Over a post-flu pancake breakfast, Melissa tells Folletto all about his beloved niece’s birthday party that he was too sick/bitter to attend. Melissa whines that The Hated Kim D confronted her about not visiting Teresa and Folletto’s father in the hospital, which she did! Totalmente! Sure, it might have taken her a day or two to get to the hospital, but she thought she might be coming down with strep throat (she was not) and also, who’s counting? Dai!

Bentornati a New Jersey, pulcini! Mi dispiace for being so late with this post, but before I was able to get started, I had to do a bit of research trying to figure out the exact timeline for this pazzo show. Throughout the episode, il Follettos and il Meatballs each say that it has been somewhere between a year and a year and a half since they’ve seen each other, which, che cosa? how can that be? It seems like just yesterday they were all together screaming at each other about being strippers. (Tutti are strippers.) And it was just yesterday, sort of. Here’s how it breaks down:
Last season, season 4, began filming in the summer of 2011, immediately after season 3 ended. The reunion for season 3, however, was filmed the day after the Posche fashion show when season 4 ended, which was sometime in very late September 2011. The reunion for season 4 was filmed around a year after season 4 ended, sometime in September 2012. Which means that the cast has had a year without filming, time they spent apparently nursing resentments towards their famiglia and amici.
Capiche? Capito. Continue reading “‘The Real Housewives of New Jersey’: Text you like a hurricane”

So. Last we left these women, Kathy had called Teresa’s madre una liar and her padre un coward, and Teresa lashed back that her padre was more of un padre to Kathy than Kathy’s own padre ever was. Continue reading “‘Real Housewives of New Jersey’: Opportunitists”

So, ci crediate or no, we are almost at the end of this, the Teresa v. Caroline season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, and so far there has been a remarkable lack of Kims, Gs or Ds. This, however, will be remedied, as Kim D. — the one who owns the terribly-named Posche boutique — is back to interject herself and her ill-fated fashion show back into the series. The first of Posche’s fashion shows, you might remember, ended in a weave-pulling, cop-calling disastro; and the second ended with Kathy suggesting that Teresa abandoned her children during The Christening. (She sorta did.) And while the Producers want to make it seem like these two fashion show fights were equally dramatic, they were not. But nice try, Producers.
