I’m not sure I can handle Jacqueline exploiting her kid and Amber’s cancer storyline ramping up all in one episode of the Real Housewives of New Jersey. UGH.
We start with the Giudice family waking up in the house that fraud built. Teresa is trying to keep things as normal as possible right up until she and Joe head off for college. Am I the only one that forgets that Gabriella even exists? Teresa drives the kids to school in her PJs. Gia tells her mom she is proud of her for being strong throughout her trial.
I literally forgot I was supposed to be blogging during this scene with Dina. So boring.
Joe Gorga doesn’t seem to be having the easiest time dealing with his sister going to the big house.
Rino’s scene where he discusses his enlarged prostate and upcoming colonoscopy was made even more disturbing when he donned a pair of underpants with a cock sock which he twirled on national television.
Is this episode over yet?
Melissa and Joe go to meet with an architect for the house that will never be built. They should be living with the beavers fairly soon. The imaginary house is huge and just as hideous as all the others. They plan on the pool costing $250,000. Joe says he wants to be out of that house and into a bigger one in less than two years. How long until the Feds start checking out how all of this crap is being financed? Do these people learn nothing?
It’s time for Amber to do a talking head with her boobs handing out about going to Easter church services. Oh and the cancer and how the cancer made her start going to church. Did you know she had cancer over five years ago? Yes, she did. Oh wait, he five-year mark is coming up. How coincidental that check up occurred during filming. Amber goes to call Teresa to let her know she is at the church praying for her, even though Teresa’s situation is not nearly as dire as Amber’s tragic life. Teresa was at the gym working out. She has some guns on her! Amber is mostly pressing for information and being nosy more than supportive. Teresa finally says, “Don’t ask questions. If I want you to know something, I’ll tell you.”
I slept through another Dina scene. Sorry. Basically, her assistant Luke is moving to Ireland to get laid by Irish guys.
Why is Rino wearing surgical gloves to chop vegetables. TeRESSA and Rino have Dina and Lexi over for dinner the night before Rino’s colonoscopy. That, as one might imagine, makes for lovely dinner conversation. Then the topic shifts to Amber and how gossipy and nosy she is. Dina’s position is that Tre’s court battles are nobody’s business. My position is you can google the details if you want to know without asking “your friend” who is going through all the drama recount it to everyone one by one.
Teressa doesn’t know why she has to go to the colonoscopy. Didn’t anyone tell her she is going to have to drive him home? The doctor says Rino has the prettiest colon she’s seen in a long time. My doctor said the same exact thing to me. Sounds like they say that to everyone. Who knew?
Amber: blah blah blah cancer. But what the fuck is that shirt she is wearing? Amber says she is not going to Florida.
Now Teresa says she is not going to Florida. Then she tells Dina about the rumor about Rino. Dina doesn’t believe it.
Next Week: It’s the Florida Trip. And the winter in July scenes that Kathy and Jacqueline filmed. And Jacqueline and the kid. And Teresa looks for a place to live when the bank takes her house back.
Sounds like another bleh episode. Who blends onto the background more, cute little Gabriella or boring Dina?
What’s the deal with Gabriella? She can’t be their offspring, hell, she ain’t even of the same species as Joe or Teressa.
maybe they kidnapped her. We should be watching milk cartons just in case…

I think all the Guidice and Gorga kids are adorable and will all be heartbreakers when they are older. If I didn’t think that, I would keep my mouth shut unless I wanted everyone to know how horrible I was as a person to be judging children.
I don’t think getting the Gorga (physical) genes is a bad thing. I dislike Teresa’s style and behavior but I don’t think she’s a bad looking woman. All of her daughters are cute. Gia technically should be awkward right now but is a stunning young lady!
Their biggest problem is getting Teresa’s low hairline, but that can be easily solved with a hairline lift. It’d balance out their faces — Teresa especially.
Btw, I come from the school of “everyone can be insulted, even children”. I figure if you’re gonna insult people, fuck sensitivities.
Great recap…
I wonder if Dina has regrets coming back to this shit show? There were so many intimate details of these people tonight …. I can totally live without hearing about colonoscopys unless I’m being paid for it!! And Amber and her crying… you can’t even take it remotely serious, and let’s not forget the white eyeliner. Ugh
I’ve yet to see the white eyeliner… I do all my best typing catchups during Amber scenes. And Jim is… beyond creepy.

Bravo needs to fire that damn makeup person that keeps putting white liner on them. First Tamra, now Amber. It’s disturbing to look at.
Tamara, she had it on in her talking heads. All I could think is that Amber’s make up artist must really hate her guts. Tamra’s white eye liner has NOTHING on Amber’s. She looked truly frightening. I couldn’t hear a word she was saying it was so crazy looking and distracting. Not that I’m complaining about not being able to hear her.
I eventually saw Tamra’s after some lunatic kept tweeting me that I look ridiculous in white eyeliner… I didn’t even know white eyeliner was a thing. lol.

LoL! When they took it from the OC, I guess they gave it to Amber! Somebody break that pencil already!
Yes I do agree, what was up with Amber’s eyes she look like a cartoon character. This episode was like watching paint dry. I was as bored as a man doing hard time at Rikers Island.
Teressssa practically screaming “PROSTRATE” this and “PROSTRATE” that was beyond irritating. Bad enough she used the wrong word, she’s there yelling it repeatedly!
What a boring episode. I love “the house that fraud built” in your blog! They need to lose that house.
Dina couldn’t be more boring.
I know of no one who has or had cancer that talks about it nonstop like amber. Something is wrong with her but it isn’t cancer.
I do not care to see jaq or hear about the only child on the planet with autism.
Hope this season starts getting better….so far it sucks donkey d*cks!
Amber just exudes anxiety. She just can’t let things go or realize boundaries once she’s focused on them.
RCH, lol long, green, slick, slimy ones at that.
I have an autistic grandson and he is amazing, but I could never let him be filmed, period. Life is hard enough for anyone with issues but bright lights, strangers with cameras. Somebody wake Jaq up hard. This is sad exploitation of a defenseless child. Nastier than outright neglect and physical abuse. Yeah, I’m talking to you, Jacqueline. Put your child first.
my thoughts exactly!! I have a friend with an autistic son and I could NVER imagine her using her son (espescially as her storyline!) its downright shameful espescially when Nicholas is too young to object
I’m glad I DVR’d the episode so I could fast forward through most of the episode. I really have no need to listen to a 50 year old man talk about his colon and his prostate. That’s not why I stared watching these shows.
I think Rino should pay more attention to his terribly penciled on brows in my opinion.
I think Gabriella is beautiful. Guess I’ll watch this tonight….later.
Gabriella is lovely, her scene is brief. I’d suggest FF wording through everything but the kids scenes. Where was Juicy this episode? There was really nothing to watch. I literally forgot I was blogging RHONJ more than once and started to “check to see what is on.” Sure it’s partly because I have CRS, but really… this whole episode was crap. Big Brother was WAY better.

yeah, they do. I really can’t fault her for that. But she is on TV. So you would think…. but it does make it real. We used to have parents drop their kids off on days we were closed for teacher work days or other holidays… They would just toss them out and leave and we would have to call them up and explain Often in Spanish….

This episode was blah. They just wanted to squeeze out one more episode before next week’s episode. I cant watch Jacqueline again. Just cant. Also, now we have the Lauritas financial problems. We have Tre & Joe. What is this season? Depression by Bravo?
It sounded like the lentil Season to me too!
This show is really, really awful!

LoL. ..now I have to rewind it! That’s funny!
Listen, my mother died of inflammatory breast cancer, six months later her mom died of breast cancer. Six years down the road, I survived cancer twice…
I think I have “talked” about it more in my run in sentences in this blog than I ever have in real life. I tried having empathy for her, I just can’t.
I feel like if she had to wait in line to use a public bathroom she could somehow spin that into a cancer story. I wish she would just shut the f*ck up.
Congrats on your victory and strong spirit, Melissa! Sadly, you are among many survivors here (not me…yet?) and we encourage talking about it as much or as little as you would like. I admire the sisterhood of survivors that have somehow come together here. Y’all encourage me everyday to try and have better health habits especially with my family history.

I personally think ambers cancer was not as threatening as she shows. I don’t mean to sound nasty… But she blows EVERYTHING out of proportion do it would make sense she would blow the cancer up…
Dina is ugh to me, she is trying too hard to be the peace maker and zen. She’s going to end up being a shit stirrer, IMO.
But my real thought is… Do you think the Rino/ Santa thing is real??
Melissa, welcome to the “Tamara Tattles Home for Wayward Cancer Survivors”.
Seriously, I agree with you about Amber. I just went through this myself, and I’m now recovering (YAY!) Amber is annoying, and it makes me ashamed to be a survivor. She should be grateful.
I’m warning y’all now, if it happens to me, I will whine 24/7 like my dead sister did and need your constant attention and affirmations and free shit. LOL. It’s hereditary. Sorry in advance.

And TT, hope you never have to join the club… But if you do, milk it lol I had my milk it days.
But when it’s over, just shut the hell up! Lol
Ugh. I had 16 rounds of chemo. It was a LONG 5 months. But–it saved me…so far.
I feel ya Cat! Chemo is a beast. The whole process is a beast. Surgeries, chemo, radiation, ports, picc lines (TPN in my case to help with nutrition) the side effects… All of it
This is why I don’t buy ambers story about it all. I feel like once you have beaten it, and are doing well, you don’t use it as a stick to beat people over the head about it. Yes, it’s a badge of honor to survive.. But it’s not a lifetime prize of bragging rights to throw in peoples faces! And her hair, I forgot to mention this last night! How much weave does she have??? I lost all my hair (twice) and it grew back a complete different texture. Her hair grew back mighty quick and healthy…
Someone here was defending her “real hair” a while back. I’m not buying a lot of what she is saying.
I will say, my sister who did not survive cancer lead with it in every conversation. I lived in a small island town at the time and she told every single shop owner she had cancer. It was weird. I suppose everyone deals with it differently, and we shouldn’t judge. But there are a lot of things that don’t add up to me….

Never have I seen Such a Thick Full head Of Such LONG Healthy Hair within years of Chemo- I find Amber an opportunist trying to MAKE ANY story line for herself… how sad and Pathetic to throw such a Serious thing as Cancer in the Mix-
Amber and her Biatch hubby are hard up for business and Finagled their way on show… “hey I met ooops KNEW Melissa in high school….” They are completely “uninteresting” and a waste of TV airtime… That family doesn’t deserve to be on the show-
Melissa being my favorite – Nothing but sweetness and has kept it classy who I “believe” truly has good intentions and keeps trying to better herself- her Joe- Funny Teddy-bear- However I think his relationship with his sister is REALLY weird- not necessarily to his doing- As Theresa is WEIRDLY jealous of his wife- and she has totally let this show go to head- her hubby Joe is Jersey Shore Fun Meat head . Glad Jaqueline is gone – she was a whiny pushover played victem- Dina is Beautiful BUT BORING- and she will find a Great New Man no problem- Maybe then she should come back on the show and show him off 🙂
ALL AND ANY Twins are always entertaining to watch…
Bottom Line – Amber you and Lame hubby Yawn… And SHAME on YOUS’ (as Joe would say) as you BOTH are participating in What is NO JOKE of Cancer….
I guess you are right, TT. I suppose her hair could be better than before and grow like weeds (@@)
And I suppose I shouldn’t judge. But, I can’t help it! Can I use my old cancer for my excuse?
Sorry about your “dead sister”… And sorry I referred to her in your words but it cracked me up!!
I was done with her BEFORE she got “the cancer” and “the cancer didn’t make me like her any better…She played the card to get birthday parties, a new kitchen floor!?! and a variety of church people to come do her bidding.

Apparently you can get all sorts of great stuff from having the cancer. My niece (who is 30) has just completed the 100 day mark after a stem cell transplant due to leukemia. She’s getting a new house and just picked up her new car on Monday. All paid for by her Dad. She has everyone at her beck and call. And lest we forget for even two minutes that she survived THE CANCER she reminds us in a very shaky, tearful voice. She always was a self-centered, greedy gannet.
She’s doing fine – the rest of us are exhausted.
Hey did anyone see din as tweet saying “Let’s play a #RHONJ game. How many fans can pick up on the 3 word season 1 voice over tonight. #soannoying #obviousmuch” what was she talking about? And are we ever gonna see the atlantic city trip or is that later?
I think she was the voice?
Amber has made cancer her story so much that I distrust this inconclusive test ever happened. She might have made it up for more self centered, tearful drama.
Doesn’t everyone eat jelly beans at the end of the lentil season?
I hate to admit I don’t believe the inconclusive stuff either… I’m glad someone else mentioned it.

I can’t imagine having to drive from Marietta to Jonesboro during rush hour traffic after hearing that news!!!

When I went in for my 6 month check up after having cervical cancer, I got a phone call that my results were inconclusive. Wasn’t a bad or good thing, it was indifferent. Because all it means is that my results weren’t positive or negative and they had to do another test. It wasn’t something I had to rush back there to do the same day. How she portrayed it is not how it normally goes. She is stupid and so over her victim story. If you survived, you are a survivor not a victim.
I totally agree she blew the inconclusive crap up. And btw, who leaves in the middle of mass to make a non emergency call?? She’s a freak!
I love how she asked Jim’s permission to leave, when word on the street is that Jim begs her for permission. Allegedly.

That was going to be my comment, too. Oy! Inconclusive is hardly a death sentence. And what happened to her blog comments, about strength, and wanting to know everything, blah, blah, blah?
Her reaction reminded me of Jax on Vanderpump Rules. He went out of his way several episodes (if I remember correctly) to tell everyone that he was diagnosed with cancer, when the tests hadn’t even come back yet.
Someone on one of the other TT blogs about Amber said it best. She makes herself out to be a victim, not a survivor.
Oh, and by the way, her slicing strawberries, and wiping her nose with her hands made me want to gag.
And more importantly the “fake cancer scare” dodged a bullet script has been done. Kenya Moore RHOA 2013. And we actually hoped Kenya DIDN’T have cancer. #FAIL

which is why I was grateful Rino was cutting veggies with gloves on…since I’m sure he was spending a LOT of time in the bathrooom.
My job is to edit medical reports. I have actually haven’t ever heard any of the docs on my account mention inconclusive results on their followups and progress notes test results for survivors. Weird now that I think of it. I would assume it happens but very rarely.

That’s right, Melissa. One blood test is not going to tell them everything. She still needs the biopsy, the body scan, etc. They may know initial results, but won’t know the extent until all the tests are done. And even then, treatment can change a lot of things.
I actually tweeted to her to stop playing the cancer card. It’s annoying. This was the first time she and her cocktail weenie husband didn’t answer me. *sniff*
I’m not on twitter but I think I may have to sign up. You guys crack me up with the stories from twitter!!
Maybe she meant the outcome wouldn’t be good Bc Jim would commit more illegal acts to pay for her treatment?
Agree that Jacquline exploiting her son is gross but at least he has a heartbreaking disease. Theresa gets away with her disgusting exploration of her kids and most people think its cute. I just don’t get it! Miliana is funny (if she is not yours) but really the biggest brat ever. If she was any other housewives child, OMG the shit would hit the fan and bad mother would be the kindest words she would be called. I hate to say this but Tre gets treated better than a A-list celeb. BTW where is Teresa’s mug shot? Everybody else in tv that’s in trouble theirs
is shown all over social media. Why does this fake, broke, Jersey thief, criminal bitch get away with it?
Did Amber have cancer? I thought she said she had cancer? I thought I heard or read somewhere that Amber had cancer? Was it cancer?

What’s “cancer”?
I have no sympathy for Teresa and her legal issues, but I did really feel for her when she got that annoying call from Amber. I’m glad she finally stood up for herself and said “If I want you to know, I’ll tell you.” I would have said something similar.
I think Teresa could have told Amber to buzz off without the Jacqueline references to the viewers. A better idea would have been to have Teresa NOT film this season-since the everyone has to walk of friggin’ eggshells around the felon. Teresa and Jac were friends for 10 years until Jac wanted to hear something from Teresa other than her fabulousness. I don’t think Amber is really in the same position.
Teresa was true to form -once again spreading the gossip about someone else-and of course Teresa would say she believed and argue in support of the rumor.
Pretty sure Teresa was told to throw out those Jaqueline references to set up her return, the one filmed in the summer yet staged to make us believe it happened last winter.
I guessed Tre’s worst nightmare will be coming true soon. She’ll now have to move into a “used” house if hers sells after being on the market. I remember in season 1 or 2, when she said she would never want to live in a used house. My, how the tables have turned.
She’s probably already out. She doesn’t have any close neighbors or they would have already told me. :)

This is literally the most accurate post I’ve ever read….my exact thoughts!
TT actual job title is medical language specialist….meaning I edit the reports doctors transcribe into voice recognition software so they are readable and have all the proper language.
Interesting. So do you edit grammar? It’s possible you could misinterpret meaning and fuck things up?
I thought their voice transcript transcription was the real deal.
I would think you would gain a lot of medical knowledge. I know when was a technical editor, I knew a lot about weird software/hardware which I have completely forgotten. I should probably do that again. I do need to leave the house and IBM has tons of opportunities through employment sites. here.
I had no idea medical transcripts were edited. It would seem there would be the potential for human error regardless of you skill.

Medical transcription is a huge business- pays well and affords stay at home moms a steady profitable income. I have several friends that work as transcribers. You have to be self motivated and take basic medical terminology. So basically at the end of a doctors day he/she will speak into a recorder about each patient diagnosis, prognosis, course of treatment etc. then those tapes are downloaded then the transcribers copy onto paper and out in the patients chart. I was a nurse for 10 yrs and believe me transcribing is easier than reading a doctors order! To most ppl the orders look like chicken scratch and deciphering the davinci code is nothing in comparison. Doubtful about the inconclusive results- that’s kinda like saying I’m a little pregnant! For 8 yrs I worked oncology and in all those years I think we had a half dozen patients with inconclusive results, and were due to other factors unrelated. So from what I’ve seen think ambers career(Jim says) as a actress is coming to an end on RHONJ! Jim needs twitter intervention .. TA (twitters anonymous) .. Haha .. Wish there was such a thing because Jim would be the best candidate. He has taken a royal dump on every cast member and needs to stfu!
I don’t actually do transcription I edit the document that the voice recognition software spits out, it’s a little different that actually typing a document straight out.
Yes, I do edit for minor grammar but other than that it’s pretty much 100% verbatim of what the doctors or whomever is dictating for them says. On the accounts I’m on we aren’t allowed to change sentence structure etc. Voice recognition is good but there is just no one it could take the place of human,hence the need for editors. I could give you a 1000 examples of why, but don’t want to bore you with all the little details.

Voice recognition software comes up with some unusual words, especially when the physician or dictator has a heavy accent.
I do have a few questions .
Was Audryana (?) in a booster seat?
How can Theresa say she’s a good mom when she has no idea who has done their homework and what test who has to take ? She doesn’t work so what’s the problem ?
Am I the only person who is annoyed that people who do not have full command of the English language in addition to being dumb seem to be so well off?
Does amber want to have cancer again for attention ?
Does Dina think she’s holding our attention ? Oy!
I’m holding on by a thread this season With These people .Is this the best that bravo could do?
I’m glad you asked this question because it’s crossed my mind that Amber seems almost as if she wants the cancer. I’m mean logically I know she doesn’t but maybe she has Munchausens Syndrome. I think she just thrives off the attention that being sick brings.
I noticed Audriana’s seatbelt was completely loose and T was driving with her left knee up and a coffee cup in one hand. I think the “driving scene” was mostly filmed at a standstill otherwise Teresa would have been a menace to everybody else on the road. (And it was strange that there was no sign or even mention of Juicy…)
I guess I’m going to lose my Mother of the year award ( that was awarded to me in my imagination) because I often have no idea when my kids have tests. Granted, they are teenagers (plus a toddler) and should have some responsibility.
Riding unrestrained in a car is unacceptable- she should be in a booster seat at least. My boys would unbuckle a time or 2 from their seatbelt a when they were younger but I would quickly threaten them and they would buckle right back up. 🙂
@shebelle its almost impossible to keep up with teenagers and tests and projects . Theresa’s children are very young , there’s no excuse for her not to know about homework tests etc. maybe she can’t read
But really… Where is Teresa’s mug shot?
The kids had no seatbelts on. Jesus.
I know right. And the kid in the back wasn’t in a child seat. Not to mention Teresa waving around the ceramic coffee mug and driving with one hand the whole time.
I think Audriana might have been in a booster seat, but the strap was definitely not secured.
did anyone notice the generic plot plan that joe and melissa were looking at with their “architect”? Joe going on about his research and commitment to authenticity? Then notice the framed and labeled renderings of the same damn Joe genius hanging on the walls behind them??? They wanted a $3.9 mil stamp-out that anyone else could buy!
Was it just me, or did anyone else think that house Joe & Melissa want you to THINK they’re building looks a lot like Teresa’s? The same color scheme, the turrets, etc.?
What does everybody think of the new Palazzo de Poison”? What pretentiousness and bad acting. Come back when you have:
1. Evicted Kai Patterson (does the landlord have to pay for the movers to dump 17 rooms of furniture on the curb?)
2. Evict Da Beavers
3. Unload the current Palazzo de Beaver
4. Buy land
5. Get a construction loan (maybe Juicy and T can give him some tips)
Fake, fake, fake!
And what about the big bare room at the dinner with Rino? And who the hell has guests and cooks and serves them during colonoscopy prep, seriously? I just did that 2 weeks ago, no way would I have company in the house!
I actually turned it off after that. Prepping for colonoscopy is exceedingly uncomfortable — you don’t want anyone visiting. I can almost understand his wife’s twin and mom-in-law (it’s family), but when fucking Dina and her kid walked in, I was disgusted.
Got that right! Drinking that stuff was horrific, and what happened next – I would have died if anyone had been around. My husband was away when I did mine lol. My mom took me. And I sure wouldn’t have cooked for anyone. Sheesh.
Speaking of Rino, he hurt my eyes with that bird bikini of his. Blindness by Bravo!
I still cant get over having a dinner party when someone is doing a colonoscopy cleanse. Just disgusting. I was surprised Bravo didn’t put a camera in the bathroom so we could get every grunt & groan of Rino’s bowel movements. Dinner party by Bravo. Classy!
Fuck. Me. All of my life I’ve been terrified of the – colonoscopy. No worries, 50 is a loong ways aways. I’ll be 46 in December. And nope. WT SERIOUS F do people need to pry up in my ass for? Don’t tell me it’s this way or the coffin. This getting old shit sucks. The coffin is looking doable. Facial hair, gray at that, bad eyes, aging…. Invisible to men…… Yes I’m whining. I’m ok now. Getting old- I’m the right bitch- but not that colonoscopy. Hell to the naw.
I was bored, but I’m not even tuning in next week. Jacqueline? Gross.
I guess it’s good Teresa works out. No one wants to enter jail too out if shape to defend themselves.
Her arms are no joke! Made me want to think about going to the gym I pay for each month and never go to lol
Me too Mina! I have Planet Fitness and it’s only $10 a month not to go. Unlike that time when I was working and thought I would got to the $110 dollar place because it was expensive…I didn’t.

Maybe Teresa is taking kick boxing for stress relief. But, at first I thought the same thing. I thought Teresa was doing this so she is able to defend herself. Then when I saw her giving away pictures. I was like damn Teresa is preparing herself.
So in this episode we have Teresa playing the part of the average American Mom getting her kids ready for school…dog jumping up on bed; adorable daughter calling Mom from the kitchen; the rascally daughter announcing she forgot to do her homework (“Oh, Beaver! What will Miss Landers say?”);precocious teenager complimenting Mom for how she handled herself in court when pleading guilty for 9000 counts of fraud; and finally, little four year old daughter tarted up for kindergarten and using eyelash curler UNATTENDED!!
Next week Teresa will be wearing petticoats and pearls as she waxes the lino in the kitchen of her small, cozy used home’s kitchen.
I am surprised that no one from Jersey reports on Teresa et al to some blog. I get emails from RHOA neighbors all the time. I think it is because Tre’s house is on like four acres….and she doesn’t have close neighbors. Or maybe Jersery folks don’t gossip over the back fence like we do in ATL. :)

Lurker here – we do see Teresa, at Costco, around town, but aren’t going to report it (esp us Italians). We will report that the Wakile’s are famous for being dbags in the neighborhood even before they showed it on TV. Just not nice people – that we will report.
well that’s no fun. If you change your mind, EMAIL ME! lol.
I am guilty of thinking people ( like myself) who have survived (so far so good 🙂 ) cancer, want to move forward. Postive thinking helps to keep us healthy. For Amber to constantly talk about it (without being asked) tells me that she wants people to feel sorry for her. When she doesn’t get constant attention for “having HAD cancer”…then it would explain her inconclusive reports. She is definetly an attention whore who will forever hound those who know her, regardless of the status of said reports.
That is the point I’ve been trying to make, but you said it much better!!
I also feel like maybe her cancer was not as bad as she would like everyone to believe. Don’t get me wrong, any cancer diagnosis is scary. Cancer just in and of itself is bad, but there are stages, different levels of treatment. And as much as she talks about the cancer to everyone, the tree in the yard, the stray dog, etc… How did melissa not know about her original diagnosis? Cause it seems like she would have heard about it. JMO
Agreed.
Yay! I had tha cansah 20 years ago! Whohoo, FINALLY in the cool kids club!
loved Tre making a school delivery in pajamas. I loved her on this show/episode. She assertively told Amber to FO!
Proud of Bravo for tasteful production. Wasn’t too fond of her prior to this episode.
character development…I think.
It is obvious that Production is using dumb Amber to call Tre continuously to ask about her legal issues. Amber goes along with Production because she wants a spot on the show next year.
It appears the only interesting thing going on this year is the Santa and Rino rumor.
Bravo is dragging out this boring season big time.
Everything this season seems to be OVERLY scripted and boring and fake.
I hate to inform you that was only episode nine. It just feels like 29…

Commenting as a I watch the recorded ep. Watching Teresa drive her kids to school and looking at her pristine Mercedes upholstery, I’m thinking about the estimate I just got to repair some kid-related damage in our car. It makes me curious once again to see the Chapter 7 bankruptcy worksheets that the Giudices filled out re equity and value of their property. Usually one car per adult in household is what you keep but there can be issues when the car when there’s significant equity in a vehicle or owned outright. I’ve assumed these are leased but maybe not.
I wish they had to trade in these cars for real clunkers for a little more justice — used houses, used cars.
Wait, wouldn’t Teresa rather pay into her children’s college fund than a trainer? Hmm.
The trainer is probably no charge… Instead gets free publicity.
@Shellbelle: you may be right, it could be a freebie. But one would think they’d care about the appearance of this spending (car, trainer) b/c they want to convey remorse. Maybe they don’t see luxury vehicles and trainers as things that should be given up as they’ve cut down in other ways. Or perhaps they don’t care at this point; they’ll spend what they can while they can and complain about the children’s college fund for the camera.
They were not allowed to file bankruptcy because they are lying liars who lied. That is why they are going to prison. Eventually. Maybe.

I will admit that I do take my kids to school in my pjs, if a t-shirt, shorts, and no bra qualifies as pajamas. What I don’t do is put on make-up and do my hair. So as per usual with Teresa it is half truths. I love that she can multi-task because she has 4 kids, but two out of the four are going to school without homework done. 🙂 I can’t help but wonder if they aren’t feeding Gia lines this year to demonstrate what a great Mom Teresa is.
of course they are…:)
Im just glad that I am not a first time viewer and cant be drawn in and feel sorry for this seasons theresa.. I got to give her a round of applause for her role as “im just a normal sweet loving doting mommy”. Yall know its killing her I mean she even pulled the “awww gee whiz dina you know ive never cared about material things.look at my wonderful girlsthey are all I need ” from day one she worked her ass off to convince america she was “fabulous” andthis is how america repays her!!!! Now her and bravo have all that to undo and make us forget and create a whole person for us to love all in one season. I can only imagine how far they will take this
I think moped and a converted garage is in order.
Fab….put put put…you ….sputter….lious.
I have no idea if it is applicable to the follow up tests done for breast cancer, but I did have two inconclusive thyroid nodule biopsies. Big fucking bummer. The protocol for two inconclusive plus some other stuff I had going on meant I needed my thyroid removed so they could determine if there was cancer. I admit to being pretty anxious until surgery was done and labs came back. But I would not have turned down a trip to a beach! In fact I accepted new role with my company, moved across country in the middle of everything. All good, ‘the cancer’ wasn’t there after all.
And Gabriella Guidice is my favorite of the girls just because for years no one ever spoke to her or if her on camera and I imagined her being the lost middle child.
To her or ‘of’ her ….
I think Gabriella is possibly extremely shy or may have another problem and her parents decided likely to keep her off camera as much as possible.
I think if she had any sort of problem, Jac would have been all over that. I doubt that’s the case.
I don’t always comment, but when I do it because I snort/laugh at zingers like “waking up in the house that fraud built”. Totally overused Dos Equis saying- I know, I know. I can’t even watch NJ anymore- the squeaky screechy voices and fake wealth is just too boring- but I read some of the recaps (and ALL the hot trial tea) for the snark. This one was pretty hilarious- thanks for watching for the rest of us.
Is Urethra ready to recap AHS this season? I’m so terrified yet ready to watch. Bring on the plot holes and the freaky shit.
Just wondering if anyone else thought that the gal standing behind the lawyers as they spoke to the press looked like Dina. I’d almost swear it was her. Struck me as odd after her comment about not following the trial.
Rino was probably using those gloves because he was doing his colonoscopy prep and was probably running to the bathroom every 5 minutes. Bad day to be touching and prepping food, especially for others. As a guest, I would have been relieved he used those gloves, even if he meticulously washed his hands every time. But still…..Ick!
haven’t watched yet and idk if i wanna…don’t wanna see schnooze…i mean rino with a ding dong sock……….lol…yes i no amber hadTHE cancer…lol..and her shirt was fugly….and my daughter boxes and she is so buff too, i may have to start boxing…..tre has to buff for college ya no…gonna watch if on tonight
I say watch the first five minutes of Tre’s attempt at a redemption scene and watch something on demand.

Nicole is quoting SOCRATES in her blog! lol.
I haven’t seen any recap even mention this yet, but I have to say that the best malapropism of the episode goes to Amber. . . “It’s the start of the LENTIL season.”
That hideous house that Joe & Melissa are supposedly building is Chateau Sheree part 2. If they did manage to build it, who could they even resell that monstrosity to? Is Joe delusional? Also, the bigger the house, the tinier Joe looks.
Tre and Juicy can’t have it both ways. They put their daughters on TV for money, so they are fair game for criticism. I cannot stomach Gia and Milania who are on their way to being thugs like their parents. None of the kids are taught to take responsibility for their actions. The parents think their kids’ horrid, entitled behavior to be cute. Gia thinks she knows it all and Milania is a horrible little troll. Spoiled brats and ugly to boot!
I didn’t watch much of it but I watched long enough, unfortunately, to hear the gross person talk about his colonoscopy. Bravo has jumped the shark and it is just OVER for me with this whole network. We get disgusting George on New York, we get some creep and his colonoscopy on NJ which I almost never watch but watched just long enough this time to hear the gross play by play (never again), I was *trying* to watch Below Deck this season despite the new overcooked & inexplicably bitchy chief stew until tonight when we got a camera close-up of a semen stain on a pillow supposedly donated by chef Ben (or at least that is what Kate in her quest for revenge vs him & Kat is implying). I thought that was tasteless and it seems this crew is out to frighten the public into never chartering a cruise on a private yacht ever again. I think if Bravo doesn’t change things up it will tank within a few years.
Gabriella is a normal person. (shoulder shrug) What could Joe & Teresa do? Every whacked-out family has one. {PS–the line about Luke’s reason for moving….priceless!}
