The final four had a visit from their families, and while past shows have brought out the worst in the loved ones they are always the best shows to watch. New York was in a mood right off the bat which was a bit of a surprise seeing how last season ended so badly when Tango took back his engagement ring after he saw the horrible things New York said about his mama. If NY picks Punk she can expect a reprise of last year’s rejection, because she actually went over the line when she called Punk’s mom and sister ugly. Granted, they may not be Victoria’s Secret models but calling someone’s mom ugly is going too far, even for New York. Your mom is sacred and no one knows that more than New York. She made it clear last night when she told Buddha, “That’s my mother. She’s always gonna be right even when she’s wrong.” When your mom is maligning someone and destroying their reputation, and when that someone is your husband is she right then? If that’s her criterion she is destined to end up alone, and that may not be so bad for reality fans who cannot get enough of I Love New York.
Sparks really flew when the Entertainer’s mom nearly came to blows with Sister Patterson after SP insulted Entertainer outright. They got into a screaming match at the table and SP and NY flew into a rage and walked off, and Punk and his family sat quietly by, hoping to avoid the draft into a war of the tresses as the dueling matriarchs traded barbs about the other’s bad hair. To be fair, they are both working with some freeze dried horse hair looking garbage, but it was funny when Entertainer’s mom called SP a transvestite. That’s what my husband says every time he watches the show!
The big surprise was how poorly New York got on with Buddha’s dad who was a handsome and calm gentleman who had kind words for everybody. Sister Patterson tensed up the joint again when she pointed out to Tailor Made’s dad that Buddha had recently beaten him up. There was no dust up between the patriarchs, but when Buddha caught wind of SP’s gross exaggerations of the incident he had no choice but to call her out. This lead to a king size argument with NY and certainly brought out her most real side – a tempestuous mix of frustration, tears and unquenchable passion. Because there was no time to mend their rift I assumed Buddha was going home, instead New York called out the Entertainer and his parents for making him such a loser. Her comments were a little shocking and rude, but a 32 year old living in his parents basement hardly deserves a gentler assessment. Maybe this guy was looking for New York to pull him out of obscurity (and the basement), but NY is looking for a guy who can do more than drop off his laundry at mom’s. She wants a man with a slow hand and a submissive disposition who can unleash her tempest in a teapot (or the sack).
