RHONJ Recap: Dina Manzo Returns To Jersey!

September 9, 2012 | By | 440 Replies Continue Reading


Another Sunday, another episode in the books for the RHONJ! It was a very weird episode for lack of a better word (I’ll get into that later!) and the only thing it had going for it was the anticipated return of ex-housewife Dina Manzo!

The women are back in Jersey from the Napa trip that didn’t exactly end on a high note. Teresa and Caroline officially want nothing to do with each other, the Gorgas and Giudices are good, Jac and Teresa are okay, and Kathy is still working with Teresa. The episode begins with the Gorgas preparing their kids for their return to school. How cute are their children!? Joe is making pancakes and Melissa is the proud mommy taking pictures and video. It’s too adorable of a scene except they miss the school bus and Melissa has to rush back to get the car and drive Antonia herself. Over at Casa de Giudice, the girls are also going back to school. How fabulous it was to see Milania again! The girls take off for school, leopard print Jansports and all. So Jersey!

Melissa pow-wows with both Jacquelina and Caroline separately. With Jacqueline, they break banana bread together and discuss that Jacqueline is fine with Teresa as long as they maintain their boundaries. Melissa continues her rounds and goes to Caroline’s. Melissa tells Caroline that what she did was very high school and I can’t believe she talked back to her! Surprisingly, Melissa is still in one piece.

Teresa also visits Kathy, and Kathy brings up being left out of the toast. They get over it and I’m not sure what this scene was for. Kathy and Rich also discuss Victoria possibly leaving for college. They take a tour at a university in Maryland, and well that was about it. Zzzz.

It is the Fabellini launch party and only close friends and family are invited according to Teresa. Melissa tells the audience that Teresa doesn’t have a sitter for the evening so her and Joe will watch the kids. Melissa takes Milania and Gabriella for a girls spa day with Antonia.

OKAY. This is where things get strange. The Fabellini launch party was October 7, 2011. The Posche fashion show from the finale was on September 27, 2011. This means Teresa was already not speaking to her cast mates. Good one, producers! What is most embarrassing is Melissa lied in her talking head interview and said Teresa didn’t have a sitter. Also, who babysat Audriana and Gia!? Unless I missed it, there wasn’t a fabricated excuse for why the Wakiles missed the Fabellini party. So stupid. Hey Bravo, your viewers aren’t idiots. More annoying than this, on WWHL Andy asked Teresa why Jacqueline wasn’t at the Fabellini party. Surely he had to have known the truth about the editing? Teresa looked so confused and put on the spot and just said it was a party thrown quickly together. Hmmm. FYI: these producers are now fired and won’t be producing season 5.

Back in New Jersey, Caroline and the whole Manzo bunch are hosting an advice show for satellite radio. It doesn’t go so well, nobody is calling in and finally someone calls and asks some questions. At the Fabellini launch, Teresa looks great and is posing on the carpet and with Joe. Dina Manzo arrives, almost falls on the carpet and the step-and-repeat almost falls on her. She greets Teresa and they discuss Napa and what has been happening with Caroline. Dina tells her she will not let this pettiness get between their friendship. Teresa says blood is thicker than water and Dina says “not always”. Dina tweeted that she said this when they were discussing the Gorgas, but of course because of the editing they couldn’t show this because Teresa was supposed to be friendly with the Gorgas at this point!

Back at the Manzo radio show, someone finally calls and asks about Dina’s relationship with Caroline. She says the same thing as always – views change, but they’re still family blahblahblah. So yeah, very basic and drama-free of an episode. And very edited. Next week we will see part 1 of the finale, which I presume ends right when Melissa’s old boss shows up and leaves us hanging until the part 2 of the finale. How do you feel about the blatant lying and editing from these producers? Did you enjoy seeing Dina back on RHONJ?

    Is there any chance that the haters can change the game in the 3 final episodes? I mean, can Teresa become the evil one now?

    • michers says:

      No!! LOL!! I would be so disheartened if that happened.. I have invested way too much emotion! I have to say, sorry but I love Teresa!!

    • debi says:

      Teresa IS already the one being portrayed as the BAD one! Hell 2 seasons of ALL Teresa Bashing.. enough!!!
      LOVED Dina on show again!!! this show Sucks anymore!! Haterville Housewives!!!

  2. TracyVeste says:

    am in England it’s 2:39 here ….I should be in bed lol

    how long till tonight episode is on I can’t watch till the morning …..so keep me posted ppl thanks

    • michers says:

      Tracy it started 35 minutes ago, 1000 here!

      • TracyVeste says:

        I have just watched the episode and I have a few questions

        1. if the launch party is filmed after the pfs why is Mel babysitting ?

        2.if tre has no babysitter why did Mel only take two of the girls?

        3. why was it that when Mel went to pick up the girls there was no mention of the launch party? ….only when Mel was talking to the camera

        4. why would jac say she wasn’t invited and why would she want to be if she wasn’t talking to tre (we know this is true cause the
        launch party was after pfs)?

        bravo need to get a new editor

        teamtre

        TreHugger lol x

  3. RosieMac says:

    So, Dina just tweeted that she’s on for basically 2 minutes. Which I believe because Bravos’ editing is so sketchy.

  4. JoJoLaMa says:

    Are the Gorgas going to turn against The Don?

    • Candida says:

      Nope Caroline and Jac made sure that they turned Joey against his sister; remember Caro’s line she puts the lid on T’s family fires full of shit bitch

      • JoJoLaMa says:

        I think making it LOOK like they’re sort of supporting Teresa and sort of saying that Caroline went overboard is part of the calm-before-the-storm storyline that they ALL know is about to unfold. When the Evil Tree OUTS MEL AS A STRIPPER! it’ll be all the more dramatic. They’ll all feel so betrayed and hurt by Teresa! Oh, the humanity!!!

    • michers says:

      Yeah right Jo!! Whoever stays against Teresa they will join them. They are still trying to make sure they fit in with the bunch and get to keep camera time.

      • JoJoLaMa says:

        My view is more cynical than that, Michers. I think it’s all part of the plan/storyboard. We all know Teresa had nothing to do with the whole outing Mel as a stripper thing. So who did it? Don, Jac and Mel alone? Doubtful. It’s all producer-driven. I doubt they knew exactly where the producers wanted them to go or where it would go based on their set-ups, but they know they’re supposed to go along with whatever comes up – and they KNEW Teresa had nothing to do with it. But since it’s what the producers wanted and they want Teresa off the show anyway, they went along with the BS. One thing I do think is absolutely real about this particular reality show is their hatred for Teresa. The producers drive the storylines, but they’re happy to take the baton and engage in a little hate improv once they know where a particular filming session is going.

        • hoolie says:

          THANK YOU JOJO= I agree that I believe this is all producer driven as well….they just got all the 411 from chuckie n co. and said..hmmmm let’s stir the pot!

        • michers says:

          JoJo- call this strange, but based on previews I have seen, things I have heard and preview for next week, I am starting to wonder just how much Kim D was involved in the “set-up”! I also think she has some silly ties with Caro Manzo , as she tweeted her last night, something like ” Blood is thicker than water doll”- again not sure if thats a friend tweet, but did you see preview of shocked Teresa face and Kim D , not so shocked replies ” whoops” when the former Lookers boss says Mel danced!! OMG.. Kim D says she is friends with everyone but I find that hard to be true considering all said and done! Im sure Bravo orchestrated most of this and played this whole thing like a game!

          • Kelly says:

            I agree 100%. Based on what I’ve read via Rox’s reunion exclusive and the previews of the upcoming shows- it looks like Kim D put the whole thing together (with help from the producers).

          • hoolie says:

            I agree that Kim must have had her hand in on it…she is hungry for air time BUT, BUT I still believe this whole set up was producer inspired. They needed a willing participant to help them gather players and work behind the scenes. In fact this whole season has been a spin job by producers. Meho’s sudden ‘love’ for her sister in law- Kathy and the hot tub scene to rile things up.
            WOrking to steer Teresa and the storyline to the avenue they wanted….sick puppies

          • Samantha says:

            I don’t think so. Teresa didn’t appear in the least little bit vindicated on WWHL, and she wouldn’t have been able to hide something like that. She’s no actress. Instead she looked angry, vindictive and bitter.

            And the permanently glued on smile is becoming more and more ghastly and demented-looking. It doesn’t look like she’s smiling anymore so much as baring her teeth at people.

          • Samantha says:

            Not only that, but at the reunion (one day after the fashion show), Teresa looked so G-U-I-L-T-Y that you just KNEW she had done something pretty horrible.

          • reddvette says:

            Michers, I think it was the producers along with KimD, KimD seems to happy and this is standard Bravo move. To see where the chips will fall and who is really friends with who.

        • disgusted says:

          great points JoJo … Melissa herself ????? didn’t she just mention on the camping trip something about a sex tape being a quick way to jumpstart a careear ??? referring to Teresa … The only problem with that is that Teresa”s career has already started … Its melissa that needs a jump.

          • michers says:

            reddvette, agree ! disgusted- yes! She said that on tape and she has Bravo amnesia like the rest of the cast. yes, T was already successful hence the Gorga’s needing their jumpstart, lol

          • pinkie says:

            loved Perez Hilton’s comment that Melissa was too old for the costumes on her new video. ha ha .. by the end of the evening,,, I knew then he would probably not be invited back anytime soon. Candy Cohen weasled an apology for Sarah Jessica Parker from him.. I really think tht is the only reason Candy invited him. Teresa was good have to admit I LOVEd the jab at the lapband.

          • reddvette says:

            Disgusted, I can see the Gorgas releasing a sex tape. You heard it here first. When the tape comes out it will either be Teresas fault or the fired producers.

    • Isabella Patricia says:

      Andy’s WWHL question was whose side are you on? He better not fix the polls by siding with disgusting CaroClown! I’m gonna text TERESA, and it better not say that it didn’t go through. Teresa looks beautiful on WWHL, and Perez Hilton lost o much weight! OH EM GEE! He looks like a hairy monkey, but not in a bad way… :)

      • Samantha says:

        62% Caroline!!! Isn’t that some kind of record? GO CAROLINE!!! :)

        • Andrea from Alabama says:

          That’s right. Go Caroline go. Now take your dog face ass with her to that place that evil, lonely, bitter bitches go. Hey I think you’ll see Lauren and your other Marco sister there. #HookerTrashBoxSaMANtha.

        • The Mooch says:

          Kind of funny though…Every time there is a poll and Teresa is involved…. It’s a coinky dink that my vote isn’t counted, or I cant get through…… Any other time I text for a WWHL poll I have no issues… Just when Teresa’s involved… HMMM…… That’s why I’m going to call bull shit on the poll.. Thanks for playing :)

      • Margie says:

        I was afraid that the poll would go in Caroline’s favor. I’ve read a lot of people on here saying that they no longer watch WWHL. Pretty sure the poll last night reflects that.

  5. RosieMac says:

    WOW! Did the Gorgas just say that about Caroline? OMG! They better watch their backs!
    The Gorgas and Giudices getting their kids off to school….so adorable.Need sooo much more of this!

  6. hannavas says:

    Three minutes into the new episode and I have to point something out. When Gia made the remark about Melissa controlling Joe, wasn’t a big deal made about how they should not be discussing those things in front of the kids because they pick it up? Yet here are Melissa and Joe discussing the last day of the trip in front of their kids.

    • michers says:

      Yes, they always have even in their car on way to the shore they did, right after they accused T of doing it

    • Samantha says:

      A big deal was made out of the fact that Teresa COACHED Gia to say that about her aunt, just as she coaches her to say many other things on film that aren’t true.

      • darling8705 says:

        No one knows if that’s true and for you to say that is ignorant. You’re not in the house if it “occurred”…at 11 you know when things aren’t right especially when it comes to family politics. I guess if anyone has an embarrasingly desperate routine it’s you…and that’s the truth :)

        • Samantha says:

          She was prompted to say that by Teresa. Neither Gia nor Teresa can act worth a damn — what they were doing was laughably obvious.

          • Cara says:

            Samantha, I don’t recall anyone saying that Gia was prompted or coached to say that Melissa controls Joey (well, maybe you did). What I remember was that the discussion was about Gia possibly just repeating an adult conversation that she should not have heard, that’s all. Melissa herself is very quick to point out that Teresa’s children are exposed to things that they shouldn’t be seeing/hearing (she was especially keen on doing this during season 3). The point that is being made here is that both the Giudice AND the Gorga children are exposed to such things, meaning Melissa is equally as guilty of the things that she has openly criticized Teresa for. The cameras don’t lie, they have caught her doing the very same thing.
            Granted, children cannot always be shielded from everything. But Melissa should memorize the “let those who are without sin cast the first stone” adage and repeat it to herself daily.

          • Lisa says:

            listen troll go away. I guess your back from A/C

      • rukidding? says:

        yeah and melissa’s so called concerned sister in law/aunt routine is always convincing. lol

        • michers says:

          Right? It took her how long to try and spend time with her nieces, LOL? Live five minutes from each other? And trying to make it work? Ok…

    • Hailiesmama says:

      I thought of that as well.

    • zombieunicorn says:

      That is because Melissa and Joey do not leave their children unattended. Teresa leaves her children unattended and then tells them what to say.

      • michers says:

        Really zombie because its always Melissa who has to state publicly thank you to her sisters for CONSTANTLY having her children!

      • RHOAmbler says:

        So they take their kids on all those trips and nightclub outings they are always tweeting about? If so, that would be crappier parenting than the sitters they have on speed dial.

      • rukidding? says:

        how can teresa leave her kids “unattended” and tell them what to say at the same time? don’t they have to be present in order for her to do that? lol zombie is drinking jac’s boxed wine again and making no sense.

      • reddvette says:

        You can not tell unattended children what to say. If they are unattended who is talking to them?

  7. reddvette says:

    The Gorgas just said the Queen was wrong.

  8. JoJoLaMa says:

    Audriana is such a little baby doll!

    • cammierari says:

      she looks just like Teresa’s mom!

    • Annie says:

      she’s so cute!

    • hoolie says:

      Yes, But I LOVE ME SOME MILANIA! That kid is crazy!!!!!!! Pistol and a half!!!

      • michers says:

        I want to see her in action at school!!! She probably does go to lounge for coffee and call principal a troll, ( Andy actually made a funny about that tonight)

        • hoolie says:

          I saw that… for a second I was waiting for him to call her a brat again though!

          • michers says:

            hoolie, I was waiting, but he did good with that at least!

          • Andrea from Alabama says:

            Hoolie Andy might call the shots at Bravo, but trust me when i say His balls ain’t brass. He knows that Teresa doesn’t play the radio when it comes to those beauties she calls children. Hands down her four girls are just about the prettiest of all the housewives. I think that Phadrea’s son is a heartbreaker and so is Cynthia’s daughter Noel. I mean they all have pretty kids (cause it’s kind of hard to have an ugly kid), but those are the stand outs.

          • hoolie says:

            I know Bama- it’s the eyes and eye lashes on those girls…. and Audriana has the purdiest curls. Dollies all of them!

    • Cara says:

      Audriana is GORGEOUS! Those eyes and those eyelashes! Madonna Mia, what a beautiful baby!

    • zombieunicorn says:

      Oh yes, she’s so cute… cute enough to leave UNATTENDED.

      • michers says:

        Yes zombie along with Mel’s kids being unattended for bars, six flags, etc.. You act like Teresa is the only one who has to get people to watch her kids! Only difference here is that 80-90% of the time, one parent is with T’s kids- JoeGo and MeHo are always together pimping each other out at not to be bragged about spots for appearances! T leaves for legit purposes!

        • rukidding? says:

          michers i see what zombie is trying to do. she thinks she’s kathy. teresa didn’t like that kathy was implying she left her daughter “unattended”. that is the same word kathy has used and now zombie is doing it to provoke teresa fans. that is her own way of getting even. trying so hard to be like kathy and not doing a very good job of it. i wonder if zombie saw melissa’s daughter was “unattended” when melissa was posing and moaning for the pervy photographer?!!

  9. JoJoLaMa says:

    I love Teresa with less makeup.

  10. reddvette says:

    that Joe Gudice is something else.

    • michers says:

      OMG, he is a hot friggin mess, but at least he gives good tv and its funny

      • Hailiesmama says:

        When he was discussing Kathy, the stress ball, eyes popping, I was hysterical laughing! I could picture it in my head.

        • Cara says:

          Teresa: She has pretty eyes.
          Juicy: She has frog’s eyes.

          I can’t. He’s not nice but damn he’s funny and he just don’t give two craps what he says LOL!!

          • Andrea from Alabama says:

            Cara, like Teresa I just can’t leave Joe Giudice. He is too much, but damn if it ain’t true (usually). Even through all her bullshit notice that Caroline always seems o have a soft spot for a Joe, and when he’s a around it’s like Joe Gorga and Ritchie are mute you can hear a mouse piss on cotton they’re so quiet. I love it. I live for Joe Guidice’s presence on my tv scene. Sorry, but it’s true.

        • pinkie says:

          OMG,,, i forgot he called her a stress doll. When he said that i howled so loud my hubby jumped off the couch

      • Margie says:

        He is a HOOT!! Bet his talking heads would be hilarious – as well as spot on. I like that he doesn’t do them tho. Too bad, Rich, Chris, Al, and Joe Gorga do. I’m ready for the good ole’ days when it’s only the wives on the one-on-one interviews. No husbands and no kids.

        • pinkie says:

          now Chris Laurita can also jump on the twitter train. with his Jac controlled twitter acct.

          • michers says:

            I know!!! I saw that and figured Jacaholic was running it, I mean Chris is so busy “working” right? Great! Now she has 2 accounts to keep her ranting.. for the love of God..

  11. Lysel says:

    I just want these episodes OVER. Knowing how it ends makes it more painful than anything. We know they all turn on Teresa so Melissa acting like she’s sticking up for her with Caroline (coming up) is pointless to watch. They are so busy worrying about how Caroline is treating Teresa when they helped it happen and treat her just as badly themselves. So done with these people.

    • Marty says:

      I know right!

      • Hailiesmama says:

        Not only that, it was sad to watch the little girls… also… knowing that Melissa wasn’t taking the girls for launch party, Jacko wasn’t invited or Kathy or any of them b/c this launch party took place after the posche show, so Teresa wasn’t talking to any of them. so y r they lying about all that b.s.

    • Samantha says:

      I didn’t see that as “acting” at all. And that took major courage, as far as I’m concerned.

      Like it or not, Caroline is regarded as the “matriarch” of the show and has been with the show since day one. Melissa is relatively new, and I assume :) wants to stay on the show.

      She could easily have made trouble for herself, from her POV anyway, by criticizing Caroline and defending Teresa.

      Girl’s got balls. :)

      • jen says:

        That was the most scripted shit ever!!!! PLEASE!!! If Melissa was serious and said to Caroline in her own kitchen this isn’t High school get over it already Caroline would have had Melissa by her f’n nostrils and threw her sorry ass out the door faster then Lauren would have been able to run down the stairs and do it herself!!! This is all their little story line we will make as if “we” her family are trying then the fashion show happens,which BTW I still believe Melissa planted that seed,then hopefully in their little minds they think the viewers will see Teresa as an evil Bitch. FAKE FAKE AND MORE FAKE BS!!!!

      • CEC says:

        Are you Caroline? Seriously? You are the only person on here who supports her. And you say stuff she would say or her children?

      • Say What?? says:

        Too bad it was edited to make her look like she had balls. She was actually kissing carolines ass and the clips that were heard of her talking down to caroline were actually said about Teresa. Frankenbiting editing… Keep patting yourself on the back. ;)

        • Samantha says:

          Oh! OH! Are we pretending I’m Melissa today? The last I heard I was Caroline (and this was just two hours ago!) And before that I was Lysa, and before that I was Joey, and before that…

          Have you ever tried to explore this need Tree’s Trolls have to assign the faces of semi-famous people to everyone who disagrees with you? Because I can’t make head or tail of it, except that it seems a bit paranoid.

          • zombieunicorn says:

            It’s okay Samantha. Once I was accused of being Audriana but unfortunately the accusers did not think that one through– that means I would have to be typing from the floor of the bathroom stall where I was left unattended at a Christening.

          • CEC says:

            Why do you read this website if it is all Teresa fans? It doesn’t make sense? That is why people question who you are.

          • Samantha says:

            @zombieunicorn LMAO!

          • michers says:

            Oh right zombie so that proves again that Kathy is a LIAR! Thanks for clearing that up!

  12. Kelly says:

    Lol I thought that was a meatloaf surrounded by milano cookies . :/

  13. renee says:

    In this episode did anyone notice that Melissa started to squeal a bit when getting Antonia off to school? She started to do and sound like Teresa! Teresa has always done that and now after a couple seasons melissa is now starting to do it.

    • Nicole says:

      She’s been doing that since she got on the show. Everything Tre does, Melissa does too. It’s endearing when Teresa does it, but it’s annoying when Melissa does it. LOL

      • Andrea from Alabama says:

        #thetruth.com. That Melissa couldn’t come up with an original idea if she was paid to. Probably why she isn’t the lucrative housewife that she though she would’ve become.

  14. RosieMac says:

    I think I’m on a time delay…the Walkiles…do not care…

  15. renee says:

    I laughed so hard when Joe Giudice said kathy is like one of those stress dolls you squeeze and the eyes pop out LMAO that was so funny.

    • Isabella Patricia says:

      Hahaha! I was giggling, too! My bf laughed pretty hard because he’s always making fun of Kathy’s huge eyes.

      • Isabella Patricia says:

        Oh, yeah. One more thing… She reminds me of Nightmare Before Christmas character Sally, Jack Skellington’s corpse woman…

  16. JoJoLaMa says:

    Oh give me a frickin’ break! This is SO obviously a set-up! Mel, JoeGo, Jac and Kathy are all making such an effort to understand Teresa that way it’ll be all the more dramatic when the evil Tree outs Mel as a former stripper! Then the Don can deliver her famous and now TIRED line ” I told you so!” ( remember when she said that to Dina and Jac about Danielle?) The producers really need to step up their game. They ought to run these storylines by some real ppl first.

  17. JoJoLaMa says:

    Wow, Chuck was really SO desperate to make a go of her advice-giving career.

    • Maru the Cat fka Sharon Lea says:

      Totally – I just did my nails during those scenes, not worth watching at all.

    • Deb says:

      JoJo, I thought that was so funny the phone lines were suppose to light up and no one called! Who would call a clown for advice???? Even Big Al was yawning!!!

      • CaTfAce says:

        I was so embarrassed watching that part, I had to keep reminding myself it was Caroline so I shouldn’t be embarrassed but it was just THAT bad. I’m pretty sure they had a Bravo person or something call in just to get a phone call. And wasn’t it funny how it was about Caroline and Dina 2 seconds before they put Dina showing up to Teresa’s event. It’s like they aren’t even trying to make it seem like everythings not a set-up anymore.

  18. JoJoLaMa says:

    Did Mel just talk back to The Don?

    • cammierari says:

      haha yep! Was waiting for Chuckie’s head to spin

      • reddvette says:

        Chuckies head didn’t spin but the look on her face. Melissa was already getting on her nerves. The looks she was giving are not those of a friend.

    • Andrea from Alabama says:

      I know, that bitch is out the door after this season. Melissa is so stupid. Didnt she see how the Don used Teresa’s muscle for Danielle and Kim G. and then threw her away like yesterday’s Brownstone trash? Teresa landed on her feet, Melissa, I doubt very seriously Melissa would be able to do so.

    • michers says:

      Yes! MeHo got some balls now, lol…

      • michers says:

        I forgot- I never believed Mel really ever liked Caroline. Said long ago it was just to do whatever they had to to humiliate Teresa. They all used each other!!

        • reddvette says:

          You are so right! They were both using each other to try and get rid of Teresa.

        • Deb says:

          Exactly Michers, you know the clown and her daughter don’t like woman who look good in bathing suits!! They were proably talking about Melissa when they weren’t filming in Napa. They are just using The Gorga’s and bug-eyes to hurt Teresa!!

          • michers says:

            Im sure! Like when everyone was learning to surf! Jac was even insecure, it was awkward watching them, watch everyone surf!

  19. JoJoLaMa says:

    “I’m not going to allow myself to be beat up.” Um, who is beating Chuck up exactly?

  20. renee says:

    Kathy is such a kiss ass and now she is trying to do damage control! I love Teresa I just don’t understand why she doesn’t put kathy in her place. It was very clear what kathy did and teresa called her on it that night on the trip. Caroline is a piece of work and all of them need to stop talking about and bringing up Teresa. I am so sick of hearing their mundane conversations about teresa this and teresa that. Don’t they realize its beyond annoying to us viewers. I like drama and all but this is drug out drama. Enough is enough!

    • Andrea from Alabama says:

      Renee, I gotta agree. The thing about Teresa that makes my skin crawl is her willful blindness to these bitches and their games. Kathy is worse than Caroline (in my opinion), because she has known Teresa longer than anyone else there, and she’s doing this; and what for? It’s not like Kathy is in any danger of become a breakout star, hell she’s not even a fan favorite. Teresa should cast these bitches to the side.

      • renee says:

        Exactly Andrea I soooo agree with you. Kathy is a sneaky snarky bitch! Sorry but I just never liked how she kissed ass and still does rather than do the right thing. She claims to love her cousin and to want things right but yet does everything to instigate and antagonize the situation. She wouldn’t know loyalty if it bit her in the ass. Those are the worst kind of people who back stab their own family and side against them. She claims to be on Teresa’s side but really isn’t. I would love to slap those eyes right out of her head sometimes. Is it me or do you also feel like you want to reach through the t.v. and smack her when she tries to cover her tracks right after she starts shit?

        • Andrea from alabama says:

          And that’s how it is. Basically, Kathy has sold her soul. I hate it when she pretends that she wants a relationship with Teresa and then goes and kiss the Manzo ass and throws Teresa under the bus. I can’t understand why she can never express her true feels to Teresa but expect Teresa to purge her soul to her. I don’t get Kathy. They could replace this bore with shots of paint drying. It’s basically the same thing. No value added.

          • T says:

            I hate how she talks kinda nice to T’s face then in her whispery talking-head she’s all mafia bad-ass! Can’t stand her!!

          • Maru the Cat fka Sharon Lea says:

            When Kathy said she needed to be able to say things to Teresa and ‘stand up to her’ it just felt like Kathy said that because she wants to have some on camera fights with her the future – like she was ‘planting the seeds.’ It made no sense, like what would she need to stand up to her about?

          • reddvette says:

            Kathy is so two faced. She wants to able to say what she wants. Who is stopping her. Kathy says what she wants behiind Teresas back. If kathy is so about respect she would not say negative st*t behind Teresas back, she would not grin in Teresas face while talking about her. Kathy would have came on the show trashing a family member. Say what you want to Teresas face and not behind her back and tell your asshole to shut up.

          • Bagiggles says:

            “They could replace this bore with shots of paint drying. It’s basically the same thing. No value added.” …thanks for the laugh Andrea!

          • Cara says:

            You know, I really don’t even understand Kathy. I’m trying to think about this from the perspective of my own relationship with my female cousins. I have five female cousins – a few that I’m close with and one that is closer to me than my own sister is – and I’ve had my rough points with several of them, too. Regardless, I’d NEVER say anything behind any of their backs that I would not say directly to them. And here is the key: I would not say anything intentionally HURTFUL to them, behind their back OR to their face. They are my family and I love them no matter how close or not we are, I will support them always and I’d never say a bad word about any of them to someone else, let alone a national viewing audience. That is the HEIGHT of disloyalty.
            So this is what I mean when I say I don’t understand Kathy. She says she’s old school and all about respect? Does she HEAR the way she talks about her own blood ON NATIONAL TV? Would she tolerate Victoria and Joseph speaking about each other the way she talks about Teresa behind her back? What kind of example is she setting for her children about the way family should treat each other? How about the fact that she thinks it is funny the way her husband also speaks about Teresa (in front of their children, no less) and she excuses it by saying “you have to understand Richie’s sense of humor”. I’d be both mortified and furious to hear someone speaking about my family that way!
            Kathy should hang her head in shame. Teresa is her family, for god’s sake. And what has Teresa told us about Kathy? Only that she is sneaky. She was right.

          • Andrea from Alabama says:

            Cara, you just spoke a mouth full there. Amen sister. And Kathy’s opening line if total bullshit. She’s about everything except for respect. She doesn’t respect her cousins, her aunt and uncle, or herself for that matter (because she was so easily turned). Kathy and Ritchie Waklie are both spindles dicks who will gladly do whatever is needed for “friends.” She doesn’t look it, but I’ll be damn if she isn’t middle school acting. The old saying “if you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything,” couldn’t be more truer for any other housewife.

        • disgusted says:

          not to mention her disuting husband .. He really makes my skin crawl …these two were made for each other… When they kiss i throw up in my mouth a little… Yuck

  21. reddvette says:

    Caroline was pulled into the drama? She is not it but she can not stop talking about Teresa. Caroline when you are over something you let it go and stop talking abou it. Get it?

    • michers says:

      reddvette- how hilarious right? She started it, she can never carry out an exact mature rational reason why, never makes sense, involved herself everywhere with everyone UNWARRANTED- lol!! Then sits back enjoying the chaos- she thrives on it because without it, she is unemployed!

    • renee says:

      redvette you are also sooo right. Caroline did this with Danielle. I didn’t like danielle but now i’m begining to believe I was to hard on her because of how the manzos and lauritas made her look even worse. I see now that she was right about that family in a lot of ways. Caroline started the bullshit on the last episode and then cries because no one jumped in other then her shitty daughter to defend her position which she never had one to begin with. None of them can let it go because without mentioning Teresa they are boring.

      • JoJoLaMa says:

        Yep. Caroline did the EXACT same thing with Danielle. She warned everyone about the Evil Danielle, but no one would listen to her sage advice!! Then, eventually, they all ( Dina, Jac ) learned the error of their ways and realized that The Wise Don was right all along! It’s a very tired narrative. They showed a few episodes of season 2 today that highlighted this EXACT storyline. Caroline really needs to get some new material.

        • reddvette says:

          Bravo is not doing Chucckie any favors showing that either. If anyone still believed that Chuckie is a saint, they were working to change that.

          • Deb says:

            I never liked Caroclown,why did she care so much about Danielle’s life?Proably because she doesn’t have a life. And I DON’T BELIEVE THE POLL ON WWHL!!!!

  22. renee says:

    I know it won’t last but I love it that in this episode Melissa is helping Teresa out and is treating her like a sister. I wish she would continue working on being a sister to teresa and joe rather than an enemy. She would build a lot of fans if she did what was right. She doesn’t realize that people loved seeing everyone get along in the first few seasons. I would much rather see her and melissa working together rather than kathy and T. At least with melissa you know where her dislike for teresa comes from with kathy she and richie are snakes and sneaky in how they do things.

    • Kelly says:

      YUUUUUUP!

    • cammierari says:

      I agree-it’s a nice change. I might even be able to LIKE Melissa if she stayed like this. shocking!

      • JoJoLaMa says:

        It WOULD be a nice change if it were at all sincere, but I don’t believe for one second it is. It’s all about looking like she’s working on the relationship before the evil Tree turns on her!

      • renee says:

        cammierari you to are right. I might even begin to love her if she would continue this road of mending her relationship with her sister in law. I would love her even more if she encouraged Teresa’s brother to being involved with Teresa more. I think both families would be fun to watch if they would just get passed the bullshit and bond. The ratings would go up with those two because like it or not Melissa can be funny and cool if she would work with Teresa. I think Melissa whether she has copied teresa or not has her own quirky ways that would be very likeable. She can be friends with the manzo’s and lauritas but she needs to not engage with them when they talk about her family. Does anyone agree?

      • U can't hide stupid says:

        I thought the same thing… Melissa was actually likable this evening.

        • Divorce says:

          I agree.

        • Cara says:

          Agree. I wish I didn’t feel the need to be cynical toward her knowing what we know because I have to think there is an agenda there. But Melissa was lovely in this episode and I enjoyed her scenes, especially with the girls spending time with each other. More scenes like those and the show would be so much more watchable.

          • disgusted says:

            first time i enjoyed melissa but i can’t forget her blog last week … it was treacherous

          • michers says:

            disgusted, I think all of her blogs were treacherous, so thats why I gave up waiting for a chance to see an authentic/sincere side of her. Her nasty true self always comes back. Can take the girl out of Lookers, but not Lookers out of the girl I guess! Now, it would be a great change for this show, if Mel could be the way she was this week in respect to Teresa and her daughters! More of that, less of The ManZon’s and the drunk, and the stress doll, would be a treat!

    • reddvette says:

      So true if Melissa was like this all the time I, and I am sure others would like her.

      • Marty says:

        I have alway thought that not only did Melissa bring herself down but her trany sisters added darkness to her essence.

        • T says:

          That’s not the real Mel…I don’t think she’s a good person at all. She’s so fake! Mel & Joe started this entire mess & still continue to make things worse with their family.

          • Dox3jm says:

            T, I agree with your statement 100% Mel is as fake as they come and will do anything to take Teresa’s place! Watch out because if she’s on S5 she’ll change if that’s what she’ll think works but still try to take Teresa out! Once a whore always a whore!

        • pinkie says:

          Good post, Marty.

    • mzjulesaz says:

      Amen! I loved that, it was so sweet and god I hope real.

  23. reddvette says:

    Lord, please remove the Wakiles. What did they think dorm room looked like? They watch tv so they have seen a dorm room. Besides they could get her an apartment. Victorias Bravo salary is enough pay for one.

  24. hannavas says:

    well at least Caroline got THAT right…nothing great going on there!

  25. Begorrah says:

    Caroline I have no clue why ANYONE wants to hear what you have to say either. No wonder her radio show was cancelled. I wasn’t the only one didn’t want to hear her.

    • JoJoLaMa says:

      She’s super awful at feigning humility. ” I don’t know why anyone would want to take advice from little ol me!” – This woman gives everyone unsolicited advice constantly and is absolutely DESPERATE to become an advice guru. She’s trying to make it seem like all these stations, producers and business people were chasing HER, when the exact opposite was true – SHE pursued this “career” like a junkyard dog going after a big, stinky bone.

      • reddvette says:

        Andy is trying so hard to get Caroline a money making venture. It is to bad her ass is so gross. And yes, Caroline you did stink.

      • hoolie says:

        She did a crappy job at containing her smirk with the old ‘lil ole me’ routine

      • MsMaria says:

        You are right JoJo. Why would anyone take advice from a grown ass woman who bullies others? What are we supposed to learn from her? She acts all “love and light” yet bashes anyone she doesnt like! Its one thing to not like someone but she takes it to a whole different level, laughs at someone potentially divorcing and writing bookd about it..i wouldnt even do that to my worse enemy! Deepak chopra & Maya Angelou she is not, and never will be..how do we grow and become a better person when we cannot forgive others? Caro needs to solve her own problems abd demons before trying to help others!

      • Cara says:

        JoJoLaMa – you said it! Caroline not only failed at feigning humility but also at feigning humiliation. Her “little ole me” routine was ridiculous and her logic behind it was quickly disproved by what actually happened in the studio.
        She claimed that she was shocked that anyone would want to hear advice from “just Caroline” but yet there she was! On Sirius XM! Well, if people were truly scrambling for her dole out advice, the phone lines would have been lit up as soon as she gave out the call-in number. But…*CRICKETS*. And in her TH she said “I was almost embarrassed.” Oh, you were ALMOST embarrassed? Jeez Caroline! What you meant to say was that you were f*cking tail between your legs, sharting your pants, mortified because you blew yourself up with all your false humility and then fell flat on your face. Again.

        For what it’s worth, I’ve actually co-produced radio shows before and you don’t just go into it blindly and unprepared like that. You do not just wait for calls to come in and while you’re waiting, sit there with a dumb grin on your face, giggle nervously, throw questions about your kids to your husband who doesn’t want to be there and who immediately throws it right back to you, and then decide that you want to take a break and “wet my whistle”. No. You write up a show outline of topics you want to cover during your time slot. You research your topics. You write down talking points that you can elaborate on to fill dead air time. You make a list of references (like books or websites) to give out to your audience so they can further educate themselves on the show topics and also so they don’t think you are a fraud or a know-it-all. And then magically, while you are talking (because, it IS a talk show) the calls will come in. But you have to TALK, Caroline! You can’t just expect that you can tell people “Hey! Call me! Please!” and people will start calling and that will sustain your entire show (although she is used to telling people what to do and getting her own way).
        Maybe if Caroline wasn’t such a pompous assbag and did a little homework on how to structure a radio show for an hour, she’d have known this and she would not have been “almost embarrassed”.

        • jerseygirl says:

          Cara, I hadn’t thought about that aspect of putting on a radio show. You are so on point about how unprepared she was during the clips we saw on the show. And if that is any indication of how she handles her other business ventures, it shouldn’t suprise anyone that they have all failed.

          Wonder if she took any time to do research for her book or if she spends 30-40 pages talking out of her ass.

        • CaTfAce says:

          Oh but didn’t you see her papers hanging on the wall with topics when Melissa stopped by to give her fake speech? Lol. She tried to act like she was preparing herself, but it looked like those things you make in grade school to pick topics for a research paper. And why did she need her who family to be there if she has so much wisdom. Guess what the only calls they showed were asking about Dina and Teresa. Nobody cares about you CAROLINE MANZO YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST!

      • lawlaw says:

        Caroline is a dumbass she can’t see that the only thing holding her back is her own kids. You are the house wife why are they apart of everything? She keeps bringing up branding them they are nobody’s they can’t have a brand. She plays this big bad bitch but she’s scared to stand alone she’s always with one of her attentionwhore kids. She needs to say hi I’m Caroline manzo and I present this with just her name not with family not with anybody brand yourself not your kids.

        • Cara says:

          That’s a good point. She projects the image of self-professed matriarch and infantilizes her adult children to fulfill her own prescribed role of all-importance. But the truth is that rather than them needing her to such an extent, she needs them even more. Without her children being so dependent on her (which she forces on them), her role as caregiver does not exist. Caroline refuses to allow herself or her children to make the transition into their adulthood because to do so will make her unimportant (in her mind). And that is very sad for her. But it is also very unfair and emotionally immature and irresponsible as a parent to do such a thing.

        • Cara says:

          My long-winded point was that her fear of letting her kids leave the nursery is what prevents her from standing on her own. Instead she hides behind the facade of them being a united front but it’s just a cover for her own insecurity of them growing up and not needing her anymore.

  26. Begorrah says:

    Joe Giudice mother looks a little bit of Meryl Streep.

  27. Lysel says:

    and there we have it. Caroline says it herself. She has NO idea why people would want to listen to her…she’s just Caroline. Now of course she doesn’t really believe it, she wants to be relevant but she of course can’t let anyone believe that she actually wants it, so when it doesn’t happen (and it didn’t) she doesn’t have to save face because she SAID (I don’t care). Whatever Caroline..you care and you want to be on everyone’s mind, but not the way you are right now…everyone (mostly everyone to be fair) thinks you’re a donkey’s behind!

  28. Begorrah says:

    Dina looks gorgeous. Looks like Red didn’t inherit the same genes, inside or out.

    • Seven says:

      Caroline is the ugliest of the sisters, they all look more like Dina. Which makes it all the more awful that she deliberately tries to make her daughter insecure by pretending she was always thin and gorgeous and Lauren can’t measure up to her.

    • darling8705 says:

      Dina said something that I’ve been kinda tweeting all season about Caroline. All that anger and negative energy (or whatever you want to call it) has made HER INTO AN UGLY.HUMAN BEING. Literally. If you go through the seasons her physical appearance has changed a lot compared to this season. To me her face just looks haggard (I just became a Teresa supporter the past two seasons and I used to like the manzos). It looks like she has jowls, her skin is dull and unless talking about her hatred of Teresa or what I think is a weird teetering on obsessive relationship with her boys her eyes are dead…why Teresa isn’t carrying a bottle of holy water, a bible and a rosary with her at all times (and sage lol to cleanse herself after every encounter with the manzo clan) is trully beyond me

      • Cara says:

        Dina’s words rang so true last night when she said that holding onto anger makes you ugly. And the thing is, she wasn’t even talking about her sister; she was responding to Teresa’s comment that the stress is giving her wrinkles. Dina is not vindictive, she is peaceful and enlightened. If a person is consumed by negative feelings and obsesses over anger, bitterness, jealousy and hatred it will manifest in their appearance. Conversely, if one knows peace and love, can enjoy their own success as well as the success of others without feeling envy, shows kindness and forgiveness, and has balance in their life, it will radiate from within and also affect their outward appearance.
        It is very easy to spot positive vs negative people. Dina and Teresa GLOW, for god’s sake. Drew Barrymore is a good example of a positive, peaceful person, too.
        Then look at Caroline. She emits the energy of an evil Disney queen. Serpents and green fog and things that smell bad.

  29. renee says:

    OMG I am laughing so hard caroline has no callers. No one wants to ask this lady for advice on raising a family. She has two kids who dropped out of college and one who couldn’t follow through on the first business she started.

  30. reddvette says:

    How funny is that Al is bored and yawning and no one is calling Caroline. Caroline in true fashion blamed Al and the kids.

  31. michers says:

    HAHA !! See Carloline, NO one wants you to ” tell them sumthin”… LOVED that.. I think I just saw karma in action, yes?

  32. JoJoLaMa says:

    No callers! Hmmmmm…wonder why??? BECAUSE NO ONE WANTS YOUR RIDICULOUS ADVICE!

  33. Begorrah says:

    Jacqueline why do you care if Dina and Teresa are close? I thought you didn’t want to be friends with Teresa anymore? I guess you are jealous of that too.

    • reddvette says:

      Notice Jacq said that Dina and Teresa have gotten closer since the Tersa and Caroline fell out.

    • Cara says:

      It was such a juvenile remark when Jacqueline said it didn’t make sense that Teresa invited Dina to the Fabellini party when Teresa was fighting with Caroline, had just made amends with Jac and Dina/Caro were not speaking. It implied that Teresa is expected to freeze people out the way Caroline does (and as Jacqueline obeys). Teresa and Dina have been friends for almost 20 years. Teresa had every right to invite Dina and Dina had every right to attend.
      I have said for years that Jacqueline exists in a suspended state of adolescence, as if her mind stopped maturing at age 16-ish, the way her logic and behavior indicates. That statement is a perfect example of why I believe this. Dina and Teresa have NO problems with each other. There is no reason to question why Dina went to that party or why Teresa invited her. Only a child-like mind would find it questionable. Jealousy is a very juvenile emotion and that is precisely what Jacqueline was demonstrating when she gave that TH interview. The subtext of her statement was “Why was Dina invited when I wasn’t?” but she worded it as “It didn’t make sense.” Well, Jac, it makes sense to people who are capable of celebrating the successes of their friends without being envious of them. It makes sense to people who are capable of staying out of other peoples’ family feuds. It just doesn’t make sense to YOU because you don’t understand these concepts.

  34. renee says:

    Suprise suprise on her first caller she is talking about Teresa again.

  35. JoJoLaMa says:

    I swear, that one ” caller ” is a BRAVO PRODUCER. One, because NO ONE else was calling and two, because her question was too convenient.

  36. RosieMac says:

    the Fabellini party…Thoughts…WHY the F would Jaq be invited??? Was this filmed before or after the camping crap?
    Joe Giu and his brother Pete look A LOT ALIKE!
    Was that a Liza Minelle look alike dancing???

    • cammierari says:

      Dina is saying on twitter that this party was AFTER the fashion show and that none of the ladies were speaking to Teresa, and that’s why they weren’t there. I have no idea why they are putting it before the fashion show in the episodes…it’s weird

      • RosieMac says:

        So…after the camping trip which was after the fashion show….Bravo editing at its’ finest!

      • Andrea from Alabama says:

        They’re EDITING it to look like after the trip Melissa was trying to move forward with Teresa and then Teresa ambushes her out of nowhere.

      • hoolie says:

        MAndy and company doing what they do best….Spin Spin Spin. And of course everyone with a contract can’t say diddly about the real deal…grrrrrrr I so DO NOT like him.

      • reddvette says:

        Create more drama.

      • Jane says:

        Dina actually said this was filmed AFTER the season 3 reunion as an extra scene, and that’s how she “really stayed out of it”. And she didn’t even want to be mic-ed, she just wanted to support Teresa. Why bravo aired this just to get Dina in is beyond me. It’s clear bravo is team Caroline, so why make Caroline look bad? (she looks like a moron for blaming Teresa when her sister has stated numerous times it’s not Teresa’s fault.)

        And Teresa made a comment about Lapland to on wwhl and Lauren and Greg berated her on twitter for it. I think Caroline is getting fired. I think Danielle is going to be brought back and Caroline won’t be returning

        • pinkie says:

          I saw lauren having a twitter meltdown last night during WWHL,(which by the way was pretty good) rosie stuck her beak in as well as candice and slimy greggy. they were going tweeting fast and furious because of the lapband comments. the manzos have gone off the deep end on all this.

          I wonder if they are coming back, they acted like they didn’t have any reason to hold back comments now.

          • Rebecca says:

            I felt the same way! I thought that Lauren’s berating was a clear sign that Caroline wouldn’t be returning, or if she was, that she would only be part time and she would be the only one used, not the rest of her family. I’m actually picturing a Peggy (RHOC) situation where Caroline is on the first 2-3 eps and then says she has had enough and leaves the show.

      • disgusted says:

        if its true whys jachole saying she feels bad she wasn’t invited???? wow the ladies are desperate housewives

    • Samantha says:

      Joe’s brother Pete is the one whose picture and birth certificate Joe used to falsify his application for a fraudulent driver’s license. And for which he’s probably going to do a lot of jail time.

      • Andrea from Alabama says:

        Thank you Katie Couric for reporting LAST YEARS news. We are so lucky to have your backwards self cursing us with your presence.

      • Samantha says:

        And was anyone at this party BESIDES Giudices? Except for Kim D and Dina, that is. (Who was on for what reason, again?)

        And speaking of Giudices, how does the rest of the entire Giudice clan feel about Teresa’s edict proclaiming that their name is now to be pronounced “Joodeechee?” I would think that the old-timers, especially, would have a real problem with this.

  37. renee says:

    Teresa was right to not invite Jacqueline. Jacqueline would possibly of made an attempt to approach dina and caused some type of issue or she would of gathered information from that launch party to bring back to caroline, kathy, and melissa to use against teresa. Am I wrong anyone?

    • Lillibelle says:

      Teresa was probably worried that Jax would drink all the Fabellini and not leave any for the other people attending.

    • Begorrah says:

      Posche fashion show was filmed 9/27/11. Fabellini launch party mid 10/11. Cat Rodriguez butchered this season w her bias editing.

      After the Posche fashion show none of the other ladies were speaking to Teresa so of course they wouldn’t of come, even if invited.

      • Kelly says:

        But why was Melissa babysitting the 2 girls so T could have her party? I thought it odd that she would babysit and not go to launch party.

        • reddvette says:

          If Melissa was really helping she would have taken the baby while Teresa got ready for the party. Where were her boys while they were at the salon.

        • Shipp says:

          Kelly, that was an edit. Probably didn’t even happen the same day. Notice the party was at night. Melissa has the girl in the day.

          You only heard Melissa talking over the scene saying she was taking the girls so T could go to her party. I call bull shit

          • Shipp says:

            Kelly,also the time line doesn’t fit. T’s party was after the reunion. None of them were talking after the reunion. More Bravo bull shit.

      • Lucy says:

        i just cant help but laugh at Jacqueline’s TH interview with her fake tears about not being invited when they all know that they were done with each other because of the fasion show. COME ON! so obvious the producers let the rest of them in on how this season would be edited.

      • disgusted says:

        but wait !!!! mel had the kids…. so how did that happen?

      • PandaBear says:

        This is insane. I understand the need for editing but to blatantly confuse and direct the audience in a biased way is just wrong.

        I know people get a good and bad edit but it should be based on what you actually do when you did it.

        If i was just a general watcher without reading the blogs I would have no idea. This makes me believe even more so that Teresa is not the villain if she was, all of this creative editing wouldn’t be necessary she would succeed in making herself look bad.

        • Shipp says:

          Panda, don’t forget Jac-ass talking head comment wondering why she wasn’t invited to T’s party. Again, that was after the Poshe debacle, and her no show (breakdown) at the reunion.

          Bravo sure plays fast and loose with their edits. They must think the viewers are stupid

          • PandaBear says:

            Right so Jac is clearly lying. I really miss what this show used to be. It was the top HW show with it being 90% fun. Way to ruin a show Bravo.

  38. michers says:

    So who wants to take bets who the liar liar is??? How many times has Dina said herself that TERESA has zero to do with her and her family issues? Right- a million. How many times has Caroliar lied and blamed Teresa? Teresa never meddled in their family business, Caroliar has always put herself in T’s.. so I think because Caro has done that, she thinks Teresa has even though we know T has not ! Im so sick of seeing and hearing that woman and her lies and raging bullshizz.

  39. Ms. Torres says:

    OMG. I love me some Joe Giudice. He so freaking halirious and so real. I just love it

    I loved the part when Tereasa said “Once you stab someone in the back you cant bring them back to live”. I thought it was so freaking halirious.

    I must admit though. It seems that Tereasa does hold grudges but I still really enjoy her with all her flaws. She is who she is and I love it.

    • Lysel says:

      At the Launch party for Teresa’s Bellini the fashion show was in the past. She wouldn’t have invited Jac because at that point they weren’t talking. Editing at it’s finest. Dina Manzo even tweeted that they took her words out of context…it wasn’t about her sister and her situation it was about Teresa and her brother. Sad what they are doing to these people..and what they are letting be done to them.

      • reddvette says:

        You can tell something was off with their talk. Their expressions were not in sync with what they were saying. Manzo babies are having a fit about that conversation. That Dina signed a relaease, she allowed herself to be filmed and mic’ed.

      • Ms. Torres says:

        So this means it happen after the reunion also because wasn’t the reunion film right after the posch show? Why would Jac act like she was hurt? That also means that Melissa didn’t babysit for Tereasa when she took the girls with her. I was confused when that scene came on. I was wondering why would she only babysit Malinia and Gabriella and not the youngest one. Also why she and Joey didn’t attend. That scene really didn’t make any sence to me. Now I get it.

        • Lysel says:

          Exactly. They weren’t there because they had all officially ganged up on her and they weren’t talking at that point. Melissa did not babysit for Teresa for the launch party and she was in on the editing because she said she did. Liars! Bravo Sucks!

  40. renee says:

    I love Dina. Her and Teresa are so fun to watch.

  41. Another Jersey Girl says:

    Dina just said a mouthful: Holding onto anger makes you ugly.

    I guess Don Caro didn’t get that memo…

  42. JoJoLaMa says:

    This conversation between Dina and Teresa is interesting:

    A few timeline facts: When Dina issued that little statement about the situation with Teresa and her sister, she said Teresa came to see her after Teresa had gotten into a giant fight with Chuck and Jac because she was very upset. We now know that had to be after the whole back deck ambush, which happened quite a bit BEFORE Teresa’s fabullini launch party. The fact that Dina showed up to Teresa’s party and discussed things that had arguably already discussed in private, OFF camera the night she went to see her speaks VOLUMES. Dina did her a serious favor? Get it? I don’t think she just decided to show up to Teresa’s party for the fun of it or to support her friend’s business. I think that was about getting her GENERAL support of Teresa and disagreement with Caroline’s treatment of her ON RECORD.

    • JoJoLaMa says:

      Because she had already told her she supported her in private. I’m telling you, this is a BIG deal that Dina made a point of doing it ON CAMERA.

      • hannavas says:

        I agree; it was like a big FU to Caroline for implying that Dina was so feeble-minded that Teresa (or anyone) could pull her from her sister for no reason.

        • Begorrah says:

          Caro has repeatedly blamed Teresa for being a wedge between her and Dina. Well Dina has made it clear that is not the case, nor was Teresa EVER a cause for the breakdown of the relationship with her sister.

          • CaTfAce says:

            So someone said that the Fabellini party was after the reunion aired or happened or whatever? If thats true maybe Dina did this favor for Teresa because she was pissed about Caro lying at the reunion? Who knows I’m getting so confused.

      • michers says:

        Jo, I agree and that makes great sense!!

    • renee says:

      JoJo that makes sense and whatever reason Dina did that, good for her. I also don’t think it would be to far fetched to believe that Dina did that as a dig to her sister for all the crap Caroline has shoveled her way. I could be wrong but it sure would piss caroline off. She can’t let go of anything or move on.

    • Jane says:

      Rumors was that Dina also expected Teresa to choose her ladybug foundation as Teresa’s charity for celebrity apprentice, which never happened. So perhaps this was an offer from Dina, but Dina has made it clear her and Teresa are good, but I got the feeling tonight on wwhl that they aren’t so good ( hope I’m wrong though, I love Dina and Teresa together)

      • Marty says:

        They’re good.

        • Happy day says:

          They tweet supportive tweets, happy birthday wishes for the kids, etc. all the time. They are fine like always. Of course the Manzo and Laurita’s have never sent one kind tweet to Dina or her daughter in two years even when Dina’s tv show launched or aired. Lauren’s constant jealous obsession has her probably eating a bag of Oreos when Dina’s show is on with a voodoo doll with pins in it laying next to her salami platter.

    • Deb says:

      I agree I give Dina alot of credit. Caroliar keeps blaming T for her and Dina’s fight. Dina has said it for a year that T had nothing to do with it. What is wrong with Caroliar???? Bravo better change this show its not fun to watch.

    • disgusted says:

      Good for dina …

  43. JoJoLaMa says:

    Is Andy once again being a TOTAL ASS to Teresa, or is it me?

  44. NYGirl says:

    Did they show previews of next week?

  45. Another Jersey Girl says:

    Hahaha, Tre just said ‘dick’ – for some reason that really gave me a chuckle!

  46. JoJoLaMa says:

    Burn on the lapband!

  47. Nicole says:

    I’ll preface this comment by saying I love Teresa.

    BUT she completely changed her tune about who Joe was talking to on the phone. In her last blog she said she didn’t know who he was talking to and that Joe had forgotten who was talking to. Now she conveniently remembers that he was talking to Albie, his business partner and Claudia?

    • Marty says:

      They were given a really low blow and had no time to really think. I’m not talking about thinking up a lie but trying to remember what he really said . I have these type of situations come up with my husband ( not phone cheating) just can’t remember what I said that bothered him so much. As I days and weeks go by I remember litlle things. Just a thought that’s all.

      • Wilma says:

        I believe that Bravo told Joe G. to say those words for ratings. Just like T. lied on WWHL tonight when Andy asked her why she didn’t invite Jacqueline to the Fabelini launch. T looked confused and then stammered something about it being put together quick just after Napa – when is was in Oct after the PFS and the reunion.

        Melissa also lies during the episode that “I am taking the girls to babysit for the night of the launch party”.

        Bravo is busted… this is all scripted.

        • Andrea from alabama says:

          I know Teresa is so stupid sometimes. She had the PERFECT opportunity to call bravo out. I didn’t invite Jacqueline because she’s a liar like Melissa. Point blank bravo throws me under the bus with editing you roll with me under it with the truth

          • michers says:

            Andrea, I forget where I said this, lol, but I really think none of them can say the real story because of contracts and the potential to be sued!! Im sure Bravo covered their asses with that, so of course Teresa will never be able to fully explain crap, and I also think that the reason Carclown NEVER gives real reason why she is “mad” is because all of her info came from Bravo staff, especially the ones who were fired!! This whole thing has turned into such a wreck!!

    • reddvette says:

      A couple of weeks ago Teresa may not have known what she now knows about the phone call. It has been said Joe has a few calls during that time frame. Teresa is just like any other person she is going to believe her husband, plus she knows Bravo editing.

  48. michers says:

    Anyone watch WWHL, still on.. Teresa is fabulous!! I loved when she congratulates Perez Hilton on losing weight without a LAPBAND- laughs laughs, love it!!

    • Andrea from Alabama says:

      More laughs. Lauren is going apeshit on twitter because of that comment. Hey someone should really tap her on the shoulder and tell her even with lap band she’s fat. I’m sorry, unless I’m being biased, or haven’t seen any recent pics, but she could stand to knock another 15 or 20 lbs. JMO.

      • renee says:

        lol yep she needs to knock a few more pounds off to show that it’s been effective. Serves her right. This girl was so disrespectful to teresa on the last episode. Her mother should of told her to STFU and to respect her elders.

        • Andrea from Alabama says:

          Again, I need a pen to co sign. All Teresa said was congrats on loosing weight naturally. I had to loose the lbs after pregnancy the natural way. Now Caroline, Rosie, and Lauren are crying foul. Are they serious. I mean they put it out there. First, it does send a band message about weight loss. Second, if it was so righteous what she did why’s did she lie and “claim” she did it with diet?

          • Samantha says:

            Anybody got a pen so Andrea can “co sign?” LOLOL!

          • Andrea from Alabama says:

            This is going to seem very harsh to some, but it must be asked of Samantha. Sorry if I offend anyone but Samantha are you retarded? You are so repetitive that it’s a shame. Take your dog breath somewhere and sit it down.

          • jerseygirl says:

            Andrea, I have to say it…you are freakin’ HILARIOUS. Your comments never fail to make me laugh, I mean pee-my-pants laugh!!

          • Shipp says:

            Andrea, maybe you can remove one of ITS claws, dip it in ink and sign.

          • michers says:

            Andrea, not offending me at all! Co-sign, LOL! I have pens for you ;)

          • Andrea from Alabama says:

            I cannot understand why is that people like Samantha and this new savannah bitch comes here and talk down to Tersea supporters. If any of the HW deserves supporters, it’s Teresa. I understand that the sites that are usually “anti-Tre” are leaning more to middle of the road, and definitely 100% against the Manzo’s (that’s why I’m sure Andy threw the poll for exchange for a BJ by Gregg and one of the Manzo boys), but hey the Manzo’s are so annoying and self righteous. And don’t leave out beaver face “I’ll let whomever SmAssme at your Holmes.” I swear I savanah is that bitch Marco brother, Lester, and Samantha has to be Jacqueline. She’s the only other person hell bent on being around people who find her strange and disgusting.

          • Samantha says:

            I’m not talking down to you. I’m telling you very directly that I think you’re a major phony and wish you’d knock it off with this bullshit act of yours. Which is, at best, cringe-worthy and embarrassing, and at worst, EXTREMELY close to being offensive.

          • Samantha says:

            And here’s a heads up — a giant barnacle has attached itself to your ass that you are going to have one HELLUVA time getting rid of lol.

          • michers says:

            Andrea, you won’t understand it, its their pleasure to behave the way the do, LOL. It speaks volumes that in order to get through their day they have to belittle and insult people for having a dislike for who they support. Its pretty funny when you look at it ;) Whats funnier is that if they really do not know or are related to this pack of foaming at the mouth liars, and they say these things.

          • Samantha says:

            @Andrea ~ Toldja.

          • michers says:

            Whatever.. stick your barnacle back where you took it from before you came out to play ;)

          • Andrea from alabama says:

            SaMANtha you’re a musty cunt. There I said it. I already know the answer to my question: yes you’re retarded. Why do you come here and engage me if I’m “so offensive?” I guess it’s true all whores, like yourself, likes to be reemed- but do you think you’re being “loyal” to Jacqueline by allowing Chris Laurita to do that? I mean really bitch. You’re as stupid and pathetic as your sisters Melissa and Ken. Get a job bitch, it’s obvious sucking and fucking ain’t paying ya bills; I hear you’re one step from foreclosure.

          • Samantha says:

            And it looks like a match made in heaven. :)

      • michers says:

        I think her and her mommy already did Andrea, good call, lol!

      • reddvette says:

        Lauren should not be so senitive. Noone talked her name or referenced her. She got the lapband everyone knows it.

        • michers says:

          Again, people are cray cray here, lol!! They sat on camera at Sirius radio, telling us how they called her a hog, and humiliated her back at age 9!!!! But T says one thing in defense on tv, they go apeshit. Anyone else see a problem here???? They trashed Lauren her whole life, laugh it off, but trash Teresa.. But we are nuts for liking Teresa? They win polls for being nasty humans???Lauren is fat, an asshole, hog, stupid, but Teresa is everything wrong with this world .. Ok, I got it now, LOL..

        • CaTfAce says:

          I was under the impression the entire Manzo fambly had lapbands. Besides maybe Albie. I had a friend who was about the size of Lauren and same age considering a lapband, and basically the doctors told her she needed to try everything else first and they only used it as a last resort especially in younger people. My mom also has 3 coworkers who all got one around the same time, and two are having serious health issues because of it, one almost died. I don’t think Teresa is wrong when she made that comment, it is NOT the healthy way to go. Maybe she meant it as a dig, but Lauren just called her a F***** Idiot 3 times on a recent episode, so she needs to get over it and realize she took the lazy way out.

      • Harper says:

        LOL I tweeted Lauren that exact thing when she posted a picture holding “SkinnyGirl” saying she loved it and it wasn’t diet-y. I told her she needs something diet-y because she’s still fat and ugly to boot. She RT’d and agreed! Glad we were on the same page.

    • hoolie says:

      Ditto!!!!!

    • Happy day says:

      Call me silly but I think it is a good message to not encourage 21 years olds to get the lap band. I’m sorry but at that age when your body still has energy and a faster metabolism (wait until she is 35 and over) she should be exercising and eating healthy. In the long haul the Lauren lap band could do a great deal more damage to Lauren and the roller coaster of weight loss ahead of her. And I am sorry, but Tre had FOUR kids and still looks great and is fit, so she can say whatever she wants. Can you even imagine what Lauren will face after a pregnancy.

      • CaTfAce says:

        Yes ITA! I think in general doctors don’t recommend it unless there is a life-threatening issue especially in 20 something year olds. Maybe the Don threatened to put a hit on the Dr unless he agreed to the surgery.

  49. Sprinkle Cookies says:

    Melissa is so stiff whenever she dances.
    And Perez was right when he said she was way to old to be dancing and acting that way.

  50. Sue says:

    I am blocking manzos. Cant read their twitter garbage

    • Anonymousey says:

      I blocked the Manzo’s months ago, forgot to block Ashlee though, and the tweets she was sending out tonight were rude and disrespectful towards other tweeters and to Teresa. I blocked her right after those nasty tweets.
      Ashlee is another spoiled little biatch like Lauren.

  51. Maru the Cat fka Sharon Lea says:

    What?! How could Caro win the WWHL poll? I should have voted :(

    • Melissa says:

      Doesnt matter if you vote because it’s obvious the votes are rigged. I’m so OVER Bravo.

    • CaTfAce says:

      Yes, I really don’t think it matters, I voted and even told my boyfriend to vote just to see. I really thought it wouldn’t have been in the 60% range for Caro though.

  52. renee says:

    OMG SUPRISE SUPRISE 38% TERESA/ 62% CAROLINE. CAN WE SAY FIXED POLL

    • Andrea from Alabama says:

      On twitter almost everyone is team Teresa. O well, can you say fixed poll?

    • T says:

      Bravo really wants people to LOVE the Manzos. I don’t get it?!?! I think they are repulsive! They got the Manzothon & Lumpy was doing those commercials on Bravo giving advice. Most of the comments that Bravo approves are pro-manzo. I don’t get it at all.

      • pinkie says:

        they keep trying to shove their ugly sister on the fans. PPL don’t respond well to the Manzos,,, maybe this is Candy’s experiment to see if he can brainwash the fans into liking these wussy thugs.

    • Cajsa says:

      Lots of Tre supporters no longer watch WWHL – because Andy is an ass.

      • pinkie says:

        LOL wasn’t that WONDERFUL? I have joined the Perez fan club. did anyone notice that Andy wasn’t really digging on Perez. Got him to apologize to Jessica Parker

  53. T says:

    I really hope things change for next season. Bravo needs to re-cast BIG TIME! Please get rid of all the Manzos & Lauritas & Walkies! So sick of all of them! Keep Mel & bring someone on that will put her “On Display” just like she wanted! Also please get back to this show being about the housewives & not the kids or husbands. I hate that the Manzo kids are in every episode & the husbands.
    I fast forward through majority of this crap! I could not watch Lumpy & family at the radio station. They make me gag!!

    • reddvette says:

      You should have it was so funny that noone was calling for advice. The radio producer said as some as the # is given the phones would lite up, they didn’t. Finally Bravo producers. Called in. Lmao, it was killer tv.

  54. Wilma says:

    I watched WWHL and when Andy asked T. why she didn’t invite Jaq she looked confused and lied that it was just after the camping trip when in fact it was after the PFS and the reunion when she was being accused of setting up Melissa.

    T. did lie because Bravo is making her lie. I now wonder if they made Juicy Joe say “c*” for ratings and that is why the story is changing and she isn’t kicking him out.

    (And why is Lauren thinking the lap band comment is about her when it is directed at Al and Caro.) oh yeah because Caro is tiny.

  55. Shipp says:

    Kim D. made a quick appearance on WWHL. I got a feeling Bravo is gonna sign her for the next season.

  56. reddvette says:

    Well, we now know Melissa does not like KimD. Is it because she hasn’t paid her bill at the store? Now last season when she walked in the Pocshe fashion she loved KimD. Wait she said she didn’t like the those kims so does that include KimG?

    • disgusted says:

      i think Kim refused to sell Mel anything that Teresa bought so she hates her now

    • old NJ girl says:

      Kim D and the Gorga’s do not like each other becasue of Joey running his mouth.
      Joey and Lookers owed almost $50,000 to Fred for the party in season 3. Fred is a friend of Kim D. When Fred was trying to get the money from the Gorga’s and talking lawsuit Kim D stepped in and got Fred to accept less and work on his home as payment. Joey then started calling Kim D names around town. At a White party hosted by Kim D during the summer of 2011 that was filmed but not shown (no surprise since it showed the Gorga’s in a bad light) everything it the fan with screaming, yelling and name calling. Kim D trys to stay neutral but leans on the Teresa side of all of them.
      Interesting that Jac and the red queen both accuse Teresa of setting up Lookers but yet they both still shop at Kim’s store.

      • Andrea from alabama says:

        Old NJ your info is interesting. O thought that I wax the only who thought it was odd, especially since Kim has stated many times that she bought melissa’s former client. I think Caroline and Jacqueline know to stfu because they know Kim will pit their accurate business out there.

    • michers says:

      And I may be wrong here but I think Kim D is also friend s with Will Love who , I believe had a huge falling out with a PR person who works for Melissa.. there was a twitter war and a blog war and Will had a lot of good stuff to say about Mel and the rest!!

  57. Divorce says:

    Way to go Tre. I love how you mentioned on WWHL that losing weight the right way instead of surgery is best!!! You go girl. Team Teresa.

  58. Penn boy says:

    Go Look at gregs twitter…He is such a prick!!! So is lauren,ashlee…UGH get the manzo kids off!!!

  59. Vintagehippie says:

    Twitter wars have been funny tonight. There’s someone called Gregsloosehole something like that cracking me up. He posted a pic of Greg in speedos, people are commenting on his tic tac sized genitlia.

  60. Begorrah says:

    If Greggy Bennett were twice as smart, he’d STILL be stupid!!!

  61. Penn boy says:

    Im not watching the reunion…Its gonna be all against one…But,its gonna be odd how season five might playout…PREDICTION: The anti-Manzo base will continue to grow,its gonna get so bad that bravo might do something to make them look good (failed many times and it will again)..Something might happen to the point that it might be a shock to everyone…Christopher manzo will need a lapband and some colgate..Albie will be girlfriendless due to the fact lauren doesnt approve of anyone he dates..PREDICTION SUM UP: The manzo’s will continue to suck!..I personally don’t hate them (how can you hate somebody you didnt hangwith)..But their attitudes are very bitter and hard to like..They are unlikeable people..

    • Andrea from Alabama says:

      Lmao. You know crest will clear that right up if it’s used regularly, and reduce the intake of foods that stains the teeth.

      • Shipp says:

        Andrea, lol, like, oh I don’t know……BLACK WATER.

        Speaking of Bleck Water. I didn’t see anyone one at the radio station hand Mama Doh bleck water when she said she was thirsty. Also there was bottles of something on the desk, but it wasn’t bleck.

        • Andrea from Alabama says:

          Lmaofff. Omg.you can tell that Christopher, Ritchie, Chris, and Albie all get pissy drunk off that BLK water because their teeth are MAJORLY stained.

  62. rukidding? says:

    just saw the episode. it was actually nice watching melissa with her daughter and nieces. it was sweet of her to take them to get mani’s and pedi’s. the girls looked so happy. that is the type of show that it should be family getting along. if only melissa was that nice when she first appeared on the show then i would’ve liked her and been a fan. it was also nice of melissa trying to defend teresa and tell caro she was acting like if they were in high school. you know scary caro did not like that comment. now i wonder if that was just fake melissa trying to look good.

  63. MsMaria says:

    Loved the show tonight. Loved that mel seemed genuine, didnt feel fakeness when talking to caro. How caro acted in cali was just out of line, and she needed to be called out on it.

    Kat-one minute you say you were offended about the toast, next minute you say you dont care..what is it? Not everything is about u booboo! You arent relevant on this show. I know you tried but i dont even realize you are apart of this show sometimes!!

    Loved seeing the kids and going to school together. So sweet!! Loved seeing dina she is too cute. I love how dina keeps ot real, “blood is thicker than water” and dinas reply? “not always” and i agree with that. Blood is blood but will they always have your back? No. I know tre is optimistic about her brother but he is a famewhore. He sold his family out for fame and fortune and STILL no one knows who he or his wife are. They never rose to fame like a lot of the other housewives. Even with mels music!

    Loved Tre & Perez Hilton on WWHL. always been a fan of his and always reads his blogs. He tells it like it is and is blunt. Although i dont think mel is still young, i love that he said “shes no JLO.” which hes right, all these older singers have been in the game for so long, its like we give them an “okay” to act, sing, or dress how they like, because they have talent and now how to dance. Dont know why Andy was so into the song, didnt like it at all but I liked the one at Beatstock I just wanna dance or whatever!

    Loved the lapband diss. They disrespect Tre all the time, can she not diss them back?? Perez lost 80 pounds doing excersise and diet and I watched him lose all that weight on his blogs. He knew he needed a change and he pushed himself to do it, and whats funny is that he was more overweight than lauren! She wanted an easy way out instead of working hars for her bod she went under the knife. Glad tre poked fun of her, shes disrespectful and obviously her mother teached her no morals or class so take a bite out of that LAPBAND LAUREN!!!!

    • MsMaria says:

      *sorry meant to say Mel is still very young, shes only 33 but I get what perez meant.

    • MsMaria says:

      Also sad to know Antonia hasnt hung out with her “sisters”-cousins. Tres daughters. I thought if anything they couldve worked it out for the kids. Antonia needs her cousins. She has two brothers she needs her sisters!!! It hurts me to think they havent spent a year together. They are children!!! And antonia has to spend her weekends with her drunk parents and drunk aunties who bash her other aunt? Its just horrible!

      • MsMaria says:

        Btw-go over to twitter amd have a fun time reading lauren and carolines twitters. Lauren is so pissed and trying to say whatever the hell she can to piss off tre, telling her that her man called her a “C” and she would never let vito call her that and let him get away with it by buying her materialistic shit..well hunnie…i’m sure he has called u a C–T. And worse. You are what you act like boo!!! Plus should she leave her husband for him calling her names? No. Listen ti what shes saying tweedle dee & dums triplette- marriage is about for better or worse. That was her worse. And they are making things right. She deserves diamonds are more from her hubby. Lauren i’m suprised vito even puts up with you, he probably wont for long cause your a snob, and your stuck up, plus you dont know what it fesls like to WORK HARD for what you want in your life, you just want everything to fall into your arms and have mommy and daddy pay for you to lose weight or have them pay for you to start a business. Tre built her empire from the bottom to the top. And it will continue to get even more successful. Wanna know why? She has class baby doll! Shes running to the bank hunnie with her checks-TRUMP CHECKS!!!! HAHA! THREE COOKBOOKS, NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLERS, FABILINI COCKTAILS, MILANIA HAIRCARE PRODUCTS..what coyld be next for teresas empire??? Learn a thing or two from someone who builds a business with motivation and drive. You’re bitchy attitude will get you maybe until the end of this year until caffak will put up a “for sale” sign on its window. Goodluck and oh yeah-keep talking shit about your aunt dina. We’re all supposed to believe your Mom didnt have anything to do with their seperation yet her children are dissing their aunt on a social media site? Don’t worry Dina is cashing her checks- HGTV CHECKS! LOL

        • CEC says:

          Hahaha! Love it!

        • Andrea from Alabama says:

          Maria, Lauren would be happy of Vito called her more than twice a week. Like several people said on twitter, her bitter attitude is keeping her from adding a wedding band to the lap band. And it was funny, just like all the nasty things said to and about Teresa they thought was funny. And I cannot for the life of me get how Teresa tore up Lauren’s self esteem, but her family bashing and trashing her did what? No, not adding up.

          • MsMaria says:

            Self esteem..whata the issue? She got her lapband so self esteem should be through the roof now! LMAO! I love the shit talk on twitter from everyone to tre- when you talk shit about others it really goes to show how bitter and miserable and unhappy you really are!!!! I love it. And i am glad tre will continue to run to the bank while the manzoids run to a smaller sized house and hopefully off this show! Bon voyage suckers!

          • Andrea from Alabama says:

            House Ms. Maria? Don’t you mean single wide trailer sandwiched between Gregg and Chris Manzo love cave and the Marco family. I agree with you. I loved that twitter too. Lauren made herself look like an angry bitter fool.

    • Andrea from Alabama says:

      Loved the lap band diss too. After Lauren went stupid on twitter last night and was laughed off, it’s obvious she cried herself to sleep with the aid of… Greg Bennett? Is it me, or is anyone else wondering why Vito didn’t come to her rescue last night? Oh, he was with his happier girlfriend. She had an excellent replacement in her SIL Greg, who seems to be very supportive. If Lauren keeps up her nasty attitude she’ll never get a wedding band to accompany the Lap Band. JS,

      • Shipp says:

        LMAO!!!!!

      • hoolie says:

        Vito seems like such a nice, laid back kind of guy and his folks seemed like good genuine hard working people, who accomplished having a successful family run business.
        I really hope he doesn’t marry Lauren. He deserves a nice happy gal whose family doesn’t walk into his parents business with their noses stuck up their own asses dissing them.

        • RahRah says:

          Don’t worry, I don’t think his Momma will allow that to happen and Vito gets why. The Manzo’s are so horrible they are bad for business. Can’t you just see Lauren walking into the family store with her nose all turned up looking down on the lowly customers.

          What is Lauren’s own business like these days? I would be so turned off by her conduct and behavior I’d have to pass up her business, after all the snide, snarky, disrespect comments said about Teresa, I’d be afraid that after I patronized her business she’d be talking trash about me after I left her establishment. That and I don’t want a CaCaFace nothing.

          • pinkie says:

            Lauren is a slacker,,, and she really doesn’t run her shop… Her mother does,I see her ask her mother if it is okay to stay home and not come into work. Chuckie is the one working that business.

            I really don’t care about the Manzos. dont want to know what they think or do. I think Bravo knows how the fans feel. its time for Exec Producer to get fired.

        • Andrea from alabama says:

          I know she’ll just make him (more) overweight and unhappy- wait isn’t that what her mother did to her father?

  64. Boss640 says:

    That Poll was fixed come on!!!!!! Melissa no matter what is still a suck up!!! Richie, can we just kick his stupid ass to the curb, what a stupid ass, those stupid comments, Frog eyes!!! LOL!!!! And Jaco , just plain stupid come on Bravo we need better story lines, its getting worse!!!!!!!

  65. Cajsa says:

    I would not assume the poll is fixed. I don’t watch WWHL any more. I quit the episode when Andy called Milania a brat. When Andy so definitively showed his anti-Teresa bias, he lost what made him so appealing. His appeal is rooted in the idea that he’s everybody’s fan, a genuine nice guy. When he revealed his inner Heather, that was it for me. Since I don’t watch, I can’t vote in the poll.

    I am sure I am not the only one who quit watching WWHL after Andy turned on Teresa and her kids.

    • michers says:

      Cajsa- you had me at “inner heather”, lol that was great :) No, I stopped for a while but the last 2-3 times Teresa was on I watched. I hate those polls, and its not just with RHONJ they seem off and unrealistic! I do not think real people do the voting that is counted, lol. It seems too close to politics for me!

  66. holy cannoli says:

    loed seeing the kids getting ready for school. Loved when Antonia missed the bus..So cute. Loved when Melissa took the girls for mani and pedis.. I really wish everything would have worked out for that family.. Those kids really love each other..The whole thing really makes me sad. :(

    LMAO at the Manzo Mafia getting their meatballs all messed up on twitter last night over Teresas comeent about lapbands. or whatever she said on WWHL. Aww did she call YOU OUT LARUEN/AL?? Freakin No??
    What about Daddy saying on national tv, is she can’t do it,( on her own) daddy will buy her a lapband.. Please, Lauren you took the lazy way out you weren’t even that over weight!!

    Besides that everything those asshats have said about Teresa on the show, on twitter on WWHL, what she said on WWHL WAS FREAKIN NOTHING!! GROW THE F- UP.. Big mouth meatball face Manzos!!

    • michers says:

      Holy, this is getting so ridiculous!! Now, I am trying to get this straight because it is really bothering me- Lauren is ridiculed by her own family since she was a kid ; HOG, fat, stupid, no prom dates, asswhole, fat, lazy, fat, liar, fat, humiliated on tv by Mom and brothers, fat.. Teresa strikes back once every 20 insults they throw at her, and she is twitter-ized, lol? Rosie joined in of course, as she too had lap band, so now its bully Teresa for that comment because their pea brains think that was bullying! Greggy, who should not get any attention ever, called T a loser because she has fake tits,lol.. Um, Teresa never lied , got the bubbies on the show, and its not the same whatsoever because Lauren fooled overweight people in America with her false hope and illegitimate ( sp?) doctor about weight loss before going to a tabloid and telling her version of the truth!!!!!! Is anyone else catching this load of bullshit?

      • michers says:

        “Let me tell you something” , LOl I think the lap band needs to go back where it came from because looking at some who have had it, along with their attitudes, I would say it is a defected product!

      • holy cannoli says:

        Hi michers

        They are such freakin asshats!! Such hypocrites! F- them all seriously!!

        All of them can say the most awful things to her, about her( her husband/ kids) on the show, on twitter, on WWHL, all of it.. She says something and all freakin hell breaks loose by those asshats!!

        Then when they get reminded of their shit on twitter, they loose their shit.. They don’t want to hear anything..I am so sick of those people!!

        • michers says:

          And I caught this from their own BS- If Greggy calls out Teresa for being a loser and and unnatural” for fake tits, where does that leave Melissa or Jax?? LOL.. Lapband lying and dieting is totally different and Teresa never hid nor lied about her fake bubbies!!!!! Uh Oh ladies watch out because your friend Greggy insulted you along with Teresa!!!!!! So dumb that bunch, so dumb! Hmm, I guess they never knew the concept think before you speak, or tweet.. LOL

          • hoolie says:

            I saw his comment about her chi chi’s………difference is, you can’t GROW breasts naturally, but you CAN LOSE WEIGHT without surgery.

            And Rosie sure did NOT do lapbands any favor with weight issues…..which brings us right back around to COUNSELING will address the emotional issues to overeating…. Lapbands do NOT and you can go alter yourself physically and it’s NO GUARANTEE for anyones “confidence issues”.

      • Andrea from Alabama says:

        Rosie had lap band? Who performed the surgery Helen Keller? That’s why agree with Teresa. Lauren is sending a dangerous message. I had a friend who had gastric bypass and she’s so fucked up it’s unbelievable; it happened over a year ago and she hasn’t returned to work. You would not believe the complications that can arise from weight loss surgery, but irresponsible people like Lauren makes it seem like it’s easy like Sunday morning. No, that surgery is very dangerous. Also I know tons and toms of people who have had lap band. The first few months they’re constantly at the Dr. getting the band tightened and loosen. Everyone that I know that has had the lap band lost their weight, kept their poor eating and no exercise habits, and found every pound that they lost within three years. As I’ve said, I know tons of people. I considered having the surgery after my son was born (I gained 93 lbs during my pregnancy). My husband said hell no, push back from the table and exercise. It took damn near forever, but I got it off. Now I’m back on track to look like Lauren Manzo again. Yippee.

        • michers says:

          I can believe it. I have come across about 5-6 women through our travels and they all had complications, very sad for those who have truly struggled, had no alternatives, no help, no $$ or daddy to fix and this lying little spoiled brat who has her family gang up on her, picks a fight with Teresa? Wake up America! That is not even considering the poor souls who lost their lives form needing the surgery.. shame what Bravo allows to be exploited in the wrong way.

          • hoolie says:

            I hear you Michie- at my old job, insurance covered the lapbands/gastric bypass- we lost one fella on the table (his wife was due in 1 week with twins….sad sad sad), another had her SECOND procedure and she STILL didn’t lose the weight…. others had complications….and after 5 yrs, most of the others that lost a drastic amount of weight had gained approximately 1/2 back.
            There is no easy way out for losing weight… like Bama’s comments, HARD WORK, SELF CONTROL and learning to deal with the WHY”s of your over indulgence is the long term solution that usually lasts.

          • Andrea from alabama says:

            I know. I swear it’s nit worth the risk. The chick that I know that messed up she wishes she would’ve stayed fat- way way less complications. Lauren saying things like if I were skinny I’d be happy. Where is she located? That’s sounds utterly stupid to me. I’m not a health but by any stretch of the imagination, but weight loss is not really that hard to do (as long ad your thyroids aren’t screwed up). But its a billion dollar industry that screws people- I think it should be lumped in with porn. Everyone does have daddy with deep pockets, insurance that covers it. Hell most people can’t take the surgery physically, but we all have will power. JMO.

        • Shipp says:

          Andrea,”Rosie had lap band? Who performed the surgery Helen Keller?” Hand to God, I just wet my pants laughing.

        • JerseyGirl118 says:

          I’m a nurse and I used to take care of people at home who had complications following gastric bypass. It’s not really the procedure itself but complying with everything you need to do afterwards. You don’t always hear about the people who don’t do well with it. Anyway comparing a boob job to a lap band is stupid and truly juvenile. I just feel sorry for Lauren in some ways because she I think she probably had a really bad childhood. I mean, if your mom calls you fat and an a**hole on national tv, imagine what she’s called to her face when the world’s not watching. She has a foul mouth and a bad temper and seems to be isolated from anyone outside manzoville. Does anyone know if Vito is still in the picture?

      • reddvette says:

        Really now we all know that the Manzos blame others for every problem in their lives. Or rather Teresa is the blame of all the issues in their lives. Its Teresa’s fault that the Manzos as a family has trashed Lauren, that half of the Laurita family does speak to Caroline, it Teresas fault Caroline didn’t get the cookbook deal, the teeth whitening ,or the endorsement deals. It Teresa’s fault that Caroline’s handbag line, radio show and colume failed. Teresa is the cause of all their problems.

        • hoolie says:

          That’s what cracked me up with Whack’s overuse of the “Blame Shifting” phrase…. take a look at Chuckie- Red Queen of Blameshifting

  67. holy cannoli says:

    I just watched the after show of WWHL on SH.. Teresa says the Reunion was so emotional as she hasn’t seen her brother in a year.. She could n’t beleive the lies coming out of his mouth, and that he brings their father into it.. I guess she asked her father about something that Joey said he said, and her father said her never said it.. Wow.. Anyway check it out, either on SH, or I’m sure it’s on the Bravo site. WWHL Aftershow.

  68. K says:

    I don’t know, I kind of like Samantha… I disagree completely with her 99.9% of the time but, come on, she is funny as hell! A lot of regulars have had some snappy comebacks but Samantha has had her moments, too. For a (mostly) lurker like myself, I find her entertaining minus the inappropriate comments about Gia, of course, but those were deleted before I could see those. I understand a lot of you are truly sick of her but I just wanted to say that as long as she keeps in clean with the kiddies, I’m going to keep looking at her comments. Just my opinion, guys! She’s even gotten on my ass so I do get the frustrations!

    As for the savannah Nicole person, I’ve seen that username on the bravo blogs putting in major work. I guess that got boring… Or futile. I don’t think she’s a very tolerant person of differing opinions based on what I’ve read. I am sure that carries over into her offline life. She tries way too hard and it’s kind of sad. She also seems severely undereducated. I knows that’s kind of mean. She’s a different breed than Sam. Sam seems to thrive on being contrary, which keeps the threads from being repetitive.

    Clearly I don’t have the strongest opinions on NJHWs but I’m “team Tre” lol! Just because I chose a side doesnt make me a worshipper or whatever, just sayin’. I think Jac needs therapy really badly. Caro is a jackass. Lauren is a disgusting piece of fat shit. Melissa should have never tried to get on the show and she wouldn’t have even had a chance without Teresa.

    • rukidding? says:

      lol K, i like your post but i’m not too sure i wanna agree with you about sam the man. i don’t know if you’re being serious or joking. i guess in a way i’m used to his antics. kinda like an annoying itch you don’t like but get used to it and when it’s gone you wonder where it went then BAM!! it comes back. the only thing about your post i’m afraid of is that he will see it and think being an annoying troll is cool and give him and other trolls an ego boost. they’re heads are already big. i’ll keep my disdain for him and his troll friends and keep thinking maybe he’s just some mental patient only way to deal with him absurd comments. “true story”. :)

  69. reddvette says:

    The funny thing is no one said lapband until Andy read off a card that Lauren was twetting about Teresa and lapband. Teresa told Perez good he lost the wght natuurally. No where in there was lauren called out or drunk Rosie. Rosie said she had lapband 3 yrs ago. She may should have saved that infromation. Rosie said Teresa is bulling overwieght people. How?

    • holy cannoli says:

      @ reddvette

      When Perez was saying he lost 80 lbs. Andy said something like how and he said on his own or something like that, Teresa said naturally and patted him on his back, no lapband? good for you. It went something like that.. Anyway she did say lapband, but did not call anyone out. What the big deal was I don’t freakin no.. Then Andy read said something like Lauren thought she was dissing her or whatever. Teresa said something like I like things natural like my drink Fabelinni

      The Manzos and Rosie went off on twitter like Teresa was dissing fat people or something, so freakin stupid, those people are reaching for anything

  70. portland says:

    I wish Dina and Teresa wouldn’t have lowered themselves to “that” level. I like it when they take the high road. Teresa doesn’t mean tweet and Dina doesn’t participate in the drama. I always thought that put them above the rest of the crap that swirled below them.

    So, Teresa makes a smack comment about a lapband and Dina appears on camera with a mic clearly taking sides and creates drama.

    Two wrongs don’t make a right. Dina could have supported Teresa without a mic and Teresa could have not made such a big deal about Perez’s natural weight loss.

    I realize that they are finally fighting back against the swirling crap. Nevertheless, I had more respect when they truly kept it classy.

    • Shipp says:

      There comes a time in life when ya just can’t take any more shit. I say bravo to D & T. I say Bravo you’re viewers aren’t stupid. Your editing was disgusting, and dishonest. Liars.

      @Portland
      I’m that type of person…I’ll take a lot of shit from people.( Especially family members) But push me to that point & I react. T took a lot from these idiots. If I was her I would have l

  71. Kelly says:

    What’s true and what isn’t at this point. The editing was horrible, I picked it up as soon as the show began. We will hear the truth from T when the reunion airs.

    • michers says:

      Kelly, if any of them are still returning for a another season, we will not hear the truth, thats my take! If they speak , or Teresa, tells the whole story, they would probably be sued by Bravo. Im sure Bravo will and has put the screws on any way any of them would be able to tell us everything.

  72. Chupacabra says:

    OKAY OKAY I HAVE TO SAY THIS

    victoria is a mouth breather and it was driving me insane i was all like omg just close your mouth, you can do it, breathe through your nose, and the poor girl giving the college tour was all like omg you are totally breathing on me right now. her mouth looks like butthead’s mouth, it’s always open like i wonder how many flies she’s eaten? and the outfit….WTF was she wearing? the ill fitting, heinously patterned blouse tucked into the equally ill fitting 1979 pair of pleated orange dockers mess. jesus christ who is giving this girl fashion advice? I KNOW I KNOW IM SORRY VICTORIA, i am sure you are a lovely young lady I CAN’T HELP MYSELF, i see this and im like is NO ONE else seeing what Im seeing? or you all are seeing it and are just a lot nicer than me cause i gotta let this shit out!

    • CaTfAce says:

      LMAO! I felt bad but I was thinking the same thing. She dresses just like a mini-Kathy. Poor girl she seems like she’s nice enough, feel bad she has those disgusting parents.

      • Chupacabra says:

        yeah i really should not be shit talkin cause i like LIVE in my pajamas. i dont go out in them but as soon as i get home im back into them, im no fashion diva i like old jeans a tee and a flannel so i got no room to talk…BUT when i do have to dress nicely i have the ability to look in the mirror and see the truth staring back at me like omg i totally cannot go out with muffin top or wtf these shorts make me look like someone shoved a pillow in the front of them and forced the zipper closed or jezus crist i gotta do something about this top cause i cant move my arms cause its so tight and the buttons are all stressing out they look angry and there is no way in hell i would go on national television showing my disgusting cellulite thinking a flimsy sheer too-small sarong thing is going to conceal my utter flabby legs and gunt.

  73. ceecee says:

    HA! Anyone with a brain @ this point has got to know that bravo has created the majority of this Drama. The truth is slowly coming to a head of how scenes have been edited….i smell a BUNCH of shadiness going on, even with Mr. Cohen himself.

  74. michers says:

    Rox, to answer your question, I hate the editing and the lies. It makes me feel even more bad for Teresa because she cannot catch a break! I am in no way defending the others on the cast but I am wondering how much of a part in this whole mess has editing played a role in the demise of all these relationships? Especially if you had shady producers manipulating so much, what have they done or said to them to turn them against T? This would also explain WHY Caroline can never say why she is mad at Teresa!!! They cannot say if “insiders” had their hands in this! What a shame if the Bravo employees were the only ones at the root of all of this! It does not take away from some of them lying to get on the show, but it would explain a lot of this mess, not all, but a lot.

  75. Chupacabra says:

    next season should be interesting cause meho and slowjoe are all the sudden turning on scrotumface. what is their motive?

    also HATE HATE HATE how the producers fuck up the time line of everything. they think we are idiots, we know the fabellini party was after the PFS, why do they do this shit, it’s not like there’s not enuff drama already in play, they don’t need to manufacture all this BS, SOOOO annoying.

    CUT THE SHIT BRAVO JUST FILM WHAT HAPPENS WE DONT WANT YOUR FAKE STORYLINES stupid sobs, they’re like totally feeding us poop sangwiches and poop sangwiches taste bad.

    • holy cannoli says:

      LOL Chup, I agree!

      We all freakin know whats what, Jacqueline spilled all the deets about everything freakin thing the night of the PFS, and had pretty much told us what happened all of season 4. So we all know the freakin time line. WT$%^&.

      Every blogger has picked up on all this stuff, Bravo must really think the viewers are stupid!

    • CaTfAce says:

      They are counting on the fans who occasionally watch and just believe everything they see. Sadly, there’s a lot of them out there who are either not bright enough to see through it or just don’t want to. I think that’s what makes me the angriest, that people actually believe it just because their TV says so.

      • Chupacabra says:

        DONT THEY KNOW WE HAVE THE POWER OF THE INTERWEBS????

        you would think that they would realize that they can’t get away with this shit, i guess they just don’t care….well you know what bravo SCREW YOU BRAVO SCREW YOU CAUSE THE WEBMACHINE GETS US THE TRUTH OR AT LEAST SOME VERSION OF IT. IM SOOO NOT WATCHING ANYMORE OKAY THATS A TOTAL LIE BUT IF I COULD I WOULD STOP WATCHING. THAT’S IT ONLY NATGEO FOR ME NO MORE HOUSEWIVES BRAINROT OKAY THATS ALSO A COMPLETE LIE BUT I WANNA STOP WATCHING YOU JUST SO YOU KNOW IF I COULD I TOTALLY WOULD.

    Haven’t read comments yet so my apologies if this was already mentioned!! First, can we talk about Melissa showing up at Teresa’s house like a Movie Star..What’s with the Sunglasses and eye make-up Melissa? I just saw a pic on Famewhorga’s site that depicts the real you..lol. Next, Poor Jacqueine can barely move her face! Jacqueline, more Nicholas time, less Botox.. Puhleeze!!
    I love that Bravo gave Caroline the UGLY edit!! It’s about time, not to mention, I loved them showing the parallels between Teresa’s Fabellini success and Caroline’s Sirius failure…Kind of made my night!! lol ;)

    Lauren deve fare attenzione con il suo atteggiamento negativo…

  80. FREE KROY says:

    Kathy, Caroline, and Jacky’s (without Ashley drama) families are boaring. They really should not bring Kathy back. Melissa is friends with the other girls and I don’t think she serves an interesting entertainment purpose. Oh wait…Rosie. Nvm. If they show more Rosie, I can stomach Katy and Richie.

  81. JerseyGirl118 says:

    Did anyone else laugh when Melissa went to see Caroline and the first thing she asks is hey can you play my song on your Sirius show? And Caroline didn’t even pause or think and just said NO. Here is my prediction. Bye bye Kathy, and maybe Manzons too. Bring on the peeps to start to put Missy in the hate seat. All depends how they spin the finale. There is just tooooo much out there about the Gorgas for any of it not to be true. Meanwhile, there are no skeletons in the Giudice’s closet, except possibly a mistress of Joe’s. But there are zero rumors or documents of legal issues (bankruptcy aside) drug use, past professions (ps who even cares if meho stripped, danced, bartended) or lies on screwing anyone over. Bring on the peeps to bring missy off her high auto tuned horse!!!!

    i think they need to recast this show because it’s not fun to watch anymore it’s all fighting and b.s.
