It is so hard to watch the scenes with Caroline & Lauren. Not only is the storyline incredibly boring, but it really disgusts me the way Caroline is to her. How about instead of calling her a "chunk-a-munk" (WTH?!?) or encouraging her to go on some ridiculous liquid eqq whites diet, you get her REAL support? Like a trainer? Nutritionist? Biggest Loser? Anyone?!?

Now I just read in Caroline's blog (http://www.bravotv.com/the-real-housewives-of-new-jersey/season-4/blogs/caroline-manzo/world-war-iii) that Lauren DID get the lapband. sad2:

What is it with this family and lap band surgery?! I mean damn, I thought Albert was just joking about getting her the lap band...guess not!

This really bothers me too. I am so over Caroline. I bet if they just let her be, stopped talking about it, and just accepted her she would be a lot happier with herself. How can you constantly put your daughter down about her weight?? It's like Caroline and Albert see her as a failure. She is funny, smart and pretty. Get over it. We all come in different shapes and sizes. Just because one is a size 6 and the next a size 12 doesn't mean that one is better than the other. Just shut up already. And I am sad to hear that she did get the lap band. What a waste. Happiness doesn't lie in a number on a scale. They are just reinforcing the stereotype that to be young, pretty and successful you also need to be thin and that is just sad.
 
I think I do remember Teresa saying she got paid for these articles. Now she's saying no. I honestly believe that she has been paid for them and I also thinks that she is "the source close to the Gorgas" that is always commenting. If you notice that some of the online articles always have "that source" and it's always negitive stuff about Melissa.

Teresa said she was paid for photos and not paid for articles. She also pointed out (wedding episode I think?) that Jacqueline has been paid for photos too and knows how it works.
 
Where did she go to college? I'm just wondering because my oldest is a rising senior and I want to be sure that the school is not on her list. :scared1:
:laughing:

But I do agree with you, they are all a mess. Teresa is just extra special! :rolleyes1

On the Bravo site it states that Teresa graduated from Berkeley College with a degree in Fashion Marketing and Management. But ChaCha says that Teresa attended Berkeley but never got her degree. Bravo site also says she worked as associate buyer for Macy's. I wish her old boss would come out and give a interview.

Bottom line is that Melissa is a gold digger, no doubt, but Teresa is so insanely jealous of Melissa's relationship with her brother that she can't even see straight. I think that no matter who Joe Gorga married, Teresa would have an issue with her. I also believe that she is the source of Dina and Caroline's fight as well.

I feel bad for Jacqueline and Kathy. I think that they really have heart and are truely hurt from all of this. I'm interested to see how this all plays out.

I don't think she said she was getting paid for the articles, but she was saying financial thing - meaning she was getting free exposure for her books and such. On What's happening Live she made very clear that the ONLY article she was paid for was the one she and Jacqueline did together with their baby pictures. She said she hasn't been paid for any other.

The more I'm learning about Melissa and this Danielle angle, I'm starting to really get why she hates Melissa so much. When 'family' goes to your 'enemy' to 'take you down' its a problem - a major one. AND your brother too - on national tv. They want to be famous that much. This is way beyond anything I can even imagine.
 
I am thinking that "scene" at Jackqueline's was filmed for hours and hours, trying to get a rise out of Teresa-it started in bright sun-and ended in pitch black darkness-they must have called Caroline over to get more reactions from teresa-so fake:lmao:

In Jacqueline blog she said it was 5 hours
 
In Jacqueline blog she said it was 5 hours

No "friend" of mine would stick around for 5 hours of grilling...Theresa doesn't do anything she doesn't want to do! If she thinks it will benefit (or profit $$) her in some way, she's game.

I agree. As much as I think some of this is fake (or scripted) some of this is real. No way I would stick around for 5 hours of that. Maybe they had dinner or something and came back to the conversation. I don't know.
 
I keep thinking that if Caroline or Jac really want to know if Teresa is getting paid by the tabloids, they should call and pretend they want to put out a article and find out how the tabloids do things.
 
I couldn't believe that an "educated" woman like Teresa actually told her daughters not to touch the frogs because they can get warts. Seriously?

I think we all know they all get paid for quotes, articles and photos.
 
I have no respect for any of these women on this show. Each one has her own agenda and could care less about who they hurt. The shows are basically the same week after week. I have to think the ratings are dropping...
 
Anything that comes out of Teresa's mouth is a lie. She does not even know how to tell the truth anymore. I cannot stand her.
 
I thought Caroline said her anger wasn't about this cookbook?

I wonder if Teresa got so upset because Jacqueline was discussing this on tv instead of not on camera. Or was she offended because Jacqueline would actually believe the magazine. I can't imagine Teresa actually putting out an article that she herself was going to jail. Somebody else going to jail, yeah but not herself. This Melissa/Danielle thing is interesting. I remember Teresa becoming VERY upset about Danielle mentioning her family. This is what caused Teresa to push Andy during the reunion. You guys remember that. It was Danielle's comment about her family that set her off. She was screaming don't talk about my family. Why would Melissa do that? I guess she wanted to be famous that bad.

At the time of that reunion, Theresa did not know that Melissa was in contact with Danielle trying to become her friend to "shoot" scenes with her. They have all admitted now (Theresa, Kathy and Melissa) that things were not good prior to Kathy and Melissa joining the show. They have all said now that Theresa was in the dark up until the shooting with Melissa and Kathy began. Who doesn't tell the sister in law that Bravo contacted them (or more like Melissa and Kathy begging) and interviewed them??? They wait until all contracts are signed and then right before shooting tell Theresa. They are on the show to bring Theresa down. This Joey thing with him pretending to make up to Theresa? Who calls their sister garbage on the first show? Who are the people always bringing up Theresa's name or her problems wherever she goes? Theresa isn't walking into a party, sitting down and saying "hey Melissa, heard you and Joey are selling your house". Nope, everytime Theresa goes somewhere, one of them corners her for a "heart to heart" LOL I'm venturing to guess, they were brought on the show for drama.

Now, to get back to Danielle. It came out that Danielle had said about the nephew at the renunion. Theresa went into a rage and had no idea Melissa had been talking to Danielle crap about Theresa. (so much for...I"m the good one yuk). You never heard one thing about Theresa's family until they came on the show.

The tweet Jaqueline is now supposedly upset about is that Danielle tweeted Theresa (not as Jacqueline said...why would you get ahold of Danielle). Theresa then asked her if Melissa had contacted her, trying to get the lo down. I don't see where that is a breech in Jacqueline and Theresa's friendship. If anything, Jacqueline as a friend to Theresa should have been encouraging Theresa to get to the truth about Melissa. Even if it was someone that I did not like. I'd get the info and then run. Doesn't mean Theresa is now best buddies with Danielle, just means Danielle has info.

Now, Jacqueline supposedly as Theresa's best buddy has begun to become friends with Melissa and Kathy. If I told my best friend that my sister does x and x to me and she became buddies with my sister, that is a breech of my best friendship (is that a term????).

Did you all see how smug Caroline looked as Theresa was walking away? The first few seasons she had people going after Danielle, now she has people going after Theresa. Caroline is a big stirrer of trouble and then stands back and lets others do her dirty work for her.

Theresa has said over and over that she gets paid for some pictures and not the articles, so last night when they asked her if she got paid for the article and she said no, that was the truth. They didn't ask her if she got paid for the picture. It also amazes me how many people believe that what goes into a magazine is exactly what the person said. Theresa is not an intelligent person but as someone said on the message boards, she is comic relief. She says such dumb things, it's humorous. I hope that Melissa, Joey and Kathy enjoy the fame that they so desired that they were willing to destroy their family for. I know a few people in that area and trust me, Melissa and Joey are not innocent one little bit.

The families there tend to be very protective and quiet about their financial situations and I have been told, Theresa's family is like that same as the "we don't believe in therapy". That's very common. They can talk about the people down the street, cooking but their own financial business or their spouses out galavanting is kept quiet within the family. I personally don't like anyone on the show but I also am not enjoying Bravo with their gang mentality any longer. They find the weak, create scenerios and do the gang up. Alexis, Theresa, Alex, Kim. New York (after Alex) and Atlanta have too much strong women for the gang up to happen. Wewwww got that out of my system :lmao:

Wow so much - I agree. I'm not crazy about the gang up either - and the pressure is on Teresa big time. I really do hope Melissa gets exposed this season. I also hope Kathy can see Melissa for who she is. Their thrust for fame (or infamy) is scary. Its one thing if these were strange women who you 'work' with - but they are family.
 
I actually think they are all trying to expose Theresa for who she really is. Too many people, all very different, feel the exact same way about Theresa. I don't think it is that Melissa is sneaky or jealous, or any of the other things Theresa accuses her of. I think she is sick of being maligned by Theresa and blamed for Joe not being who Theresa demands he be toward her. Sick of her husband being abused by her sister. It appears as if Theresa has been a self absorbed, back stabbing, vindictive liar behind the scenes for a very long time. Caroline's issue with her has nothing to do with anything or anyone but Theresa. Same with Jacqueline, same with Danielle, same with her brother Joe, etc. It seems the common denominator is Theresa. Everyone has a problem with her for their own particular reasons.

I would think if Theresa senses anyone having an issue with her, she'll just dump them from her life, and build a long trails with other people on why she is no longer speaking with that person. I just cant stand listening to her talk about anything. It's disturbing to watch how she twists everything around so that she is never at fault for anything. FWIW, I know a person just like Theresa. Friends and co-workers think she is so sweet and nice. Everyone just loves her. But, behind the scenes, I have seen the vile, vindictive behavior she exhibits. She is working on ex-husband number 4 and none of her siblings have anything to do with her. It's all smoke and mirrors with her too. Everything is superficial, status driven and image conscious.
 
I have to totally disagree. It appears in all housewives, they have produced a break out - I don't know if 'star' is the word but for this discussion, we will use star. It appears (like her or hate her) she (Teresa) is the break out. Like Bethany was for New York - or Nene was for Atlanta, Teresa is for New Jersey. I don't watch the other shows but I'm sure this theory applies. There is always one that stands out. In all of those cases it seems the entire cast turns against that break out star. It is usually predictable that everyone will eventually hate that person. This entire family dynamic is horrible. In Melissa's blog last week she admitted contacting Danielle (or Danielle contacted her) but how she spilled the beans on Teresa. Who would do that? To family? I am the Queen of not liking my sister in law (mine is weird - really weird) but to go as far as Melissa to take her down. What human heart does that? To get what? fame? more money? I wouldn't trust Melissa as far as I can see without my contacts. And let me tell you, I can't see more than 4 inches away without them. I don't think for one minute that Kathy doesn't want to turn her cooking into something bigger than the housewives, or Caroline on the radio (or exposing her boys business ventures). All these girls have agendas. Teresa included. Melissa wants to 'sing' (with auto tunes of course). Jacqueline is likely the only one who didn't have an agenda. But she seems to really be 15 minutes from a white padded room with her own white straight jacket. She doesn't seem mentally stable to me. I've been saying that since season 1. AMHO.
 
I just think it's sad that Teresa is unable to understand the simplest points anybody tries to bring to her point blank, and then gets upset when they try to explain themselves further and calls them two faced.

Jacqueline was trying to ask her two things:

1- Do you or do you not get paid to be in the magazines, be it for quotes or pictures. Her bankruptcy problems are no longer her "private" business, as much as she'd like them to be. Jacqueline seems to be trying to be a good friend and be there for Teresa if she needs her- but Teresa just doesn't understand her. Teresa just sees Jacqueline's line of questioning as a personal attack and wants her to stay out of her business- yet she's throwing out quotes to tabloids about the exact topics she refuses to speak to her "best friend" about.

2- Teresa keeps claiming that she's all gung ho about moving forward with her relationship with her brother and sister in law, however she just won't leave the Danielle/Melissa conversation alone. She claims she doesn't want to live in the past, but continues to dwell on a (re)tweeted "conversation" from Danielle about Melissa feeding her information. If Teresa hates Danielle so much, she should just ignore Danielle and her messages, as she's obviously just trying to stir up more trouble (and succeeding).

If she could just understand that, I think she and Jacqueline would be Ok- but for whatever reason she refuses to accept someone speaking to her reasonably as a conversation. She would rather turn it into an attack on herself and play some weird self-created victim role.

I agree with everything you said.
 
I think Jacqueline wanted to talk with Tre about all the aticles, not to find out her business but to see if her friend was ok. Tre got defensive and started talking the cirlces only she can talk in (I want to move past the past with my brother, BUT in the past Melissa did this and my brother did that). She is not ready to move past anything, if she was there would be no BUTs in her sentences.

Jacquelines husband said it best, how at every morning the can bet that J gets a phone call at 8am, and it's Tre going on and on about all the crap going on in her life and I think what hurt Jacqueline was that Tre never stopped to ask J how she was doing, it was always about Tre.

And the frog comment.....:sad2: sadly I am pretty sure knowing what type of people they are (not animal lovers) Juicy probably did cover them over with cement...afterall, they can give you warts!

I agree - Tre is a very self-centered person.
