~ Real Housewives of New Jersey ~ Season 6 ~ 2014

[lorimay]

I finally watched the last episode last night.

I did feel bad for Teresa for a moment or two.

I truly believe she had no idea who that pig was talking to.

You could hear the tone he was speaking, it was a female for sure.

Now watching the episode back I hope she hit him over the head with a bat while he slept!!! Sorry that's just my hope. LOL

I would agree that nobody is jealous of T's financial issues but I think Caroline is jealous because she thought she would be the break out star of this group. I think that she really thought that she would be the one offered deal after deal and instead it was T who maybe isn't as bright etc. I don't think Al is any great catch. There is lots of talk about him and his "apartment" as well as him committing fraud to get a civil service job so he didn't have to pay for health insurance. Their kids come across as lazy and unmotivated. If their Uncle and parents weren't bankrolling their ventures what exactly would they be doing? Probably working at the Brownstone- and again if there was no Brownstone what would they be doing? As far as T's kids- I don't really think they are total brats. I think the editors like to show the worst in them. It feeds her story line. I bet if someone followed any parent and their kids they could pick at least 10 less than charming moments a day and make them look like heathens. JMHO YMMV.

Could be that Caroline thought she would be offered a deal, never thought about that. I do think Caroline's kids are a little difficult, but I would still rather have them over T's kids any day. Not that it makes them desirable to begin with. I can guarantee you that my kids have NEVER acted like Tre's kids in the bratty department, they didn't talk to me like they do her, and they aren't spoiled at all, That is the one area in my life where I can say that I have 100% succeeded, so it is hard for me to understand a child EVER acting like Tre's kids do. One example of this would be Gia acting like a fool at the party at Jacqueline's house when she was having that "filed day" Tre got so made at everyone trying to correct Gia, In my world if my kid was at someone's house and they acted like that I would have given them full permission of snatch my kid up by the hair and teach them how to behave. But then again that is me, and my kids don't act like that, because they know how I would have handled it. Never got to see Caroline's kids when they were little, so they may have been equally bratty. who knows. I know I just LOVE these shows. lol

What's wrong with working for the family business?

I had to post here. I feel so bad for Teresa. I truly do. I wish I could hug her. I do not at all believe she is bitter or jealous or manipulating. I get how she was brought up. She is imo just ignorant. That whole business made me sick for her. When she walks up to Joe if you watch you can see her looking at him and very subtly shaking her head no. IMO she was trying to tell him "not here". I think she knew exactly what was going on and just didn't want it filmed. I don't know anyone who would want something like that filmed no matter what they signed up for. Bravo makes me sick that they showed that. Regardless of what they signed on for these are still people. Then she was trying to be intimate with him right there. It was imo in desperation. She wanted him to love her. IMO if he did that in her head it would be alright. Watch her body language when she sits back down at the table. Something is definitely amiss and I do not believe they actually did anything in the vineyard other than maybe kiss. I also think her brother knows all about Joe and his side activities. Watching his face I think he looked like he knew what was going on with the phone call. I felt bad for all involved except Joe Guidice.

I think Caroline and company are just miserable shrews. She is a wretch and if you look up bitter in the dictionary you will see her picture as what used to be bitter but is now just sour. There is nothing anyone can do to make her happy. It is never enough or right even if she dictated it. She is nothing but negative and her daughter especially is a carbon copy. IMO Lauren should be told to be quiet when it comes to the others. Even though she is an adult she is a child in this situation and should mind them. She has less than zero life experience and she tries to act like Confuscious. (sp?) Give me a break. Caroline with all her advice can't even get along with her own siblings. I wouldn't want to be around her either. Judgy McJudgerson. She is imo a miserable, nasty, rude, wretch. Did you see how mad Caroline was getting when Jac said that she reconciled with T? Master Controller was getting PO'd because she couldn't control Jac. Sorry Mommy Dearest- you don't get to decide who is allowed to be friends. They are all adults. Again- Wretch.

I think Kathy is one of those people who have a soft demeanor so people think they are kind but they really are constantly looking to be offended. If she was rough around the edges instead of Miss Soft Voice nobody would find her to be so super kind. Her husband is a rude washwoman. He should shut his mouth. His jokes are not funny. They are mean spirited. I would not be interested in hanging with my cousin either if her husband always had something to say. Just shut it Richie.

I really think the Gorgas and Guidices could get along just fine. I do think that Melissa and Teresa do like to make sarcastic "jokes" to each other occassionally (ahem "media *****") but if when that happens they can difuse the situation like T actually did on this trip when she said to Melissa "That's not nice!" then they would have a chance. Of course the hag sisters would have to be quiet as well.

Chris L is just plain stupid. None of them knew it was a business trip. Why on earth would you A- not tell them so they could at least try to act accordingly or B- not invite them because you know, you actually need the business to put food on your table! Who does that?!!! Any of you bring your friends and family to business meetings? I doubt it! Stupid! I will however give him some props for shutting down Don Caro in the whole T and Jac convo. He should do that more often to her.

I totally agree with all of this!!!! NOT a fan of Caroline!!!!

Just read this last paragraph. YOu know and everyone else here knows why they all came along, Because Bravo told them to. If this was the "real world" none of these people would have come to the business meeting, and then there would be no show. We all know that everything is scripted. For the like of me, I don't see how you could just "hug Teresa" yet Chris is stupid.

[smkiya]

I recently read an article about reality shows and whether they are scripted. They are not. HOWEVER... They are edited and the cast is "manipulated" in a way to make the show more viewable. As in the trip everyone took, in 3 RVs, together..... I think the producers plant seeds like "how do u feel about so and so doing xyz".... I think the biggest thing is in the editing though. I wish I could find the article.

I call it unscripted drama. I forget what interview I heard where the housewives basically told producers what their upcoming week looked like and what they had scheduled. Then the producers wold choose what to follow and tape. Many of these situations are manipulated and planned by both the producers and the "stars" themselves. These things do not happen spontaneously.

I can see what the pp means when they said you could pick any family with kids and easily find 10 scenes with them acting bratty, but like you said, it isn't so much the kids being bratty as how you see Tre acting. They are rude to adults and eachother and their parents just laugh or simply say "don't say that" in a half joking tone. I agree her kids are Terrors

 

[momrek06]

How close are we to the finale?

I tried looking for the answer to this and could not come up with one BUT to give you an idea of past Seasons ….

Season 1 had 10 Episodes … Season 2 had 18 Episodes … Season 3 had 21 Episodes

AND this Sunday's Episode will be #17.

So …

Real Housewives of New Jersey's Jacqueline Laurita Has Son With Autism

It's a good thing Jacqueline Laurita is such a loving mom. The Real Housewives of New Jersey star recently revealed to People that her 3-year-old son Nicholas has autism.

The toddler's speech and motor skills began to regress at about 18 months of age. "We had no idea what was going on," Jacqueline, also mom to 21-year-old Ashlee and 10-year-old C.J., says.

Amanda Peet apologizes (sorta) for offending parents of autistic children
"I worry about him being independent when he's older," she says. "I spend all my time researching what we can do for him."

Her husband, Chris, tells the mag they "didn't want to believe it was true" that Nicholas suffered from autism. "You never want to think your child isn't perfectly healthy."

Jacqueline is already working as an advocate for autism awareness and treatment.

She's hosting a benefit Sept. 20 to benefit Autism Speaks

 

[Maggie Lizer]

I agree with Mouse House Momma that Caroline is jealous that Tre is the breakout star, not Caroline, or her kids (with whom she has a very weird relattionship, IMHO; she treats Lauren horribly and is doing the typical Italian over-mothering grown men).

I think Caroline is also p.o.'d because the fact of the matter is that the Guidices/Gorgas/Walkiles bring the viewers and no one really cares much about the Manzos/Lauritas. They are boring.

Tre was really embarrassing with her whole begging for sex. Even though I think she is a moron, possibly borderline LD, I cringed at how little respect her husband has for her.

Finally, why did Albie introdue himself as Albie to a potential business associate? Why not start with a full name, to appear more adult and serious? Using a dopey nick-name comes across as insipid.

Dina was the smart one to get out fast. She is too good for this malarkey.

Good for her!!! Our younger dd has autism, and for several years, I really felt like I was functioning at about half speed. For her to step outside her own feelings and challenges to host a benefit speaks volumes about her character.

 

[Mouse House Mama]

What's wrong with working for the family business?

Nothing at all if you actually work. I do think that Christopher was a worker but I don't think that Albie was very interested and Lauren used to help the brides. Although after Lauren referred to herself as the "Bride's B" (rhymes with witch) I though she was so rude and nasty that I would never want her to be me attendant at my wedding. She is a very nasty young woman. I do feel bad for her though because she is treated terribly by her family.

I for one am glad no one has pulled Teresa's kids by the hair. I think they have cute unique personalities and I think their mom does not want to reprimand them on camera which they take advantage of. Although I don't care for robot kids. I thought jac and Caroline were way out of line with gia. She's prepubescent and moody and they should have cut her some slack and gotten her mom. Especially with all that she's going through at such a pivotal time in her life.

Lauren is judgmental and rude and now that she's bratted her way into getting lapband and a new business she should be even more fun. Yes the boys are tough on her but she's a handful.

Did I miss something this week, I don't recall seeing Gia in this week's episode (last Sunday), it was just about them being on the RV trip?

 

[jessc79]

No I was responding to someone else's reference to the field day with gia but I don't know how to quote when using the dis app sorry!

Glad you think that nasty, rudeness and no respect is cute. I guess this is why todays kids are so rotten, people think it is cute. Trust me, if a grownup respond to screaming demands from a child, that is just giving into the child, she was in someones else's home screaming demand. Sweetie if you want your mom, get up off your lazy butt and go get her yourself, she wasn't hurt, just having a temper tantrum. My 2 kids are in puberty, they don't talk to me like that Oh yeah, she was a brat before all this started.
