It never fails that on a day with nothing much to post about, as soon as it is time to do a recap, something is brought to my attention. I am exhausted. In case you missed it. Click here for my busy and mildly traumatic day. Let me try to pound out this RHONJ recap. Will Teresa and the girls make it to the ICE facility?
Wait. How is it that Teresa has copies of her license? Oh she is calling Joe Gorga to go to her house and take photo copies of everything. I usually have a copy of my passport in my purse but only when I am traveling.
Daughters And Delusions
Of course we don’t see any of the visit. Teresa and the girls were inside for about three hours. Gia and Teresa say he looked really skinny and worn out. Melania is very quiet. Gia says she is sad that she couldn’t touch him. Teresa asks her if after seeing where he is if she still wants him to keep fighting. She says yes. Joe calls. It sounds like he was checking on Milania. Poor baby. Someone needs to explain to them that he will be living in Italy. The adults all know this is the end result.

Dolores’s daughter is home from school. She’s attending veterinarian school in St. Kitts. She asks her mom about moving in with David. She says that she is not moving in without a commitment. Dolores says if things don’t work out it will suck to see whoever he ends up with in the house where she picked every single thing.
Sisters & Sperm Counts
Jennifer go out to lunch outside on a nice sunny day. Jennifer tells Bill about the abject travesty of her decision to serve pizza at her kid’s birthday party. Bill says pizza is fine for kids, but if adults will be there,”what did I tell you,I want five different things because culturally that is how we grew up.” Jennifer is planning to apologize to Jackie and MAYBE Melissa. How noble of her.

Melissa meets up with her mom and two sisters. Melissa is struggling with Antonia wanting to dress like a stripper for her dance. Her mother says she remembers Melissa being the same way. They grow out of it at age 21. When Melissa announces that she wants another baby, they all tell her she is insane and having a midlife crisis.
I Feel Nothing For You!
Back in the house that crime built, Nono is disappointed that the girls and Teresa are always on diets and don’t want to eat what he cooks. He slices up pear and some cheese. Gia says that is a weird combination that she doesn’t want to try. It is not a weird combination. It is delicious if the cheese is good.
Joe comes over to fix the sink at Teresa’s. Gia tells Joe that she still wants her dad to fight to be in the US. I feel like Joe Gorga is going to have another talk with her to try to make her understand that this is pointless. I told you guys from day one Joe Giudice is going to be deported. And he was.

When Teresa and Joe talk privately, she tell him Joe keeps saying all these weird things to her. He told her he felt nothing for her. Um wait, didn’t Teresa say the exact same thing to him when she was in jail? According to Teresa, Joe told her to go find someone else, he would not care. Joe says that he never thought Joe treated Teresa the way she should have been treated. He didn’t give her any affection.
Caviar Dreams On A Tunafish Budget
I’m going to skip Jackie’s conversation with her father about her eating issues. Other than to say that her father seems to have eating issues of his own. He has a lap band. Oh and I need those people to come do my kitchen.
Margaret is hosting a party to celebrate the 20th anniversary of her MacBeth collection and there is still a lot of time left in the show so this will probably be a huge disaster. I am not a Shakespeare fan but doesn’t Lady Macbeth kill herself and Macbeth himself gets beheaded? It doesn’t sound like a very good name for a product line.
Dolores invites everyone to go to the shore for a few days. What could possibly go wrong with that? Melissa is pissed that Jennifer just waves and says hello in passing. Actually I think that is the right course of action. They are at a business event. This is not the time for drama. So, of course we will have drama.
Marge Senior looks amazing as usual.
All Apologies
Melissa is waiting on her apology. Jennifer says that she is not going to smooth things over. Dolores says that she needs to apologize since they are all going to the shore. She encourages Jennifer to make things right. Jackie feels bad for not talking to Bill. She really likes him. Jennifer says she feels kind of bad about her behavior, but she is nervous. Then Teresa gives her permission to apologize so off she goes.

Jennifer’s apology starts off really good, like she has a lot of practice apologizing. Jackie isn’t having it though. She say that Jennifer ruined the whole trip. Jennifer says that technically it was Marge that did that. She was the one that brought their private conversation to the lunch table. She’s not lying. Jackie says that she has heard Jennifer’s apologies before and yet the behavior continues. Jennifer reports back to Margaret, Teresa and Dolores by trash talking Jackie for not accepting her eleventy billionth apology of the season.
Guy Talk
Joe Gorga tracks down Bill to tell him to get his wife off his wife’s back. Joe says that Jennifer needs to stop throwing shit at Melissa. Then, Joe tells Bill that Jennifer is sexually frustrated and he needs to start giving it to her more. Then Bill runs to Jennifer to tell her what Joe Gorga said. Jesus. What a pussy.
Margaret gives a closing speech and says a lot of nice things about her mother. That was sweet. They both cry and hug. It’s time to dance! Dolores tells Margaret that Joe Gorga was really rude to Bill.
Next week: It’s Gia’s prom and the fighting resumes on the Jersey Shore.
Oh I forgot Teresa is on WWHL tonight. I’ll update here if I am awake for it and she says anything interesting. Or you know, dumb.
Normally it’s the latter lol. Great recap as usual, Tamara!
I thought Joe Gorga was a huge douche bag low life for telling Bill Aydin that he needed to bang his wife more. The doctor handled it with class by walking away— something someone with manners would do. I really don’t care that Jennifer is loud and flaunts her wealth. I find her amusing.
The fake I want a baby “storyline” of Melissa’s is starting to get on my last nerve. She’s a crappy actress. Also found marge’s boobs annoying. Overall, I found the episode oddly entertaining despite my bitch fest.
OMG Melissa is incredibly annoying with her very fake staged scenes. Just like he can’t control her husband, Why does JOe thing Bill can control his wife. Hypocrisy is real with the Gorga’s. Ugghhh
You summed up my thoughts perfectly! You speak truth 🙂
Personally, I like Joe Gorga more and more. I don’t care for Jennifer. Anyone I’ve known who had money did not brag. It’s the ones who want what everyone else has who tries to brag.
TT you were right about Joe Giudice. You were adamant the entire time so I never really doubted his being deported. I know by now when you tell us something with certainty that it will come to fruition.
I did not realize Dolores had a daughter. How have I missed that til now?
I remember she was in some earlier episodes and was wild about animals. She might have been in high school and worked as a vet tech.
Enough with the damn eating disorder storyline already. I am sick and tired of watching women talk about their weight and eating disorders.
me too. me too.
Best Line/Lie of the Night:
“I am a peacekeeper.” ~ Delores
Joe Gorga was being Joe ~ he tried twice to explain to Bill that Jennifer needs to stop throwing glasses and plates at his wife, who’s husband wouldn’t? Once Bill said Melissa deserved it, Joe made the usual poker night type joke in an effort to lighten Bill up. Bill thought they were funny when drinking and he’s no stranger to using ‘his culture’ defense to excuse their own rude behavior, like calling others cheap while flaunting new wealth. Jennifer’s double down hood rat persona could hurt Bill’s business. Guess they don’t need clients from the Hamptons.
ohh Aydins… usually I like Bill but not really a fan at what happened tonight. On another note. Miz Saggy seems to be a loony toon supporter of that dude in the house.. I am still always surprised at people who willingly choose to be blind.
Please Read the commenting rules.
Who’s Miz Saggy?
Bill isn’t a pussy, he’s an educated man with a lot to lose, unlike the criminals Gorga and Giudice who if they are seen fighting on TV their peers think of it as an accolade not a disappointment.
Not for nothing, but Joe Gorga needed a punch in the face for his comment to Bill. Joey needs to stay out of his wife’s business and let her fend for herself.
I disagree. I think he should have said something to Bill about Jennifer’s violent and rude behavior toward his wife. He just said it in a way that made things worse.
Regarding Marge giving her collection the name, “Macbeth”…
In addition to the deaths you cited, there is also a verrry strong superstition amongst actors of never saying the actual name of that particular play. Actors will call it, “The/That Scottish Play” rather than saying “Macbeth.” This goes waaaaay way back to when Scotland and England were at war. Scotland was considered cursed and somehow that morphed into, “Anyone saying the word ‘Macbeth’ will cause their production to be cursed.”
Actors are very suspicious folks, dontcha know. And this holds true for most anyone who has taken acting/drama seriously…even in high school. (Although I first heard about the Macbeth thing in Junior College.) The point is, there are a LOT of folks out there who just won’t let the name Macbeth cross their lips…and I’m not just talking about serious actors that are “household names.”
P.S. Actors also consider it to be very bad luck to whistle backstage. But that was based a more practical consideration. Back in the day, before headsets and intercoms, the crew in charge of all the rigging and lights used penny whistles to cue each other. So a badly timed whistle could bring a curtain, a piece of scenery, or even a heavy spotlight, to come crashing down on your head!
As always, I’m here to help. ?
I vaguely remember that, Carson. Thanks for the reminder. It makes it even seem more like a bad name for a business…
FYI, I have read more than one recap today that called Marge’s new collection, “That Scottish Play Collection”!
In other news, I found a set of makeup brushes from the Margaret Joseph’s Macbeth Collection at TJ Maxx this week. Red tag clearance. $6.00. Thoughts? Lol
Did you know if you fast forward this show you can finish it all in under 5 minutes and miss absolutely nothing. God bless you TT- it’s not watchable for me so the recaps are beautiful!
I’m almost embarrassed for this cast. It needs to end. There are life situations going on that would be nice to know are focused on and taken care of.
I don’t know if it needs to be shown, take a hiatus.
Melissa is not doing herself any favors with the baby storyline. Because, it kind of seems like a needed storyline. I’m betting the last thing she wants is a newborn.
Joe is the hero (Gorga) right now.
Did anyone else notice Jackie from the queen of Versailles there? Somebody needs to give her a run on one of these shows.
I did! I think she’s entertaining. She should have her own show.
I really appreciate Dolores casually talking about her dog pee smelling house.
Realest part of that show. There are days I feel my life revolves around dog messes and dog training.
In the nearly ten years since I have had Banjo, the always runs all the way to the back fence to poop. Often, behind the bamboo in front of the back fence. He liked his privacy and I appreciated it. This week, he is pooping right up near the house and once on the ugly gray rug that is on top of the rug pile in the back yard. #IKnowIAmClazzy Clearly he hated that fucking gray rug as much as I did.
Did productIon pay for Margaret’s party? Where does she get money from if she has all of these lawsuits? When they film in her house it’s in shambles lol clothes aren’t even in dressers or on hangers. Almost like a hoarders home! I do enjoy her though! And I love Marge Sr. I love her style!
I am probably in the minority, but I really like Joe Gorga. I follow him on IG and he is hysterical and simply, the guy adores his wife and kids. He has really stepped up and has been there for his sister, his nieces and his dad. He breaks my heart talking to Teresa’s girls. He also shows lots of his construction flips and they look really nice.
As for his conversation with Jennifer’s husband about Jennifer constantly going for Melissa, Joe tried to handle it with humor…but the stick up his tush doctor got his panties in a wad. If he was so concerned with being classy, then he would pry the tequila bottle out of Jennifer’s mouth. She does need to get laid more.
