andy asks if it was just sexting. Mike says yes. Then, Destiney says that Mike has tried to get with two of her friends.

Mike apparently has a burner phone. He says he uses it for his “construction” that no one believes he really does. Golnesa goes off on Mike. She calls Paulina his bitch. He tells her not to call her that. Then she calls his Nana a bitch. What is wrong with these people tonight? So, Andy takes a break and tells Golnesa she needs to “Woosah.” I thought pot was supposed to calm people down. Golnesa is bouncing off the walls. Backstage, she talks to Destiney and threatens to hit Mike if he doesn’t calm down. Mike is literally vaping and nearly comatose. Golnesa seems like she is on something besides pot.
Don’t Call Me A Bitch, Bitch!
After the break, Golnesa comes out with a dozen roses that Mike gave her. She tried to give them to Paulina but Mike intercepted and says that she already got hers. So, Golnesa’s get tossed on the floor. Paulina is not on the stage. Paulina seems trying to backtrack on everything she told Destiney all season. She now claims she misrepresented their relationship and that Mike is not controlling her. This sounds like exactly what people in controlling relationships say. Mike has changed. She also texted Jessica in retaliation for her saying she was fake while texting with Mike. Golnesa and Paulina get into a heated exchange. Golnesa calls Paulina a ratchet bitch, and Paulina calls Golnesa a hood rat.

Paulina says she is not thrilled with Mike being on the show because of the way their relationship is portrayed. Bitch, it is you and Mike who are painting the picture! She says their life is “amazing.” So why do they both look so miserable. Andy asks Mike if Paulina gave him the ultimatum, “It’s either me or the show” what would you do? Mike stutters around for a long time trying to figure out what the correct answer is. He says he would leave the show. He’s lying. Paulina says she cannot live without him. Mike announces that he and Paulina are engaged. They got engaged in Hawaii on a trip with the kids. Mike gives a very long story about it. The ladies freak out that Paulina doesn’t want a prenup.
More screaming about nonsense. Destiney seems concerned for Paulina. Paulina needs to be concerned for Paulina.
Paulina is such a phony bitch. She was in Destiney’s ear about Mike and catching him sexting. When she called Destiney while the group was on the trip she said they were broke up, talking like she was done. Now, she’s acting like others have painted the wrong picture & she and Mike are so perfect. I don’t see this lasting. Mike has never been able to stay faithful to one woman. I feel sorry for Paulina’s kids.
You had me at “phony bitch.”
MJ needs to put her family first and be careful about what she reveals because GG and Reza certainly aren’t her friends and would be glad to see her off this show if they could. GG should realize if things go south with her and Reza he will reveal confidential information about her too.
Mike is a pathological liar. I have a bad feeling that there is more to it with his situation. Paulina isn’t looking out for herself. Why has London seen his dool? Reza knows way more than he is telling about Mike.
Destiny looks like Teresa Giudice now.
So Nema shoots it straight on social media and they don’t like it? Good for him I say.
Destiney ruined her face—so sad🥺
I agree.
Does Paulina realize how pathetic she looks?
Mike knows that the way to Paulina’s heart is through her children. Is he such a lowlife that he would use those kids to get to Paulina. She apparently is wealthy and Mike is incapable of making a living that supports his wannabe lifestyle and he can’t afford to lose her.
He clearly moved in with her, I didn’t buy the staged scene between him and his father ( the “I’m so proud of you” scene on Mike’s fake construction site).
Paulina was clearly rehearsed and was uncomfortable.
Destiny don’t you know that if you call out your girlfriend’s boyfriend for cheating, and your girlfriend forgives him and gets back together with him that you will be thrown to curb. Paulina is going to deny, deny, deny. It’s clear why Mike hates Destiny because he knows that she knows where all the bodies are buried. Paulina knows what she told Destiny and the fact that she is still with Mike makes her look like a fool.
The way to her heart is this show. She’s so desperate to go on tv she doesn’t care how pathetic she looks.
I haven’t watched this show in years, but I tuned in for the reunion tonight. WTF happened to these people? They look old, tired, and drugged-up. What a shame. I was really sorry to see that Golnesa is such a hot mess still. I always hoped better for her and thought she could/would find her way out of the anger and behavioral outbursts.
I’m really sorry I tuned in…lol.
This is scary. Paulina so insecure with such little self respect that she would put up with Mikes bs? Mike so desperately wants to be the committed monogamous relationship family man but he is just not.
Totallt. Paulina, give it up girl. You don’t need him. Mike go get some help for sexual addiction
Here’s what I saw in regards to Mike tonight. He loves the chase the sexting the secrecy and the excitement. He has no interest in stopping this because ITS NOT A PROBLEM for him it’s a problem for her.
Sure he can white knuckle it for a bit but until Mike realizes it’s a problem for HIM the pattern will repeat. He’s an addict.
What did Andy mean when he said you know he cameras are going dark for a while?
I’m worried about MJ and Tommy. It doesn’t seem good there.
I agree. I hated to see the MJ & Tommy scene. I like them together. I do see his point of not wanting his wife sending pics of her tits to Nema & Shervin.
Once again, reading TT’s recap makes me glad I don’t watch Bravo. Quick question though, was Reza at the Reunion? He wasn’t mentioned here at all. 🤔
Sort of. He lost 100 pounds and was wearing shorts, so despite his giant ego, his physical appearance was smaller.
Thanks for the recap!
Paulina is a messy fool. She started all this drama. She sent the texts to everyone on the show. She told everything to Destiny. Then she wants to sit there like it’s other people’s fault. That whole, “I won’t live without you” is CREEPY and very manipulative. Mike is a dool, but so is Paulina.
I still like GiGi. Lol I can’t help it. I died when she called Mike’s mom a B. Call ME a B!? You, your mama, your Nana and your GF….all Bs!
And Destiny’s face. Wow.
I CANNOT LIE…..I CHORTLED WITH GLEE when GiGi said this because I cannot confirm nor deny I’ve ever said the exact same thing in an argument with somebody. Her frankness is so funny (and REFRESHING) to me.
I agree!
Exactly!
I was going to comment the same things you said!! lol First What the hell has Destiney done to herself???? OMG
Paulina is messy I think she likes to drink and starts alot of crap when Lit.
GG never changes. Sometimes it looks like it but not really, even though she was the best this season.
Golnessa was definitely on something more than the ols wuzzah.
Why did Destiny have scary ice blue eyes that the Ice King in Game of Thrones. The kind of weird blue contacts that they use in vampire movies. She looked freaky. I don’t know why she is so close with Reza and GG.
Also, right before the commercial break, Reza goes to talk to Mike. Mike confronts Reza for not having his back and Reza somehow tried to turn it around and blame MJ. That was awful. Reza is so awful to MJ.
I caught that too with Reza. He is so fake and phony. And two faced. Like why try to bring MJ into this? I never liked him.
Destiny knows where all the bodies are buried. Despite this she should stay out of Mike & Paulina’s relationship. I think she likes being the only one who knows the truth, but if Paulina has decided she is going to stay with Mike, Destiny needs to cut the friendship with Paulina and keep her mouth shut. For some reason Paulina is willing to put up with all of Mike’s indiscretions and abuse. That’s her business. No one else cares about this relationship between those 2 but Destiny. Girlfriend needs to find some new friends because Paulina will deny everything she ever told Destiny until she’s blue in the face.
Also, I didn’t like the seating arrangements. MJ is the star of the show. She should have had that seat next to Andy, where GG was sitting. And GG should not have been near Mike at all.
Thank you for the recap I haven’t watched yet but I did see them on instagram. Destiny’s face, wow. I could only imagine how it looks in person. I thought these kids were naturally gorgeous in the beginning, now they look like they used to be cute. GG is in LOVE WITH MIKE. MJ was wrong for sending pictures of her boobs to anyone, but she has low self esteem and wants to be wanted, Mike is really handsome so is Neema. Reza looked great with his weight lost all the boys look better than the girls.
Why is Reza in Mike’s ear about MJ? I already see Reza is going to throw her under the bus because Tommy won’t let his arse see Shams. Tommy’s got his number and Tommy is not going to move on this issue.
And MJ’s right Reza does gyrate towards the new girl until he doesn’t want them around anymore. He screwed over Asa and Lili both. GG should know by now not to trust him as far as she can throw him. He does stick it to MJ with his post and stuff. His girl GG, come on Reza you called her every name in the book and have you forgotten she hit Adam.
And if Jessica got paid a nickle for every time her name has been mentioned since she left this show she’d be richer than she already is. She never got a dime from the show when she was on it and she never took a dime from Mike. Why should she, she had the money not him. And for him to try and put blame on her is Mike still deflecting. Did Mike also forget the other girl between Jessica and Paulina who found out he was cheating and moved out while they were on one of their drunk vactions?
On a lighter note, thanks to whomever turn me on to Till the Dirt. Tommy is honest, profane, funny and upfront and MJ is actual really down to earth and likable. She changes when she’s around Reza, he’s her addiction. If she screws it up with Tommy I hope she doesn’t think she’s just gonna walk off with Shams into the sunset with Reza and the crew because Tommy will be throwing more than plants.
I used to like Reza before the mask slipped.
I’m glad I watched the show this morning while I was getting ready for work, because it stressed me out and I wouldn’t have been able to sleep last night. These people are destroying their faces with fillers, botox, etc. The screaming at each other over the same old things all the time is insane. We all know Mike will never change. Mike knows he’ll never change. Why do they all act like it’s a surprise that he hasn’t changed? Paulina is getting what she wants out of the relationship . . . a spot on TV. GG seemed so rational throughout the season (most of the time). She was out of control last night. Destiny made GG look calm. Reza walking off in tears was laughable. I felt so sorry for Tommy. I seriously doubt he wanted that scene filmed. I hope MJ realizes Tommy is the only one who is interested in what’s best for her.
I think when Andy said the cameras were going to go dark for a while he meant they wouldn’t be shooting the new season for a while.
It sure is….
This show is about LOVE. Golnessa is (dangerously) in love with Mike, who is in love with sex. Destiny wants to be loved in general while Nema is enjoying looking for love. MJ and Reza. HMMMMMMMMMM…. Tommy loves MJ but MJ loves Reza who is incapable of loving anyone but himself. I think that sums it up.
I think that you are so right but I think that Destiny is in love with Paulina.
Hasn’t Andy been known to hand out lines? It sure seems like it-
Tommy’s mother died. MJ almost died bringing their son into the world. This is about life for Tommy. Not a TV show. I hope MJ realizes quickly who has her back and who doesn’t. What Reza did is unforgivable and I can’t blame Tommy! I am so impressed that he was not going to be TV fodder especially with her being disrespectful with the pictures! Tommy is living his best life and this is their marriage. Not a TV program. He’s not causing a scene .. he’s “disengaging”! GG was the only one who had Mike’s back and wasn’t taking part in Paulina’s “outing” him and he goes after her? What is that about? They all took his side over Jessica’s. Why Jessica wants to be friends with any of them is beyond me. But … This is what fuck boys do and they get away with everything because of their core group and family making excuses and hiding his behavior. Paulina is under his control. It’s called coercive control and it’s a mind fuck. He love bombs her and her kids in private. I feel very sorry for her and I hope her family steps in and protects her kids financially, at least. I think she has this vision of a power couple. I think she likes being on the show but she is definitely “in love” with mike (albeit dysfunctionally). He’s attacking destiny because she knows the truth and you can see him seething over that. I’m sure he’s making Paulina feel awful that she confided in her. He attacks Destiny’s appearance but it’s her business plus his girl does the same! Mike is all about appearances … he is superficial with no substance. He deflects his lies by saying destiny is lying about her fillers. Please! You can bet that when Mike cheats on her, after they are married, that his family and “friends” will toss her and support her as much as they did Jessica. Ugh!!! I just can’t stand it!!! Run, MJ!!
Even though GG was super extra at the reunion, she’s still the only one who is telling the truth and speaking with clarity. Why Mike is still allowed on this show is beyond me. EVERY year he promises to be better and EVERY year he is worse and worse. He’s so disrespectful to most of the women on this show. The way he constantly tries to shut Destiny down is appalling. She knows shit he doesnt want aired so He puts her down and talks over her constantly. And I don’t believe ONE WORD out of Paulina’s mouth. She has been bitten by the TV bug & just wants more air time and focus. If you ask me, she and Mike deserve each other. And I give Tommy & MJ 5 years tops. Tommy deserves better than MJ who I think has been in love with Reza since high school.
You were right when you said Don’t Sleep on Shah’s this season! In my opinion, this season was the best. Paulina needs a therapist, and I felt really sorry for her kids in her saying, I won’t live without him. Eerie. Mike needs to get off the show and focus on himself, he continues to think everyone is involved in his relationship, however it’s him and Paulina that involve everyone. He’s a serial cheater.
Loved GG in the reunion, she dickslapped Paulina.
I found Paulina’s statements disturbing. She should be living for herself, her children and then her fuckboi. I fear for her life if she is depending upon Mike.
Paulina is like some weird Stepford Wife. It’s bizarre. I’m starting to suspect that she might be battery operated and controlled by a rose gold remote that Mike keeps on hand at all times. He pushes one button … Paulina walks to her closet and selects that day’s outfit from her Strip Club Barbie Underboob collection. Mike pushes another button … Paulina robotically professes her love for and dependency on her too-tight t-shirt wearing indifdelity addict. Another button … and the Paulina-Bot 3000 returns to her charging station to juice up for a new day of gaslighting and delusion. She needs to snap out of it!
Mike looks like a bloated Vegas lounge singer, what has happened to him????
TT I used to watch Shahs but hadn’t in years till you started posting about how great Season 9 was. So I pretty much started at the beginning and have been blitzing through it the past few weeks. I am currently halfway through season 8. The best part of this show is the inside peek into Iranian culture. The other great aspect is how crazy they all are yet the fact that so many of them were true friends. Watching season 8 was pretty insane regarding the lack of care ANY of them had for MJ during her horrible labour. Reza was so selfish about it. I love Tommy so much and him and MJ and him are an amazing couple. GG has always been selfish and it seems like she does things more for the sake of the “title” rather than the act itself. Like she loved calling herself “engaged” but didn’t really want to be married. She wanted to be pregnant but didn’t seem to think about the ramifications of what happens after. She was pretty selfish to bring a child into the world without a father, why would you intentionally do that to a kid? Because it was about what GG wanted, not the child. That said motherhood might be the best thing for her. Mike seems super controlling and disrespectful to all the women in his life other than his mother. He will never change. It’s a big word but he seems to be an emotional abuser behind closed doors. Anyways all this might be irrelevant to season 9 so hopefully I can blitz thru the series fast enough to catch the S9 part 2 reunion. Thanks for all the recaps TT!
Excellent show love ❤️ it ,
But have a few questions……
Would Mike forgive Paulina if she had been the one to cheat ?
Does anyone feel sorry for Tommy , imagine he had taken a pic of his dick and sent it to the other girls in the group , what would MJ think of that ?
Reza is soo extra does he like anyone in that group ?
And finally Nema , is he a real man ?
Can’t wait for the the second part of the reunion:)
Dear Paulina, this is not a fully scripted show. You relationship is portrayed as a mess because it is. You look hella dumb, because you are, at least in this situation. You are dimming your light for some community dick, girl, I’m sorry but the truth is the truth. If you want to look like a strong, has it under control woman, either get that man on a damn leash or leave him alone. He’s trash. AND he’s managed to get you to ruin your face while he’s passing himself around in these streets so yeah…. but good luck with this amazing life and all girl.
Mike, you are trash, your face is too puffy and you looked like you were having a coronary during the reunion. Probably just your blood pressure rising because you don’t like to be called out, have A LOT to hide about how you move and need to get it together. GET IT TOGETHER, MICHAEL.
Nehma, you’re boring and 1000% cringey 80% of the time. Drink some water and stop being so damn thirsty.
Destiny, why, girl? ITS YOUR FACE, STOP MESSING WITH IT. And get rid of the contacts, not the look, babe.
London, you were a paid therapist to mediate these messed for insurance purposes during filming, right? Either way, bye.
Everyone else: you all really brought it this season. Great job. Looking forward to next season ❤️
