It’s almost a bad idea for this show to follow Don’t Be Tardy because DBT is chock full of cute kids and this show has always been scripted. The fact than anyone ever believed the kids still lived in the house when this series started was ridiculous. I do like the show though. I just think it could be less..ridiculous.
The season previews look amazeballs! So funny.
We begin with Albie doing his daily positive affirmations in the bathroom mirror. Lauren waking up Vito, her finance who is sleeping over in Christopher’s rules. Caroline will not let them sleep together in the house until they are married.
Albie has apparently given up on the BLK water in order to sell plant fertilizer to pot growers in Colorado. This is making the nude girl car wash business plan sound like the best out of the bunch. I thought the boys opened a restaurant. These boys are the Sonja Morgan of New Jersey. #ToasterOven Albie is going to test his product on a veggie garden in the back yard.
Chris has a new apartment in Hoboken, that looks a lot like the one they boys have always lived in. I think we are supposed to think this is a new one though. He seems to be interviewing a new roommate named Rob. Or else they are just getting down the important rules like “no fucking chicks with the door open and have them out before morning.” Oh wait, this is a new apartment.
Caroline is worried that the boys are growing about. This sometimes happen when siblings are 45 years old, Caroline. Albie and his mama go to shop for plants for his science project. I’m going to bet that Caroline does his science project just like she has probably done all his life.
Lauren still has her daddy’s Amex. Nothing wrong with that at all. #DaddysGirl
The boys find out that they are part Scottish and we flash back to when Teresa said something about Caroline only being 1/16th Italian. Albie said, “who did the math on that?” and Greggy Bennett says…. wait for it, wait for it, this was before the whole prison, bankrupty thing…. Greggy says, “Maybe their accountant?” BWAHAHAHAHA. Greg Bennett, star of RHONJ and Manzo’s With Children, y’all.
I kind of love that Caroline makes soaps and potions. I make my own essential oils. Is that weird?
Kim is such a good mom. Overprotective? Sure, but she really is devoted. She invited Dina to the bridal shower. Caroline and Dina got together a while back and talked out their differences. Now Caroline is worried that the boys are going to…oh I dunno, be their own person?
Chris shows up at mommy’s to loot for kitchen essentials and paper products for his new apartment. Albie and Chris discover that Caroline is just freaking out because they don’t live together.
That was a cute show. And now I am all caught up on the things I slept through last night. Now if you excuse me I need to go trim my bush. Um, trim my bushes. My curtains have been closed for weeks and I can’t see out my window anymore.
hahahaha…great recap. Anything someone enjoys doing and finds relaxing is not silly in my book. I, too, thought that was the exact same apartment. I’d heard rumors they’d never actually moved out of it, but surprised that for storyline purposes that they didn’t change something.
Even your recap don’t make it appealing. And this is no offense to you either, Tamara.
Time out:
I mean, Tamaras recap are usually followed by fun commentary about the shows to make me want to watch.
Both Caroline and Kim Z are really great moms. It really comes across on their shows. They are both so proud of their kids.
Caroline looks fantastic.
I knew you would not miss and comment on Greggy’s remark. I too caught that and had a really good laugh. Remember how Teresa kept claiming that her remarks (jabs) were meant to be funny (insulting). Well who’s laughing now……
And Tamara. Seven posts in a row. All starting this morning….you go girl. I feel like I have just finished a big and scrumptious meal. Thanks. Now go and trim that bush (es). 🙂 🙂
Exactly, Riley! Well done.
I liked both the shows. It was fun. Nice to have some Bravo laughs on Sunday night. NeNe is right, Kim is good television. Shockingly I am liking the Manzos too. So hip hip Bravo!
Thanks so much! You have to be exhausted! Great fun!
Tamara, I know you’re in charge n everything but today is so hot. Trim those bushes later 🙂 y’all take care
Here we go. But as one of northern Italian ancestry, I can call bullshit and ignorance on Tre Giudice. Southern Italians especially, have so much mixed blood, that where she hails from (evidenced in part by that hair of hers-to say the least) includes blood of the Greeks, Turks, Spaniards, and those from the entire continent of Africa. Rome? A bed of mixed blood. PLEASE. Italians are a mixed race, centuries old. Has anyone heard of the Vikings?
“Mixed blood”
Who even says that any more?
#awkward
Oh grow up. What is the PC WAY FOR YOU to say you come from more than one culture, background, ethnicity? Enlighten me, Ms Awkward, or is it monoculture with blood? #fuck…-you are too cool and I’m awkward.
LOL kkbella – just wanted to stop by and give you an e-fistbump
So true! I’m one-half Sicilian – my dad’s cousin had her blood tested for ethnicity and it was an incredibly mixed bag. Sicily has a long history of occupation by other countries (and many don’t consider themselves Italian at all).
Greg Bennett was on? can’t believe I missed it
Your post is so over the place it’s impossible to tell exactly what you’re angry about (btw, I live in Montclair, NJ although I don’t what living in NJ has to do with anything). Your anger towards Greg seems misplaced.
I don’t understand why people choose to buy a home in a river community than complain about the floods….It’s like moving to Alaska and complaining about all the snow.
That happens down here in Texas, too, Sliceo’Pie. Cute name.
Some genius then comes on the news and says, “Yeah, this is the 8th time this has happened to us. We gonna’ rebuild.”
I have never watched this until tonight (simply because it was on immediately after WWHL). And I haven’t watched RHNJ for at least three (maybe four) seasons.
I am so glad I watched it! There were some very funny moments! Especially that Greg dude (I do remember him), and also when Albie called Chris to confirm the “SHE WAS A WHORE”! That was fucking funny!
Also, Lauren looks awesome! She has lost some weight and she really has a pretty face. And her huge dimples are adorable.
Anyway, never been a huge Caroline fan, but I must admit, I really like her now. She is a great mother…. Cares like crazy for her kids. It’s obvious.
So glad I watched this tonight! I’m going to keep watching.
And I think it’s so cool you make your own essential oils, Tamara! I use to have a friend who made her own essential oils and her name was Tamara, too!
Thanks @Pip for other/posts and comments. Going through a bit of a rough ride. Made me surprised and I giggled that someone gives a shit about what I have to say! Right back at you!
I distill my own essential oils too! I bought a small distiller and the guy was like you are the only person that has probably ever purchase from us that wasn’t planning on home brewing beer. I also make all my products. I want to know all my stuff is organic and safe! My body is my temple!
I’m not so ‘with it’ regarding other commenters here, but I was fortunate to take classes with my mom years ago on essential oils. We attended this “school” in the woods outside city limits ( complete with a composting toilet), funky instructors, lots of deep breathing, and learned the best recipes/tinctures/salves/sprays/oils ever. I used them with my children and beyond. Highly recommended for those who have a bit of the healer instinct in them.
@KK-
I think you are extremely “with it” and beyond cool.
I always love your comments.
xxoo
That sounds so interesting-I’d be totally into taking a class like that. I just had a massage and they used lavender oils from a farm in Up Country here in Maui-it smelled delicious.
I laughed that even though the boys found out they have Scottish from their paternal side, they made fun of Tre’s comment. Don’t get me wrong, she was dead wrong and rude as heck, but their “new” blood is from papa’s side, not mamas. Caroline could still be 100%! lol It was a nice change to watch a light hearted show. Love how Caroline runs around the house. : )
What is wrong with all of you blood people? No one is entirely of one culture except maybe a few aboriginal eskimos.

I thought Albie was going to the police academy? That was when they were still on RHONJ.
I hate to burst his bubble, but those pot growers have their own fertilizer mixes.
Are they going to explain what happened to the restaurant? Caroline was on WWHL and she didn’t mention the restaurant.
The restaurant is now closed at the original location and is under new ownership with a different name. I think they moved Little Town to a different spot in Hoboken. I thought the “boys” were still going to be connected to it, but maybe that has changed as well.
dina and kim bierman are friends? dina went to kim’s baby shower?
That was cute! Lol…You are spot on, Right on the money! I’ll give it to you Tamara!
