The Real Housewives of NJ

[ThetaDancer]

Yikes. Tonight's episode was like the NY episode when Kelly had a complete meltdown, in that I almost feel like it's inappropriate for a reality show [disclaimer: I still watched it!].

I feel like I'm watching someone have a complete mental breakdown and I'm wrestling with whether I should be watching this on tv for entertainment. Danielle shouldn't be a cast member on a show like this; she's not mentally or emotionally healthy at all. When she started talking about how the other women were on a mission to "kill Danielle" I just kept thinking of when Kelly thought Bethenny was coming after her.

Please note: Danielle has appeared, quite gleefully (pun possibly intended: see below) in the Watch What Happens this season. Kelly didn't appear in a Watch episode, and was quite subdued during the Reunion epsiodes. Danielle promoed her song, which was (contrary to her behavior in this and other seasons) had, as I understand it, lesbian overtones. (I haven't stayed awake long enough to watch the dvr'd episode.) The NJ was filmed months ago, so Danielle has made a remarkable recovery.

Danielle is probably crazy, or at least borderline. But she is great TV and she knows it. Reality is personality driven and the ratings are excellent. So, I can't wait to see tonight's episode.

I feel the sorriest for her kids. I can't wait for their book.

I also got the whole "should I be watching this" feeling, but I watched it anyways! lol

The idea that Danielle actually was supposedly fainting and couldn't walk out of FEAR, is insane! She's insane! Yeah Teresa could have been a little instigator (although I'm very much like Teresa, I would have done it all---even walking to Danielle's car), but it wasn't like she had even laid a hand on Danielle. Danielle just ran away for nothing.

OMG Ashley pulled on her hair, no I don't believe that Ashley pulled out that chunk of hair, because umm.....when someone pulls out your hair, usually THEY have it, not you. So I don't buy the whole "this is the hair that Ashley pulled out." Besides I don't think extensions count as 'your' hair.

The whole knife/9 mm was a "wah wah waaaaah" moment...kinda disappointed in that, but what followed was more than enough entertainment for me. lol

I laughed through this whole episode.

And I understand Ashley being upset with Jacquelyn. She's a teenager. She wants to know that what she did was right and good but in reality it wasn't. (although I laughed my ass off) I'm sure deep down inside Jacquelyn is laughing too.

Ashley is remarkably like Danielle... drama oriented, prone to violence, hears what she wants to hear, and completely narcissistic. They are soulmates, if they but knew it.

Teresa definitely instigated a little. Her line, "I'm so nice. I'm the most polite person. I'm like that, I'm kind..." is hilarious, but BS. I love her, but a sainted peacemaker, she ain't.

Caroline is really pretty this season...hair, makeup and clothing all works really well!
