This season Shahs of Sunset has been great! The reunion? Not so much. Hopefully, tonight’s Shahs of Sunset recap will not be all about Mike and Paulina. Because nobody cares. Literally, no one. According to my source Shahs is going to be renewed again for another season. They are looking for someone new to join the cast. Probably as a friend. And if they find someone one of the friends is leaving. I hope it is London. I don’t dislike her, but she just seems like someone they brought in to be the “therapist” and she is in way over her head for that job. Actually, I think Sigmund Freud would be in over his head with this bunch. I am fading fast and still have two more recaps to go tonight. ARGH!
We are back on set with Paulina backtracking. She was drunk when she told Destiney all the things she told her. She talked too much. Paulina doesn’t remember what she said, etc. etc. Paulina is not very good at this. She regrets talking too much to everyone. Andy keeps trying to go back to the topic anyway. They talk about Mike saying to Destiney that he can buy and sell her. He sort of apologizes. Hell, he can’t even pay for his own place to live? How do the other do so well with their money but Mike always seems broke as a muthafucker. What does he do with his money? Does it all go up his nose? He looks really disheveled on this reunion like he is drinking and doing coke and vaping pot all at the same time. That would be my guess.

Destiney and Mike continue to argue. Destiney says her dick is bigger than Mike’s. I get the metaphor; however, Destiney not having a dick at all is still bigger than Mike’s. Mike slips up and calls Paulina his “most prized possession.” Even Andy Cohen winces. Good Grief! Everyone realizes that Mike is ALLGEDLY high as a kite. Even Reza can’t defend this behavior, so you know it is bad. Paulina says she didn’t go to Friendsgiving because she didn’t want to be a dinner where she was not thankful for those around her. This bish! Does she really think any of are buying this nonsense?
For The Love Of GOD, Can We Please Move On?
Andy keeps going for Paulina and I am here for it. Paulina keeps backing herself in a corner. She’s not savvy enough for this reunion. She’s like someone with one boxing lesson from that dude on RHONY going up against half a dozen heavyweight boxers. Yet on we go with the Paulina and Mike show. Why? No one cares! Andy brings up the phone call from Paulina to Destiney where she says, “History has repeated itself and at this point I have reached my end.” Andy follows up by asking Mike about being caught AGAIN being unfaithful. Mike denies it. He says there were just more “spoofs texts.” Nobody believes him. No. Bod. EE.

Andy asks if Mike has gotten any kind of help for his sex addiction. Mike says he has been talking to a Rabbi. I do not believe that for a minute. I cannot see Mike being honest with a Rabbi of all people about his sex addiction. Mike says that he and Paulina are engaged. They are fine. Andy wants to know when they are getting married. Mike says, “soon” and by soon he means whenever Bravo wants to pay for the wedding. AGAIN. Andy asks if Paulina has anything else to say before he boots her off the stage. She tells Destiney, she would love to have “that relationship” with her again. She will need a friend next season so she can still be on the show. Paulina is a HUGE fame whore. Destiney says she never told the group all the things Paulina told her. Mercedeh is like, PLEASE, the actual cast has things to work through. Paulina leaves.
Love In The Time Of Covid
FINALLY! We move on to the main cast. Perhaps Mercedeh will get to speak. Andy talks to Golnesa about her desire to explore polyamory. Andy points out she could not even be faithful to her husband for the few months they were married. Most of the cast is not dating due to Covid. Destiney has a fear of the grocery store like I do. Only I had it before Covid. It is worse now. Golensa says Nema’s dick is a Persian cucumber not a regular cucumber. Nema seems to be a hot commodity among other Bravolebs. Garcelle in particular thinks he is hot. He’s way too young and naive for her. Scheana likes him too. He went on a date from Paige from Summer house. Jules from Summer House also is into him. You go, Nema!

Reza says that Adam was not really interested in filming the show. He has his own job and feels “the exact same way Paulina does about filming” according to Reza. Andy asks about the baby situation. Reza says it is not happening and he never, ever, every wants to have a kid. He gets emotional. This is a total change of heart. But now, Reza says he doesn’t think it is a good idea. He has learned some things about himself. Basically he is an asshole. Reza walks off the set to cry. PUHLEASE. On the other hand things are finally getting interesting. Reza thinks he would suck as a dad. I agree. Apparently, Reza no longer has love for MJ’s mom. Reza’s dad is very ill and “non-verbal” I am so sorry to hear that. MJ comforts him.
Mike says he misses his relationship with Reza. He’s the older brother he always wanted. Unfortunately, they don’t communicate well. They attack each other a lot on social media instead of talking to each other. They truly love each other. But, Reza is just such a dick. But they profess their love for each other and hug it out.
FINALLY, Queen Mercedeh Is Allowed To Speak!
And we saved the best for last. Mercedeh says she is so focused as a mom that the romance in her marriage is suffering. She sees so much of her father in baby Shams. Reza speaks very highly of Mercedeh’s father. They were very close. That is why it is killing him that he can’t meet Baby Shams. Well, motherfucker, actions have consequences. What do you think Mercedeh’s father would have to say about the way you have treated her over the years? Merce says she misses not being able to call Reza all the time and the closeness of the relationship. Her dress is gorgeous.

Reza is pissed that Tommy ripped up his letter. He says he doesn’t want a relationship with Tommy. Well, that’s mutual. It sounds like Reza is maybe going to drop the restraining order? That will not make a difference. MJ says that Tommy sees all the stuff that Reza puts in social media. Mercedeh mentions that Reza liked a lot of tweets about people making fun of her almost dying in childbirth. Reza’s response is, “What? From years ago?” I don’t think there is a statute of limitations for a husband to abide by when her so called best friend is mocking her near death experience you POS. Reza wants to make this all about him. Golnesa supports Reza.
Reza Is A Total Dick
I love Mercedeh’s entire look. She looks amazing. Reza says that not being friends with Mercedeh has been the happiest time in his life. So great! Leave baby Shams out of it you POS. Tommy wants Reza to go to anger management and this is why. Reza says he will drop the restraining order but he is not going to anger management. He is not going to hang out with Merce, and he is not going to see “her kid.” MJ says it is a really deep cut when he forms new friendships with others and not make room for her. Merce says that she wants a relationship with him but they need to have some serious conversations. Reza is a sad excuse for a human being. Check out this link from BEFORE THE SERIES EVEN AIRED! I was right in 2012!

Why is Mike weighing in on this. He and Golnesa seem to blame their spouses. Mike thinks they will work it out. Mercedeh is crying. And is ready to wrap things up. Instead of a toast they are going to eat pies. IDGI. It has something to do with Golnesa. Mike and Destiney hug it out. That was weird. Backstage, MJ and Reza talk again. Mercedeh is crying. She basically tells Reza she doesn’t know how to fix things. She misses him. WHY MERCEDEH? WHY? He is not worth your time. They hug and kiss it out.
That was a great season!
Why are all of these people such destroyed troubled damaged people. Or is that just an excuse for their bad behavior? MJ has fat girl syndrome. She doubts her own value so she plays the clown and let’s Rezs shit all over. From day one he has been truly horrible to her. Reza is a shit to everyone. He is a shitty person to his core. GG is a ridiculous fool. An angry spoiled little brat. I feel sorry for that kid. Thank God for his grandmother. Destiny is so annoying and unlikeable. But Reza. He’s disgusting to the core.
I did enjoy this season. Too much of the reunion was wasted on Mike and Paulina. Mike will never change. I don’t see them lasting and like you said, I did not care to have their phony BS drug out wasting precious reunion time.
Reza is not willing to make the sacrifices necessary to have children. Which is fine, at least he gets that.
Why can’t Reza acknowledge that having Tommy put in jail and filing criminal charges against him has made it extremely difficult for Tommy to hold down a job and provide for his family!!! On every job application, Tommy will have to say that he is a convicted criminal. MJ goes too easy on Reza. He says such mean things to her! He had her husband put in jail. He is awful. She doesn’t “try to make him look bad” like he said tonight. She barely even holds him accountable for the horrible things he has done. Liking tweets about her dying last year isn’t okay.
Yes!!
Tommy did say in the last episode before the reunion that he would get over it in his own time and not because he received a letter. I think Tommy is right – why should he rush the process when he was deeply hurt. If Reza really wants to meet Sham’s he really needs to try harder. Lifting the restraining order does not mean he is forgiven – and I do think Adam has no interest to EVER become friends with MJ and Tommy.
Reza reminds me of a toxic friend I had for years. The kind who sends an apology email titled “I’m doing this for me” to a junk/spam email address and wants credit for being a big person. Ugh. Run, Mercedeh. Work on your marriage, hold on tight to baby Shams, and never ever fall for Reza’s shit again.
Reza is a total snake and absolutely needs anger management and also How to Be Even a Halfway Decent Person management. When Tommy threw around the plants at Reza’s, it was out of protection for and loyalty to Mercedeh. Reza should have just let it go. Instead, he and quiet-but-evil Adam made Tommy go to jail and end up with a criminal record. I don’t blame Tommy one bit for saying Reza can’t hang out with his child. MJ should stay loyal to good-hearted Tommy, not hurt him by hanging out with snake Reza.
I’m glad to hear Reza isn’t going to be a father, because he’d be a terrible one.
Paulina is making a mistake, because Mike is never going to change his spots. But Destiney needs to just butt out of their relationship. Her insistence on going after Mike is making her look crazy. She used to seem so fun on People’s Couch.
Does Destiny have a girl crush on Paulina or is she just looking for a storyline? Either way – I agree that she is coming off as loco!!!
Mike has redeemable qualities in his peace making with the group but he has to do the real work. He does need professional help for his sex addiction. The sad part is that he unable to admit it and will drag Paulina’s Two kids down with him when he gets caught for more than sexting.
Reza is toxic and vile. All these years later and he cannot own up to his responsibility of what happened with Tommy. Reza set everything it motion and then laughed as others took the fall.
MJ – choose your family. Choose your hubby and your baby. Those are the people that have your back.
GG – you better watch out for Reza because after he is done with MJ and Mike, your turn is coming again.
This 100000000 per cent
Yes! Destiny is a bit too vested in Paulina.
i am impressed by how much reza looks like jeff dunham’s achmed the dead terrorist puppet. look at the middle picture of reza above.
Judy Judy Judy I.AM.DEAD
I am trying to understand what is the cast’s obsession over Paulina. Destiny seems like a ex-girlfriend stalker. I think she wants Paulina for herself. This is what most if the season was about and Mercedes
Why is the cast so persistent over Paulina filming but no-one says anything to Merce and Reza about Tommy and Adam. Not that I blame Tommy for not being around these vile toxic people but the Karen(Adam) is staying away because he knows what him and Reza did was not right.
I love Merce and Mike because they are the ones that the cast try to sh** on every season because they are the only ones with storylines about real issues and there personal life is always up for discussion. Also the cast probably will give Merce a harder time next season because they see Tommy dislikes them all. Golnessa has went back to not liking her and Destiney will always go with the bull to fit in.
Woe unto them all.
My very first laugh of the season was when Golnesa got pissed because Paulina was texting her while she was trying to enjoy her pie. I totally hear her on that! I do not need drama when I am trying to enjoy my food. I swear that’s why she was angry at Paulina the whole season. Don’t mess with GG’s pie!
I think that MJ has been in love with Reza since high school and has never gotten over him, thinking the “gay” thing will go away someday and finally see the light. This is why she gets so jealous of his other female relationships. She has no problem with his male relationships. She wants to be his “forever girl.” Now why she would waste her time on such a viper in designer clothes is beyond me. She needs to wise up, focus on her husband and son and forget about trying to get back in Reza’s good graces. They are so NOT worth it. I’m not MJ’s biggest fan but I do wish she could find happiness & contentment with her family.
Poor MJ. She holds onto Reza because of the 30 years and the connection to her dad. Reza is like Vida was and MJ is thinking that what happened with her mom (becoming emotionally available and supportive) will happen with Reza. It won’t! They aren’t blood. I know she is so hurt and Reza twists the knife by constantly going on and in about his “girls” Destiny and GG. He knows how to hurt her and he continues. I get it but she needs to realize that this friend of 30 years had her husband put in jail and had a restraining order. At the time of the reunion, he didn’t have it removed. I thought he was doing that last year! That says a lot about Reza’s vindictiveness. I want more Tommy, MJ, vida and Shams. And Sherbin and Nema. I can’t help but feel badly for Paulina. She is so love bombed by F-Boy Mike and is now in so deep with her children and being engaged … she is in need of serious therapy. I know people think she is a Fame Whore but I see a woman who was so vulnerable going through a divorce and was the perfect target for a narcissist. Destiny needs to back off and, if she really considers Paulina a friend, stand by for the fall out that is to come. GG will be hurt by Reza it’s just a matter of time. I understand her hesitation with being friends with MJ but I don’t think they will get to a better place while Reza is up her ass. I’m surprised at GG. There’s nothing MJ has done to her that Reza wasn’t a part of. I loved this season but the reunion was definitely lacking. I missed seeing the spouses and Vida. It felt very different. I even forgot London was part of the cast. I would’ve loved to Shervin too. I’m glad they renewed but hope they make a better choice for a new cast member. I think they need a real friend of MJ’s. Sara and London were useless.
Is it just me or are Destiny’s blue contacts super creepy?
It’s not just you. Wtf was that?!
May I comment on the physical appearances of the cast? Why were GG, Destiny, MJ, Paulina, and Mike all bright orange? Do they think that’s a good look? Also, all of the women’s faces look contorted with fillers. They just looked strange and definitely not pretty. I don’t get it.
I can tell from watching that he is definitely coked out. And a possession? Oy. I went to a fortune teller recommended by my ex husband’s family and she told me 3 things, I would have 3 children (I had a tubal scheduled but ex told me to cancel it) and indeed do have 3 children. 2- “Your husband is very possessive of you” which I thought meant loved me so much?! And #3 I would be very healthy for the rest of my life. 🤞
We don’t know the whole Tommy and Reza story. I believe they were both wrong from what we know. I like Tommy better. But was disappointed in his actions.
I think Mike hugged Destiny because even though he treats her like garbage she was loyal to Paulina and did not reveal on stage anything that she told her. I think he knew what she told her and was glad it didn’t get spoken. Paulina uses the clothes she wears to prove Mike is not controlling her? I mean he is with her so no matter what she wears he is there. They did show a clip of Destiny and Paulina on the phone but it didn’t get explored. Andy is such a dickwad. He was like REZA NEEDS ANGER MANAGEMENT? IS TOMMY GETTING ANGER MANAGEMENT? I am so glad that MJ was able to say yes, the court ordered one and he has continued to work on himself. DON’T COME FOR TOMMY…..LOL
I feel sorry for MJ. I do believe she is always trying to please everyone and make sure everyone is happy. The product of a mother who is never happy herself. It is hard. She is a wonderful Momma , or seems to be and Tommy seems to be a great Dad. Build your life there. Reza is like a hoover vacuum that will suck the life out of you.
Adam and Paulina probably both feel the same way about filming because they are both involved with the same kind of man. Selfish, never wrong, never accountable, blah blah blah.
GG seems to step forward and fall back. She still has demons inside to conquer. Zero to 100. I do think this season was better but this reunion was focused on all the wrong stuff.
Wow, this was a great season! I’m glad the reunion was 2 parts, when it is 3 parts it’s overkill. I believe Paulina found a friend in Destiny and blabbed too much. It shows she probably doesn’t have any genuine female friendships and this was all she had. Destiny has an unnatural interest in Paulina and Mike, like she wants Paulina for herself. I disliked how Destiny kept going on about how she knew so much but she was keeping her mouth shut. I’ve been in that position and I’ve asked my friends partners to not tell me private details because I just don’t want to be involved. Why did Destiny so desperately need to be involved? Nema is right, either speak up or shut up. I always said Mike and Paulina deserve one another. I hope London is gone because all that “Babe” nonsense was super irritating. We need another Lilly on the show (remember her?), but a fun one who knows how to hang. Bring Shervin back full time. I’ll never stop watching this show!
Was Destiny not around with Jesica? That’s the only reason I could think of as to why she’s so much more invested than the rest of them with Paulina
Reza has always been a manipulative snake. Has he ever really apologized for his disgusting actions in season 8? He has a disgusting way of manipulating MJ into constantly apologizing (not sure what for), blaming his gross behavior on her. This all started because of Adam being a creepy pervert. Adam threw MJ under the bus too. Adam and Reza are not good people, I’ve never liked either of them. I’m happy they both admit that and no longer want to bring kids into it. If GG is going to be hostile to MJ why doesn’t she treat Reza the same? He was just as bad to her. I hope GG and MJ continue to bond. Motherhood looks great on them and it’s so awesome to see them thriving in their new role. Tommy is the best person on the show. I am 100% Team Tommy and to me his reaction was justified. Reza was probably even worse behind the scenes. London is boring and annoying… hope she doesn’t come back. I wish Shervin had a bigger role. Reza was poking Mike over and over, he is such a bad friend. One of the best parts of this season was when they went camping and it was wine vs zip line crew and Destiny and GG came out and started twerking while Reza in his ugly tracksuit screams “my girls”, then they pan to the Mike Sherv and Nema staring as these vacuous shallow narcissist weirdos. Pretty much summed it up.
Team MJ and Tommy all day! I like Nema and Shervin too. Hard pass on the rest of them! Hard pass yuck!
Reza and GG are bad Bad people and Destiny .. vomit!!
Malini, I agree: MJ, Tommy, Shervin, and Nema are watchable. The rest are a big mess.
I know Destiny seems excessive to a lot, but I see it a tad different. Destiny’s Dad is MIA on her Mom, I think Destiny is petrified that Paulina and her kids are going to get left penniless when Mike find the next pretty little thing and bolts. I think her antics are about trying to keep Paulina’s kids safe and happy.
The Shahs are not flexing wealth. They are flexing good credit.
Where was London on the reunion? She wasn’t even mentioned. Why?
London was a useless addition. After the 100th “Babe” I was done with her. I hope she’s not back in the new season.
I think she probably is the one they are looking to replace.
I hope the next cast is: Nema, MJ, bring back Tommy, bring back Shervin, and three new cast members. Bravo needs to clean house.
I don’t get why Reza and Adam are worshipped so much. Clearly they are Andy’s favorites and always are presented as perfect flawless saints regardless what they actually do. I don’t get it, get it, get it. I get serious Erika Jayne vibes from them.
FOR THE BILLIONTH TIME, Andy has nothing to do with this show. And he has very little input on the housewives shows. He is talent now and no longer works for Bravo in any sort of Bravo suits ways. He is an “executive producer” on the housewives shows only as a COURTESY. Is input is minimally acknowledged as a COURTESY.
