Last week’s RHONJ recap was kind of mellow with minimal drama. Could that happen two weeks in a row? I doubt it. Tonight the ladies visit with a psychic. It’s like all the production companies get together and plan a psychic episode, or a spiritual advisor, or a social justice protest, or start some sort of season long #gate of some sort that is never resolved, or someone goes to counseling or has marital problems. All of these shows are the same just with different people in different cities. Hell, we even have wire fraud in at least three franchises where housewives are going to do prison time or have already. Same shit, different city.
Marital Differences
Jennifer whines to her mother about Margaret calling Bill her meal ticket. He mom whines to her about how horrible her husband is to here. Jennifer has fond memories of he dad. Her mother had to marry at 16 and her husband was 26. She’s been married to him for 48 years and she has had enough. After the psychic party, Jennifer apologizes for not being more supportive of her mother’s side of the argument between her and her father.

Margaret, Melissa and Jackie go out to for lunch. Jackie orders a lot of food Let’s see if she eats it. Margaret is pissed that Jennifer took a jab at her about sleeping with her boss. It seems that was a non-consensual situation. Melissa feels badly because she thinks she is growing out of her marriage. She is a lot more independent than she used to be. She plans to pay more attention to him. Jackie is shocked she is invited to Teresa’s “psychic party.” Marge speculates that Teresa is seeing someone and she lied about her girls having a soccer game. But, Melissa lies about it because she is sworn to secrecy. Margaret says that anyone who is talking about eating pineapple to make her puss taste sweet is getting it from someone.
Dolores needs to go in for a biopsy after having an abnormal mammogram. Frank and Dolores are still flipping houses together. These two just need to get married again. They act like they are still married. They get along better with than Delores and David. Frank is the only person she has told about her biopsy. Oh, she has told David about it too.
A Psychic Party For Psychos
I made the title before Marge arrives in a jacket that says “Sweet by Psycho” in pink letters on the back. I must be psychic. This is the first time Jackie has been to Teresa’s house. Margaret invites everyone to go out on a yacht so she can read parts of her new book to them. Michelle, Teresa’s “realtor’ is invited to the party. Jennifer was on her IG live the night before about not having any nannies or housekeepers at the moment. Margaret thinks she is being insensitive to the poors.

Margaret gets a message from her stepkids grandfather. They were very close she gets super emotional. The realtor gets a message from her grandfather. Then, Delores gets a message from both of her grandparents. Her grandfather tells her that she has a health issue. The grandmother tells her that David is not her soulmate. The psychic says as soon as she dumps David, a wonderful new lover is coming her way. She also gets word her dog is in heaven. But, Delores was the most emotional about her dog. Melissa gets messages from her dad. Jackie gets support from her grandmother. Jennifer’s ancestors tell her to be more supportive of her mother. Teresa’s parents are happy for her new relationship.
I’ve read about three articles today about what a scuzzbucket Teresa’s boyfriend Luis is. He’s apparently some sort of sex addict who expects sex four times a day and runs some sort of a swingers club. Also, he’s has allegedly cheated on everyone he has ever dated.
Family Feuds
Wait. Melissa is going to talk to her daughter Antonia about sex. She already has a serious boyfriend. Joe and Melissa talk about how she is working a lot now. Joe doesn’t want her to forget about him and being there for him. Meanwhile, Melissa and Joe go out to dinner. Joe wants to let Melissa know he misses spending time with her.

Jackie celebrates Rosh Hashanah with her extended family. She shares that her grandmother came at the psychic party and she is feeling better about starting the new year and having a new beginning. So, that whole meal went well. This was another decent episode.
Well whaddaya know?!! Amazing!
Thanks for the recap. I really do appreciate them. Still not interested in watching but who knows? That’s all I’ve got.
Stay safe TT!
I really felt badly for Jennifer’s mother in this episode. It was sad
I also liked the medium she was calming
Does anyone think it’s interesting how much Dolores and Frank don’t mention or ever reference their daughter? I forget she exists
RHONJ is probably the best franchise left right now, in my opinion. They are still centered around family, the husbands all get along and go on cast trips, they fight and get over it, or just talk behind each other’s back..just like real life!
She was on in an earlier episode. They said she had to finish out her schooling I think at Rutgers because of covid. To be honest I think she’s having a hard time with it, could be the reason she was overseas for her vet school to begin with. She said she did feel overwhelmed at how good the student were here or something like that. I think she’s just in her books 24/7 and they know this. They don’t want to put pressure on her by mentioning her, if shes struggling. I dunno just my take on it. They did say they are very proud of her, but I feel like Dolores is very protective of her daughter’s privacy.
She is at Tufts now. Right here in Boston.
I’ve read stuff about Teresa’s boyfriend but not what you have! That sounds juicier!!
All of the juicy stories that I have read have been put out by Kim 0. So you know, grain of salt
Kim D
The exes themselves have spoken out to some outlets. I would link but they were sent to me and I forgot where they were. He also has some sort of a domestic violence record with one of them allegedly.
Page Six did an article about him that quoted his exes. Teresa should have stuck with the pool boy . . . Luis is TROUBLE.
It was actually an enjoyable show tonight. I do feel sorry for Jennifer’s mother. I can’t even imagine being forced to marry someone at the age of 16 and then being ripped away from my family to live in another country. I don’t blame her for being angry.
The previous times the mom was on the show I didn’t really like her but after you hear her backstory my heart kind of breaks for her. She was a young girl her husband was 10 years older and that must have been terrifying
Exactly the way I felt about her before last night. I can’t even blame or dislike the dad because that’s the way he was raised. I love Jen’s husband for sending his daughter out of the room when he saw how upset she was getting.
Yes I like Bill more and more each season. Also, was waiting for Melissa to ask this psychic about her long lost sister…or for her spirit dad to bring it up.
Lol, oh yes the fake sister, so the psychic could tell her, she was full of s***!
Pretty good episode, I like that Teresa brought the soothsayer aka the psychic. I’m surprised Melissa didn’t ask about her invisible sister. I was shocked with Dolores crying over her dog and not her boyfriend. I personally see her ending up with frank again. Jackie’s new confessional outfit and hair is cute. Over friend of housewife Joe Gorga 1940’s mentality about his wife staying home. I skipped over all of Jennifer scenes because I do not care for her.
I’d cry for my dog before my boyfriend too.
So would I!
Me Too!
I enjoyed the episode. This group has great cast chemistry. Their extended families are nice to see as well
Sex 4 times a day? Are you sure her boyfriend’s name isn’t Colt? 😉
Lol, that guy is SO GROSS!!🤮
All Teresa’s boyfriend’s ex’s say he does want sex at least 4x’s a day. They all said he was awful. One even has a photo of her holding a cake that says “I Dodge A Bullet”. Most of them are blondes.
Good episode (the last couple were good I thought), and great recap as usual! Didn’t think it was possible but I’m kind of starting to like Jackie. The scenes with her family, etc., she seems better than the obnoxious, nasty loudmouth she can be with the women. But then, jolted back to reality when we saw her whining on instagram about needing a “nanny” (but she really meant housekeeper). For God’s sake, put those kids to work helping with the cleaning and cooking- they are old enough to do it and it would do them a world of good! I may catch heat, but I have a soft spot for Joe Gorga. He’s a big baby, but I think he really does love Melissa. I think their marriage is on the precipice, but I think there’s potential there for him to grow. It seems with him to be less “the traditional Italian man wanting his wife barefoot in the kitchen”, than that he just wants more time with the woman he loves and he feels her pulling away. I think he’d do most anything for her. I know that’s not popular- people love to hate on Joe. 😒
I’m so sorry (not enough coffee yet!). I meant to say “I’m starting to like Jen”! Didn’t mean Jackie!
An ex that sells sex toys and a current boyfriend that’s a sex addict and swinger! No wonder Joe and Luis became fast friends in the Bahamas when they met!
Are these people on drugs? It seems they have an abnormal preoccupation with sex given their ages. Am I wrong? I simply don’t know anyone over 40 obsessed with coitus.
I actually felt sorry for Jen tonight, and appreciate how Bill sent their daughter out of the room, though they should have done that sooner. It sucks to grow up with parents who dont like eachother, I am sure many of us know that.
The main reason I will not see a psychic is because of Dolores. If a psychic told me I had a health problem I would FREAK the fuck out! then run screaming from the house and curl up into a ball until the appointment.
A really good, ethical psychic/medium is not supposed to discuss health issues. I think this whole psychic storyline was staged. She was a little too accurate. I’ve been to my share of psychic readings. There are many phonies out there, but there are also many credible, gifted professional mediums. This one seemed staged.
Agreed. We could have told these women all of these things.
I liked this episode too- my favorite of the season. I was almost ready to quit NJ at this point, but this was a good one. I keep wanting to hate Jen but she showed how open she is to considering making changes in her behavior and maybe even her viewpoint when she took the psychic’s advice about her mom to heart.
Ironic maybe how Jen gives Margaret crap about sleeping with her boss and her own mom was also pressured into sex via forced-or coerced marriage. I even like Melisa & Joe’s date night. The family dinner at Jackie’s was really sweet too.
I was glad that Jen told her mother she understood how she felt…she just shouldn’t have done it in front of her Dad. There was no need. When her parents were exchanging harsh words, I wondered if this went on all the time.
According to our birthday month & date we are both HIGHLY INTUITIVE. Not psychic but intuitive af. I loved this episode.
IMO, NJ is KILLING IT this year. Best year in a long time. I love the “Boys Club”, they add a counterpoint you cannot find in other franchises. Loving it.
I 100% that, Nancy! I haven’t enjoyed Jersey in some time, but do love it this season! The men are saving it (along with the Jersey shore scenes).
I watched this episode after a couple of glasses of wine and made a Skype appointment with the same psychic in nov. Not one of my proudest tipsy purchases! Also, I’ve never seen a psychic!!
Oh you are a much better drunk buyer than I am. I recently just bought a WHOLE LOT OF AVEENO lotion, two flashlights, and a pair of clean pajamas. I’ve been very practical in my purchases since this was a bad financial year.
I find all of these women interesting and watchable (Tre really only for the girls) I really loved your recap to TT!
I saw a psychic once. She told me 3 things. #1) I would have 3 children (I had a tubal scheduled at the time and my husband convinced me to cancel it, he would get a vasectomy) Well, THAT never happened and I am very grateful to have 3 children.
#2) She repeated twice, your husband is very possessive, I thought she meant he loved me so much, but she was right.
#3) I would be very healthy for the rest of my life. I believe that the mind controls the body, and I am very healthy 🤞. Well worth the $20.
I saw a psychic in college at a psychic fair they held in the student union. My psychic was a guy. He actually gave me a weird look from across the room while I was waiting in line and then by chance I wound up at his table. The psychic read auras and he told me my aura was very dark and asked me if I ever sought professional counseling. When I said I hadn’t, he asked me why. lol. Then he read some Native American dream cards or something and told me I was going to get married within the next year. This information kind of messed with my head and probably played a role in me sabotaging my relationship with my college boyfriend at the time. I did wind up getting married but not for more than ten years after that psychic reading.
We have “psychics” in my neighborhood. They tell you things like SOMEONE IN YOUR FAMILY IS GOING TO DIE. Give me fifty more dollars to tell you who.
Melissa was too much this episode with her wearing basic everyday clothing with a designer logo on it and passing that off as if they are dressy clothes.
I’m sure this is supposed to send the message to people that she has a lot of money but to me it does just the opposite.
All I notice when I see Melissa is a body to die for. LOL. They don’t seem to have a lot of money to me. They seem to have a lot of DEBT. Most actual rich people don’t flaunt their wealth. That’s because they have money, not things. I remember reading a long time ago that the number one vehicle for rich people was a Ford F-150 that may just be in the south though. They by land, not McMansions. These people are all fakers. All of them in every franchise. Kenya Moore is the most impressive with me on how to maximize her income. Nearly everything in her gorgeous home was installed in exchange for advertising, from her tiles to her toilets. All those high end kitchen appliances? Didn’t come from her check. She paid lik $900K for that very rare modern house. We aren’t really into the modern look in the south, but Yankees who move here LOVE THEM. She’s going to triple her investment on that house when she sells it and it is in the best school district. She is the smartest person on any franchise when it comes to money.
Well, other than Bethenny. She’s a financial genius.
