Real Housewives of New Jersey: Easter Egg Wives Hunt

November 14, 2018 by tamaratattles 50 Comments

I literally forgot this show was airing until I was sent photos today. Then I could remember if this was the first episode. Then I had the horrible flashback to the geriatric vaginal rejuvenation. Yep, it back and the Jersey kids have a snow day in March! Heck we are planting tomatoes in March down here. Plus it takes a lot of snow to get a snow day up north. When I lived outside of Chicago I walked to the bus stop in chest high snow uphill in both directions to get to school.

Margaret’s husband Joe is getting his ring finger tattooed with his wedding date. I think fingers probably hurt a lot. Margaret is designing hospital gowns for children. That’s a new one. Also, Margaret’s mom is getting a facelift and will be recuperating at Marge’s house. 

Tonight we get our first look at Jackie. Melissa has invited here over with her kids to hang out. Jackie has two sets of twins. Two boys that are ten and a boy/girl pair who are seven. Melissa’s basement is essentially a children’s gym. The kids must love that. The girl seems used to playing with boys toys. Jackie’s twins are as unruly as Melissa’s kids. So, naturally she writes a blog about parenting.

Gia, Teresa and Teresa’s father go to the nail salon. He’s getting a pedicure. I remember my sister and I taking our father for a pedicure when he was in assisted living and it was mortifying. I hope I don’t have to see his toes. Teresa and Gia are setting up the whole Joe doesn’t see his father enough storyline.

Dolores and Frank are flipping houses. Dolores is unhappy that Marge is friends with Danielle. Frank gives her sage advice when he points out it is only a matter of time before Danielle turns on Marge. Meanwhile Danielle is talking to Marge about Dolores.

You know what would be a really good idea for RHONJ? Some where in some production meeting somewhere took place where people actually decided to put the housewives in a room and give them all hatchets to throw. No really. This is happening. It was also determined that Dolores would be the token hostess of the event. Apparently, Danielle was not invited and she is pissed that Marge is going to go. Really? When did Marge and Danielle become best buddies? Danielle tells Marge that she is hurt that she is going to the party. She goes into full victim mode and also starts hurling insults like the only thing Marge and Delores have in common is a divorce caused by infidelity.

Dolores is the first to arrive at Stumpy’s Hatchet House. The ladies bring wine, because wine pairs nicely with hatchets. Teresa was unavailable because one of the girls had a dance competition.

Jennifer has recently moved in to a home she built with her plastic surgery husband. It has nine bedrooms and SIXTEEN BATHROOMS! How ridiculous. She has five kids. I do not envy her life at all. It seems dreadful to me. Just like the hatchet throwing. The only one who managed to make a hatchet stick was Dolores. Dolores tells Marge that she is Danielle is a professional victim.

Marge invites all of the wives to Oklahoma for her hospital gown thing. I don’t understand why you would need to go to Oklahoma for that but they did. That link is when I told you about the new housewives. Jackie tries the hatchet and lands a bullseye.

Jennifer’s Turkish husband is quite strict and is not happy with her going to Oklahoma. Really not happy. Neither are the kids. Her little girl, who is adorable bursts into tears at the news.

Teresa goes to her body building coach and has to come out in a very tiny two piece. She looks amazing, like a normal person. That is not what the coach wants. She wants her to be solid muscle and look like a man. She will get there. She has just over two months to do it. The couch threatens to quit on her if she hasn’t lost four pounds in two weeks.

I can’t with this facelift stuff. It just makes me sad. The surgery was about seven hours. Marge has to go to Oklahoma so Joe will be taking care of Marge Sr.

It’s time for Easter dinner with the Gorgas/Guidices. Joe’s dad goes straight in on him about not coming around enough. He even throws in a “fuck you” for good measure. Then he goes after Melissa for not spending time with him. He ends every rant with a scary Game of Thrones type, “SHAME!” I doubt this is making anyone want to spend more time with him.

Teresa fixed a huge feast and all she can have is chicken and asparagus. Papa Gorga starts to make a toasts but ends up crying. The toast was “happy Easter to my wife.” Wow. This is depressing. Way to bring down the room, Grandpa. Then Teresa asks Joe if he is going to start seeing his dad more. As Melissa points out, this is not the right time or place for that. Joe says he works all of the time all day every day.

The adults get ready to hide eggs. Joe is pissed that Teresa keeps bringing up not visiting his dad. Melissa and Joe want Teresa to support Joe. Melissa says Joe is a ticking time bomb getting ready to blow. Gia comes in to support her mother in the argument. Gia asks Joe to pick one day to make time for his father every week. Teresa continues to push it.

Next week, the girls go to Oklahoma! where the wind comes sweeping down the plain! Melissa and Teresa fight about Joe not spending time with his father. Lay off it, Teresa. You’ve made your point.

    i love Teresa’s dad and knowing he is now in the hospital with pneumonia after this was filmed really saddens me. it could be inaccurate reporting from the tabloids but it seems bad when you consider his heart issues PLUS his heartache from losing his wife to the same disease.

    if Nono does not recover from his current illness, joey and melissa will be crucified and rightfully so. i could tell tonight that he hates melissa just from the way he looked at her.

    Teresa is no saint and i hate defending her, however….

    she was the one that has cared for both of her parents all the way back to season 1, i just want Nono to get well

      I think it’s goid that Teresa has her daughter to back her up. The girl is almost 18 years old and has had to step in with single parents the last couple of years. You can’t expect her to be a grownup to help with the family but then she’s a kid when there’s a discussion in which she IS involved. Melissa has no idea what it’s like to be all alone with children. Joe needs to suck it up. He’s is a big spoiled brat! Just like Nonno is! Like father, like son. Both of them need to grow up and be men and quit being whiney little boys.

    Joe & Melissa remind me why I’ve always been team Tre over the years.

    First of all, every family is different. 2 weeks may not be a long time for some people to not talk to or see their aging dying father, but for the Gorga family, that’s unacceptable. Instead of all the back-peddling, excuse-making and blame-shifting, all Joey/Meliissa had to do was say: “I’m sorry.” But as we’ve seen with Teresa being wrong in the past, no Gorga can ever just say sorry and own up to their poor behavior.

    Teresa didn’t bring up the father thing. You know who brought it up? The father! And he continued to bring it up at the worst times. As far as I’m concerned, Tre bringing it up gave Joey an opportunity to squash it and say: “yes, I do plan on spending more time with him when work allows me to.” It really was that simple.

    Lastly, if you notice in all of the past fights between Tre and Joe, Joe is always the FIRST one to flip the Gorga switch by calling her out her name and escalating the altercation. Whether it’s “scumbag”, “bitch”, or in this episode “son of a bitch”, why is he always verbally assaulting his sister? It’s bad enough that Teresa’s own husband calls her a see you next Tuesday on national television.

    Ok my tre hugging rant is over. I’ll stay out of the comment section. LOL

        Cho, I totes agree… I also thought Tre was giving Joe an out – he could have just said, Yes I will make an effort. As annoying as Tre can be, in this situation, I believe she is right. What exactly is Joe too busy doing? You know as soon as the father passes, Joe will be on TV weeping and moaning over how much he misses him. So spend the time with him now while he’s around!

      My husband and I take care of his parents. They are 83 & 72 and we get absolutely no help from their other son and daughter in law. You begin to resent your family when they don’t help with anything or don’t take the time to visit. My in-laws have also loaned them tens of thousands of dollars they never got back. I’m not trying to be tit for tat, but we got them a 56 inch flat screen last Christmas, because of their sight and hearing. It was not to give them the best gift, or anything like that. It was making them comfortable and happy. They got them a Hillshire sausage and were mad at us thinking we tried to “outdo them”!!! And yes, these two ruined a party as well! I have my own version of all the worst Gorga traits in these two.

        Yeah this happens a lot. I totally get the TV my dad used to love Wheel of Fortune but there came a time in his assisted living that he could not see the letters or hear the TV. I really wanted to buy him a huge TV but he was irritated by the suggestion.

        Meanwhile a couple of my other siblings were trying to rob him blind. We didn’t find out until the execution of the will about one of them. He was removed as co executor and the money he took was deducted from his portion. Then he flew into a rage and told us we were all dead to him even though me and my sisters were not involved. Try not to let it get to that point. My daddy loved those Hillshire Farms cheese and sausage gifts. Perhaps your in laws are unable to do better and you could just go along to get along. There anger probably comes from frustrations or perhaps family secrets you don’t know about. Or maybe they are just dickheads. Try to be better.

          Oh, I am. I don’t say one word to them about it. My husband and I just complain to each other. We have someone oversee their money for us, so there are no issues. Their younger sister(who is in her late 40’s) has autism. She is the financial priority. All we care about is that she is taken care of. It will be hardest on her when something happens because she needs routine. Plus my brother in law and his wife have filed for bankruptcy and don’t some other things, where my in-laws explicitly say they can’t have access to any money. It all has to be done through a court appointed conservator per their wills. It’s better this way and hopefully that part will be drama free. I’m am so sorry that happened to you. Hopefully he will come around and see the error of his ways and you guys can reconcile.

              All my siblings are a lot older than me. They were raised together. I was not raised with them from like the age of four or five. When I was six we moved overseas and then a few different places in the US i came back to home base in the last year of middle school.

              So they older siblings are much more hurt than I am about the eldest. I don’t need to be told twice I am dead to someone. They’ve been told twice now,

    OMG-Tamara you kill me!! I also grew up in the North (outside NYC) and walked to school in the snow uphill both ways. Since we went to Catholic school the wind would come driving up our skirts. Instead of the plain. Oklahoma!! I just love that song used to drive my kids crazy singing that song!! As for the drinking, I usually don’t drink much anymore since 420 does it for me. I went on a sisters trip last weekend and got so day drunk that I had a spectacular fall leaving the bar and laid there hysterically laughing for like 10 minutes. It may have had something to do with the Valium I took for the plane ride, but I digress. Danielle, Danielle, Delores and Frank are so right about her. I was willing to give her a second chance, but she is batshit crazy. So sad about Nono, and fighting about it just makes me sad. My father died 35 years ago-what I wouldn’t give for just one more day with him. Okay, I’m making this ALL about me-time to stop. Thanks for the recap!!

    This is RHONJ and I don’t expect to be made to start feeling sentimental!! Of course Teresa is going to feel a certain sort of way about her brother ignoring their father for weeks on end. Pappa Gorga is old, frail and might not have much time left. Tre missed her mother Antonia’s last months (through her own fault) and its coming across like she doesn’t want history repeating itself. Joe and Melissa came off as cretins in all of this. It might not have been the time or place but if one of my parents / in-laws was visibly upset at my absence, I’d apologise and have some respect. I wouldn’t start laughing in my fathers face / making jokes or start screaming “son of a bitch” at my sister. I guess I’m just “old school” like that. 😆

    Bring on next week and hopping back off the Teresa Train lol.

      I think Joe was laughing when his dad was talking to him in the kitchen because Nono was a little tipsy since he was on his 2nd bottle of wind. Joe may have thought it was the wine talking.
      I hate to break it to everyone but it’s always the daughter/daughters that are the caregivers in families that have both sons & daughters. It’s just the way it is. Yes, Joe could call his dad every day or every other day. Guys are not usually good at this kind of stuff.

    Disgusted with Joe Gorga in the way he totally turned his Father’s request for more time into a bitch session about Teresa. FFS, when he’s gone we don’t want to watch a season of Gorga crying because he regretted not spending more time with him. You only have one parent left, time with his is precious.

    I thought Theresa looked soooo good! I was thinking her face looked healthy for doing a body building contest, and her over all skin is really beautiful, from head to toe. I dont like the extreme masculine look of female body building anyways, and I guess I dont get it either. I dont see why they cant embrace some of the feminine form, since nobody appreciates that look on a woman. It allways looks like they should have a bulge in their swim suit.
