First stop is Camping World, where they will fetch their RVs and some supplies. Chris reviews the RV sharing situation while they sit in traffic. It’s the Gorgas and yesterday’s eggplant parm, the Guidices. Then it’s the Wakile’s, Gay Sidekick and Vito.
Finally, there’s the RV of misery – that’s the one with Caro and crew in it. Jacquee and Chris are in there too, and the Manzo kids are relegated to a tent on the side of the bus.
They disembark off the van at Camping World, where for some reason, everyone needs to ride a bike around the store. Everyone immediately grabs the first hat they see and plants it on their head in anticipation of the shopping expedition.
And everyone’s got Camping World fever. They grab wagons and race through the aisles. Jacquee breathlessly recounts the excitement, with the information that it’s all stuff they’ll probably never use but it was “fun to get it”. Oh, okay. That’s not how any of you ended up bankrupt or anything.
Ter grabs for an economy sized bag of peanuts. Jacquee literally skips through the aisles. Chris Manzo appears to be purchasing a mop. I can practically smell the stench of that Hoboken apartment through my television, but he thinks he’ll be doing a little mopping up during his 2 day stint in the RV. Wait – Chris Manzo isn’t even staying in the RV! He’s in a tent! What the hell does he need a mop for?
The Manzos are the only ones not bankrupt yet. Just doing my part.
Ter comes upon a section of games and suggests to Mel they purchase Scrabble. I can only dream of the bloodfeud that might start over Ter thinking “diet-y” is a word. For her part, Mel manages to locate a stuffed raccoon, and since she’s so completely over her Guidice angst, she reminds everyone in her aisle of the time Brown Smurf called her one.
Not for nothing, but a little blending wouldn’t be the worst thing ever that happened to your makeup.
Ter is now on the hunt for a pink jacket. She acknowledges the “camping people” in their work boots. She deduces that these “camping people” are going camping. And then she reminds us that her five inch blue pumps have fringe on them, which has nothing to do with anything other than the fact that Ter still doesn’t know what state she’s in.
Mel discovers leopard print and zebra print placements. Car lugs a barbecue off a shelf and ignores Ter’s questions about whether or not there will be dishes on the RV. Kat rides around on her bicycle and Ter compares her to the Wicked Witch of the West. Then she laughs a lot. Cause it’s a joke, see, funny, haha!
Gay Sidekick is busy stockpiling what he calls “decorative accents” and Kat instructs him to load ‘em up. I can’t even imagine what sort of decorative accents one might find at Camping World. I presume there are pine cones involved.

Page two and already DYING!
I want to see Tre and Alexsis have a battle of wits over geography, that would be #worthit.
The Manzo/Laurita’s missed a huge opportunity there. They should have brought cases of blk water and handed them out on the airplane. The had a captured audience right there!! I’m sure the airline wouldn’t have minded… I don’t think I saw any blk water anywhere in the episode come to think of it. What’s next? Black Wine???
Wasn’t this the trip when they went to check up on Ashlee as well? Do we get to see that or was it not filmed?
Featherhead – you can’t bring the water through security – how would it get on the plane?
Back to reading. Chickbomb slicing people down with words right out of the gate.
I was picturing the walk with Mel and Tre on the beach going a little more like this:
“You know Mel, I’ve got that not so PHresh feeling.”
“Yeah Tre? Want some of my rePHresh? It’s in the RV; where you had the shits.”
CB you have these people’s number and dialed it home. WTG-even making this snoozefest funny in your recap.
@labowner. -I was only kidding!!
The airlines would never let that happen!
You are right Feather it is a great idea. Or they should have made up “airline” sized 3/4 oz bottles and brought them along.
Joe Giudice was nice to Teresa. Shocking. Caronline is being mature by staying away from Tre to not cause drama. Awesome idea. Sorry Chick, I am with Kathy, convection ovens are different to cook in than regular ones.
Next week looks like some fun times.
Anyone know the point of camping in RV for four days? What was supposed to happen that didn’t?
I don’t understand flying into SFO – driving South to RV World to only drive back up North and West to get to Half Moon Bay to then end up driving North and East to Napa. How high was the person that planned this?
It took me three tries to watch this episode all the way through, only to have to be exposed to Dilbert’s boner. Why, Bravo? Why?
And I was thinking that Tarzan and Tre probably go way back. Tarzan probably loves to see Tre in red…it’s just so sexy. /barf
JARTS? What the hell are JARTS?
JARTS are what you get when you come up with a game that is supposed to play like horseshoes, only you use giant darts instead. Really what it is a sure-fire trip to the emergency room in a box. I didn’t know they sold them anymore. I worked in the sporting goods department of a department store when I got out off college, and at the time there were so many lawsuits out over this game that anyone who wanted to buy it had to fill out more paperwork then you’d need to buy a shotgun. For what it’s worth if there was ever a group of people I would want to play JARTS, these are the ones.
Well I must be a dumbass…….I thought full size “kitchen” ovens were called convection ovens. Where I’m from, those little ones she was using is called a toaster oven. So what is a “regular” stove/oven called?
Why didn’t they just stay in a hotel? It surely would have been cheaper than rv rental, Camping World supplies, and the gas used, no?
Convection ovens are special ovens that have a feature that moves air around as well as heat I think. Things cook faster in a convection oven and you have to adjust timing for everything. Size doesn’t matter. I have a regular sized oven at home and a toaster oven that has a convection option I can use. But some full size ovens have convection features also. So far I haven’t tried the convection feature on my toaster oven because it intimidates me. I am an oven wimp.
I had Jarts when I was a kid. Lawn darts. They were wicked sharp and flew through the air with deadly ease toward their target. It was like giving your kids a set of actual swords for Christmas — what are people thinking? So yeah, when I saw that box of Jarts in the basket I thought, what better game for a bunch of probably eventually drunken feuding families in RVs for four days to play than Jarts? Because it isn’t a vacation until someone loses an eye.
Unless I see a jart embedded in somebody’s skull, pronto, I’m done with this show. It’s sooooooooooooo damn scripted any more, and yet it’s still boring. This here recap was way better than watching the actual episode IMO.
p.s.
My mom says “placements” too.
Forgot, Joe’s trial will be in the fall.
Most of the JARTS these days are styrofoam
The ones we saw were probably Nerf, so sorry we should not expect any blood from lawn games! Then again we probably won’t see any lawn games at all since they are camping in a PARKING lot!
Well, it looks like they took the Jarts of my youth off the market for the simple reason that you could kill someone with them. I looked up Jarts for sale new today and they don’t have the deadly steel icepick end anymore, they have a heavy plastic kind of oblongish end instead. Since they bought them new and not old off of eBay, I don’t think we’re going to see any Jarts embedded in skulls this season. They may get a blunt injury head trauma, but no juicy puncture wounds. Part of me is relieved that the old Jarts are gone, and part of me is kind of disappointed by this plot development.
Well, there’s always all those cliffs they keep complaining about.
will someone please JART caroline manzo? STAT
OK-am on page 5 and I have to say : 1) total BRAVO set-up with Lindsey moving in–I mean…Lord….
2) Yes–Lauren….for the love of Mike-you are in the make-up field? You should well look better. I have added primer to my routine–that would be sunblock, moisturizer, primer, foundation–Give each a good 15 minutes to set–Takes time yes but you will love the results. That is free advice Lauren–from Aunt Cawfee to you.
Back to reading
For the love of all that is good and holy–Dilbert-WHAT!!!?? am grossed out, speechless and will watch this episode again. I am sure I missed a few things. The whole “cow intimacy” was gross. I had a chuckle at how Vito came completly within camera shot to see it. Made me think of him and Lauren–and then I stopped thinking.
Great job CB!!!!!!
@labowber comment #6, the same asshole who planned a 7 hour trip to Costa rica from the OC that’s what idiot. They’re in the same village.
Hey—-how did Brown Smurf get on a plane without ID ?? He “left his wallet” in a car–maybe he used a passport. Doesnt he have to surrender it b/c of his legal problems??????
State ID Hot?
Actually, California IS in Mexico.
I only saw the last few minutes of the episode, and that was enough. Ritchie’s raging boner and the Teresa/Melissa Mensa meeting on the beach illustrate the ridiculousness that is The Real Housewives of New Jersey. And I still can’t stop watching.
@ 20 Lab—I was wondering how much identification Brown Smurf actually has owing to his “legal” problems. Must have been BRAVO tv magic to get him out to Cali—-did we actually see him on the plane???? There is no bar on an airplane and believe I have looked.
Sorry kids– I am convinced that Bravo is screwing with us—am tracing time according to Tiny’s hair color.
@ hot cawfee most states will offer an ID only card for people who lose their DL due to drunk driving I would guess Juicy has one. As a bartender I see plenty from people who have lost their driving rights.
I agree with you Hot Cawfee there is just too much out of place. You mean to tell me NONE of these people with the little ones they all have have ever heard of Watchdog.com??? Please put the Penises away!
Clare S. good call my home state and current state offer ID cards. I beg booger smurf has one.
Love the advertisments. Most of the guys are wearing “Camper World” jackets. What? They couldn’t bring “free” jackets from home? They had to spend yet more money (they don’t have) and buy new ones with a big honking “Camper World” logo? At least buy one that said “California” or “San Francisco” but not Camper world??? And the other guys all had that black water crap “BLK” on t-shirts.
