RHONJ Reunion Part 2- Spoilers
Tonight's episode was ridiculous. Teresa made no sense and contradicted herself, as usual. Caroline was unusually loud and offensive. Andy also seemed to have it out for Teresa. They all seemed to have one purpose in mind- ganging up on Teresa. What did you guys think?
Re: RHONJ Reunion Part 2- Spoilers
I think Teresa caught a lot of flack in the reunion, but I also think she brought the vast majority of it upon herself. She's spent all season being so snake-like to everyone on that show - the in-fighting with her family, insulting her friends, just being an all-around b!tch. She talks out of both sides of her mouth, she takes zero responsibility for anything she says or does - and definitely can't apologize to anyone. Her husband's a total douchecanoe, he's offensive, he's ignorant, he's disgusting. It was all bound to come down on them eventually.
And, honestly, Andy Cohen calling her out on her inability to speak correctly "I'm sorry. Are you not saying the word distanced?" was hysterical and spot-on.
Caroline was more rage-y than I've ever seen her, but Teresa brought up the Dina Issue and I think the gloves came off then.
I think it's a shame that there was so much shrieking. It's like the damn NY cast - you only hear half of what they say because they're all too busy screaming over each other.
Teresa is just ridiculous. She contradicted herself so many times and made no sense. It did seem like everyone was ganging up on her, but she brought it on herself and deserved it. I also loved when Andy called her out when she kept saying "I distant myself..." Too funny!
Caroline seemed sad the whole time. Angry, frustrated and sad. Do we know what happened with her and Dina, besides Teresa filling her head with lies?
touching my hairs, "whatever" and then moving my hand in disbelief in front of my face.
I though the fame went to Teresa's head. I just tought, how come you are always in the tabloids and the others aren't? Also, Dina has now her show so I am not sure why she just started to speak to Teresa 6m ago and stopped talking to Caroline.
One thing is for sure, I'll watch next season to see the drama with Jacqueline and then I am done with them. They are famewhores and it's a shame that people would stop talking to their relatives just because of $$. And let's face it, after your 5m is up, what will be left?
^Teresa.

I honestly think Andy was very nice about his way of holding her accountable. He seemed pretty patient, whereas others might have made her feel really stupid about her lack of ability use the correct word. If she's going to throw daggers and continue to loudly make unsubstantiated claims, she should be held accountable to elaborate her point. She struggles because she's a moron.
Caroline wasn't as reasonable a force as she has shown she can be. I agree w/ pp that said she was so rageful last night that she looked a bit foolish but you can only sit through that much stupid before you go nuts.
Melissa was pretty calm given the unrelenting insults thrown her way. Kathy was the voice of reason. She's probably realizing a relationship with Theresa isn't as appealing as it once was.
I'm still LOL'ing at Theresa trying to come up with just one thing she regrets saying. Even after Melissa gave her a whole list of things, she had a very hard time picking just one.
I don't think Andy had it out for her. She is just so ridiculous and ignorant and stubborn that she brings it all on herself. I don't think anyone was ganging up on her. She deserves every bit of what she got.
I cannot wait to see her on Celeb Apprentice.
Dina posted an interesting blog on her website last night regarding her POV and what happened when she left RHONJ. She didn't go into specifics about her fight with Caroline, but she did say Teresa had nothing to do with it.
I honestly didn't enjoy this reunion at all. It was clearly 3 against 1 and while Teresa does bring a lot on herself, it's clear she is just uneducated and blindly sticking by her husband. Joe brings a lot of drama to Teresa's life and I said last week and I'll say it again, I think she'll put up with whatever Joe does just so she can live the lifestyle she wants. She's also always lets her emotions get the best of her and can never form a rational, educated response to any question. I really kind of feel bad for her. Joe Gorga tweeted last night something to the affect that there was more history to this than what was shown on the show and I really think that's true.
And I really lost a lot of respect for Caroline during the reunion. It made me wonder how much of her on-air personality is really just an act.
Priss28King is wise.--"Lurky, you are so mean... but always so on point!"
Even though I hate that show, I MIGHT actually watch it to see her...
I don't think Caroline came off looking the best that she could in the reunion episode but we have to remember that the reunion was taped like twelve hours after a huge blow-up between Teresa and Jacqueline, a member of Caroline's family. After the way Teresa treated her own family as well as Caroline's family in the past season and then after witnessing what happened with Jacqueline I can understand why Caroline showed up to the reunion ready to throw down. If she had a day or two to cool down before the reunion, she may have been more calm and collected.

I think Teresa actually deserved more than she got. I think everything everyone said abuot her was dead on....I actually think she is mentally ill.
I do not think Caroline looked bad at all, I can not imagine how frustrating it is trying to deal with Teresa's denial and low IQ. I think they have all been way too patient with her.
This is the way I look at it... Teresa is clearly an idiot. She can hardly form a complete sentence, she makes no sense when she's trying to reason with people and she thinks she can say whatever she wants and it is a 'joke' but gets pissed when other people do the same thing to her. BUT- what you see is what you get.
I think the reunion was boring and 1-sided. It was basically the same thing over and over again for 2 hours. I still think Melissa is fake as h*ll. She had a list saved on her phone of all of the bad things Teresa said about her. Who does that?
Teresa may have been ganged up on, but she brought it on herself.
I don't blame the other women - I think they have all just reached the point where they can't rationally deal with Teresa's craziness and stupidity anymore.
There are a couple of versions of the story floating around and because the issue occurred during the filming of season 4, the cast can't really talk about it. The story I've heard is:
During an event they were all attending, Teresa allegedly brought/invited an old boss of Melissa's to basically come out and say that Melissa used to be a stripper. Melissa has come out to say that she's never been a stripper - she was either a waitress or a bartender when she worked for the guy.
Jacqueline posted frantically on Twitter that night, jabbing at Teresa, clearly p*ssed off. It was all about realizing someone's true colors, liars, etc., etc. Teresa responded a bit, but Jacqueline posted the most. Melissa jumped in a bit, I think Kathy may have said one or two things... it fizzled quickly, likely due to limitations placed on them with the season 4 filming.
That all happened the day before the reunion. Jacqueline was ticked off and upset and refused to attend, which was a breach of contract. A few days later, rumors started that Jacqueline and Caroline weren't returning for a season 5.
