See? I tried to tell you guys that Teresa was the manipulative one. But noooooooooooooooobody believed me. Her insecurity over other members of her family being on the show really demonstrated how selfish she has been all this time. She tried to be this sweetheart during Season 1 (I think it was Season 1, ... the one with Danielle) until the finale when she flipped the table. She seemed like such a nice person to me despite all that.

But THIS season, her true colors came out. It was like she was digging a whole for herself during the reunion. And her favorite line, "Bring it on, b!tches! BRING it!!" is so played and overdone at this point.

But, yeah, I too, felt sorry for her during the reunion, because I hate to see anybody ganged up on by several people. It definitely felt like high school. But, as I said before, Teresa comes off as very fake to me. Whenever she's "crying", we don't ever see any tears. When she cried at the book signing to her brother, I saw no tears then. I saw no tears when she tried to cry on the reunion show. Now, I know that everybody's blood pressure doesn't go up when they cry, so you don't always get the typical reaction (i.e., red face, watery eyes, etc.), but for some reason, I just felt like Teresa was faking it the entire time so that she will SEEM sincere. She's not, folks, ... she's not.

Teresa is no saint but they are all manipulative, catty, insecure, bitchy, etc. etc. and I still don't like that Melissa!!! She just rubs me the wrong way, which I'm sure is how Teresa feels...lol! They're all trainwrecks!!! Can't wait for the reunion part 2...I love a good T.V. trainwreck...lol!

LMAO at "a good T.V. trainwreck"!!! And I kindly join your guilty pleasure.

Yeah, I think they're all manipulative ( ... except for maybe Kathy, I think). When Melissa cries, she has uncontrollable crocodile tears that drip and fall, which causes me to see her as more sincere than Teresa.

I've always thought Caroline was a bully until she slimmed down and suddenly became pretty, ... so now her character has become more noble, and her advice more sought after. It's still hard for me to watch her and Teresa go at each other's throats like this, but it was bound to happen, because Teresa is soooooo insecure about having to share the spot light with other members of her family. I feel even WORST about Caroline and Dina not speaking anymore. How the hell did THAT happen?! I hope they go into more of that during Part 2 of the reunion show.

And, while I know Dina is no longer on the show, I am actually subscribed to her FB fan page, and I think she has the absolute most beautiful heart. She loves adopting animals with disabilities, ... i.e., hairless cats, two legged dogs. She's just like me when it comes to a love of animals. I'm glad to see her turn her popularity into something that she can use for a cause of some sort as opposed to being linked to reality TV drama. Go, Dina!!

I'm not sure who else watched the second part of the reunion, but my head hurts. Let me put it this way: I'm a law student, and I spent most of my day at the library working on practice exam problems, but I was at my highest point of mental exhaustion during the reunion with all that yelling. I don't know what that says about my potential legal career, however, the reunion was painful. Those women are insane.

Yeah, I watched it, too. That entire display was what I referred to as The Gang-Up-On-Teresa Reunion special. I mean, good grief, ladies! I don't even know what to say. Teresa annoyed the crap outta me with her constant pulling of her hair. We learned from one of the dating experts on Millionaire Matchmaker that when a woman is constantly touching her hair, it's a sign of insecurity. No kidding ... Well, hell, ... I'd be pretty insecure, too, if three women were attacking me all at the time time.

Hopefully, someone will shed light on their beef with Teresa for letting Gia sing that song on national television. I don't get why they felt it was "a disgrace" as Caroline said.

The Reunion - parts 1 and 2 - was paiiiiiinful. Those women are miserable. And Teresa needs to learn how to communicate better with others - she has no idea how condescending and insulting she is. Yes, everyone was picking on her, but that's because she does and says so many things that make it easy for others to have a beef with her!

On the other hand, "Watch What Happens Live," which was on right after the reunion, was hilarious! Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos do Melissa and Joe G: http://www.bravotv.com/watch-what-ha...-my-housewives

It was painful as hell to watch. No, I'm not a "Team Teresa" person but damn. I felt bad for her in the same way I feel bad for Brandi Glanville b/c having people turn against you and gang up on you is horrible. All those women acted like catty bitches towards each other. It's just sad.

On a sidenote, my cousin commented on Jacqueline's Twitter about the allegations that Jacqueline was in on the leaking of the pictures of Joe & the mystery woman. Her comment was promptly deleted & she received a reply from Jacqueline (or whomever runs her page) saying she didn't want negative stuff on her page. Lame! It's just as pathetic and lame as Kyle deleting negative comments from her Facebook.

[BetteDavisEyes]

Pot, meet Kettle.

Jacqueline & her hubby were hit with a lawsuit for fraud.

RadarOnline is reporting that Chris and his brother Joseph formed Signature Apparel Group (a company that once owned brands such as Rocawear and Eve’s Fetish) in 2005 and “drained the company” amassing a debt of $7,804,227 which was used to “support their luxurious lifestyle”!

According to documents the company banked more than $250 million between 2005 and 2009, but then surprisingly declared bankruptcy in September 2009, and just like their friend Teresa, someone started complaining that the bankruptcy petition might just be fraudulent. The suspicious bankruptcy filing prompted the debtor “to come forward with the complaint”, claiming company monies were “misused,” RadarOnline reveals.


It's interesting that she's given Tre so much grief over her bankrupcy filing and her lifestyle when it appears she herself was doing the same thing.

Yeah, I saw this earlier, ... but Jacqueline was giving Tre grief? Really? I don't remember her really saying too much about Tre's finances (but then again, I never read her blogs at all). But, as far as others, yeah ... we all thought Jacqueline was the sweetheart who had her shiggady together. Oh, well, ... I guess not.

I am starting to believe that with the exception of the BH wives (minus Taylor), BRAVO finds women & hubbies who are shady with their finances so they can then exploit their situations for ratings.

Kinda sad b/c as stupid as these people may be and as shady as their dealings may be, they still have young children that are going to inadvertently be dragged through the mud/humiliation/pain of knowing their parents are being labeled as criminals.

And I am starting to believe you're absolutely right.

When I look at ALL of them, ... and I do mean, ALLLLLLLLL of them, ... they all have issues. I never would've expected to hear these things about Jacqueline and her husband. Even as Ashley sat there with her biological father and his wife in that restaurant, I remember thinking to myself, "At least she has two parents who seem to have it together." Imagine how shocked I was to learn that they, too, had some shady financial business going on. It's like Bravo seeks these people out on purpose!

Alright, I'm actually starting to REALLY feel bad for Teresa right now, ... or at least embarassed for her. On her FB fan page, she just posted a pic of herself and Joe on a motorcycle, claiming she was looking for a video of Milania, but came across the pic of her and hubby instead. She should never have asked, "Doesn't Joe look hot?" because she got several responses like, "You SUCK!" and "Jo Gorga is hotter!" and "Uh, Joe? No, ... you both look trashy ..." and it goes on and on and on. I actually feel really, REALLY bad for her ...

I feel sympathy to her to an extent b/c I do feel bad that people are so quick to bully her, jump down her throat, trash her etc. She makes an easy target for everyone else (i.e. Caroline, Jacqueline, Melissa, Kathy, fans and even Andy Cohen himself who jumped on the bully bandwagon towards her at the reunion). Sickening.

I haven't watched this show since the days of table flipping and prostitution whores, but if Kathy Wakile's sister Rosemarie Pierri is going to be on the show regularly I'm hooked. Bravo needs to give her a show of her own.

I feel for Teresa's little girl, Gia as she's old enough to be aware of things happening between her parents. Not only does she get called a "stupid whore" by her little sister, but her father tells her to shut up.

Have y'all seen Teresa's newest product, Fabellini? It is sparkling wine that comes in two flavors, peach or raspberry. I wonder if it tastes better or worse than Andre sparkling wine? Considering it costs three or four times as much a bottle, one would hope so, but not likely. I'm thinking it is probably like peach schnapps or Razzmatazz mixed with bubbles and Ripple

yeah Rosemarie is hilarious.. lol @ razzmatazz & ripple
