Re: RHONJ Reunion - Part 3.

I gotta ask why people think Danielle got Melissa on the show? Is she part of the casting crew? Where did that rumor/idea come from?

Re: RHONJ Reunion - Part 3.

Re: RHONJ Reunion - Part 3.

Melissa got on to the show by promising to bring drama and take down Teresa

Danielle was a part of that

Melissa makes 20% of Teresa makes an episode

I think she is everything Teresa says- but she can just speak better

Also when T said Caroline told her Jacq was stripper C laughed but didnt deny it!


I noticed this, too. I bet Caroline did tell T that Jacq was a stripper - you know if both jacq and Melissa would just say...yeah, I was a stripper...so what? the whole thing would be dropped.

RHONJ Reunion - Part 3.

I thought she was talking to Teresa in the end too. She was much softer in the way she spoke to Tree the whole part 3.

Jac was a stripper and Caroline was not happy when Chris married her. She likes her now because jac is her puppet.

Yes, I checked Twitter out, and saw that Dina put ********, ********, ********, then she also had a tweet about not feeling love from them, and if she did, she would not stay away. Dina then adds, that Teresa had nothing to do with the way their relationship is, BTW. Appears that Dina got very upset at the comments by Caroline and Chris. There is definitely something very big there, but Dina reiterated that she would not get into the reasons.

I have to say I loved Joe Giudice, although crude, he shut many of them down very quickly by his comments. For as nasty as Jacqueline was, Chris was quiet, and I think that was because these friends have shared stories and information with one another, and probably thought it best, to not open so many cans of worms. He told Jacqueline to worry about her own financial issues, he asked Melissa how her and Joe Gorga really met, he told off Rich and Kathy Wakile, he told Caroline that she was a know it all and always angry and hateful, and he told Joe Gorga that he should pay his bills. I noticed that they all backed down somewhat once he said things or asked questions. They were all laughing when he told Joe Gorga to pay his bills, until Joe Giudice said that he had to borrow money every week to pay his bills, and then Joe Gorga shut up and looked embarrassed.

Jacqueline was her annoying self, throwing out low blows all the time, and calling Joe Giudice, “a low life piece of shit”, and said “I hope you go to jail”. Wow, talk about evil by wishing ill will on someone that was once a friend. Jacqueline is a loose cannon, and really is a piece of work. At the end of the reunion, when Caroline said she was sure they would all look back at not be proud of their behavior, Jacqueline said, “totally out of control, but I meant it”. Talk about being low life and having no class, that comment said it all.

What about when Jacqueline got involved saying that Teresa talked about Joe & Melissa Gorga to their parents, and Teresa got upset and told her to stay out of it. I was happy and commend Andy Cohen (Chris did too, but I think he did it because of Andy) for telling Jacqueline to stay out of it. I agree with Adios that Bravo did not intend to break a family apart, as Andy was trying to get Joe Gorga and Teresa to admit their love for another and the possibility to fix things. Obviously, Melissa with her little speech of “have the relationship with your brother, but I’ll never look at you again, and my kids, too”, will never let the two of them have a relationship. I also believe that Jacqueline knew, let Melissa in on everything, and the two of them conspired to turn the setup to make Teresa look bad, and as if she was in on it. I loved it, when Caroline tried to get Kim D. to say that although they knew something, that Jacqueline did not know what was going to go down; and Kim D. didn’t budge, and admitted than she talks to Jacqueline everyday for an hour and a half, and would not say that Jacqueline didn’t know, and told Caroline that she didn’t know who she talked to and what was said. I took that to be an admission that she had told Jacqueline everything, and yet Jacqueline didn’t stop it, and said that Teresa should have stopped it. The whole situation was contrived and calculated, as Teresa said with regard to Jacqueline and Melissa. I think both AdiosLunatic and Fame, and those of us who found this website and commented, have seen just who is to blame and why. Joe Gorga apologizes to Kim D., when she admits she wanted to stick it to Melissa, but continues to blame his sister. I believe that Kim D. does have a lot of “dirt” on them, and Joe Gorga wanted to apologize in order to stop her from saying more. I feel that Andy Cohen did genuinely seem to have some remorse for the disintegration of the family relationship between brother and sister. I hope that if he does, and it was not the intent of him or the network to set up this outcome, that Melissa Gorga, and Joe, for going along with her, will get their comeuppance.

Before this blog was written, I was beginning to question the diagnosis of Nicholas, or at the very least, the severity of it, and that is why Jacqueline took down any videos that she had posted previously of Nicholas. I also believe that Ashley would have been an issue in any of Jacqueline’s antics, because of the strain between the two, and therefore, she had to go. Caroline was a ***** all season and for more than a year since the filming, and she backpedaled at the reunion. She toned down her “prediction” of if Joe Giudice went “somewhere”, that Teresa would leave him, and say she tried, and then write a book. Her smug “you heard it here first”, became about Teresa discussing it in a magazine, but not about Teresa or the state of her marriage, and Teresa’s character of what she would do, if that happened. Caroline was smug again on WWHL, when asked about her “prediction”, but when Joe was sitting there, and the tide turning on her and she has a book deal, she had the audacity to say that it was not about their marriage, and she would NEVER, NEVER say that with regard to the state of their marriage. Joe Giudice, figuratively, wiped the smug smile off of her face (she may have been worried about the skeletons in their closets coming out). It certainly did not go unnoticed by this viewer, when Teresa said that Caroline told her that Jacqueline was a stripper, that Caroline did not deny it, but only tried to make a joke of it by deflecting and asking who else was. Jacqueline and Chris also did not get all worked up, and scream a denial.

I happen to believe that this blog is spot on (great job by both of you), and most of the players toned down all the rhetoric, accusations and hatred that they have been spewing at Teresa and Joe, behind their backs. As Joe Giudice told Joe Gorga, that when he heard someone call his sister names in front of him and didn’t defend her, that he was a loser. Joe Gorga agreed, and had the nerve to say no one ever did that. We all know that is exactly was has been happening for two seasons now, and Joe Gorga never defended his sister. Rich, of all people denied calling Teresa names or insulting her, until Andy Cohen said that he most certainly did do that, and then Rich said if Teresa attacked his wife, then he attacked back for his wife. Old school tradition, right? If a female calls another female a name, then the husband should call the female nasty names–old school and respectful? That isn’t even a “real man”, that does something like that, and before anyone thinks that might be a cultural thing in Lebanon; it absolutely is not. My husband is Lebanese, and old school, and he would have nothing nice to say about a man that got in the middle of an argument between two females and bad mouthed a woman. Wimp and behaving like an old gossipy woman, would be the nicest things he would have to say about someone doing that. Joe, also said things to Rich about having a gas station, and he was partially right in some of what he said (not all) to Rich about that. Rich, probably cannot have an Exxon/Mobil franchise gas station in his name any longer, if he in fact bounced four checks to them for payment of fuel. A major branded gas station would make things very hard for you, if you bounced one check to them for fuel, let alone four. My husband also has a major branded gas station, and that is the worst thing you can do is bouncing a check to the company. It is not easy to fix with the company (at the very least, they put you on COD), and Exxon/Mobil is very stringent with their dealers. I highly doubt that if Rich is still claiming to own a franchise, then he would probably have to have the lease in someone else’s name, because if they sued him, the company would not continue to lease to him. Therefore, I think this is the reason that Rich Wakile spends so much time at home, and not because he has done so well in that business, that he can afford to take it easy and stay home now.

I don’t agree with everything Teresa and Joe Giudice have done with regard to their own life decisions, however, I think we would all agree that he was not acting, didn’t care how he came across, and that he and Teresa were doing what they were paid to do, and that is be on a reality show. I don’t know what Bravo will do with regard to a Season 5 of RHONJ, but I hope they will do damage control to reputation of the Giudices and vindicate Teresa, that they will make cast changes and fire, first and foremost, Jacqueline Laurita and family. If Bravo did not see before, they certainly should have seen just how nasty and unpredictable Jacqueline is, at the reunion. She truly is a very nasty, vindictive and classless woman. When she said that when she gets hurt, she gets nasty, she wasn’t lying. I don’t believe she got hurt, I just think she was filled with envy, and she turned vicious. No doubt, I want the Manzos, Gorgas and the Wakiles gone, so it will be interesting to see what happens, but at this point, it is just so disgusting to watch all the lies and manipulations that I don’t know that I could watch any longer, other than the Giudices. I wish Teresa and her family well, continued success with any and all of her business ventures, and I hope they get all their issues resolved without any severe consequences. Teresa has been put through enough, more than she signed on for, and I pray good luck and karma is coming her way. I also have to say, as Teresa said, I hope that karma does come back to all of these women, and they get paid back for the lies and the hurt that they caused this woman and her children and parents. I hope that the other cast members 15 minutes is finally up, but if it isn’t, I know I will waste no more of my time on them. Can’t and won’t condone any more of the lack of class, the animosity, the scheming, the lying and the manipulation of these people or this network. It has been so dark, sad, exhausting and toxic to watch.

Re: RHONJ Reunion - Part 3.

I just want to know the truth behind who set who up at the fashion show! There are too many accusations, and it's really annoying as a viewer and a fan of the show; that last episode and all of the he said/she said is such a turn off. It's not "real" anymore! (I know Kim D tried to clear it up, but there's still pieces missing!) Caroline was likeable in part 3 because she stopped with the "know it all" attitude that she had all season. She even looked as if she was ready to begin to work things out with Teresa; maybe she thinks that perhaps working things out with Teresa will help her relationship with Dina? Jacqueline acts immature and doesn't know when to shut up. Kathy was pretty much non existent in part 3; I am happy that she apologized and owned up to her insults regarding Teresa's parents; then again, maybe she did it to keep things good with Joe Gorga? Teresa does need to own up to her actions, and I wish she knew how to defend and explain herself! I am still team Teresa though! Negativity aside, I think she is a strong woman, and a great mom and wife. I kind of like Melissa too, but at the same time she does seem sneaky and fake. She seems like a great mother and wife, as well as all of the rhonj. She does not like Teresa, never as, and is loving that she has such a great opportunity to bash her, as the other women will back Melissa up. Melissa has her sisters and her side of the family, so since there's a feud with Teresa, she doesn't care to work things out, especially since she obviously doesn't like Tre. Melissa, you are not the victim, you got called out on your past, now own up to it for real and stop beating around the bush! I hope that Teresa and Joe make up, because you can see how much they love each other!

Re: RHONJ Reunion - Part 3.

I don't think the Giudices have been "mispronouncing" their own names; I think that in America, the way they say it is just easier...in Italy, they probably would still say "Goo-di-che." I mean, there are a whole host of people named "Giana" who say it "Gi-ana" here; I think (correct me if I'm wrong) in Italy, it's more like "John-a"
What I don't get is why they chose now to start saying it that way. LOL.

Re: RHONJ Reunion - Part 3.

Did anyone watch WWHL? Correct me if I am wrong here, but at the reunion, Joe Gorga said that Tre kept their parents away from him and his children due to the situation and that he is heartbroken, he even started with the waterworks.

Then, on WWHL, Melissa said that her in laws are at their house once a week and she makes dinner for them and how they do not discuss the show and the situation between the Gorgas and Guidices. Hmmmmm sounds like someone is lying.
