I’m hoping this was taped after Teresa’s sentencing. I hate how this “Live” show is never live. I haven’t watched SNL since the 1980s and so I have no idea who the other guest is. Or the bartender so let’s pretend like they aren’t there.
Andy asks Caroline what she thought of the boys calling her the red angry bird. Caroline says she’s really not that familiar with Angry Birds. Andy tells her she does sort of look like the red bird. Caroline pretends to be hurt. Andy says it’s a compliment. Then Andy brought up a frankenbite from tonights RHONJ where Dina says she is “the Caroline of the trip.” I don’t believe Dina said that for a minute. I think they could have pulled that bite from her previous seasons. Caroline says she’s not sure if she mean she was boring or a bitch, but she is happy with Caroline.
Oh I know who that chick from SNL is not that they played a montage.
Andy brings up the sentencing. Caroline says she is blow away by the whole thing. It’s so much bigger than housewives. It’s so life changing for that family and those kids. Andy says when RHONJ first started, there was a group meeting with production and all the cast of the show and Joe Giudice asked in that meeting, “Has anyone ever been indicted as a result of going on the show?” Wow. Um red flag perhaps, Bravo? He asks Caroline if at that point she thinks that meant there was something in his past? Caroline just says for the sake of the girls she hopes ever keeps their opinions to themselves on social media. I assume she means the cast. Because this is not going to be left off social media, they are talking about it right now on TV!
Andy brings up the prediction that Caroline made about Teresa. She said that something may happen where someone has to go somewhere (implying Juicy would be in jail) and Teresa will divorce him. He asks if she stands by that prediction. Caroline says she is going to keep her feelings to herself. This is not the time to discuss such matters. This is not a time to laugh or gloat or say I told you so. Caroline says bad this is sad, this is not funny.
Caroline was asked what work she has had done. Caroline said if she had work done she would look better than this. She has lost some weight and she is happy and at peace. Caroline says the Bravo photos are heavily airbrushed. Yes they are. Especially the ones for The Shahs of Sunset.
They play a clip from Teresa and Joes interview tomorrow night. Teresa said at one point in court her hands froze up and she could not open or close her hands. Joe says he did not think Tre would get time he cries. As of the filming, which was on Friday, they had not told the three younger girls anything. I could make a case for not telling them until January, but sadly they will find out at school if they don’t tell them. I can see Milania decking a kid who comes up to her and tells her mommy and daddy are both going to jail.
Someone calls in to ask Caroline when the kids will support themselves. Caroline says they all do. They all have their own businesses. Plus what she can’t say, they are all getting paid very well for doing the show. Plus they were all getting paid for RHONJ. These kids are not poor. She also can’t say that they don’t really all live at home, that is just for filming. I do think Lauren lives at home now though until after the wedding. What Caroline does say is that is the biggest misconception that her kids don’t work.
Caroline says she loves watching RHONJ, and her feeling is better you than me. Someone calls in and asks if she still shaves her face. She does. She says it is great exfoliation. She literally shaves her entire face. Her skin looks great, I must say. The play a game called Is it heavier than Caroline’s boobs? It was dumb.
And that’s it. There was no poll question.
I wasn’t planning on watching the show, but it just sort of snuk (sp?) up on me during RHONJ (I thought it was a commercial break). But… I really, really liked it. I forgot how funny her kids and Greg are, I love their banter. The show fills a void I’ve been feeling with the new season of RHONJ. It kind of felt like seeing an old friend. I will continue to watch!!
I agree. It’s nice to have light fare to watch compared to pending news about a Federal trial and pursuant prison sentences and hpw it will impact innocent children, then an aging “mob princes”, as she once called herself, spreading salacious gossip for some camera time, and a hateful and vengeful self-important punk husband creating conflict and ill will through repeating that rumor and making claims which are intended to create conflict and division.
There is a DRASTIC positive difference through introduction of the Manzo show, and I for one appreciate it.
Oh, I guess snuk is not a word, but I’m sure most of you already knew that, m bad! lol
snuck certainly is , n bad
meh. I’ve never understood the need for a c and a k anyway.

I’m just saying. Why is it fuck instead of fuc or fuk?
Gotcha. Since you asked, it evidently is an improvised spelling from the language from which the term originated …”Origin: 1495–1505; akin to Middle Dutch fokken to thrust, copulate with, Swedish dialect focka to copulate with, strike, push, fock penis” (Dictionary dot com)
Dina said that “i am the Caroline of this trip” while they were getting in the hot tubon 5he yacht. I was surprised to hear it
She supposedly said it. Bravo is know for frankenbiting where they splice things in they did not say. When the do that they do not show the speaker talking. I am just guessing, but I have a feeling they took that from something Dina said on her previous season. Or all they really need is her saying “Caroline” from that season if she said something like “I am the partypooper of this trip” all they would do is edit out party pooper and edit in Caroline. Dina has been pretty adamant about not saying anything about Caroline at all. It’s the sort of devious thing Bravo would do.

I feel taken by Bravo. I DO NOT WANT TO WATCH MANZO. When I went to finish watching RHONJ O got Manzo crap. I hate Manzo.
While I love the show, I HATE how Bravo and some of the major networks do this crap. I could not tape Madam Secretary tonight because the forced The Good Wife onto it in the same way Bravo did. I like the Good Wife but that slot is already taken by Anthony Bourdain. And NO SHOW IN THE WORLD will take priority over my imaginary husband, Tony.

I hear ya, what is it that makes Anthony so attractive. I’d even deal with his smoking, because he’s ‘smokiin’ .
Tamara- do you know if they do this just to get people to watch, or does it influence ratings? It drives me mad when I have to DVR two hours of a one hour show and overlap something else because of this crap.
It counts towards both shows ratings. It’s done with a new show after a popular show so that the new show gets credit for the popular shows ratings. It’s disgraceful.

I was wondering why it didn’t show on my dvr for the actual scheduled time. I had to manually set it to record it earlier in the day. I hope I don’t have to go in weekly and check but I will if needed because I loved it!
I know. They are really shooting themselves in the foot. I don’t think I even have a series recording set up for it because of the two hour block thing.
Same with Madam Secretary and Good Wife. I’d try to DVR those if I had room. These two show are also screwed by football on the station immediately proceeding.
I’ll never understand the need to put EVERYTHING against each other on Sunday night.

I checked and starting with the next episode, Manzo’d with Children does have it’s own listing so you need to set a series recording!
Ugh that makes me angry that it counts for ratings. It actually has an opposite effect on me – I get so offended at the pushiness of FORCING me to DVR it that I will be less likely to catch the show later.
He’s mine. Mine. Alllllll mine! Hahaha!
A sexy guy who cooks…..sigh
I’m with you. Bravo needs to stop trying to FORCE things on viewers. This is a novel idea: if they had good programming, they wouldn’t have to try to trick viewers or force numbers.
I know Tamara is a hardcore Caroline lover. I don’t hate Caroline, I’m simply not interested. I really do hate watching Jacqueline. It makes me uncomfortable and it’s also boring
But but but, it’s only briefly that she’s on and she makes fun of herself! (Jac that is) 😀
Did you catch what Andy reminded Caroline about regarding Joe and Teresa’s employment interview ? “Has anyone ever been indicted for being on one of these shows?” Or something like that. Little shady? I’m think Joe knew his skeletons would come out but all Tre could see was the “fame”. I also didn’t like what Tre said to Andy in the promo when he asked what they said to the girls. She said that haven’t told them yet. What are they waiting on, for the girls to find out from their friends?
Are you serious? Did you even read the blog? That is so rude to TT. She writes great blogs, and you don’t even take the time to read it. Read the blog the answer to your ignorant question is there….you don’t even have to read very far.
Exactly. I understand the “OMG CAN YOU BELIEVE THEY SAID THAT?!?!” but to rush to comments and ask the question when it’s clearly mentioned in the blog post is just stupid.
I’m sorry I offended you so much! I think I may have only read part of it by accident. I’ve been battling a viral infection for 3 days. I was in the emergency room with a 104 fever, low blood pressure, and dehydration. This morning when I wrote this, I was up with a with a 103 fever and incredibly nauseous, again. Maybe my blood pressure was low again. It will make you confused. But I guess that is not an excuse. I guess I’m just an illiterate moron who likes to go around insulting people. I think Tamara is perfectly capable of chewing me out if she wants to. In fact, I believe she can ban me. But once again I am very sorry to have insulted YOU! BTW, I like this site b/c there usually is not a lot of commentators bashing each other.
Thank you, Sandra. It’s the next day and I’m thinking…..did that information fall out of the post? Sometimes WP eats stuff.

I swear Tamara I do not remember it being there but I tend to do stupid things when I have high temperatures!
The comment about not telling the younger girls made me think of a story Victoria Gotti told about finding out her dad was in prison when she was young (looked to be 2nd or 3rd grade). Her class had to write a report about who they look up to – most kids picked their dad and she did too. When she said her dad was in construction, a kid yelled out “no, her dad’s in jail!” Mrs. Gotti had been lying about it saying he was there building the prison but she realized the kid was right at that moment, and she was so upset she peed on the floor in front of the class, and her teacher made her clean it up while the class watched. This broke my heart and obviously made a huge mark on her, I really hope Teresa comes clean with them soon and the poor Giudice girls are spared this kind of cruelty. I agree I can see Milania going all Tasmanian Devil on a kid…
Did you actually read the post I made above on this topic? I’m just curious.

“There’s usually not a lot of commenters bashing each other”. Are you that really that new here to believe that? HA. Too funny. And two of us commenting on your lack of reading skills isn’t a lot of commenters bashing each other.
First of all, I really wasn’t addressing you. When I started typing, your comment wasn’t there yet. What you said was not as offensive as Sandra’s. And I was like WTF happened when I saw it myself! Now addressing your comments, compared to a lot of other sights, yes there really are not that many bashers. I believe that Miss Tamara keeps it from getting out of hand. As far as two comments “being a lot of commentators”, I was not referring to the two specific comments address towards me. That line was a dig. Perhaps there is a dialect difference in the way we phrase thoughts or perhaps maybe you should work on your comprehension skills. Curious, did you read Tamara’s comment above?
LOL You must be new here. No TT doesn’t general keep anything from getting out of hand. We aren’t preschoolers that she has to watch. Maybe reading her commenting rules will remind you of that…or not. I comprehend things just fine. Funny, you want to attack my comprehension skills when I wasn’t the one who can’t read an article before commenting asking if something was noticed, that was mentioned in the article. Oh right, you’re sick with fever etc. Poor thing. Feel better soon.
Oh and yes, if any comments are ever read by me it’d be TT’s. She has the best snark and often gives even more tea in her comments.
As I said, I never really was “attacking” you. Just pointing out the obvious. Would you like to contribute to my emergency room bill? It’s only $500. Woohoo Obamacare in action. I can send you a copy. Plus as far as snark, shade, and tea goes, I really don’t participate in any of them much. However make an insulting comment to me, of course I’ll speak. So why does Tamara have commenting rules? And, once again, you proved my point about your reading comprehension skills. Did you read Tamara’s post above?
And again YOU proved your lack of reading skills. Tamara provides the tea, some times extra in her comments is what I said. Nobody asked if you ever participated but thanks for volunteering the info that you don’t. Also since you need clarification, YES I read TT’s comments above. I read ALL of her comments on this blog page.
WTF do we need to know the amount of your hospital bill? Nobody cares.
Apparently you like being snarky about my illness -I mentioned my illness only to explain how I could of missed half the post! Thanks goes out to Tamara for enlightening me about World Press because I swear parts of it wasn’t there. I’m glad I could make you slightly relevant today! Bored now … be gone…. go back to your kissing up.
Back to my kissing up of who? I don’t kiss up to TT or anyone. I do respect TT’s work. I was actually not being snarky when I said get well soon but whatever. Oh and I don’t need you to make me relevant. This is the internet, nobody is relevant here.
I like the current Caroline. Seems so much happier, now that she got the RHONJ monkey off her back.
When NJ housewives was in pre-production, the show was suppose to have a Soprano flavor to it. You know the Tiny Manzo story but for whatever reason it changed direction. I’ve heard rumors why. So at that meeting I bet Andy was grinning ear to ear, knowing darn well shady dealings was going on in the construction business. And Andy didn’t anticipate the Tre huggers either. Caroline was a class act last night on Andy.
I like that Caroline, as expected, took the high ground. She made the comments that we all know she made and isn’t going to gloat now. Too bad those that dislike her would never admit she has class and did the right thing on the show.
I would argue that taking the high ground would have been not commenting on it in the first place…but I guess if I was on reality TV I would talk a lot of shit too, so I can’t condemn her for having an opinion. Saying I told you so now would look pretty bitchy of her considering she has a spin-off show and Teresa is going to jail, so I’m glad she didn’t.
So I guess you didn’t see the show or read the post?

Hmm…I did both…what did I miss?
ZenJen, a very interesting comment.
It must have been during one of Andy’s sessions of grilling the Giudice’s in the past that he mentioned then about Joe asking telling questions regarding indictment. I know I heard this before. So much confirmation of their stupidity is astounding.
I bet Caroline passing on the opportunity to say “I told you so” was hard for her. It was obviously a planned decision to take that stance. While gracious of her, I think it would not have been received well by some potential viewers of her own show if she had taken the low road.
I bet it was (kind of) hard for Caroline to pass up the opportunity to say “I told you so” too. I still have that “blubber, blubber, blubber” comment Teresa said to Caroline in MY head!
Karma’s comment was not on my view at the time I said my piece, which is fairly redundant now.
Caroline did keep it classy. I loved her on season one, and this show may bring her back there. The BS on RHONJ really got to her.
Actually, Caroline did “keep it classy” when Andy asked her about her prediction about Joe ‘going away’, Teresa divorcing and making it on her own. Caroline could have fairly taken credit and gloated, but she instead stated she was more interested in the Giudices getting through this.
You know what Tasos? I am enjoying watching the Tre huggers scramble while hating Caroline for having her own show. Why doesn’t Tre have hers?
Oh yes, Caroline has her own show and Tre has a federal prison sentence!
So I liked Caroline and they liked Tre.
It makes sense. Some of us are gutter whores who idolize table flippers and some of us are normal people.
That said, I have no faith in society for anyone liking normal people. OTOTH I have millions of readers…
You can congratulate me at an time.

Tamara love your blog posts so much. I couldnt wait to click on this morning to read them before I went to work. I gotta admit I wasnt excited about Carolines show but actually enjoyed it . I expected nothing less than a class act on WWHL . She is a true reflection of a NJ Housewife. While the Guidices broke the law and will be going to jail its just not something to gloat and take delite in like Kim G and Danielle Staub seem to be. Its a damn shame for the kids who will be the ones to suffer. Teresa seems to me to realize they screwed up big time and yeah its too late now to make it right. At least she can find comfort in the judge letting them serve seperatley to take care of the kids.Some people have to fall really hard to realize what really matters in life and it sure aint material things.
Teresa,realizes no such thing. She realizes she “didn read the paperwork “before she falsified it to the bank.’ Liar
