Real Housewives of NJ--Official Thread

[Mickeyistheman]

In regards to Jacqueline, she really is very two faced. I had liked her for a while but didn't understand why someone who seemed very demure and wholesome so to speak would be as friendly as she was with someone like Danielle? She also should have stood up for her sister in-law Dina a long time ago and told Danielle the truth. That is what floored me when she pulled out that card.

The "Last Supper" this Thursday should be interesting, I hope its unedited, not that you can hear the bad language just watch beginning to end.

Could anyone tell what Theresa was screeching when Joe and Dina were holding her back? I heard all the Effing Prostitue and Effing Wh***, but she screamed something about MYYYYYYY!!!!! something.

My favorite character on the show was Dina's hideous bald cat: Grandma Wrinkle.

Everyone keeps saying that Jacqueline is two faced but Dina asked her. She was staying out of it and then Dina brought her into it by asking her. She did not want to lie and why should she? I can't stand Danielle, I think she is crazy. But I think Jacqueline just did not want to lie and she would have never said anything until Dina brought her into it.

Did anyone notice danielle was not carrying "the book" when she arrived at restaurant? She had a small purse
Caroline (in her blog) says there was a LOT we did not see-=so I can;'t wait until thursday

Yes. I also noticed that half the time Albie was sitting next to Danielle and half the time he was standing up...which means a lot of editing (and possibly distortion of the conversation) was done.

Teresa is out of her mind. Then like 20 seconds after she threw the table she was all kissy face with her ape husband and she's like (in her baby voice) "I'm just a hot headed Italian girl". Really? Cuz you look like you need meds.

I have to addresss the Bubbies thing. I grew up in an Italian family and we call them Bubbies, Chuckys and PeePees. I thought it was hysterical that these girls all use the same names. When I told my Mom about she too thought it was funny and couldn't believe it. Our entire family called them that. We're not from New Jersey but we are from NY. :

Maybe it is as east coast Italian thing? I am Italian from Michigan, and have never heard those terms before? You can bet my family and I have tried working them into conversation this last week though! So silly!

Did anyone notice Dina wore the dress she was worried about her Chuckie falling out of, to dinner?

 

[lttlmc3]

Ack! I missed the show because I had to get to sleep early!! I'm trying to find it online!

 

[NEVERENOUGHWDW]

Watching on my DVR now!

Did anyone else think that maybe Jaqueline's dress came from the set of Dynasty?

Ha Ha Ha. What was up with that?

 

[mbw12]

If you read the blogs on Bravo.....it was alluded to that Teresa was upset with some things going on with Danielle that were not shown on the series...and it had been buliding up and was mentioned at the dinner....but never on air. ALSO....In Jacqueline's blog she also mentions that some things have happened since the show was taped and she has distanced herself from someone that is a pathological liar.....but she never mentions a name.

I hope things come to light in the reunion show....but you know Bravo only shows what they want!!!!!!

Did you all realize who their friend with the dogs were. Bernard Kerick, former Police Commisioner in NYC, during 9/11. He was also President Bush's nominee to be US Secretary of Homeland Security. Then he withdrew and followed a series of Indictments.

Thanks DISUNC! I knew I recognized the name and face. But for the life of me could not figure it out last night. It was driving me crazy.

Everyone keeps saying that Jacqueline is two faced but Dina asked her. She was staying out of it and then Dina brought her into it by asking her. She did not want to lie and why should she? I can't stand Danielle, I think she is crazy. But I think Jacqueline just did not want to lie and she would have never said anything until Dina brought her into it.

I totally agree.

 

[OhMari]

Ha Ha Ha. What was up with that?

Jacqueline's dress-don't laugh, the fall fashion show, had shoulder pads back in the clothes. I can't believe they are recyling that look, but it has been 25 years since Dynasty. Hopefully the look will die really fast, just like the high-waste jeans. Jessica Simpson got blasted really fast. I've seen some of the Kardashian sisters wearing them. Isn't it sad, when designers start bring back the old looks.

I couldn't believe that danielle brought the book. theresa didn't have to invite her to the dinner and if danielle was going to go to the dinner with an agenda she shouldn't have brought her daughters. theresa is usually so quiet it was something seeing her going balisitic.

 

[C.Ann]

I am not a fan of Danielle, but after last night's episode, I think Dina fell to the bottom of my list with the NJ girls. It was bad taste to bring up the book, but I also think that this was Danielle's only opportunity to address all the wives at the same time. It was her against everyone else and she wanted to say her peace. Caroline took the blame for her sister and Dina denied having anything to do with it. Once Jacqueline revealed that Dina was on the computer searching something about Danielle and found the book, Dina immediately changed her story (if I heard right with all the yelling going on). I don't think Jacqueline was two faced, she is just stuck btw. a family that will lie and hide behind each other vs. the truth of what happened. Teresa's reaction was out of proportion, although she did have a reason to be upset. I've been upset but never felt the need to throw tables.

Should be interesting Thursday.

Maybe it's just me, but as a grown woman, my family absolutely does NOT dictate who I may have as friends.

Good for Jacqueline for sticking up for Danielle. Not allowing people to have friends outside of family is bizarre and twisted. "She's either friends with us or Danielle, not both"....crazy.

I am so glad my life is happy and boring. I can't imagine how tiring all the drama is.

-----------------------------

The only person I actually do like on that show is Jacqueline.. She refuses to be controlled by the "Mafia" family - and that's a plus in my book..
She's setting boundaries - for herself as well as others - something you don't do that with "the" family..

Theresa is just wacky.. Between the huge wads of cash she and her DH are always carrying around (which seems very, very odd to me); her not wanting to live in a house someone else has lived in because it's "gross"; her insistence that Gia is going to be a "star" (I personally don't think the kid is all that cute); and that high-pitched, squeaky, "Don't you love it? I love it, love it, love it.. Do you love it??" - I feel like tearing my hair out!!! LOL

As far as I'm concerned, the rest of them don't have a clue what the word "truth" means.. I'm no fan of Danielle's, but come on - with the Mafia ties the Manzo family has they're worried about her past - over twenty five years ago??

Ummm.. Who needs the viscious attack dogs in case of an "intruder"? Oh - I know - one of the "Mafia" folks..

Looking forward to Thursday's show..

Uh -oh! Danielle's Boy=toy has a sex tape of her!

 

[Mouse House Mama]

Now that everyone has seen it I can post what I think!

I know this may not be a popular opinion here but I think Jacqueline was so wrong! She should have just kept quiet. Blood is thicker than water and Danielle is a loon. It's not like she was defending some wounded bird. She was defending someone who is certifiable. I would never go against my family unless they truly were being beyond terrible to someone who was genuinely misunderstood. Danielle does not fit into that category. She needs professional help. Did she really think bringing the book out was necessary? Why not just go to the dinner party and make nice. You are at someone else's event. Have some manners and couth! If you want to have a throw down then send the invites yourself.
I feel sorry for her kids. No child should ever have a conversation about how her Mom gives her "goodies" away. That is sad. I hope their Dad has a clue.

As for Teresa wanting the kids to leave the room, well the sex conversation she was having was on one end of the table where all the adults were. She was miked so it would pick up for the show. I am willing to bet that the kids couldn't even hear her. She probably wanted the kids out of the room when Danielle started her BS because she knew that it was going to get a bit wild.

I love Caroline. I think she stands up for her family. Whether she took the fall or not for Dina is irrelevant to me. I would stand up for my sister too. Danielle has an unhealthy obsesssion with Dina. Why the need to confront everyone who talks about her? She is a grown woman. She should act like it. I don't feel the need to confront anyone about nonsense like that. It's not like they were ever even friends! She wants the Manzos to like her so badly that she will do anything. Move on! They don't like you! Not everyone in life has to be your friend. I think she treats Jacqueline horribly but Jacqueline needs to man up and tell her to stop it. What kind of real friend bad mouths someone's family? She barely knows Jacqueline and she is calling her her best friend. Can you say Bonkers?

 

[mbw12]

Yes, I agree.... i thought that was odd too. for some reason, I thought she had been friends with Jacqueline for awhile....I didnt realize until reading the blogs that they had just met a short while before the taping began, I thought there was more history there. This is what has convinced me that Danielle is obsessed with the Manzo/Laurita clan.....she wants so much to be part of that for some reason....and is obsessive about it.

They're Jacqueline's family by marriage - granted, three marriages between just two families, but still... she was raised in a different environment that Caroline and Dina, she has her own opinions and experiences, she's certainly entitled to have any friends she chooses and to support those friends if a situation calls for taking sides...
