I started this blog by reading Dina’s blog. It’s literally a philosophical discussion on “intention.” It reads as an advice column or perhaps a morning meditation. It’s weird and irrelevant. Everyone’s blog is about Amber and/or Jim. Before I even read the rest of them, I should point out that Amber had some sort of meltdown on Twitter, or perhaps it was Jim because at on point Amber actually claimed that Jim took over tweeting on her account. There was an altercation with Bobby where whoever was using the account said,” u r a sick bastard Bobby. ur day will come.” and “keep trying to be famous Bobby. we d/n want to upset daddy.” and other jewels. Don’t you love when media whores, point fingers at other media whores claiming the want camera time? That is exactly what they all want and why they are on the show. Amber keeps referring us to her blog on twitter, but so far Bravo hasn’t posted it. I get the feeling it will need its own post anyway. So when it’s up, I’ll get on it as soon as I have time.
As you saw in the episode, the Marcheses continue to contradict themselves. They seem to REALLY want to be liked by the Giudices and at the same time find ways to let us all know that they are too good for them. I’m confused, which is it? I also think Jim talks a big game and wants to portray a certain type of image that I would hope isn’t who he truly is, because no one can be that judgmental.
What I do know it that it’s not cool for a grown man to walk up to another man and call him a dumb ass in his ear in a very nasty way. Joe was sitting down and not in Jim’s face at all. Jim went too far. Joe just was defending his family, and for Jim to get in his face like that? I mean come on! He’s asking for a reaction, begging for it.
Getting to Bobby’s “first responders party,” out of respect for Bobby and his home, I was actually quite calm when Amber approached me in full-blown phoniness. I calmly walked over to Nicole so that she and Amber would rectify this matter. All Nicole expected was for Amber to apologize. However, Amber lost control, raised her voice, snapped her fingers, and made demands for us to “get upstairs.” Is she kidding? I will never be spoken to that way, nor will I ever respond to the verbal condescending abuse of a bully. What the responders needed that night was a straightjacket for Amber, LOL! I saw what happened that night between them. Amber grabbed Nicole’s arm. Nicole pushed her hand off and pulled her hair. There was physical contact between them both. I don’t condone raising hands and cat fights, but I was also taught to stand up and protect the people you love.
One important thing I want to make clear, VERY CLEAR, is that I do not condone violence. I regret that the whole physical altercation ever took place. It was truly unfortunate and undignified. I have never been in that position before and hope to God I never will be again. However, I will never back down to ANYONE who attempts to ruin my reputation! So actually the loss of a few hair extensions was not much compared to the defamation of my character. To me, verbal abuse can be just as harmful as physical abuse, and that is exactly what took place.
I don’t blame Amber for the things her husband says, but they were hurtful and sort of insane coming from HIM. First of all, he admitted his opinion of me and Joe was completely formed from “the news” about us. That’s a really shallow way to live, especially for someone who was making his own news before RHONJ was ever on the air. I don’t believe everything I read. I keep an open mind and try and make my opinions after I meet someone based on their actions toward me personally. (Newsflash: my opinion after meeting him based on his interactions with me and my family was very, very low.)
Second, Jim Marchese claims he can’t be at the same location as my husband because it would hurt his mortgage business? Is he serious? That would be baloney for anyone, but coming from THIS GUY?
Teresa has a point. Not a day goes by that someone doesn’t send me information about Jim Marchese. The only one I posted about so far is the Cell Therapeutics Whistle blower saga. There are all sorts of lawsuits about Mortgage Now, many with Jim as the plaintiff and many with him as the defendant. I’ve seen court documents that show that the state of Washington did a lot of investigating into the company which ended with Mortgage Now Inc. and James Marchese essentially giving up his license to work in the mortgage industry and the state of Washington fining him and restricting him from reapplying for a license for 20 years. There is also a lot of wild speculation about something even more problematic making the rounds, allegedly. It’s very clear that Jim is very litigious and has allegedly already threatened to sue at least one blogger over reporting on his background.
Can someone explain to me how someone with so many skeletons in their closet, would come on to the very reality show where two people are now facing prison time for their own skeletons and not expect it all to come out? It pure insanity at its finest and we all have a front row seat. I would caution you to be careful how you word your comments on this post. I suspect that Jim has the Sheree Whitfield gene regarding filing meritless lawsuits, and like Sheree he doesn’t realize that suing bloggers just gives them a MUCH wider audience. If hypothetically, someone blogged that you have a little dick, shrieking high and low SOMEONE SAID I HAVE A LITTLE DICK! over and over is probably not the ideal way to handle it. When you sign up to be on a reality show, you have to learn to roll with the punches and ignore a lot of stuff. In fact, most people learn that in middle school.
If its public record, what does he think he would sue for? I can’t stand Jim and hopes all his dirty laundry is aired.
Two words describe Jim Marchese- Richard Cranium. He also suffers from a rectal cranial inversion.
Why not just simply type “dickhead?”
Yes, I want to hear all about Jim. What is this new thing with people who have alleged negative pasts and alleged unsavory histories coming on TV, thinking people aren’t going to find out. The egos!
They are all thwarted politicians. Mark Sanford, John Edwards, Anthony Weiner. WTF they all are smarter than your average bear, one would assume, but hubris should be added to TT’s Bravo syndrome symptoms. Thomas Ravenel is the Bravo and politics love child.
Bravo really knows how to pick em.
Jim appears to me to have some personality problems. He obviously wanted Amber to sign on to promote his mortgage company but then got cold feet once he realized the producers wanted him as a foil to the Teresa/Joe drama. He was basically duped. Editors so far have made a joke of his not-that-funny commercials and his wife looks like a dingbat. The unintended (or maybe it is intended) result of this is that it engenders support for the true star of the franchise, Teresa. I mean, if the expert witnesses against them are this douchey that makes Tre and Joe seem just a smidgeon…not sooo. (Not their crimes, but as people.)
Oooh good point! I sure never thought I’d be on Teresa’s side!
…not sooo bad.
Don’t worry guys, everyone who deserves it gets their little piece of “karma humble-pie’ on real housewives. They all show their asses eventually so sit back and wait.
I’m not afraid of this guy. He’s on tv, we have the right to form our OPINIONS based on what he shows us. All I’ve seen of him so far is someone who is egotistical, attention-seeking, and desperate.
Oh, and Jim, if you are reading this, and get upset with me, remember: My opinions are based on YOUR behavior on camera. If you don’t like what you read, take some personal responsibility.
And…keep your hands out of your pockets…please. 🙂
That’s so he can count to 11.
I love that joke. Between that, and TT’s phrase “twat waffle”, I’ve been in stitches all day. 😀
Feels good to laugh at sick stuff don’t it. I have to quit playing and clean the kitchen. I also have a new library book.
I’m vaguely embarrassed to say I’ve never heard that joke.
In the flipside, I managed to sneak “twat waffle” into conversation with my dad today.
God, I am corrupting you people.

TT and fellow Commenter’s,
On a daily basis I have been blessed with colorful Mother/Daughter conversations
We had been calling the Cat “TrashBox” , he’s cool like that!
Jim reminds me of an administrator that we nicknamed Mr. Pimple
So its like the Guidices 2.0? As others have pointed out, if you really didn’t want to be associated with the Guidices why sign up to be on a show with them? Even if they never went to the same event or spoke to each other, their scenes will air back to back so the association will be there in the minds of the viewers, and maybe even the authorities.
Ironic that he makes a point of saying he doesn’t want to associate with people who fight…Then his wife gets into a fight.
the little dick comparison has me LMAO at my cubicle thanks TT !
I once had a principal who was incompetent. Because I have no filter, I was in a meeting with him and the district idiot about …oh something horrific I had done like show a clip from Little House on the Prairie from the school library to show them what a covered wagon was, or some other travesty… and I blurted out, well, we get evaluated every year, what is the procedure to follow if you feel your principal is incompetent. Yeah. This didn’t go well.
So he wrote me up for the covered wagon incident or whatever and he wrote me up for the incompetency thing. The write-up was very detailed. It said you are hereby directed not to call me incompetent, dumb, uneducated, moronic, stupid, a poopy head… blah blah blah like this whole list. IT WAS HILARIOUS. That document was then sent to the district office to be on file. #winning.

Don’t you just love it when they validate the spoken word. “Here’s your sign”. I bet it still pisses him off that such a letter is on file and he wrote it.
Oh, TT, I hope you kept a copy, and had it framed. That is too funny!
I had a similar situation at Disney. They wanted me to write a statement about myself, about what frustrated me. I wrote 15 pages on management and how incompetent they were, etc. I ended up being fired and blacklisted, and had to sue for wrongful termination (I won!)…But it was worth it. 😀
I was once given a Christian book to read and write a report on each chapter. That was my breaking point. I could not keep my panic attacks under control. Chapter one was about a preacher taking over a new church. He talked about how crappy the last pastor was and how much better the new church was now that he was there. I was I suppose to apply this to teaching the first grade?
This punishment…. I mean professional development was because I refused to provide them with a picture to put on a wall display. Repeatedly. Like 45 times. I thought I was pretty clear each time….
I don’t miss school administrators at all.

That principal is lucky you didn’t call him a twat waffle lmao.
Or a cunt. I wasn’t trying to attack his character. I was just pointing out incompetency, which he then confirmed in writing in the most hysterical write up of all time.

Yeah Tamara but you pointed out that he was a twat waffle in front of the district cunt basket and he couldn’t have that. Was he a short, balding guy by any chance? The year I was a full time sub teaching the kids who hadn’t passed the Competency Test, I had a principal that sounds a lot like him.
I actually ended up getting along with that one for a couple of years after he got over the fact that I knew he didn’t know what he was doing. His female Vice principal had a brain and he eventually just let her do all the thinking and things went much more smoothly. Sort of. Of course I still got in trouble a lot.

This dude sounds like a total douche. With all this coming out, I wouldn’t be surprised if their kids wind up being picked on in school due to their parents’ participation on this trashfest of a show.
What a jerk off. I actually feel sorry for him.
Best blog was Tre’s by far. She throws major shade at Melissa and Bobby for being disloyal while also SHREDDING Jim to pieces.
Based on the blogs so far, I’m seeing Dina/Tre/Amber vs Melissa/Twins for the most part with Amber/Melissa being the carrier pigeons.
Really? I thought with the episodes so far it would be like a Tre, Dina and Melissa united front (although fake), with Amber as the ‘villain’ of the group, and the twins like their own separate entity to the side. I thought that Dina wasn’t a ‘fan’ of Amber, and with what her husband is saying about the Tre and her husband, I doubt they are going to be Amber fans. It’s like Amber is the new Danielle Staubbs. This season so far though is a bit of a let down, not sure why.
God you are really dumb as a sack of dicks, aren’t you?

No TT, I’m right this time darling. I’ve been reading interviews. Dina ended up closer to Amber than she was the twins. eyeroll On the other hand, it’s OBVIOUS that Melissa is in love with the twins. She’s been their biggest fans thus far.
And with Teresa throwing jabs at Bobby and Melissa, I think she feels like Amber isn’t at fault for the feuds she’s in right now.
Amber will still receive the majority of the villain edit though. That’s obvious.
Mon Dieu! It’s a talking box of hair.

Another untalented lawyer. His talking head says it all. He is stupid as shit. He’s just another version of Phaedra. All that bragging. He’s got to be feeling stupid right about now. But he’s probably too stupid to realize how stupid he really is. Just another low life egotistical criminal wanting some tv fame. Joe got into this trouble because of arrogance and ego and because he thought he was related to Gotti and made of Teflon II. There’s a theme here. The Jersey folks get the prize for Most Corrupt. One thing though, Jim’s fear of being around Joe is because he’s just as shady. Amber must have been in her shallow stage when she picked this winner. How do they get through law school? And Melissa graduated from college but doesn’t know what SWAT, CPR and HAZMAT stand for. I’d love to see those grades.
Girl, strippers don’t need to know none of that stuff. When you’re specialized, you can be quite ignorant of other fields and things in general …
Yeah, she probably barely graduated or bribed somebody. There are loose rocks in her brains.
I have a masters degree (and a 3.75 GPA) and I had no idea what SWAT or HAZMAT stood for. I didn’t study anything that would have taught me those terms.
I wonder if Jim took the bar exam or went through with his application for fitness to the State Bar? He keeps saying he was “trained as a lawyer,” but we haven’t seen or heard him say he ever passed the Bar. There are online law schools and law schools that let anyone in their doors, so that could mean anything. Anyone know where this little weasel got his so-called training? I’ve gotta love Rino (?) for calling him out and telling him to get his little child hands out of his pockets.
It was probably some online course through Phaedra’s website.
Etiher that, or he watched reruns of “Boston Legal”.
He’s no Denny Crane.
I’ve seen bar applications and talk about privacy. There is none. They want to know everything from if you ever even got a J-walking ticket when you were 16, to who was every roommate you ever had and where are they now. They vet you so thoroughly that you need to make sure you know the date of your last rectal exam. It’s almost like applying for a high security clearance. Something like his background in Washington and being kicked out of the state and losing his license would really count against him passing the initial app, much less the bar exam. Not sure which came first–losing his license or applying to the bar (if he ever did). Most likely he was doesn’t have the “right stuff” for lawyering in the first place. Flash backs of Phaedra.
I LOVE your blog. That last paragraph had me in stitches on the train home.
No-one with skeletons in their closet would be brazen enough to be in the spotlight, so one wouldn’t generally suspect those in the spotlight of having anything to hide. At least, that seems to be the logic. These aren’t rational people.
Also, the whole going after the Giuidices and attacking them for their integrity reminds me of the high school bullies who target the very effeminate gays in a sad and pathetic attempt to hide their own homosexuality.
You are so right Jarlath. People attack what they most fear in themselves.
Well I do fear waking up stupid I suppose….

Today, I received the goods on Bobby. I just can’t anymore. I suggest when Phaedra sets out to look for her a clean man, she skip the state of New Jersey.

I’m on the fence about Amber. I think I don’t like her, but I’m trying to give her a chance. I do love that everyone has snarky comments about her Husband Jim ! pencil neck was one of my faves! And I can’t stand him! Take a seat Geek boy! And your commercial s suck!!
Can’t can’t can’t stand Amber and Jim, get them off this show. I didn’t like them two new women on housewives of Beverly Hills and thank goodness they are gone!!!!!!!!!!!
I can’t stand the new housewife Amber. I have to fast forward as soon as she shows up!
