Outside the courthouse, Renee celebrates her victory in court.  Now that that one is out of the way, she’s going to focus on Giana visiting her father. 

I spy two people who need to swap pants.

The reality of the life her father has built for himself hits Giana like a ton of bricks.  Layers of barbed wire and towers containing snipers.  It’s hard for her to deal with the fact that there’s always glass between them, that her exit door opens on sunshine and his door opens onto cells, and she has to see him get cuffed and frisked when their time is done. 

One thing they discussed during the visit was custody issues over her.  Renee has always maintained that they were granted joint custody, but that her dad chose to never come get her.  Her dad told her that it wasn’t what happened.  To prove this, he swore on his mother’s grave.  He could tell her what he wore that day, how the weather was, etc.  Well, how do you know he’s telling the truth?  I could tell y’all that today I wore a bowtie, hooter hat, and crotchless panties to the grocery store while it snowed outside.  What do you know?  You didn’t see me, so how could you tell me I didn’t?  Other than the fact that a major barf-fest which plagued a Dallas suburb was not reported on the evening news, how would you?

Next week proves to be juicy with Renee having a problem with Leah playing both side, Renee fighting with C-Wow, and cops showing up to her shop.

Side Note:  I just started up my recording of RHONJ and I’m seeing that Renee and Teresa will be on WWHL tonight.  So, I’m recording the later showing of that so we can discuss that, too.  Hopefully something awesome will happen.  I want tables flipped and face ripped off.

Much love,

Sugarbush xoxo

About

Hi, there!  About me...well, let's see.  I like to think of myself as an enigma, wrapped in a riddle, shrouded in a mystery.  Sometimes my personality doesn't even reconcile in my own head.  I'm a really caring and sensitive person, but I have a dark, dry, sarcastic sense of humor which tends gives the impression that I have no soul.  I am married to a great guy who shares my sense of humor and we have a son who, both fortunately and unfortunately, has his mother's personality.   I'm an independent contractor who works from home and keeps the kid all day, everyday.  I've loved to write my whole life and have big, never-to-be-achieved dreams of one day writing a book.  My favorite past time is laughing, which is what brought me to this site.  I can laugh at almost anything, so beware.

    That lawyer’s faces were priceless! You could see the wheels turning on how to get Nutbag Nora out of his office pronto! Did you catch Nora telling that other guy that she wants to see her father’s body and make sure he had an autopsy? OMG – there is really something wrong with her! And Pia hitching that Nora is going around saying that she was on the pole for 15 years and C-Woww goes – but you were! Bwwhaha!!

    Wow that has to be difficult having a murderer for a father. Wonder why it landed him in federal prison as opposed to the state pen? What were the extenuating circumstances that made it a federal charge? Poor lady.

    Leah can you get any better?

    So in the previews Giana chooses to believe her father over Renee.
    Also Renee is in a nasty custody battle with her other daughter’s father.
    What kind of beast is Renee?
    I know she is awful. Sending a text via C-Wow’s phone (juvenile), but she must be really bad if her own daughter sides with her incarcerated father over Renee.

    Pia and Leah had moms that were in gangs? Were these gangs like the Pink Ladies from “Grease”?

    I haven’t seen the episode yet. Did Leah give us a word of the day?

    @Classy – No, unfortunately she spoke mostly English the entire episode, which means I learned nothing.

    Dammit! I was watching this show partly for it’s educational value. Italian slang and the history of mobsters in Chicago. or at least that’s what I told my mom I watched it for so she didn’t judge me.

    Ha! I’ve used a similar excuse so that people wouldn’t judge me for watching Jersey Shore.

    No Classy but she did want cancer to be a loud mouth down the street she could take a bat to it.

    Ok I haven’t read the recap yet but I have a burning question….Am I the only one that pauses my dvr to read the letters or articles they show on tv? Because if I am, I’m slightly ashamed (but not really) that I do it, but it is very informative! Especially when they flash a newspaper article about what’s going on in the show. If it’s interesting, I always pause to get the title or publication so that I can look it up and read the whole thing online. Well this time? It paid off as proof that VH1 is full of shit & must think we are dumb.

    So there I was listening to Giana tell the story of what her dad did & I immediately want to look it up and get all the details because I’m nosy like that, so I paused the screen to read the article & I’m still laughing at that shit. The article is entitled ‘Robbery turns deadly’ (which should have been my 1st clue that it was fake) and this it what says verbatim..typos & misspellings included:

    “Who framed roger rabbit..this is the movie of the century not it actuuall wasn’t I am am justq Coming up with jiberish fro me tw worite todf make this look like an actuea newspapper fffgfgf
    oh you like how i added the indintation likeI am actually writing a newspaper article Writting this is a lot more boring thatn i espected it to bel thiin I am down low enough to just duplicate thisa “Bam there I go again wieth anothe indentation aand this time I even added quotation marks” now I am just going to writer the wokds I here…”

    WHAT. THE. FUCK?!? bwhahahahahha. Those assholes are idiots & I need to find the name of the intern who wrote that shit so I can send him a muffin basket because that shit is priceless. I seriously laughed for at least 15 mins straight after reading it. It said more shit I couldn’t see under the pause graphic on my screen but then it just repeats itself in the 2nd column, but SERIOUSLY? REALLY? Why even include the fake articles in the show if you can’t find real ones & did they seriously think no one would see that shit? There isn’t anything they can do to make this shit look authentic so why all the nonsense? I. Can’t!

    @Fancyface – Nice catch! I actually thought about going back to the episode to see if I could pause that article, because I couldn’t find a damn thing online about her dad. I wanted to find the whole story, since she kinda’ glossed over it. Now I’m going to HAVE to go back to see what it says. That’s hilarious!

    And you’re right. I’m finding that Nora is basically the only one who’s legit on this show, which must explain her insanity. I still love me some Leah, but the rest seem to be wannabes. Although, maybe we should look up those gangs that Leah’s and Pia’s moms were in. Maybe THEY are the mob connection here.

    Here is an article about the murder. Interstate commerce is why it was federal. Really, they had to kill a 78-year old lady?

    @labowner….thanks for the link! Now, I’m confused, is her dad the Carcione person the article is about or the Volpe character? Because she said her dad owned the bakery & the article is saying the guy that ratted him out, Volpe, owned it. I do seem to recall her saying her ex was a dirty rat so I’m assuming he’s Volpe

    Giana’s last name is Volpe so I am going to assume that is the dad.

    Shoved flowers down her throat and wrapped her head in duct tape? WTF is wrong with some people.
