It’s the dreaded double recap night! I am starting to feel a bit better so hopefully I can get through both. On tonight’s RHONJ Recap, we need to wind up this cast trip I don’t even remember where they are. Oh, Jamaica. How could I forget?
Delores is annoying as hell and I think the doctor is starting to figure that out. I’d be running for the hills if I were him. She’s still pissed at Jackie from the night before. Girl, let it go. The ladies all go to swim with the dolphins. I am not sure if I would do this. It’s not an activity I would select from a menu, but I’d do it if I was with people who wanted to I suppose. Now shopping for souvenirs? That’s my thing. Eating and drinking at the beach is also my thing.
Gossip Girls (And Guys)
Dolores and Teresa go to a spa and trash talk everyone. Jennifer and Margaret go shopping and talk about Jackie’s eating disorder. Melissa and Jackie have food and drinks at the beach and talk about Dolores, Jennifer and Teresa.

Back in Jersey, Frank and Dolores’s doctor boyfriend go out to dinner. They talk about the house that Frank is building for him. And then of course they talk about Dolores. Frank says Dolores doesn’t plan on moving into the house unless she is engaged. Then he basically asks what the chances are of Dolores moving in the house. David says Dolores can’t even agree on tile. These two are a long way from a ring. Later, when Dolores is back, she argues with Frank about landscaping the yard where they live. Frank wonders why she cares if she thinks she is moving out. Dolores keeps swearing she is thrilled with her life.
First We Get Toasted
The first big bombshell is dropped by Teresa. She is still in touch with Danielle who has shared that she and Marty are back together. WTF? She is not really back with Marty. She told Teresa that she and Marty had sex. Nobody believes this. This news a month after Danielle was claiming she was marrying a prince. Danielle is a liar. This scene reminds me of how long ago this was all filmed. Bravo and production were both upset with the footage this season. This is going to be short recap because it is FULL of flashback filler.

Dolores and Teresa believe Danielle. Margaret calls Marty and he denies it. Now everyone except Margaret believes Danielle. Margaret told Marty he was with all the girls. Right after they hang up, Danielle calls Teresa. But when she finds out she is with all the girls being filmed, she refuses to talk about it and hangs up. GUILTY AS CHARGED. Those salads look great. I got side tracked and haven’t been able to eat today. I am going to have to eat after this and before RHOD.
Then We Get Roasted
First of all, I am coming around when it comes to Jennifer. I liked her on WWHL this season. She’s smarter than I gave her credit for. Her impersonations of the ladies was meant to cause drama but everyone seemed to take it well. I do feel like making fun of Jackie’s eating disorder was out of line. The rest were just the right level of snarky and spot on. There were no hard feelings. Even Jackie was having a good time. Suddenly, Delores offers an olive branch. Jackie accepts it. What the hell kid of last dinner is this? This never happens! They all …oh wait. I was just typing they all acted like adults. And then, Teresa starts breaking glasses. SIGH.
Crime And Punishment
Something the Bravo felons never thought about was getting caught in their felonious activities. The last thing on their minds was what happens to the kids if mommy and daddy go to prison. They were lucky a judge let them take turns doing their time. Now the baby, Audriana has very little memory of her daddy. They are paying the biggest price of all.

Teresa and all the girls sort through family photos. Audriana cries becausse she doesn’t remember most of the photos. More flashbacks to Joe leaving.
The shocking end of this episode is not shocking at all if you read Tamara Tattles. I have been telling you this since 2016. Iosted multiple times when other sites seemed hopeful that Joe would stay to say he would not. See all of those posts here. The law is the law. That is something Joe and Teresa still do not understand.
So when creepy lawyer guy, Jim, shows up to break the news to Joe Gorga and Teresa that Juicy is never coming home, it’s not news. Teresa has been in talks with a divorce attorney since January of 2018. She’s moved on.

Teresa said she told her two oldest girls but Milania and Audriana don’t know yet. Jim tells Teresa and Joe that his final appeal will be denied. Again. I knew this in 2016. Joe Gorga says why pay for the final appeal and all the lawyers again when he has no chance. These lawyers are raking in the money and they also knew in 2016 that Joe wasn’t coming home. I don’t have a crystal ball, I just talked to an immigration lawyer. That said, I like that Teresa is throwing good money after bad though. She doesn’t deserve that money.
Next week is Easter and more people bashing Jackie’s eating disorder. And another holiday without their father means more tears at Easter dinner.
Surely, Teresa must have had some idea that what they did was wrong? Yes, I know she keeps pleading ignorance, even while she’s still trying to convince us she writes all of her books. Maybe she didn’t realize all that she and Joe were doing, but I have such a hard time believing Joe just coerced her to “sign on the dotted line” while she had no clue those were falsified documents.
I usually have compassion for folks, even those who’ve made mistakes in their lives. But in this case, they still seem to show no remorse and plenty of drive to capitalize on their crimes. For that reason, I just can’t hug this Tre.
I truly think she is just that dumb.
BS! She’s not THAT dumb. She’s ignorant but not stupid. She didn’t realize that she had fake W-2’s? She’s a liar and now she kept her daughters away from Joe and they don’t remember him. She’s a POS and deserves to rot.
how did SHE keep her daughters away? He had a longer jail sentence than she did. I am not a Teresa fan but they were BOTH guilty.
She never took her daughters to see him and now Audriana doesn’t know him
This. It was telling that the girls never saw him in jail. I could see a father making that choice but Audriana doesn’t remember much at all about him.
I am conflicted as to whether or not Audriana should have seen her father in prison. If Teresa truly felt he would not be deported, I probably would not have taken her either. In fact even if I knew he was being deported, I might not have taken her. That’s a bit traumatic for a young kid. I can’t fault Teresa either way for that. There is no good answer.
So what is known about the girls visiting? Did any of the four visit? I had read Teresa did not visit or only very rarely. I thought I read that Joe’s family had taken the girl’s to see him. I dont think I would have let Audriana visit him in prison.
She not only produced fake W-2s (that Joe made allegedly) but she went to interviews with Joe and gave statements about her employment that she did not have to multiple banks.
She met with banks to accrue loans where she gave false W2 forms and said she was an interior designer to one bank and a realtor to another or whatever. She went IN PERSON. She had charges that Joe didn’t have. They both knew exactly what they were doing. They would have probably gotten away with it until they declared bankruptcy.
where is all the money coming for all these appeals? Teresa can’t make that much.
Oh yes she can. She making good money on RHONJ, she makes good money off her Nu York Best Seeler books. She gets a shit ton for appearance fees…
Sadly going to prison was profitable for her illiterate ass.
I really hope when she divorces z joe she has to pay him half the house or sell it.
I see that the running theme in this episode was making fun of someone for an eating disorder. That great. What a hilarious thing to pick on someone for! Also, I am not a huge RHONJ follower anymore, so I don’t know if this is an alleged disorder or one that we know of for a fact. Either way, its a bunch of BS that these women are coming down on Jackie for it. It wasn’t funny when they did it Rinna either. And, as Rinna proved with her daughter, there are serious consequences for people who struggle, to see it blasted like a joke. Stupid RHONJ. I like Jackie. I like Melissa. The rest can rot.
Oh, and I saw a tiny bit of WWHL with the sneak peak for next week. That looked so sad. I think Gia seems like a good kid. Despite her parents. The advice Joe was giving her was so heartbreaking but completely right.
Have not watched yet. But I am baffled. Theresa and Joe had to know what they did was wrong. How could they not?
Joe had to know he was being deported. That said, what is the big deal? The man is alive, and will probably become healthier with all the exercise and good food. The girls can go live with him if they choose. My lord, it’s Italy! What a great place to enjoy a different way of life.
What those two did to their family is criminal. Nonno needs to give them a good old school scolding
I look at his Instagram. He is having a blast and Italy is beautiful! He has plenty of family and friends, is out all the time.. good food, good company, music. He has a better life than most of us.
Also, the girls will visit him a lot. He will never be lonely. Probably has a girlfriend by now as well.
No one will ever convince me that Teresa wasn’t in on all the crimes. She knew it all!! Just because she’s not that sharp, she is still capable of all that she did. She has a lot of nerve to blame all of this on Joe. She doesn’t deserve to be living the rich life.
I feel bad for Nonno, he is cute!
Jennifer’s growing on me. But, I agree, don’t make fun of an eating disorder. I watched a few episodes. In one episode Jackie said she forgot to eat, Jennifer said “I wish I could forget to eat.” That’s not making fun of Jackie and that is when I started to like Jennifer. I can relate to that comment. I love food, but I don’t eat carbs or sugar to stay thin.
However anyone feels about Danielle, that scene about her and Marty was so wrong of both Teresa (for blabbing) and Marge for calling Marty. It’s none of Marge’s business. What 60 yr old calls and inquires about someone having sex? I don’t even care if Danielle lied about it, she lies, we know this. Just be adults and butt out of their sex life or lie of a sex life, who cares if it’s true or not.
Teresa’s kitchen looked off. (It’s my thing with HW’s) I need to look into this. haha I really liked her pineapple decors though.. I think they are jars or just decorations. I’ve only seen one of hers, I guess she got more. She had about three or four. I want the white one.
Teresa and Joe were also almost charged with perjury after individually signing and submitting their financial disclosure forms to the court omitting that they had purchased new cars , home furnishings, equipment and other assets in the preceding months . This incensed the Judge who told Teresa that she had no respect for the law . It also exposed Teresa’s previous claim of being totally ignorant, as a sham. Teresa continues to deny responsibility, is unapologetic and sends the wrong message to her daughters .
I noticed on the previous episode that production kept panning the cameras to Jackie’s plate throughout the dinner scene. They were doing it again on tonight’s episode. Setting up and supporting a shady storyline about someone’s eating disorder. Lowbrow.
I feel sorry for Joe and Teresa’s girls. It did bring tears to my eyes during the scene looking at pictures and again when it showed Gia in the previews for next week. As far as Tre and Joe, yes, they committed the crimes and deserved the time. As far as the girls though, I wish it were a case of Joe did his time and could come home. It’s so sad for those kids. It does annoy me the blame game Joe & Tre play though. She blames him for her serving time. Then, tonight it showed Teresa saying Joe was blaming her for not doing his citizenship papers. They do not have accountability.
Teresa is annoying, telling people what they should or should not say, she needs to pull that stick out if her ass and get off her high horse, if someone doesn’t have the same option as her she starts with her nasty mouth. Getting mad at people if they said jail instead of they went away. Please. You was in JAIL. I feel bad for her sister in law who she will always treat like crap.
…and the both of yous did the crime. Yous are so fake!
It annoys the hell out of me that Teresa will never admit it. She also acts like a victim in all of this.
I hope anyone reading this realizes I was imitating Joe (when he sent a text to Joe Gorga). I don’t talk like that. Yikes!!
This episode brought it ALL tonight. I was laughing and crying during the entire hour. I love this group. I really do. I love to see how they are working through their conflicts. I love the drama that is being brought. I would have to say, so far RHONJ is knocking it out of the ball park this season!
I haven’t watched RHONJ in many seasons, so it’s kinda nice to come back not that invested in any of the ladies or holding personal grudges from previous seasons except for Teresa of course.
I feel sorry for the girls but hopefully they feel better now that Joe is out of prison and only a plane ride away, it’s not ideal but it’s better than him being locked up.
My dad lives in Italy is better than my dad lives in an ICE detention center. Way better.
Margaret Is way too invested in what Danielle is doing in her life for me. She really called this lady’s ex husband to see if they had sex or not like he’d tell the truth. Clearly Margarets life isn’t fulfilled or interesting enough that every time someone brings Danielle name up that she loses her shit.
I think she and her husband are just friends with Marty now. I think she just wanted to let him know what Danielle was saying. I don’t believe Marty is still hooking up with her based on all the drama I followed real time. This was why Danielle was so pissed she called Tre.
HOW IN TARNATION did Danielle get so many guys to ask her to marry them or to actually do it? AIN’T NOBODY* that good at blow jobs. Not enough to put a ring on it. NO F’ING WAY!
*This statement calls for poor grammar.
Danielle has admitted it herself and even made it her tag line, “You either love me or hate me”. She could drive anyone batty, she pissed Tre enough to flip a table on her. Have you ever spent any time with someone who has borderline personality disorder? It’s usually very memorable but not in a good way.
I really miss Caroline Manzo. She was sane, sensible, perceptive as hell, and bright. And would have called these women out on their foolishness.
I agree with you Judith. I wish they would bring back Caroline Manzo. She was the sensible and perceptive one. The Manzo’s are a real authentic Italian family.
Guys, I love Frank!!!!!!!!! He makes me laugh for some reason and I think it’s really freakin cool that he has his ex-wife’s back when it comes to her current relationships. I also love when he tells Delores she’s nuts!! LOL he’s the true star of the show!
It’s a tie between Frank and Joe Gorga for me. They both crack me up. I love how Gorga is still so hot for his wife.
yes, plus Joe Gorga is pretty hot, lol
I’M hot for his wife 🙂
It’s weird! Did they ever love each other? To me, if you are that okay with some other guy or girl banging your ex wife or husband, then you never really cared to begin with. Goes the other way too. How can Delores take this guy back after what he did to her? He left her and then when he got disbarred, the woman he left her for kicked him out and Delores took him back in. He cheated on her left and right and she doesn’t seem to mind. Her boyfriend and ex husband go to dinner together?
Also, at the risk of being attacked, is there a chance that production/the other ladies aren’t being shady about Jackie’s eating disorder, and maybe they are actually concerned (Other than the comment made at the roast)?
I don’t think talking about the lack of food Jackie is consuming is “making fun of her”. I think all the ladies are noticing the same thing and talking about it. I’m sure it’s going to be brought up later in the season. And unlike other housewives who like to call eating disorders having “severe OCD” (braunwyn referencing her oldest daughter’s issues) in an effort to hide it, maybe it is good that these ladies are bringing Jackie’s eating disorder to light. People suffer from disordered eating every day (including myself), so I hope they do mention to Jackie their concerns and ask her to get help. And guys, she really isn’t eating. From someone who was anorexic, I feel that she has all the signs.
Teresa’s daughters seem like good kids. They aren’t afraid to speak their minds and seem to really value family. I just hope those apples fell far from the tree and rolled into another orchard.
I think you’re right Dolores’ Doktor isn’t taking her BS very well is he. She annoys me a lot. When Theresa asked the lawyer how long another appeal would take you could see the money cost wheel spinning around in her head. You know who I feel sorry for other than the her girls; her father. ‘Cause you know he knows she knew what she was doing was illegal, but he still loves her. That’s gotta be a hard burden to bear to sit their on camera because he knows they need her money to keep rolling in.
Someone mentioned her having to sell the house and give half to Juicy Joe, but is that how it really works? I would think she would essentially keep the house until her youngest was 18, or 21 before having to sell it, and by that time it should be worth considerably more, as should her net worth with all the stupits running around buying her books and such.
Did I hear someone say that Dolores answers the hotel door in the nude?
When did Dolores’ BF turn into Uncle Fester?
Based on the first few seasons of NJ, I never would have thought that Theresa would be the main cast member. She is still just as vapid and dumb but looks older. I hate all the makeup she wears, it ages her. I wish she would not wear fake lashes, those things are so heavy and she blinks constantly.
She looks terrible.
