The cast is still in Cabo this week, minus GG. Reza, Lily and Asa are in the jacuzzi discussing if MJ is popping pills or not. MJ didn’t want anything to do with Asa after accusing her of being a pill popper so she went out to the club with the rest of the crew.

GG is working on her hair extension launch party. She definitely has a point to prove to her sister who doesn’t think GG does anything to help the business.

At breakfast Asa apologizes to MJ, but MJ doesn’t seem too accepting of her apology. MJ tells her don’t “sucker punch her with some baseless bullshit.” Go MJ!! They hug it out, but I’m not so sure this is over.

GG arrives at the venue of her party two hours before the party is suppose to start and a lot of things are not setup.

Mike rents a yacht for the Cabo crew. Lily orders a virgin margarita. Mike thinks she is uptight and needs to loosen up. Everyone is having fun on the boat, swimming. Then they sit down to eat and Lily begins talking about she thinks the back of her thighs are starting to sag because she is getting older. Is she serious. She is like 80 lbs soaking wet. Mike tells her there’s nothing wrong with her body, there’s something wrong in her head. I really enjoy Mike and he’s easy on the eyes too. Yummy.

GG is at the launch party and at first it seems people weren’t coming, but then things pick up. GG’s sister comes in and begins complaining about everything rather than saying how well GG did. She just always seems miserable. GG’s ex-boyfriend Alex also comes out to support. Omid get’s upset watching GG interact with her. Omid goes over and introduces himself to Alex and pretends to play it cool. Too bad he seemed a bit too interested in when Alex was leaving town. LOL. Finally her sister compliments GG and tells her she did an amazing job and she is proud of her. Maybe she’s not so bad after all.

Meanwhile, back in Cabo they are hitting one of my favorite nightclubs in Cancun, Mandala! I wish I were there with them. They are partying like rockstars and I am hating from my sofa. Ha ha. Lily is not having a good time of course. She doesn’t want to let her weave down because she doesn’t want to be unattractive. She is really a buzz kill like Mike said. In case you haven’t noticed a theme here, Mike is always right in my book. Lily finally leaves and the others don’t miss a beat they just continue partying.

Reza goes through her MJ’s purse and they find her driver’s license and reveal to the world that MJ is actually forty years old. Wowzers! They also come across a pill bottle in her purse and ask her what they are. MJ says they are her dog Pablo’s pills. So is MJ really a pill popping Persian or not?

This week Karen and Ramona visit Rene at her house. Rene fills them in on the drama that took place between she and Carla at Big Ang’s house. Karen and Ramona like the rest of us are surprised that Carla tried to pop off. But am I the only one that thinks Rene does a lot of talking and is all bark no bite? Hmmm.

Carla and her kids are enjoying the pool at her house. She then begins asking the children all types of questions about their dad and what goes on at his house.  The kids say they like being at his house and they seem happy. I totally understand making sure your kids are happy and everything is on the up and up when they are not with you, but do you think Carla is asking more for herself than the benefit of the kids?

Drita and Big Ang meet up with their dogs at the pet store. They discuss what happened with CArla and Rene. Ang thinks Rene handled herself well and doesn’t know what got into Carla. Big Ang tells Drita about her plans to have a Botox Bash. As if Big Ang needs anymore botox…really?

Carla, Big Ang and Drita head to Brighton Beach. Carla tells them Joe is still dating Raquel and claims she doesn’t care because she doesn’t want to be with Joe. Yeah right, like we believe that. Drita tells them her ex-husband Lee will be coming home in less than six months. Big Ang thinks Drita should give him another chance, although he cheated on her. Are these women doormats or what? Coincidentally, Lee calls right in the middle of their conversation. He wants Drita to bring their daughters to visit him in prison. Big Ang says when Lee called that is the happiest she has seen Drita. Do we think Lee and Drita will get back together?

Rene’s son AJ went to his grandfather’s hearing. Reports back to Rene that grandpa will only have to do 17 months in prison. Their grandpa doesn’t hold them responsible for Rene’s ex-husband being a rat. Rene is happy to hear that, but she still feels she needs a fresh start. She wants to move and AJ is okay with that decision.

Drita takes her daughters to the park to play a little soccer. She asks the girls how they feel about visiting their dad in prison. Aleeya, 9, says she definitely wants to go, but Giselle,3, doesn’t seem too interested.

Joe, Carla’s ex-husband and his new girlfriend Raquel go to shoot hoops. She asks Joe when he plans to tell Carla that she is moving into his house. Joe says he has to wait for the right time because of how Carla will react. Raquel jokes saying he seems a little scared and asks “should I be worried for you?” Am I the only one who thinks this girl looks like Carla a bit? Joe seems to have a specific type.

Karen is house hunting with Rene. Rene is not happy with any of the houses she is shown and frankly neither am I. None of these houses compare to the nice house she will be leaving. Rene is uncomfortable with windows, doors, basements, attics and so on. Give me a break. I know where she will feel safe…a nice white padded room!

Drita stops by the Drunken Monkey to visit Big Ang. Ang tells her she is not allowed to see her son AJ for 30 to 60 days while he is in rehab. Drita tells Ang she is looking for  a store front for her new makeup line “Just Me” and what another coincidence, there is a store available across the street from the Drunken Monkey. They walk across the street, Drita calls the number and tells them she will take the store. Really? Without even going inside? Come on MTV make this somewhat believable.

Joe tells Carla that Raquel will be moving in while pretending to be a concerned parent, Carla ends up looking like the jealous ex she is.

Next up, Big Ang’s botox bash! First to arrive are Romona, Love and Karen. Big Ang is excited for everyone to get “shots, shots, shots shots.” Rene pulls Love aside to make sure they don’t have any problems. Drita calls Ang to tell her she can’t make it because she has a toothache. She also tells Ang that Carla didn’t want to go because Drita wasn’t going. Rene tells Love and the other girls that the reason Carla didn’t come is because she has a problem with Love. I never heard Drita say that, but there’s Rene again stirring that pot. Apparently Carla is dating one of Love’s ex’s, but Love never had an issue with Carla…until now. Thanks Rene for keeping the drama going.

Rene receives a letter at home in her ex-husband Junior’s handwriting. They don’t give us the details on what the letter says this week, but stay tuned.

This week Miss NeNe has relocated to L.A. The house she is renting in Hollywood Hills is beautiful, but that furniture that Kenya let NeNe use out of her storage was hideous.

Kandi and her daughter Riley are baking a cake and Riley asks if she could move into the guest house when she becomes a teenager. Kandi shut that down quick. Btw I love Kandi’s hair this season with the swoop.

Kenya’s aunt and her cousin stop by. Her cousin says that she thought Walter was weird to begin with. She said Walter tried to talk to her years ago when she saw him around Atlanta. We all know that was a fake relationship anyway so moving on.

Phaedra and Apollo meet with Kenya to show her some of the workouts for the “Donkey Booty” workout video. The moves consisted of the “booty drop” and the “funky donkey.”

Phaedra does funky donkey

If anyone knows about a donkey booty, it would be Mrs. Parks. Do we remember the “swimwear” she wore in Anguilla? Kenya used Phaedra’s name to pitch the idea to some home video companies, which Phaedra considered a bit “presumptuous.” Kenya says the cost of the budget is coming in at $100k. Phaedra being an attorney, I hope she crosses her I’s and dots her T’s before going into business with Kenya. I don’t tend to trust delusional people. Jus sayin. This is clearly a case of beauty booty vs. brains.

Phaedra’s business attorney, Eric, meets with Phaedra, Apollo, Kenya and one of Kenya’s producers. Before Kenya and her producer enter, Eric tells Phaedra that Kenya’s budget was inflated by a substantial amount. According to Eric Kenya agreed with his suggestions for changes, but he has yet to receive a revised contract. Eric is listening outside the door. Kenya also wants 10% of the profits from the video. Kenya says she usually gets 50% and Phaedra asks “from who?” LOL. I love Phaedra. Now Kenya says she needs to talk to Apollo without Phaedra. Give me a break! Phaedra please send Miss Kenya on her twirling way!

phaedra

Kandi and Todd are out and about for his birthday. She first surprises him with a helicopter ride. Phaedra is at the venue for Todd’s party setting up and everyone arrives before Kandi and Todd. Kenya comes in and says she is surprised Phaedra is acting like nothing has happened between them regarding the video. Its a party not a business meeting. She needs to relax. There is a time and place for everything and clearly she has not learned that, even after Anguilla.

Todd and Kandi arrive and he is totally surprised to see his mother there. Good job Kandi! Now Kenya is asking Todd on his birthday about his conversation with Phaedra and Apollo regarding the “Donkey Booty” video. She is so ridiculous. I’m glad Kandi shut her down!

So Phaedra sent a random tweet asking for people to come to Cynthia’s Bailey Agency to cast for the “Donkey Booty” video. Apparently the tweet didn’t have any details so Cynthia canceled the casting. She wants her casting fee and rightly so. Kenya and Phaedra begin arguing about the money for the video. Kenya says she doesn’t want to do business with them and exits. I can’t wait to see what happens next week. Btw, when will this “Donkey Booty” video be available for purchase because I’m ready to support the cause?…Jus sayin.

@JusJamilah

Tahiry Jose a video vixen/model and Joe Budden are new to the Love & Hip Hop cast. They have not been together for four years, but Joe wants to try to see if they can work some things out…or so he says. When Tahiry meets him at the restaurant, he just wants to joke around. When he finally attempts to be serious, he starts insulting Tahiry. Tahiry flips the table and drinks go everywhere. One of the many parts of this scene that are unrealistic, was Tahiry rushing away from the table with her Louis Vuitton bag still on the back of the chair…not likely. Come on Mona they have to do better with the editing. LOL.

Yandy’s is pregnant by her long time boyfriend Mandisi. They are at her baby shower and it is starting to wind down. Mandisi says he has a party to attend so he is leaving. Yandi is upset because she wants him to help get the gifts home. He says she has people to help her. Was Mandisi (Mandeesee) wrong for leaving the party?

Erika and Rich Dollaz, Olivia’s manager, are a couple…Really? Last season Erika was known for being a fire cracker. He’s also managing her. Let’s see how long this love affair lasts.

Rashidah Ali is a known shoe consultant to the stars, perhaps she needs to put these stars on to some Hendrick Brun shoes. Rashidah is friends with Tahiry and feels she needs to let go of Joe. Rashidah tells Tahiry Joe has not changed and she needs to move on.

Now Joe is making it seem to Raqi like Tahiry was just acting crazy when she flipped the table because she is still in love with him. He is not telling Raqi that he wants to make amends with Tahiry. Joe then goes to Tahiry’s job to have a discussion about trying to at least be friends and take it from there.

Raqi meets Tahiry to find out what issues she has with her. Tahiry is tap dancing around the fact that she thought Raqi was sleeping with Joe when they were working together. Raqi says she never slept with Joe and Tahiry is just insecure. Do we believe Raqi slept with Joe?

Olivia, Rich and Erika meet up. Olivia is asking all types of questions. Erika’s music note tattoo in the shape of an “R” is a bit much, but hey it could represent many things, not necessarily “Rich” right? Things get heated and Erika gets up to leave. And after stirring the pot from the beginning, Olivia tells Rich he should go after her. Give me a break Olivia.

At Joe’s birthday pool party Joe has a bright idea to play truth or truth. Raqi is pushing Tahiry’s “buddens” so to speak. Tahiry finally has enough and ends up going after Raqi and hitting her in the face. Joe sides with Tahiry and has Raqi escorted out. Raqi is hurt that Joe sided with Tahiry, but like Tahiry said “what did she expect?”

This season looks like it is going to be drama filled and I will definitely be tuned in!

@JusJamilah

The new season begins and Kelly did not show up with her two daughters Paige and Brooke. Abby is of course furious and takes it out on the children. According to Abby “everyone is replaceable”, so why is she so upset?  Abby holds open auditions for new members of the dance team.

Kelly has a conversation with Paige and Brooke asking if they want to go back to the dance school. Brooke then flips the question and asks her mom if she wants to go back. Of course Kelly says no.

Abby announces that Kendall will get a solo this week. While working with Kendall, Abby tells her the other dancers who were trying out were a hundred times better than her. Kendall goes to her mom crying. Jill goes to talk to Abby to defend her daughter and ends up storming out. The competition this week is in Denver, Colorado. The new moms arrive and Abby chooses Ally to be the new dancer on the team. Since Ally is the tallest she has to take Chloe’s featured part in the group dance. Everyone is up in arms, but before they can prepare the pitchforks, Abby gives Chloe a solo in the competition. She also threatens to pull the group number if the girls don’t get it together. Holly confronts Abby to ask her if she is going to pull the group number because if so, she doesn’t want to travel all the way across the county if Nia is not going to dance. Abby does not give Holly a straight answer.

Abby meets with Shelly, the new dance mom. She seems like she is nice, but those other moms do know how to bring the claws out of anyone. The moms want Shelly to stand up to Abby and say she wants there to be a group dance. She eventually does talk to Abby.

Maddy’s solo was nice as always. Chloe did an amazing job on her solo and she looks like she has grown a couple of inches taller. Kendall’s solo was not very exciting. The group dance was fantastic. Ally did a great job as the angel. During Mackenzie’s solo her red bow flies out of her hair and Mackenzie forgets part of her dance. But she still manages to win first place. Good job Mackenzie! Kendall takes fifth place. Chloe gets second place. Maddy takes home the first place as usual.The group dance also gets first place. Abby should be proud of all of the girls, but we all know she will probably end up finding a reason to go all “maniac” on them.

@Jusjamilah

The ladies have returned from Anguilla and are back in Atlanta. NeNe decides to meet with Kenya. I’m glad NeNe is calling Kenya out on being delusional. Bottomline is “Walter is not that into you” [blonk]. LOL.

Cynthia and Kandi visit Porsha at her home, which is very nice. Cynthia asked how many bedrooms it has and Porsha can’t remember. Look at the foyer below.

Porsha tells Kandi she wants twins and she read about a village in Africa where the main part of their diet is yams and they have a large rate of twin births. Kandi suggests it could just be hereditary and Porsha hadn’t even considered that could be the reason for the abundance of twins. Go figure.  Kandi tells the ladies Todd has been talking about marriage. I hope he is for real, unlike Walter and Kenya.

Apollo and Phaedra meet with Kenya to discuss working with her production company on a “donkey booty” workout tape. In the beginning of the meeting Kenya is all business she actually sounds pretty intelligent. This is what I have been  waiting to see from her. But then she quickly disappoints yet again when she felt the need to discuss Phaedra and Apollo’s sex life. Kenya calls Phaedra unprofessional for debating details about the workout plan with Apollo in front of her, but she doesn’t think asking personal questions about their sex life is unprofessional? Hmmm ok. Why isn’t Phaedra checking Kenya on her nonsense?

Cynthia and Peter are in the grocery store and Peter sees a blog saying Phaedra and Apollo are heading to divorce. Cynthia mentions all she has heard about Apollo is that he goes to strip clothes often. She then asks Peter if he goes to strip clubs. Of course he does. Cynthia suggests they all go to the strip club together.

Kenya meeting Walter. Over it. We now all know is fake so I will not even give them anymore of my attention. Next!

Phaedra brings a Pastor to bless Kandi’s home. Phaedra feels the need to say “so this is the blessing, the next thing will be the wedding right Todd”. Todd quickly rebuts and says “I thought the housewarming was next”. I’m starting to like this guy. He has a good sense of humor. Phaedra begins discussing her issues with Apollo. Are these normal marital problems or do you think they are really heading for divorce?

Cynthia and Peter head to the strip club to meet Apollo and Phaedra. When they get inside there are old wrinkled, cellulite covered women dancing. Is that really a strip club? Cynthia chose the place so I’m sure it had to just be for laughs. The women were like 70 years old. Ewwwww. Apollo begins discussing his relationship with Phaedra and it doesn’t sound like everything is all roses.

NeNe has an photoshoot for Ebony magazine. She wears a dress adorned with dollar bills. NeNe has definitely come up since her start on the show.

Cynthia has a party at Bar One to debut her new PT Moscato wine. She looked beautiful in her tangerine dress, but the shoes didn’t do the dress justice. Perhaps a pair of Jaden or Lane by Hendrick Brun would have looked better.

At the party Porsha approaches Kenya to discuss their issue, but Kenya wants no parts of the conversation so she quickly dismisses Porsha. Porsha’s husband Kordell said she apologized enough and should move on. Do you agree? Once again the blog rumors of Apollo and Phaedra getting divorced comes up. They both defend their marriage and make a statement by giving each other a very sloppy tongue kiss. Was that all for show?

@JusJamilah

This week  GG is upset about something…what a surprise. Her problem this week is that Asa went out with her friend Omid and now she is upset because she feels no one should talk to “her” friend behind her back. What are they in high school? Come on GG stop trying to find fault with others and take a good look at the role you played in all the drama. GG’s temper is out of control and everyone is tired of her flying of the handle and getting violent.

Reza’s meets his mom for lunch and she is not shy about giving her son advice on everything including his mustache, going into business with Mike and his friendship with MJ. Mom says he should make up with MJ. Mom also tells him its time to forget about partying, save money and put the Gucci shoes away. Lol.

Lilly has given her boyfriend Ali an ultimatum that he must move to L.A. by the new year or she will not wait around for him anymore. Does anyone believe her? I don’t really think she is ready to move on. In the meantime it is just her and her cute dog coconut.

MJ is having a birthday party and she calls GG to tell her she is not invited. MJ feels to maintain her friendship with Reza and Mike, she needs to distance herself from GG. We all knew this wouldn’t go over well with GG. Of course GG gets upset saying she has always had MJ’s back and for her not to invite her is wrong. What do you think? Was MJ wrong not to invite GG to her birthday party? MJ also made a request in her evite to have her friends bring her eligible bachelors as birthday gifts. I think I’m going to have to make the same request when my birthday comes around.

MJ’s friends and family meet at her house and the “gifts” were introduced, but one in particular caught MJ’s eye. George, the Persian version of Drake the rapper. They even call him Drizzy as a nickname, too funny! Can you tell which one he is?

Reza goes to GG’s house and they finally hug and make up. Omid takes GG out to dinner and GG admits to wanting to see where their relationship goes. Well that makes two of us.

Next week the crew will be in Mexico. I can’t wait to tune in.
