Here's my take:

Melissa appears to be that wife that only wants her husband to be down with her and her family. Instead of wholeheartedly encouraging her husband to get back together with his family (instead she talks negatively which doesn't help), she secretly likes things just the way they are; this way her husband will cling only to her and her family. I so can't stand insecure women like this and the men who are dumb enough to fall for it and reject their own families. Hopefully this isn't going to be the case. Right now, I'm not loving Melissa at all, seems very catty but wants to appear innocent of everything. Melissa's sisters seem catty as well and seem to love the Gorga/Guidice drama. Can you believe the one at the beginning of the fight who hollered "I think it was a technicality!" when Theresa asked why did Joe invite her. How dare she involve herself. That's really when the whole thing got started.

Theresa is strong for keeping her head up despite her very public financial issues but she and her brother need to realize that both of them have a part to play in the decline of their relationship.

Kathy appears soooo sweet and like the peacemaker but really just adds fuel to the fire. She wants to help I think but also wants to put all the blame on Theresa and her family - she can't see that there are two sides to every story I guess. The funny thing is that she has her friends and family fooled - they think she is so innocent. It was hilarious that her husband bought her a car because she's always being the peacemaker...LOL!

Joe Gorga is definitely suffering from the "whoa is me, my parents love my sister and brother-in-law more than me" syndrome. He also needs to stop treating his wife like she is running on batteries after dealing with kids and a household all day. If he wants more sex, he'd better try helping her with the kids more so she has more energy.

Joe Guidice did what most guys would do when their wife is being attacked by more than one person and one VERY angry one...open a can of whoop ass! So I'm not mad at him. In my opinion the fight was Joe Gorga's fault - he needs some therapy for his deep rooted issues with his family.

Kim G. is a huge gossip and trouble maker and needs to sit her ass down and mind her own business. Anyone who would root for a family to stay broken up and fight with eachother is disgusting.

Ashley needs tough love in the form of an ass kicking. She is disgustingly spoiled and needs to learn that we all work to overcome our circumstances and get what we want out of life. No one owes us anything.
