We are now onto the 12th episode of the Real Housewives of New Jersey, and while it wasn’t as good as next week’s episode will be, it was still very interesting to say the least.
There are two angles one can go with in doing this recap. One is we finally get to meet Tom Staub, the man behind the legend, you know the man who decided Danielle Staub was fit to be his wife and the mother of his children. The other angle is Teresa Giudice of course, who was one of the most searched people on the internet yesterday thanks to the news of the impending public auction of her home items, and her thirst for diamonds, you know considering this episode was taped just a few weeks after she signed off on the bankruptcy documents. Oh what the hey, I say let’s go with both angles!
The episode starts off with some precious family time with the Giudices as they do monopoly night. When Joe wasn’t busy threatening to kick one of his daughters, Teresa decides to bring up their upcoming 10th anniversary. Teresa can’t believe she and Joe have been married for 10 years because “it feels like 5.” Teresa asks the kids for anniversary gift ideas and one of their daughters suggests chocolate and flowers, but bankrupt Teresa makes it clear that’s not good enough. Joe has an even better suggestion, when he jokingly suggests the $100 luxury tax ring, before retracting it, joking saying that he couldn’t even afford that. Must say the financial jokes by Joe are very telling. Notice how they seemed to start just a few episodes ago? Teresa however makes it clear there will be no hanky panky for one month if Joe doesn’t come through, and I can’t help but wonder if Teresa can even go a week with no hanky panky from Jiucy Joe.
Danielle decides to meet up with her friend/party planner to plan a party for herself her daughter Christine‘s sweet 16. Danielle then lets us know she plans to make this a memorable party for herself Christine because she never had a birthday party “thrown to” her until she was 47-years-old. Really Danielle? Not even a party at 1? 10? 16? 18? 21? 30? 40? 45? Well since Danielle is not known to ever lie or exaggerate, I will go ahead and take her word for this.
Christine reveals her idea to donate all proceeds from her party to a charity and Dirty D decides this is a perfect moment to take credit for Christine’s idea because that’s her daughter and she gave birth to her. And I take a moment to ponder how Danielle’s daughters seem to have turned out amazing and well grounded in spite of their mother. Danielle asks Christine if she wants to invite her father and Christine answers yes. Danielle then lets us know that Tom hasn’t been the best father in the world to his daughters, and I can’t help but wonder if Danielle is being truthful about this, or just trying to paint her ex in a bad light out of vengeance, not that this is Danielle’s MO or anything.
Jacqueline and Caroline meet up and yet again Caroline is making perfect sense when she advises Jacqueline to distance herself from the three-faced Kim G. and focus on her daughter.
The Giudices and the Lauritas have a get together during which Joe, who looks rather stressed, ponders what to get his wife for their upcoming 10th anniversary. Joe mentions the 10-year gift has to be a “big one,” bankruptcy be damned. Teresa, who just signed off on bankruptcy papers to the debt of $11 mil a few weeks earlier, is then shown having a conversation with Jacqueline. “I love diamonds, diamonds and diamonds and diamonds,” says the bankrupt Teresa when asked what she wants for her anniversary by Jacqueline. And how genius are the show’s editors for choosing the oh so perfect background music for this ridiculous scene.
And it’s now that time of the show, when we get to see the hotness known as Albie Manzo. This time around, Albie is sporting a buzz cut, which might or might not be slightly taking away from his hotness, and we find out Albie has joined the police academy while waiting to get into a new law school. Must say it’s nice to see a Manzo with ambitions that go beyond the Brownstone.
It’s back to party planning time, and Danielle informs Christine that her younger sister, Jillian, will be performing at her birthday party. And all I can say is move over Kris Jenner! There’s a new pimp extraordinaire stage mother in town. It seems Danielle is also as surprised as we are at how grounded her kids seem to be, because she once again mentions how great of a mother she is. “I must be doing something right,” exclaims Delusional D. Once Christine leaves the room, we hear a shy Jillian say she’s not really excited about performing because she doesn’t want to sing in front of people. Is this just Jillian experiencing normal nerves? or is this Jillian being pushed by her mother to do something she really doesn’t want to do? Not quite sure, but we do see Jillian burst into tears and Danielle attempts to console her.
It’s finally anniversary day for the Giudices and Teresa reveals Joe has a surprise for her. Joe, still looking somewhat stressed and disinterested about the whole event, tries to put on a happy face for his wife. The day starts out with a helicopter ride and champagne. Teresa asks Joe, “Can we go to the Hamptons?” Joe replies sternly, “They’re closed.” Good save there Joe. And since when does the Hamptons “close” and open? Oh well, it doesn’t matter! Teresa is a moron and believes the Hamptons is closed for business. They get to their Jersey hotel and Teresa receives her surprise gift – Diamonds!
And in this scene, we get a clear understanding of why the Giudices are bankrupt with $11mil in debt. Oddly enough, in her one on one interview, Teresa acknowledges the economy has affected Joe’s businesses, but really who cares? They are now debt free and Mama’s got her diamonds! I don’t even know what Joe and Teresa were thinking, if they were even thinking at all. Did they not know their bankruptcy filing would become public knowledge?
This entire scene is just so disgusting and wrong on many different levels. I mean it was filmed only a few weeks after they filed bankruptcy, and Teresa cannot play dumb because she signed the papers as well. The very little remorse I had for these two is completely gone. The only ones that have my sympathy are their kids. And oh yeah, we get a TMI scene with Teresa riding Juicy Joe and umm yeah, moving right along.
Danielle and her kids are getting ready for the Sweet 16 party and as the kids get ready, Danielle mentions the fact that her ex-husband will be in attendance with his new wife. So what’s a drama queen/attention whore to do? Well if you’re Danielle, you spring out your old engagement ring. Yes she really went there, and seriously, who does this? Christine mentions to her crazy mommy the fact that she’s been “divorced for like three years.” Must say it’s never a good sign when the kids have more common sense than the parent.
Jacqueline decides to teach Ashley some kind of lesson or reward or something by driving her to the post office to pick up her summons. Not sure what the lesson is here, perhaps making her walk would have made more sense. Ashley reads her summons and laughs along the way. We find out she is being charged with harassment and assault. Ashley reveals she will be pleading guilty to the much lesser charge of simple assault. Ashley tries to make light of the situation and Jacqueline is not happy with the smart alec.
We see the lavish location for the sweet 16 party, and Christine & her friends getting their hair and make up done. And I wonder who is paying for all this, you know since Danielle is suppose to be broke and all. It seems Danielle read my mind, as she later takes the time to mention that all the party items were donated because the party is for charity. And how exactly is this party for charity? Does she mean the gifts Christine will be receiving will be donated? Will the party-goers be charged a cover charge? Where exactly are these charity proceeds coming from?
While I ponder these questions, Kim G. arrives and Danielle mentions she is hurt by the fact that Tom’s new wife is a few years younger than her, and by a few years, she means two decades. But Danielle is however ready to move on from all the drama, and what better way to move on than to wear your old engagement ring?
Tom and his new wife arrive, and we finally get to see where the girls get their looks from. Danielle rushes over to give them hugs. A few moments later, she decides to give Tom another hug, and judging from Tom’s stern reaction, it’s obvious he’s not buying whatever it is his ex-wife is trying to sell. I once again wonder why this man, or any man for that matter, would decide Danielle Staub was wife or mother material. I simply don’t get it. Not much is known about Tom, other than he is/was the CEO of Aerobics, Inc. The company has however filed for bankruptcy in May 2010. And according to Danielle’s memoir, she met Tom while working at a strip club. His new wife’s name is Colleen Fairman Staub, and based on the information on her private facebook page, they are expecting a son.
Jillian does her cute performance, and Danielle, who’s sex tape was just released in June, mentions the party was a huge success before going on to declare she is the “best mom in the world.”
We get one more mandatory scene with Jacqueline and her husband Chris playing good cop/bad cop with Ashley, and if it feels like you’ve seen this scene many times over, it’s because you have. Ashley yells, Jacqueline yells, Chris plays peace maker, nothing gets resolved and Ashley is still a brat.
And we’re on to the previews for next week, which will bring a major confrontation between Kim G. and Danielle. Should be good.
Watch What Happens - With Bethenny Frankel and Kim G. as guests, I was expecting a much better episode that what was shown, but perhaps I should have realized Jeff Lewis was not on again. Andy Cohen did a crappy job with his Kim G. questions, and we didn’t really learn anything new. Some people mentioned last week that Jeff Lewis should replace Andy on the show, and I can’t say I disagree. Bethenny was however funny in mentioning how Kim G. had managed to finagle her way into being a regular on the show. Oddly enough, the poll question yesterday was who would the viewers want as a mother. The choices? Caroline, Teresa, Jacqueline, Danielle and Kim G. Caroline won the poll with 70% of the votes, with Teresa coming in a surprising second with 19% of the votes.
UPDATE: As suspected, Danielle was indeed just trying to paint her ex-husband in a negative light. Here’s what Jacqueline had to say on twitter – “Their Dad goes to EVERY track meet, dance recital,everything!He also gets them every weekend so I don get why she acts like he doesn’t on tv.”
TELL US – WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE RECAP AND LAST NIGHT’S EPISODE?
@89 Rebecca – You hit the nail on the head. I kept thinking that Christine looked like some celebrity but until you mentioned “a young Mariel Hemingway” I couldn’t place it. Yes, she certainly does look like her.
Regarding Ashley – I have to wonder if part of her attitude problem is due to jealousy and insecurity. She is quite a few years older than her 2 half-brothers which means that she must have been the only child for a number of years. I imagine that sharing her mother and step-father with C.J. may have been tolerable. But when your mom has another baby when you’re 18 years old that can be pretty hard for a teen-ager to deal with. Not that I’m making any excuses for Ashley. She is rude and disrespectful and involves herself way too much in grown-ups business.
One last thing: If I’m wrong about ths please let me know. I thought that anything acquired after a bankruptcy is filed is off-limits to the creditors. So the diamond ring, if it is real, would not even be a consideration.
Final thoughts: I was ready to barf when Teresa stradled Joe on the bed in that hotel room and talked about being horny. Did we really need this? I’m starting to feel like a voyeur. Yecch!
Is it me, or is everyone else tired of seeing Bethenney on WWH? I feel like we are on B-overdose here! Over-exposure leads to annoyed fans!
@Kace, yes she is in danger of being over-exposed and she needs to lay of the spray tan and do something with that dyed black hair.
@Kace – I agree; B’s 15 minutes of fame are up. She needs to work on her next gig shows: “My Life on the Z-list”.
@Nimeo – the George Costanza role (played by Jason Alexander) was in Seinfeld.
Hi Bryan
@Tweetybird
Hi, how are you, did you like last night’s show, I can’t wait for next weeks, I know people here cant stand Kim G but I love her and I cant wait to see her go after Danielle.
And speaking of Dirty Deeds, it amazingly amusing to watch the opinion of her change here and on the bravo blog, all because she didn’t act like a complete and utter ass-clown, (which is what she is most of the time) Now she is being lauded as “The mom we wish we all had” I don’t think so!!!!, and I wouldn’t give her all the accolades on why those girls of her’s are not neurotic nu-tbags
I think the dad and the step-mom have something to do with that you could see that when Christine went to greet them at the party they were ALL SMILES, When they visit him I have a feeling THAT’S where the real normalcy is. And I would love to know what he thinks about Dirty Deeds and her involvement on the show and that the girls are part of it.
@55 ANITA VACATION
I AGREE WITH YOU 100% THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO WRITE WHAT I HAVE BEEN THINKING THIS WHOLE TIME. DANIELLE WAS AN ABUSED WOMAN, AND I FEEL VERY SORRY FOR HER, BUT IN RETURN, GOD HAS GIFTED HER WITH TWO VERY BEAUTIFUL AND TALENTED GIRLS.
WHEN I SEE DANIELLE ARGUING WITH THE OTHER WOMEN, IT IS ONLY BECAUSE SHE IS DEFENDING HERSELF AGAINST 3-4 OTHER WOMEN, I MEAN, I WOULD LOOK LIKE A DERANGED LUNATIC IF I WAS CONSTANTLY HAVING TO DEFEND ACTIONS FROM THE PAST.
TERESA AND JACQUELINE ARE BOTH VERY DUMB WOMEN WHO HAVE THE MOST DISRESPECTFUL AND BRATTY KIDS. DANIELLE MAY BE CRAZY, BUT SHE IS SMART AND HAS TWO VERY LOVELY GIRLS.
I feel really sad for Teresa’s kids and hope they will be taken care of some how. Teresea needs to come clean about all these facade, she is doing more harm than good. In her Bravo blog, she had the time to bash Danielle which surprised me considering the fact that she and her husband could be facing prison time. Danielle should be the least of her worries. I think the public will like her more if she come clean and said “i spent too much etc” but she is still trying to make the viewers look stupid. I hope the best for them especially the kids and hopefully she can learn from this.
I actually like seeing Bethenny on WWHL. She is actually the only one that is funny on the show and can answer a question. I like Rachel Dratch but I could not understand why she was there, I could do with seeing Bethenny there alone. I do not think she is over exposed at all. I do not think she cares too much about being on the “Z” list. People tend to use the word “over-exposed when someone is involved in a lot of things and can respect her for being a business woman beside just appearing on TV. Most reality stars just want to be popular for being on TV with no aspiration to be anything else. I can see her being on a talk show or a cooking show. I would watch.
Morning all,
I think the reason Bethanny keeps showing up on WWHL is because more people like her than people on this blog. I believe they are bring her back based on the shows ratings when she appears. As for her spray tan, half of the people on TV these days look like they ate too many carrots. (LOL)
Ugh, I really need to take a typing class and start using spell check (LMAO)
@109GingerTee, LOL too many carrots!!!! Oh did we see the update on the bottom of this article, Tom Staub is alot more hand’s on then that old slag would like people to know.
I read that he is in the kids life but Danielle has issues with him and his wife. The kids are uncomfortable discussing dad in front of her. I thought he looked uncomfortable around Danielle. He looked like he did not want her anywhere near him. They look like him. He was a little older than I expected him to be but I think he handled he cameo on the show well, from what we saw.
Lol, too many carrots. I understand she came back from the hamptons, could be too many carrots! xo
112@GingerTee. I think Tom Staub is probably the real stablity in the lives of those girls and of course being the grifting, sleazing skidmark that she is, takes full credit for anything positive in their lives. She obviously isn’t, I wonder if things get really bad with old Dirty Deeds, would he and could he step in and get those girls away from her and her mayhem?
I really liked Bethenny (for the most part) on RHNY, but not so much on her new show. Like her on WWHL.
Can’t stand Kim G. She’s duplicitous and untrustworthy.
Teresa “ain’t” too pretty to get a job. Take pizza orders, clean the tables, and mop the floor Teresa!
Hi Everyone,
I’m not a big Bethenny Fan,but I agree with GingerTee @109.
.She really has alot of fans ,and the ratings are always high when she is on.
Plus Andy Cohen loves her, she Will answer All Questions,and engage in conversation.( not like Danielle, worst guest ever, in my opinion)Bethenny is a good guest in my opinion,and I’m not a Fan.
Hey Dy, yeah Bethenny knows how to play the game. I remember Rachel D. from King of Queens, she was Spence’s girlfriend.
Hey GigerTee.
Bethenny a good guest on WWHL in my opinion If I thought Danielle was good guest then I would say it.
I remember Rachel D. from King of Queens also.
I am going to leave Dirty D alone the week, I actually kind of liked her and liked watching her with her kids, but I know next week I will be back on the I can’t stand Dirt D bandwagon. I don’t think D was being a stage mom with Jillian, my kids have freaked out when trying something a little scary and I gave them a little push and they did great.
Now on to Trashy T. I understand that investments go wrong but her snotty attitude is what makes me so mad. She thinks she is too good to live in apartmetns or used homes and demands diamonds for her anniversary, it is disgusting!!!
The economy has hit my family and my husband’s small business and we have eliminated eating out and going to movies and instead watch movies at home with our kids and call it family fun night. We don’t demand expensive gifts and instead enjoy having a quiet meal together or go for a drive.
off my soapbox now LOL
Morning All!
Trashy T just makes me cringe….I can’t help it, that voice, that attitude….and really, when she stradled Juicy on the bed I just about lost my dinner! Ewwwwww…..
On another subject, I see Krraaaazy Kelly is still whoring herself out for more publicity.
She should just stand in the middle of Times Square screaming ‘LOOK AT ME….LOOK AT ME!!! I MATTER!’ Ugggg, someone needs to put a muzzle on that moron!
TX working mom, Cooking at home and sticking to movies at home, well save you alot, you probably already know this. Anymore movies are so bad, I hate spending 10-14 bucks to see some crap I can later rent from netflix later or download from netflix.
the last movie I saw out was Ironman . And its always better to cook your own good food then eat out so your waistline will thank you in the long-run.
Yeah Dirty D wasn’t the full-on beast as usual, but I think we now know she isn’t the only one giving those girls love and support as she would LIKE is to believe.
The dad should get some credit
I wonder if Teresa is going to participate in Season 3. I REALLY HOPE BRAVO’S CAMERAS ARE AT THE AUCTION.
It would be interesting to see what the house would look like without the tacky furniture.
I guess she can RENT furniture from RENT-A-CENTER; would that be too gross for Teresa?
Lynn Hudson tweeted the following “The Real Housewives of New Jersey secrets”
http://theoriginalgreenwichdiva.com/the-real-housewives-of-new-jersey-secrets/4209/
IT WAS APPARENT FROM THE BEGINNING (’09) OF THE
SHOW THAT TERESA WAS IN FINANCIAL PROBLEMS, BUT CHOSE TO PRESENT HERSELF AS A PERSON WITH MONEY BY SPENDING $120K IN CASH ON CAMERA.
I BET THE CASH CAME FROM TAKING OUT MORTGAGES ON HER OTHER PROPERTIES.
Hi Bryan and Bob Blah Blah…So glad you saw my posts Bob and so sorry about the confusion.
Bryan…All people have positive and negative aspects to their personalities. People who sign up for these reality shows have a bit of narcissism in them to begin with. Approached, most people would say “no way”.
I don’t love nor do I hate any of these people. I am not on anyone’s team. I’m just an equal opportunity snarker.
Someone like Danielle can be crazy and still love her children.
Kim G gets alot of flack because she played both sides of the fence. We all have been betrayed by someone we trusted, so when Kim does her schtick and runs back and forth and makes it clear that she is there for the cameras and could care less how anyone feels, people have a visceral reaction to her nonsense.
Kim is just fine…living quite well.
Danielle, I’m sure loves her daughters and I am sure their Dad has a great deal to do with how they turned out.
JUst my take.
@65 BigBrown- I agree, there’s no way Teresa wrote her blog on Bravo. Teresa’s writing style is more like See Spot run.
Can’t wait to see the Granny Panties smack down next week.
@TweetyBird
Who thought you were on any of their sides your one the sane one who post here
Isn’t good to know we have Lynn Hudson to inform us, I can see her now furiously typing away fingers and keyboard tinged yellow from her latest cheetos binge
Kim G, her antics I think will bring some needed ZING to the NJ show. Kim-G is no different to many of bitchy queens I have dealt with over the years as a gay man, to me she makes things fun and that show needs fun, because Danielle ass sucks the fun right out of it.
I say the Dad has more positive influence over those girls then old Dirty Deeds.
Okay folks..have a question…Do any of you know what transpired in the formative years of D’s girls before HWNJ ??
Who’s to say she wasn’t ” normal ” before the show , then the discovery of the book turned on the weird switch in her head and got her started all over again reliving LITERALLY her past ..hmmm just a thought….
and I do honestly believe that her girls do love her intheir own unique daughter way….
that is all for ….now
Hugs and Peace
TheDesigndiva
@The Designdiva
What I find odd is NOT ONE PERSON who “knows” them have come forward to voice their opinions about these people or to defend them in any way. WHY IS THAT?
I find it hard to believe that there is no one out there who can tell us that:
Kelly is actually normal, and she is just acting.
Danielle is a “changed” person, and she is acting.
Teresa is not really a crook, and she is acting.
I guess these people are really the way they are portrayed on camera.
Skinny Italian? Skinny? All I see is a fat, low-browed, wide-eyed, hairy, ugly shemale who has the ugliest kids around and a short shit for a husband who can’t be more than 5’1, tops.
Bryan…Tell me…what is your experience with lynn hudson. This broad sounds like a major piece of work. Did go and read many of her blogs with comments. CRAAAAZZZY!
What is truly disturbing is how normal they all think they are…and why is everyone always apologizing on that site? What happens if one offends? Do you lose your first born or something?
Bryan…still so love the funyun and dr pepper crack…still laugh when I think of it.
Thank God Dirty Deeds kids have their Dad/Step-Mom, it’s very clear now where thoses girls goodness comes from….and Danielle, you may have given birth to them, but I’m pretty sure their good manners and common sense comes from their Dad!
Hi Bob.
What is it with Danielle’s hugs? She seems to devour the person when she hugs. There is something intended in her overt demonstrations…what is that?
@94 Flippy
Does the IRS investigation into the Guidices cash transactions seen on Bravo have any effect on their bankruptcy? This doesn’t seem to be a cut & dry bankruptcy so I’m hoping the judge takes many factors into account when looking at their situation. They may have been victims of the economy, but I find their claim of $10,000/month they get from “family” to pay their current bills to be very suspicious. Would the court look into their family’s finances to see if they are indeed giving $10,000 ?
Also they listed money owed to a fertility clinic in their bankruptcy but I thought you couldn’t file on medical bills anymore? Can you please enlighten us with whatever info. you may know.
Tom Staubs most recent wife is not colleen fairman staub. Her name is rebenna woch staub.
Kim G next season? Maybe she will fill Danielle’s role as the one the Manzos Lauritas and Giudices love to hate. Danielle will withdraw to work on her many lawsuits and perhaps Ashley will be filmed pulling Kim’s hair?
To Flippy the bankruptcy attorney/poster: Question: Someone said income and purchases since J&T’s filing last year are excluded going forward. If the bankruptcy is not accepted by the court, is that still true – how does that work out? Like if that anniversary ring was really a 5-karat canary diamond – does she get to keep it?
Ashley’s facebook page and all the slander against Danielle by posters: Worry’s me she could be liable in a lawsuit – any legal eagles out there to clarify? I remember (I think) Anna Nicole Smith’s mother won a civil lawsuit against some people who had website that posted slanderous and (?) comments by posters.
Can’t wait for the reunion, but this week’s WWH show was pretty tame given the news the past two weeks re cast members bankrutpcy, lawsuits, etc.- they simply didn’t go there….
Wonder if there will be another table flipping or they’ll simply have Teresa in restraints.
@tweetybird.
I was just one of the many who visited the blog and saw the madness and insanity of it all, I saw there is no need to post there because it would be removed and then you would have to deal with the lunatics.
Hey, did anyone notice (or did I miss it) that Jac has not yet posted her blog (as required by Bravo). Everyone else has.
Ashley is so full of lies! Her family must be so ashamed. No wonder she got that nose job……Pinocchio?
Hey Tweety…I know, D’s ex looked so uncomfortable.
I have given up reading that “love fest” BRAVO blog. Everything there seems staged and “Script-y” and we all know for sure that Teresa can not possibly be authoring it or any other story that requires some level of education or grammar…
I am just captivated by this show. I get very nervous though because I was hoping Dina could be a balancing influence and bring the 2 diverse sides together. But Dina, who was my favorite housewife, leaves, and things are messier than ever. I get upset with Kim G’s 3 facedness. What is her thing? Is she trying to mother Danielle? Doesn’t she have kids or a boyfriend or a husband. A life, is what I mean? I don’t think Danielle is all that critical to the show’s success. The other side has plenty of drama.
If anyone still have doubts whether or not the episodes on RHONJ are stage and watch last week’s episode, you should no longer doubt it.
EVERYTHING IN THE EPISODE SCREAMED …STAGED.
‘The meeting’ between Danielle, her daughter, and the party planner. STAGED
Teresa and Joe’s ‘Family Night’ STAGED
Jacqueline ‘stopping by’ Caroline’s house STAGED and FORCED.
Jacqueline ‘driving’ Ashley to the post office…doesn’t Ashley have a car? STAGED
Jillian’s singing career STAGED and FORCED to sing by her mom.
Danielle being ‘nice’ to Tom and his wife (with multiple hugs for both even though she can’t stand them) STAGED Her fake tears (rolling my eyes)
The helicopter ride and hotel room (rolling my eyes again) STAGED
Although the casts don’t follow a ‘script,’ it’s becoming more apparent that the ‘friends’ on the show aren’t in tuned with each other. I honestly don’t see Teresa and Caroline mingling together.
In my opinion, the relationship(s) between these women don’t seem natural (not even between the sisters).
In the other RH shows, the women do things together. Besides having Danielle as an X FACTOR, the ladies don’t mesh well and don’t seem to have anything in common other than DANIELLE and GOSSIP.
What as come forth in the season has been Teresa’s over the top spending habit in the mist of filing for bankruptcy. I wonder if Bravo has intentionally decided to show what a liar Teresa is by making sure all her dirty laundry air.
Call me crazy but since Teresa chose to file bankruptcy after the cameras stopped rolling, which would have been HUGE for Bravo to have a camera, Bravo decided to smear her image (just a little bit)-she helped of course.
Every week there has been an example of how over the top Teresa and Fam really are with money. Some of it I know BRAVO put up the cash, but…
Shopping spree at begining of season
Gia’s birthday party (presents)
The house warming party (party planner & rented furniture)
The ‘businesses’-pizzeria and apartment
The ‘yellow’ diamond/helicopter ride/suite
next week’s christening
CAN’T WAIT to watch the remaining episodes and the reunion.
I would love to know how it is that Ashley, at the ripe age of 18, can’t speak properly.
Listening to her is like, painful. She like, can’t put a string of words together without the glue that is like, “like” – she uses the word over and over and over again. It’s like, obnoxious and irritating to have to listen to.
Hasn’t like, Jacqueline like, heard this and like, maybe mentioned it to her? Is she like, hard of hearing? Is it acceptable to her that her daughter is a moron as well as a self-entitled brat?
Ashley conducts herself like a 12 year old – so, like here’s my suggestion to her parents: Treat her as such. 12 year olds are in school, don’t drive, have curfews, don’t have live-in boyfriends and shouldn’t be having sex if, God forbid, they are. 12 year olds usually also have an expectation of proper behavior and grammar, which obviously Ashley does not. Oh, and there are like, consequences to bad behavior, not more indulging by mom and dad. Ashley managed to make Danielle a real victim by her childish hair-pulling. Like, nice going, Ash.
It is heartening to see Danielle’s 2 daughters, despite having Danielle as a mother, conduct themselves so nicely. They are beautiful, kind and polite and don’t sound like idiots when they speak. They put Ashley and her behavior to shame.
Like, grow up.
I will bet you that Teresa’s ring is not costume, despite her protests. She wouldn’t have gotten that excited over a $100 ring – and she has enough of the real stuff that she knows the difference.
