Five minutes in and I am already laughing at Tre. She’s trying to teach her kids Italian even though she only knows about a dozen words. Or as she says “I speak dialect, not the real thing.” Then she explains that Joe speaks it better than she does. So Bravo shows her trying to help Joe pronounce the words. Joe knows how to say “How much is it?” in many languages though. In even better Bravo editing news, Kim D shows up to invite Tre to the posche Fashion Show and her response is “Oh! I love that show! It’s so much fun!” and then Bravo plays an extensive black and white flashback of all the hair pulling and cat fighting that is synonymous with the fashion show. Of course Tre loves it! Everything is perfect and wonderful in the land of Tre.
Then lots of boring stuff happens so I start googling how to keep there from being so much space under pictures in WordPress. I never did figure it out. There are so many irritating things about WordPress. Then I notice that Tre is getting her makeup done with the guy that will soon claim that Melissa was a dancer at his fine establishment. Tre very politely asks him to stop and sends him away and he apologizes and leaves. Not like that scene was shot after the big brawl to come or anything. We know Bravo would never do that. Teresa just doesn’t want to talk about her family though. Angelo comes back with ice to apologize again and Tre leaves. Totally not filmed after the fact.
I checked my archives because I was sure I had blogged about this whole “Melissa was a stripper” thing before. I didn’t find a post. It must have happened before I branched out from only posting about Atlanta. The short version is that Melissa was a bartender at a strip club or a bikini bar (depending on who is telling the story) called Lookers for a few months. I’m not sure why this would be such a big deal. I guess we will have to tune in next week to see how this becomes the end of Teresa’s relationship with everyone.
tam let me say you missed some of the funniest howives ever, if you did not stick with this one to the end. so many awful, hysterical moments: tre talking about doing her own hair and makeup so she would not look weird, and then bravo shows a shot of her in the mad max getup; richie proving once and for all that he is even an embarassment to his wife ;lauren and her mother having a pitiful bonding moment; the disaster of the manzo brunch at the boys apartment; poor jaq slowly swinging back and forth with her son, all alone at tres house – i could go on and on. the whole stripper confrontation really pales in comparison to all the other stuff that was going on. big fun, tam. big fun!
I had it on. I just found it boring overall. The whole “I might look weird” followed by rearranging her um…ensemble was funny. And Caroline lost me on the whole from the ground up thing considering Lauren is all like, “I had a grand opening and didn’t show up the next day” I missed the whole Jaq on the swing thing. I was bored.
Not to be mean here – but have to say – Caroline always talks about her kids making it on their own. Yet a few weeks back (either on the RV or at a stop somewhere) Daddy Albert made a comment about the boys selling blk. He made some type of comment about it being a good way for the boys to get their start. Then he says something like “it’s a good deal, heck I invested as well”. Now – we’re here watching Caroline getting the lease on the store space for Lauren, talking about making improvements to the space….is it just me, or does it seem that the parents aren’t really holding their children to a higher standard, to be achieved on their own????
Every time Bravo hypes something up, nothing ever comes of it. All I learned this episode was that Kim D. AND BRAVO are master manipulators. That scene when the guy confronted Melissa looked about as fake as the weave in Kim Kardashian’s head. Teresa had absolutely nothing to do with the “set up”, and it really wouldn’t be a “set up” if Melissa really didn’t have anything to hide.
totally agree w/ you
Tamara, try WordPress.org, where you can ask the community for help under “How To” 😉
Hold the shift key down and then hit return…it makes it single space….
Thanks!
The salon scene was shot AFTER the brawl at the fashion show? Really? If that’s true, that changes my opinion of EVERYTHING that happened tonight.
I dont’ think it could have been. In the coming attractions Teresa admits she saw him earlier in the day at Allure. If they filmed this scene after – it would have been a total re-write.
I don’t think that scene was shot afterwards either because why was Tre hyperventilating when she saw him come up to the table and speak with Melissa? She wouldn’t have known WHO he was or what he was talking about. She was clearly freaking out because had that previous meeting with him at the salon (or wherever they were). It clearly looks like Tre was set up to look like the bad guy on this one. Also, Jaq swinging on the swing with her kid while Tre was trying to entertain and have a nice day was strange. Then Jaq goes into diary and comments that Tre is acting strange and she doesn’t feel she’s sincere. Huh? Set aside the alcoholic beverages for a moment and get a clear head before speaking next time.
They have these things called “reshoots” where they go shoot the entire scene again afterward and change the reactions. It happens on every reality show. They have to go back and change something to fit the storyline.
Spreading ridiculous rumors about “reshoots” does nothing for your credibility. While your current blog makes it quite clear your can’t stand Teresa, it also strains believability!
Or maybe that doesn’t matter!
Tre does not offend me as much as Lauren Manzo, can that girl just grow up and stop acting like a spoiled child, always whining about how successful her brothers and the attention they get and her weight. I recall her getting on Ashley’s case about not getting her design done (for tshirt) for the opening of her store that lasted not even one day, now Lauren has her mommy holding her hand again on another doomed venture. Seems to me that Ashley is growing up and doing great while Lauren is still very immature and needy.
mommy holding het hand on aef venture. myLaur had to hold her hand to get
Ashley is doing great? She left the gas on for three days and giggles about it. Could have killed people. Wasted a chunk of money. And she is spending her money she makes on tats. While her parents are obviously funding her apartment. Chris is basically paying to keep her as far away from him and hs kids as possible. But yeah…you’re right. Doing great …
Wait a minute..hold on..i remember it there was a season–two or three? where Tre and company went to Italy to visit her family and hubby Joe’s family and they were clearly speaking italian fluently..in fact, Caroline and family could not keep up because they dont speak the language so Tre had to translate..also there was an episode of that same season in Tre’s backyard or garage where they were canning tomatoes or making their own sauce or something and tre’s parents were talking to her (again) in Italian and she was talking about some female tradition in her family…cant remember bc this was a few seasons ago and i truly have not watched it since…but i feel like this “i dont speak much italian” thing is bs. I havent watched an episode or season in a long time but I was a big fan back in the day and do remember these episodes. Anyway, i have to say I hate the direction of the show anyway…its a hot mess. I really like to first season and maybe the second. I understood the Danielle hate (have you read her book???) but Tre? it just built up nonsense..and caroline and Manzos boosting themselves up as the best characters in the show does not wash with you..
She didn’t say she doesn’t speak much Italian. She speaks a dialect. Most Italians do. Italy was a bunch of small countries until about 150 years ago. No official language. One village over might have a completely different word for the same thing. So when she and joe are looking at a book that was meant to teach the kids, they did not recognize certain words. This is perfectly normal.
sorry typing too fast.. to clarify i meant i liked the first two seasons..and .i meant Manzo stuff does not wash with me, not you..lol
Jacqueline implies on WWHL that she stil thinks Teresa was the mastermind behind it all. I think that gives her too much credit. And at that point, what good does it do Teresa?
There were things about the episode and the edit I did not like. like malania sticking the pencil. And saying I’m sucking it and then going down on it hard. There is no freeking way that should air. I kind of think Andy Cohen is the devil. And he clearly has not gotten over being thrown like a rag doll.
Jac and little cj rocking while audriana was playing with the big kids was sad. It was obvious that she kept him away from the others because that was the time she was realizing he had a problem. But instead she chose to blame Teresa. I’m pretty sure if any of the ladies got hit by lightening, that would also be Teresa’s fault.
And Caroline’s miserable Muzzy mouth in its constant frown is just pathetic. Her voice is just so annoying now. She was happy when she was a frumpy housewife. Now that she thinks she is a glamorous tv star slash counselor slash entrpreneur, she is miserable and insufferable. Should we open a window, indeed…
i thought cj is jacq’s oldest son…isnt Nicholas the one with Autism?
You’re right! Sorry. Meant Nicholas. Where the hell was cj.? And doesn’t Teresa have a pool? That ghetto slide was pathetic.
Oh and Richard? Saying his wife tastes like fish in reference to sex???? Can we talk about that??? Maybe she’s angling for a douche endorsement. Honestly, that is WAY worse than joe saying Teresa is a cunt.
If it helps, I told Richard he was a dick in that scene. I think he might have just been nervous. It was a big client meeting, he’s a comedian. He was wrong. But I think joking is his coping mechanism. I’ll forgive him if it doesn’t happen again, and it was so not worse than your husband calling you a cunt to his girlfriend on national TEEVEE.
You realize that he client meeting was both a client meeting AND on teevee? And he was sober. I think he’s a hunk of crap that has no value for what his wife does. He did not get whatever money he has by getting nervous in business meetings. He was almost sabotaging her. Which is fine with me because I can’t stand her anyway.
“But I think joking is his coping mechanism”….
Really? You honestly thought that was funny and forgivable?
Unbelievable!!!
This all show is sickening they set up Teresa she did not see it coming they blaming her for everything she is not innocent by all mean but the others are the scum they trying do hard
I think you might feel differently next week. Just a thought.
ANd hopefully be ble to better articulate your feelings.
OK, I feel that Melissa & Baby Joey set the whole thing up so they can get rid of Teresa. LOL that sounds mentally unstable? By setting Teresa up they had everything to gain and Teresa is off the show. My ex-brother set me up with my mother’s family, none of them speak to me and I don’t know why. He is a master manlipulator and I never see it coming until it smacks me in the face.
Example, my mother was in rehab recovering from a stroke. My brother calls me up and asks if I was molested by my step-father, he then says he was molested as a boy by the girls across the street, duh what are you talking about. A month later while my mother was still in rehab, after having buried my step-father and another brother, she shakes her fist in my face and said why did you tell her sister that my step-father molested you.
For me I didn’t make the connection as I was taking care of my mother’s business. After making arrangement to bury my step-father and brother together. Getting her Blue Cross, Medicare, Social Security, & Pension re-instated (which was another nightmare) The only persons to help me through this nightmare was my husband, son and daughter-in-law. During this time he kept asking me how much money she had in her checking account (which I was on), I kept telling him it is none of our business that I just pay the bills for her. The list goes on and on. There were times that I got lost driving home from visiting her.
Sooooooo, I called my aunt and asked her if she told my mother that, her answer/question, is it true? I was disgusted by that answer/question and I then realized that my aunt that I loved didn’t give a hoot for me.
I’m confused, was the Tre Kim Angelo scene filmed after the posche show? Kim is Tre best friend-fan and she looked like the Cheshire cat when Angelo entered and Maybe Teresa was nervous and uncomfortable because she was acting and was afraid she wouldn’t be any good at it. Just saying.
Hey Tamara. I know u don’t like Tree, it’s okay, u don’t have too lol. I still like u! Just wanted to point out a cpl things 1. Ur post u did about Tree and Intouch, u said in there Tree had a contract to do more? I guess that answers why she kept doing the interviews even after they came out. I think we all understand when u do an interview (even bravo does it too) they exaggerate what you say. You could interview me and ask me. “So Amia, how are you handling the trolls” I can say, “I’m just ignoring them” Then the headline could be, “Amia is fed up with Troll’s’
I’m not saying I necessarily agree with Tree doing the InTouch, but if sue had a contract thenI guess she had too. Maybe that’s what she meant by “it’s business”
2.I have zero trust with Bravo. You can count on when someone says something and if the camera isn’t directly showing the person’s mouth while saying it, it’s a voice over.
Teresa. Lol, I never liked her until this season. It is funny to see her give lessons. I’m surprised no one picked up on one of the first episodes, where Joe shakes the tarp and then we see a few mice, then Tree says, “AHhh look, look at the MICES” ——————————————————————————————————————————————-
A troll cam from your blog to me, left 26 comments so far, using as of today 7 i.p.’s, she told me to expose you.
So I am going to now, hoping the person will go the f away.
“Tamara Tattles exposed”
“Tamara is a blogger from Atlanta who primarily blogged about celebs in Atlanta. Since starting Tamara Tattles blog, she has since branched out blogging about reality shows, such as All of RH series and Big Brother. +
It should be noted that Tamara has more patience than my self, I have been spamming comments.
After reading ur Danielle (Big Brother) post , I’m wishing I would of watched this season. :/
For the love of God, keep the troll over there. 🙂 She’s batshit crazy.
Hi Tamara! I know you were distracted by trolls but can you answer my question about order of filming? Poshe show before or after the salon scene?
