Our deepest apologies to the people of Iceland for whatever epic disaster ensued when The Real Housewives Of Orange County descended upon their fair country. For viewers at home, the trip is just beginning though! And Lydia McLaughlin is pretending to be excited about the adventures awaiting them. She’s also making sure to plug her magazine a whole lot, as it’s the impetus for the trip (in theory).
Lydia gushes, “This week’s episode we gear up for Iceland! We get offered a lot of press trips because of NOBLEMAN Magazine, so when we were offered a trip to Iceland we had to make it happen. I have heard so much about Iceland and seen so many great photos. Doug was too busy with our upcoming deadline so I was excited to go represent for NOBLEMAN. We figured if we like it, we could send a writer and photographer and do a big feature for NOBLEMAN.” Hey, you guys – did you catch the name of Lydia and Doug’s magazine? It’s NOBLEMAN!!!
If the women of RHOC aren’t okay with Lydia’s sparkle, they can stay off her rainbow! Because she’s about as jazzed for this trip as Vicki is when throwing herself a birthday party. Lydia writes in her blog, “I was really excited to take the ladies on a group trip and to create fun, bonding moments and just celebrate life together on an adventure out of our comfort zones.”
Before the trip was announced, everyone had to make it through Meghan Edmonds’ psycho psychic dinner, at which Lydia and Shannon Beador went at it again. But it was really Peggy Sulahian who was Shannon’s main sparring partner that night; Lydia just played backup.
Lydia explains her frustrations: “Obviously Shannon and I have had a rough go at a real friendship. I was frustrated with her and the way she treated Peggy. I felt like Shannon had prepared a speech for the whole Diko and David drama, but nowhere in her monologue was there concern for Peggy.”
Long sigh. At this point, it seems like Lydia and Shannon are never going to see eye to eye. And am I the only one feeling like Shannon is losing her grip on reality/sanity in a very real and sad way lately? She’s a housewife I really want to root for, but her coming unhinged this season (in a more dramatic and drastic way than ever before) is not compelling TV viewing. It’s just…disturbing.

But Lydia sees Shannon’s behavior as just plain bizarre and uncalled for. She argues that “Diko and Peggy have gone through a lot and perhaps David’s questioning was just conversation. But calmly say that and apologize for the misunderstanding and MOVE ON. Why is she going to the bathroom to convene with Tamra [Judge] and scream and cuss. Being ‘expressive’ just isn’t cutting it anymore.”
Hoping that everyone gets along in Iceland seems like and adult writing Christmas list to Santa at this point. As in: You can wish for it all you want, but elfin magic won’t make it happen!
Tonight, the RHOC gang touches down in Iceland for their multi-episode adventure. Will Vicki get rushed to the Emergency Room within minutes of landing? Will Kelly Dodd get her tongue stuck to a frozen window pane? Will Shannon’s screaming start an avalanche? And will Peggy even know where the hell she is?!?!?
Join us here in the comments to dish on all of the madness!

Netflix subscribers have a lot to be thankful for in November 2017. On Monday, the company announced which titles will be available for streaming beginning Nov. 1. Netflix will also...The reunion venues for the Shahs of Sunset are getting bigger and so are the accusations. We barely make it through Andy Cohen greeting everyone before the gloves come off, or as Asa Soltan Rahmati observes, the Uzis come out. Asa was of course, a big, pregnant target this season and even in the glow of new motherhood, her cast mates aren’t about to let her off the hook. Even Vida, who usually likes to reserve her most blistering commentary for her own daughter, comes for Asa and trust me when I say her Uzi was fully loaded for that exchange.
Before we go there, I feel like I’m sitting down with a totally different cast than what I saw this season – long gone are any blonde highlights from Mercedes “MJ” Javid and Golnesa “GG” Gharachedaghi. Instead, their hair is dyed as black as their little hearts. Another thing that’s gone is Reza Farahan’s mustache, along with 43 pounds, to be exact. Mike Shouhed and Shervin Roohparvar are bringing the 90s back, with Mike’s emo eyeliner and Shervin’s slicked back little ponytail with the sides shaved.
Andy, always starting with a fluffy, yet colossally shady question, asks everyone to raise their hands if they have had work done. When MJ’s hand stays stubbornly at her side, Andy asks her incredulously how she hasn’t had work done. MJ huffily says that’s something she doesn’t feel like she has to address, and Andy points out the hypocrisy of her accusing Asa of not being transparent all season. Yeah, but it’s different, MJ argues. You know, because it’s about her body confidence and dealing with mean people on the internet, like she’s the only one subjected to it. Asa, senses weakness and jumps in, asking MJ if her lips are real because she knows people she went to high school with that would say otherwise. Sigh. MJ is floating on an island of denial and we are worried about whether or she can admit her lips are real? Focus, Shahs!
But since Asa spoke up, now would be a great time for Andy to ask her about her new motherhood, which she describes as both magical and super hard. That’s fair – it’s a lot like being high and coming down at the same time and I guess it’s nice to know even Asa can admit that it’s not ALL magic. I was a little worried she would pull a Lisa Wu and say that having a baby is energizing or something. So, when can we see some pictures of the little bundle of joy? Not anytime soon since Jermaine is against sharing his child publicly and Asa wants to respect that. She may be on a reality TV show but her man’s wishes for privacy come first, if that makes any sense.
Andy wants to know if she thought she was being demanding this season with her pregnancy at all and Mike and Reza graciously jump in and answer for her, saying they think she was rightfully demanding in her pregnancy. Despite this little life preserver thrown to her, Asa isn’t willing to let go of Mike’s line of questioning at the start of the season, when he asked her about why she and Jermaine had been together all these years and still haven’t gotten married.
You see, when Mike said that, he also threw in the not so insignificant statement that Jermaine is black and in Persian culture, dating outside of your race is a big deal. Asa feels like just the fact that Mike is bringing up Jermaine being black, when everyone else is in an interracial relationship with a non-black person, is issue enough but no one else can seem to grasp her point. Personally, I think Asa’s point is that if Mike wanted to know why they have been together for so long and not gotten married, why didn’t he just ask that, minus any mention of race? Which is a completely valid point. But valid points on Shahs are about as good Mike’s baby shoe line – not really necessary to anyone and just a big waste of time.
Mike goes into full defense mode, saying Asa is as fake and phony as they come and Asa counters with the fact that Mike had his ex-wife convert to Judaism just to cheat on her. How ‘bout them apples?! Mike does apologize, saying he never meant to offend her family and Asa accepts, but goes on to call the whole thing “casual racism,” prompting MJ to randomly and very casually be offended.
Moving onto the Israel trip, Andy points out how historic it is that the Shahs are the first Bravo cast to travel as a whole to Israel and that seems a tad over-dramatic but OK, Andy, have your moment in history.
We start with how offended GG was that Reza said “eff Iran” before their trip and he maintains that as a gay man that would be stoned to death in the streets of Iran for being open about his sexuality, no one has any right to tell him what he can and can’t say on the matter. Of course everyone is still going to try, with Shervin jumping in to say that the KKK doesn’t approve of his life choices either but that wouldn’t give Reza the right to say “eff America.” Oh, Shervin, you sweet little pony-tailed man child, your comparisons are best left for the comments section of some random corner of the internet and one can’t help but feel like Shervin is as out of touch as his new haircut with that statement. Reza explains that the KKK doesn’t run America and if it did, he would most certainly say eff this place too.
I also have a hard time understanding why everyone is so offended that Reza would make such a random statement like “eff Iran” when they would all dress up and attend the cultural offense-fest that was his “Peace in the Middle East” party at the start of the season! But sigh, why do I try to make sense of Shahs? They talk more about the trip but the only additional part worth mentioning is the behind the scenes footage of them all getting kicked out of dinner as the restaurant owner goes apes**t and yells at them that he’s not a chump.
When we come back from commercial, Vida and Tommy Feight, my new favorite person on this show, have joined us and the cast gives them a warm welcome, which I’m assuming is mostly directed at Tommy. Andy asks MJ point blank what she was smoking when she decided to move into the same condo complex as her mother and MJ mumbles something about her father’s health.
We get to relive the epic fight between MJ and Tommy about their decision to have kids and for once, MJ is reflective in a mature and well-thought out manner. She realizes in seeing that episode how much Tommy loved her to put up with her being so irrational about the whole thing. Vida still isn’t ready to become a grandmother, which is no change from the last reunion, all because she doesn’t think MJ realizes what a 24/7 responsibility a baby is. I think that’s a fair statement given that MJ can’t even be bothered to clean her own feet on a regular basis but as a grown adult, that’s her own cross to bear. Reza thinks Vida is projecting her own experience of motherhood on MJ and we find out that’s pretty accurate with Vida’s admission that her pregnancy with MJ was not planned. Goodness, that is quite the bomb to drop on a reunion couch!
But that’s nothing compared to the bomb that Vida drops next: she likes Tommy. Jaws drop across the couches as she tells them all how Tommy always cooks her exotic food and they walk their dogs together. Tommy promises everyone that Vida is hilarious. Ha! Hilarious as GG’s knife collection, maybe. When Vida says if MJ doesn’t marry Tommy, she will, Andy almost falls out of his seat but manages to stay in there to ask her who has changed for the better and the worse this season. Vida says Mike has changed for the better, thanks to how much he has calmed down.
For the worst, Vida holds nothing back and says Asa is ungrateful to the show when she came here with nothing and it gave her everything. She also points to how Asa says she doesn’t even watch it and if anyone criticizes her, she claims they are jealous. The second the segment is over, Asa whines to Andy that they brought Vida out to sh** on her but Andy doesn’t even indulge her in her self-importance, citing that she just told the world that her own daughter was a mistake.
Destiney Rose, who I forgot all about AGAIN, joins us and tells us about how she went from criticizing Mike’s marriage on The People’s Couch to an actual cast member. Despite the sexual tension everyone is picking up on with her relationship with Mike, Destiney maintains that she would destroy him instead of date him, whatever that means. Destiney doesn’t strike me as much of a man eater, or I guess not much of anything at all since she’s bringing nothing to the table here.
Somehow, Destiney denying she would ever want to get with one of her cast mates brings us to Shervin and his relationship with the Blunder from Down Under, Annalise. Shervin is now claiming that he never cheated on her, but was rather in and open relationship that Annalise was fully aware of, but didn’t want everyone to know about. So he took the cheater wrap, rather than out the fact that his girlfriend was cool with him sleeping with other people. You know what, I actually believe this. Annalise didn’t really seem to care when MJ mentioned cheating rumors and when they “broke up,” she could barely manage a frown out of her lip injections. It seems possible that they thought it would be easier to deny cheating rumors rather than admit their relationship is more for a story line than anything. As proof, Shervin pulls up his iPad with Annalise on FaceTime and she says it would be foolish of her to expect him to remain faithful to her when they are in a fake relationship she lives half way across the world. No one believes them and MJ was actually so annoyed during this whole exchange, she walked off stage to much on a pickle and pass the time.
When MJ comes back, we have to talk about her whole beef with Asa this season and why she insisted on using the phrase “bastard child” to refer to Asa’s baby and babies born out of wedlock. MJ refuses to back down from her statement under the guise that the word is accurate by definition but she had no malicious intend behind it.
Because Asa knows she will get nowhere fast with MJ and doesn’t even want to waste her time, she decides her bone to pick is with Reza for not defending her when MJ was saying those things. Especially when MJ did it at their lunch at the Dead Sea in front of everyone. Reza tries in vain to explain that he was so floored that Asa admitted she froze her eggs, after her had been keeping that secret for so long, that he couldn’t possibly switch gears to defending her from MJ’s statements in that moment. Sounds like a pretty lame excuse if you ask me but now we are deep in the weeds, getting completely lost in egg freezing and IVF when we are supposed to be talking about why calling your friend’s kid a bastard is something you should defend.
Andy finally moves on to how Asa’s pregnancy came to be, asking her if she can understand why the Shahs might assume she did IVF when she admits she froze all male embryos and then ends up having a baby boy. Sigh, I hate to break it to everyone but it’s really not all that magical that Asa ended up having a boy through a natural pregnancy. It is a 50/50 chance after all! Asa tries to dance around it but when Andy insists, she admits that she can see why everyone is suspicious but insists she only did IVF as insurance and ended up conceiving naturally, mostly because she wanted to try for a girl on her own since she didn’t have any female embryos.
Andy wants to know who on this couch believes that Asa conceived naturally. Mike immediately says he does, while MJ, Shervin, and GG admit that they don’t believe it and we are left with just Reza, whose answer will be dragged out until next week’s conclusion to the reunion. We have that to look forward to, plus Shalom makes a surprise appearance, causing GG to use her acting skills and ask for the paramedics. Will you guys be watching?

When there's something strange, like a Demogorgon, in the neighborhood, who are you going to call? Eleven! Stranger Things season two premieres on Friday, Oct. 27, more than a year...The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast came together this weekend to celebrate and support their co-star Dorit Kemsley.
The cast, including Camille Grammer, Erika Jayne, Lisa Rinna, Lisa Vanderpump, Kyle Richards and more attended the Dorit Kemsley Preview Event For Beverly Beach By Dorit at The Trunk Club in Culver City. Dorit shared on Instagram, “It’s been five years since my last collection. This is my return!”
From what you can see in the photos, it looks like this particular group of the cast is getting along. It’s like a housewives miracle! Also, it has us super excited about the upcoming season of Beverly Hills. It cannot get here soon enough!

Bebe Neuwirth has left the (State Department) building. The actress announced her exit from CBS's Madam Secretary on social media in a series of tweets after the Sunday, Oct. 22 episode of the...To put it mildly, Kameron Westcott has not had the best reception from Real Housewives of Dallas fans. So it’s sadly not surprising that Andy Cohen asked “Does Kameron think she is better than everyone else?” during an audience poll on Watch What Happens Live. Hopefully watching this season back will allow Kameron to get it together if she returns next season, but she doesn’t seem to be fazed by the criticism.
Maybe the reunion will be a different story though. Joining Kameron on the show was fellow RHOD newbie D’Andra Simmons and they had a lot to say about Cary Deuber and Mark Deuber’s marriage and Brandi Redmond of course.
For the record, ninety percent of viewers voting said “yes” when asked if Kameron thinks she’s better than everyone else. Nevertheless, Kameron still said, “I hope no one thinks that. I don’t think I’m better than anyone else.” Well, ninety percent of voters think that. For Kameron’s sake, I hope she’s not checking out the RHOD hashtag on Monday nights because a lot of people get that vibe. Maybe Kameron will have a Camille Grammer-esque turnaround if she’s back for a second season.
Andy asked D’Andra and Kameron about their thoughts on “Brandi’s behavior in public.” He wanted to know if she’s “trying to be funny or does she cross the line.” Without hesitation or any sense of awareness, Kameron said, “Cross the line.” D’Andra admitted, “I think she’s funny, but she does cross the line.”
Things really got interested when Andy asked about “Mark giving Cary a tough time because she wants to quit work and spend more time with her daughter” and if he “should be more supportive.” D’Andra said, “Yes. If my husband ever talked to me like that, we would not be married.” Damn. I bet her phone is blowing up with texts from Cary after that one, but then again I don’t blame her for saying it. Plenty of viewers were thinking the same thing. Kameron didn’t go that far, but she did agree with about the need to be “more supportive.”
Andy kept the questions coming. He asked D’Andra and Kameron, “What are your thoughts on everyone saying Stephanie [Hollman] kisses Brandi’s ass. Is she a different person when she’s around Brandi?” Kameron said, “Yes.” D’Andra theorized, “They’re two cheerleaders. One Dallas Cowboys cheerleader and one cheerleader for Brandi.” She did make sure to add, “I love Stephanie, but she’s a cheerleader.” Kameron threw in, “Totally different away from Brandi, yeah.”
When asked if they felt like they got hazed as the new girls, D’Andra turned to Kameron and said, “I feel like you got hazed for sure. No one hazes me.” Kameron said, “I mean, I think I got hazed by Brandi quite a few times. For sure.” And the social media users. I’m sure some haters have been tough on Kameron via Instagram and Twitter.
Andy asked about their reaction to LeeAnne Locke saying “Cary’s husband Mark gets his d sucked at the round up.” Kameron said, “It’s so ridiculous. I just had to laugh.” Really? This is the one thing that Kameron actually laughs at? She hasn’t cracked a smile at a single joke, but she finds this to be funny? D’Andra explained, “It’s none of my business or LeeAnne’s business or anyone’s business. Whatever they want to do with their marriage is their business.” Andy categorized her response by saying, “it’s continuing the rumor.” D’Andra followed up with, “I am sorry about the whole situation. I hope it’s not true and I don’t know the answer to the question.”
A viewer wondered if D’Andra and Kameron “believe that Cary had an affair with her husband now while she was the nanny.” Kameron said, “I don’t think it’s my business. I really don’t care about whatever happened. I love them both.” D’Andra said, “I plead the fifth,” before sharing, “I feel like everything is really suspect, but at the same time I’ve known Cary for like twelve years or something and I was not around during the time she was involved with Mark. I don’t care. They’re happily married. Whatever. It’s fine with me.”
D’Andra was asked if “Kameron has overreacted a lot this season to what others take at a joke.” D’Andra said, “No because that’s Kameron’s personality. I think it’s fabulous.” As much as I live for D’Andra, she is definitely in the minority on that one.
TELL US – SHOULD MARK BE MORE SUPPORTIVE OF CARY? DOES STEPHANIE KISS BRANDI’S ASS? DOES KAMERON THINK SHE’S BETTER THAN EVERYONE ELSE?

It’s Monday morning, so you know what time it is! Time to grab that cup of coffee and relish in the fact that you are not one of the poor souls featured on 90 Day Fiance. This week, we meet Josh and Aika, who is giving me strong whiffs of Anfisa with her expectations and no-nonsense talk of Josh “providing” for her. Molly’s bartender-fiance, Luis, arrives from the Dominican Republic, much to the chagrin of Molly’s eldest daughter, Olivia. Bonus: Luis wastes no time in calling his bride-to-be “chubby.” He’s a smooth talker, this one.
Nicole and May spend their first days in Morocco with Azan. And I need TLC camera crews to have eyes on that sweet baby AT ALL TIMES! Because they are the only thing standing between her and disaster. For real. Elizabeth gets ready to travel to Ireland to meet her bad-news boyfriend, Andrei (that is, if he can tear himself away from dancing IG live sessions). Lastly, teenage bride Evelyn welcomes David to New Hampshire, deciding to scare the sh*t out of him with her terrible driving right away while her dad sits in the backseat, praying. David will be thrilled to know that he is being dropped off at a creepy pastor’s house right after this! (Note: No update on Thailand David and Annie this week. He’s probably busy scraping sidewalks for loose change to buy a half-dead ox or something…)
In Georgia, Molly is getting her youngest daughter ready to go to the airport and getting her own makeup done by her friend, Matt. Olivia is MIA, which makes Molly question whether or not she’ll even show up. She thinks her mom is choosing a stranger over her, which essentially, she is. Luis may be a good guy, but Molly is doing herself NO favors by moving him in seconds after meeting her daughters. Ick. “I feel like I’m gonna pass out right now. For real,” says Molly as she pants on the staircase.
In Tampa, Elizabeth is FaceTiming Andrei, who lives in Dublin, Ireland. The K-1 Visa is taking a while, so Elizabeth is traveling there soon to see him through the process. But before that, she must report in to Andrei about where she’s going that night, with whom, and what she’s wearing. “He’s very old fashioned,” giggles Elizabeth of her fiance, who’s apparently visiting our planet from the year 1922.
At girls’ night out, Elizabeth fills her friends and sisters in on Andrei’s “traditional” values, which include keeping her barefoot and pregnant. Her sisters, circa the year 2017, take issue with Andrei’s strict sexist mores. They don’t see this sh*t working out, long term. Basically, everyone except Elizabeth thinks Andrei is a Neanderthal. She’s the one marrying him, though, so…go get yo’self an apron and a crockpot, girrrrrrl!
In Arizona, 43-year old Josh is a home theater technician looking for love after two failed marriages and a broken relationship with both of his children. Oh man. Josh feels like he hit the jackpot with Aika, a young Instagram hottie from the Philippines, who he met online. Josh feels like Aika is the perfect trophy wife, and hopes that she’ll stay stuck with him forever. “I knew right away that she was the one,” says Josh of the woman he’s spent a total of 120 hours with.
On Skype, Aika sternly reminds Josh that he’s her “provider” now, and that she has enormous expectations of a Western lifestyle. So, he better be ready to deliver! “I hope you’re good to me,” warns Aika. “Of course, babe!” brightly answers Josh, who needs to make a quick call to our boy Jorge for some advice. (Not that Jorge, of the very slow wits, has any to give…)
Oh no. Here it is, friends. We zoom over to Morocco to check in on the star of our show, the mother who needs an immediate 5150 hold, the idiot abroad herself: Nicole. Since landing, Nicole has allowed May to temporarily detach from her leash, and she’s managed to swallow down her jealousy over Azan-daddy showing May “more affection” than her. As Nicole and May check into their hotel room, Nicole complains that she can’t share a room with her man. No sexytimes for her. In more promising news, she tells Azan that her father is willing to sponsor him now, which makes Azan happy, not to mention shocked that anyone in their right mind would give Nicole money.
“I really wish you could stay and cuddle,” whines Nicole as Azan packs up his sh*t and scrams as fast as humanly possible. Because she’s such a stellar human being, Nicole then promptly ignores May, opting to plop on the bed and pout instead. She thinks about whether Azan is really still into this relationship while, outside of the hotel, cameras likely catch Azan fleeing on foot like he’s being chased by a whole gang of Nicoles.
In New Hampshire, Evelyn is excited to pick up her fiance, David, from the airport. She’s so excited, that she forgets to take her swimsuit top off before throwing a strapless dress on. (Seriously, wtf is this getup?!) Evelyn’s dad counsels her on the way to the airport. He doesn’t mind his daughter getting married young because he was 19 when he married Evelyn’s mom, after all. And the family band hasn’t booked a gig broken up yet!
At the airport, Evelyn is giddy with nerves and excitement. “It’s all starting to feel so real!” she gushes. Cause you guys – he’s, like, not just coming to visit! He’s, like, coming to marry her! I’ve gotta say, Evelyn seems like a sweet girl, but she is working my last nerve with her naivety. When David finally lands, their embrace is sweet, though, and I guess I am still rooting for these two Krazy Kids. “I’m happy to see my daughter happy,” says dad, unsure if David is prepared for the culture shock he’s about to experience. Like Evelyn’s driving skills.
Back in AZ, Josh is meeting up with some buddies to get hazed about his choice to marry a foreigner. Joe and Kyle are the requisite “haters” every TLC American suitor chooses to bring on camera, then deny all terrible intentions/consequences to. Joe and Kyle play their parts with aplomb, having done some bonus research in advance! What about “romance scams?” they wonder. The Google machine told them about it! Josh just waves off their concerns, swearing that his love for Aika is the real thing, and vice versa.
“You’re risking a lot,” they warn. Josh isn’t worried. To him, the risk is worth the reward. Even if Aika is scamming him, he frankly doesn’t seem to care. Okay, guys – this dude is officially Jorge 2.0! He wants a trophy, so he’ll pay any price to place it on his shelf. “She picked me,” defends Josh, who needs to get the number of that Louis Vuitton consignment store Jorge had on speed dial. Also, he’d better change all of his passwords now before it’s too late. #BePrepared
Flash back to Georgia, where Olivia finally shows up (late) to drive her mom and sister to the airport. Molly is pissed! But she has to roll with the punches, because Olivia is already upset about her entire life being in upheaval, let alone having to negotiate traffic for the sake of her mom’s random fiance. At the airport, Molly squeals and goes berserk when she sees Luis rolling his bag toward her. “WHAH-HA! WOOHOO! WHEEEE!” screams Molly, who’s so enamored with the sight of her man, she loses track of her daughter. Where is Olivia?
Oh, there she is – giving her future stepfather the rightful stink eye he is due. Especially after he waxes poetic about being back with Molly – his love, his life, his “beautiful chubby girl!” Record scratch. Um, what the f**k did you just say, Sir? No. Just…NOPE. Molly seems to love this kind of talk, however, because she’s giddy at the sight, sound, and smell of Luis. He apparently likes smelling her too, so they’ve got that in common. Olivia is not having any of it, though. She doesn’t want to be in spitting distance of this nightmare, so she just halfheartedly says “um, hello” before dutifully marching back to the car with her new “family.” What a mess.
In NH, the 3-hour drive home is going as well as can be expected, given Evelyn’s learners-permit driving skills and her father’s crossed-arm panic in the backseat. David tries to relax as Evelyn chirps about him being “cute” and how she’s “so happy!” It’s like Disneyland in this car, or maybe Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride. In any case, David puts on a brave face. He’s not sure New Hampshire is going to be a good fit for him, and expects that Evelyn will move with him to a larger city if he wants to. Uh, nope. Evelyn is the shiny big fish of her very tiny family band pond, and she won’t be swimming away from those stagnant waters anytime soon. The sooner David finds this out, the better.
For now, he must reconcile to living with Pastor Tim, who – much like Walmart Tom – will become a fixture in this relationship as a third party interloper. At least Pastor Tim has a separate apartment on his compound for David to bunk in – which I guess is better than bunk beds with Pastor Tim? Plus, David can maintain his “purity” here, which he claims is just as important to him as it is to Evelyn. As a reminder, David is 26 years old. <side eye>
We end our sordid tale back in Morocco, where Azan is taking Nicole and May out for a day on the town. Before they walk to the market in Casablanca, Azan gives May a stuffy (aww) before Nicole shows him the f**king CHILD LEASH she’s been using on May up until now. Azan scoffs at this crazy sh*t, outright refusing to use that thing in public! Good for him. Ten points to Azan! (Nicole: still zero.) But it seems that Nicole having no idea how to keep her child in control without a leash should really be what Azan is questioning here, no?
As they walk to market, May runs ahead (as children do), which sends Nicole into an immediate tizzy. Azan isn’t sure how to handle a toddler because, P.S. – he’s not a father! But neither does Nicole, just yelling at him that he has “no idea what to do!” as if he should understand child rearing better than her…an actual, real live parent. Technically. For now.
