For the first half of this recap of Baseball Wives, allow me to redirect you to my recap of Basketball Wives L.A. when the ladies go to Hawaii. It is the same exact situation, the same drama, and the same Survivor-”Kicked off the island” metaphor. Just do a mental search-and-replace, filling Brooke‘s name in wherever you see the name Jackie.
I’m not kidding, just read this and this instead.

We forget sometimes that celebrities are people too, and sometimes their guilty pleasures are the same as ours. Consider Pan Am star Christina Ricci, who appeared on The Talk the other day and described her passion for reality shows, including our very own Mob Wives and Baseball Wives. In the clip above, Ricci says “Every kind of ‘Housewife’ I can watch…If there’s no ‘Housewife’ on Bravo, I will find the Mob Wives on VH1, or we’ll switch over to the Baseball Wives that comes on after.” We knew we liked this girl for a reason! But it doesn’t stop there. In an interview with VH1′s very own music site, Tuner, the controversial SNL chanteuse Lana Del Rey also discussed her love of Mob Wives, saying “I f*cking love Mob Wives. I like Drita. BAD B*TCH. Wouldn’t mess with her, but she’s beautiful. I heard that one of those girls is Ghostface Killah‘s stylist, and that’s where he gets his minks and jewels from. Is that true?”
And finally, we just learned that Hannibal Lecter himself, Sir Anthony Hopkins, enjoys nothing more than a solitary evening at home with his Staten Island ladies. He recently told The Guardian that his idea of the perfect night would be “Staying in and watching Mob Wives on TV. I don’t have many friends; I’m very much a loner. As a child I was very isolated and I’ve never been really close to anyone. Ask nothing, expect nothing. That’s my creed. We’re all just a bunch of sinners crashing around in the darkness.” A little dark, perhaps, but if Mob Wives helps him through the night, what else can we ask?

Let’s establish one thing: I have no idea what’s going on on this show. The ladies are going on vacation this week, that much I know, but I can no longer tell who likes who, or why anyone is doing anything they do anymore. That being said, let’s discuss what’s going on to the best our our abilities…Also, let’s get spray-tanned!

This episode of Baseball Wives includes elements that we’ve come to know and love from these women: improv class, parties where someone was left out, some kind of group modeling scenario, and someone hate-baking something for someone else. Also, Tanya’s butt.

It’s Cherie‘s birthday and Chantel‘s throwing her a little birthday pool party to celebrate. Everyone except for Anna and Erika is invited. But Anna, who isn’t one to take an unvitation well, sent a cake over to make up for her absence. Maybe the scariest cake anyone’s ever seen, a red velvet possum.

Every show has an underdog, a person who’s not quite part of “the circle,” or who has to work hard against all odds to make a name for themselves. Sometimes the underdog is constantly swimming upstream, and sometimes they “rise to the top,” in the words of Draya, the classic underdog from Basketball Wives L.A., and Draya did just that, working her way into the circle and becoming a fan favorite. So we want to know which struggling star won you over the most this year. Was it Draya, who had to work just to not be judged by those around her? Was it Royce from Basketball Wives, who had to dodge insults and flying glass throughout season three? Or maybe you prefer Somaya Reece, who was clearly the underdog of the first season of Love And Hip Hop, but thankfully Kimbella is taking her place in season two. On Baseball Wives, Jordana Lenz is the one labeled a groupie (or in baseball terms, a “cleat-chaser”) and has to defend herself against the actual wives. And then of course, there’s the sole man on our list, a man who lives in a house full of strong-willed women who just wants everyone to get along, Mr. Mark Patridge from Audrina. This poor guy hardly stands a chance with all the fighting that goes on around him. Take our poll and let us know who your pick is for the Biggest Underdog of 2011.
Welcome to Scottsdale, home of the newest cast of wives to grace us with their presence, the Baseball Wives. Let’s meet the women before we get into the real drama, shall we?
