I’m a bit behind on recapping tonight due to multiple crises happening at once over her. My mind is in a few other places with family members at the moment. But I am so read for this RHONJ recap because it seems like we are going to the beach! Or as they say, “down the shore.” But, first we pick up with the fight between Dolores and Jackie. Frank comes to keep Dolores from killing Jackie. Dolores is not someone you want on your bad side. I don’t know why Dolores and Frank are not still together. Sure, he got disbarred without telling her. And he probably cheated. But these two are made for each other and need to work it out. David loved Frank more than he ever loved Dolores.
We All Hate Each Other, Let’s Go To The Beach!
Jennifer realizes that she was hurt and triggered by Margaret bragging about stealing someone husband. Meanwhile, Dolores and Jackie also try to have a calm conversation. Are there really two dueling conversations that are semi respectful? ON RHONJ? And fuck whoever pointed out Dolores weirdass elastic waist acid wash jeans! 🙂 It’s all I see now! Who told her that was a good look? She has a killer body and this is what she wears on TV???? Meanwhile, the guys are doing keg stands. Because, Jersey 1986.

Jackie seeks help for her eating disorder. Dolores and and Frank and their kids go out to dinner. They talk about the kids living with Frank. They need to hammer out things like Frank can’t bring women back to the house. The sex talk is kind of outrageous. This would be the first time both kids have ever lived with their father. Dolores tells them that she has broken up with David. Frank and the kids were very close to David. So they will still have a relationship with them. Is that weird? It seems kind of weird. But, what do I know?
Down the Shore…
God I miss parking my fat old ass on the beach. Maybe soon? It seems like most of them have a shore house. But it is really the shore or a river? This show would be better if it were The Real Househusbands of New Jersey. Less drama, more fun. Dolores is talking about all the stuff on social media about Teresa’s new man. Clearly, Teresa is getting what she deserves and I am here for it. Teresa is staying with Jennifer. Apparently she has a shore house. I thought that was repossessed? So she had enough mattress money to but a new one? Where is the retribution here? I think someone said she was RENTING a shore house. Teresa is a moron. She and Louis went to Audriana’s cheer competition or whatever it was. She thinks he is just great despite the many, many women on social media saying otherwise.

All the wives and all the husbands finally make it to the ocean. And yes, Dolores has a husband, his name is Frank. She just needs to admit that. There is no room for another man in her life. Jennifer is having to host the events later because Teresa’s rental is already occupied. In my opinion! Louis is not there. Everyone has seen the stuff about Louis. Both the husbands and the wives are talking about him behind Teresa’s back. Dolores is upset about David breaking up with her. So she continues to try to drive a wedge between Jennifer and Jackie. She tells her that Jackie made a comment about her husband sticking his dick in someone else. Oh, NOW things are going to get more Jersey.
But probably on the next episode. Apparently, Bill and Jennifer have a rental as well. Luis calls and Teresa tells him she is wearing a mic then we don’t hear much. He is on the way and wants to “get out of here.” He tells her to kill the mic. She does. Melissa says that Teresa texted her saying,”Do not say a word. Back up my boyfriend.” Hmm the shit is about to hit the fan? Then production talks to Teresa. They tell her Louie is very upset in the parking lot. Aw, his crap is all hitting the fan. Play stupid games with women, win stupid prizes. The producers tell her a lot of bad things are coming out about him. She wants to leave. She is such a moron.
Delores is super salty about what went down with Jackie and threw her ass under the bus and then reversed and ran her over.
Delores is gross. Acts, looks and speaks like she just fell out of her trailer in the pinelands.
I can’t wait to see how they handle creepy Luis’ creepy sex demands. Melissa should be nervous, Joe might not like that somebody is getting it more frequently than him!
You are gross! Is that really what you focused on? Delores was a correctional officer among other things! And many people live in trailers that are quite nice and working hard to improve their lives…and some are people that worked hard and retired in a mobile home…so stop yourself !
Thank you so very much for this!!!! It always infuriates me when people use the word “trailer” as an insult. I know many good people who live in trailers and I know many low life, trashy people who live in big ass houses. I also hate when people use the word “retarded” as an insult. Don’t even get me started on that one. I have had many hot moments over that. Choose your words people.
You are absolutely right Pamela! I bought my trailer when I became an empty nester. I’m divorced and had recently become disabled so I couldn’t manage a big home and yard (or the mortgage that went with it) on my own. It looks just like a small house, with a cute porch on the front where I love to sit and read.
I always like reading your posts, especially today. You are very cool BeachMary!😊 Your home sounds awesome.
Delores grew up in Paterson — not near the Pinelands. No trailer parks there either. A person can’t help where they were born and raised. And her job as a corrections officer naturally made her tougher than someone who worked at Bloomingdales.
Beets are you from the NJ/Philly area. I’m south of Philly right by the Delaware border and you NAILED the description of Delores LOLOL!
I bet you won’t say that ‘ish to her face.
I wonder if they are going to place Jackie in an IOP (intensive outpatient program) I also wonder who initially treated her or if she was ever really treated for her ED. Surely she would have known about all the physical manifestations?
Well she is NOT stupid! She’s a Lawyer! In case you hadn’t heard, over and over again! And also, just my experience in life, and I’m old, most women who have An ED don’t really dress like she does. They usually try to hide it with big baggy clothes! But again, that’s just MY experiences……but I am biased and will admit I cannot stand her….
I have never liked her but admire her filming at Renfrew. It may help someone struggling in a similar situation.
Well I don’t think she is the poster child for help for these women struggling! She smirked and rolled her eyes at Jennifer for getting lipo, so basically saying starve yourself and suffering is the answer! She is not 17, she is almost fifty and has gone to rehab already!! She knows Exactly what she is doing and it’s keeping her job while exposing her own children to this! Shame on her! And her husband let’s her do it, cause “ she won’t lose an argument “. Nice hubby, let your wife DIE to keep the peace! They are both self absorbed assholes!
I think your making a lot of assumptions about eating disorders/disordered eating, how the present/manifest. It’s uninformed and mean.
Don’t like Jackie or any person on the shows – ok.
Don’t attacking her for “showing” that disorder eating occurring. It’s so much more than “not eating” or why you wear.
Read your expertise below. I guess we all have our own views of how to display and or manage disordered eating behavior.
Clearly you’ve never been treated for an eating disorder or spent much time in those environments. If you have to say “I’m old” or “that’s just my experience”, chances are good that what you’re saying isn’t valuable or accurate.
Well I was treated for an Ed by doctors and psychiatric care, but thank you for discounting my treatment cause you were there….My treatment was many years ago….and I am older and I’m sure treatments have changed since then…but thanks for disputing my disorder and experience , again cause you were there….not sorry I’m older and you can judge me all you want! And CLEARLY you have NO idea what I have experienced…,you don’t know me and Honestly I would rather not know you….
Sorry you had to deal with that idiot, Pamela. She’s new, and has been reseated to the WLS.
Thank you…it’s all good. Hope you have a great day
I call BS on this entire storyline. In an article from November 2018 on People.com, Jackie told the reporter that she had been in RECOVERY FOR THE PAST FOUR YEARS from anorexia. She claimed that she suffered from age 26 through 36 and then sought treatment. She stated that she used to exercise obsessively, weighed her food, and had to be the thinnest person in the room. Therefore, Jackie knows exactly what is entailed in treating an ED, especially the need for medical clearance. Why wasn’t any of this info revealed during the episode?? Relapses are quite common with EDs. Maybe being on this show presented a trigger because all of the ladies focus on their outward appearance and fans can be quite critical.
And where the hell is her husband? I’m sorry but if my spouse is skeletal and eating nothing but lettuce I’m going step up and get them help! I had a huge lump on my breast and I ignored it because I had to go to work, hubby said bullshit and we went in and I had stage two cancer! He saved my life! Bless him! That’s love! Not “let mommy do what she wants don’t ask her, don’t upset her”. That’s bullshit! She rolls her eyes at Jennifer for getting Lipo and says she’s cheating regarding weight loss but saying Starve yourself cause that’s the right way? Go fuck yourself Jackie! And why IS your husband ALWAYS a day late for weekend getaways? ALWAYS!
Damn!! Angry much? Addictions are handled in the best way the addict knows how. She is clearly suffering, why go fuck herself? She didn’t roll her eyes at Jennifer, that was production/editing. She has had a tummy tuck herself. And her husband is probably a day late because he has a JOB, like a real job. He can’t just take off just because they are “going down to the shore”. And these addictions are not like cancer, you have to cure yourself, it is extremely difficult and lasts a lifetime. Have a heart.
I do have a heart! She has been in rehab before, she knows the repercussions…and yeah she did roll her eyes at Jennifer two reunions or so ago….and her husband? I get the job thing, believe me, but who lets their spouse look skeletal and not do something? Not mine! I have a heart for her kids that are seeing this! Not all about her…she has a family and her husband just says, don’t say anything, don’t upset mommy…bullshit! If you have to, drag her into rehab and save her life! WTF! And I have also experienced an ED when I was young, and yes it’s hard, but if she is almost dying, get the fuck off reality tv and take care of yourself and your family…..so yeah, I am a little pissed off!
I hear you as saying that if your husband had not stood up for your health and got you to the doctor, you on your own may have waited too late therefore dying a hard death. He did what a loved one should do, he helped you help yourself. Because of that you are alive. To be an enabler or passive would not have saved your life. I’m glad your husband was strong when you needed him. That’s what you want for Jackie. Evan is a passive enabler.
I actually do agree with you. I was addicted to narcotics (prescribed) and my husband looked the other way for years. When I mentioned I wanted to go to treatment he was hesitant. I went for 2 weeks, went to a meeting a day for a year and he went to 3. We are divorced, he was not into having a wife who was an admitted addict. Sorry, my reply was so wrong-
She needed a storyline…
I never understand how people go on a reality show and do not want to show their reality…. IDK how Teresa expects the cast not to talk about the video? Teresa said “Luis didn’t sign up for this” ma’am he signed the release to show his face, and is your storyline, he signed up for this. plus Teresa needs to remember this is her job and only source of income. Last year Evan didn’t sign up for the cheating rumor but she said it on camera, hypocrisy at its finest. I don’t blame Melissa bring it up the rest of the group at end of the episode because again its reality it’s something going on, plus it was blasted on social media, it couldn’t be ignored. Teresa needs to stop with this blind allegiance. as well are the cast just supposed to stay quiet at the party and not talk about him, so dumb. over all kind of slow episode.
BTW i love when Housewives break the 4th wall, i know its happen a million times but i always fine it amazing!
I read that season 2 of the ULTIMATE TRIP they break the fourth wall. (On google)
(*only problem is the cast, blah…..lol)
Speaking of RHUGT – I am just now watching season 1. I did not recognize Kyle she has had so much work done on her face – what a shame. Then I started looking at everyone’s face, they have all had major work done, especially in the lip section OMG they all look like that cartoon character who has the big lips and smokes a cigar (can’t think of the name).
You talked about RH house husbands, lol!! I watched the beginning of season 3 today, because I noticed bravo had it on. Remember hot head Joe’s, they were a mess. Also a vintage Dolores showed up then (prefer her without the fillers personally). The one thing that struck the most about this episode was how easily controlled Tre is by men, I though she learned a little something from Joe. It really saddens me. She doesn’t need a man but yet here is this schumk trying to ruin her paying gig, so lame. Oh yes also the Melissa telling everyone about Tre saying to be quiet and back her up, lol, no wonder why Tre hates her!
Theresa used to have a shore house not too far from where I live. In the same township, but her house was on the water. It was on the bay, not the ocean. To get to the ocean she’d have to drive for a mile or two and across the causeway. It looks like these houses are all on the bay side or inlets off of the bay. Depending on the town, houses on the bay can cost $500k and up. Way up. Cross that bay to the ocean and they start at a million, maybe you can get a $900k “tear down”. It’s ridiculous. I am poor so I bought a mobile home and in eight minutes I am on the same beach, listening to that glorious ocean! I live here year round though. My mobile home is not my “shore house”, it’s my only house! The beautiful island across the bay used to be a sleepy village. It doesn’t even have a boardwalk, so it’s not usually full of marauding gangs of drunk kids. Melissa’s house looks to be north of me in a town very popular for boozing it up and going out at night. I’d have loved that in my 20’s or even early30’s. Now I’m a cranky old lady who wants peace and quiet. I get it in September when all the tourists leave and we have what we call “locals summer”. Ahhhh, heaven.
Mary, sounds marveloua! Am LI native and childhood friends would summer in lavallette every year. But from looking at rhonj lots of growth since those days. Enjoy your year round home!
Catherine, I too had childhood friends who had a summer house in Lavallette! I grew up in The Bronx and it was Jones Beach and The Hamptons for us. Our summer shares looked nothing like Summer House, lol. We’re talking 25,30 people jam packed into a three bedroom house! I saw the Jersey Shore for the first time when I was in my 40’s!
Love these stories!
so we are probably cousins from way back LOL= am a Nassau county girl so same except would go to Hemstead Harbor/Bar Beach since lived on N. Shore but not really ever swim there more for sunning 🙂 ( when one actually purposefully sit out for hours, who knew? ) for swimming- Jones Beach and when older West Hampton, Hampton Bays, summer shares were VERY different back then! but loads of fun before the celebrities came & took over & drove prices sky high. great memories.
Mary, I’m guessing where you generally are, I’m both happy & envious, & I love local summer in NJ..
Never was able to live or rent down the shore, but grew up & lived in the nebulous (lol!) Central NJ-close enough to drive down every day to just walk in glorious September and October 🙂
It’s challenging in summer when it takes half an hour to drive to the supermarket that’s half a mile away, and then you’re pushed and shoved by the summer visitors. But it’s the price you pay for living in a vacation area. People made fun of me for buying a mobile home, but they’re the same who beg to come and stay in the summer! 😂
Y’all stop making me want to go to New Jersey! LOL. I would love to live on the beach.
I also noticed that Melissa and Joe’s house is still on the cottage side rather than the standard three story duplex houses that replace them. They also have a REAL fireplace! Jennifer’s abomination of a house may have 83 bedrooms but they don’t have one real fireplace. Sad.
This show used to be more to look forward to
Its becoming a bore.
Love her or be bothered by her, Teresa is the draw here.
Everyone else just talks about her, and makes it their storyline
Melissa, Marge- no real storylines
Deloros is trying to make sure she sticks around another season, with her antics.
Jackie Tracy dont make for fun watching
Show needs a rehaul…
Bravo has created a monster, amongst many.
Who does Teresa think she is? Does she really think she can dictate what is or is not on the show. You and your weirdo boyfriend signed releases to be on a reality show, do you really think that your boyfriend’s naked Lord of the Rings antics would not come to the surface and most certainly be discussed. Laughable.
Teresa who set up Melissa in stripper gate, went after Jackie’s marriage…on and on.
I fast forwarded Dolores’s segment, with the exception of calling out Jackie.
Absolutely no sympathy for Jennifer, Teresa and her are cut from the same cloth. They have had an alliance since day one. Hmmm, I wonder how long that will last. Careful Teresa, Jennifer is a formidable opponent.
Yay Margaret and Dolores for calling out the hypocrisy.
Totally agree with all of this.
Teresa is insufferable. She treated Melissa horribly in the early seasons – She can dish it out but cannot take it.
And I cannot stand that stupid look on her face … her mouth hanging open. You can almost see the rusty gears churning in her brain as she tries to keep up.
Will never understand the love for her.
Teresa is a girl who knows how to cut the mike! This is going to be good.
My husband walked into the room when I was watching the show, and I paused it, when Jackie happened to be on the screen. He says, “wow, she’s hot” and I yell at him that she is LITERALLY at a facility for help with her eating disorder! In this scene. Maddening. We are going to have to have a talk later.
When Jackie went to the ED facility, I wish they’d had a doctor on staff that could examine her that day so she could get started on a treatment plan. I could understand their concern/requirement that she see her doctor before they start treating her, but that delay could mean she’ll just call off the whole thing.
I thought it was really ballsy of Teresa to tell Jennifer that she was going to have her barbecue at Jennifer’s rental because there were too many people at her place. You don’t get to see production on camera very often so last night was interesting. I agree with the statement that Luis signed a waiver to appear on camera so he has to take the bad times with the good. I know Teflon Teresa will probably have a job as a Housewife until she doesn’t want it anymore and Bravo will never fire her, but what she pulled last night was wrong on so many levels. She wanted to have her boyfriend on the show. If his past is coming back to haunt him now, too f’ing bad for him.
Teresa has been doing the reality gig for awhile so she knew they were going to bring up her boyfriends issues. I think she thought she was Bethany. I feel bad for Jackie. She is always trying to put on a show for others. I know she signed up for this but its hard watching it
Did anyone else notice how LOUD Melissa was on that episode from start to finish? She has no story so thinks”I’ll be loud for screen time” WTF? Pretty much over Melissa, Margaret (who I used to love, she made me laugh) but now she is just MEAN and Jackie, she is just full of shit all the time….and don’t mess with my Delores! For some reason I just love her. Who do you want in a foxhole with you? Delores kicking ass or Jackie stating I’m a lawyer? Hmmm…and Theresa, well their would be no show without her I gotta say, love or hate her she makes great reality TV, for instance most of the comments are about HER! Just sayin!
I really don’t like Melissa and think she needs to go.
Joe is the one keeping her there, but she has NO STORYLINE, except making “oh, I am so put off by Joooeee!!!! faces, and “Don’t say that” when he endlessly wants to “do her” ugh, ugh and ugh!
LOL have I mentioned how much I don’t like her!!
AND…..Melissa thought she is so cute drunk, that was why the loud obnoxious I think “faking drunk” like she’s 14.
She’s always drinkin, not that I care or it matters.
Maybe she’s trying to get some Jennifer drunk attention.
It was stupid because I purposely watched, and it seemed VERY FAKE, because she said it first thing to EVERYONE as she greeted them.
AND ……..😊
I didn’t buy the first show of her suddenly has become the wife Joe wants, and him changing his way.
Nope, think she’s a Bethany. (Controlling appearance)
And i love how she shows her ass to the cameras every chance she gets! I mean she looks great, but c’mon! Your viewers are women! I think! Now she will use Theresa for a storyline… per usual! Oh well!
LOL, yeah she definitely is her biggest fan.
She has crossed into attention seeking and it just is not cute.
I think she may be struggling with some jealousy, her husband is more popular than she is. AHA!!😊
I did not appreciate how she squealed at the pepperoni Joe was preparing, thus setting him up for yet another corny sex joke. 🙄
Get a new schtick, youse two!
Thank you for the recap. Again I fell asleep 😴 before the episode.
I love reading the recap first.
I’m to the show! It actually sounds like it’s worth watching.😊
Jennifer looks really pretty in her interviews. The black and silver.😊
Cheryl, I agree!
Delores isn’t with Frank anymore because he treated her like shit, cheated on her multiple times AND moved out of their home with his Brazilian girlfriend even though she begged him to stay.
Great guy that Frank.
Hey y’all. The only HW show I actually watch is Miami (soooo good). But I can’t 100% breakaway from the others, so I’m here daily for the Tattles.
Was this season filmed before or after the Ultimate Girls Trip (which I also watched and it was also soooo good)?
Miami has really improved since the show has been revived on Peacock ! # OBSEESSED with RHOM !
Oh yay, it’s on today!! Thanks for the reminder.😊
Season Finale!
It’s challenging in summer when it takes half an hour to drive to the supermarket that’s half a mile away, and then you’re pushed and shoved by the summer visitors. But it’s the price you pay for living in a vacation area. People made fun of me for buying a mobile home, but they’re the same who beg to come and stay in the summer! 😂
I get the feeling Teresa is angling to walk off the show and into a spin-off. Or am I crazy?
To Tennessee Says: Yes! You got it! And yes mine was not a self induced addiction, but most addicts cannot help themselves…they lie and say I’m good, under control, they hide it when they can, they get mad at everyone noticing things….example Jackie! She is not well and Evan is trying to “Let her handle it” she cannot! She needs help from outside and he needs to see this instead of trying to keep the peace! He needs to YELL at her “ YOU ARE DYING “. And get her help asap!
This last comment was for Nancyinthesmokies as well! Sorry not sorry!
I replied but not in the correct place. I apologize. I guess I wish I had a husband who would have stuck up for me.
You are absolutely right Pamela! I bought my trailer when I became an empty nester. I’m divorced and had recently become disabled so I couldn’t manage a big home and yard (or the mortgage that went with it) on my own. It looks just like a small house, with a cute porch on the front where I love to sit and read.
Awe! I love that! My Grandma had a mobile home close to all of us, and it was the best place ever! We were young and would go hang out with her! She would have tabloid mags and make the best southern meals ever, she was from Alabama, we were in CA! Navy beans and corn bread, chicken and home made dumplings! It was awesome! She was the best person I ever knew and I miss her soooo! But yes, “trailers and mobile home can be quaint and comfy!!! And there is Nothing like a porch!! My grandma would chew her tabacco on the porch, but such a southern lady, we would NEVER see her doing it! Ha! Good for you! Enjoy!!!
We should pizza party at Pete and Elda”s. Should you ever need a hand to walk on the beach I’m right down the road,I’ll share the load if you just call me. With love from Jersey.
Ohhh! I wanna go and sit on the porch!! I love that! Good for you TD! So jealous! Hopefully you get together and gossip about our girls! Have fun!
Explanation point(s) taken. Who doesn’t love a porch? More important to love everyone whether they sit on a porch or in the shade.
I actually do agree with you. I was addicted to narcotics (prescribed) and my husband looked the other way for years. When I mentioned I wanted to go to treatment he was hesitant. I went for 2 weeks, went to a meeting a day for a year and he went to 3. We are divorced, he was not into having a wife who was an admitted addict. Sorry, my reply was so wrong-
