Of all the housewives shows on Bravo, RHONJ seems to have the men in the forefront more than any others. Joe Gorga and Frank Catania are practically housewives themselves. It appears that this RHONJ recap is going to be focused on the men. This is only episode three and I feel like so much has happened already. Will Jackie and Teresa finally come fact to face again? Let’s get to it!
I’ve always wanted to try fake eyelashes. I’m just not sure I could do it. And really no one would see them except the guy at the smokes and beer store. LOL. Anyway, the feud with Jackie and Teresa continues even thought Jackie is not on the trip. Those sausages look so good! Is it me or is Dolores and Teresa wa weird color? Melissa tries to squash the issue between Jackie and Tersesa because they all know Teresa is too dumb to comprehend the situation. Teresa is very into tequila shots lately. That is new. She is also feeding Dolores from her mouth. That’s weird, right?
Let’s Talk About Sex, Baby
Teresa is selling the New Jersey monstrosity that is her house. Her agent calls while they are at lunch at an outdoor restaurant on Lake George. I’m starving for coconut shrimp and crab cakes. I have a pot pie in the oven that is going to take over an hour to cook. Melissa announces that Antonia has boyfriend she has been with since eighth grade. Melissa loves the boyfriend and he seems like a nice guy. She’s just worried that she might be thinking of having sex. She wants to have the talk with Antonia. It’s probably a bit late for that. Melissa seems to be worried about Joe cheating while she is away.

Lake George is beautiful! They ladies get on a floating Tiki bar. This will not end well. Let the drinking begin. I should point out that it is noon. For some reason that escapes me. Dolores decides that Teresa needs to call her brother and tell her that Melissa has been texting with a guy all day. On what planet is this a good idea? How is Jennifer the voice of reason? Melissa feels bad already. I don’t see how this is funny. Then Melissa gets mad because he believes Teresa. Teresa is a good liar. Then she tells him that he’s been punked. Everyone passes out on the van ride home.
Rosé All Day
Back at the house everyone is shitfaced. So why not just keep drinking? At least they switch to rosé. Then, Melissa exposes Margaret’s new boobs. Has Margaret had face work done because she doesn’t even look like herself in this photo! They decide to order sushi for dinner. Meanwhile, Jennifer tells Dolores that Joe Gorga owes one of her friends tens of thousands of dollars. Joe does post lies about his renovations online. The guy he owes money to, was someone who introduced him at some sort of speaking engagement. Jennifer is torn over whether to tell Melissa about what is being said about Joe.

Back in Jersey, Bill Aydin, Joe Gorga, Frank Catania and Margaret’s husband, Joe Benigno get together for a boys night. They all seem thrilled to have four days away from their spouses. They are also eating bait, um, I mean sushi with lots of wasabi. Then it is time for poker. This looks like a lot more fun than the girls are having. The guys all talk about the rumors about Jackie’s husband. Margaret’s Joe says he has heard the same rumor about Evan. The guys basically don’t know what to believe.
Teresa Blows Her … CAT scan?
All the girls except Teresa are missing Jackie on the trip so Margaret and Melissa call her to let her know they are thinking of her. She says that Evan is very upset over the gossip and how it will affect his professional reputation. Jackie wants Teresa to call Evan and apologize for starting a bullshit rumor. Melissa tries to get Jackie to apologize to Teresa for the analogy she used about Gia. She is not willing to do that.

Melissa and Margaret try to get through to Teresa by bringing up her over the top reaction to rumors of Joe cheating on her. Those rumors were actually true! And Teresa is now rewriting history to say she didn’t care about the rumors because she was secure in her marriage. Production rolls the tape. Does she not get that she is being filmed? Everyone tries to get Teresa to apologize. So she threw a hissyfit and tells them all to go fuckthemselves. She will talk to Jackie’s husband if she apologizes for what she said about Gia. No one is going to budge on this issue. Melissa goes to talk to Teresa. Then Dolores goes to talk to her soon.
Someone gave them all tie dyed hoodies. I could really use one of those. I have two hoodies that I live in and they are both filthy dirty and I haven’t taken clothes to the wash and fold since the pandemic began. They are all doing hoodies wrong. They need to be like three sizes too big. They finally all bond over S’mores and wine by the outdoor fireplace. Then they all hear an animal noise, and Teresa and Dolores decide to feed the paranoia my screaming and running in the house. Melissa even throws her wine glass. That is what we call a party foul.
Sorry for the delay, I was busy drunk dialing Nanette and the fiancé and time got away from me.
I missed Jackie during the episode. With her missing, the average IQ of this show plummets. I do not despise any HW was much as T. She has to be so frustrating to be around since she is so dumb and volatile. This show would be better without her since the other women have to tip toe around her and treat her like the 5 year old she behaves like. Jennifer is growing in me the season. I did not see that coming.
I agree! I can’t stand TREE! When she starts that, “Shots, Shots, Shots” it makes me sick! I saw Jennifer watching her, as I was, to see if she would even drink the whole thing. Then she is twerking and saying she needs a man. She is all over the place trying to get attention and be the star! Production needs to stop telling her what the smart people said about her and that they were really referencing how dumb she is. I can’t even stand listening to her voice! Who’s watching her kids and cooking now that both her parents are gone? Gia is smart to move to the other side of the country. Her “dawters” just sit there and do their homework, and look at her packing, “Where are going?” They don’t even care.
I think of it like “dorters”
OMG – that voice! It’s nails on a chalkboard. It’s gotten worse over time. I also am ready for Teresa to go.
Yeah I’m sorry but I don’t have much sympathy for Tre. She is just not a good person IMO. I could go on and on about how thick I think she is but that seems to be an excuse used a lot to make up for her poor choices and awful nature. I think the other women just handle her with kid gloves because she has been reality tv gold and the matriarch of this show and they all think they have to to stay on this show.
The househusbands won this episode and every one they’re ever featured on. I Stan these guys in a major way! And I’m fascinated that Frank Catania is nearly 80 years old. Is that right?! And Dolores is absolutely stunning woman in so many ways, I have a huge girl crush on her!
Frank Catania nearly 80 years old- huh?
I’m confused. Frank senior is not near 80 yrs old. I looked it up. Everything is saying his age is 30-35. I would’ve thought older than that though as Frankie is 17 or 18.
LOL Frank is in his 50s. What is wrong with you people? 🙂
That’s about what j thought. I don’t know why bio info is coming up 30-35. He’d have been 12 or 13 when he impregnated her w/Frankie. I knew he was not 80.
I found another place that reports Frankie Jr is 20 & Dolores’ daughter is 23.
Found Frankie’s birthdate. He was born in 1998. So he’s actually 22.
Yes but we are refuting the person who thinks Frank Sr is 80. lol. I should look so good at “80”.
My apologies to all.. I’m a piss poor google-r. 80 year old Frank Catania is so politician or something!? My bad y’all! Too much wine that night I looked it up, Lol
no worries. 🙂
Right? What the hell?
This show could be just as good (probably better) without Theresa. Just like Kathryn on Southern Charm, the dumb, outrageous women on both of these shows have had their time when their storylines were somewhat interesting, but I feel like that time has passed (for both of them). In each case, so much of their storylines were wrapped around their situations with the men they were involved with (Thomas for Kathryn, and Joe Guidice for Theresa). Now, for both of them, with those men and those storylines gone, they just seem, well, dull. In Kathryn’s case, if you remove the racist “storyline”- there’s just nothing there- she’s boring and dim. In Theresa’s case, she’s in full on attack mode to try to keep her storyline going, but now she’s just nasty, boring and really stupid. RHONJ could continue very well with the other women and their men- all of whom are more interesting than Theresa. Her time has come and gone.
Refuse to watch. felons by bravo don’t deserve my vieiwing!
Teresa is the worst! She does lie well though. She is someone who should open her mouth very little. Every time she speaks she shows what a moron she is. She doesn’t even get embarrassed. I’m not sure if she caught on that it was “blow a gasket” not “blow a casket.”
What I find shocking about this season is that everyone is AGAINST Teresa. Even Melissa who usually tries to ride the fence. EVERYONE is Team Jackie this season. I’ve always liked Jackie. She is too smart for this crew.
That’s for sure. She also seems like a genuinely nice person
TEAM JACKIE!
Teresa is just to dumb to understand an analogy, I find it ironic that any moment she has she will bring up Jackie. I fast forward over the men’s scenes, I don’t care for friend of housewife Joe Gorga and his antics. I’m glad to see everyone basically get on on teresa and telling her she’s wrong!
What Teresa did at Evan’s party was inexcusable. Melissa is fake, and like Teresa, she has no storyline. The storylines Melissa she did have the last few seasons were all fake. The baby, the sister…fake. I think that Joe’s “businesses” are about to implode.
I have to admit I was relieved that the setup about Melissa turned out to be a dumb prank, because that restaurant they’d gone to the previous night is from another reality show (“Summer Rush.”) So if the owner had really been flirting, that would have been a bummer for the wife, and they both seem like nice people. (Plus, the wife is a little bit of a p-whip, so he’d be sorry, LOL).
Am I crazy, or did Bravo Show Tre’s nipple? At the restaurant on Lake George when she had on that loose fitting dress with no sleeves, there was a shot from her right rear side that looked like her nipple showing without being blurred. Geez…
I kind of wonder about Teresa actually drinking. She’s never been one to drink very much, but she did give her tequila to Jennifer A. to get her amped up. I could see her doing that more than drinking it herself.
Marge had a lot of work done on her face. She is starting to look like her mother. People? STOP WITH THE WORK. It looks ridiculous. If prison didn’t change Tre, nothing will. You can’t teach someone how to be intelligent, empathetic, kind or how to act like an adult and not a rapid dog. She isn’t going to change, she needs the $ from this show and will do whatever production wants. She has no shame, no remorse and no real friends either. I fast forward thru her whenever possible. Not sure why I even watch this now, except for some Dolores one-liners.
Gigi what a perfect summary of personality disorders (no sarcasm). I agree wholeheartedly with your post.🙌
Theresa’s unlikeable. There are people you love to hate but she’s not even one of those people. I just don’t like watching her. Everything she does is forced. That strawberry thing with Delores was for show; I guess it was supposed to be sexy but it really wasn’t. There is nothing sexy about that woman. Another thing, what’s with the Italian women on this show and their total who cares attitude about cheating? Is it so predominant in their families that it’s no big deal? Delores seemed more mad that Frank said he was out of there then the fact that she found him cheating.
That “joke” they played on Gorga was terrible. My husband would have had a heart attack
Did anyone watch celebrity apprentice when she was on? Lisa Lampanelli, the comic, was the first one who said gently that Teresa was dumb, and she was bargaining with her and Teresa had no idea what Lisa was doing. It was priceless. Teresa was very friendly on that show but you cant fix stupid.
I thought it was very fucked up that Melissa pulled Margaret’s top down and then scampered away like a 12 year old when anyone else suggested doing it to her. I dont care how drunk you are, you dont expose your friends like that, even if Margaret is a good sport.
Long time lurker here.
To start I grew up around “Tre’s, Joe’s and Doloreses.” The culture is not prime and proper. How they act is toned down from what I am used to. On some level they know they can’t be their true selves. I would think people would boycott the show if that was the case. I see what you all see when Tre spread the Evan is a cheater rumor. But its old school had Jackie stood up to Tre no tears and said go F yourself I know who’s bed he goes home too. This would have been over. But Jackie crumbled in front of Tre and worse said disparaging remarks about Gia.
Jackie was brought up with 2 loving parents and a good community around her. Yeah she had body issues but she has good manners. None of the other castmates do. This is why she stands out so much.
Tre accused Melissa of cheating on Joe. They said their fu’s and no love lost there. I think if Jackie saw that she would have realized not to take it to heart and tell Tre to F off.
Just my 2 cents I don’t hate Tre she reminds me of back home.
I think Jackie stands out on the show because she is not from the Italian culture, therefore her reaction to Tre’s vicious gossip was different than perhaps someone who was raided in that culture. I’m married to a man from Italian culture (but I’m not), and I think my reaction would have been like Jackie’s. Different strokes I guess.
