Gotti’s Way tracks Murder Inc. mogul Irv Gotti’s attempts to rebuild his empire and fix his broken home, while our Rock Reality Show Recaps track how many times he breaks out Ja Rule in each episode. Here’s our report on the season finale:
Thirty Minutes in Five Sentences: It took him an entire season, but Irv finally comes clean about his crumbling family life, which was always the true focus of his reality show (sorry, rap fans). “This is the stupidity of Irv Gotti,” he explains as the reason he “can’t stop fucking.” His embattled sorta-wife Deb officially decides to get over Gotti’s straying ways, though not necessarily through divorce, and consoles sensitive first-born son Sonny after telling him the news. “I thought Deb was an asshole,” Gotti says upon learning Deb spoke to their son about the matter. And you thought this was a family show!
Does Ja Rule Gotti’s Life?: You know it. With a second season of Gotti’s Way debuting in early ’08, Gotti squeezed Ja in for one last round of flattery in a studio scene we already saw most of last episode. “You just zoned off and thought of that?” he asks of Ja’s latest hook. “That’s ill!” Ja then hops in the vocal booth and Gotti voices this bold comment: “[It’s] the smash of his lifetime!”
Irv’s Industry Advice: Gotti was too overwhelmed with marital issues to supply some decent industry advice this episode, but hey, what’s his excuse been all season?
Broken Home: Gotti and Deb’s heat reaches new heights, and Gotti takes his anger out on the camera crew. “Turn the cameras off, yo,” he commands. “And all of you get the fuck out.” He then justifies his rough family situation by saying it’s a weird, dysfunctional life, but that’s how he’s got to live it. Deb decides she’s done playing house and wants to find “someone” or “something” better. Conclusion? Deb may need to find a new man. And that would be a fantastic topic for the second season. I Love New Rochelle, anyone?
