The Season 11 Tell All began with Shekinah arriving at the studio all alone, explaining that she and Sarper were not on the best terms. It seems the marriage had changed their dynamic in the blink of an eye (But not hers, because she had some new surgery that makes blinking look painful). Greg and Joan braved the traffic from Long Island to be in the studio, schlepping along a bunch of packages that may or may not contain a loaf of sourdough, made with extra poo water. Sarper arrived all by his lonesome, stealing the show as he coached Mahdi in the green room on how to have a personality. Shawn and Alliya showed up like faux celebrities, plopping out of their car service with oversized sunglasses and egos to match.
Matt arrived on set with what I thought was possibly a 4th addition to the thrupple, but it turned out to just be Amani with a new face. She explained she had a bunch of surgery after the show aired (She got her 90 Day discount code DARCEY90D and received 25% off).
Once in the hot seats, Shaun jumped right in, starting with Mahdi and Stevi and their expedited wedding. They claimed to be doing well, despite rushing into their wedding plans (But Mahdi….blink twice if you need help…… Ok they’re fine!) Shaun moved over to Shekinah, noticing a little work she had done to her face, which segued nicely into discussing Amani’s new look. Both ladies seemed to have tension as they bickered back and forth over the “right” reasons to have one’s face nipped and tucked, although neither of them had the ability to show emotion due to the Botox. The drama between the two femmebots seemed to have started off screen, when Amani had contacted Shekinah on social media to discuss plastic surgery, in what she felt was an attempt to be friendly (Despite her warning that she may be talking trash about her at the Tell All). Shekinah accused Amani of being “calculating”, while Matt just sat there in his sparkly tux and goofy “Fast Times At Ridgemont High” smirk.
Shawn and Alliya greeted the group, rating the current status of their relationship at an “8”, despite the fact that they have no romantic life and don’t even seem to really like each other.
Once the initial welcomes were done, Shaun turned to Sarper and Shekinah to discuss their post-bedding fall out. Sarper claimed he had felt depressed and dependent, being that he was in a new country and adjusting to living in Shekinah’s house. The two had begun fighting over small things, like who got the bigger stick of butter, and it eventually spiraled into larger arguments. Shekinah’s infamous friend Dan was brought on stage to stir the pot. Dan criticized Sarper, claiming he didn’t really love Shekinah because of the way he treated her, which of course really bothered the Turkish Delight. There were many awkward Turkish expressions that lost something in translation, but ultimately, nothing was resolved and Sarper still wanted to throw Dan in the moat of his castle house.
After their segment, the two went backstage where Shekinah became incredibly emotional, even mustering up a single tear. She felt that Sarper wasn’t compassionate, as he yelled at her for being upset and making him upset, which just was upsetting all around.
Back on stage, things moved over to Mahdi and Stevi, who shared the news that Mahdi has actually been working as a personal trainer. Things seemed to be going just fine, until they randomly brought out Veronica, as in “Tim & Veronica” to add her two cents about their marriage. Veronica seemed to feel like an authority on Persian people, since she’s now dating one, and urged Stevi to be more sympathetic to Mahdi’s homesick blues. They brought out Mahdi’s friend Saeed, who apparently only owns his one A.C. Slater shirt, as he questioned Mahdi’s happiness after the wedding. Saeed felt Stevi wasn’t supportive, and offered that Mahdi could leave Mississippi to move in with him in California, where a matching 80’s shirt would await him. With little to nothing else to discuss, Shaun brought up the whole “Stevi is questionably bisexual” thing, which she still never answered directly. She felt ambiguity was necessary since Mahdi confessed that it would really bother him if she had ever been with a woman. So there’s the answer.
Next up were Greg and Joan, who reported they were still living upstairs in Mama Lucille’s house. Before they could get another word in, the Mucinex blob himself arrived, wearing a baby pink sport coat. He waddled in to tell Greg he needed to find the couple an apartment, as if he wasn’t aware that living with his mom and the chickens wasn’t cool. As Greg’s pit stain circumference widened, he laughed off Big Ed’s comments, trying to deflect from the fact that he had 2 Lake Ronkonkomas under each sleeve (If ya know, ya know). Joan seemed to get defensive as they played back some tense moments between her and Lucille where she came across as ungrateful. The worst of which was when she asked IloveLucile to leave her house once in a while so she could have privacy. Mama Lu admitted she would like the couple to leave so she can work on finding some “company” of her own, as she admitted to being single and ready to mingle with more than just her chickens. It appears she didn’t have to look too far, as she left the Tell All with the human couch crumb himself, Big Ed. The two seemed to be linking arms as they jokingly left the set and headed to a local bar.
Back on the stage it was thrupple-time, which is 3 o’clock. They were happy to report they were still thruppling, despite their heated departure in Mexico. After they all returned home, they had a minor break before getting the band back together. Amani revealed that though the threesome was going strong, it was often more of a two-some between Matt and Any, and never between the two ladies alone. Any (Who also appears to have had some face enhancements) feels like she and her female thrupplester never have enough “quality time” together, though it seems fairly obvious that she probably is terrified of her after all of the many outbursts. Amani also discussed her face overhaul, and how she really regretted trying to further enhance herself to silence the comments made by her thrupplemates. Both Any and Matt had expressed that Amani was looking “too skinny”, so she decided to get butt implants and a nose job. It’s called logic. Amani then brought Shekinah back into the conversation, revealing one of the things they had discussed privately on shoshul media. Apparently she had asked Amani if Any was trans, which now put her in a very awkward position. Shekinah had to add that it was a genuine question without hate (And let’s be honest, it wasn’t totally unwarranted). Everyone argued back and forth about how inappropriate that was, while Shekinah doubled down on the “Amani is a calculating evil Disney Villian” angle. Looking forward to next week’s installment!
