RHONJ - Spoilers
I am really not liking Teresa this season. At the beginning I really could see how the fight was all Melissa but now I don't think that.
I can't believe Teresa took all the ladies to that carcass market - ewwwww. However, it did seem like everyone had a great time on the trip.
At the Black Water party - did Melissa really sing or was she lip synching? The song is OK - better than some of the other Housewife songs.
I heard Jacqueline won't be on the reunion show because of a fight with Teresa - not sure if that is true but I can see it. Jac has been pulling back it seems.
Re: RHONJ - Spoilers
Melissa was definitely lip syncing during the performance! Which is weird considering she was singing during the rehearsals beforehand. I was thinking maybe because she wasn't doing well during rehearsal and everyone was so nervous that they decided to play the track for her lip sync to instead. Which in my very honest opinion is ridiculous. If you're truely talented enough to have a "singing career" you should be able to sing live and dance at the same time. But I knew right away she was lip syncing because her voice sounded electronic and there wasn't a single mistake.
I'm wondering what happened to make Jacqueline walk away from Tereasa for good. They've always been so close, so it'll be interesting what pushed her over the edge.
I didn't like Kathy and Richie at all, but they're starting to grow on me as Tereasa is starting to really make me wonder what the heck is wrong with her! Still not a fan of Melissa.. but I'm glad she and Tereasa seem to be doing better.

I'm pretty sure Melissa was singing over her track. I could hear her voice, but also the track so I'm assuming that is what she was doing. Kim Z from ATL did that when she sings, its so she is singing a bit, but the majority of what you'll hear is the track.
Tre is bugging me so much this season. Joe Gorga said it best, she just can't be happy when someone else is successful!
Wondering if the company that makes BLK water only picked the Manzo's because they new it would get exposure on National TV?
I read that because of this there was a lot of tension during the Reunion Show.
I used to like Teresa, but now I just think she's ridiculous. Why would you put on your bikini and strut around your friend's sons? It's so weird and awkward. She's just super annoying now.
And on Melissa's song... I secretly like it. =P
I was absolutely disgusted by the way they all acted at the market. It was completely disrespectful - they were screaming and turning their noses up at the very real existence of the people in the DR. Shame on Bravo and these women for exploiting these people just for something "interesting" to show of their time there.
Can't wait to see Theresa's Italian/Dominican Fusion Cookbook lol!!!
Completely agree!
I am surprised Caroline hasn't stepped in more & really told Teresa a piece of her mind!
At the beginning of the show, I just thought Melissa was this new, sassy, showy SIL trying to upstage Teresa and create drama...now, I think the exact opposite. I feel that Teresa is trying to compete w/Melissa.
I like Kathy a lot...her husband, eh, he's OK. I like Jac & Caroline a lot. That's a shame about the reunion show, but I'm not surprised one bit. You can tell that Jac does not agree w/Teresa's perspective on her family.
I read that Jacqueline and Caroline are leaving the show.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/10/03/real-housewives-new-jersey-leaving-fired-caroline-manzo-jacqueline-laurita_n_992473.html
Just weeks after we broke the news that Jill Zarin, Kelly Bensimon and Alex McCord were fired from "The Real Housewives of New York," we can exclusively reveal that Bravo is discussing making some big changes with the cast of the New Jersey "Housewives" franchise, cutting both Jacqueline Laurita and Caroline Manzo from the show.
"Jacqueline and Caroline were told months ago that they wouldn't be returning for a fifth Season if they didn't bring the drama," a network insider tells me. "This season has been dominated by Melissa [Gorga] and Teresa [Giudice] drama and season four, that they are filming right now, is going to be no different."
Manzo, who has served as the voice of reason among the group since day one, has always refused to be involved in any of the set up drama that has translated into huge ratings for the show. Similarly, Laurita's entire story line, which involved her troubles with her daughter Ashley, has disappeared following Ashley's departure from the show.
"Producers have been showing all the ladies private footage of what they have all been saying behind each others' backs hoping to bring Jacqueline and Caroline into the drama," an insider tells me. "But so far, they have kept their cool on camera and saved the drama for Twitter, not TV."
Laurita also refused to attend the reunion taping for the season currently airing, further hurting her chances of being invited back after she completes the next three weeks of filming for the upcoming season.
"Jacqueline refused to come out of her house the day of the reunion taping," an insider tells me. "Bravo's car sat in the driveway all day and she just refused to leave her home even if it meant she was violating her contract."
However, unlike the fired New York ladies, this parting appears to be mutual. Manzo's sister and Laurita's sister-in-law, Dina Manzo, told me just a few weeks ago that other women currently on the show were not having fun anymore and might follow her lead and say goodbye.
Get out now with your heads held high, ladies! This is about to get ugly.
Agreed! I was totally team Tre when the season began, but now Tre irritates the shiz out of me and I'm all for Melissa. Joe Gorga still bugs me occasionally, but it's clear he loves his wife and he loves his sister and they appear to be genuinely trying to get through this stupid feud. Teresa and Joe Guidice keep fanning the flames.
I think Teresa's fight with Kathy has been utterly ridiculous as well and just paints a further picture of how dysfunctional she is. She completely overreacted to the original incident, she was flat-out wrong (as evidenced by how often Bravo shows the baby left alone at the Christening), and then she was wrong again with the Punta Cana fight. She twisted Kathy's words and took offense where she didn't need to. I don't dig Kathy and Richie, but she did nothing wrong there.
I've heard that Jacqueline refused to attend the reunion despite being in breach of contract and will not return for season 5. I follow both her and Teresa on Twitter and watched the drama that day open-mouthed, trying to keep up and sort out the details. It was amusing to say the least.
I hadn't heard that Caroline won't be back for season 5 and that makes me sad. I get it, though. She was always above the drama, and good for her, but Bravo's bound to want the ***-stirrers. Maybe they'll invite Danielle back.
I read somewhere that the boys and their uncle Chris (Jac's husband) heard about this water and they approached the small family company that created the water to partner with them.
I'm sure it was easy for the company to agree to partner with them since they are some what famous.
Ditto. I think Jaqueline is sick of Theresa's lack of class and her annoying voice ...ugh even Caroline constantly complains about it!
I agree. Teresa is tweedle dee and Joe is tweedle dum.
I will miss Caroline and Jacqueline and their respective families (except Ashley) if they are no longer on RH.
