Pretty much exactly a year later…and we have our firsthand account of the mysteries of season four that we first learned about at season three’s reunion. It’s time for the Real Housewives of New Jersey finale.
We pick up with a replay of the tail end of last week’s cliffhanger – the greasy man asking Mel if she remembers him, Ter’s heart “beating 500″ and a concerned Kat wondering about Ter’s coffee intake.
The scene continues on in the ladies room, where Ter corners Mel and tells her that the guy is telling everyone that she used to be a dancer at a gentlemen’s club he managed. Mel is legitimately blind-sided. But I’m pretty sure she was also busted.
What do you mean by “stripping”? I was wearing pasties.
Her first order of business is to call Midge in to the action. Ter tells her this is a bad idea, but while I don’t think Ter was in on the initial setup, she was certainly an active participant by then. The leopard was out of the bag the minute she told Mel about the stripping thing on camera, and whatever midget hell that unleashed was out of her control.
Ter storms the fashion show looking for the greasy bald guy to tell him off, but having played his part, he’s already gone. Meanwhile, Jacquee is receiving mysterious texts from “a friend” telling her that stuff was going down at the Posche fashion show, and that she should sit tight but that she “wasn’t the target”.
Why this information wasn’t immediately brought forward and all Housewives, AKA potential targets, and then evacuated from the Posche fashion show to prevent collateral damage…well, that’s for Jacquee to say. But we’ll never hear that answer because it will all always be blamed on Teresa.
And that’s the rest of the episode. Everyone blaming Teresa. For everything. And Jacquee having a meltdown, which is also blamed on Teresa despite the boatload of documented stress going on in Jacquee’s life.
Waiting for the car. And blaming Teresa.
Oh, and then of course Midge shows up with Lebanese Dilbert. Midge is out of control, and seems kind of drunk which also explains Lebanese Dilbert in the picture as the driver.
Midge yells and screams and jumps up and down in the parking lot. They try to restrain him in his pen, but he escapes into the Posche fashion show where he runs around like a terrier, yapping at everyone about his wife and where’s the bald man?
Midge and Kim D. come face to face and have a big fight.
Go sniff more lines. (You’re a coke whore)
I play with the big boys. (You’re short)
The Manzos stand around the parking lot, already manipulating facts to support the theory that Teresa is the devil. Actually, they were doing that while they were still inside at the table. Ter plays the social butterfly inside the fashion show, but finally she comes outside to face her family.
Everyone accuses her of setting Mel up. No one says a word about these informative texts Jacquee was receiving all night long. It ends with Ter, Midge and Mel screaming at each other across a parking lot with a security guard shuffling the car away.
And that’s why Jacquee wasn’t at the reunion.
Anyway, there’s lots more little details about the way it all went down - meet you back here for the full story! Kisses, CB

Cluster fuck to the nth degree.
One of the more entertaining episodes of RHoNJ, if you axe me. Why can’t they all be like this…with everyone yelling at Teresa and whatnot???
I am kind of sad the fight took the attention from Kim D’s groundbreaking/trend setting fashion.
The viewer is the true victim here. Kim keep up the good work on your face. I think next year Posche cross with cake face fancy make up and stuff and the show goes internantional. Kim D /lap band say Milian what
Some Guy Bravo announced no more filming of Poshe fashion shows.
Soo. the greaseball didn’t stay long enough to watch the “spectacular” fashion show. Why would he? He was only one of Bravo’s puppets rented for the night. Even though there was a lot of drama in this episode, it felt fake and forced. Some of the commenters noted, that the texts were actually from one of the producers stirring the shit up. Bravo does treat viewers like morons, I’m afraid.
I couldn’t really stand any of them anymore. I am bored with their storylines, there is nothing in their lives I find interesting. If there is another season, Bravo should get a new cast. It seems there is nowhere to go from where they are, and frankly, I don’t care where they would go anyway…
Couple things. First, I don’t care for anyone really on the show. Now, I run into people all the time and they talk to me and I have no effing idea who they are even afterward. So Mel’s “fake” response sounds like me …. I guess I am a memorable person with a terrible memory. Tre easily could have stopped it when greased pig showed up at the table with a simple, hey, how’s you doin since I saw you in dat girly hair place bald man? But Producers clearly encouraged the opposite. Finally, who the F care if she danced or hooked? Honest, it is doesn’t change the fact that girl can’t sing.
Also, what was Teresa’s pigface brother in law doing at a fashion show?
Two things: 1) he and his wife are being considered as “new cast members” for next season; and 2) was he there to “take care” of Teresa should WW3 break out which it almost did at a christening when everybody was looking to punch out everybody else? What a find and upstanding family this bunch is.
But wait, for all the pissing and moaning, for all the damage they have done to their children, for all the grief they claim their families must endure because of their bad behavior in almost every single scene, they will all be back next season for another run at it.
Perhaps next time we will get “lucky” when one of them does some serious physical damage to the other since it looks like in one of the Miami episodes one woman does punch another in the face!
Imagine 20 weeks of watching someone’s wounds heal with apologies all around. Oh the drama!
No more Poshe show !! Now Bravo has really done this time. Kim D will just have to take over the fashion world with out Bravo there/our loss. At least will still be able to watch Mel’s talent as a singer
Awesome and pathetic at the same time.
And the most pathetic? The Manzos – Mama and Daughter. Trying their damndest to stir the shit pot in order to stay relevant.
So the bald head grease ball was there for a day?!?!?!
My take from my favorites to my most hated…
1. Melissa – Say what you want about her, she never stoops to Teresa’s level. So what if she was a stripper? Does Midge care? She knew who the bald guy was….but the way she was set up was way low.
2. Kathy – She really needs to go real old school and slap the hell out of Teresa.
3. Jacquee – I still don’t know why she had a melt down and didn’t go to last year’s reunion. She wasn’t set up. Grow a pair.
4. Caroline – She really has no purpose on the show…she may be a bully but everything she says about Teresa is spot on. She still needs to apologize to Danielle.
5. Teresa – Vile evil nasty skank bitch from hell. Kim D is another piece of garbage. She’s dropping f bombs on the stage…classy. What was her motive to set up Melissa? No way is she ever going to be a regular. Ask Kim G how far being a backstabbing bitch got her this year.
makes sense why Jacquie wasn’t at the reunion. She didn’t want it to come out that she was in on setting up Theresa.
idk, seems like bravo played a huge part in this as well. Too bad a family has to be broken up for ratings.
I still don’t see how Tre is the bad buy in this. The whole thing seemed shady and fake.
@6 Mmmmkate– I like that–”a memorable person with a terrible memory”
@ 7 Katie– agreed- Pete G was there to help Tre and get potential face-time. And we all know a new is coming.
Youse Guys– Cafface can do the fashion shows!!!! I think the name needs tweaking–Cafface! I added !-jazz it up.
I think one more reason for Jaxx to stay away from the reunion is her own past coming out–she was a stripper too right??
I still think Tre had no clue about the whole set up–it was a professional hit by BRAVO–they manipulated two seasons on us little viewers. Jaxx got alot of texts as did Lapband.
I think Tre may get her own show now—-Kathy fired, the Manzos holding out– I think they work as a group. The Manzo boys need the show for a paycheck and to promote their business so Tiny will stay for another season if asked and she will be.
First of all, there is NO WAY Tre was not in on the whole set up. Considering the way she’s been conniving from the beginning. Actually, ever since Dina showed up at her Fabullini launch I’ve just felt she’s been really dirty. And the way she was talking about Jacque stripping in Vegas? So nasty and uncalled for. Tre is vile and even if the producers manipulated the situation, Tre strapped on her heels and went along.
Caro just hates Tre, there’s no going back for her. I would, too. And I am kind of thes ame, once I hate you, forget it. But if she wants to remain above it, she should just stay out of it.
and I do think that Jacque has way too much going on in her personal life to be mired in this mess. I kind of feel bad for her, because it seems just barely keeping it together. AND at least Jacque told the girls something was up. Unlike Tre who knew from the BEGINNING. Considering how “tight” she and Kim are, there is no way she didnt know about it. I dont care what anyone says, Tre knew.
I had anxiety through this whole episode. While most of the drama and arguing seems contrived and fake, this fighting seemed very very real, with the shit stirred up by Bravo. It was uncomfortable to watch. I’m not a fan of any of these ladies, and will admit that I couldn’t BELIEVE I was on Ter’s side in this episode! Jacquee is a freaking WHACK-A-DOODLE. She acts like such a child, her tone of voice, pretending to be sleeping, etc. The reality is, she is TERRIFIED of Caroline, and who could blame her. That is one cranky bitch and her daughter is EXACTLY like her. When Caroline gets on her soap box I wonder how she’ll ever get down on her own. She annoys the living shit out of me. And Kathy…snooze…oh wait, what, is Kathy on???
I really think Tre’s mistake here (if she wasn’t in on it) was not calling Melissa or texting her and telling her what the guy was saying. That way at the show they could have confronted him together (since that’s what she wanted to do right)
Tre always believed that Melissa was a stripper and even if she wasn’t apart of the set up she was happy to let it go on, so she could show everyone she was right about Melissa.
“Why this information wasn’t immediately brought forward and all Housewives, AKA potential targets, and then evacuated from the Posche fashion show to prevent collateral damage…well, that’s for Jacquee to say. But we’ll never hear that answer because it will all always be blamed on Teresa. ” Spot on, ChickBomb! This episode was like a visit to the zoo or a carnival freak show! My head hurts! Must.Stop.Watching!!!
I have been a fan since season one, watch this show religiously and I could not finish this episode. Sick of the everyone vs. Teresa plotlines, all the yelling all the time lol. It gave me a headache. Not sure I can watch the finale either. I think Jaq and DonCaro are full of shit.
I think for next season they should get rid of Jaq and DonCaro, keep Melissa (and Maybe Kathy…I’d like to see Richie go tho he is GROSS) and bring in 2 new people who have a neutral opion of both Gorga/Guidices.
For me the most telling “clue” as to wether Tre was involved or not is her walking away. This is a woman who tried to flip a table because she was told to pay attention. “I don’t want to hear you talk shit about my sister-in-law – so just let me leave the room and you carry on.”
“Maybe it’s you who are setting me up”. “Hold that thought while I go back in and laugh and smile and appear to have lots of fun.”
My favorite line tho – “I was going to cry, but decided not to”
okay, I am going to have to take back what I said earlier and say that I am probably wrong. You guys are right, i did a little digging around on the interwebs, and well – I do think the Producers were the ones who orchestrated StripperGate. And most likely, Teresa did not participate in it. HOWEVER, she handled the fallout all wrong, and part of me thinks she enjoys watching her SIL humiliated to a degree b/c she is so jealous and petty. BUT I dont think she set Mel up.
http://jezebel.com/5946024/real-housewives-of-nj-producer-reveals-just-how-far-reality-tv-will-go-to-manufacture-drama
There were some revealing quotes in this article from a former Producer from the show. Crazy.
@Mimo…I laughed so hard at “I was gonna cry, but decided not to.” too!
This whole stripper thing does not look good for anyone.
Tre, Mel, Jaq, Bravo, Andy.
It’s quite disturbing.
@Chickbomb I’m going to be ROFLing at they try to restrain him in his pen all day now!
@Eyediosmio Yeah, they all pretty much had to “know.” Because even a reality show’s still a tv show. So they have to set up. To get people’s lights fixed right. Hook mikes on everybody that’s got lines. And check them. Put little pieces of duct tape on the floor etc. And go over the scene.
Clicking around you can tell lots of people are real upset. It’s like the day after The Hills ended! Because they know all that. About it being a show. Just some of them now are feeling like the show’s rubbing their nose in it. The same way The Hills did at the end. Specially if they had a favorite.
@kthxbai: You’re so right. But I think what makes this situation soooo much worse is the fact that it’s family and they cant just turn it off when the cameras go away. Which makes it so much ickier. Like, people want to be famous so badly they’re willing to go along with this? and have it ruin your family? So weird.
That’s why I keep it REALLY real and stay off the tv. For the family.
While I still don’t think Teresa was in on the initial “set up” with this guy, I do think she figured it out as soon as he showed up at the table. Did she handle it all wrong – yes. But should she have called him out at the table in front of everyone? Probably not. Obviously there was some producers hand in all of this. And the bald dude DID say that “Kim and Teresa wanted him to do this thing” but ….since he was still mic’d when he said it, I call Bull sh*t and say he was told to say that while mic’d up. Who the hell would he be saying that to?
And Melissa was just a little too calm about the whole thing. I’ve read things about her and Midge (like how she got on the show, things she’s done off camera) that lead me to believe she’s a very calculated person. She knows how to come off for the cameras to look like the victim but I’m not sure I believe it.
And Caroline and that daughter of hers make me ill. And based on Big Al’s behavior this year (at her birthday dinner, etc.) and lack of interest in anything Caro says, I’d say he simply tolerates her and he’s banging something on the side.
How in the world do any of you defend Teresa? She lies constantly. She told Melissa that she never saw the bald guy before while they were in the ladies room. Hello…she does know she has cameras on her right? The fact that she wants to break up her brother’s marriage speaks volumes about who she is as a person. Why is it so important to her let the world know she was a stripper years ago? Is that worse than your husband who committed fraud?
So what if Melissa is connivving to get her 15 minutes. She isn’t trying to ruin Teresa;s marriage. She threw the lawyer who was suing Teresa out of her house. Also…Melissa is trying to launch her singing career and we see her actually singing. Teresa has these best selling cookbooks but how often do we see the bitch actually cooking anything from the cookbooks. The last we saw her she was heating up fronzen chicken tenders.
The “bald guy” had his mic on and said they Kim & Teresa asked him to set up the lead in & Teresa would finish it, her brother in law said good job on finishing that..and the Bald guy is now telling different media outlets that TERESA had asked him to say it was all KimD, and she would pay him to leave her name out because the whole thing back fired and made her look worse than she does already…she wanted to do exactly what Melissa said..use her past at a bar against her so everyone would say oh that’s why Teresa treats her so bad..but it backfired and for all the delusional Teresa fans the BALD GUY admitted it..they brought him in for a day at a salon where he would meet some cast members and they could hear his little story and then decide what to do..that was Bravo’s part…Tre & Kim took it further…in fact HE NEVER said Melissa danced to her face on camera..TERESA did because she lives to discredit her younger, prettier, better husband & kid having sister in law… If Teresa would wake up & just treat Melissa in a polite way she would have her brother back..Joe hates her because she tries to undermine his marriage and relationship with their parents. She is like that little bully kid (with a horrible hairline YUCK) who HAS to be the center of attention and if you love anyone but her she feels threatened and attacks them. Seriously she is soooo delusional in her fake publicist written blogs, and her defense of her husband’s cheating, abusive ways, and criminal activity that I really was starting to feel sorry for her, but you can see when the evil comes out…and boy is she evil…all the bad in her life from shitty kids, bad hairline, to monster husband is KARMA
Amen Iona Trailer!
Teresa Giudice is probably hands down THE most conniving, vindictive Jersey girl ever. She is as fake as they come and it stems from this intense need to keep up appearance. Her husband Joe cheats on her, was caught on camera calling another woman this season and then referring to Teresa as his “c*nt wife”. He is also just plain nasty and I nearly forgot to mention the fact that in October he’ll likely be heading to jail for fraud. A real winner of a husband is what Teresa has. She makes him sleep in another room, complains that he drinks too much and this season it has been alleged that the marriage is for the cameras at this point. Teresa also has four little girls that are extremely disrespectful and nasty. Gia is the oldest and just rude and obnoxious. Milania is 7 and needs some good old fashioned punishment if you catch my drift. She also obviously repeats the things that Teresa says. She talks to her father just as Teresa talks to Joe and it’s not cute on a little kid.
Tre (as they call her) resents her sister-in-law, Melissa Gorga because, quite frankly, everyone else loves her. Melissa is nice and is happy in her marriage to Tre’s brother, Joe. She has 3 kids that seem to be very well behaved, a burgeoning singing career and a happy life. In other words, Tre is jealous of Melissa and tries to vilify her every chance she gets. First Melissa was a goldigger, then a whore, then she would leave Joe for a guy with more money. Now Tre claims that Melissa was a stripper and went to great lengths to try and embarrass her at a fashion show. Tre brought in a man claiming to be Melissa’s former boss at a strip club and had him approach her in front of everyone. It got ugly, extremely ugly and the whole cast instantly smelled a rat and knew that Tre had set Melissa up. Fast forward a year and virtually NO ONE talks to Teresa. At the reunion Teresa is completely in the hot seat the entire time because EVERYONE has an ax to grind with her. She can’t even lean on her husband because he is grilled about cheating on his wife so Tre in her Christmas pageant dress is really left to fend for herself here.
Not only does Melissa say it BUT THE OWNER OF the BAR maintains that she was NOT a dancer, but a bartender by night and that she wore black shorts and a tank top. The man (Angelo) that approached her at the fashion show only was her boss for a week because he usually covered day shift. He later admitted to being asked by Teresa to approach Melissa and she just doesn’t understand what on earth she ever did to Tre to make her want to cause such drama for her. Melissa had tried to work on having a friendship with Tre this season and so being set up completely left her blindsighted because she thought that they were getting along really well. Her husband Joe is also there to confront his sister and her husband. You can tell that Joe Gorga has had more than enough of Tre’s drama and he really believes that he must protect his family from her now.
May I just say I called this a long time ago..Tre does NOT write her own blog .
At the Reunion!
Lauren asks Tre is she writes her own Bravo blog (of course Tre says yes) and then challenges her on it. Lauren has made flash cards using big words from the blog and asks Tre the definition of these words. Teresa has no clue!
Apparently Tre’s blog is as fake as her marriage, which is as fake as her denials of bad behavior are!
Teresa told Melissa she had never met him before that day at the salon – not that she’d never seen him before that night at the table. And I’m pretty sure most of us here see this as entertainment and while some may be “defending” Teresa, I’m doubtful that *most* of the commenters here are emotionally invested in the outcome of this argument/battle between the housewives and who did what to whom. It’s entertainment – not real life. Hell, it’s not even all that real for the housewives themselves.
I agree their family’s got some sad situations. But we don’t even know what those are. Or if they’ve got anything to do with stuff we see on the show.
There’ve been interviews with Angelo Vrohidis going around for more than a yr. That are all kind of the same but also kind of different. And people saying he says 1 thing. And other people saying he said something else. Sometimes the reporters spell it Voorhees or something. But the quotes from him always seem a little odd in the wording. So they get used by all the sides.
Oh because there’s this other side saying it was the salon owner that was mad at Melissa. Who knows why.
Then there’s also quotes from this other guy named Larry Guarino. That was supposed to be the mgr of Lookers. Saying Melissa was a bartender. Like anybody gives a fuck. Except their 80 yr parents. That none of them seem to give a fuck about.
Has anybody started a count down page for Gia’s tell all book yet? Like they had for when the Olsen twins would be legal?
If T had nothing to do with it- and she saw this guy show up to her friends fashion show, wouldnt her first reaction be to go to her friend, Kim, and say what the heck is he doing here? I told you I didnt want him talking about my family and then you invite him to your show??? She was trying VERY HARD to get Mel to go confront him. Why? Because she wanted a public scene. I think Kim and T set the whole thing up. The guy didnt even work for the salon, but for the ONE day that T happens to go there….when she normally does not? Kim invited her there and she didnt say no even though she has her own makeup and hair person? I’m just happy the salon did a terrible job on her hair and makeup!!
@jomama – exactly
“I don’t want to talk about my family and I would appreciate it if you wouldn’t either. But let me step out of the room so you can talk about my family.”
I am assuming Tre let this go down to distract attention from her finances and cheating and stealing hubby.
Wow does Jac let loose in her blog. She makes some good points.
Teresa wants money and attention, as they all do, but I think she needs it more than anyone else. Think back to Punta Cana when she was trying on bikini’s for the group. Or all the costume changes in the RV. Most of her outfits look like How many times have we seen her desperate attempts to make the viewers think that Joe is hot for her? When she begs him for sex in the vineyard…pathetic. She has copied Bethenney’s ‘Skinny Girl’ business plan..’Skinny Italian’?…but then goes on to say that the SG margarita mix tastes bad. Her ego seems to need endless stroking, and I think she needs to be in the center of attention no matter what it costs, or what she has to do to stay there.
I have no doubt that the whole show is fake and contrived. I bet all these people hate each other, but not for the reasons the storyline feeds us. The finale definitely needs to have drama, and all the story lines had pretty much gone flat. The producers no doubt came up with the plan to disgrace Melissa, but Teresa went along with it. She is probably so afraid of losing her spot that she does whatever she’s told to. The biggest evidence to that fact IMO, is that she told Melissa, on camera, that the guy was saying she had been a stripper. That too, was probably a direction she’d been given, but if she had been sincerely trying to keep that out of the show, she wouldn’t have done it.
I don’t know what’s more pathetic…the people on the show,or us, the viewers who watch it, read about and comment on it! LOL
Oops…
*look like stripper clothes
I say this whole thing is a big Bravo set up. The whole thing seemed contrived, stupid, and clumsy, especially when the Manzo women were just hanging around like dingleberries waiting for their cue from the director (Caroline – act outraged; you there, fat Manzo girl, repeat Mama Manzo’s words).
In the past, Bravo set up these situations with a bit more elan and editorial skills. Here, they were about as crude as their stars.
@NotaNJHousewife –
“I don’t know what’s more pathetic…the people on the show,or us, the viewers who watch it, read about and comment on it! LOL”
Made me spit my diet coke across the room – LOL! We are pathetic, aren’t we? But it’s so. much. fun.
Bitchylady-
Yeah. I’m pretty much appalled at how much fun it is.
Isn’t it kind of like seeing every girlfriend you ever hated getting her comeuppance? When Caroline said to Teresa “You’re a disgrace!” I knew exactly how satisfying that must have felt in the moment. But then, when she cried after it was all over, I understood that too. Because when you finally get to hurt someone the way you’ve wanted to, you realize that it was really always about you.
Since when does Caroline hug Joe Gorga so much? At the end, she finally got her way and everyone hates Theresa and of course Lauren who is still breastfeeding is right beside her!! Now that Albie is single again which I am sure she wanted to get as far away from Caroline Albie and Chrikopher can move back home.
@Jason That might be how come that producer got fired. Every 1 of the strippergate scenes made Dance Moms look like a hidden camera Discovery Channel tribe documentary.
And we know it’s not the cast’s fault. Just think how good that christening scene was! Nobody in the world can think the words “Audriana left unattended” without busting out laughing now.
But with this sorry ass mess we didn’t get any memes at all. It’s just plain unprofessional.
Don’t think Tre was involved but I’m sure she enjoyed it. We all know she was only trying to get along with Melissa for the sake of her brother, it’s not that she just one day woke up and suddenly liked/loved her. It’s so confusing when people say, “she flips tables so why didn’t she flip out on that guy?’ I’m sure beneath the facade she was still hating Melissa despite the attempts to get along.
Still feel Bravo set this up and that Tre was jittery because she began to pick up on the set up after it had already begun and was scared she’d be the scapegoat, which ofcourse she was. If she really wanted to set Melissa up without implicating herself, she wouldn’t have gone to the salon, the guy could have just come to the PFS and outed Melissa at the table and no one would have suspected Tre. Her being at the salon earlier seems like someone making sure she WOULD be suspected.
Not that she’s not vile, because she is. It’s like she can’t stop herself from making passive aggressive remarks (like the comment about Bethenny’s drinks tasting ‘diet-y’). There’s no one likeable on this show but the villain in this PFS set up is not Tre, it’s Bravo and while they’ve been steering story lines all along, they were way WAY too heavy handed with this last episode. This season in general has been a mess what with the out of order episodes, back to back filming of seasons, and season 3 reunion filming after season 4 filming. A mess!
I’ve seen some clips from the reunion and I’ll just say wow. Teresa sure gets some low blows in and if I’d never seen and ep of the show I’d call her a witch but what with all the ganging up on her (on the show and on blogs) and the low blows the Manzos in particular have thrown her way over two seasons, I’d say she deserves to let loose. More than anything it was kind of satisfying for me to see her tell Caro that her kids didn’t have jobs prior to Black water. Tre’s a bitch but its time for someone to burst Caro’s bubble about her useless kids.
I don’t really like any of these woman (thank you Danielle). They’re all pretty annoying and vile. Well, Kathy’s more boring than vile. BUT I just hate it that everyone thinks since Tre’s the easiest target to hate they should all dump on her. SURE, let’s make it look like Tre set saintly Mel up. Everyone will go for that. I agree with a poster above that no one, neither the family nor Bravo seems to give a shit what all this is doing to the Gorga parents. This was all fake drama (based on real existing emotions) and took willing participants to carry it out. Shame on them all. I used to think Andy Cohen’s schtick was cute. Not so much anymore.

@ Karen – I remember in an earlier season Lauren didn’t know what “democracy” meant, so I’m not sure I’m trusting that she would know what any of those words meant either, lol. Those Manzo kids can’t do anything w/o looking over at mommy first. The boys are panty wastes and Lauren is just bitter, bitter, bitter and cranky.
While Teresa is an ass, Lauren and Caro annoy the fuck outta me. Firstly, Lauren, you’re not a fucking housewife, so stop riding your mother’s belly rolls to get camera time. Secondly, Caroline, shut the fuck up. This is not your family mess so for all the “I’m staying out of it” since the first episode of this season, you NEVER stayed out of it. So fuck off. Teresa’s a moron, but seeing the whole group jump at her makes them all look like assholes. Flashcards Lauren? Really? HEY I have an idea, why don’t you shove those flashcards up your ass and gain three lbs. from the fibers and complain about how your parents love your brothers more?
And Jacqui, you git, while I sympathize for your child, you my dear a twit. Her talking heads where she is surprised about her dead friendship with Teresa and the shock of it all! Didn’t she tell Teresa she didn’t want to be her friend anymore and wanted space? Despite the “making up” b.s. on their little trip, Jacqui was the first to try and axe that friendship, so how fucking dumb are you? You’re offended because you wanted this friendship after you originally shut her down about some bullshit about magazines and money? Girl, bye. You knew your friend was a hustler and doing what she can for cash, what you should be mad at was her using your name. What these bitches each forget is that ALL OF THEM are trying to hustle for a brand or a product, none of them are innocent. And hey Melissa? That was the worst acting ever. Her staring at the bald guy like a deer in the headlights? Please. And why the fuck did no one at the table ask who that dude was? How interesting that everyone was looking at him talk to Mel but when he walks away nobody felt curious enough to ask who he was? Please. Had it been Teresa and the bald dude, bug eyed Kathy and can’t sing Melissa would have been three types of curious asking who he was. Please. And if you did not want your sperm flinging husband to show up to the event, why the fuck call him them? You knew his bleary eyed ass was going to roll up with Lebanese Dilbert to start some shit. Then whispering to your husband in the car to yell shit out at his sister when you were driving off, really? Fuck outta here with that stupidity.
These bitches are all ridiculous. I hope that next season Teresa won’t be on so we can see who they turn on next.
um… I think I’ve fulfilled my quota for this week of use of the word “please” :X
Clouds! Co-sign on everything you said. Manzopause and her brood make me ill. Lauren didn’t even know what a highway mile marker was. Dumb ass!
Until Tre’s kids grow up with out getting preggars, drug addicts, bankruptcy, drunken driving arrests, etc she should keep her mouth shut about other people’s kids.
I’m a little late to this party but I have two points:
1. Jac didn’t go to the reunion b/c she didn’t want to get called out for being a stripper too. There is NO way she could have handled that and, I’m sure it was right when Nicholas was being diagnosed and if they didn’t know what was wrong and say the state had to come in to check out the welfare of the child she didn’t want that on her rap sheet. Not that that would have anything to do with his final diagnosis but the state would not know that at first.
2. I felt you could REALLY see just how calculating Melissa can be when she told Kim G to “Take a Walk.” then smile all pretty at the girls and camera and apologize. Then when she was in the truck leaving with Joe (was he drunk driving at that point if LebDil had to drive him there?) and she told Joe G. to scream at Tre, she literally used the word SCREAM. “Shame on you!” then, when he went on a rant she tried to reel him back in by cooing “Shame…” again. Neither interaction were classy or Pius of her.
I call profesh hit by Bravo.
Here’s an interesting fact: Posche Fashion Show of 2012 is being held at the Brownstone this year. Bravo will not be taping it. Ah….. ok Caroline.
Did Tre set up Melissa? Don’t know. Don’t care. What I find the most appalling is that she kept walking away while other people were talking smack about her SIL. As if her walking away were the equivalent to Pontious washing his hands.
I don’t get along with my sister. She’s one of those people who goes through life not doing the right thing, but always, and I mean always, ending up on top. If she had car trouble and called me for a ride – I’d tell her to call a cab. That being said, I couldn’t just walk away while someone talked smack about her. Only I’m allowed to do that.
She needed to tell Angelo “I asked you to not talk about Melissa” and needed to tell Kim D not to talk about Melissa. And if Kim D wouldn’t stop – go home and have someone else do your makeup. This isn’t some meek young lady. This is Tre. Tell me to pay attention and I’ll flip this table at you. Suggest that I didn’t visit my nephew in the hospital and I’ll throw Andy around like he’s a rag doll.
I wonder if Caro will walk since it’s not being filmed. I hate that we’re all feeding into this BS and no one is ever going to come clean on the set up.
Total BS.
I’m not sure why anyone would be on Tre’s side at all. She’s getting back exactly what she did to Danielle – being a total bitch, lining everyone up against her, and everybody loved it. Now people are squawking tha Bravo set up poor Teresa.
She’s a stupid, mean twat who I believe was TOTALLY in on the setup. She panicked when it didn’t go down like she wanted. Melissa did not start screaming and flailing, and the other Housewives did not throw up their hands in horror that she might have a “past.” Joe didn’t throw her aside in disgust – he came to her defense, and Tre tried to run away and deny it all.
She’s an evil viper. Her 15 minutes will be up soon, her cheating Neanderthal of a husband will be in jail, and she’ll have to do a real tapdance to support her talentless, loudmouthed brood.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer bitch.
@Dawn – tell us how you really feel. Well said.
@ 31 Karen– I always knew that too—even in Tre’s “talking heads” the words and phrases she used (especially in anything legal) were too advanced for her. The way she speaks on camera in her scenes is unlike her publicist and lawyer driven speech.
I think ( and have said many times) that Tre is a reactive, un-self-examined person. She is jealous of her sister-in-law in that brother Joe has another woman that he loves. Alot of mothers behave this way too when their sons marry or even date. They lose the attention, flip out and thus begins alot of drama and manipulation to get the son’s/brother’s attention back into the fambly.
@41 Bitchy–you are bitch-tacular!!! I agree–we are a sad group-and I would not change a one of us!!
@ 52 Gypsy– roger that !!! Jaxx was a stripper and didn’t want to deal with it and BRAVO pulled a Corleone in spades. And I believe that baby Nick ( squishy baby of NJ ) is autistic.
@ 53 Cloudy– no way !!!!!!!!! I wonder if the lovely and svelte-ish Lapband Manzo will be walking????
And two things until full-cap: Lapband and Tiny have two of the foulest mouths I have ever heard on either men or women. They are classless.
And–reach back in your memories Youse Guys—on the coming attractions for this season does anyone else remember seeing a clip where I think its Tre saying that Dina told her that Tiny was looking to take Tre down–OR we see Dina saying to Tre “Caroline is looking to take you down”
It’s really unfortunate that very few people notice, that which ever Housewife on either of the Housewives shows makes the most of their given Platform, becomes the Target. I LOVE TRE, who has become the most successful of them all.
One of my huge annoyances in life is to see a well dressed women in designer clothing from Neiman Marc and Saks and her children trailing behind her in washed up, faded out cottons from target and Walmart (where is the equality)? My mom is a well dressed women of three well dressed girls & I am a well dressed mother of one well dressed little girl. I wear Burberry etc, and so does my seven year old daughter. It’s only fair that you share your fashionable resources with your offspring. I totally relate to Tre. She dresses the “ish” out of those little girls (Love it and her)! Fashion equality for your offspring goes a long way for me.
Mel is a copy cat, which I hate, because ALL of my EX friends were huge copy cats of me (and overly envious)!
Caroline and her daughter are ugly, fat and hate themselves (really sad to see). Alby is clearly gay, as his uncle is. Who were they fooling with that “new girlfriend, the Sexy Decoy.” Whomever that guy is that lives with them is Alby’ s significant lover (sure he was seriously offended when they bought in the “Sexy Decoy”, to divert the attention from Alby’s homosexuality). Speaking of gay, Mel’s husband is gay as well (his homosexual acts are prevalent during both seasons).
Mel and Joe (Tre’s brother) are pedi and mani buddies, that decided to get married and legally swap fashion ideas and raise incredible children together (nothing wrong with that). We all have a girlfriend that married their gay best friend. Tre’s brother is jealous that he was not born a women like his sister and allows his wife to constantly show her and his envy toward his sister.
They are ALL jealous of Tre, who is rolling in the fame she has made from RHONJ. Is it her fault that she has the most star power? They would all love to be on magazine’s and the Trump show. Trump only brings in the most popular housewife, with all the personality.
Lastly why are the Manzo men constantly labeled as good looking? Non of the Manzo’s are attractive.
One more lastly… I hate when people judge someones character based off of their bankruptcy issues F/C, etc. Life is a bitch, especially when it comes to money. Do whatever it is that you need to do, to give your kids the “illusion” that they grew up “well off” ,they’ll find out later in adulthood that mommy and daddy were faking it, however, the benefits of all the faking will last forever. Poor on paper rich on the eye, Love you Tre!
