Posted in: Real Housewives of New Jersey, Recaps

So I guess we’re skipping the first night of camping.  Probably everyone was sleepy from the long travel day.  We catch up the next morning in the Wakile RV, where Gay Sidekick and Vito are asking for breakfast and Kat and Lebanese Dilbert are complaining about the lack of privacy.  It’s sort of domestic, for an RV.

Over in the G/G RV, it’s another story.  Everyone’s sprawled out and sweating to death.  Turns out, Brown Smurf got cold in the middle of the night and cranked the heat up to 101 degrees.  101 degrees.  Does a booze/steroid combo make you chilly?

Ter and Brown Smurf languish in bed and then Mel hops in. She snuggles with Ter and starts feeling her up.  She tells Ter her boobs are like “brick houses”, then talks about how her boobs are “like, real”.  Ter tells us that Mel is a toucher.  She always would grab Ter’s ass, but the boob grab is a new thing.

Dynasty meets Jersey.  LOVING this look.

And in the tent, it doesn’t look like a barrel of laughs.  The hightail it over to the Manzo RV, where things don’t get any better for Chris Manzo, who catches what I’m sure was a fully intended glimpse of Midge’s penis.  “Like a regular penis, only smaller,” Chris explains.

Mel is fake horrified.  “He’s proud of Tarzan,” she explains.  But why the need to whip it out all the time?  What if Ter catches a look?  Given this family’s screwed up dynamic, I would not be shocked if that were the plan.  Why don’t you go feel Ter up again.

Kat makes her bed and begs Lebanese Dilbert to “fix yourself, please”.  The problem is a blurred out erection.  It is all class, all the time on the Wakile RV.  Mel comes in cooing to Gay Sidekick, but is swiftly disgusted by Dilbert’s dilbert and runs screaming from the trailer.

Someone’s cooking eggs and bacon on the grill, and Kat’s in the kitchen trying to bake muffins in the convection oven. Which is just like a regular oven, so I’m not sure what the problem is but the Cannoli Queen comes up with a mushy mess.  Not her usual bake sale in a parking lot quality.

Gay Sidekick laughs at her and laments the production of a mere two muffins.  Lauren looks positively furious at the prospect of no muffins.  Caro tells us so far, so good – she’s enjoying the Wakile’s hospitality,  Midge and Mel are “a trip” and she’s even enjoying Brown Smurf’s company.  She’s intentionally staying away from Ter so they don’t end up ruining the whole trip.

And then it’s Kat’s turn to stir the pot, since Ter isn’t in the room.  She informs Jacquee and Caro of Ter’s visit last night and how nice Ter has been.  Jacquee agrees. “Were you happy with the outcome?” Caro asks through pursed lips.  Jacquee says that she and Kat are in the same position with Ter -she wants to mend things but she gets “caught in the middle”.

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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. :)

    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.

    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!!!!!!

    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??????

    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.
