This is such a pantload of crap. Everyone knows that Teresa gets paid by In Touch. That is why all her stories are in that one magazine. Just like Kim Zolciak has a contract with Life & Style, Teresa has a contract with In Touch. Also, is there some sort of requirement that the WWHL cameraman has to keep the camera on Andy when the guests are answering the questions? The camera was on Andy and Joe more than Teresa while she was spinning her lies.
Meanwhile, RHONJ sucked so bad this season that there is really nothing to discuss from last night. It was a weird, staged, drawn out argument about nothing with Tre, Jaq and Caroline. But what was worse is the Lauren storyline. Why on earth did any of the Manzos agree to such a thing? Even her father called her fat last night! Not only is it humiliating to Lauren, but we really don’t care what she ways.
Are y’all still watching this?
I watch just for the plain reason there's not much else on right now. Plus I find Teresa's comeback line "Are you kidding me???" quite comical. Everyone knows that's the response most people give when they are at a loss for words and she loves to use that line — indicative of her intelligence level if you ask me.
I didn't like Caroline at all until toward the end of last season and during the last reunion when she admitted she'd treated Melissa and Kathy like crap. I never saw anyone do that (admit they were wrong about something) before on one of these shows and I was pretty impressed.This season she's been boring as hell but acts as if she knows it and couldn't care less.But last night she was pretty incredible — if anyone should be a lawyer in that family, it's her. And I absolutely loved the "Nice bag" parting shot lol. Team Bulldog!
I hate that the seasons were filmed back to back and now 1 year later we r seeing this tired played out story. Brovo, the end better be jucy if not "are you kidding me?"
Last night was pretty horrible. I'm sick of Lauren's story line.. Did you see how Caroline looked at her when she ordered a fruit cup?? Seriously? That staged drawn out argument was nothing but a Bravo set up.. However, I LOVED the look on Theresa's face when Caroline strolled in. Quote of the night "Effing Baby".. LOL.. That's how she referred to her niece and nephews.. Classy..
You DO NOT get paid for interviews! Everybody knows that I'm sick of people saying you do. A magazine can take any story and print true or false positive or negative. Its plenty of REAL celebrity that have story done about them in the magazine that's negative And nobody attacks them and say they put it out there. You could simply google hoe magazine works it doesn't take a rocket scientists to figure it out! This is just another dead storyline for the show! The other ladies have both positive and negative story out there and nobody accuse them of selling stories. You can't sell a story you get paid for the photos Ans that's it. I'm not saying it because I'm a T fan (because I could careless who it was) I'm saying because everybody taking shit that they see on a fake ass reality show and running with it. I no longer watch any reality show that I feel is too fake and too setup!
I catch the second showing of it, after I watch True Blood. The show is boring this year. As far as the magazine stories…like Melissa said, that's how Tre is making money. It's like she has someone telling to make up stories because they sell better.
I also loved how when Teresa tried to save face with "What? No more kisses?" Caroline wouldn't even look at her and just sat there adjusting her bra.I thought that Teresa getting paid for these interviews was an established fact; reputable news sites have been reporting as much since she started doing them. I also wonder how In Touch feels about her claiming that they continually print lies about her. Joe Giudice's apology to "the gays" was the one of the lamest apologies I've ever heard. You could also tell that Teresa forced him to do it lol.
Nope I stopped watching after the second episode, I can't stand the way Caroline always says keep her kids out of the drama, yet they are some of the main ones standing aroung stirring the pot, and why does Bravo give them so much airtime anyway, is Caroline's life that boring that all we get to see is her kids?
I have a BIG problem with Lauren now being a housewife. What in god's name. They're acting like she's morbidly obese or something. She is overweight, but hey, so is half of america. I get she has insecurity issues and the whole madness, but the way– wait, the fact that this is a storyline is disgusting. And like, it's not like she's just working out and eating healthy. She's just whining to the camera and using daddy's money to get surgery. On Teresa, ay ay ay. I hate how Bravo has made her (this season seems RIDICULOUSLY scripted- with the magazines, and the faux parties, and lawyer meetings) the new Nene and Bethenny. She's not friends with anyone and is trying to build an empire. She's getting big bucks from being stupid and I understand that, but the pretending kills me. Just admit it. You need cash and you're earning it. What I found truly hilarious was Jackeline skyping with Ashlee's father on her backyard, drinking Bailey's and with Chris creepy watching by. As he did with J was talking to Teresa. It freaked me out.They're all so damaged. None of them admit faults. None of them can see how their behavior affects the next person. None of them are aware of how stupid they're being. I'm done watching.
Lauren got a lap band so far she lost 30 lbs , she looks GoodWhenever I see people whine'ing and complaing about their weight issues ( OPRAH ! ) get a weight loss operation. Its obvious they do not have the will power to lose the weight on their own.
Thankfully I NEVER tuned in beyond the first 5 minutes of this season's premiere. This whole franchise is a way overdone. Bravo, use your business sense! You need to focus on the strengths of your break-out stars such as Nene, Kandi, Bethanny and the like, doing whatever it is they do best. Kandi I would watch for something uplifting; many peole love her kind and humbled spirit. Betthany made the show. She was the reason I enjoyed a few episodes of the housewive series she was on. The dumbiest decision to let her go. Nene, I would definitley watch as a talk show host; I really enjoy her in the natural-off-the-cuff moments. She has definitely become the sassiest-smartest slogan-maker of the last few years. Many things people say and have said worth any humor, originated from her. But I dont think I would watch her in anything scripted , had enough of that! Love everything 'Au Naturale'. Bravo listen up..GET it together and bring in some fresh perspectives and Soon! Otherwise, you already know what's up. The ONLY thing I will commit to watching is the next season of RHOA, everything else I'm DONE!!!!Losing your Appeal!Lannette
They pay her for the pictures.
"we really don't care what she ways"Do you mean "weighs" or are you talking about something else?
I really don't get it…why would you answer questions and put your private life out there and not get paid! Teresa has said more than once they call her and ask her questions and then they print whatever they want. Somehow this doesn't make sense. If they're interviewing you why wouldn't you just say no comment if it was something personal like your husband going to jail. Is she really a fame whore…not prostitute, because they get paid!
Theresa like Kim is a habitual liar that's all. Confronting her about any of her lies or the things she does is pointless just like it is with Kim. You will get more lies, denial, and delusions!
Andy Cohen was wrong it was not months before they joined the show that he informed Teresa it was a week. Melissa confirmed this on twitter. Yall are just so eager to be against Teresa and call her dumb its actually sad very sad. Atleast I do a background check or read other material. And this blog is definitely NOT the blog for any truth to what is going on RHONJ. Idk about you but a week before they joined she was informed by her boss and not by her family…..I think ID be piss. ANd Melissa was talking to Danielle behind the scenes she had just found this info out a week before this last episode rem this was a full year ago. So I think ID still be pissed off about it!! Jac is out of her mind for thinking otherwise. Then she is mad at Teresa for retweeting what Danielle said about having had contact with melissa and says she is disloyal please, at least she isnt shown filming with her and talking about her friends like JAC, Jac is NOT a good friend she is a lunatic. ANd If I was Teresa I would have just said fuck you and walked away. Melissa even admitted to talking to Danielle and telling her info about Teresa and their problems in her BLOG last week and it will be shown on the next week episode. YOu should read her blog this week she is doing damage control. Lastly I might be wrong bc Im sure Tamara thinks she knows every damn thing…..BUT most celebs do not get paid for the story unless its an exclusive. Like all of the celebs who constantly sue tabloids for putting out false info on them Im sure they aren't getting paid. Ive seen it on realitiy tv shows too esp the Kardashians. I don't believe anything I read in tabloids and Im just a reg person so WHY In the HELL would Jac believe anything she read in a magazine and the comments that CAroline is upset about is sooo damn petty they aren't even bad. I don't know what really happened in PUNTA CANA but it obv is the reason why Caroline is so damn upset and decided to try to take Caroline down. HOWever its making her look insane with jealousy. THey make people sympathetic for TEresa. ANd its obvious that they go to Therapy I knew it from the beginning this a damn reality tv show.Bio TeacherAlso Teresa should be capable of writing her blogs. SHe has a damn degree from Berkley. I have a degree and I am working on my Master's just last week I received an A on a paper I wrote in 5 hours, 9 pages. NOt many people in my class who are much more experienced than me received an A so that speaks volumes plus Im young as hell. However I speak horribly in my daily life. I am from the country and I use slang and my accent is truly SOuthern…Im sure you would call me dumb too. HAHA but Im highly intelligent:)
I don't need to do any research! I recognized how Teresa was on season 1. So it has nothing to do with Melissa. Teresa has lied about so many things & most of the time she insults our intlligence when she does i.e. lying about Joe drinking & driving! She was perfectly fine with demanding answers for all of Danielle past problems. Why does she think she should get a pass for current mess? I agree that Caroline is pissed about the Punta Cana stuff and that was probably what pushed her over the edge.
@Anon at 8:50 I don't know you, nor do I care what your opinion is. I was merely stating mine. Bio Teacher
@Anon at 8:50 I don't know you, nor do I care what your opinion is. I was merely stating mine. Bio Teacher
Degree from Berkely = "ingredientses"??? LOL I hope Teresa continues to allow others to write her blog. PLEASE let someone else do it.
@ Bio Teacher ~ Andy said that Teresa was aware of the possibility of Melissa and Kathy joining the show MONTHS prior to taping. After about five minutes of "what, who me?" Teresa finally agreed that this was true.Melissa was referring to the conversation Teresa had with Joey about how Melissa would leave him for someone with more money — THAT happened shortly before taping. Not two months before, like Teresa has been saying.
I just re-read the tweet and it did not specify what she was exactly speaking of, however I must say it would make sense that she was not referring to the situation with Andy and Teresa bc that would make her look bad. My issue still is this a producer called and told her that they were speaking to her family but it was not her actual family. I still wouldn't be happy bc everyone knew that at the time they were not getting along and hadnt been for a while. They knew full well what their story line would be. And the whole Danielle situation just proves what their intentions were. However like I said I don't really care what anyone on here thinks or believes. I dont agree with most comments and I don't care. And if you think just bc of how someone speaks should determine if they know content you are hilarious!! Bc I know my shit and Im sure no one on here can even stand against it, Or debate me on any educational issue or any Biology issue. Period. Bc I know my shit. But do I pronounce or say everything correctly no. But I can write better than most people and I can definitely speak very well when I need to. But not everyday not when I am in a home setting with friends. Believe what you want. I just like to share my opinion bc that is the point of comments, people will believe what the hell they want to eitherway.Bio TeacherBio Teacher
Like most of the other readers/commenters here, I was going to politely ignore the fact that you clearly cannot write well, as demonstrated by your own posts. However, your repeated comments that "I don't really care what anyone on here thinks or believes" and your overwrought defense of your own abilities, "no one here can even stand against it" contradict each other. If you don't care about these readers, why do you work so hard to convince them that you're educated, even though you can't write or speak well? And "knowing your shit" is not an education. Let's keep the comments to Tamara's blog, instead of talking about how smart we are, despite evidence to the contrary.
<3 Bio Teacher's comments
@ Bio Teacher not sure why you had such a harsh reaction to my post! Lol. I was only responding to the fact that you seem to think everyone needs to do some research when it comes to Teresa. I'm happy for you if you think she's the innocent party in all of this. However, I'm not buying into any of her spin because she's demonstrated enough to me that she is a liar, immature, hateful, and self-absorbed person. Hope that opinion doesn't send you into cardiac arrest. 🙂
cosign anonymous 1:29, and 2:02. this blog has become tiresome and redundant. i debated even responding cause im not interested in encouraging or engaging certain individuals, but decided i wanted to support those individuals who represent some of the best examples of balanced and respectful dialogue in the blogosphere. i know tamara has been distracted lately, but i hope she gets back on the case soon. it is helpful when commenters remember opinion is different from fact, and we need to treat same accordingly.chitown shelley
99.9% of this blog is opinion…This is the true sense of the word "blog"…Somebody on the internet that is posting their ramblings about how they think or feel and never really offering up one shred of proof – Tamara has mastered this…Chile, she has missed scoop after scoop concerning damn near everything going on…Please DO NOT take an ounce of what Tamara's opinions are make them into facts…She just missed the latest KKP scoop for RHOA…I'm sure a post will be coming about it soon but honey this blog is just a public on-line diary – please take it as such.
anon 4:55, my remarks were not directed at the content of tamaras blog. i enjoy her blog immensely. any topic she chooses to write about is ok with me; if it is a subject i am not interested in, i simply move on. i take issue with some of her commenters, and i always enjoyed tamara putting them in check. i also appreciate the fact that she does not simply line up the gossip from a bunch of other sites, and present it as her own. my sense is that even when she is discussing something that is being discussed all over the web, she attempts to put her own spin on it, or offer some new piece of the puzzle. of course, your mileage may vary, but this is what makes her blog interesting to mechitown shelley
The correct spelling is w-e-i-g-h-s. The context in which you used would be correct in a sentence like: "Teresa has some crazy, diabolical ways."
I also thought the Skype conversation between Jac and her ex was wierd. Her boobies all up in his face and Chris watching from afar like a stalker. Why didn't Chris get in the conversation? Could he have been @ work and not there @ all?-Bravo filling in the cracks with editting? KGT
Not all Berkeleys are equal. According to Teresa's bio on BravoTV.com she graduated from Berkeley College with a degree in Fashion Marketing and Management. In NY/NJ there is a Berkeley College that offers both a Bachelor's and Associate's Degree in Fashion Marketing and Management (berkeleycollege.edu). Their website is reminiscent of a DeVry-type of institute with their most popular programs being Criminal Justice and Fashion Marketing. Chances are that Teresa graduated from this Berkeley and not the Berkeley that is part of the University of California. Further support for this would be that UC Berkeley does not go by the name Berkeley College. That being said, I think that Teresa is smarter than she often comes across. I also think that she plays up the dingy-ness a bit on purpose since it appeals to people and makes people want to jump to her defense. My mom is a smart woman and does the same thing so I've witnessed it in action in my real life.I think that any degree that she has is great and that her having a real career before having kids is more than most other housewives. I think that it's likely that she has help writing her blogs some weeks, certainly not all weeks! This is apparent to me by the grammatical and stylistic differences week-to-week, especially when comparing how she wrote in Season 1 to some of her more recent blogs. Spell check and grammar check in Word will only catch so many things! I think that most people write better than they speak if they take the time to proof it. Even if she does have help with her blogs I'm certain that she, at a bare minimum, reads them and approves them before they are submitted. I just don't buy into her Fashion degree from Berkeley College (not sure if it's a Bachelor's or Associate's) being convincing evidence that she has no help. Frankly, I didn't care and thought it was a smart move until she made a big deal about it and started throwing out silly comments to disprove the skeptics. On Twitter she said that she couldn't have had help with her blogs because she was in Miami with Joe and it was just the two of them. In the same rant she mentioned spell check and grammar check. So apparently we're to believe that she has access to MS Word but not email. Logic like that, or rather, lack of logic like that, makes me SMH.Thanks for letting me vent! The degrees that I have are probably farthest away from anything having to do with writing, at times I use that as an excuse for having sucky grammar and loving commas and parentheses 🙂
Thank you MoxieVi–I could not have said it or written it better myself!
Hey to Anonymous 1:29 p.m. on June 19th I know I am late however I do have a degree in Secondary Education with a concentration in Biology. Hence the term Biology teacher. I do not like grammar and I definitely make mistakes while writing. I am typing fast and not re-reading at all. Its a blog not an assignment. I only mentioned my education bc I make mistakes with grammar and I definitely have a 'country' accent so I have sympathy for Teresa esp since English is her second language. Now to say Im not educated is so laughable I mean I could take a pic of my degree or show my schedule of classes for Graduate School but what is the point? Its kinda funny bc I just wrote a 9 page paper in 5 hours, an evaluation of the 6th grade ELA (english language arts) curriculum for my class Curriculum in Secondary School and received an A. So obviously I can write and speak well. When I made the comment about knowing my shit, that means I know my content, Biology very well and that is why my students do so well on standardized tests. Sooo enough about all of that. I don't care what people think in the sense that I don't lose sleep over it, I don't even know you people and you don't know me, so why really care. Reading blogs and debating issues is fun to me so I enjoy the back and forth esp when Im bored. So I think I have covered all of your erroneous comments.Now on to Moxie V. I do agree with you completely!! I know her degree is in Fashion but my point is to obtain ANY degree you must have some level of higher intelligence and be determined. No matter the major, of course some majors are more difficult such as Biology, LOL, or definitely Engineering but a degree is a degree most people do not have one. Thanks for explaining what I was saying bc it does prove my point exactly. Biology is my area NOT english however I must have some capability in the area I actually write better than I speak when I am trying. Oh and you see how Melissa admitted she did speak with Danielle and fed her info about Teresa and her family which caused the blow out at the Season 2 Reunion. SO my point is proven to me!! Melissa is sneaky and dirty and I don't think I could even forgive her for that period family or not. Love,Bio Teacher
A Bio Teacher, isn't that quaint. You know the expression: Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach. I have two Masters Degrees, therefore I must be twice as smart as you. Now shut the hell up about your education. Teresa went to Berkeley College in West Paterson, NJ. The college started out as a secretarial school and although they now give out Degrees they are considered a school for those who can't make it into regular colleges. Any twit can see that Teresa is no Einstein, but she is savvy, she knows how to sell herself to the public, regardless of who she hurts. IMO Teresa is no different than Casey Anthony psychologically. She is a narcissistic psychopath. She will do and say anything to obtain her goals. She screwed her creditors out of millions in order to finance her lifestyle, she nearly drove Danielle to a nervous breakdown in order to get her off the show so she,Teresa, could be the star. She lies, she cheats, she stabs her family & friends in the back in order to stay in the limelight. Teresa is a shining example of all that is wrong in our society today. Now go back to gym class or whatever you do at school.NJB
NJB are you serious?!! LOL you are sooo funny to me, hilarious! "Those who can't teach" what in the hell does that mean? Teaching is a very honorable profession. And I am ashamed that you would demean what I do in that way, and the millions of other teachers in this nation who help shape and mold the nation's children. I don't care that you don't like Teresa however to attack me is unwarranted. What are your two Master's Degrees in? Might I ask? And your silly comment that that somehow means you are smarter than me please. That shows your ignorance. I never said I was smarter than anyone if you read you would obviously see that I was ONLY speaking to individuals who think that bc of how Teresa speaks and behaves somehow means she is not intelligent. I disagree. And your joke about me going to the gym….is comical!! I hate working out, I am Biology Teacher, in fact I teach Biology I, Biology II, and Human ANatomy and Physiology. So think what you want nitwit. And if you think Teresa was the reason Danielle left the show you are sadly mistaken that was ALL because of Caroline and Jacqueline. Obviously you do not watch this show so your comments are not to be taken seriously at all.Bio Teacher
Oh and BOO a degree is a degree is a degree!! LOL no matter what it is. I have mad respect for anyone who goes the extra mile to obtain one. Simple. Stop hating.Bio Teacher
Well, I have half a degree and am a member of Mensa. Harmph!BioDouche posts like a petulant child.
Dear Bio Teacher,First thing, do not call me or anyone BOO, you're an adult.Secondly my 1st Master Degree is in Macro Economics, the 2nd is in Micro Economics. I received them from a legitimate school, NYU, not from Bio Degrees R Us. Last and most importantly, you take all of this nonsense far too seriously. It's a show and it used to be fun to watch. It seems very apparent that you display many of the psychological disorders that Teresa displays. I am sure there is a support group out there for you. NJB
But…but… according to bio parapro, all degrees are the same! Your Masters degrees from NYU don't make you any smarter than Teresa with he AA in Fashion! You are just not smart enough to understand anything and/or don't watch the show, otherwise your opinions would be the same as bio parapros!
Also, NJB, if you could describe some of your more arduous writing assignments and the grades they earned it would help me determine if you are smart enough to comment on a housewives blog. Thanks in advance.
Hello, Bio Teacher.I stand by my earlier post….you clearly cannot write well, as demonstrated by your own posts. …If you don't care about these readers, why do you work so hard to convince them that you're educated, even though you can't write or speak well? And "knowing your shit" is not an education. In my area of America, I have the privilege of knowing several older folks who did not have the opportunity to go to conventional school. Nevertheless, they are well-read and truly educated adults who can discuss philosophy, history, politics, science and religion. They're polite, gracious and delightful to be around. And they don't offer to show you their diplomas or explain why their education only shows when it's an assignment.Education is not defined by how many or what kind of degree a person owns, although earning a degree can (depending on the degree and granting institution) be a good indicator of determination and ability to perform to a set standard. I speak as one whose entire family has college degrees. I gather that your college achievements must be somewhat unique in your circle, so you are to be congratulated and encouraged to continue.However, referencing your most recent grade to substantiate your "education" is a middle-school behavior. And when your only responses to people who call you on your lack of logic are: 1) I don't even care about what anyone else thinks or 2) you're hilarious, you make me laugh – well, not much there to make anyone think differently.I don't wish to be personal with you, but you are the one who initiated the ad hominem comments with other commenters. ('ad homimen' refers to commenting on the person you're talking to, not the subject at hand, and is considered childish and not helpful to advancing understanding.)I would prefer to keep the discussion to the blog topic – I believe it's how full-on batshit crazy Teresa is – and I really don't want to talk about you, your education, your recent grades or how you don't care about what anyone thinks.
in response to Tamara's 6-27 2:40pm post: game, set,match!
I just wroted a 9-page reeport for werk twoday. I is hyghly edumacated too. I shud be a byoligy teecher.Teresa isn't intelligent or smart. I do think she's extremely lucky.I equate her to Nene. Both of them are extremely lucky to have a personality that 'stuck' with viewers and both are hard-working enough to make the most of it.I don't begrudge that.WD
First of all Tamara I already know you are a racist and apparently have an issue with me bc I pointed out that you let people say things such as "hang that nigger" on your blog. Secondly I never made an issue about my education. I was merely commenting on the people who said that Teresa is dumb just bc of how she speaks and that she had to have someone write her blog. SO I don't give a damn about your stupid sarcasm. Its not funny to me. I knew that making a comment on your biased blog would lead to this foolishness. You are the only blogger who even comments against readers of their blog anyway. And to the rest of the ignorant people on here. Believe what you want. I can give examples to prove my point and that is all I was doing. I am not however going to debate the issue of my intelligence bc I have no reason to. In fact I will send my degree to you Tamara just to shut your mouth up in the first place. Be careful who you challenge. At first you liked my comments now you are saying this?? of course its bc I called you out about letting racist comments stay on your blog.Thanks, Bio Teacher
And Anonymous at 3:07 Dont comment on my blogs then. if you only want to talk about Teresa. Damn its simple. Dont waste your time.Amber CollinsBIo Teacher
I didn't fully read your blog but really? I can't believe you even went there to say that my accomplishments are unique in my circle are you serious?! All of my friends are 26 or younger and we all have degrees. ALL of us ranging from Engineers, nurses, Speech Pathologists, Nurse Practitioners, Etc. And I come from a family of individuals who are also degreed. My mother is a Teacher with a Master's in Educational Leadership. My best friend has to Master's in Biology and Gifted Education. My Aunts all are teachers most of them with Master's as well. And hell my grandfather has a Doctorate Degree. You are so funny, I am an African American so I don't know if you think that I can not obtain a degree or is it simply because of what I have said on some blog?? Its funny that this blog is now about me. I mean you all must be very bored to argue with a person you don't know and to make comments that are completely incorrect and biased. Hell I don't know many people who are not degreed. And of course I don't think it is all about having a degree however I don't care what kind of degree you have obtaining one is an accomplishment. Simple. I don't see why you even want to argue with that since you have 2 Master's or whatever…… Bio teacherAmber
Oh there is clearly no need to debate your intelligence. I think we are all aware that you fall on the left half of the bell curve. The far left half. But stupidity alone is not the problem that I have with you. Stupid people post here all the time. My problem is that you are obsessed with coming here all day long telling my other comments that your stupid opinion is the only valid one and then discussing your education for three paragraphs as proof. As someone with many years of teaching experience and several degrees, (only one is in education, the others are more serious subjects than how to make an interactive bulletin board) and National Certification I recognize the fresh out of college new teacher attitude immediately. You know everything, you listen to nothing and you love to shout about how smart you are. Time will change that. Your naivete is amusing and fairly common.What is not so common is the level of crazy it takes to spend so much of your time sending me emails calling me a racist, complaining about other commenters language, and demanding apologies from me all while proclaiming that you do not pay for your Internet access to be exposed to such treatment. I knew when you threatened to leave my racist board forever and tell the world that I was…what did you say, oh yes. "whose than someone who has AIDS and knowingly infects their partners" that I had sadly not seen the last of you. You were off to tell the world how horrible I am. You decided to do this by posting the same spam in every thread on the first page. Which I deleted.And then you just showed right up commenting again mostly about how educated you are. Now you are wanting to send me your degree from Devry Institute or whatever fine institution you attended. And you would like my commenters to ignore you and not waste their time.I have said to you in email that perhaps you should start your own blog all about you and your opinions. Yet, you insist on making a fool of yourself here. I don't think it is my other commenters wasting their time. They are laughing at you. Your level of ignorance is astounding even for the Internet. So you do provide an delightful sideshow. So thanks for that. It's abundantly clear that you could fit your entire knowledge base inside a thimble and still have enough room for two raisins. If you live in NJ, perhaps you could spend some time with your idol Teresa. Oh and if it is not too late, you might want to reconsider reproducing. It would be abusive to saddle a child with your genetics. Yours in Christ,Tamara
Lastly in my Original blog post I made one small comment at the VERY end of my post about people saying Teresa was dumb and I used myself as an example because I am from the south and people generally make fun of southerners because of their dialect. THen I used some examples to explain that even though I make grammar mistakes coupled with my accent does not mean I am not intelligent since I have a degree and am working on a Master's. You all made this blog about me, I certainly did not. Idk why I am being attacked or why people have an issue with what Im saying if you don't like it so what?! I am only on here bc I don't feel like studying for my Final and I am bored since Im pregnant and my daughter is home visiting with my mother for the week. But I am a little taken aback by things people will say when they can hide behind a computer.
Tamara you know damn well I received my degree from Southern University an HBCU which in located in Louisiana. You all made this blog about me NOT ME! Most of what you said could have been said in an email since I sent you one however you want people to read your comments and side with you because obviously you have no friends in your real life. And you taught for how Long? Real you are a Nationally Certified Teacher in what area, why don't you send me a copy of your certificate which would indicate that. Yes you TAMARA allowed someone to call black people niggers and say that we should be hanged. You did that. My original comment was not about me it was about Teresa and me stating the facts that I knew about the situation which is what people do on your blog all of the time. Like I said you NEVER had an issue with me until I called you out for saying you were moderating your comments and yet you did not moderate that comment. You said you allow people to say and write whatever they want. Do you think that I really care about 5 or 6 people on the damn internet. Yes I just obtained my degree 2 years, yes I am 26 years old but what does that have to do with anything? YOur friends on this blog took my comments and made them negative and then challenged my intelligence. So I answered. Simple. And me asking for an apology YES I THINK IF SOMEONE WHO READS MY BLOG WAS OFFENDED THAT I ALLOWED SOMEONE ELSE TO SAY HANG THAT NIGGER then of course I would have APOLOGIZED!!! Who in the Hell wouldn't unless it was someone who truly believes black people are in fact niggers. Its funny that I have commanded so much attention from you and your followers. Lastly I wish I could out you as a racist or atleast prejudice against black people however what is the point? You will still continue to be you. And then to call me stupid really? Like your opinion about me even matters you are a silly girl with a blog about reality TV. IF you have so many degrees go get a damn job and do that instead of wasting your valuable time researching what is essentially bullshit on the internet. You know what Tamara you are a loser I see you do this to commenters all of the time because you apparently have no life. At least I say Im bored you do this for what, a living??? YOu are a joke and rude. Do I think my opinion is the only opinion that matters of course not, But why can't I state mine? Everyone else does. Amber
Oh my. I haven't seen someone so worked up on the internetz in a while. Very entertaining. Thanks, Tamara, for taking one for the team. Oh, and Bio Teacher, I have a very southern accent and a very country sounding one at that. It has no bearing on the way I type words on the internet since no one hears it. Jes sayin
Pam I already said I type fast and that I don't re-read what I am typing. Really bc I make some typos on a blog I am not intelligent? Thats it, this defines who I am to you all really? I don't know you Pam I wouldn't dare call you stupid, ignorant, childish, foolish, or any adjective. Why even say any comments on this issue? I see you have no issue with the main problem which is the racist comment that was made. Its crazy how people on the internet think.When I made my first comment it was really just a joke and it was fun to argue about my pov of Teresa and the show. I honestly don't know how it all became about me. I even went and re-read the comments to see if I started this or if it is warranted but it is not. Amber
Oh an Pam you spelled Just "jes" so now are you dumb and stupid and only capable of obtaining a degree from faux university or school….? Really I don't make judgements about people i don't know usually. But I guess thats normal on the internet. But hey I read the comments on CNN and Yahoo and they are much worse. So the internet is full of hate and ignorance.
You have NO idea how I feel about racism and racist comments since I choose not to discuss it. But thank you for playing. I also typed sayin. If I had followed it with colloq. would you have understood? Or do I need to define a colloquialism for you?
"So the internet (sic) is full of hate and ignorance."/nods knowinglyThanks for sending me your degree and your "nine page paper". I understand now why you think all degrees are the same. The school you attended has an open door policy. Which is good, because it's an agricultural and mechanical college. Everyone deserves a shot at literacy. Your paper. which is oddly spaced and has both a cover page and an endnotes page, has a subject verb agreement error in the very first sentence. I suspect your instructor failed to attempt to muddle through after that. Do you perhaps sit on the front row and wear short skirts with no panties? I am searching for an explanation as to how this is an "A paper" at any institution of higher learning. Is your prof the baby daddy by chance?
I don't think it's your typos that make you appear unintelligent, Amber. It's just everything else about you. Your arguments are beyond ridiculous, and not to be taken seriously when delivered in a manic blaze of frantic, disjointed, bursts of thought.So thanks for the entertainment!
I honestly don't believe there is anything I can say to you that will make you go away. I was very polite in suggesting you fuck off in my email response to your numerous emails about leaving this blog forever a week or so ago. So since you are here, the educator in me wants to teach you a simple 9th grade English trick for subject verb agreement. Ready? Here we go. "The Common Core State Standards for 10th grade ELA has numerous standards that are considered to be additions to the state comprehensive curriculum." First identify the subject. The subject of the sentence is 'Standards' the rest of the surrounding words are mostly adjectives. Because Standards is a plural noun it can be replaced with the word 'they'. Were it a singular noun it should be replaced with the word it. (You refer to 'standards' as 'it' throughout your paper causing many more S/V agreement errors. But I'm only going to help you with the one sentence. Now you only have to ask yourself which is correct They has? or They have? Hint: The correct answer is they have. If you try to master basic verb conjugation you will eliminate the dozens of S/V agreement issues in your paper. Then for extra credit you might learn how commas are used. Or not, it appears literacy is not part of the grade at your current instituion. This concludes my free tutorial. You may thank me now.
Also, I presume your silience about the baby daddy being your prof means I am correct. I think you two are made for each other and should marry soon. You both being so well educated and all.
Man this is better than any of the Real Housewives' shows. We have a single mother, racism, screaming,bloated egos and everyone seems to have a dozen degrees. I can't wait for the next episode. NJB
Verbs is hard.
tamara, what the hell?? you have been back like,what, ten minutes, and yet all hell has broken loose!!do we now have to state our degrees, and state or national certifications to comment on this blog? just where are the damn rules, please, cause i cant keep up. but i freely admit i am old and easily bored, so when i see some long, disjointed, scattered post, i either skim it or skip it altogether, so i might have missed some things. lol. you have one of the most varied group of commenters i have ever seen. hysterical! i do hope youre not going away on vacation again anytime soon!!!chitown shelley
chitown shelley,I believe the standard has been set that you must fill my in box with pictures of your diploma and copies of your most recent homework. Apologies for listing my educational background I just had to drop the hammer. lol. A recent A&M grad explaining the educational system was becoming tiresome over so many threads.
Damn, now I have to post my degrees? Well, there is the Masters in Life from the School of Hard Knocks. The Phd in raising hard headed kids in a blended family from the school of No, You Can't Get Divorced Just Because You Became a Step Parent, and lastly, the double Phd in Death of Spouses from the Angel of Death Academy (that is the Ivy League One). Yep, my degrees trump your degrees, Amber. (I can't believe I am so bored to have posted the above. Heading back to the message boards)
dear tamara – this blog has now become too much work. i am going over to tmz or the like, where all i have to do is make up a funny screen name. i have too many degrees and titles and stuff, and too short an attention span. and unfortunately, my grandpappy was just a pullman porter, so i am afraid i might not measure up. i will miss all of you!!!chitown shelley
oh noes! chitown shelley! I think Amber Collins, Bio Teacher has moved on to TMZ and the like and we can now carry on talking about less intellectual things! Of course she promised to do that a week ago. But one can only hope she puts both brain cells together for her finals this week and keeps her word for a few days. Don't give up all hope!Now if only something blogworthy would happen. I am still on island time and not much into posting. :)xoxo
… and those who can't teach, preach on reality television blogs.I am quite concerned about how our chirrun's minds are being molded by people who run around with their skirts rippling in the breeze round their pointy little heads. Please tell me that Bio Teacher person doesn't have tenure.HB
this is one ugly thread. yuck!
Don't be hate'n on Bio Teacher,she majored in a subject that didn't require writing for a reason. (I assume, only judging by why I majored in the sciences.)What is Grandpa's doctorate in?
bio teacher said that she's only 26. it's disappointing to see you old hags coming after this young lady like that! grrr!!!
I am not a college graduate.. I think Teresa is a narcissitic Diva..and I kind of love her for it..My husband, who is a college graduate thinks Teresa is bat shit crazy and that I am bat shit crazy for loving these damn shows.. what? I thought we were voting?..Sweetnessnbubba
Anonymous 12:52pm -Calling people you don't know "old hags"? Easy to see why you feel for the "young lady". 26 is old enough to have some manners. 26 is old enough to realize that repeating, "I don't care about what anyone else says" is liable to get a response of, "I don't care what you say" in return. Repeatedly referencing her own education as validation of her own intelligence, without demonstrating respect for anyone else's intelligence – well, that was going to get Ms. Collins a little reaction. And her response was to pull the race card. My Internet connection doesn't indicate gender, age or ethnicity. My BS meter doesn't need to. I respect your right to have sympathy for the 26-year-old-mother-with-one-on-the-way-working-through-her-Masters. I reserve my respect for people who, regardless of their degrees, don't act like a mannerless fool.
anon 12:52, i disagree. anon 3:06, i agree with everything you said. no matter ones age, i do not respond well to rudeness or arrogance. even tho i might be tempted to ignore ones ignorance, i rarely ignore ones bad behavior towards another. all things considered, i think the young lady in question got off lightly. many things that could have been said to her, were not. she brought it so she had to have been prepared to have it thrown right back. now maybe we can all take a deep breath and get back to the foolishness that we originally signed up for!chitown shelley
BTW anyone notice Teresa has a, Planet of The Apes hairline. Just sayin. NJB
WOW! just WOW! This is waayyy better than ANY Housewives show, Bad girls club, and Rock of Luv, combined. Tamara girl you are no damn joke, and that's for sure.Hell, with this kind of entertainment, I could cancel my cable subscription and save a bundle! oh, and what's so gaggingly ( to all you degreeg folk,I know it's not a real word) funny, is that she came for you first. LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLLEE!Tamara, you know that was not a fair fight at all.it was like someone picking on a person with special needs (totally unfair)Today's lesson was brought to you by the letter "T" for Tamara! #BePreparedWhenYouComeForMizzTamara
I said that I would not return to this blog and that I would not engage in this petty argument any longer however after calming down and analyzing the situation I wondered where did this go wrong and I have several answers to that question. In my initial comment on this blog had a very small section that stated."Also Teresa should be capable of writing her blogs. SHe has a damn degree from Berkley. I have a degree and I am working on my Master's just last week I received an A on a paper I wrote in 5 hours, 9 pages. NOt many people in my class who are much more experienced than me received an A so that speaks volumes plus Im young as hell. However I speak horribly in my daily life. I am from the country and I use slang and my accent is truly SOuthern…Im sure you would call me dumb too. HAHA but Im highly intelligent:)"At the very end of this comment I made some statements in reference to the numerous comment questioning whether or not Teresa could have written her own blogs being that she has issues with articulating her thoughts on the show. I was merely defending her by using myself as an example. I honestly thought it was just a joke being that the issue we are discussing is not a serious issue which would cause for great debate such as politics, religion, abortion, or gay marriage for instance. I was immediately challenged as to MY own intelligence or education and I believe this is where the argument got off track and I began to take the attacks against me personal and I wanted to defend myself. SO I did. My intentions never were to make this blog about me however others, for their own amusement I presume, decided to make this blog about me. So I thought about why? I can only assume it had to initially do with the fact that my opinion was in the minority and that most people on this blog are against Teresa so their opinions about anyone who favors her or defends her is to call them names and to attack them since those people do not agree with the majority. Next someone made a comment about me saying"@Anon at 8:50 I don't know you, nor do I care what your opinion is. I was merely stating mine." This means exactly what it says, the person made numerous comments about me and not having to research and to go on about their opinion and I made this comment to make the point that this is a blog about a mundane topic and I have no vested interest in anyone's opinion. Simply put at this point I was not affected about what anyone said that differed from my opinion because I do not know anyone on this blog personally and no one here knows me, so why truly care about someone's opinion to the point where I would have a heart attack which is what this person stated. I am not arrogant at all, I stated numerous times that my point was that Teresa has a degree so insulting her by calling her stupid to me in unwarranted being that she does have an education which obviously means she is not stupid. I also stated that even though she did not attend an ivy league college and her degree is in Fashion that to me should not matter because I have the up most respect for anyone who obtains a degree and to me this means that these people should not be called stupid obviously they went the extra mile and have dedication to make themselves more marketable to enhance not only their lives but possibly the lives of their children. All degrees are great achievements and require some level of intelligence and hard work. That was my point in those statements.
Next I would like to address the person who said that I must be one of few people I know with a degree since I am so proud of it. Yes initially I became defensive and I wanted to prove that I in fact am educated since for whatever reason that was being challenged, however I am definitely proud of my degree. Not for the reasons stated but since I have a had a very difficult life and to me graduating from college was one of the greatest accomplishments I have made in my life. I was raped at 14 years old, I tried to commit suicide twice after this event I did not think I would make it to see 20 years old and in fact I prayed every night to die. I became pregnant at 16 years old and although this was a major obstacle in my life I was determined not to become a statistic. I graduated from high school at 17 years old at the top of my class, this in itself was a major accomplishment because there were so many girls who dropped out. Upon my graduation from high school I entered college as a single mother who was also a teenager. College was very difficult for me, not because of my intelligence but more so because I was on my own with a young child. But even in the midst of all of that I still earned by degree. I choose to teach because I love children as well as I believe I could make a difference in the education system. I know that most children I teach have backgrounds similar to mine, coming from a low income home with a single parent, that I can reach them and show them gaining an education is the only way to make it out of the situation they are in. I am very proud of my degree and what I do. I am a new teacher but I am a determined teacher and I am so proud when I see my students walk across the stage or even when I see them entering college. I do a service to my community and I would not have it any other way. Currently I am in graduate school to further my education so that I can be a more effective educator. I am doing this so that I can provide even more for my daughter and future son and show them that no matter what your obstacles are you can achieve your goals. I only brought up the paper I wrote to show that yes even though a person might not speak in a manner that others approve of (since I do have a southern accent) they does not negate the fact that they can write well. I sent the paper to Tamara again in a futile attempt to prove myself. I have read her comments about the paper and she stated that there are some grammatical errors, well my professor Dr. Rieck did not mention those errors so I honestly do not understand her issue with that I still earned an A on the paper and a B in the course so that is all that matters to me. She also made comments about the format of the paper, well she said she is a National Board Certified Teacher so she should know the paper was written in APA format. So that should answer her questions concerning the format of the paper. No my professor is not my child's father. My daughters father although he was somewhat of a "dead beat dad" is an engineer and only 25 so obviously he was not my professor.
Lastly I would like to address Tamara. When I first started reading her blog and commenting on it it was completely fun and a place to vent my frustrations about any number of topics. At times Tamara seems to attack any person who does not agree with her and say such horrible things to them although she does not know these people and will never meet them in any walk of life. I disagreed with this practice I stated this to her in one of the other blogs. I think it is completely unwarranted to call any one names especially stupid and to berate and attack them is silly to me since you do not know the person and its just a blog on the internet about reality television. Tamara made many comments to me that were niceOkay am I the only one that is really starting to like Bio Teacher? Sure I don't agree with most of what she says, but still. That was a respectable rant. I think it was the "lick my clit!" part that put it over the top for me. BRAVO! And Bio Teacher. I am not being sarcastic. It was a lovely rant. I love a good rant. Well done!I missed you before you left, babe. But don't run off Bio Teacher. She's my new favorite commenter! :)Oh and Bio Teacher, I can only imagine the reaction if you had actually watched The View interviews. You should try to catch them and see what they did to Tre!Happy Birthday, Bio Teacher! Love your passionate comments! I think Sherri does watch the shows when she has time. She and Elisabeth do a reality recap often and she seems to have a feel for the storylines. I used to dislike Sherri for all the reasons you do, but I sort of fell in love with her on twitter. :) Have a great day. Sometimes as we get older, we just want to surf the net and relax on our B-Days. I know I do. :)So to me it was all fun and I was enjoying commenting and disagreeing with people and having silly arguments about nothing, it became a fun past-time. However I read a comment written by someone in another blog who made a very offensive and disrespectful comment "Hang that nigger" I expected to see Tamara jump all over that person and to make fun of him for being ignorant since this is something she does on a regular basis. But I saw nothing, she did not even mention it she said nothing to him, no attack nothing. I was not only offended by this person but also by Tamara since this was after she stated she would moderate her comments. I immediately emailed her a nasty and probably inappropriate statement concerning this incident. So of course we went back and forth and apparently everything changed. As you can clearly see by reading her comments on this blog. I just find it odd that she attacks people for not agreeing with her about RHOA or RHONJ or any other entertainment issue but she said nothing to a person who made such an offensive and racist comment. She clearly had no issue with calling me names or making fun of me so I "assumed" that she agreed with this person, hopefully I am wrong. Finally I will say that I was offended by the comments in this blog and I told myself I would not read it again because most of it was hurtful however I could not help myself apparently. I try my best not to judge people and to respect everyone's opinion not to make fun of anyone just because they do not agree with me. These comments became out of control and very personal and I apologize for saying anything that was hurtful or offensive. I do not know if Tamara will allow my comments but I have already apologized to her in an email and yet she continued to attack me here on her blog. I realize now that I had no reason to be upset about anything said here because I know who I am and I am proud of that. And most importantly I learned I have nothing to prove to anyone especially people on the internet. Bio Teacher
bio teacher your apology is not enough.. tamara will continue to hurl insults to get more hits to her site. please retweet!
Bio Teacher is in fact GREAT for ratings. LOL. Please do retweet. I do every time she posts. My favorite post from her began with "Andy Cohen was WRONG " as she went on to explain the timeline that things happened. And the rant about licking a cunt. That was good too. Okay it's pretty much all comedy gold.
Wait to be fair, it might have been a "lick my clit" comment. I don't think she would say cunt. She is very sensey about language. She likes to email me the words that offend her that other commenters say so that I can apologize. I could not purchase this sort of amusement.
