I feel bad for even watching this shit. Housewives often chat in the kitchen with their friends in full makeup… give me a break Andy Cohen. This is manufactured shit. All the things people accuse TLC of doing with “Honey Boo Boo?” You are doing with these people. Only the Honey Boo Boo family is playing the reality TV people, not the other way around. They really could have been a docuseries. And for some episodes it comes close anyway. Because June is fucking with the whole crew. “Look at me FART!” oh my! I am fat and ugly! Here is where to send my check…June wins. This is ridiculous. These people are trying to lure people into buying iTunes songs and zit cream and whatever Fabellini is… It’s a farce. It’s hysterical. It’s selling out your kids.. T hey are playing with the knobs on the stove as the crew zooms in. The point is Teresa needs a nose job. This whole show is a mess. And there are way too many fans who think Teresa Giudice is a good role model. They are all sorts of fucked up people in the world and they bring us ratings. It’s pandering to the lowest common intellectual denominator and it brings money.
Keep me updated in comments. I am off to bed.
Funniest shit ever to hear the crickets during caro and companies debut on Sirus. They won’t be a regular like the clown hoped.
I see it and I like you are amazed that make up can do so much for her. Or maybe she’s just going to look like her mom or dad from now on ( her parents look alike to me. Maybe they’re related, that would explain the reason Theresa and her brother act as if they’re delayed)
I don’t want to see a lot of real Teresa sweating in her makeup-free world. Don’t get me wrong..it’s fun to see what makeup and lighting can do now and again (even we could look fabalicious). But if I want real, I’ll go across the street to my neighbor’s and hang around for 60 minutes.
sorry if i am going off topic, but i also watched wwhl with andy and teresa and perez hilton. and of course andy brought up the joe phone call, via viewers want to know…and in her meandering non answer, teresa says both that she called joe the d word, which andy had to decipher as being dick, and that joe made up for it with diamonds, cause diamonds are a girls best friend, right? my question is, where did joe get the money for diamonds? arent they still battling bankruptcies, foreclosures, lawsuits, whatever? how is he spending money on diamonds? could they not be seized to satisfy debts? isnt it stupid to go on tv and talk about the fact that he is still spending money on jewelry? sorry, but i kind of got fixated on this, and the fact that teresa made catty comments about caros family having lap band surgery. she made a big deal about only liking things that were natural, as she sat there with fake boobs, hair extensions, false eyelashes, etc. rant over. thank god the finale starts next sunday.
I caught the remark about the diamonds, too. And even though I keep promising myself I’ll never say it again, I blurted out “BOY, are you stupid!” before I could even stop myself.
Chitown Shelly, I follow RHONJ pretty regularly and I can tell you that Teresa stated in one of her blogs from earlier this season that they have sold almost all of their buildings, which was a large part of their debt and they were paying off their other creditors. She also has said that they are in the process of having the bankruptcy dropped, but it had not been granted by a judge at that point. So no, the diamonds would not be seized; they were purchased AFTER the bankruptcy filing.
Also please lets be fair here, while Lauren is NOT a housewife, she never misses the opportunity to bash Teresa on Twitter, as well as on the show (along with Ashlee Holmes- Jacqueline’s worthless daughter). I agree with Teresa. I do think that Lauren is sending a bad message with the LapBand surgery. First, Lauren stated plenty of times that she just wanted to be skinny, and that being skinny would make her happy (there are plenty of skinny people who are unhappy). Second, to me they never showed Lauren really trying to loose weight. It was all BS about dieting. I’ve done the weight loss thing from having babies, and I know personaly that it is hard work that cannot be achieved with one day of dieting and weeks of sitting on your ass trashing people. You’ve got to burn more than you take in (and if you’re taking in a large amounf of sugar and sodium- its impossible). Also when Lauren initally lost the weight she credited to “hard work and diet.” If the LapBand was so adminirable, why didn’t she just admit that she had no will power and decided to do it the easy way? Her father got busted in the same LIE (why not learn from his mistake)? Also while the comment was a bit catty, so what? It’s not like the Manzo’s don’t do the same thing to her every week. Why is she sentitive about it any way, she afterall put it out there.
I think that Teresa does not get a fair shake particularly from Tamara. While you go on and on about Teresa’s blog and poor behavior you seem to overlook Jacqueline’s. I don’t know if it’s because youre a Jacqueline fan, or because you’re just that uninformed. But Jacqueline spent the first months of the season bashing Teresa and her kids pretty heavy on twitter and in her blogs. All of these blogs are still available on Bravo and can still be viewed. No one could understand why Jacqueline was so upset with Teresa, it seemed to me like a relationship gone wrong; Jacqueline seemed more like a stalker, or former lover, than a former friend. Also, not sure if any of you workout, but NOBODY (at least those of us who regularly exercise) exercise in make up; its horrible for the skin. Granted, Teresa is not pretty without her makeup she does appear to have the sun in her face. I don’t think that anyone on her cast looks an ounce better. Especially not Caroline or any of the Manzos.
Also it should be noted that Bravo shot the fashion show BEFORE Teresa’s Fabilini event. So the BS about Jacqueline not understand why she had no invite and Melissa pretending to be babysitting two of Teresa’s four kids (why didn’t she have the youngest one?) is all BS editing on the part of Bravo. I too am glad that this season is over. It’s clear that Teresa does not get a good edit. If it’s a reality show, then the producers should at least show in the order that it was shot. Don’t try to play with perception. Also for Caroline to win a poll on WWHL live is wrong. On every single blog that I visit no one ever sides with Caroline. The same is true for Bravo message boards. I don’t get that one.
andrea, thanks for the info on teresas financial situation, but it doesnt really alter my opinion of what she said. if they are diligently working to become financially solvent again, why is he buyng more diamonds? isnt ridiculous and frivolous spending part of the reason they ended up in such a financial mess in the first place? part of the reason why i am anti tre is that she appears to be unable/unwilling to learn from her mistakes; i like growth in people. the bigger part of why i have no love for her, is that she is completely dishonest, and unwilling to accept responsibility for her own behavior and mistakes. just own it girl! good, bad or indifferent, just own it!! no equivocating, no justifying, no downplaying, no just joking, just own it. and lets be clear, im not wild about any of the other howives either, but this is what i dislike about teresa. and oh, a super huge pet peeve, people who think they can only be friends with people who agree with everything they say and do; how boring is that??
The thing is… What a waste of time RHONJ was… I’m still dying to know what happened between Caroline and Dina, and… I don’t think Dina is that close to Tre because she acted so surprise about the new gossip, anyway… Forget the make up while talking in the kitchen… How about the supposedly food they make that looks more like a catering thing that Bravo bought to bring there so they can talk or rehearse their lines, while in the kitchen, whatever. Have a good day, Tam readers!
I agree that this is the worst show on television for many, many reasons. It exploits children, violence, stupidity, innocent children. Destroys families and marriages. And it is essentially an infomercial for crap products that the cast members are hocking. Everyone who agrees to do this show is a shallow classless idiot willing to sell their privacy, family and dignity for 15 minutes of D-list fame.
So here is the question. WHY DO I WANT TO WATCH EVERY EPISODE AND THEN READ BLOGS LIKE THIS ABOUT IT?
Seriously, someone help explain this to me. I’m a highly educated professional from a good family. I have a happy family of my own. I would NEVER act like any of these people. So Why was I up until 11:30 last night watching this mindless crap that makes me fear for the future of humanity (and those poor little girls being taught to bump and grind and stick their butts out for the camera?)!!? What is wrong with me and the rest of America who is watching this stuff? And Jersey Shore for that matter!?
EB, I ask myself this question all the time. I did try to break up with Andy Cohen once.
http://s17948.p858.sites.pressdns.com/2012/01/18/a-love-letter-to-andy-cohen/
It didn’t take.
preach eb, preach!! when you get a good answer, please let me know, too. my only defense is that i have grown because i wont add any new howives, or howives-like shows to my must-watch list.
The Manzo kids and Ashlee Holmes were all frigging nuts on twitter last night. Albie passive aggressively bashed Dina. Lauren and Ashlee were just throwing insults like crazy people. And all the twitter crazies were eating it up and slinging it back.
It occurred to me: I would never subject my kids to the kind of hate that Caroline’s family is subjected to. On the other hand, if my children acted like that, I’d disown them. But it seems to work for them I guess. ::raises a glass of squid ink water :: Salute!
What is, interesting nobody hears T comments about Danielle and how she now likes her…hoarding is dint feeling about this when she knows very well bout her and the forged signature argument, then for her to excuse Joe ( big juicy) comments Andy should have asked well why would he call you that to his friends or employees?? T please get a brain .
Can anyone translate this to English?

Your phone?
Seriously laughing my ass off right now. Out loud and stuff.
I still don’t understand the “hoarding is dint feeling” part – sorry…
I think I understand. No one is talking about Teresa’s comment about liking Danielle. We all know how Dina feels about Danielle and what she did to her. Just wondering what Dina thinks about Teresa now supporting Danielle now that it suits her to say she does.
I may be remembering it wrong. But I took what she said as “I’d rather be around Danielle than these women because at least you know where you stand”. Not really that she likes Danielle. Remember: while we got to see the women talking about Teresa to each other and the confessionals the whole season and last season, Teresa had seen NONE of that and had no clue how naty things were. They filmed he seasons back to back.
And if theoretically she is friends with two people who are not, so what? I know I am in my life. Isn’t that a big complaint they all had about her? They said she didn’t want the Manitas to be friends with the Gorkelies. Because she said they had to take a side. I guess this proves them wrong.
I get exactly what your saying Tamara. I happened across some old episodes of RHONJ and HOLY SHIT they look nothing like that anymore! Its lost all (if it ever had any) relatability. Its a damn scripted show now, the freaking full on hair and make-up around the clock! How confusing for the husbands to see their wives decked to the 9’s for months on end only to have to look at their regular faces at the end of the season. I am SO ready for someone to come out with Real Housewives of so and so trailer park, Real Housewives of Compton. Now that shit would be entertaining as hell!
Has anyone ever wondered if Teresa cheated on joe? The middle child (who she never talks about) looks like she has a different father.
Gabriella an audriana look like joe. And Gia and milania look like Teresa.
I’m hearing from reliable sources that Teresa’s launch party was filmed two weeks AFTER both the fashion show and the reunion, which has led me to the conclusion that Bravo needed to have it appear that Dina and Teresa were a lot closer than they actually were prior to the fashion show. Why, I don’t know.
I’ve also read that Dina has tweeted that the things she was saying to Teresa were twisted to make it seem that she was speaking of her own family when she was, in fact, speaking of Teresa’s, which would support this.
My big question though is, did Dina have any clue about Teresa’s involvement in what had transpired at both the fashion show and reunion just a few weeks prior to this event? I’m starting to think she didn’t, and that Teresa and Bravo might have roped her into this for storyline purposes. I think she also stated that she wasn’t even aware that she would be mic’ed for the event.
Seriously wondering what the hell is going on here.
Also, how can Dina claim not to have read the book? What exactly did Teresa talk to her about when she purportedly drove tearfully through the night to Dina’s house, supposedly to vent about what Caroline had said to her about, among other things, THE BOOK?
What transpired that would affect Dina? Also, Teresa said she had been at Dina’s the night Jacqu and Caro ambushed her on the deck. She was upset and stopped at Dina’s as she drove home.
What transpired, or so I’ve HEARD, is that Teresa’s head is going to so irrevocably explode at the fashion show that it’s going to ruin her reputation and permanently alienate all of her friends and family.
And I was wrong about the book; Dina DID say she read it. What confused me was her pretending not to know about Teresa’s complaints about Caroline’s reaction to it, when that subject HAD to have come up the night Caroline DID NOT (!) ambush Teresa.
