   What a c-bag Teresa is. On her blog she once again defends Joe’s horrid behavior to her and then proceeds to throw every other husband under the bus saying “they do it to”. First off, how fucking childish. Second Teresa, when I see any of those husbands treat their wives disrespectfully on camera like Joe has done numerous times to you, then I will believe what you have to say. So much for your mantra of “I don’t talk negatively about them” attitude.

   I remember being ten, and I remember having MAJOR meltdowns at ten. And that resulted in my mother/father/aunt/uncle stepping in, removing me from teh situation and having a serious talk with me or sending me to sulk on my own. BUT it was KNOWN that it was not acceptable behavior. Watch Ter’s kids, they get away with MURDER. They’re never reprimanded, they smart off to everyone. It’s bedlam. And for her to accuse J of being a bad mother without morals? SERIOUSLY!?!! Just wait till Gia is 16, see how good her “morals” are then. Where the entitled bratt takes off with her 30 year old boyfriend, just watch how that one ends!
   it really chides me that they are all so quick to point a finger and never EVER look at themselves. I am of course including Caro in this. The way she goes on and on about how tiny she was, it’s like she’s embarrassed by Lauren and afraid she’s going to “catch” the fat. Which HELLOO! We all remember Season 1!
   Although I did love Lauren’s rant about the Guidice/Gorga fight. Awesome.

   I don’t know if Teresa is really that dumb (probably), or in denial about her husband. She needs to take that cookbook money, even write a memoir while Team Teresa still exists, gather that paycheck and GET OUT!! It’s already too late for Gia and Milania, but I believe there’s still hope for the other two. I feel like the support of her family would be tremendous, and in time she could rebuild her life. Joe Guidice is more abusive than Russell Armstrong.

   Even though she was acting like a snotty brat face, Gia is a troubled little girl. The meltdown wasn’t about the other team cheating. It was about her dad drinking too much, going to jail, treating her mom like shit, cheating, the loss of family, being on US Magazine every week, getting looks from classmates and then having it all broadcast on TV. She felt like she was being victimized or attacked – I actually felt bad for her. Of course Teresa handled it completely wrong, but that’s not Gia’s fault.

   As for Jacqueline, I think she was trying to make light of the situation, and wasn’t really sure what to do. And Caroline is singing a whole different tune about Teresa’s kids than a few seasons ago! I’m still really surprised that Chris Laurita is letting this carry on still. I was sure he’d pull out by now.

   LMAO!!!! The milkman’s kid…that is what I always thought too.

   I thought I was the only one who caught the “I’ve always been tiny” remark from Caroline and I was thinking….’WHAT?”

   Theresa lives in a dream world of denial regarding her husband….and I wonder if the money she makes actually goes to pay off debt when every time I see her she has on new Chanel or Gucci stuff and apparently paid thousands and thousands of bucks for her wedding renewal dress…

   These are the best recaps around…

   Jacqueline and Caroline disgusted me. You could so tell that they were taking their spitefulness out on Gia. What Gia did was not even that disrepsectful to me, she left to be alone, there was no reason for Caroline AND Jacqueline to follow her, if it wasn’t that they were sincerely worried. A child has great intuition and they know when someone is being insincere, trust me. The first thing Jackqueline does is yell “trying to be funny” “Oh you would have been singing a different tune if your team had one” (or something along those lines)..but what they did not get or understand because they were busy blaming, was that Gia was not upset about losing but because Joe Gorga cheated, and he did, she wasn’t wrong. I’m also sure that his little talk to Gia earlier about Theresa, and the whole brother/sister thing is really getting to her. So she probably was already emotional. Than to see him cheat (and for a little child that is a BIG DEAL) pushed her over the edge. Caroline and Jacqueline should have showed her compassion (that’s a great lesson to teach a child) instead they did the opposite.

   OMG your captions are amazeballs!!

   ‘Of course we cheated, how do you think we all live in big mansions even though we’re flat broke?’

   And all the pics of ‘tiny’ Caro are fantastic. I can’t stand listening to Lauren whine about her weight another minute. It’s fucking killing me.

   I kind of though Caro and Jacquee were thinking Gia was doing a little bit of acting herself and were trying to make a joke and diffuse the situation even though they were probably better off letting her sulk in private.

   Last night at the gym I caught Brown Smurf’s tirade in the car at the beginning of this episode and it was more awful than I remember. And the way Tre just blew it off was incredible. I know families have differences and it’s not always comfortable to be around one another but he went after everyone – Mel and Midge, her parents, his own parents – it was truly disgusting.

   There wasn’t nearly enough Milania in this episode for my liking!!

   I’m standing with you on the Gia melt down, ChickBomb. I kept thinking the whole time I watched this episode “how is Gia going to be able to face her class mates after this?”

   I’m just saying that when a child is throwing a tantrum and their parent is present, you must let the parent handle them!! However that parent sees fit even if you don’t agree. Especially if the child is asking repeatedly for their mother.

   Shame on Caroline and Jaquee. I usually are on their side too, but not this time. I can’t wait for the reunion.

   I’m still on the other side of the fence. Sorry. Ten year olds don’t order adults around. Especially in their own homes. If she wanted her mom, she could have gotten her little sassy tail up and gone to her mom. Do I feel sorry for her? Yes. Girl got alot going on that she don’t need to deal with, but I feel alot of that meltdown was from stuff fed to her by her mother. She had a target on Joe’s back. She accused Melissa of being mean “like always”. This is post-THE COOKBOOK so no telling what she’s heard said about Jac and Caroline. But as Chickbomb’s friend said, I come from the era where you picked out your own switch in the yard.

   This episode I’m Team Whatever That Was Kat Brought To Eat. I wanna be friends with Kat so she’ll cook for me.

   Awesome job as always, Chickbomb!

Wasn’t he taking Remedial Law, which would have certified him to be a Loss Prevention professional, or a security guard at a day care center?

    aahhh ChickyB– awesome !!!!!! Am still laughing and cannot wait to watch the episode again!!
    I think the sub-title should be “How to embarrass your daughter via bras and prom”

    Poor Albie—Mel’s shorts are probably the closest he has hever been to seeing a lady’s no-no parts.

    Caro– please stop talking– You “want your daughter back”–then stop pushing her away!!!!! Tiny my ass. And Doc Perricone has skin care products–good for sags, wrinkles, and all things jowly and jiggly and cellu-litey

    And open note to Lauren Manzo— Lauren I am still on your team but this Dr Perricone diet is wreaking havoc on your skin and hair—you hair looks awful. And 45 minutes of exercise???? No hon, no. I think the doc may have stressed 45 minutes of walking and then another form of exercise. You are sounding suspiciously like mom-in-law when she says “The doc said to start with 2 for pain and then increase from there”.

    Did Milania drive Juicy and fambly down the Shore? Why am I thinking Joe was doing community service?

    And Gia–I am writing a note for you this week—You should not have been playing with the adults–that is the adults’ fault and yeah Bravo–I fault you too. Adults don’t play fair, don’t follow the rules and hit you harder (by accident usually). Then when you get upset, they say they didnt mean to or some other blather. You lost your squash BUT should not have screamed at Caro and Jaxx to “get my mother!!!!!” I mean come on– you know how they suck at mothering daughters. I say we chalk that up to a rookie mistake. And as such I will excuse the total disregard for grammar and proper word usage (“I dont need no lesson” indeed!)

    I am soooooooooooo excited for next episode– Really Rosie I think we should sub-title it. Youse guys—I was crying at the pre-view.

    @sardini You’re right about Gia. She’s 10 yrs old living in the house with a scumbag bigoted fuckwaffle that does emotional abuse on TV to her a mom that’s got some problems and is also Delusiona. Who knows what goes on when the cameras are off.

    If a kid hasn’t had any raising, that’s on the parents. Not the kid. Kids aren’t to blame for what their parents do. The way her Tre and Juicy act and the things they do aren’t Gia’s fault. It’s her example. It’s what she gets instead of home training.

    I already said in the mini cap if Gia wasn’t going off the rails by now it’d be because there was something bad wrong with her.

    Somebody over at Bravo needs to put on their Ed Bradley panties and start hauling Gia and the rest of those kids, milkman’s included, up on out of that house.

    Could you imagine how Caro the Tiny and Jackie the Moonface Spawner would have reacted if Teresa cornered, say little CJ, and had been reprimanding him? Both of them would have lost it! I can hear Caro now” Mess with my family, mess with me!” Oh wait…

    And not saying Tre is the running for Mother of the Year, but honestly, Tiny and Spawner should worry about their own heathens. Then again, Caro’s nose never met any business she didn’t like, and Jacko the follower talks so much ish, I bet she permanently taste shit.

    Posted May 24, 2012 at 9:23 pm

    lol @ 2muchbravo! It makes so much sense now! They should just call Lauren “Tiny” from here on out and everyone would feel much better.

    I am still irritated at Caro for the beginning of this season when she was listing how her life had changed and said “my kids moved away from home”, then later had to correct herself that Lauren still lived there but basically in a tone that said “the kids that MATTER”. They’re all different flavors of loser and none deserve a favorite title yet bozo.

    I feel for Gia, I remember being that age and dramatic and prone to crying and feelings that the world wasn’t fair. Her tantrum started when Joe dunked her and were egged on by the poor sportsmanship of the winners (not the ‘cheating’), but I totally agree that it was an adult game and she was too young to understand. I am annoyed with Caroline and Jaq, but Ter should have told her daughter to respect her elders and apologize. My s-i-l has two little ones and they have been taught early on they never boss an adult or behave disrespectfully. And their aunts and uncles need to be minded. Not that I would feel comfortable disciplining them, but when the screaming or hitting starts I can say “stop” and they button right up. Shame on Tre for letting her personal vendettas and insecurities get in the way of good parenting.

    Oh and what a big old bitch Greg is. He leapt to stir shit as soon as Mel walked in. And instead of shutting it down Caroline stoked the fire. What a nasty hive of dung beetles that clan is.

    Please, Gia was crying cause she lost. If her team had won, cheating or not – do you think she would have had a meltdown of epic preportions? I agree with TWhit, if she wanted her Mom, she could have picked herself up and gone to find her. She’s 10 not 3. Caroline and Jaq were trying to calm her down, so that Theresa, who was having a good time outside with her brother, didn’t have to come back in the house.

    And Lauren, she doesn’t have to put up with the abuse from her family. She’s 24 years old, move out, get a job, and support yourself. Hell, Asslee is doing it!!

    There was another young child playing. I don’t remember him acting out. Like I said in the mini cap Ter should have stopped this when she first started flipping out. Ter just acts like oh well and let’s her go into full on hysterics.

    Sorry, if they were at Teresa’s house then Gia could act a damn fool and I wouldn’t care, but in MY house you have to mind me and my rules. No 10 year old is going to yell at me in my house nor is anyone else.

    Again, Gia was crying and pissy b/c her team lost. She would have been all giggles and smiles had she been on the cheating team.

    I read some of the wives blogs on Bravo beginning with Season 1. Jaqs and Carolone raved about Tre Season 1 and 2. She is so funny, Lucille Ball, great mom, wife, friend, blah, blah…. While HATING on Danielle. Dina’s blog was really interesting. She was under the impression that this would be a funny, light hearted show. She realized that as long as she was on she was contracted for drama. Dina unlike Caroline really meant it when she said, fuck this, I don’t want drama in my life and left the show. Point being…. Caroline STFU or leave! You don’t like Tre, her drama, etc… Well you would never have to be in the same room with her if you walk. Your kids, tired of Tre? They can walk with you. See how easy that is? I bet Dina has not been in the same room as Danielle since the show. Jaqs, Melissa and Kathy, you all know where the door is. Tre is cocoa for cocoa puffs but at least she is not whining every five minutes about the drama. Lauren, you can also STFU. You don’t need a liquid diet, you need a therapist. You say you know you should utilize portion control and exercise but you don’t. Until you figure out why you will forever be a yo yo dieter.

    @Closet fan Yes anybody that’s treated like that by their own mother (even if it’s for a TV show which I doubt this is) can probably use some counseling.

    Also I bet if she got out of that house and started making her own normal life and feeling better about herself as a pretty girl she’d be surprised how quick she’d fall off. Just eating a regular healthy diet.

    She doesn’t need to lose all that much to look good with the body she’s got. She just needs to learn to love it because it’s hers. And accept that she’s never going to be tiny. Or shaped like a Barbie. No matter how many pasteurized piglets she eats.

    @Closetfan…they did love Teresa the first two seasons. However, Teresa was buying furniture for that ugly assed house with cash in a large paper bag. She was throwing lavish parties. Juicy wasn’t being a dick on camera. That is why I believe Teresa is so out for Melissa because Melissa still has what Teresa lost.

    Still….the real Teresa came out when she sat outside the ladies room waiting to ambush Danielle at the fashion show that ended with Assley pulling out her extensions. That is when I knew Teresa was not a nice person.

    Hilarious recap, Chickbomb. Sorry but I’m on Team Gia-is-a-brat. You don’t speak to adults that way, and you definitely don’t order one to go outside of their own house. If she wanted her mother, she should have gotten up and gone and found her on her own. Just because you’re having a hard time doesn’t mean that you get to take it out on other people. Go have your meltdown, in private, and when you’re ready to behave and play nicely you can come back.

    Posted May 26, 2012 at 12:04 pm

    I get the feeling that Tre’s frusteration over Gia’s tantrum was more due to being embarrassed by her behavior and not quite knowing how to handle it. Gia acted like such an asshole, and it was a disturbing display of overdramatics. When kids do shit like that, it makes a fun group situation become awkward, and uncomfortable. My parents woulda told me to chill the fuck out and go inside until I can act right. Even if I was 10. I would be totally embarrassed if my kid did that shit, and they all should have left her completely alone to calm down. No attention should have been paid to her reasons, complaints, or frusterations. I bet a million bucks that she woulda spent 10mins realizing how redic her rampage was due to nobody even acknowledging her display as relevent enough for comforting, and returned to the festivities. I hate competitive people, and think it’s a quality that leads to serious entitlement issues later on in life, as well as relating to some deep-rooted insecurity problems that fuck up relationships throughout one’s life…for example…Teresa. The last thing I want is a child who can’t take a joke, is competetive, is scared of everything, is shy around adults, cries everytime they fall down, or doesn’t have a mind of his/her own. Basically, I will not raise a titty-baby, and refuse to offer attention to a person who disruptively cries out for it by acting out on an unneccessary level, such as Gia did. You can provide a child with love and comfort to an extent which makes them feel safe and important without tolerating nonsense that a he/she expresses over something he/she must learn to accept as a normal occurance in a world that is generally unfair. People cheat, lie, say hurtful things, say one thing them do another, turn their back on you, tease you, etc. That’s life, Gia. It’s a parent’s job to guide their child in how to handle whatever makes them unhappy, and how to gauge the importance of a situation in order to know what reaction is reasonable. If this doesn’t happen, said child will have an impossible time functioning through life and be a miserable, unhappy pessemist who knows nothing other than how to be a victim. Tre and Joe are teaching her that real issues are ok to sweep under the rug and pretend don’t exist, yet a silly game meant for fun with no real value or accomplishment to be gained from the outcome is deserving of screaming, tears, and name-calling of the adults involved. Makes zero sense. A simple “get over it” works wonders with a kid who’s reacting to something retarded and needs to realize how stupid said reaction is.

    tAccording to Tiny C’s blog (which I am inclined to believe even though I can’t stand her) she was in the kitchen cooking when she heard Gia in the playroom nearly hysterical while talking to another child. Which is also what I assumed on the minicap because the scene didn’t make sense any other way. She went in to calm her down and while doing so Jackie walked by and heard what was going on & came in to try to help. Like I said on the minicap, Gia was COMPLETELY out of line regardless of what she was going through. I don’t believe she was upset for any other reason than the fact that she lost. Joe did go before he was tagged in the sack race but during the 3 leg race, she kept saying “You can’t pick her up” to him which means she thought he was cheating. He was tied to I think Melissa, but had his child on his shoulders so I have no idea what she was screaming about because carrying his child across the line while still tied to his partner isn’t cheating. I think she zeroed in on Joe because of what’s being fed to her by her oh so responsible parents and for no other reason. She deserves a smack for telling J to get out of HER house & yelling at adults to go get the stuffed animal that is her mom when she could’ve gotten her grown but up herself. And saying an adult that has been trusted to watch her and her sisters in the past has no right to try to correct her bad behavior is just bizarre to me. Why wouldn’t they try to step in to calm her down and reprimand her when she’s in the wrong? I would’ve had a problem if they DIDN’T try to step in. So yeah, I’m not buying into your defense of her but other than that..good job?

Younger, prettier, smarter, richer Melissa joined her TV show and took some of her spotlight. It’s the insane jealously of Melissa in addition to whatever weird feelings she’s got for her brother. That fucking deceitful brown smurf of a husband is just making everything worse for her. She’s not smart to realize that she needs to get away from him.

    When Jackie pulled out the book, that was the only time I thought she was crossing the line. It’s one thing to reprimand and it’s another to almost mock the child. The child’s feelings were hurt feelings are real and to try to laugh them off is insulting to anyone. So, yes Gia was wrong but so was Jackie.

    Someone posted this point on another blog, and since people are mentioning producer shenanigans, I have to wonder: is it possible that the producers were “keeping” Gia downstairs? She did seem upset, but she was calming down as she was talking to the other kid, then when Jackie and Carolyn came in she got agitated and kept looking at the camera. Is it possible that she was pleading with the crew/Jackie&Carolyn to bring her mother in BECAUSE Gia thought she couldn’t leave? Her posture seemed very defensive. She looked to me like she wanted to get up and leave but couldn’t (hence her screaming for her mother). Is it possible that she was led to believe that she wasn’t supposed to leave the room as a sort of staged/set-up by the producers so that Jackie and Carolyn could stage an intervention, provoking/scolding her behavior (and vicariously Tre’s neglectful mothering)? I smelled a set up.

    @Bliss— would not shock me— thank you for keeping us up-dated on this. I have seen alot of …hhmmmm…lets us creative edi-rection. The producer/director “shape” events for us little ole viewers. Tiny Caro Manzo is much involved this type of editing (her fave word for how she is portrayed)– how many times this season alone have we seen Caro in interview speak of one event and yet– three different outfits, hairstyles (and yeah colors) and weights (yes–I AM GOING THERE !!!!!!). I think BRAVO has for this franchise has alot of tape at the ready and further a storyboard for a few seasons.

    But now I’m starting to believe incest. They’re just too damn weird together. The way they talk to each other, the way they go off their rocker every time the other sibling is mentioned, the way the spouses are OTT jealous, everything.

    So let’s see, these Moms of the Year have produced the following spawn who’ve reached adulthood:

    1. Moonface – future performer in niche internet porn.
    2. Albie – law school dropout and failed sewer water magnate.
    3. Chris – failed tits-n-wash and sewer water magnate.
    4. Lauren – spoiled brat, and good-for-nothing whiner.

    Except for Albie, none of these kids have attended college. And all of them live with, or are subsidized by their parents. They’re great role models aren’t they to the next generation of RHNJ kids?

    It doesn’t seem too far fetched that Tre and Midge have some sort of incest history. A big red flag for me was during the bra shopping interview when Tre was talking about how “old school” her family was growing up and NEVER discussed sexuality EVER. If you have two kids close in age growing up together who are never taught any sexual boundries then you’re going to have two kids who are going to create their own sexual boundries and keep it a secret–becuase if sex is never discussed, then it must be bad. Maybe that’s why they revel in being such proud perverts now as adults. Tre and Midge both make a huge point of displaying sexual prowess with their own spouses, perhaps to shift focus OR perhaps to make each other jealous???? Ew. Sorry. I just puked a little bit in my mouth. Also, I think Tre really wants Brown Smurf to be just like her brother (kind, tolerant of others, patient with her kids) and it just kills her that Melissa has that now. Or maybe they’re just both dumber than boxes of hair and I’m having too much fun armchair diagnosing them…

    Theresa needs an intervention while she is bound and gagged, or she will do all the talking.
    This woman whole vocabulary consists of “are you kidding me>” No, Theresa, we are not. You are a bad parent if you continue to let your children continue on the path they are on. At 10, Gis ha to know better. There is help for you all if you weren’;t a stuborn ITALIAN. I cn saY THAT BECAUSE i AM iTALIAN SO DON’T THROW THE BIGOT CARD AT ME.
    We were not brought up like your children, had respect forr all grown ups. You don’t seem to give a SHIT HOW YOURs act.
    ttttYou are letting your husband dictate how you treat your brother…not good. He needs more than an intervention…a few years in the ‘big house’ will straighten him out but good.

    @dramaqn- WOOOOOOOW! Very smart. Your theory makes complete sense, and is sooooo on point. You are 100% correct about how and why a relationship between tre and midge could very well have been inscestuous (sp?). Right on.
