The Real Housewives of NJ

I have to say it was definitely interesting to see this all unfold. I agree with Albert's opinion that the only person that brings a bodyguard to a party is someone who is anticipating trouble (hence Kim G. bringing the lady suing Teresa & Joe). I agree that Kim was there to start trouble b/c she wouldn't let it go after they bounced out her friend who obviously handled the situation way better than Kim G. did. While it was surprising and funny to watch Caroline boot Kim out of Melissa's house, I have to say I thought she did the right thing. Kim was not listening to anyone and was obviously hellbent on stirring up the drama. I felt bad for Chris since he was caught between his family & his best friend but still, it was for the better that Kim was given the heave ho.

What I didn't like was watching Joe Guidice's limited interactions and stupid comments about Joe Gorga & Melissa when they went over. Did he really think the cameras wouldn't catch him calling them animals & talking crap about them? Teresa & Joe are trying to mend their relationship. His commentary isn't helping. I was surprised to see Teresa defend him in her blog. Those comments were uncalled for. He could have been polite & kept his thoughts to himself. What an ass.

Kathy & her husband irritate me. Why is she on the show?

Ashley (Jaqueline's daughter) needs to grow the eff up & stop her stupid bitching & moaning. She gets no sympathy from me or most viewers. The brat has everything she could want & all she does is complain about everything. Ugh!

Have you read this blog? Apparently Bravo edited her blog on there. I know Teresa is a shizzat talking/starter, but Melissa is so fake. I have to believe Teresa on this one.

Still can't tell who started the fight though. Looks like Joe went to confront Gorga and Gorga went after him.

I'm just getting back from an opera bootcamp in Los Angeles (where I had NO television ... ), so I'm just getting a chance to watch all my DVR'd shows.

I still think Melissa is doing her best to try to help bring the family together, but she ain't no fool either. She had to give Teresa a hard time, because Teresa didn't even seem to care about the family during last season. I still say Teresa's renewed attention to "family" involves the fact that her "family" has been casted on the episode WITH her. Now, all of a sudden, EVERYthing is about "family" these days.

Now that Melissa and Teresa have talked, my hat's off to Melissa for getting the attorney, who was suing the Giudices, thrown out of the party. But even in that, she could've been even more shady about it, but she wasn't. I think she handled it in a very diplomatic way. That's my opinion, and I honestly believe that Melissa is a genuine person.

As for Caroline throwing Kim "G" out, ... I don't know. That was long overdue. How the hell she got into the party (with a BODYGUARD, no less) is beyond me in the first place. If I'm invited to a party, I need not go at all if I'm concerned about having someone protect me. That makes NO sense.
