After working out at the Gym, Joe Gorga is still cussing the whole way home. Apparently you can say pussy-whipped on Bravo. Joe is pissed at Teresa but somehow has a fit when Melissa says something about her too.
OMG it is Milania. I would like a 24 hour cam on Milania. Um this is an actual conversation between he parents:
Joe: Your brother’s got that Napoleon thing, ya know?
Tre: You mean bipolar.
Joe: No No No Napoleon. He was a little short guy that thought he could beat everybody up. He ran a little army and den one day the army crashed and everybody turned on him. He had this like little syndrome that people just call it now Napoléon Syndrome for short people.
Tre: I never heard that.
What a shallow gene pool Milania was spawned from. Bless her heart.
Oh Caroline. Why do you have to announce to the other bitches that Tre called you? That was a private conversation and you are in the room with her enemies. I love you, but stop with the shit stirring.
Kathy, why do you have to include Rich in the cannoli thing?
Rosie is trying to teach Joe Gorga proper communication skills, and how to be nice to people.
Jaq is exploiting her child’s disability on national television again. This seems like a good time to work on graphics.
I have been laughing for about five minutes. Tre is trying to prove on camera that she writes her own blogs. She is typing one handed and muttering trying to find the return key. I am thinking this is a brand new laptop she has never touched before. She says, “There are rumors out there that I can’t cook and I don’t write my blogs.” Where I come from we call these facts.
Tonight’s drama is a summit between Tre and Rosie…Rosie starts with a compliment, “I like your jacket.” I don’t really get the argument. Rosie seems to blame Tre for her father being mad at Rosie’s mother. I thought those two had not spoken since the 1920s or something anyway. I thought maybe Rosie was there to try to get Tre and Kathy back together. Tre is blaming Kathy for whatever is going on with the parents. Am I the only one that doesn’t get this “fight”? Kathy screaming and pounding on the table. Tre is screeching in her screechy voice. The bar is full of people staring at them. Tre suggests that Rosie “sober down.” And some how it decided everyone will go on a holistic retreat.
For the exclusive tea on the retreat, read here.
Frankly, for me this episode had way too much Rosie. At least we were spared yet another Gia is going through puberty in depth discussion…
Can’t these people get together without talking about Teresa. They seem a little obsessed with her. I dislike Jac. She loves to stir the pot and sit back and act all innocent with a sly little grin. I think she used to be Teresa’s friend but now that Teresa has a little more fame than Jac, she’s extremely jealous. The Manzo’s are a mess. The boys are worried about never being able to devote enough attention to a wife or girlfriend because of their careers. What is it they do exactly?? Lauren looked real busy at her salon. Not!
Beverly, that’s it in a nutshell…they got mad seeing Teresa with the cook books and the Fabellini and the hair care and the teeth whitener crap… The main issue was Jacqueline bitching about the tabloids, (the same ones she does), then it just snowballed. It got to the point where they just picked at everything she said and did. It doesn’t matter if Teresa deserves the attention, she is getting it and they wanted it.
As far as Jac and the tabloid thing, what I got from the whole disagreement is that Tre sometimes sells stories to the tabloids and sometimes the tabloids make stuff up. When stories came out about Joe Giudice possibly going to jail, Tre being worried about supporting her kids without Joe, etc. Jac didn’t know if this was a true or made up story and seemed genuinely concerned about her friend so she decided to ask her and Tre got really defensive about the tabloids, Joe, and her selling stories, or not selling stories as Tre claims.
Teresa has selective memory. It comes in very handy.
Rosie, I am a 36 year old woman been married twice have two grown kids and have been fake all my life. I have been watching you for 5 seasons now and feel so emotional, and physically attached to you. I just want to admit to everyone I have been gay all my life and knew I would not be accepted. i chose to be fake and I am still unhappy. It’s time for me to be happy so I am 5’3″, baby blue eyes, long brown curly hair, big chest, not skinny have weight on me just not overweight, and freckles everywhere. Wish you could just come and get me and pick me up sweet me off my feet and out of my fake life. I hope you understand with your appearance on TRHONJ you have inspired so much but, 100% me I am in love with you and always will be wither I meet you or not I will always have a place in my heart for you. You feel like my missing spirit.
is rosie mentally slow? what does she do for a living?
Well, she definitely falls on the lower half of the IQ bell curve. I don’t know what she does.
She also had a black eye in this episode.
She acts like she has a mental disability of some sort.
i don’t think she does anything except live with her mother. she does not appear to work. knowing andy she probably gets some kind of paycheck for being the gay mascot for jersey now that greggy’s gone.
*giving the side eye*
She also has not gotten laid in 6 years. Issues.
This is from A HUFFPOST interview with her. “I am a senior project manager for a company that manufactures high-end displays and furniture for the retail industry … I have a pretty crazy schedule, especially during the summer months. It’s our busiest time.”
Wow I find that very hard to believe.
Hi Kate. I also read the HuffPost article, written May 30, 2013. It’s entitled, “Rosie Of ‘Real Housewives Of New Jersey’ On Coming To Terms With Being Gay And More.” It is quite hard to believe.
Them she should be nominated for an academy award as she plays a very convincing woman with limited social skills
If that’s what she does, it doesn’t mean she has to have people skills. Or smarts.
She moves furniture.
I always feel sorry for kids born of the rich & famous. Of course there is no excuse for bad behavior, nor not working. Yet so many of them seem to be stuck in time – as though they’re grown up, but still attached to the apron strings so to speak. I don’t know what rich nor famous parents do after their children grow up – do they give them money or trust funds? If so, that hinders these kids even more. They grow up with everything given to them…then, if they’re just thrown out of the nest and told to work and make lots of money like Mom & Dad….not sure they can transition like that….in some respects, they are a bit ‘lost’ so to speak…..don’t hate me yall – it’s just my opinion.
Who is rich and famous?
Lol
No, I was not being glib. I truly wanted to know who the commenter meant? Are they talking about the wakikie kids, the gorgas, the manzos, the lauritas? Who?
That’s exactly what I said.
It happens in middle class families too!
I was not expecting Rosie & Teresa’s meeting to end that way, that came out of nowhere. Next week’s episode looks good, we need more Kim D and Lil Kim’s Trollz Doll friend to spice things up. Three seasons of the same chicks & same storyline is getting old.
Rosie has a problem with alcohol.
Didnt Rosie go on a mission to help Joe and carrier pigeon for him. He did not come up in the conversation at all. Weird.
So…for how long did Richie rent that kitchen? An hour? A week? Wasn’t really some big magnanimous gesture. More like an attempt at relevance.
Melissa hiding her computer from Joe when he walked in was weird. And him catching her tweeting something nasty, after he denied it to Teresa….she really is an expert on marriage. Thank god she’s writing her first book. And it was great of her to once agin blame her mother for her father’s piggishness, this time to Mom’s face. Her sisters are a pack of hyenas. Dislike seeing them on the show.
I think that some sleep and a good diet would do wonders for Nicholas. Kid looks exhausted and physically gaunt. Dressed in clothes meant for a 50 year old English professor with hair to match. I’m sure I’ll draw ire from the autism experts. But honestly, I don’t think you can cure him like she thinks you can. Whatever. Don’t correct me. I don’t care that much. But I still think she’s doing everything wrong on camera. Being on camera at all with him is wrong. Especially with her crying jag. I had to laugh when Caroline explained that Jacqueline was out with them because she needed some “me” time. Because she never has time for herself…um…get off twitter 24/7.
Joe came up in the conversation. She Alec and Tre said it’s deep and they’re going on the retreat. Rosie is such a loser. At this rate it will probably be at least 6 more years before she gets laid. That whole conversation SCREAMED production to me. A set up to the whole clan going on the retreat.
*she asked
I totally agree about Nicolas-i have an eight year old autistic son and Jac is going about things TOTALLY wrong-needs to just support and love not cure!!! Shes driving that kid nuts!! Let the pros handle…she can afford best schools in area-take avantage and dont lock kid up in a tent!! Yiiiikkkes…Hubby needs to step in-plus give the oldest son some attention….they will lose him and he will resent Nicolas!!
Neither Teresa, Joe or Melissa are willing to admit they did ANYTHING wrong. They are all victims and just trying “to make peace”. BULLSHIT. They are all as guilty as the others. They all suck.
That scene with Jac and Nicholas was terrible to watch and shame on Jac for letting Bravo film it. She and Chris need to get over the idea of “curing” Nicholas of his Autism. I thought they’ve talked with tons of specialists. Haven’t they all told them it’s not a disease to be cured but a condition to learn how to live with and manage? Jerks.
I hate everyone on this show.
I can’t imagine what lights and sound men and cameras do to poor Nicholas. That alone would exacerbate his issues. I wonder what the therapist says about shoving a camera in his face,
Seriously. Poor kid. Jac is delusional (duh) if she thinks she’s a role model to other parents with autistic children.
I am not going to judge her for trying to be a role model for parents with autistic children, but I think Nicholas would be better served and her time & energy would be better spent FOCUSING ONLY ON HER SON, out of the reality tv realm. The hell with everybody else, just take care of you child.
This season I dislike almost everyone too except for some reason Joe G. and Kathy and Rich’s kids. I don’t know why I like Joe… Kathy’s kids seem normal and I like that. I hope T.V. does not change them.
That is Joe G. Melissa’s hubby.
You know, I kinda forget why they are fighting too. Someone map out what each has done wrong? I know that they think Teresa set up that guy at the fashion show. I don’t think she did, so why apologize? I know Kathy said some shitty things about Teresa’s parents. She apologized, but that was a deep seeded hatred that came out for a minute. Bigger than can be glossed over with a simple “I’m sorry”. Rosie threatened to cut Teresa’s tongue out and has of late suggested that she’d like to fist her. Yet, no one seems to expected an apology fro Rosie (Miss Nomer).
It seems that pretty much everyone on the show has demanded that Teresa apologize. I’m not clear why. She should apologize for bring more popular than them? Or at least more talked about.
I thought it was funny when they showed the sign that said “looking good is the best revenge” and the camera pans immediately to Rosie. HA!
Joe Giudice needs to leave the psychology to the professionals, he is clearly out of his element. Pot call kettle black, much? He’s a little shortcake himself with a big ego too. What a little prick. When he is telling his Napoleon fairytale, Teresa is like, I didn’t know that. No shit Sherlock, nobody knows this miscarriage of history. Very unnecessary for him to say Melissa straps one on and gives it to Joe Gorga in the you-know-where.
I thought exactly the same thing TT wrote about Teresa and her lame attempts to show the world she really writes her own blogs. Hunt and peck, good lord, at the rate she was going she might be through by Thanksgiving. She can’t string a coherent thought together and she sure can’t type, so she pretty much proved herself a big old bullshitter again and people fall for this? Inconceivable.
I agree, Joe Giudice needs to look at himself in the mirror when he tells the tale of Napoleon and it’s crazy how Tre says her brother is Melissa’s puppet and she’s in his ear but she seems to never check her husband when he says mean things about the Gorga’s to her. At least Melissa’s husband checked her for saying mean things about his sister.
Teresa is the other woman in Joe Gorga’s life and that doesn’t sit too well with her. How dare he? (I can just hear her shrieking it.) It’s like she thinks her brother is supposed to take her side, no matter what, because she put her brother before her own husband for a long time. If I was Joe Giudice, I would feel threatened and jealous too. He can’t really take it out on Teresa (‘cept to call her cunt and nice things like that) so he has to take it out on the Gorga’s.
Gingersnap, I so agree and have thought the same thing about Joe Giudice. He actually is more likeable this season (still creeps me out though) and I am sure he is back peddling like mad after what an asshole he was last season.
When Theresa was typing her blog I was dying…dying…flat line________!
TT If I understand the nuances correctly, when Kathy forgot to put on her fake demeanor at the reunion, she called Teresa’s father a coward. Later when she realized her natural bitch streak had slipped out, she gave a fake lame ass apology which Teresa pretended to accept, except we know Teresa doesn’t let go that easy. Apparently because of the fight between Teresa and Kathy, their parents decided they were also mad (each wanted the other kid’s daughter to apologize and actually mean it) at each other so they restarted their old feud and stopped speaking to each other (my guess is the original feud they had going was not really resolved but just standard “pretend” to forgive and forget.
I am so over Rosie but in a sense she is the voice of reason, how scary is that shit? She doesn’t just blame Teresa, she also sees how Joe is just as bad, maybe slightly different style but just as bad . Big mouth Caro loves to stir the post and just relishes anytime she can bring Teresa’s name into the mix so they can all gang up and bitch about her. So last year BS, not buying it for one second. Jac of course showed her usual maturity level in smiking and smiling with Glee at the very mention of Teresa.
Frankly I have no words to describe Jac and Chris and the atrocious job they are doing of prostituting their little boy for ratings and relevancy. I sincerely think they are ashamed of Nicolas which is why they persist riding the delusional path that Nick is going to be cured. I don’t see how Jac can possible create a better life for this kid, she sucks as a parent….we saw it all with Ashley and I am betting one day we will see her son (damn he is so pushed to the curb by these jackasses for parents that I forgot the kids damn name) torn apart from being the middle and ignored child.
I had to laugh at Carolyn’s concern over how hard her kids worked. Maybe if they had taken the time to actually get a college education, they might have better options to make a success of something………I still haven’t seen signs of them working but rather a lot of pretending to be busy crap while Mommy lives right down the street so she can cook for her “wittle babies”. These boys, especially Chris will be sucking her teat for life.
Melissa should have been slapped by her mother for her low dig blaming her Mother for not keeping the cheating bastard who was her father home happy. Funny how she claims to be so concerned about making sure her family buys into her plans to write a BS book but can’t see that had she tried that approach with Teresa before sneaking on to her show, their might have been some family peace.
I can’t wait til the phoney retreat where they can have their holistic healing as Teresa calls it.
1. Kathy & Richie are like the poor relations that have been mooching off you for years who turn on you when they smell the slightest bit of blood in the water. That’s the part that Theresa & parents can’t forgive.
2. So right about Jacqueline. That kid will hate her forever for what she’s doing to him in front of a national tv audience. What’s wrong with him anyways? all I saw was jacqeline taking his toy away then crying like a drama queen when the kid pitched a fit. There’s nothing wrong with that kid but (like you said) truly aweful contemptable parents
Nobody even mentions little CJ anymore, he’s the sweetest kid on the show, and now that Nick is autistic, and Jac has a story line where she can play the hero, I guess CJ Is out. He is an adorable sweet little boy, he should be on the show, here and there, like he used to be.
Speaking of Caroline’s children, I understand their dad has a restaurant. That does not mean they should run one. DId they already go bankrupt with the black water? And I thought Lauren’s store shut down, No? I am absolutely disgusted with Lauren for getting a lap band to lose 40 LBS! Come on you lazy brat. She’s STILL fat to top it off! I feel like they are just pretending to do stuff until their parents die and they will inherit whatever they may have left. Sorry but they all just rub me the wrong way. It’s the way they act so entitled.
So you don’t think someone raised working in the family business should start a similar business? This is the second business that we know of that they are running. (BLK is not bankrupt…yet) Lauren runs a makeup store and went to school to be a beautician. This is what you call waiting for the parents to die so they can inherit money? So someone who has been obese since childhood who after two decades of dieting finally decides to get a lap band because they are lazy brats? Who do you think would be a good candidate for a lap band? And you find it appropriate to continue to call someone struggling with their weight on national television STILL fat and lazy? Nice.
I was saddened and disgusted to hear and see Caroline gossip about her private talk with Teresa with the very women that hate Teresa. Caroline was the only one I liked on this lame ass show. She really isn’t what I thought she was. An intelligent and caring person. She is as big an asshole as all the rest of them.
I mostly am disappointed in myself for watching this crap. I vowed last season I wouldn’t watch anymore as it had gotten too painful and here I am watching it after Dexter and the one following it on Showtime. God I think the lot of them are just horrible people. Both Joe’s and Richie make my skin crawl. The idea of having to sleep with them would be enough to send me over the edge. (Sick I know but I can’t help how my twisted mind works.) Melissa needed a good smack from her mother after her comment that SHE would make sure her husband would never stray by keeping her home so wonderful for him. Jac is the worst of them all by her exploiting of her child.
What happened to these women? I loved the first couple of seasons of this show! It seems once Teresa’s creepy self-serving relatives came on last season, the show really turned dark and ugly.
Well I don’t have any desire to watch once again and this time I will try and stick to my words. I can read TT’s blog and the comments that follow to satisfy my sick curiosity about those obnoxious sociopaths.
Back in the day, people got a kick out of going to the colosseum and watching the lions eat the Christians. Today we have the Housewives 🙂
I agree with everything sandybo had to say, but I did stop watching. I couldn’t watch Teresa one more second. I also count on catching up with Tamara’s recaps and that’s all I need and don’t have to put myself through fast forwarding, muting, or just turning the channel when Teresa is on. Thanks Tamara I love all of your takes on all of the reality shows. I try to watch as many as I can and the ones I miss I just come over to your site to catch up!
Julie you are a better woman than me! I got sucked in by the ad of Rosie and Teresa in the bar for the upcoming episode. What a fool I was! The show just leaves me feeling negative and dirty which is not who I am or what I want to feel like! I just let my curiosity get the best of me. Sometimes I am just a glutton for punishment!
I didn’t think Caroline said anything bad. In fact I think she represented Teresa’s side fairly.
I don’t understand why Caroline have and apartment if its cause of her sister why don’t she let the sister live int the apartment and she stay in the comforts of her home
Uh….what?
I was thinking the same thing. She’s going to let the animals drive her out of her own home. And I guess they don’t love their german shepherds very much as they just left them behind too. Who is Caroline kidding? The only reason she got the apartment is so she can continue to be up her son’s asses.
Some apartments don’t allow having a lot of animals. Some require huge pet deposits because they make a mess. Some apartments don’t allow any pets.
That’s exactly what I mean. Anyone who loves their pets would never get a place that doesn’t allow them. Not like they don’t have the money to find one that does.
The sister is the one who collects animals. Caroline is being nice to her. I think Caroline’s dogs stay outside. They are use to open space. I’m sure the sister is lookinv agter them. In addiyion, I think she visits everday. Have you ever invited family to help and they overstay their welcome?
Y’all Hoboken is 30 miles or less from Caroline’s house. She just wanted an apt to be near the boys. She doesn’t LIVE there. She is back and forth. She wants to sell the house but Albert doesn’t so it was a compromise.
On Tue, Jul 2, 2013 at 1:09 PM, Tamara Tattles
Plus the main reason she does the show is so the kids can be on. Albert hates filming. So the apartment is for Bravo to have a place to film Caroline and her kids who live in Hoboken now and be out of Al’s hair.
Poor Al.
Ugh can they fire Jaq already? Her storyline is her poor autistic child, when it should be about her bankruptcy and husband’s failing businesses. Or maybe all of her successful SECRET businesses LOL! Time to get rid of Jaqs!!!
Is Rosie a “housewife” now?
I used to think Melissa was cute season 1, but now she just disgusts me. She truly is a desperate famewhore. She seems so fake. By the way, when your dad leaves for several days at a time, that does not make him father of the year. And why is she writing a book? She’s no Brandi Glanville that’s for sure!
I feel like they need some fresh talent on this show.
Her book will advise the girls on the right way to spread their legs to get and keep a man. It’s just so fucking sad. I don’t think anyone in this show knows what a true marital partnership should be. If they did going in, their newfound fame has skewed them and screwed them. I guess that probably goes for all the marrieds on all the cities.
Whatever happened to Jaq’s daughter Ashley. She would be a great one to help with Nicolos..not. Did they just ship her off to L. A. and forget about her, or did the lawsuit involving Danielle toss her in the Bravo liability category. I’m sure Jaq is not capable of handling Nic and Ashley and financial problems. She’s already losing her mind.
