It’s time for another RHONJ recap and tonight Joe Gorga spills the beans about Teresa’s shady as fuck boyfriend. In other words, it’s a perfect match. It looks like a crazy episode. So let’s get straight to it.
The food at Jennifer’s house always looks so good. While the ladies chow down, they talk about their mother’s and how sad they feel for Teresa. Jennifer has renovated a house for her mother so she can be close to her. Jennifer tells Dolores’ mother that the psychic said that David is not her soulmate. Dolores is pissed about it. Dolores is happy with the way things are. Two or three of the mothers live apart from their husbands. Jennifer’s mother is embarrassed that she and her husband live apart.

Next, we are off to the golf course where the husbands are playing golf. None of them really seem to play golf except for Joe Gorga. Margaret’s Joe is awful. Oh wait, Jackie’s husband is good. They make a lot of silly bets and Frank loses and has to kiss Joe Gorga’s ass. Ew. That was a fun little outing but a very short scene. They clearly all just wanted to go to the 19th hole. Then, they all go to the club and order drinks and appetizers. They all talk about their wives. The guys start to talk about their wives. But then, the conversation turns to Teresa’s new boyfriend. They are grilling Joe Gorga. He says he likes the guy and she is in love. It’s true that men gossip just as much as women, if not more.
Felons Apparently Just Stay Rich
Teresa goes to look for a new house. She’s looking a modern, clean houses. It’s nothing like the gaudy place she lives in now. It’s really pretty. And it has a basement apartment for Gia. It’s a really nice house. It’s $2,195,000. Since apparently Teresa and Joe have a lot of mattress money apparently from their shady ways, she can afford it. I hear that property taxes in NJ are insanely expensive. The real estate agent wants to set her up with a guy. But she is already involved with Louie.

Melissa and Margaret take their Joes to a beautiful outdoor dining area on the water. It’s really nice. The Margaret brings up that Joe told all the guys and Melissa has a new man and is already in love. Melissa is trying not to confirm or deny because she and Joe were sworn to secrecy. Margaret orders “eggs Savannah style.” I used to live in Savannah and never heard of such a thing. Then again, I don’t eat eggs. Melissa irritated with Joe for spilling all of the tea. Joe really likes Louis. Dolores had to go to get an ultrasound on her breast. She went alone with a driver. She’s really very nervous about it. But everything came back fine.
Rock Out With Your Cocktail Out!
Everyone is going to a cocktail party at Teresa’s lawyer’s house. The wives all tell their husbands not to let Joe Gorga get them too wasted. Which means the storyline is all the guys get wasted. The food looks amazing! Right away the guys start playing the video they took of Frank kissing Joe Gorga’s ass. And sadly, we got to see it crack and all. Everyone is talking about how Teresa is in love with her new man. The realtor lady is shocked because she invited a date for Teresa to the party. Margaret tells Teresa that Joe Gorga told all the guys she is in a relationship and they are in love. Ut Oh. She’s pissed.

This is one fancy party. I feel like the realtor actually paid for it. It’s a few steps above the usual Bravo fare. Poor Dave shows up hoping for a date with Teresa but she is not having it. Teresa and Jackie are getting along just fine at this party. The ladies start wondering where Delores is. Apparently, he boyfriend David got her a new Porsche for her birthday. Melissa thinks this is David biding his time so he doesn’t have to propose. Let the shots begin! Dolores arrives with her date, Frank. When are these two going to get married? Or Frank could marry David. The guys all think David is postponing the engagement with the car.
Dolores Is Broken?
Teresa is busy texting her boyfriend and ignoring everyone. Then, Teresa makes a quick exit. She says she needs to be home with the girls but everyone knows she is leaving to be with her man. Dolores defends her friend and says the Teresa has been through a lot. Let her have her man. She also understands why she doesn’t want to tell everyone all about it. This crowd is very judgmental. Joe starts talking about Dolores’ relationship. She tells Joe that she’s fine with her relationship and she doesn’t want a husband who freaks out if she walks in front of him.

Joe starts going off about how Frank ruined Delores when he cheated on her. So, now she is broken. Clearly, Joe Gorga is wasted. Dolores calls Joe a Neanderthal. Jackie has some interesting opinions about what is going on. She thinks that Joe is really sending a message to Teresa about how much she needs him. I don’t think Joe Gorga is that smart and to me Jackie is overthinking it. Dolores says she is happy. Margaret says that Joe Gorga is chauvinistic. Melissa may be overserved too because in this group she loudly tells Dolores that everyone thinks the Porsche was an effort to stall instead of buying her a ring. Dolores tells everyone that she is very happy in her relationship and then asks Frank to take her home. Dolores tells every to go fuck themselves.
Next week: We meet Teresa’s true love, Jennifer has a huge fight with her mother and Joe Gorga tells Melissa they are done.
Jennifer’s father still lives with her and she and her mother are not speaking according to Jennifer on WWHL. She also says she has no mortgage on her house, but it sounds like they may still have construction loans.
I live in the same town as Jennifer and have to pass her home almost everyday. It looks nothing like the home shown on the show. It’s always vacant, lawn unkempt, even the fountain is dirty and shut off. I only think they use it for filming purposes cause nobody is ever there.
Is it a set? Where does she live?
It looks like it sits really close to her neighbors on both sides.
Always vacant? Do you think they don’t live there? That’s interesting- wow. If that’s the case- more Bravo deception. I’m beginning to think they are truly hiring women more as “actresses” now- that really don’t live in the mansions they portray.
I remember Delores saying, about Jennifer ‘s house “yeah, it’s big, with no furniture in it”
Wondered if it was just they were slowly furnishing? But sounds like it may be for filming. Hunh.
Also, the episode down at the Jersey shore, Delores said that Melissa thinks “it’s her show” or something to that effect. So I started watching her and she is doing certain tricks. Like always walking first, in or out so it appears she is the main person.
She looks at the camera often as well. She is constantly ON display aha!!
Bad thing is that I’m constantly watching her, which is annoying, LOL.
Not to mention I think she wears underwear the least on the show🤪
I thought Teresa was the no panties announcer lol.😊
Jennifer had furniture that she got in China? Also, some designer redid some of her rooms downstairs. They had before and after photos. They also said in the Behind The Scenes episode, that each one of her children designed their own bedroom.
Now THIS is some good tea!!! Put another pot on, come back, and serve us some more!!
I love Bill, he seems like a wonderful husband and just a great all around person. Also Dolores has either jacked up makeup or lighting or both on WWHL tonight, I can barely watch it because Dolores looks so weird! Jennifer looks perfectly put together on WWHL.
Is it just me or has Delores completely changed how she dresses? She used to dress so classy.
Kay, I’m officially old now. I couldn’t watch Delores on WWHL with her breasts hanging. I couldn’t watch Margaret who showed up with the ladies at lunch wearing a negligee. And I spent the hour trying to understand why Jackie wore a braid as a headband.
Doesn’t it seem like Margaret is always pulling up her dress straps? Is she uncomfortable with her new breast?
Just bad tailoring, wrong size and wrong fabric choices. They stand up on their own now, but you can’t help something that’s ill fitting.
That’s truly sad if it’s poor tailoring because she’s a fashion designer right?
She is? I though she sold those cosmetic fashion purses you buy in bulk that didn’t sell retail wise. Maybe she can team up with Sheree!
I don’t know why all the HWs seem to love these dresses that are off-the-shoulder with boobs hanging out. I kept waiting for Delores’ to pop out. Is it my imagination or does she look different? Maybe it’s the shorter hair (which I love) but her face looks like it might have had some tweaks. IDK
You don’t need to have giant, half-exposed boobs to look good. Personally, I think it makes them look fat. I love some of the outfits Melissa has worn — that white one-piece bathing suit looked great on her. She has a great body.
I think its Dolores interview outfit in pink her boobs look great, on WWHL they looked deflated. Maybe she removed her implants. I know with a lift, natural ones just don’t pop out like implants. And yes the face was a bit different, but could be too much of Frankie’s self tanner and bronzer. Honestly Melissa has a body that you could put a burlap sac in, she’s still sexy, Joe should thank God every night for her, hah🤪
I thought it was a very funny episode. I think they should just let them all hangout and chew the fat – there’s enough personality to film fun content. They don’t need to manufacture fake drama – I think we’re over that. I find it boring and tedious – I think the Delores David conversation is insufferable. I don’t care.
When the create the stupid drama it wrecks the personalities – Jennifer is still on my Shit list from last season. I also don’t like how she’s trading on her family dramas, I don’t think her elderly parents should be put through her star thirst.
Thanks for the recap. Cannot wait to get home from work & watch this episode. That photo of Frank kissing Joe Gorga’s bottom is HILARIOUS. I love the husbands on this franchise. They have no boundaries or fears about being seen as less than manly men which I find endearing. They may not be the smartest group men but they are the most warm loving & genuine. A rarity on Bravo.
I totally agree. I love the Jersey hubbies. They are truly friends who enjoy each other’s company and have so much fun together.
Remember the days of old with Slade, Brooks, David Bador, from the OC, ewwww….I will take these Joe’s, Frank, Bill, sometimes Even and David any day!!
I’m loving this season, love the men, and agree with the other comment about there being enough personality and natural vibrancy among the members of this group that the producers should just let “the reality happen” (in the style of Carlos KIng) without needing to manufacture anything fake. This group could carry that.
Its eggs Havana style…sunny side up eggs over a bed of stewed tomatoes, onions, peppers (bell and pimento), garlic, butter, sherry. Not a big of eggs either personally.
We call it shakshushka. Shakshuka literally means “a mixture” and the traditional version uses tomatoes, onions and spices as the base with eggs poached on top. Very popular is Israel and other nearby countries.
Yes, it was a Cuban restaurant.
Why does teresa have the fake high voice all of a sudden? It’s annoying AF. They all need to get off Dolores ass and go figure out their own marriages. If she’s happy, why are they so concerned? Frankly? I think they are all jealous of her. I love Jennifer’s husband Bill. And she’s growing on me. I said it in last weeks comment but I’d watch a show on the two of them, those kids and her parents. Just have every episode be her mom cooking and feeding people. That spread she put out at the tea party??? GORGEOUS!!
Heres my beef, but not with just this show but all the HW shows, why do they film and show things out of order. Are shows or scenes that bland, they stick it in earlier in the season to build up the drama, or start it off drama filled to get you hooked. It was obvious with Brandi, the show was just thrown together because of when she started really showing was different each week. Last nights episode did the same thing. Jackie and her mom get her hair done early on in the season, here at the party it was back to the original white. So if say things are staged like the Even cheating thing do producers remind the girls of the story’s or they have table reads to see how the season will play out. Because it does feel like the shows have some continuity to em with storylines, Kary is a drunken bitch and hates D’andra to the Jackie/Tre fight, fake melissa stuff. I know they do reshoots but this is just like making a movie, film the end, then middle stuff, go back film the beginning. I just never noticed till I watched it back.
Dolores (and Dina (and Jacklyn) have ALL been jealous of Melissa, and she is enjoying her position VERY much. She has everything they want, if Joe doesn’t screw it up. I love the guido bunch, but have they jumped the shark? The Marge can do no wrong in my eyes.
The realtor DEFINITELY paid for the food, etc. SO above the usual fare! And she was like audibly saying “If I knew Theresa had a boyfriend, I wouldn’t have had this party.” Or something like that. She’s getting compensated enough having her business advertised for free. The Turkish tea was head and shoulders above any table I have ever seen. Except Shah’s. I love this season and recap.
This was a great episode, very revealing and rampant gossiping.
One thing to note is that Margaret’s Joe, yet again, said he heard her talking about T’s new man while he was egging on Joe to spill the beans. Clearly the cast was already well aware of her dating situation, were talking about it, and were looking for a way to start discussing it on camera. Of course it was Margaret who victoriously announced it to the room at large once the cat was out of the bag.
Also, Dolores’ walkoff was amazing. Fuck you, fuck you and goodnight lol.
I’ll also say that despite how obviously contrived the Melissa/Joe marital problems storyline is, Joe does seem to have a real problem with her. In his confessional he used the word “fame”, and I keep picking up on a bit of passive-aggressive behavior from him but not Melissa, who clearly thinks she is making TV gold with her BS. I’m not saying they will get divorced at all, but Melissa is playing with fire here.
