   What a shock that the right wing troll Elizabeth sided with Teresa.

   Melissa looks fierce. I think that is Teresa’sproblem.

   I think the hosts of The View need to be replaced. They just show up for work and don’t have a clue what questions to ask or only know two things about the people they are interviewing. They are on RHNJ and they don’t get along. Maybe they should do a little homework at least one know what you are talking about so you can ask better questions and get the answers the viewers want. You want to be a host do a little work ask your aid to research and get some information about the guess first.

   When I saw that monkey photo and the name Teresa Giudice I thought, “Did she have another kid?” So glad I wasn’t drinking my coffee when I saw this! You would have ruined another computer monitor, Flip! How many do you think you have ruined in your Tvgasm life span?

   And don’t the producers know Teresa doesn’t speak da Eng-bul-ish lainguage?

   I just like to watch her hairline, much like the polar icecaps, slide slowly towards her eyebrows. If anything, she should be on the NatGeo channel, for reals.

   And Elizabeth Hasselbeck is a phony, disgusting, emaciated idiot. Go back to Survivor where you belong.

   Slow clap…

   I think Elisabeth sided with Tre b/c of the mom supporting her kids thing— Lizzy is big on that and rightly so. She started on a reality show (Survivor 2 I think) and had a couple of opportunities from it. Now she shills tacky clothing on QVC , sports equipment and a cookbook or diet book for those with celiac disease. Hmmmmmm…Elisabeth has quite well for herself.

   I just want to meet this amazing husband Teresa kept saying she had. I wonder why she chooses to be on a show with an asshole that should be killed playing her husband, when she has such an amazing one she could use instead. I feel cheated!

   Maybe I suck, too, but I side with Teresa on this one. She was casted on a show, became the breakout star of their franchise, and her family resented her. Then they plot to get on the show, too, without even telling her. Wouldn’t you feel betrayed? Also, why do you think Bravo decided the Walkile’s were good Tv unless they said they were prepared to enter into a conflict with Teresa? Someone posted a link with evidence that Melissa was in contact Danielle, feeding her info about Teresa. That’s why Danielle asked at the reunion of Teresa not visiting her newborn nephew. Turns out she did go to the hospital, but Juicy Joe didn’t. Either way, the rumor was manipulated enough to show a fissure in Tre’s family and Melissa got what she wanted.

   That’s why I think think Caroline is such a hypocrite. If two of her siblings were signed to the show without her knowledge she wouldst feel the same way. Plus, half of them aren’t speaking to her! She’s lucky her family is boring as hell or else Bravo would’ve casted relatives that hate her, too. But I can’t stomach another Manzo/Laurita on my screen so Caroline’s secret will have to remain just that.

   @lisamarie I don’t watch the view but if these two interviews are indicative of their MO, then I wholeheartedly agree with you. They were unable to ask a substantial question. And when BaBaWaWa said that Tre had to take a back seat to those two phonies I cringed. Damn, watch a show or read the back story….anything but this drivel.

   @sheesh must have puppy now!

   @sarcasatire everything you said is accurate….Caroline would have been furious and the Wakiles all have less personality than a post it….not to mention the smarm factor….yugh!

   Teresa was the breakout star??? Really??? Dina was the star of the first season. Teresa only got noticed once her lunatic side surfaced for the camera when she flipped the table on Danielle.

   Caroline is always the Housewife in the front on the promos so obviously Miss Andy considers her the star of the show.

   Teresa is just the side show

    Dina was the star of Season 1. I believe she was the reason why the fambly was signed on as she had been on that other reality show for her wedding. She was in front of all of the other ladies in the promos like Caroline is today. Teresa was the comic sidekick .

    Agreed. Dina was the star because of the conflict with Danielle. Not until Teresa flipped the table did she really hit the radar. I mean remember ALL the hoopla about her leaving in season two.

    The whole series was off the radar until Teresa flipped the table. Putting the short, squat one in the middle does not a star make. It’s just simple aesthetics. Being the star doesn’t mean being the most likeable, it means being the most recognizable…and that’s Teresa. The tableflip, the cookbooks, the tabloid covers, the bankruptcy, Joe’s arrest, Celeb Apprentice… Teresa is and has been the most talked about Jersey Housewife…for Bravo, ratings gold.

    Damn you Barbara WaWa for making me feel a fleeting moment of sympathy for Tre.
    I’ll give her “four beautiful daughters” (even Milania is cute in her own simian kinda way), but yeah, where is this wonderful husband hiding?? Is he figment of Tre’s imagination? I NEED TA KNOW!!!

    …but Teresa was not packaged as the star of the show in Season 1. She becane more of the focus in Season 2 before the money issues hit the fan. Dina was the intended focus of Season 1.

    Currently…Teresa has replaced Danielle as the villian.

    Have any of you noticed that in this season’s opening…..Melissa is featured second? I think Teresa was last year and now she’s after Melissa.

    Miss Andy is banking that Melissa will be the bigger star in the long run. She’s just more likable.

    @caligirl…I feel your pain! I ranted on the NJ cap that Caroline’s holier than thou attitude was making me want to side with Ter & that shit is NOT COOl!

    And idk you guys, the whole ‘they stole my show’ excuse doesn’t fly with me. I think Bravo smelled gold when Danielle mentioned the baby @ the reunion &Teresa flipped out, so they called her family & they jumped at the opportunity, which I believe they would’ve done even if Teresa wasn’t involved. Melissa definitely wanted to be on display by any means necessary, so I think her motive was fame, not to ‘bring Teresa down’. That was just a bonus for her lol

    @iona: “…but Teresa was not packaged as the star of the show in Season 1.”

    That’s precisely why I used the term “breakout star.” No one planned it, no one saw it coming, yet that’s what happened. The problem though, is that Bravo tried to make her the central focus these past two seasons, bringing in her family drama. I don’t want to focus on Teresa, even if she’s ratings gold…I like her flitting in and out of scenes, calling Joe “Juicy” and wrangling Milania. But now we have to care about her relatives, too? Joe Gorga is fine on his own, he’s entertaining. But Melissa? Besides her conflict with Teresa, what does she have? She’s not witty, funny, or remotely interesting. Likeable, yes. But not a Housewives star. And the Walkiles.. do they have their own storyline yet? Gas stations and cannolis…yawn.

    @fancyface: The two aren’t mutually exclusive. Melissa wanted fame. She wanted Teresa to include her in the show but it was Teresa’s call to make. But they also resented Teresa for not putting her family on the show like the Manzos. Melissa fed Danielle that line about the baby which led to Melissa getting on the show. But Bravo only wanted Melissa on the show to fight with Teresa, not because Melissa had an interesting storyline herself.

    “Melissa definitely wanted to be on display by any means necessary, so I think her motive was fame, not to ‘bring Teresa down’.”

    Her only ticket to fame was signing on to bring Teresa down! Lol, that’s the irony of it all. If Teresa was not a central part of the show, the Gorgas and the Walkiles would not have been casted at all.

    @caligal and fancyface: Me too! I’m not proud about siding with Teresa but Caroline is so much worse that I can’t help it. The same with Babwa. I hate her so I much that I automatically like whoever she hates. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. LOL!

    Gotta agree with Teresa becoming the breakout star when she flipped that table. I really thought there wouldn’t be a second season until she did that. I also think that one episode changed the tone for all the franchises and turned them into the Jerry Springerish crap they are today.

    “Dear The View, SHUT THE FUCK UP. Teresa is about as intelligible as a spilt bowl of alphabet soup with a forehead the size of an elementary school eraser. What real job is she gonna get? Money is basically falling out of the sky and you think she should just get off your TV because you don’t believe reality TV is a worthy career choice? FUCK YOOOOOOOU!!”

    HA! Flipit, you say exactly what I wish I had said, or even better, what I wish Tre had said to the View harpies.

    @sac…..Oh they definitely wouldn’t be on the show if it wasn’t for the conflict! That was the reason why Bravo went after them. I’m not arguing with that. I just don’t think the issues with Teresa was the driving force behind them signing on. I think they wanted to be on the show for what it could do for them personally. I DO believe, however, that they knew why they were chosen & didn’t care as long as they got to join, which, IMO, is beyond questionable! So maybe if I didn’t think that Teresa is such a shitty person, I’d probably have a bigger problem with it. But given my opinion of her…eh

    Man, I hate Barbara Walters, like she is soooo above watching a Housewives show in that second clip. People who watch The View are on a much higher plane, I ah-shoooom. If that’s what Barbara thinks, then she shouldn’t have the stars of these “inferior” shows on her gift to television.

    @ Flipit – amazeballs as usual. I can only parrot crankyguy about how spot-on your analysis of Ter’s economic prospects are! Everything she does has me mentally ticking off that $11M debt and hoping she is making a dent for her daughters’ sake.

    @sarcasatire – I am overwhelmingly in your mind-frame, I hate hate hate defending Teresa because I have found her repugnant from the beginning but I think all the accusations and rumors of Melissa and Kathy coming on the show for nefarious purposes are probably more true than false. I have grown to love Kathy but I feel there is a calculating and true fame-whore bitch motivation behind Melissa that is so easily glossed over in the face of T and Juicy Joe’s pathological stupidity.

    I also found Barbara annoyingly baiting in the beginning over T not wanting a mini-RHONJ reuinion playing out on morning (I assume time of day bc I don’t watch this festering sludgey suck-hole of a show) televisi b. That was a reasonable stance given time between seeing them and format of the show; I’m sure it was even her agent that recommended it,ecause it was actually wise! However Barbara had to throw in a dig about her whole life being played out for cameras. True enough, but coming from someone who reveals a decades-old affair with a married man for publicity and has to be filmed behind a quart jar of vaseline smeared on every camera lense since her stint on 20/20 in the early 90s, I find that ripe.

    Also, although pat and not enough of the story, Teresa’s (coached) question about Joy’s feelings if finding out her family was going to be on the View Monday morning is a fair analogy that the old biddies just ignored in favor of the sound of their own leathery jowls flapping questions they thought up after reading one issue of US.

    She is abominable but her show is very popular, am I being myopic or does anyone truly watch The View?

    Could it be that The View hens were upset that Teresa refused to boost their ratings by fighting on their show? I mean, that is why the booked Teresa and Melissa on the same show right? I love that Teresa shut that shit down. All that ‘above it all’ crap Babwa was spewing was just sour grapes.

    Hmmm but they have seen each other since Christmas, for Gia & Milanias joint birthday, there’s a picture and a story floating out there someday about that because there was 2 birthdays. One for a bunch of the girls’s friends and one for close family and friends and the Gorgas and their children were only invited to the bigger party even though T and M both claim Antonia and Milania are little besties. It was a big to do that they weren’t invited to the 2nd party but Melissa went to the first one with her kids. That’s my problem with Teresa. If she’d just admit that she could care less about patching things up with either Kathy or Melissa. What has Kathy even done to her that is so terrible? Is it the unattended comment? She admits that her and Kathy haven’t been friendly for a long time, prior to them joining the show, but for some reason Kathy should have begged pleaded and groveled for T’s permission to join the show?

    Same with Melissa. They weren’t on good terms, it’s a business opportunity they don’t need her permission and I truly don’t think they went on the show with the intention of starting a brawl at their owns sons christening all in the name of making T look bad. Also, Melissa isn’t smart enough to manipulate a take down of T. And according to her this whole they went behind my back things is kind of untrue. I mean none of these ladies are perfect (except maybe Kathy) so take it with a grain of salt. . . http://melissagorga.co/Blog-.html?entry=the-view

    And honestly I don’t see how her and her brothers problems are about Melissa. It’s about WAY more than Melissa (although she is definitely a factor) she is just a convenient scapegoat.

    I do feel bad for Teresa just like I felt bad for Danielle when everyone decided to hate her and then decided they were justified because she didn’t have a perfect past. It was so annoying all that “I can’t have that sort of person around my kids” as if this woman would ever be babysitting off camera with their children. But like with Danielle Teresa brings a lot of it on herself. And it doesn’t help that she has the worst husband ever. There’s is definitely a little jealousy there because Joey would never talk to M like that. He is just sexually crude and playful which is a thousand times better than verbally abusive.

    I get why Jac, Mel are team anti-Teresa but Caroline needs to shut it. I haven’t liked this woman since she sat their and tried to bully a grown ass woman who she had insulted publicly and disassociated herself from to drop assault charges committed by a terrible POS child who could have totally used a lesson in staying out of grown folks business. Or when she lied about how dabook (the OG book) got around Franklin Lakes. Or in the fact that she felt justified dragging someone through the mud because of their past. And I don’t like her now. She was the biggest Tre supporter and now all of a sudden the shits not cute anymore. 2 things about Teresa 1;) Like Beyonce, I dislike her but respect her hustle and 2.) This bitch has been this self-absorbed and unwilling to take responsibility for ANYTHING that happens in her life since day 1. It’s not like she suddenly became that self-involved. If I meet a guy who smokes even though I hate that shit I can’t get mad at the guy 3 years later cuz his dumb ass still smokes. Hypocrisy much?

    And she can really cut the godmother act. She doesn’t run shit and she needs to have about 3 seats with her underachieving children.

    Don’t get me started in Dina.

    @sarcastire
    Very astute observation. Tre refusing to amp up the drama on their little show was surely what had them all so cranky. Every one of them had a sour puss on their face and did their best to disparage her. Whoopi’s tactic seemed to be to “ice her out”. The View crew was simply unhappy that they didn’t get their way, but I agree with Tre that it wasn’t the right forum to work out her families differences. When Baba said something to the effect that she lived her life on camera….yes, she IS doing a reality show but that certainly doesn’t mean that she can’t maintain some privacy in her life.

    Ehh, I am not a Tre fan (I think she’s gone batshit) but this interview was some kind of werid set-up. Obviously these ladies don’t even watch the show. They kept bringing up her “fued” with her family…..as if that’s some sort of “Reality Show taboo”. The View’s just tryin’ to hold onto those all important family values!! (barf).
    You can screw someone on camera, get buck-ass naked in a hot tub, get arrested, cheat on your boyfriend / girlfriend, generally act a complete fool and that’s all good…..but GOD FORBID you fight with your family on a show. Who the eff cares? Another thing, EVERY woman on EVERY “Real Housewives” show has fought with each other in some way……why is Tre being singled out? I just don’t get it. This was an awful interview.

    Now I legitimately feel bad for her. . .maybe she just has a good editor/ghost writer but she takes some responsibility for a lot (not all) of her actions here. If only she’d admit that her husbands feelings about HER family are definitely a factor. Now I’m really wondering if there is a Gorga audition tape about taking her down. Shit is getting to real, these people need to make up already so Bravo can ditch Manzo/lauritas (who clearly don’t wanna be on this show anymore) and get some new blood so it can be Gorga/Giudice (minus Joe Giudice) against some trashy (-ier).

    I think the View ladies came off looking the worst. God, get some freakin interview skills already! Talking over each other so you can’t even hear the damn question and Barbara — why are you interviewing without doing ANY research on the person or the show you’re supposed to be talking about? Lazy! You should know better than that.
