   Did last night really happen?????

   Also, again forever, always I hate Caroline Manzo. And why is Vito not in a van with LapBand not that I can blame him.

   Are they really not going to let Vito and Lauren sleep in the same RV ? While Albie had his girlfriend move into his apartment? With the money they spent on camping supplies they could have booked a hotel.

   @Sandra, I assume that Mama Manzo will stop paying the rent for that Hoboken apartment once she finds out that her son is shacking up.

   Also, did anyone else watch Teresa and Renee Graziano on WWHL last night? I’ve come to realize that I’ll only watch Miss Andy’s show depending on who the guests are. (Which, for the life of me, I can’t explain why I was transfixed when Willie Garson and RHOC Heather were on, but I think my remote control had fallen on the floor and I was too lazy to pick it up.)

   Teresa and Renee playing Andy’s version of $25,000 pyramid should be an instant classic. Teresa also being somewhat normal and Renee using her inside voice was actually fairly scary; when Andy is sober and not spastic and the guests aren’t drunk, the show is off its axis somehow. Although, last night’s feature “bartender” had something to add to the conversation and I was annoyed that she kept trying to be funny and only Andy was laughing.

   The episode was dull and uneventful. How many more episodes are left in this season?

   Serious question time: When did baseball caps become trucker caps? What a boring episode, the least they could have done was not blurred out the dicks so we all could have a few laughs! Look forward to your totally made up recap!

   @Derek – I watched that too. Did you catch Andy saying something to Theresa about the reunion and she looks at him and asks what reunion (he says he’ll tell her during the break) . What a freaking moron! Um, Theresa there is always a reunion after the season.

   I remember when this season started and they showed what was coming up for the season, they were showing an episode where Theresa has Melissa ‘s old boss from her strip club days show up and something about Jaq also being a stripped. What ever happened to that? Have they cut it out of the season, no body even talks about it. I remember it was Theresa’s way of getting even with Mel for something. Does anyone else remember this or am I crazy?

   @featherhead, I may be giving Teresa too much credit, but I think she made that comment about the reunion because Renee had made a comment along the same lines regarding her husband, Junior. I have to believe that Teresa knows there will be a reunion, but that she doesn’t give a shit about the other members of the cast, which was the intimation that Renee was giving about her husband. I assumed Miss Andy was being a dimwit and couldn’t follow one thought to the next (which I guess would be difficult with Teresa and Renee).

   I agree with Derek about Tre.

   Andy looked like he was going to piss his pants the entire half hour of WWHL.

   After watching Teresa and Melissa interact last night, anyone believe this feud is made for TV?

   Good question Feather. Wasn’t that the reason Jackie didn’t show up at the reunion? I forgot who pointed out the funky editing last week, but I think that is going to be the end of the season maybe?

    That was Vito in my post to Sheesh. @labowner – I wouldn’t be surprised – there seems to be a lot of sleight of hand going on, like they’ve moved episodes out of order and may have added extras to make up for it. Filming ended when? And there shouldn’t be that many more episodes this season. When are they filming the reunion? Caroline last week on WWHL said she hadn’t seen of spoken to the Giudices in a year (when they filmed) I find it very very odd.

    I am with you on that Feather–BRAVO is funking with the order of everything. I say we judge by Tiny’s hair color. That is as good an indicator as the leaves on the trees. We all know how “creative” the next season will be.

    Although the idea of camping in a parking lot seems soooooo boring to me, give me the woods or beach any day.

    Gawd, The PCH is beautiful, for them to hover in some parking lot for four days is just producers dying for drama.

    Also, how obscene was the shopping scene? How many grills did they buy? Are they just going to throw them away before they fly back? WTF? Did that gross anyone else out?

    I only camp at the Hilton (and by Hilton, I mean Best Western), so I was so confused by the RVs. When you rent an RV, you aren’t given basic supplies like plates and silverware? They spent 4 grand on supplies, which truly confused me considering 1/2 the couples are bankrupt. At the end of the trip they just throw it all out? I can’t wrap my brain around it…

    The graphic depicting their travel across country was first rate and very helpful, I always thought California was next to Germany.

    When the families were in the store buying supplies, I thought that I was watching an episode of supermarket sweepstakes. So I started yelling “go get the ham!!! The ham is the most expensive. What are these assholes doing?”

    Being from the Pacific Northwest I had to chuckle that Theresa thought because they were “in the west” they should wear fringe, feathers, turquoise or whatever that illiterate b.s. was streaming out of her pie hole. Yup Tre, nothing says native American culture like wine tastings in Sonoma. The depth and breadth of her willful ignorance never cease to make me fear for the future of our country.

    lmao Classydrunk, I thought the same thing.
    They were morons when it came to buying stuff, but I do have a feeling Bravo was behind the shopping spree somehow. Probably the most WTF item was Caro buying that portable faux-flame fireplace heater thing.

    I watched WWHL last night and I came away with a different impression. Andy seemed to be bored with Tre’s schtick. You know being confused about why everyone’s mad at her. “Guys, you know me, I don’t hold grudges. I love everybody. I don’t cause no problems.” Andy also seems to be over Vicky and Nene. Once a cast member believes they are the show (ala Jill Zarin), he isn’t playful with them anymore. I think the comment about the reunion alluded to something else. Last season’s reunion was held while they were still filming the season we are currently watching. I’m guessing Tre wasn’t thrilled when Jacs refused to participate. I wonder if there isn’t some kind of threat. The rumor is she’s asking for more money.

    The only reason they were camping in a ‘parking lot’ is because they rented such huge RVs to begin with.
    To be able to drive an RV into a campground on the beach or in the forest, there is usually size limit – max length, max height, and max weight. Only the RVs that qualify under these conditions are allowed thru the gates by the rangers. For all bigger RVS, you either park for the night in a public parking lot (like Walmart – they openly invite people to do so), or you have to stay overnight at an RV Campground. That is where these RHONJ morons ended up. The reason for this setup is so you can hook up to the septic line, and replenish your clean and grey water. Since the RVs are very heavy and would drown in mud had there been a storm over a regular campground, the sites are either paved with concrete or asphalt, to ensure easiest cleanup and greatest longevity of the site.
    If you’re lucky, the site is wide enough that you can actually pull out your ‘extensions’, unroll your awnings, and often put down your astro-turf. But in places that are extremely popular, they try to squeeze in as many RVs as possible, so the sites get smaller. Sometimes you end up with the windows of the bus next door about 2 feet away from you.
    As to rentals and included ‘amenities’ – generally all stuff that is not ‘nailed’ to the floor or walls you have to bring in yourself. But the point is that you buy one of each thing you think you will need (e.g. one BBQ for the whole group, one set of pots and utensils per bus, etc.) You do not have everybody run around and just keep buying whatever falls into their hands, including artificial flowers and 15 beach chairs. When you rent as a matter of custom, you aleady have everything prepared, and just bring it with you. It is morons like the RHONJ bunch who show up unprepared, having done no research at all, and then gleefully support the local economy by throwing away thousands of $$ on stuff they can never take back with them to NJ. Oh, RV store reps loooooooove people like that…

    @Pillania I thought the exact same thing with the cheesy graphic and shopping spree lol…

    Did they not have enough footage that they needed to fill us all in on how exactly they got to CA from NJ? With a graphic that I ( a graphic design idiot- couldnt design a website to save my like) could have thrown together with photoshop?

    I think this season is getting boring and I really do not like ANY of them any more. I can’t tolerate Don Caro anymore. The only entertaining part is Milania IMO

    1. I think they should have rented a bus and forced them all to drive to Pittsburgh together. That would have gotten the fireworks going.

    2. I had to agree with Teresa when she was saying they were staying in a parking lot. It was a let down.

    3. Mel was being nice when she was telling Teresa maybe it’s her…..because it is.

    4. What planet is Teresa on when she says she doesn’t hold a grudge? The bitch is the freaking World Champion at holding grudges.

    5. Lauren Manzo was a waste of sperm and an ovum.

    6. I want to see Tarzan….in person.

    7. Big Gay Greg racked up some butch points for driving the RV. I wonder if he spooned Albie at night?

    8. Lindsay is the hottest beard evar!

    9. I laughed my ass off with Ritchie walking around with a boner. Too bad Rosie wasn’t there to rip his dick off.

    10. Joe Guidice is a scumbag.

    Gypsy – IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

    Now I am starting to wonder if they scrapped the whole fashion show scene (it was filmed at the beginning of the season – the night before the reunion was taped correct?) and that is why this episode looks pieced together.

    Polk8dot rain in NorCal during the summer? Wish it happened.

    Had I known they were here and had so much crap to leave behind, I would have been the one man gathering what the other men spilled.

    I’m gonna say they cut the scene out, probably on some kind of agreement with Jac…she was tweeting last year that she quit the show..and they threw in the bogus Napa trip to find something else to do with this season.

    Just drop the hammer Bravo and end it. I can’t stand this cast anymore!

I haven’t watched this season other than a rerun here and there, and thru reading your caps….*yawn*. I don’t see how you make this shit interesting, but I love ya for it.

    This Napa trip took place the end of August last year. The Posche Fashion show took place Sept. 1oth 2011, a day before the Season 3 reunion. So, according to Season 4′s confused time line it hasn’t happened yet.

    So…yeah. This episode was one long, boring Camping World advertisement. Remember the nifty camping store that Jon Rich wrote the little diddy about while pimping their RVs on the Apprentice & where Dionne lost her shit because of the hussy? That dumb ass shopping spree they went on was just like that one and there’s no way in hell they paid for that shit.

    Vito not being on the same bus as Lauren was beyond dumb as hell.

    Carolyn…STFU!

    Teresa…You’re an IDIOT! Yes moonshine is hard ‘lickher’, you don’t insult your surroundings to people who CHOSE to come there and probably already think you’re a moron, AND if you add an er to the end of a word there’s no need to put MORE in front of it. You’re making me more dumber and I feel like drinking some hard lickher while telling my neighbor that her yard that I’m standing in sucks! UGHHH! BTW…It IS you and not EVERYBODY ELSE!

    I think the are manipulating footage to extend the season or go to Season 6 (if thats what we are up to)
