The Real Housewives of New Jersey

Perfect response. With the exception of her kids, Teresa cares only about herself. Every friendship/relationship is based only on whether she thinks that person is "loyal" to her and nothing else. No concern, caring, history, connection...she doesn't bond. She's almost sociopathic in the way she doesn't have real feelings. Look at her past; her brother Joe, Melissa, her cousins, Jackie L, even Danielle ..who she dumps when she finds out she told about her part in pulling Marge's hair.
Even today, you know she can't stand Melissa but she expects complete loyalty from her.

Is she trashy? God yes. She's also vulgar and stupid. I get that intelligence is God given, but her arrogance, meanness, compulsive lying,  and  bragging that she's smart..."I am NY time best selling author"  (plus she thinks it's cute that she uses words incorrectly) make it easy to call her out for being so dumb.

Does anyone find it odd that Teresa now  is defending Joe to the point of telling her brother  and Delores not to say anything bad about him ever again and is  going into business with him selling sex toys in the US???? A man  who cheated on her repeatedly, whom she blamed for all of their criminal legal problems, her going to prison, missing
precious time with her mother when she passes away, and  the huge debt. 

Right Teresa ... You knew nothing about the fraud and other crimes lol

queenb- I am with you 100% on your recent post about Teresa! I read somewhere that she made up that storyline about Jackie’s husband to stay relevant on the show. She is worried they might can her..which would be amazing if they did! I don’t get it...her ex treated her like garbage yet she is still doing business deals with him. She paid all his debt for crying out loud! What an idiot....!!!

Whenever I look at #rhonj on Twitter, I am amazed at how pro-Theresa everyone seems to be. I will always continue to watch the housewives probably, but all of these shows have veered so far from the original concept. Anyone else remember in the early days when it was a glimpse into the lives of these women? Now they have to start rumors about each other and throw wine glasses and scream at each other to ramp up the drama or they will be off the show.

The thing about Teresa... I neither hate nor love her. I did like her before Melissa and Kathy joined the show. I can see how she felt blindsided when the people she thought were her friends (Caroline and Jac) turned on her. I know most of it stems from the incident in the DR that none of them can talk about for legal reasons. The new Teresa I'm not a fan of.

Melissa  throwing  all that cheese,  then proceeds  to clean it up..



All the women in their confessionals say what Teresa  is like, but they let her get away with it.
Delores  makes the most sense to me, she's  spot on.

Delores has the advantage of knowing Teresa fir a long time. I was watching the replay of the third season this week and was surprised at how often Delores popped up long before she was a cast member. She knows how much of Teresa us unhinged, but that it’s futile to confront it. Teresa is like a two year old throwing a tantrum. Don’t give it attention and she’ll move on to something else.

Exactly! They both look very similar...

Lol, every time they say jail I yell PRISON! I'm glad I'm not the only one who gets bugged out when they keep saying jail! She's a felon...indeed!

Marge's Joe may have passed Frank last night as my favorite man on RHNJ. I thought he did such a great job of being there after Joe and Melissa's fight in a way that calmed things instead of stirring it up.

I watched the fight wishing that Joe and Melissa would realize it's time to leave the show for the sake of their family. I think the problem is that Joe sees a lot of the same changes in Melissa that he's seen in Teresa, and it worries him. He definitely has some very old fashioned views of marriage that he needs to update for the sake of a lot of people - especially his kids. But hearing him talk about money changing people made me think what he really resents is the show - even though the show has given him access to A LOT in his life. It's not worth it - their family is worth so much more!

I did love the prank Frank and Joe pulled off on Melissa. It was perfectly executed!

Poor Joe Gorga. He’s not as smart as his wife, not as evolved, not as successful. Her RH gig and spinoff money-making looks to have brought in more real cash than he could snag even with all his fraud and scams. His scam on one of the husbands (Ewan, Evan?) outed him again.

The first RHNJ years, Melissa was a homely woman, kept like a pet, used for sex, constantly listening to his sperm/erection/horny talk; all that belligerent bleating; subservient to Joe. She’s matured beautifully, physically and in her career; she’s outgrown him. The poor neanderthal doesn’t have the mentality to catch up. I think she’ll keep him anyhow; she does care for him and they both value family.

I dont watch this show enough to keep up with it, but I watched Carolyn Manzo on Andy Cohen's The Story of Reality TV and she seemed quite nice and genuine.

The Jennifer woman and family getting ready for their party... Jennifer’s mother with makeup, she looks just like Jennifer, and the little daughter too, looks like both of them - like clones at different ages, how sweet.

Giudice doesn't know when to shut up, does he?

Guidice loves trouble. Most of everything they do, is just for the camera's, I guess his sex toys aren't selling that well.
