RHONJ Recap: Mama Drama

January 15, 2020 by tamaratattles 55 Comments

RHONJ Recap Joe GorgaIt’s RHONJ recap night and I am ready to go! I have not been on the struggle bus all day and am feeling much better. I’m hoping for a light and fun episode tonight. But, it is New Jersey. I’ll settle for not Danielle Staub scenes.

We start with the news that Joe Gorga is shooting blanks. Melissa and the kids (!) mock him for it. Then we move on to Margaret’s financial problems. She is still trying to sell that gorgeous piece of empty property next to her house. I have a source that emails me about this property all the time. If I recall correctly, and my recall sucks, the land still has not sold. It seems that Margaret thinks it the perfect location for a Mother’s Day Drag Queen Brunch. I am not sure those things go together well. Especially the part about inviting all the mothers. I do like Margaret and Jackie together though. Teresa is not invited.

RHONJ RecapStrange Mother’s Day Events

Since Teresa is not invited to Margaret’s odd brunch, we must endure yet another scene where a phone call from Joe Giudice ruins another event. The daughters have made breakfast for Teresa. Speaking of breakfast, all our lives we have been told “breakfast is the most important meal of the day.” Now Dr. Oz is declaring war on breakfast saying we should skip it in the name of “intermittent fasting.” The meal is literally named BREAK FAST. Teresa is pissed that Margaret didn’t invite her to brunch. Then Joe Giudice calls. Teresa thinks that Joe tries to come between her and the girls.

Margaret is broke and has a huge lawsuit to pay off. So of course she hires a party planner to put on a stunning outdoor party with lobster and very expensive flowers. It’s beautiful. I hope Bravo picked up this tab. The drag queens are very um… New Jersey. Jennifer’s mother is freaked out on sight. Everyone talks about Teresa. When Margaret met Teresa, she was Namaste Teresa. Now she is back to Zero To Ten Teresa. Or, As Melissa says, the real Teresa. Margaret is just know meeting the real Teresa. Dolores wants Margaret and Teresa to make up. I don’t.

Drag Queens And Sob Stories

They housewives start telling stories from when they were younger. Jackie’s mother apparently paid one of her suitors $15,000 for the engagement ring he bought. This was all because Jackie didn’t want to marry him. Can’t you return the ring the the woman declines the offer of marriage? Marge Sr. was the wild child. She set no boundaries for Margaret. Margaret was basically the parent in the relationship. She never drank because her mother was always drunk. Lots of tears for this conversation.

I’ve been to a few drag shows in my life. Especially when I lived in Savannah. My friends and I would go to see Lady Chablis every once in a while. The queens are no Lady Chablis. The only one less impressed with this drag show is Jennifer’s mother. This is very culturally inappropriate for her. She can’t even accept her son’s sexuality. Margaret, on the other hand is having a blast.

As the girls all prepare to head to Jackie’s Hampton’s house, Jennifer Googles the house. Jackie rents it for $50K a month. Teresa doesn’t want to go. It’s pouring rain. Wow. The show is almost over. That passed quickly. It looks like all we will see is the arrival.

Always posing for the camera, this one…

Wow. Jackie’s house is AMAZING and right on the beach. She is filthy rich. What does her husband do? Melissa and Margaret talk about the Teresa situation. Melissa understands Margaret’s POV. However, she also tells Margaret she can’t tell Teresa who to be friends with.

Teresa bitches about having to carry her  own luggage in. Then somehow she doesn’t bring any in. Teresa isn’t all the way in the door before she starts coming for Margaret.

Next time: Jackie announces that she has family money. Apparently, lots and lots of family money. Margaret and Teresa get into a screaming match. Margaret lands some low blows about Teresa being a crappy parent. Melissa and Jennifer get in to a near brawl at a restaurant. It’s probably just Jennifer being Teresa’s attack dog.

    Aww! We used to see The Lady Chablis in Savannah also! I have many happy memories there!

    My favorite is the Drag Brunch at R House in Wynwood In Miami!

    What is Jackie’s family money?

    Man Teresa is just not a nice person. I understand she’s under a lot but damn. She really brings this series down. Margaret should have talked to her and invited her.

    I was loving this episode right until the end. I lived seeing Teresa’s girl’s set up a mother’s day breakfast. That drag queen brunch was so fun. I understand why Teresa was not invited. The Hamptons trip looks fun. Its a place I have always been curious about but us Boston folks usually hit the Cape. I really really hope the drama they preview at the end of the episode is only a tiny bit of the next episode.

    Glad you’re feeling better! Ugh! I hate Jennifer because just when it becomes easy to hate her obnoxious behavior she goes and has a super touching scene with her mother discussing her brother. Part of me feels this shouldn’t be on tv for her mother’s sake but I also love that they are showing the moral conflicts some families have while trying to be accepting.

      Jennifer & her mother drive me crazy. She cannot accept her son’s homosexuality in 2020. God help us all. If your own mother doesn’t support you in life who will ? Can only imagine the pain fear & shame that must cause him. I cannot imagine having a mother like that. I am not a politically gay homosexual or even anyones favorite homosexual but for the love of God can we please still this unyielding & unjustifiable taunting individuals who just happen to fall in love with the same sex ? I for one have never fallen in love with anyones penis I fell in love with the person heart & soul its attached to ! Everyone thinks it’s all about sex & body parts it’s a lot more than that. Rant over. Sorry friends intolerance drives me bananas !

    Glad you feel better! I read that Jackie’s hubby is a partner with a capital group in NYC. I think it’s great she has family money. I’m sick of Jennifer bragging. Maybe this will shut her up…probably not. Teresa’s double standards irk me. She sure as hell wanted people to pick sides when Melissa and Joe came on the show. Now, it’s wrong to expect a friend to be loyal or objective or fair minded. Danielle lies when she called Marty and said she was talking to Margaret calmly. She was up in Margaret’s face. Teresa is not bright. I change the channel when she is on. I liked the brunch scene without her there.

      The house Jackie lives in (as opposed to the summer one she rented in the Hamptons for the show) doesn’t scream money to me. Looks like your typical cul de sac NJ neighborhood. Yes, people with real wealth don’t flaunt it, but …..
      Seems to me that Jackie knows she’s been a real snooze fest this season and is amping (not sure if that is a word) things up.

        Your overly personal comment about a stranger wreaks of sour grapes and jealousy..Most people who make complaints similar to yours are anxious to see women fighting with each other every week. I’d rather take a tour of Jackie’s two homes and watch her family interactions-I”m fine with that over bitches screaming at each other. I don’t need the fake drama, I have a life.

      MelG, you are so rite on!! I still get mad when I see the footage of when Jackie, calmly, asked Tre if she could control her husband would he be in prison?? I’ve asked my television that so many times – TOTALLY LOGICAL QUESTION, but then Tre goes off the rails! Also, if everyone is supposed to tip toe around her on Mother’s Day because it’s such a hard time for her, why not be joyful and be with YOUR CHILDREN while they cook you a breakfast. Tre was returning from the gym in the shot – maybe she should have been coming back from the cemetery visiting her mom?!

    Melissa nailed it- Namaste Teresa was short lived. I do like that Melissa asked Marge not to put her in the middle of it and also pointed out she can’t tell Teresa who to be friends with. But I’m sure that’s not “having my back” enough for a Teresa.

    Glad your struggle bus seems to be pulling up to the depot, TT.
    I love Margaret, and remember when we were all listing our favorite and least favorite HW? Teresa was my least favorite, she still is. She is not only vile but she is too dumb to have a good argument. Marge can hit below the belt but she is quick and clever (except when having a fancy party whilst going broke); she runs circles around Teresa.
    Despite being a New Yorker I have only been to the Hamptons once or twice, partly due to my hatred for Long Island traffic. Also I have family “On the Cape” so we often go there instead, or just head south, where the water is so warm!

    I wonder how Teresa would have acted if she had been invited to the mother’s day brunch. She would have been the only one there without a mother. I can’t help but think that she would complain either way.

    I can not stand Teresa & fast forward when she speaks in her nasally, complaining whine. I don’t think she adds anything to the show, quite the opposite. When someone encouraged her to go talk to Margaret at the party last week, she said something like, I don’t go to people, people come to me! I think that it’s hilarious how important she thinks she is. Ha!

      I feel bad for her! He does not talk to her respectfully. I suspect if he met someone attracctive tomorrow, he would dump Doris and marry the new chick in 6months. He’s one of those guys. They spend 5-10 yrs with one women, don’t put a ring on it then the new chick scores a huge rock in months.

    TT, I am happy the problems are fading. Was concerned.
    It tore me up, watching Teresa’s girls having to make a meal in front of the cameras. Melania has changed so much! Almost…demure. And Gabriella, bless her! Calling her mom “T” instead of “mom”. Thank you, young lady, for calling out the truth.
    I, too, could not understand that Margaret is broke but throwing lavish parties. But watching her and Marge Sr. interact while cleaning out the house was heartwarming. I could watch a whole season of Margaret’s life. Shout out to the dancing, life-loving Margery.

    I will be watching this episode a couple times. Without the “T” bs (for the most part), I enjoyed it!

    I honestly don’t care how much money these women say they have, I am sure most of them are living way, way beyond their means (Teresa and Joe got caught, but I’m sure there are many others living this way). But something about Jackie annoys the ever loving sh!t out of me. I just can’t stand watching her. She reminds me of Caroline Manzo, thinks she knows everything, thinks she’s above everyone else, likes to call people out on their skeletons, but doesn’t want her skeletons coming out.

      I get not liking someone on the show but your reasoning is strange. She doesn’t want her skelton’s coming out? She’s talked MORE than any other woman on the show about her past struggles in life: eating disorder, her unusual family set up, her father’s gambling problem.I don’t know how she could possibly be more open unless she popped a vein all over you.
      You sound just like Doris. You don’t like her- fine but the reasons you’re giving are bs.

    Teresa only has herself to blame for the girls reaction to her and Joe. The fake everything is fine, don’t show emotions, lavish gifts and saying they are “going away” instead explaining why they are in jail has caused this. Now Joe is no saint but I do think he had more real interactions with their kids than Tre has, JMO.

    I love that Jackie has always hidden her wealth until now. She’s confident & secure enough as a person not to have to put it on blast. While her Westhampton house may pale in comparison to Ramona’s or Bethenny’s homes in terms of value/lot size (think they’re in Southampton), it’s FAR more exclusive (& expensive) than the Jersey shore! Watching how much nicer Teresa is towards Jackie now is gross. She’s obviously impressed by the Hamptons/money. Seeing Jennifer’s head exploding with jealousy shows what an ugly, shallow person she really is – just like her BFF Teresa.
