Re: RHONJ

Aside from the show in general..here are the key points that ticked me off:

1.) Melissa told Joe that Theresa asked her if she was ever a stripper or a dancer. She did not ask her that. She asked how she knew him. And when they were driving off on Theresa, T said, "I didn't ask you that.!" or whatever, and Melissa said "Yes you did, you said your heart was pounding." (not exact quotes) I think her heart was pounding because this guy was talking shit. Not because she thought it was necessarily true.

2.) Melissa immediately defended herself saying it was a bikini bar..so she did remember who the guys was?

3.) Jacqueline should have kept her the info from her "source" to herself, instead of stirring the pot even more. Sometimes I think she is the worst of all of them. She plays Miss Innocent-crying-over-everything, but then why get so involved?

4.) DId Joe G seem like he was high or drunk? He looked like a disaster..eyes all red and bloodshot...and who was with their kids? Lol...he got their so freaking fast!

5.) The fact that Melissa called Joe at all is ridiculous. I mean, couldn't she and Theresa just have found the guy and confronted him? It seems that's what Theresa wanted to do..why was Melissa so against that?

And..why was everyone so disgruntled that Pete Giudice was there? Did they think he was in on it? I don't understand?

RHONJ

all that hoopla about last nights episode, and i thought it was pretty bad.. didnt show us anything! So strange.... the reunion should be interesting!

Re: RHONJ

Re: RHONJ

I'll bet anything Jac's source was the producer Kat who got fired.

Also, I swear I read something about Joe G and Richie "watching" the Poshe Fashion show from Kim G's balcony, so they were "right there". Let me find it...


Anyone else notice at the end it said that Albie and Lindsey broke up? Caroline wins again!

Re: RHONJ

this looks like a pretty good site on real housewives

Melissa finally made the cover of Us Weekly, on news stands September 19, 2012 … the headline is about strippergate, which is a year-old story. The whole purpose of the Posche Fashion Show setup was to boost Melissa’s career; it’s her ‘sex tape’. Now she can spend the next six months talking about it on talk shows and trying to get more tabloid covers, all at the expense of her husband’s family (because we all know she doesn’t consider Teresa family… Melissa has her sisters; she doesn’t need or care about Teresa). Funny thing is, in this video of her interview on ‘The Couch’ she’s still denying she was ever a stripper. One of these talk shows needs to use the correct term ‘dancer’ and get her to deny that.
“I’m wondering if the ‘bulldog’ and her crony Jacqueline are going to crucify Melissa next season for being on the cover of US Weekly and bashing one of the other housewives? What a hypocrite.” – 4evanyer, September 19, 2012, Melissa’s Bravo Blog
“I just want to say congratulations on your US Weekly cover!!! All your hard work scheming with Danielle, then getting on the show, then turning Teresa’s friends against her for the SAME things that you do are really starting to pay off!! I thought Teresa was crazy for saying you were jealous of her, but this cover cements EVERYTHING. You are out for the same money and fame as her. I don’t think there is anything worse than a jealous hypocrite.” – BrittBrittasco, September 19, 2012, Melissa’s Bravo Blog
“Melissa is behind her own setup. Why is this an issue? Because Melissa is making it one.” – CaraLinda, September 19, 2012, Melissa’s Bravo Blog
“What about wondering how Jacqueline went running to Melissa telling her that Teresa set her up? I want to know how everyone figured out what happened so quickly after the guy just came up and said a very innocent ‘hi, remember me’? How is that threatening and a set up? Melissa promised Bravo she would take Teresa down. She had to find a reason to rile things up again and blame Teresa for something awful. She knew a story line of her getting along with Teresa wouldn’t cut it. Hello!!!!” – NotAfraidofReality, September 19, 2012, Jacqueline’s Bravo Blog
“It looks like anybody can get on a housewives show these days. I remember when the Real Housewives used to be about rich women in gated communities living luxurious lives. Now we have reformed strippers that are brought on the show to ‘take down’ their family members so they can get a singing gig at Six Flags. I think we have hit rock bottom folks!” – swiss_miss, September 19, 2012, Melissa’s Bravo Blog
“The rumor is that the ‘mutual friend’ is a biased producer named Cat Rodriguez (who is no longer with the show). The producer was involved in the set up and texted all the ladies except Teresa when they were at the table about who the guy was and what supposedly was going to happen (if you watch the episode, you’ll notice a lot of the ladies checking their phones at the table). This is why Melissa knew it was coming and (in the final episode) baits Teresa in the bathroom to tell her who the guy was so that they could all then turn around and blame Teresa. Teresa confronts Jacqueline and asks her why she told Melissa that Teresa was setting up Melissa, to which Jacqueline responds ‘my friend was texting me and told me everything that was gonna happen and that you were behind it’. Teresa then says ‘what friend?’ and Jacqueline says she doesn’t want to ‘sell out’ the friend. Since the friend is the producer and Jacqueline didn’t want to be called out by Teresa the next day at the reunion 3 taping (and Bravo certainly didn’t want this information to leak out), she decided not to show up to the reunion, and this is also supposedly why the network did not enforce its contract and make her come since a producer would be implicated in the drama.

Re: RHONJ

I think Teresa only does what is best for her. The fact that she didn't let Kim have it for talking about her sister in law and yelling at her brother shows that she could care less about them. Melissa and Joe threw that woman out of their christmas party for teresa. Teresa is only worried about herself and her image. I think Jac did a good blog and shows how two faced teresa is.

RHONJ

When I saw the preview for part 1 of the reunion, I cringed when Jacqueline swore on her "autistic son" she wasn't lying.

Really?!?! You really had to go there?!? You couldn't just say my child or my kids?!? They are all opportunistic fame whores.

Re: RHONJ

Re: RHONJ

Don't like Teresa, but totally think she was set up.

Did anyone notice when her BIL was hugging her and saying, you did it, good job! She looked totally clueless.

I think they all set her up.

Very scripted

Re: RHONJ

Re: RHONJ

Re: RHONJ

Wow what an episode! Yea I totally think that Kim D and Bravo set this all up cause I do not think Tre is a good actress. Is it just me or when Melissa and Tre were talking in the bathroom, Melissa seemed too calm that some random dude was walking around telling people she used to be a stripper?? If it were me, I would have been out of that bathroom so fast and in that guy's face!

Oh and why was Lauren at the fashion show? Sorry I cannot stand that girl and I just dont see why she was there. I would have loved for Bravo to give Lauren's ticket to one of Melissa's sisters, now that would have been amazing drama!

did richie really show up with joe?!

And how did they get to NYC so fast...they were at Son Cubano. Seems strange to me.

Melissa said they were in NY but I thought Son Cubano is in NJ

Re: RHONJ

was there a WWHL show after this???
I wonder if Joe Gorga sees things in another perspective after watching the episode

Re: RHONJ

Re: RHONJ

Re: RHONJ

I was in agreenent with Kelly & mark last night too. There was no EVIDENCE that Tehersa set them up. It wasnt obvious. She looked clueless and I dont think she had the brains to pull that off. I think it was Kim from the start.

Also, why did Jaqueline get involved and tell melissa that theresa set her up. From a text no less. How could melissa and her brother just turn so quickly against theresa especially since they have been getting along.

I am sure there is muh more to the story? cant wait for the reunion. And I am sure theresa has called melissa every name in the book but in the past- they seemed to be getting along?

Re: RHONJ

There are so many holes in this episode. I'm sure the cast members are watching the show but they're all still sticking with their stance that Teresa caused all this? There seems to be a lot that they're not disclosing to the viewer. It's not even fun to watch it's just sad.

RHONJ

After watching the whole episode the WHOLE thing seems staged. Like maybe something went down and they like reenacted it for the camera and since they are all terrible actors that is why it seemed so off?

Re: RHONJ

Re: RHONJ

I am on team Theresa all the way!

Re: RHONJ

Wouldn't it be easy to prove if she did or did not strip? No documents? Pay stubs, etc?

Re: RHONJ

If they were in NJ; then why would Melissa tell Joe on the phone that they were in NY? That doesnt make any sense.

I'm not a huge fan of Theresa; but I will say; I truly dont think she had any part in this. Melissa mentioned how Theresa was loving this; with her smile from ear to ear. I didnt see Theresa smile once over this. She seemed a nervous wreck and I felt bad for her; that without knowing all the facts; they all just put the blame on T for setting up Melissa. Just not right at all.

I also noticed Melissa changed her words a few times. First she said she was called a "stripper" then she was called a "dancer". Well; which one is it??

There was no reason for Melissa to call Joe; then ask him why he showed up when he did? And I also noticed; a huge party like that; and she has that entire bathroom to herself? Yeah, OK?

Lauren; just go away. You annoy the shit outta me; OH and take your mom with you too.
