Real Housewives of New Jersey Recap: Time For the Fake Jacqueline Scenes

September 21, 2014 by tamaratattles 202 Comments

RHONJ S6 CastIf you recall, when reports of Jacqueline Laurita returning to RHONJ came out, I told you guys it absolutely didn’t happen on August 8th.  My source explained that filming had long been completed and the stories were false.  Then a month later, there she was on the Bravo Site previews and I was gob smacked as was my source. I was then informed that in post production it was decided that the new people were bombing and unlikable so they needed for find someone to bring back. Okay, I can see that, but Jacqueline? Do they really think she is a fan favorite? I guess Caroline turned them down. Anyway, Jac had come back to film a week or two before I reached out to my source, in July pretending it was winter time. I’m guessing we won’t see any outdoor scenes tonight. This is one of the more ridiculous things that Bravo has done.

Sidenote: It looks like the reunion will be filming at the end of the week, on Friday if I recall correctly. That’s less than a week before Teresa’s sentencing. Look for her to be heavily sedated.

On with the show…

The girls are all head off to Boca Raton. How is that just a two-hour flight? Why am I not going there? The ladies are flying down by themselves and have all the usual luggage struggles. I guess that Teresa and Joe were not allowed to leave the state. The ladies are glad that Amber isn’t coming. The ladies arrive at a beautiful home to relax and bask in the sun.

Cut to New Jersey where it is snowy and dreary. We are shown a house with a for sale sign advertising a property with a pool and a spa. Teresa and Gia are looking for a place to move. Teresa says she is no longer skeeved by looking at other people’s houses. She is not materialistic anymore, y’all. Her priorities have shifted. Ah, nothing like a pre-sentencing burst of morality and frugality. The house Teresa and Gia are looking at is still beyond their means. What happens when she goes to prison will someone move into the house to tend the girls for those two months or so? Is this simply so Teresa can say she has a rental where she can do her house arrest? There is no way anyone would give her a loan, except for maybe the cocktail weenie if he really is still employed in the mortgage industry. The house is nearly 9,00o square feet. He is talking to her about property taxes. There is no way Teresa can buy a house in New Jersey. I just don’t believe that is possible this is scripted shit. The list price is $1.4 million.

Oh Gawd. Here we go with the cancer story. We are about to miraculously find out that everything is fine and the shit stirrers will be able to go to Florida after all. It’s a scripted miracle! RHONJ Jac texts Tre

Speaking of miracles, Kathy Wakile pulls into Jacqueline’s driveway. The trees are verdant, she sky is blue and not a snowflake to be seen. It’s a miracle!  I honestly didn’t think they would be dumb enough to do exterior filming in July and pretend it is March are whenever, but never underestimate the stupidity of Bravo production!  They seem to grossly underestimate our intelligence.

Of course the Jac and Kathy scene is scheduled during Nick’s treatments. I remember when the exploitation of Nick was the low point of RHONJ. And then Jim and Amber showed up. There was absolutely no point to this scene. I cannot fathom how production thought this scene was necessary in the slightest. Is there reason I am missing? Okay they flip back to this scene and start talking about Teresa taking the plea deal. Jac says she thought after the Arizona trip she and Tre were fine. But they never got together again. Duh, filming was over. Jac reads her scripted tweet to Tre out loud to Kathy. Jac is making it all about her. Kathy is trying to let her know Tre doesn’t need the hassle that is Jacqueline right now, but Jac is not receiving the feedback.

Back in Boca, the girls are lubing up their fake titties while given the pool boy their drink orders. The girls are having fun and they all have amazing bodies and cute two pieces. Later the ladies go shopping for groceries. Dina admits she is much better at setting a beautiful table than cooking.

Back in Jersey Joe Gorga is stuck with the kids. He is rough housing with them and getting them all riled up. He is one of those husbands that thinks taking care of his kids alone is “babysitting” not “parenting.” I like Joe but he does not parent his kids at all. It’s kind of sad.

While Amber’s bloodwork the first time took a few days to come back, but this time it is miraculous completed while she waits.  And SURPRISE! Her bloodwork is fine.

Kathy takes Jac to see her new house she is building with Rich. The thing I like about Kathy and Rich is they actually have jobs and as she says, they planned and worked to be able to afford their home. This seems like a novel concept in New Jersey, at least on RHONJ. Jacqueline is selling her house. They need money for Nick and all those legal fees. They need to downsize. Yet another person with legal issues who is suddenly frugal and wanting to downsize for the greater good of humanity. #eyeroll

Dina is having a hard time not telling the twins about the rumor Tre shared with her. Amber calls Dina and says she and Jim are on the way to the house. Dina is less than thrilled. She is worried that Amber is going to blurt out the nasty rumor about Rino.

Time for the touching family scene to make the Giudices look like June and Ward Cleaver. Juicy is in a suit and tie. Where was Joe all day in the suit? Was he in state court getting a continuance again? Who knows. Joe is talking about selling the house and buying the other house outright. THAT IS HYSTERICAL they have like $150,000 in equity in the house with millions of dollars of mortgages on the house. The will never get the $4 million they need to break even. Ever. And I love how Teresa says it would be a good business opportunity for them when her defense is she has no idea what they do with their money because Juicy handles everything.

Back in Boca, I must say the twins and Dina and Melissa are quite enjoyable, and they seem to really know how to cook with or without Dina.  The food looks amazing. All four are a bit drunk.  Now they are all revealing stuff about themselves. Things turn raunchy. It’s all in good fun.

Rino texts and says that is Jim is coming he is not. This trip is super fun to watch so far. Things are so happy and fun! Everyone is drunk. Dina, bless her heart, decides to pull Teresa aside and talk to her privately. OMG. No. I was just feeling the happy and things are about to take a turn. I mean really, Dina. What are you going to say um I just want you to know that Amber and Tre heard that your husband fucked your mother?  I don’t think this is even covered in the Countess’ book of etiquette. DON’T DO THIS DINA!

Dina tries to tell Teresa and she says if it is not about her personally, she doesn’t want to hear it. Good for you Teresa.

Ut oh when the four girls reconvene, Nicole says she wants to know. Everyone smartly decides to sleep it off.

Next week: Jim loses his mind and even Amber is pissed at him.

    As far as the reunion goes, it will probably be a big flop. Teresa Guidice won’t be able to speak on anything for fear of it impacting her case. I’m surprised her lawyer is letting her do it even if she breaches her contract in refusing to film the reunion. She’s looking at possible jail time. And even if the show airs after she’s been sentenced things could still get out in between now and then. The twins- well neither one of them is going to discuss the their mother having sex with Rino rumor. Most people want to be told what’s being said about them so they can defend themselves. The fact that Ter-essa freaked out the way she did at the mere mention that a rumor was circulating tells me she’s hiding something. She slso tried to deflect on to Amber. Nicole then tried to reflect onto Teresa G. Nicole seems like a bit of a live wire though so maybe she’ll have something to say. But either way “something in the buttermilk ain’t clean”. Dina had no storyline that I’ve seen yet this season. Neither has Melissa. No one wants to hear about Amber and cancer anymore. So, really what’s the point of the reunion?

      If this reunion is more than one episode, it would be surprising. This season, other than that rumor and the Guidices’ legal issues has been completely boring. I find myself watching more out of habit than it being must see TV…

    I’m sorry but I really don’t like Dina. I don’t despise her but I don’t see her purpose. If it was “to bring the Zen”, why in the world are you trying to repeat a rumor that you did not hear directly from the source? To cause drama and then say “I was being a good friend”. I don’t get it . Of course you are helping to stir the pot! With Caroline having her own spin off now, Bravo should just give Kathy and Rich their own show and scrap Rhonj. We will still be able to follow the Manzos, Walkilies, Gorgas, and Rosie that way. Honestly, I’m beginning to see the end of the whole Housewives franchise!

        I wasn’t a Kim Z. (Bierman) fan, but her show is surprisingly fun because it isn’t catfighting and Kim and Kroy (no matter how immature) are funny and set up ridiculous situations.
        Caroline and Al just wouldn’t be believable in silly situations–they just seem boring.

    All I know is that the twins must have something pretty bad they don’t want anybody to know. Both of them. Don’t know if it’s about one or the other or both. But they have something to hide. So don’t go on TV. I’ve never seen someone get so upset before they know what was said. They’re both going crazy. This is the way they over react every time. This cannot go well when Dina finally tells them what it is. Makes me wonder what they’re hiding. Maybe you can find out TT. It’s something. They’re behavior just makes me want to know.

        I’m not going to harp on this topic, I’m trying to get away from it, but I did notice tonight something Amber said. Very quickly, quietly. When she was getting the IV for the blood test, she said it had to be her left arm, because the surgery was done on the other side. This suggests she had lymph nodes removed, which means her cancer was fairly advanced.

        Once lymph nodes are removed, you cannot have blood pressure or needle sticks on that side…it puts you at risk for lymphedema. This is permanent.

        You can also get results from blood work the same day, but it takes a couple of hours.

          Her blood test was probaly the CA antigen test and sometimes the results need to be double checked. If she had a bilateral mastectomy, her left breast was removed to reduce her chances of getting cancer in that breast. 31 is very young to get breast cancer and I can see why she is so scared, but she is still a drama queen and I dislike her and her cocktail weenie of a husband.

        I agree, 5cats. Cancer doesn’t make you special, it doesn’t give you the right to use people and defraud people. She is still using this (I believe) to protect the cocktail weenie, and make him look like a “decent” person. They seem to think her ordeal is some kind of pass for what he has done to others for money. I’m sorry she went through this, but they are still horrible people.

      You know I was thinking the same thing. It’s like there is nothing that Bravo considers off-limits or too sensitive an area to bastardize. At this point, I feel an assist. I think Bravo is facilitating the farce -ification of cancer. The whole doctor scene was just as corrupt as everything else. And even more so considering.

    The fake cancer scare has really turned me off. Amber really did have breast cancer and the five year mark is important and could have been filmed in such a way as to educate especially with breast cancer awareness month 10 days away. But, no, Bravo went with the exploitation route and totally showed their behinds.

      No, you need regular mammograms. If you are at high risk like me you get mammograms and MRIs done every six months in addition to monthly self exams. There are certain markers in your blood but that’s not the only thing needed for a screening.

      Bravo has paid rent many times. The ALLEGEDLY paid Nene’s and Sheree’s on RHOA. ​Nene has yet to own a piece of property. If you hit the reality TV lottery, would you not buy a home in cash instead of shoes?

      Is that just me? As soon as I had a tiny bit of cash come my way, while I was working, I bought the shack.I did not make a down payment. I bought what I could afford. No mortgage. As long as I can keep the lights on, and you know cable and Internet. 🙂 My bag lady fears are assuaged. After almost four years of blogging, I can support myself off this blog (ads). On a teacher’s salary I had retirement plans, a Roth, some co-cola stock…a savings account I never touched (until I could not work and then live off it for three years). I’m not bragging. I live in a hovel. But it’s my hovel. Most of my retirement money can’t be touched which gives me a sense of peace.

      My point is, WHY DO THESE PEOPLE WITH MONEY all end up bankrupt? Why do morons wait in lines for a fucking iphone6? Why do people spend 15K on a purse? Why do men collect tennis shoes that cost over a hundred bucks a pair? Why do people spend $1000 on a pair of Loubs, notorious for being the most painful shoes in the world? Why do these idiots want to be on TV? Especially the ones with skeletons of the worst kind in their closets? I really don’t get it.

      I really don’t.

      We really need to start teaching financial planning in High School. Since when do families need 10,000 square foot homes? All of this excess is what is ruining the economy.

      LOL Suddenly I feel like Cher on one of her drunken twitter rants. Sorry. I’m just saying. Whatever happened to buying what you can afford and feeling good about yourself for doing so?

        These are all the reasons I watch the show; because these women are so obsessed with celebrity. Their egos go from above average inflated to complete narcissistic egomaniacs. It’s truly fascinating to watch, particularly the new entries to the housewives scene who should know that nothing good comes from joining (other than an inflated paycheck for a couple years).

        Exactly. I lost any remote crumb of sympathy I had for Tre when she was acting so noble about having priorities now, and knowing that it’s okay to downsize… to an 8K sq ft house. JEEEZUS. I might actually have enjoyed a show that had her and the kids living in 1300 sq ft and learning to live like normal people, within their means. I just can’t with this bitch any more. She hasn’t one ounce of humility or remorse.

        Hey Tre, You know what’s more skeevy than living in someone else’s house? Living in Cell Block Six. I hope you find that out.

        My partner came from money, whilst I came from a modest home, so this is a daily ‘struggle’ for me. He is used to spending as the money comes in, without concerns for savings or paying off a mortgage. I on the other hand am focused on savings and purchasing things that can easily be sold if money ever was tight (property, stock etc.). I believe that some of these people either never had to live on a low budget or have forgotten what it is like to struggle.

        My partner works hard with his business for his money, but it can be frustrating when large sums are spent on ‘fun’ activities/things without any concern for saving for a rainy day. He is a lot better now than when I first met him. So I guess what I am saying is that when I watch these trashy shows I can see how it is a slippery slope, and I’m glad me and my partner are wiser than those who spend big bucks on shoe collections (even though I am guilty of owning a few expensive luggage pieces, they have lasted me ages, and I travel a lot).

        This is it , summed up nicely. And it didnt take long at all (season one) to figure out most of the housewives and their lives were all fake. It was especially easy to see on Atlanta where Nene pretended to live in a sparsely and badly furnished rental she wasnt paying for.
        Housewives now in a very short amount of time has shown us what itsnt fake was either stolen, borrowed or comped……though mostly stolen.
        Andy and staff are excellent pimps who find stupid easily exploitable people who will do anything for a dollar. Then they put their well oiled :you are a star” pimp talk into play and these fools will do anything to steal, extort and fraud their way into more and more ugly houses, shoes and cars.
        Nene thinks she is a star, but what she hasnt figured out yet she is being hired so people can continue to laugh at her, make fun of her and ridicule her. They will use her up, then she will be back along side her loser kid stealing from Wal-Mart.
        If anyone believes that Tre and Joe can afford anything besides a movable pod to live in, a village is missing theid idiot.

        Wonderful post, and I agree completely, I too live the same way as TT.

        It was a disturbing scene to watch. Teresa and her tween Gia tour a HUGE home, speaking about it & looking at it as if it was a hovel. IT IS 8,000 SQUARE FEET & over one million dollars!!! It was huge and gorgeous and even has a POOL & a SPA! Talk about gross. That scene made me hope Teresa goes to jail. Not that I didn’t think she should before it but it CERTAINLY cemented it. REALLY? 8000 SF? It’s still too big! She said “Alls I need is a place for Joe me and the kids”. Well if “Alls you need” is enough space for 2 adults & 4 kids you could do that in a much smaller home, and without a damn pool. I lived in NJ half my life and summer in NJ is less than 3 months a YEAR how often is a POOL even used??? It’s not California or Florida or even Arizona. People with outdoor pools in NJ are very stupid & wasteful. Use that money for something you could be using more than 20% of your life. Tools. These people do not deserve an 8000SF home. They should be forced to rent a 3 bedroom apartment, like most other families in that tri stare area. Not a mansion!

        It’s the lure of fame and riches–it’s a powerful cocktail. It especially affects people who come from nothing and with a particularly low intelligence quotient. They are the most susceptible to losing their shorts for a little fame and glory and a little money for a temporary period of time. It has been “interesting” to watch how these newcomers come in ready for their 15 minutes and then over time they lose their minds, they change their looks (usually for the worse) and they become living characetures of real life people, they go to prison. The only qualifications required really is desperation and stupidity. Why else is there so much abundance of same. These people are the Real Desperate Housewives and Husbands. If nothing else, maybe this could be just another social experiment, but what have we all learned? I’m sure I’m just about through with all the RH shows. I’ll check out Atlanta in closing, but all the rest I’ve already tuned out. I need more Utopia.

        I’m with you. Financial planning would be a great high school course! (So would citizenship… But I’m off topic…)

        I got an inheritence, bought my house cash, didn’t touch any of the rest of it except to pay property taxes. I didn’t buy a 10,000 square foot house; I don’t see how they think that’s an investment unless you’re in a market like Beverly Hills, etc. Still not necessary, though. Ever. My house was a great investment, too, because it’s located near a university and I could rent it out to cover a mortgage on another house in the future.

        A bunch of boring info, but that’s called a “good business opportunity”. I nearly puked when Teresa and her daughter balked at the “awful” 9,000 square foot home with that like 1000 square foot master bedroom suite!

        What is the point of filming the Reunion half way through the season when Melissa hasn’t even seen next week’s episode? It eliminates most viewer input. If Teresa is in the slammer all that means is it is a one part reunion. Whoever thought it was a good idea to anchor this season around Teresa’s legal woes and this new RH Amber’s cancer needs to start looking for a new job. My guess is these same clowns want to anchor Season 7 around Teresa’s sentence and the fallout.

        How does everyone here have such first hand knowledge of what the Wakilies have? (TT excluded cause I know she does her research!).How do you know they did not save their $$ over the years so they could build the house? Just because someone has a few lawsuits does not mean they are crooks! After 17 years in the legal profession, I can honestly say some of the bigggest crooks out there are multi-national/international compaines. It happens often! Most people cannot afford to litigate, so often these “crooks” get away with it. I spent 5 months during the summer in Tennessee on a case that was so egregious, you wonder why some of the executives were not in jail. It’s pretty bad when the judge tells the lawyer “take your client outside and go over what perjury mens.” So be careful what you judge…you may not really know what the true picture is…..

Go on TV and people start hurling accusations for no good reason. So what, he was sued before. So what! That’s his personal business for him to deal with. No one knows the circumstances. Because vicious people are calling them names doesn’t say much. They need to get a life. From what I read, it all seems very unfair what is being done to them by onlookers who know nothing. Seems people think they’re supposed to hate on others who have had some kind of problem IF THEY COME ON TV. So overblown and unnecessary. I wish them well.

      It depends, Michael. Sometimes the judge allows you a little extra time to get your affairs in order. Sometimes the judge orders you to start immediately, they cuff you, print you and off you go.
      I imagine If Tre gets sentenced to prison she may be allowed More Time to make sure the kids are placed with family or friends, Although this should be worked out already.
      Maybe the judge will give her more time to find a suitable dwelling and time to move in. Maybe he’ll feel badly and let them put it off until the holidays have passed. Wouldn’t surprise me
      Oops just remembered the judge is a kind hearted woman that has compassion for mothers. Maybe she will give Tre house arrest and probation. Joe won’t be so lucky. But maybe they can send him to an alcohol abuse program in the Fed Pen like Apollo. Get some credit towards time served. Pfftttt.

        Yeah I was just assuming that since Apollo and Tre both have kids and their crimes were not violent that the Judge would give them a bit of time to sort out their affairs (find a home for their kids). We will soon see. It wouldn’t surprise me if Bravo films a lot of the process for a ‘special’ like TT mentioned earlier, or like the weird scenes filmed post Russell’s suicide.

          They will have a maximum of 45 days between sentencing and turning themselves in from what I understand. The actual time depends on a lot of things like available beds, locations, etc. ​

    Did anybody else feel it was inappropriate of Teresa to take Gia “house-shopping”. Under the circumstances the down-sizing should really be a grown-up decision. Once the decision is made, show the kids.

      She is a teenager now, so I didn’t think it was inappropriate. Plenty of families take their children to look at houses they usually have shortlisted. I think out of all the situations that Gia (and the other children) has been exposed to through this show, this for me was probably the most normal. When I was 15 I actually found the house that my parents now live in several years later. They took me to the real estate agents to shortlist houses and I got bored, snooped through the desk of the agent and found information on an unlisted property. One week later it was ours.

          ​Why Gia has to live there. Juicy is obviously on his side piece farewell tour (though much more on the down low than Apollo’s was). I don’t have a problem with Gia being there. I am much more upset by her discussion with her father about her “hairy grill” and the bra shopping.

          And really this is going to be like a divorce. Some women when they divorce unconsciously bring the kid into the spouse role. It becomes…. odd. And it does affect the kids.

        If I had to hear the Realtor say “of course it doesn’t compare to your current house” one more time… – He said it every single time they walked into a new room. Couldn’t he have just said it once at the front door upon entering? Good grief!

To 9000 sq ft.?! Poor Gia. Tre is teaching her children to be delusional but somehow I think Gia might prefer to be more realistic. She put Gia especially in a bad spot because she’s the only one who understands what’s going on. But she’ll be a tough lady one day.

    “Why would a doctor allow a cancer survivor to worry about potentialy bad bloodwork only to be like surprise, it’s all good, now let me get in on this group hug! …”

    There’s nothing fishy about it. This way the doctor got camera time and BRAVO got drama. Without need for storyline drama, Amber would not have to go for a followup visit, nor have Jim to tag along to hover over her. Her doctor or an intern from his practice probably would have called Amber to advise her that her blood tests all returned with negative results; she remains cancer free, etc. The soap opera drama, the office visit, suspense, tears and hugs were for all BRAVO’s sake (and to help secure Ambah’s future as a RHONJ).

    I did stop watching this mess because it was not entertaining me anymore. Toddler drama doesn’t even begin to describe the nastiness and immaturity that those new people brought with them.

    The only way Bravo could keep me from ever ever watching NJ again is if they brought back Caroline. Jacqueline I started heavily disliking when she confronted T over tabloids on her porch ruining their friendship, with you guessed it Caroline sitting right next to her egging her on.

    I always enjoyed T’s and Jacqueline’s friendship, it was housewives. If Bravo wants me to watch again they should come up with a storyline that shows how they mend their relationship and figure out it was that piece of shit Caroline that manipulated their pea heads all along.

I do not understnd why Tre flipped out about being asked, they were close at the time, Tre overreacted either because she was trying to maintain that she was fucking innocent, which we now know she is not or because it was being filmed. That whole scene was weird and just wack. Then Tre went to the tabliods herself making a mountain out of a mole hill.

This show really brings out the degenerates and crooks who want to be famous, and their hubris. For some insane reason, they think the world won’t uncover their secrets, now that they have put themselves on a nationally televised TV show.

        I agree that Rino may have told this tale to Victoria Gotti. He was separated or divorced at the time and he may have wanted to impress her with his ‘studliness’. Also, he probably didn’t want Victoria to think he was going to go back to his wife at some point. Remember how she talked about some uber-expensive gift he gave her while she was in the hospital? And she gave it back because she felt it inappropriate? He may have been pulling out all the stops to become Mr. Victoria Gotti. Just a theory.

He probably said it, it was just his out of control ego at that time, fueled by some booze and anger. And Victoria made it her business to bring this up now. She’s a cuntsatchel. But that might be too kind.

    I saw absolutely no point in Jacqueline’s return to the show and was shocked that she has blown up so much. I guess that sitting home tweeting and drinking wine tends to put weight on..lots of weight. The constant lying about finances was also ridiculous and I agree that Bravo has no respect for the intelligence of the viewers. Of course, if they had any respect for us they would drop these shows, scrap the boring format and ugly made-up rumors and cancer scares and re-cast this show (and most of the others.). I have no clue why I continue to watch this mess. Is it really possible that so many people can be despicable on one show? Was that in the requirements for casting…”you must be a liar and a thief to appear”. I can’t wait until this is over and I sincerely hope that by the time this mess returns (if it returns), that I can find something else interesting to watch. The VIctoria Gotti appearance (and subsequent rumor plotline), and the way it’s being handled is so obviously scripted that as is Amber’s so-called cancer scare. They made a big deal over her anguish and than the Doctor walks in and tells her that she is in “good health”. What was the point of the whole “Inconclusive test” thing in the first place except for drama? It insults people who really have reoccuring cancer and demeans their agony and fear. I also wondered if the twins were on uppers or coke or some other stimulant since they were talking 100 miles per hour and never seem to shut up. They talk and talk and talk and make absolutely no sense. This is the worst casting of a HW show…EVER. Everyone is either lying or boring.

      Um, Joe. It is NOT babysitting when they are your kids. It is called spending time with them. ☺

      I think Teresa is using Gia as her best friend, and Gia is too young. Teresa is right that she can’t trust anyone else, even Dina. I’m sure the tabloids offer anyone money that can say what life is really like for them right now. So Teresa needs a friend, and Gia’s it. Jacqueline’s text was just a way to try to find out what Teresa is doing now, to get over the objections of Dina about her, and get to information. Jacqueline is the first person that would sell her out to the tabloids, and Teresa knows it, has been hip to that fact since Jacqueline complained she wasn’t hearing from Teresa about Teresa’s problems.

    Did anyone think Jac might have had some more work done? Like on her nose? Or possibly was it just contouring?

    Either way, she moans that she needs money for her son’s treatment, and yet she’s getting plastic surgery (like the tummy tuck)? Sorry, you lost my sympathy. Priorities, Jac: work on them.

    How much did the realtor get paid to keep saying how much smaller each room vs Teresa house? So we can notice and feel sorry for downsizing? ?

      ​If that was the sellers agent he will be fired. And perhaps sued.

        Is there an apt on top of the pizzeria? If so, that is probably where they may be living.

        Agreed. And typically when looking at real estate that size/cost you have to show you have been pre qualified. There is no way they qualified for a loan, and unless it’s stashed somewhere they can’t have that much cash. This to me was a BS scene for Teresa to show she is trying to responsible, and going to live “with in their means”. Except it is a slap in the face for regular, hard working people who cannot live in a home like that.
        Just stupid.

          ​Exactly, I have rich friends with fantastic houses and cars and jobs and spouses and I am so happy for their success that the WORKED THEIR ASSES OFF FOR.

          Watching these people in the house that fraud built, the house that cancer patients bought, the house that how the hell can Joe Gorga afford that…bought is nauseating. I thought it very telling that Kathy Wakile basically said “unlike some people we worked and saved in order to afford this house.”

        Exactly TT. And I don’t understand why people are saying the Walkilies can’t afford to build a house like they are. I have no personal knowledge of their finances, but I think they have been smart with their money, it seems like kathy’s mom is stable and conservative. And even though Rosie lives with their mom (at least that’s what I remember) she seems to be sensible. Teresa needs to just stop it. I don’t think this crap story will affect her sentencing though, probably the judge already has determined the sentence. BUT, I could always be wrong!!

        I agree. I don’t know what he does for a living, but Kathy works her butt off. Have you seen the commercial she does for that culinary school?

        Teresa has all these cook books, but you never see her cooking. Kathy always seems to be in the kitchen doing something.

      I remember that comment Angel! At the time I rember my eyes rolling back in my head lol
      My husband and I don’t live anywhere above our means. Our oldest son just graduated from college, our youngest is a freshman in college, and we are NOT rich by anyone’s standards we were able to help. And when I was sick we had a decent cushion, and I havent been back to work. Hubby was in military now works at VA HOSPITAL, but clearly according to people like Teresa we are poor lol and really what grown woman uses the designer purse thing to insult another woman? So juvenile! At least Kathy isn’t waiting on a sentence to federal prison…

        I always thought the designer stuff with the big initials plastered all over it is rather silly. You are advertising their products for free.
        I hope you are feeling better, Melissa.

    I think Jac and Amber are going to clash. They are both prime examples of it’s all about meeeeeeee. No sense of empathy for anyone else. Jac’ s blog stating Teresa is not the kind of friend she needs right now.
    I can hardly wait for Amber to think up a way to compare The Cancer to Autisim.

      I think they will clash too. And they seem to be on the same level emotionally and intellectually so it should be interesting!
      Oh Lord, the cancer/autism connection, this will be interesting and infuriating!
      And thank you for the well wishes, nothing dramatic here.. Tests are good, hopefully will keep staying that way. Going in for some dental surgery this afternoon (ugh) which IS a side affect of me being on TPN and tube feelings plus treatments. It can totally screw other things up. So I will come home with some good pain killers and keep my mouth shut for the next few days lol at least I have TT blog to keep me entertained!
