I agree. I pay for all the repairs and upgrades (I have an older brick and stone house). When the mortgage company starts doing this, I'll gladly say that I'm "renting to own."

I never thought I'd say this but...wait for it....I'm on Danielle's side (that took a lot out of me...you really don't know). Kim G was wrong for being two-faced and telling the Manzos all her business especially regarding her wanting to find her birth mom. That was low. Then she went off on Danielle in the restaurant (for once Danielle wasn't the crazy one) because she knew she was wrong, just wanted to ACT like she wasn't and put on a SHOW for everyone. When you have friends like Kim G., who needs enemies? Also, kudos to Danielle for taking her daughter to the GYN for a sex lesson. It seems Danielle does have some sense sometimes.

And I can't stand Ashley as well (although her disrespectful behavior is Jacquelyn's fault). She needs a good ole ass whoopin'.

I'm an adoptee and anything having to do with our biological parents is frought with emotion. For her to confide in Kim G. and for Kim G. to spread stuff like that around is just beyond the pale. Kim G. got what she deserved and I think Danielle acted with a fair amount of class for once in her life. In fact, I think Kim G's even crazier, in her way, than Danielle - at least Danielle knows where she stands and doesn't try to play both sides against the middle. In fact, I was in a similar situation to Kim G. in junior high. I had two good friends in the neighborhood who couldn't stand each other - we basically had a "ladies' agreement" that I would see each of them separately and would not carry tales to one about the other. So it can be done, but it amuses me that junior high kids can make it work but grown-ups can't.
As for Teresa - where does she get off, throwing that blow-out party when she's supposed to be broke as the Ten Commandments? Seriously, as a Catholic, I was quasi-offended that she put so much emphasis over style over substance. Kudos to Dina, though, for taking her role seriously and being what a godmother is supposed to be.

1. If it was that private of a matter to her, she shouldn't have discussed it on camera for the world to see.

2. Teresa, at this point, didn't know anything about the finances. She has said in interviews that Joe kept her in the dark about how deep in debt they were. It's kind of like Lynn on Housewives of Orange County, except Joe didn't let it get as far as an eviction from their house before Teresa found out, like with Lynn's husband. The difference is that once they started taking care of their situation, Teresa started doing something about it, ie: selling their stuff. Lynn kept shopping.

Teresa needs to get a clue period. She is in the dark about many things. Sometimes I think she has a grade school education.

Oh and you're right about Danielle taking her daughter to the GYN on TV; I forgot about that.

Catholic is not an ethneticity Danielle.

Do you know how many Catholic Italians there are??? lol

ETA: Ugh I sympathize with Caroline. It's hard being around family and not being able to properly communicate with them b/c your older relatives decided not to speak to you in their native language.

what would compel Caroline to meet with Danielle? the "showdown" seems unnecessary.

^ The producers. Apparently the reunion was filled with drama between Teresa and Caroline, and of course it'll be 90 minutes and in 2 parts.

Teresa's kids were out of control during the trip to Italy...and those outfits that she put them in for the last night's dinner were hideous.

The one who likes to yell needs a butt whooping.

Ooh drama between Teresa and Caroline or Danielle and Caroline? I wonder what drama Teresa and Caroline would have.

Yes!! That trip would have been torture... just looking at the pink satin, hoop skirted, leopard and feather confections worn by the four whiny divettes made me bilious. Pinky the Pirate meets Jane of the Jungle meets Maria Antoinettia.
