jersey fight

The NY Post is claiming that Monday’s Real Housewives of New Jersey fight was the worst in the franchise’s history, and I believe it. Weave-gate doesn’t even come close to what happend on Monday’s episode. I mean they didn’t waste anytime–they started that show off with a bang, it was brilliant. The show made such an amazing statement of “We’re the Jersey franchise, don’t mess with us.”

The Post interviewed Melissa about the episode and she said:

“The fight didn’t start when [Teresa] came up and said, ‘Hello.’ Nobody in their right mind would start a fight over that,We were in complete shock that [Teresa] was playing it up a bit at the christening, pretending to be nice. Me and my husband are not putting on a show, so we tried to cut it off right there, and I guess she thought that we were going to put on smiles and play the game. But that’s not who we are. We’re real, and we don’t put on fake smiles. We were getting ridiculous, ridiculous calls from Teresa after we signed up for the show. You wouldn’t believe the things she was saying. They were completely uncalled for and not the kind of thing you’d ever expect a sister to say to her brother. I cried the whole time I watched [the premiere]. That’s my baby’s christening and that’s the memory I have.

That fight was insane, but Juicy Joe didn’t start the whole thing. Fights broke out, one after another like dominoes. His “charging” as Melissa calls it (which wasn’t even charging) may have triggered the violence, but it was two-sided. I know Melissa is putting this whole thing on Teresa, but all they’re all crazy. Teresa WAS indeed late to the christening, and who knows if she congratulated her brother at the church like she claimed, but regardless he was a d*ck to her. I can’t wait to see who will be the queen of the crazies this season. And speaking of crazy, I don’t know how much I love Melissa just yet. Teresa’s brother seems crazier than Teresa, doen’t he? And Melissa is on that same crazy train. However, I am liking Kathy…she seems like a straight shooter with her Lebanese-Mob husband.

All I can say is I am totally hooked. I know Beverly Hills was the apple of my eye once they hooked me, but how could I forget my true Jersey love?

Here’s the fight, in case you missed it (let me reinterate that this was all at a Christening!!!):

    I wanted to see blood and knocked out teeth. Maybe that old guido could have had heart attack #3. Maybe a child could have been trampled? C’mon Bobblehead, the plebs want blood sports and spectacle!

    The bouncers/security dudes on this show are hilarious. Maybe they’ll break it up, maybe they just stay out of the shot. I wonder if the producers have them on a chain, or if all these faux mobster families have their own gorilla guards?

    Also, did the diners at the Mansion know that RHONJ would be filming there that night? I imagine if you knew, it would be going to Hell’s Kitchen–you’re going to hear the screaming and the crying, and, if you get a meal out of it, that’s a bonus. If the guests had no idea, then the Mansion gives out a lot of refunds, and probably gets some pretty negative reviews on Yelp….

    NotWithoutMyTV:
    I read your Marcel recaps and they were funny as hell.
    I really want to know what your wife said about RHONJ.

    @June Summer: The way I watch TV and the way my wife watches is totally different. She watches ALL the Housewives shows, and pretty much everything else on Bravo and TLC. But she uses TV to turn her brain off. She sort of just sits there, letting the photons bounce off the back of her eyeballs and seep into her brain. I sit there sputtering with rage, asking her “Why doesn’t Teresa say that to MELISSA instead saying it TO THE CAMERA??” And she says “What?” because she really isn’t paying attention to the show. It must be bliss.

    I’m sorta worried because, when I married her, she was smarter than me. I thought it was sexy. Now, I think Bravo may have dragged her down to my level…

    @NotWithoutMyTV:
    My daughter watches RHOBH and RHONJ the same way your wife does and it drives me nuts. I don’t have tivo or a dvr so I can’t rewind the scenes I’m bitching about to get feedback from her. So, I usually just yell at the tv and she has no idea why. Maybe it’s payback since I have no clue who anyone is in the UFC and don’t plan to figure out why she watches those fights.

    Teresa did infact go up and say hello to them at the Church. Melissa had asked where Gia was at, and then got all pissed about it.

    Geez Louise!! I quit watching this show out of boredom with the whole “no one likes Danielle” storyline, but I might have to start watching again!! They have raised trash to a whole new level. This group is starting to make the Jersey Shore kids look classy.

    Teresa didn’t just say hello, she said congrats at the church. It is clearly caught on tape.

    I don’t like Melissa and Joe. It could change, but I am on Team Teresa for now. Maybe they wanted to “keep it real” but did they really think that anything good was going to come from that? They walked into that party with the attitudes flaring, not the other way around.

    @Jazzy, Melissa’s two harpy sisters live in the Jersey Shore area, as it so happens. Something tells me that they cut their fangs on that show.

    @NWMTV, the lack of having someone to bounce my outrage, mystification, and general shock is why I love the gasm so much. My husband won’t even stay in the room while these shows are on and I end up talking to the dog, who loves it when I talk to him. But the dog doesn’t give me much feedback, so I turn to the recaps to vent, share frustration etc. Makes a happy marriage.

    Yea..I’m a passive viewer of these Housewives shows, just like your wife, NWMTV. Actually, lately, I haven’t even sat through an entire episode. I’d be up doing the dishes, straightening up… but based on the recaps, it doesn’t seem like my multitasking makes me miss anything substantial regarding the plotlines. Shocker. These chicks have been running the same petty squabbles into the ground..we need fresh blood.

    That why I was so happy for the RHNJ premiere. And when I turned to Bravo, I sat my ass down! I’d missed the first half hour, but the last hour had my undivided attention! I knew it was going to be big and I wasn’t disappointed. Next week, however, I’ll start timing my chores for whenever Caroline and her brood are on screen. Yawn.
