Previews look like a lot of extra extra Housewife strife.
Kicking off by getting reacquainted with the “Housewife kids.” The biggest shock is Little Audriana. She looks so grown up.
Teresa finally sold the house. I wonder how the new owners feel about such a famous/infamous home. She and Louie purchased a home together. The Guidice girls are NOT looking forward to “living with boys.” Going to have to say that I don’t blame then. Boys are stupid and smelly. Just kidding.
Louie has two sons. Theresa insists that they have been together long enough to warrant this major life step, of living together and blending their families. Gia points out that ‘almost a year’ isn’t really that long. I agree with Gia, in adult years, it’s not.
Gia says, “You still find out new things about a person every single day.”
Ain’t that the truth?? And you don’t know the ins and outs and quirks of someone, until you live with them, (or spend all day every day with them, every day.) I’m speaking from experience. Is Gia really the child of Theresa and Joe?
Case in point: Why does Teresa always say “knock on wood” and knock on her fucking head? Can’t someone (Gia perhaps) tell her that her head is not made of wood?? (Or is it – that would explain a lot) At any rate, this makes her look sort of a word that is inappropriate. That I won’t say. I feel like the producers are having a laugh every time she does this, and purposely don’t correct her.
I would have loved to see how badly that would have turned out if Teresa and Melissa were neighbors. That could have been a show on it’s own, and, i haven’t been too into the spin-offs, but THAT would watch!
I have been seeing here and there that there is trouble in paradise, and the girls now hate him. See above. Living with someone is a whole different ball game. And he has two sons, so he’s not used to teenage girls. And they have no brothers, so they’re not used to guys in their household.
The girls discuss how they are still at odds with Joe Gorga, Teresa’s brother because of him talking badly about their dad. Joe Gorga was upset about Guidice causing his sister to go to jail, possibly causing his mom to be so distraught that she got really sick and passed away. I think that’s justified. Do they know how their mother acts? They should watch the early eps when they were little, how Theresa treated Melissa and Joe, just because she’s jealous of Melissa. (smarter, prettier, better marriage) This is ridiculous. They need to give them a pass on this one. They should even be annoyed with him for sending their mom to jail for a year. I know it’s their dad, so I don’t feel they should be “canceling him out.” or shutting him out of their life. But they’re undying support of everything he does is annoying to me. I recall him being rather mean to Gia and Milania a lot on the earlier shows. Milania mostly when she was younger, because she’s ya know, Malania, and went through her “terrible two’s” for like eight years.
On to Dolores. She’s loving these belly shirts since she had her nip/tuck last year. Anywho she complains about her house not being finished that Frank was to be renovating. She is still with David at filming. She goes on with this TIRED old rhetoric (anybody else sick of it I?) about NOT moving in with stupid David, because he STILL won’t give her a commitment. (ring) I have seen that she did finally dump his dumb ass and already has a new dude. Also change – Frank now has a (much younger – shock) girlfriend. About time. She lives in Texas though ? Wonder if this was some sort of online meeting? She has rented a townhouse in the interim while the renos are being worked on, because she can’t move in with David of course. Because of no commitment. (ring)
So there’s a comedy act that all of the Jersey HouseHusbands are in on ? I knew about Gorga’s attempt at stand-up. I didn’t know the Husbands has some Comedy gig going on. Don’t think I would pay any actual money to see this.
Cringy commercial with Melissa and Joe plugging this Jennifer Lopez movie that looks awful. This new house isn’t going to pay for itself now is it ? She’s also plugging Marshall’s when she owns a small clothing boutique is weird too. Maybe she’s not doing that anymore?
There is this “creepy” video floating around with Louie on a beach with a group of men. It’s some sort of dude gathering, or “retreat” where they talk about their feelings and shit. All of the ladies are making a huge huge deal out of it, and discussing how they think Teresa feels about it, and if he’s embarrassed, and if they should bring it up to her etc etc. They seem really excited about it actually. I haden’t heard of this?
I looked it up and here is the link.
My opinion and assessment of this video is that it’s odd, for sure. Mostly because you just don’t normally see guys acting like this. (apologizing and taking accountability – lol) Seriously though, egging each other on to discuss their feelings and how they’re going to make it right. What actually troubles me about this, and should serve as a red flag for Teresa, is that it seems to me like he was a real fucking douche to this chick that he’s apologizing to. What’s he apologizing for? And if he was a douche to her, he most likely will be to Teresa and her daughters. I have heard chatter that things are not great right now, and the girls now hate him. It could be rumors. Or it could be true. I don’t foresee them getting married.
Jackie visits Margaret to discuss bringing this up to Teresa. Have we met her? You cannot tell this bitch anything? She’s going to have to figure this out for herself.
They all seem to be focused on the strangeness of this video. But Margaret does point out to Jackie, what did he actually do wrong? And will the behavior be repeated with Teresa? I agree this is the bigger issue. Margaret does usually bring the common sense. They flash to the last reunion with the dreaded Kim D coming out with talk of him being abusive in past relationships. I wonder how many ex’s he has other than an ex-wife ? If there are several, that tells you a lot. Maybe things you don’t want to know, but it should be addressed. When someone (male or female) has like five ex’s, it’s a little hard to believe, there was something “wrong” with every single one of them, that the relationships didn’t work out.
I know you all love my relationship advice snippets that I offer.
They discuss someone addressing these concerns with her. I’m sure that will go over well. Teresa loves to discuss things that are not so great in her life.
I forgot there is a new housewife ( or friend maybe) this season. It’s a friend of Melissa’s, Traci. They are discussing, what else? Teresa and Louie. This is the hot hot topic. Halfway into this, and I’m getting really tired of it.
Melissa calls him her “knight in shining armor” that swooped in. (Yeah, they always are in the beginning)
So more juicy gossip on Louie and the video. More about this “camp.” Joe’s like, “yeah I’m not into that kind of camp.” (being surrounded by naked guys)
Newcomer Traci says that she doesn’t ‘like to judge’ others because when she met her husband, he was married and his wife was two months pregnant. And this Tiki (former football player) was already separated “four or five months.” So of course, this looks bad, and tabs went nuts over her being much younger and him ditching his family and pregnant wife. Joe points out that he doesn’t like to bring shit up with her because then he’s the “bad guy.”
When he brought up the issues with her ex and causing her to go to jail, then he went for three years, she got pissed at him for daring to say that maybe Joe Guidice was a shit that she shouldn’t stay with.
Which she did end of realizing, and decided that she couldn’t forgive him, and ultimately divorced him. So, there’s that. But this is typical Teresa.
Will I get yelled at if I point out that Jennifer’s girls seem to have a slight weight problem. I just hate to see this of young girls. Since women tend to gain weight after marriage and kids etc. So if you already have a problem as a child, it’s not going to get better unless it gets nipped in the bud now. I know it’s a delicate situation. No one else in the family seems to have a weight problem.
Jennifer has a bandage on he nose from a nose job. She went to a doctor she found on insta in Turkey? When her husband is a plastic surgeon? I guess finding a surgeon is okay this way, if you still do your homework? Like look into credentials and reviews.
She says that when she had her tummy tuck, Bill said she was the ‘worst patient ever.’ In light of what comes out later, perhaps he just didn’t want her in his office? Anyway he thinks she’s had the bandage on too long. Who cares. Jennifer says her and her mom made up. Good, I was really worried about that. NOT.
We’re getting filled in on this middle school social media bickering BS that Jennifer seems to be involved in with everyone except Teresa and Dolores. And she wasn’t even invited to Margaret’s Pride party! Oh my God !! Ridiculous.
Theresa calls Joe and tells him that Louie is crying like a bitch, that he made fun of this boy camp video thing in his comedy act. Joe seems “surprised” that this would have made it’s way online, for Louie to see. Yeah dude, that’s a shocker. Welcome to 2021!! He also seems surprised Louie would be offended by, “I never missed my brother-in-law so much…” when someone asks about Louie. Whom we all know he hates with a vengeance. (Joe Guidice) So there was probably another way to ‘brush off’ the question.
Melissa points out that Louie is ‘sensitive.’ She defends Joe of course. She said he did him a “favor” with his answer.
Okay he didn’t really engage or elaborate on his reply, but I wouldn’t go THAT far. They get into his nieces being all pissy with him, and they seem to be playing the ‘who owes who a phone call’ or should be making the first move game of excuses. That’s so adult.
Joe is rubbing his head and being all dramatic and proclaims – “I have made the decision to not attend the party.” Melissa says, okay, as if she really agrees. As if she doesn’t want to strut around for the cameras. Please.
T is getting ready for the party. Anyone else like cannot stand her voice? It’s starting to be on the Meredith on Salt Lake level with me.
The theme of the party seems to be pineapples, pineapples, and more pineapples. (hmmm I might be feeling a recipe “inspiration” here – stay tuned for a pineapple recipe! I think I know which one!)
Feeling like the pineapple on Jersey this year is going to be the “hot toddy” of the last Beverly Hills season. Except pineapple does have another “job” for the ladies. Maybe they should be holding pineapples in the intro since the Jersey ladies have nothing to hold.
And we’re getting ready for this dreaded pool party. These always go so well.
Dolores’ dog is named “Dog?” WTF.
Jennifer is in her room getting ready, of course there is a huge “Fendi” bag like RIGHT there !! Is she endorsing Fendi? I’m starting to wonder this, with some of the brands I keep seeing on the Bravo shows, over and over. And that bag seems to be propped just so perfectly. Or maybe she’s just hoping for a deal?
She is worried if she’s going to be getting “ganged up on” at the party by the others. Bill said they did last time. Bill compares the ladies to “high school” friendships. No shit Bill. What a profound statement. I’m sure no one has compared these “friendships” on the Housewives to high school before?
That’s outrageous.
Dolores arrives and after doing a tequila shot with PINEAPPLE of course, confronts Teresa asking whether or not Louie is “nervous” about coming to the party and seeing everyone.
Melissa and Joe, of course are here. Supposedly Teresa called him and told him she really wants to come. Maybe she lured him with the pineapple juice that Melissa will be drinking.
Dolores fills in Tiki, new House Husband, about her boyfriend David “who you will rarely see because he’s working all the time.” I know she has since dumped him (wonder if she returned the Jag?) but I wonder if, at this point she was at least beginning to realize that he’s not around (and ‘working’) because he doesn’t WANT to be around?? She also talks about Frank being her fill-in, but now he has a girlfriend. Tiki is looking at her like she’s an idiot.
Teresa goes inside and calls Louie to ask about his whereabouts. Seems not in a rush get there. From her end, it sounds like he’s worried. Looking a little uncomfy when he does arrive. The boys are also gossiping about him. Oh my God, how much longer??
Dolores tells Teresa about Joe’s joke at the comedy thing, and she plays dumb about it. (it’s hard to tell with her though – I did really think she didn’t understand it, she does pound on her head for “knock on wood”) and says “ohhh — I like that !!” (at least she didn’t say “I love that.”) But of course she already knew and this appears staged. Whatever.
Dolores and Margaret get together and realize she’s telling different stories about Joe’s joke and Louie’s reaction.
“Louie should address the video” Margaret tells Teresa.
I hate to say it, but I sort of agree with Teresa. I do. And I never agree with this broad. I think she’s a fucking moron with zero self-awareness. I would call her a narcissist but they’re usually somewhat intelligent, because they need to be, in order to be so manipulative. Perhaps this is why she fails at being manipulative.
Although I do have concerns with the video, but if it was filmed when they were not even together yet. As she said, everyone has a past. Especially when you’re dating in this age range. You really have a past. But I think she should address with him the reason behind his graveling for forgiveness from this ex -person.
They’re bitching about Jennifer when she arrives for slut shaming Marg, and calling her out for saying that Joe Gorga doesn’t “pay people” (maybe this is why Melissa is doing all of the embarrassing commercials) and saying that and everyone is ignoring her, due to the social media fights.
They start mean girl gossiping about her nose. They call her “unrecognizable.” That seems overboard. Meredith on WWHL on Sunday was unrecognizable. She looks the same except it sort of “turns up.” I think her profile is strange with it. But from the front not that bad. I’m not in love with my nose, but I can’t see ever getting anything done. So risky.
Jennifer feels awkward. Teresa plays dumb. She says she realizes why Melissa and Margaret are mad at her, but she thought Jackie liked her. Teresa fetches Jackie and she says she’s “upset with her” for trying to drive a wedge in between her and Margaret by some sort of story concoction.
Ultimately she forgives her for this when she starts to cry. Now Margaret is in the mix.
During this SM showdown, she called Margaret a “snake.” Margaret tells her that she thinks her issue is that she’s “unhappy.” I kind of feel that too. She weirdly says she wakes up saying “I love my house, I love my husband…” (the house is first though – lmao) then starts talking about having a man to pay her bills … (is there a point here??) she does have five kids so it’s not ridiculous that she doesn’t work. Margaret cuts her off – “it’s not about the fucking money!”
Jennifer tells her she’s jealous and Margaret says “be honest be honest.” So reminds of Kyle Richards on RHOBH, and I don’t want to be reminded of Kyle and her stupid shit stirring antics.
They play a shit ton of flashes with Jennifer on her high horse, talking about how Margaret met her husband while she was married, and they were having an affair, and how inappropriate this was.
Margaret then spills that Bill had an affair and that’s why he left his job.
Jennifer corrects her though, (because this is important) “not the office manager, the pharmaceutical rep you fucking idiot ! Jennifer says. Was she trying to be funny? Cuz it was ! Also the pharm rep isn’t in the office all day – she’s in and out. ( pun intended)
What was the timeline of this I wonder? Like recent? Or before she was a Housewife?
I love how they always put “To Be Continued” up at the end. Like aren’t they ALL “to be continued?”
It’s not like they don’t ALWAYS pick up right where they left off the previous week. Dumb.
I’m gonna have some pineapple juice.
