Season 5 Discussion

I'm not sure about the timing of everything. I couldn't follow it during the show. Were the text messages old messages prior to their wedding that he just kept or were they new from after the wedding or a combination of both? It's all a mess. Bottom line: before, during and/or after Mike is a cheater and that is never going to change. I think the next we will hear from him is that he is a "sex addict" and just can't help himself. I would feel sorry for Jessica EXCEPT she had plenty of warnings before she married him. When the man's best friends tell you he's a horn dog and unlikely to ever change, believe them. They both went into this marriage for reasons other than building a long, happy life together, I believe. Mike has something to prove that he thought marriage would prove and Jessica wanted a wedding and to be a Mrs. 

Jessica told Reza that the texts go back to before they got engaged and continued into their marriage, so it was both.

I think Jessica thought/believed that Mike would change once they were married and like a lot of other women they learn the hard way that a cheater rarely changes, married or not. She had already given up so much of herself, changed not only her religion and her physical appearance but her lifestyle for him that I think she lied to herself so that she didn't have to admit she was fooled by him from the get go. Jessica made mistakes as well but the marriage failing is all on Mike at this point, not on her.

[WireWrap]

Here is an interview that Mike/Reza gave on Bravo about the cheating. Again, on this he admits to it but on WWHL tonight with Andy, he claims it happened before they were even engaged. http://www.bravotv.com/shahs-of-sunset/season-5/episode-11/videos/after-show-mike-on-why-he-finally-admitted-to-cheating

[HunterHunted]

I think GG is a mess, but are we really going to two seasons of GG saying something, everyone disbelieving her, and it will prove to be true. All last season, she'd tell anyone with ears that Mike was a cheater who was never going to change and now...we know it to be true. Actually, I was surprised that she'd blow up her sister's spot when she revealed that Mike and her sister hooked up either before or after his engagement party.

[ninjago]

OMG I can't believe Reza called Jessica to check-out Mike's story.  These people take meddling to a whole other level.  Don't Jessica and Reza hate each other?  

Frankly, they can miss me with this brand new, shocked shit about Mike cheating.  He's been a dog all along and, frankly, other than Asa, I wouldn't be surprised to hear that any of these people were unfaithful.

Someone needs to sew Reza's mouth shut.

Yes, I thought Reza and Jessica hated each other. Reza needs to stop with all his concern about getting them back together. And Jessica, honey, you were warned by GG about Mike before the wedding but you chose not to believe her. In fact, an entire season was based on that.  I thought Jessica hated ALL of them, some were not even invited to the wedding and some (MJ) chose not to attend.  I guess all is supposed to be forgotten once a new season begins. 

Now we know why MJ wasn't so broken hearted about the breakup with Tommy. Complete fabricated storyline. Tommy packs up and leaves, Tommy doesn't answer her calls, Tommy shows up to Belize. Surprise!! 

This looks like a really boring trip. I'm sure there is more to do in Belize besides eat Ceviche, stand in the pool and get a massage. 

[Bronzedog]

I found the Tommy/MJ pool photo shoot repulsive.  Also, Reza?  Aren't you married to a white person?  Does he play Jewel music when you're having sex?  You flaming a-hole.

So Mike admits to cheating on Jessica after their wedding in the episode then changes up the story on WWHL tonight. He told Andy tonight that he cheated on Jessica before they got engaged but never after their engagement or their wedding. Lying sack of shit!

Yeah girl any way you slice it, lying sack of shit is the conclusion.  I think the inconsistencies are because he can't/didn't agree with Jess' definition of cheating.  In his mind it's not possible to even be a cheater unless you're married.   I'm shaking my head hard at Mike.  You mean you been a ho for this long and haven't tightened up the game?  Bruh.  You got got by a pop-up on the laptop though?  What are you even doing having jump off conversations on any instrument other than a burner throwaway?  Lol.  Amateur. 

Sure Reza is nosy and messy but Jessica kept talking to him.  He was her conduit to get all the trifling details of the affair(s) heard on camera.   I hear what ya'll are saying about the warning signs beforehand but I also get why she didn't listen.   The chief carrier of that message was a woman who'd wanted Mike for years and had been acting funky towards her since they'd met.   As far as his friends go, they also treated her like an intruder and from her perspective, they didn't want to "lose" a fellow bro.  Every woman who thinks she might be the Yoko knows the rest of the band is gonna say what they need to to run you off.   What she should've been studying was his behavior, his treatment of her and his habits.   That always on the phone thing?  N'uh uh.  Nobody is that damn busy that they can't have dinner without their phone being out on the table, at their fingertips or within sight the whole time.  We saw their first date, it wasn't that serious.  He gave himself up behaviorally, message checking and texting suddenly became really critical.  Nevermind anybody else, the mistake she made was not listening to herself.

I'm glad MJ's happy but I never want to see another ass munching on my tv screen again. 

Speaking of asses.  I know what ya'll said lol but, Asa had some work done.   That was not a super prominent donk before and if it came from squats or hell, any other exercise she wouldn't be fluffy in several other spots.  Zolciak body.  Chunk recognize chunk.

My neighbor has RA and has chemo treatments. I think she takes a pill, though. 

Its not really chemo...The pill is probably old school Methotrexate and that is used as chemo drug for cancer but when taken for arthritis, its taken differently and not considered chemo. 
 I think Gigi is getting a dose of Remicade next week in IV form to....it is not considered chemo but she can call it that if she wants...it is serious, heavy duty stuff

These people are getting too old to be a "crew" or "the gang" anymore. Especially Reza. I'm noticing Asa trying to downplay the drama she's involved in more and more every season. I cannot with MJ, never could, even when she was the darling of fans. She's even more unappealing now. Gross, thirsty and oh so convinced she's just the qweutestwittlething! Barf. Vida, come get your girl.

GG ... I've always had a spot for her. She's her own worst enemy. For all she does, it's invariably always her who gets hurt by it.

I bet the resort owners were just thrilled to see that and them carrying glassware around the pool.

[Neurochick]

I think Reza's hounding of Mike was totally producer driven; though I get why Reza was so invested.  Last season Jessica didn't want Mike hanging around the group and I wondered if Mike was going to quit the show.  This season Jessica looks like she's friends with the group and Mike is on the outs.  They're all famewhores to me.

[IvyDancer]

Reza honestly makes me sick - all of his pretense about pointing out other peoples' flaws and being the quickest to the draw wrt snark is so disgusting. "Is that…oh I recognize that beer belly!" Look dude, far be it for me to discuss this, but you are one despicable piece of trash who, with your striking resemblance to Saddam Hussein, would be anyone's absolute last pick for sexiest man alive. SO STOP FLINGING INSULTS LIKE YOUR RAMSAY BOLTON!

And this from someone who essentially despises all people on this show. So that's saying a lot. 

[tumamita]

Asa's photo shoot was a barf-fest.

Mike is so defensive for the obvious reason - he's probably ashamed of being a cheater and having it out there for the world to see. I wonder what his family thinks. I wonder if GG was telling the truth...

[Willowsmom]

Say what your will about GG but unlike Asa and MJ, both of whom would have spent the whole day being massaged or in the pool stuffing their faces, she went and did the healthy, adventurous thing.

Belize has some of the best diving in the world. It has cool beaches and chill little beach towns. I do not understand why they are staying in the middle of the jungle doing nothing but eating. It's so weird and boring.

My best guess would be $$.

Bravo probably got really low rates since they were not near water/diving/beaches.

Also when was this filmed? If it was in the off season or close to turn around time the discounts would have been 

very attractive for filming (flights, accomodations, meals for both cast and crew).

[SuzWhat]

Shervin was not buying ANYTHING Mike was trying to sell during the "did you cheat on Jessica?"  convo.  The look on his face was kind of like Robert Kardashian's when OJ was acquitted.  Stunned disbelief. I'm living for it.  

[HunterHunted]

You are not the only one offended by his comments, but it's par for the course because Reza is a disgusting trash person.

[escape]

In the end, Jessica was smart to used Reza to out Mike.  She always hated Reza, but he is good for being a snake, a busy body.  And he definitely is someone who relishes in other people's misery.

I hate to mention this, but wtf was with Reza's comment about cerviche.

I am so sick of these bravo-lebrities (such as brandi glanville and more recently bethany frankel) talking about the "smell". Why is this appropriate, or funny? every time i hear it i am so offended. Why is this common disucssion, and on tv, by 40 year olds? and WOMEN!???? 

am i the only one who is offended by this? I am actually even uncomfortable talking about it here, anonymously. enough already, it is NOT funny, it is NOT accurate, it is NOT appropriate. 

You're not the only one tired of gay men making a "fish", "vagina", and "icky women!" comparison.

[ExplainItAgain]

Just caught up. Mike is so shady. I wish "players" wouldn't cave to (societal? parental?) pressure of getting married, having a family, etc if they aren't ready. Mike had no intention of staying faithful - he's a horndog. What's scary is how convincing he can be to some people. I'm glad Jessica discovered the truth before she had kids with Mike. I hope she truly believes and didn't convert just for him. That said, she's still a shrew and I hope this means she's off my TV screen for good.

I hope those pictures they showed that Asa took weren't the best ones....because, well, Asa, you are no photographer.

Yikes.   His charges as an entire composite are a nope.  Damn her for giving Mike a reason to say I might be a lot of things, but I'm not this guy.   I don't think times are this tough.

"forcible" rape?   Sigh.  Is there another kind?  That's like saying intentional breathing.

An altercation between Reza and GG lowlights a trip to the Mayan ruins.  Also: A remorseful Mike tries to win his wife back; GG engages in a drastic health regimen, shocking her inner circle; and Reza courageously returns to the comedy stage.

[Polliwollidoodle]

I watched a mini marathon today- it looks like I got up to this one. I havent seen their last few seasons I think though I know I have seen some. Anyway I was actually enjoying this season (maybe absence makes the heart grow fonder?). I actually felt bad for both Mike and Jessica this time around and was shocked that Tommy showed up.  I find MJ very puzzling- I like her but I too am just amazed at how she dresses and carries herself. She seems pretty real and actually kind for the most part- but this Tommy thing does not seem like a match to me. I wonder if it is still at the lust  or infatuation stage. Cause they really don't seem to be a match to me. As in Mike and Jessica seem like way more of  a match to me and look where that one is heading. oh well

[announcergirl]

I like how MJ dresses. She's a bigger girl who doesn't hide in baggy clothes. She beautiful. I think her boobs are out no more than any others except Asa. 

[Trixie Belden]

So, now we know that GG is Shervin's beard and Nima is GG's babysitter.  

Also GG, you wouldn't be nauseous during your first round of chemo, especially at the super low dose given for RA.  She is a perfect case of Munchausen's.

[ExplainItAgain]

Yeah, I am done with this show if it comes back next season. These people are exhausting.

[HunterHunted]

I think MJ and Tommy make sense together. Tommy calls her on her bullshit in a non Vida or Reza way. It's also clear he adores her even when she's being crazy.

Did GG have a 2 bed cabana all to herself? Why, other than the obvious reasons, would Shervin and Nima share a 1 bed cabana for the entire trip?

I don't care if the crowd at the J Spot laughed at Reza's little Erykah Badu crack. Reza is not funny. I'm glad that the editors made sure to show actual funny people before Reza's dismal set. Reza is never funny.

No doubt GG's smoking and drinking are doing her no favors in her treatment of her RA, but I hope tonight closes the questioning of whether or not she has RA. After last season of OC and all of the questions about Crooks' cancer, I can't deal with another round of that shit especially from these insufferable assholes.

Amen to all of that.  Reza is not funny.  Swearing every other word does not make you funny.  Even the poor little dog fell asleep.  Not funny.

GG is a drama queen but that doesn't mean she's faking it.  She has RA.  As for her not smoking or eating better, her life, her choices.  She's definitely gotten her way her entire life, so no one is going to tell her now how to act or live her life.  Last thing you want to hear when you're sick, you should've done this or that.  I know I was pissed off royally when I got sick before Christmas (pink eye both eyes, sinus infection, ear infection both ears, and upper respiratory infection - not quite to bronchitis) when relatives told me, you need to take better care of yourself and you needed to go to the doctor days ago.  Yeah, I was sick and I didn't need a lecture right then and there.  I just wanted to take my meds and crawl into bed.  I understood GG a little; she is clearly scared, tired, and she just wanted to go home - not listen to Asa or her family lecture her at that time.  Why does anyone of the "crew" care anyhow?  It's between GG and her doctor.  The end.

[Sun-Bun]

Is this season over yet? Is this entire SHOW over yet?? I'm always shocked that I keep watching this trash, but it's like a bad habit for me at this point---I find no one redeemable among this entire cast, except Asa, who seems like a genuinely caring, creative soul and a model friend/family-member.

The rest of these aging losers just depress the shit out of me, much like the cast of "Vanderpump Rules", although at least that cast is more interesting to watch due to their own delusions of coolness. This group just gets more pathetic with each season. I can't decide between the trio of Mike, MJ or GG as to who's the most pathetic of this bunch, but I'm thinking it's likely GG at this point. Her life just seems so damned sad and pointless to me: sleep til the afternoon, go find people to lunch/shop with, then go out and get shit-faced at clubs almost every night? Then dealing with chronic pain too?? Just seems fairly sad and lonely, especially considering how she can't seem to have a healthy relationship.

On that note, I'm rooting for MJ and Tommy---they seem goofily happy with each other and I hope they can make it last.

Please, please, NO MORE comedy routines for Reza...that's really stretching a plot out beyond even my own boundaries of believability.

Edited July 11, 2016 by Sun-Bun

[charmed1]

I'm jealous that these trashy people got to climb the ruins. I visited the Mayan ruins in Mexico, but we were only allowed to look at the temples, not climb them. What was the big deal about GG being hungover anyway? She wasn't as fast as the rest of group, but she didn't slow them down and she eventually made it to the top. Reza, screaming and cursing at a historical/holy site was all kinds of embarrassing. I fast forwarded through his "comedy" routine. 

I see GG's dad is still holding on to his Oldies Rock DJ ponytail. GG's really lucky to have the parents she has. Ain't no way I would be screaming at my mother like that and expect to have teeth that still resided in my mouth.
