Even thought this season of The Real Housewives of New
Jersey ended on a good note, the reunion starts off with something we were already
expecting… the feud between the Giudices and the Gorgas continues. Read our “recap” below!
Before I begin everyone knows that halfway through this
season I pretty much gave up recapping this season since I was beyond over the
family drama between the Gorgas and the Giudices, I got tired of seeing this
endless and ridiculous feud. For three damn seasons it’s the same damn storyline,
also Bravo’s editing this season of RHONJ was beyond awful, it was worst than
what Slice did to the second season of The Real Housewives of Vancouver. The
Teresa blame game got old quick, Bravo really made this season of RHONJ uninteresting,
predicable, and in MY OPINION not enjoyable to watch. That being said I will
only recap on what in my opinion I feel were the best moments from this part 1 reunion
special.
The reunion starts off with Andy Cohen throwing shade once
again and this time asking Teresa about her current legal troubles. Andy asks
Teresa if any of her cast mates been supported of her, and she answers yes. Andy
then brings up the rumors if Caroline’s husband Albert cheating on her.
Caroline goes on saying that she never said Albert cheated but she is just
being realistic, she says to think that he has been faithful all this time it’s
not realistic, ok now I’m confused, so did he or didn't he cheat Caroline? Anyways
Andy then asks Teresa if she thinks her husband has been faithful and Teresa
answers yes, Andy as always throwing shade and especially on Teresa. Caroline
says that out of all her cast mates the housewives that that have grown the
least through out past seasons are Teresa and Melissa since they are both
alike. Melissa quickly gets offended by Caroline’s comment. Why am I not surprised
by this?
Andy Cohen then brings up how Melissa wrote about her father
in her book, Andy then asks Teresa if she knew that Melissa’s father was
unfaithful, Teresa says she was shocked to know that Melissa decided not to
share that with her when she saw it on TV considering she is family. Melissa
says that it’s none of Melissa’s business but then quickly Teresa tells her if
it doesn't matter then why put it out there for all the viewers to know, which
she has a very good point.
Andy then shows a clip of Melissa throwing shade at Teresa
saying that she is actually writing an advice book and not a cookbook, Teresa
then defends herself and tells her she wrote her book at well not just recipes
and feels like Teresa was throwing a dig at her, Side note: Who has made it to
the New York Best Sellers List? You’re welcome, nuff said! Caroline then shouts
like she is in the Godfather Part 2 and says “Who Cares?” but looks like Teresa
and Melissa care, I mean no one brings the fact that Dina and her have issues
so Caroline needs to back off on this one, is Teresa and Melissa petty? At
times yes, but Caroline who cares about you have to say at this point, I may
sounds like a sour puss but I am over this season that’s all!
Andy then brings up the fact that Teresa was seen at a Sushi
restaurant with Kim D and Melissa’s former BFF, Jan. Teresa explains that she
and Kim D were having lunch and Jan was there but not with them, she just
happened to be there. Apparently a photo of them was sent to Melissa’s cell
phone which is why Melissa confronted Teresa and then it ended up showing up on
Radar Online the next day. Teresa states that Melissa has a deal with Radar
that she will give them stories about Teresa as long as they don’t talk about
her, can we say Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 2 flashback?
Andy asks Jacqueline about her surgeries, Jacqueline
honestly replies back she had a tummy tuck, nose job, breasts done and of
course the Real Housewives medicine aka botox and fillers. Andy then asks
Jacqueline if Dina has reached out to her about Nicholas autism, after a moment
of silence Jac replies no. Also Andy asks Jacqueline who has she missed more?
Teresa or Dina? Jacqueline responds is Teresa because she was closer to her and
they are both happy trying to fix their issues.
Teresa calls out Melissa for suggestion that her husband was
cheating on her and Melissa instead of moving forward replies by saying “Do you
see how if feels?” last time I checked Regina George from Mean Girls wasn’t on
a reality show but I digress. It’s clear to me that Melissa is playing her “role”
very well but 3 seasons later I’m over the victimized rile, next please. Melissa
gets called out for allowing her sisters to attack Teresa constantly on Twitter
and Melissa and Joe Gorga try to justify it by saying that they are defending
their sister and Teresa tells Joey Gorga aka Tarzan aka The sixth cast member
of The Real Housewives of New Jersey that she is his sister and he should
defend her but nothing comes out of this, sad but true. I guess fame and
playing a role is more important than actually family.
Speeding this recap up, Kathy defends her husbands idiotic
offensive comments and then Kathy and Rosie say it’s ok if Richie grabbed Rosie’s
breast their family, and then to prove a point Rosie grabs Joey Gorga’s crotch
and says he has a big one, can we say EWWWW! They also talk about the fight
between the Joe’s and we learn than Joey Gorga did in fact grabbed Juicy Joe’s
balls and they both laugh it off cause apparently that’s how you discover how
much you love your family by physically fighting.
They talk about the pictures circulating of Teresa
and Penny together. Teresa defends herself by saying that
she doesn't know Penny and those were taken at an event, let's keep it real, everyone that has
attended an event or book signing of Teresa knows that she will take photos
with anyone, so why do they all act surprised by this? Really?
Dr. V shows up for apparently an intervention or a therapy
session but it looks like these people are not willing to change, and they plan
to stick to their “roles’ for air time. I have to say Juicy Joe was the only
one who didn't give a F while being there and I’m with him on this one, the reunion
ends with Caroline and Teresa going at it. Basically this reunion was beyond
boring, I felt like it was a remake of Season 3 and Season 4 put together but whatever,
it is what it is.
