I don’t know what to make of this mezcal thing with Erin and Tom Hanks. Thank God we have these two to bring this ‘Mexican beverage’ to the Americas.
Tequila is the poor man’s drink the were told by their House Manager in Mexico twelve years ago, they claim.
From my very brief research of the difference between mezcal and tequilia, both are made from the agave plant, but mezcal can be made from more varities of the agave plant across more parts of Mexico.
Sounds a lot like bourbon verses whiskey.
“Somebody needs to bring this to America” Erin informs us.
Pretty sure you could already get this spirit in the US, so not sure why they think they’re pioneers.

Jessel is such a bitch to her mom. She asks her why she’s ‘whispering’ in the nail salon, then proceeds to make fun of her. She wasn’t even whispering.
She tells her she wants to have this girl that they have frozen knowing full well Pavit has no interest. A few weeks ago we got insight on that, when Pavit complained she sleeps in every day and makes him take care of the boys.
She wants to see a therapist to help them communicate. They don’t need a therapist, they need divorce lawyers. I was laughing at her birthday party how they were not even together for one second. She even had her picture taken by herself with all of her outfit changes. Didn’t some guy ask Pavit how he knows Jessel?

Ubah Raquel and Sai meet up. Sai ridicules Ubah’s pigeon diatribe she went on in
The Hamptons.
Why is Sai so obsessed with Jenna? Someone seems jealous. She acted coy about her engagement, who cares. WHO CARES.
Let’s talk about you, Sai and how you met and started ‘dating’ your husband. AKA getting bent over his desk at 3am after the bar closed. Cute.
Raquel elaborates on her divorce and being in business with her husband and people thought she was cheating on him with Mel and then there was a coffee table book, and other artsy people didn’t talk to her. It was a lot.
I guess it’s mildly interesting. Mildly.

Brynn has a business venture of a dating/flirting app she’s working on with developers in London.
We’re finally hearing about some sort of job that she has. Last season it was all pretty sketchy sounding.
She talks to her brother about the Housewife drama and how bitchy Sai and Ubah have been.

Jessel and Pavit have one of their typical excruciating dates where Pavit cares only about the food and I mean ONLY about the food. They order like eight different entrees.
I actually appreciate him shoving the entire dumpling in his mouth. I get it, it’s one of those bites that yeah may be a little obnoxious to take all at once, but it’s also awkward to bite it.
Jessel immediately starts harassing him about this baby. Clearly this is her story line. Begging Pavit to let her have this baby while he eats everything in sight.
This time he doesn’t say ‘we’ll see.’ He says “there’s no baby.” Wow so harsh.
Although I can’t say I blame him. #1 he can’t stand her, why bring another child into this, and #2 she makes him do everything at home for the two that she has, that she doesn’t seem that interested in.
“I really love these noodles” as she’s trying to make her case. He is hilarious.
He then proceeds to take pictures of the food. This is excruciating, but funny at the same time.
That didn’t go anywhere, so she now rolls out the therapy thing. He insists he will choose and call the therapist.
Yeah he’s never doing that.
He continues to shove wads of noodles into his mouth.
They argue over who’s the worse communicator.
“Especially you.”
“No, especially you…”
This can’t be real but unfortunately I think it is.

This whole NYC art gallery scene seems rather intriguing I do have to admit. Although not sure about these pieces that they’re observing. They’re very – artsy.
Don’t get the cornrow/corn thing but ‘A’ for originality.
She and Mel discuss again her ex, whose name they don’t mention, and whose face gets blurred out in photo flashes, but his name is Corey Baylor.
They discuss having an engagement party. Apparently the mom isn’t too fond of the lesbian thing.
That’s sad, especially when she doesn’t have a dad.
******
It’s time for Erin’s Cinco De Mayo/Mezcal event. It’s interesting her high school sweetheart is one of their partners.
I feel like Ubah’s trying to be Brynn with her excessive flirtiness this season.
“The drink is virgin just like me?” I’m sure he’s never heard THAT one before.
Erin, Sai and Ubah discuss Jessel’s party and of course, Brynn. Ubah seriously doesn’t realize how stupid she sounds when she starts rambling about the pigeons.
Things are still weird between Brynn and Sai and Ubah. Suddenly this season Ubah and Sai are besties which is funny and inauthentic.
So glad they’re keeping Sai fed this season.
Brynn aggressively flirts with Erin’s dad. It’s so sad that her mom has breast cancer and her dad suddenly passed away. I tried to find out what happened to him and couldn’t find the cause of death.
Jessel walks in and immediately tells Erin she smells bad. Brynn finally approaches the ladies just as Ubah starts to get cranked up about how much she hates her since she was told Brynn was talking shit on her.
Erin tells her it wasn’t that deep. Ubah drinks water from the jug left on the table for everyone, and seems to be down to drop it. She yells at Jessel and calls her a basic bitch for pointing out she can get a glass. Something is off about this broad. Ya know if she was drunk, at least she’d have an excuse.
I’m being for real and not even facetious, what IS wrong with Ubah? Is she bipolar or just completely desperate to ‘make a scene’ in all of her scenes?
She’s not smart enough to do it cleverly. And she looks kind of stupid drinking from an entire jug. If the shoe fits…
I think Ubah’s mad her fight she wanted to pick with Brynn got sidelined. So now she’s drinking from the table water. She’s showing THEM.
Things stupid people do for 1,000, Alex.
Tom Hanks stumbles as he prepares for a speech. Too much indulgence in the mezcal that THANK GOD he and Erin brought to the Americans.
They keep their speech brief after that nightmare anniversary party last season in that horrible echoing building, with a cash bar and no food. Hopefully this business is a success so they don’t have to be so fucking cheap.
Brynn’s sexual baby talk yaps are so cringe. Is there anything else this girl can talk and joke about at all?
Again Ubah and Brynn appear to have made up, but in the Hamps she hugged Brynn and said they’re okay, then proceeded literally two seconds later to start yelling and screaming. Again, making her look a little slow.
