Tonight’s episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey has my blood boiling. The drama continues and like many, I’m just over it. It’s sad to watch and I’m embarrassed that the families are allowing this to happen on TV! Tonight’s episode begins with Kathy baking in her new kitchen that Richie rent out for her. Jacqueline and Caroline stop by and are taken back by the location and appearance of the building. Not surprised that Richie would find the shadiest place to rent out for Kathy. Rosie comes by as well and explains her talk with Teresa to the ladies and tells them about the retreat inviting them to come. Jacqueline isn’t down for it and insists she does not want to be in drama. I’m taken back by this considering she’s on a show surrounded by drama!
Joe Gorga and Richard Wakile are out golfing and I’m confused. Why do the men continue to get scenes? I thought this show was called, ‘The Real HouseWIVES.” Teresa then calls Joe as he’s golfing with Richie to invite him to the retreat because she wants to work on their relationship. Joe is being an ass hole as usual on the phone. I’m sorry but if I was Teresa and my brother said the things he did at a public gym and didn’t apologize. He would never receive a call from me..ever! Joe says he will get back to Teresa about the retreat pointing out that he has to speak to his “other half” about it. Really, Joe? Grow some balls. Joe then says in his interview, “when I’m fUsterated with my sister, I usually have sex with my wife.” I’m so sickened by this comment. It’s sad that we continue to see Teresa reach out to Joe while he has yet to genuinely reach out to her.
Melissa Gorga is having lunch with her two “best friends” who she says she barely gets to see because she’s married and has kids now. Melissa is telling them about her book and how she has the perfect marriage. Her friends don’t seem to be interested and are actually rolling their eyes. Melissa then laughs as her friends say Teresa is jealous of her and Melissa points out how Teresa congratulated her about her book. Melissa is annoyed that Teresa is congratulating her which doesn’t make sense. If Teresa didn’t congratulate her, Melissa would be pissed and run to her husband complaining that Teresa didn’t congratulate her. Teresa will never win. She’s damned if she does and damned if she doesn’t! Melissa then says she hopes Teresa reads her book because she needs the advice. Another burn and I am even more disgusted with Melissa then I was before. (Didn’t think that was possible)
Kathy and Jacqueline are shopping when Teresa calls Kathy to invite her to this retreat. Kathy puts the phone on speaker allowing Jacqueline to hear everything. Kathy brings up Jac’s name knowing Teresa will probably have stuff to say since they hate each other. Teresa blames Jacqueline for a lot of things specifically accusing her of being the one who set up Melissa at the Posche Fashion Show. That’s when Jac grabs Teresa’s phone and does what she does best..act crazy. Jac claims she is over Teresa but it’s obvious watching the scene that she is not and I think Kathy was beginning to sense that. Still, Kathy should have known better than to have her phone on speaker.
Teresa is out for dinner with Kim D, Penny, Jennifer and Melissa’s supposed best friend Jan! This was jaw dropping to watch only because we just saw how Melissa said Jan walked in her wedding. Jan reveals that she is not close with Melissa because Melissa changed and accuses Melissa of cheating on Joe! Teresa says nothing and says that she doesn’t want to be involved. If I heard my brother’s wife was cheating on him from her own best friend, I’m going to ask all the questions in the world but Teresa didn’t.
Albert and Caroline are out for dinner and well, it’s just sad to watch. It’s actually kind of hard to believe they are still together. Albert is very cold towards Caroline and she just kind of takes it. Caroline tries to explain to Albert that she rented an apartment to help their marriage and so they have somewhere to get away but Albert calls her out and mentions how the apartment has a room for Lauren. The whole apartment thing doesn’t make much sense and I understand why Albert is questioning his wife. Still, he was being an ass hole and it was awkward at times. Funny that people thought only Joe Giudice was an ass hole!
Jennifer who is Teresa’s friend asks Melissa to meet up for some lunch. Jennifer and Melissa aren’t friends and Melissa doesn’t care too much for Jennifer because Jennifer said her house would not sell which by the way, it hasn’t. Jennifer decides to meet with Melissa to tell her about the dinner she had with Kim D, Teresa, Penny, and Melissa’s apparent best friend Jan. Jennifer tells her and Melissa is shocked. Melissa finds out that Jan said she was cheating on Joe and some how blames Teresa for it questioning why Teresa wasn’t defending her. Really, Melissa? What do you want her to do? You both don’t even like each other and you laughed as your “friends” called her jealous! I’m starting to get sick of Melissa playing a victim and don’t really know why Jennifer reported what happened back to Melissa when they aren’t even friends!
Melissa and Joe Gorga later meet up with the gang at a restaurant when Melissa tells everyone what Jennifer told her. Jacqueline starts bashing Teresa as usual and Kim D so happens to be at the same place that they are at so Richie invites her over. It’s obvious Kim D is in the middle of all the drama yet everyone continues to be nice to her which doesn’t really make any sense? Melissa continues to play the victim to everyone and proves to Kim D that her marriage is just fine by kissing Joe and showing some PDA. Just because you show off some PDA does not mean you aren’t’ cheating on your husband? That proves absolutely nothing. The sad thing is Joe automatically blames it on Teresa Giudice saying his sister put Kim D up to this. Kim D is over it and leaves and Melissa tries to show that she has the perfect marriage by kissing her hubby in front of everyone, again. Melissa wants everyone to know that she has the perfect marriage because she’s a slut in bed and does whatever Joe says. I think it’s sickening and embarrassing that Melissa is making a book out of telling people that being a slut with your husband can make a successful marriage. In fact, that couldn’t be further from the truth. Take Brandi Glanville for example. She wrote in her book that she did everything to please her man including bringing other people while they have sex and he still left and cheated on her! Melissa sounds like a moron and I’m afraid to see what her children will think of her when they watch this.
Jennifer meets up with Teresa to inform Teresa that she did go back and tell Melissa everything that was said at the dinner. Teresa is obviously taken back and Jennifer explains that she is looking out for herself and wants the listing in Melissa’s home. What I found funny was why would Jennifer want the listing when she bashed the home? I think Jennifer just wanted some air time and that is why she went back to Melissa who again, she is not friends with.
Next weeks episode looks even more intense as Joe Gorga attacks Joe Giudice after Giudice demands he apologize to his sister for calling her scum….thoughts on tonight’s episode? Let’s Discuss!
Can you imagine life without our gals of the Real Housewives? Well, it’s inevitable that one day that will be OUR reality. Like the saying goes, “all good things must come to an end!”
Reality TV series are not perpetual and Real Housewives is no exception. Since 2006, we have had Real Housewives of Orange County for our viewing pleasure, followed by franchises in New York City, Atlanta, New Jersey, Washington D.C., Beverly Hills, and Miami. How much longer will the shows be around? Nobody knows for sure, but the general assumption is that it is on its way out.
A source close to the Bravo network tells us that the shows will most likely start fizzling out in the near future. “The Real Housewives probably has no more than two to three years left in it, and Bravo executives including Andy [Cohen], will agree with that,” says our source.
Although the newest franchises are only about three years old, we are starting to see an overlap in story lines from franchise to franchise. “Stories we have seen in previous seasons are starting to overlap from city to city, and viewers will get bored with that,” shares our source. “It’s all becoming the same thing.”
It’s no doubt that after a few years, things will become repetitive with women no matter what city we are talking about. The Real Housewives franchise has become a huge phenomenon and since 2006 has been doing well, but historically, hugely popular reality shows like The Hills, Jersey Shore, and The Osbournes, are only on air for no more than four years, so ‘Real Housewives’ has done exceptionally well by that standard!
“Bravo is aware that the Real Housewives won’t be around much longer,” adds the source. We are told that Bravo is exploring new programming and targeting a younger audience which is why they have shows with younger characters such as Below Deck, Vanderpump Rules, and Princesses: Long Island (their next major franchise venture) in their newest programming.
With the ratings declining for even RHONJ’s new season (one of the highest rated franchises), and some of the feedback we see on blogs and social media, I think this is pretty spot-on.
Do you think Real Housewives will stick around even longer than that? Which franchise of the current list do you think would be the first to get the ax?
We learned that Real Housewives of Miami season three would be missing three full-time cast members, which included Marysol Patton being moved to a recurring role of “friend of the Housewives”, but why was she the one to step down?
A source tells AllAboutTRH exclusively that Bravo needed less Housewives for RHOM’s third season, in an attempt to engage viewers with less storylines to follow! Karent was not asked back, and Marysol was the one who was “demoted” initially.
Our source shares that it was a hard decision for producers to make, and that it was not even about Marysol directly. “Mama Elsa became very sick and had serious health problems requiring surgery. Elsa and Marysol make a great TV dynamic duo and without Elsa able to film, producers decided to keep her [Marysol], but in a recurring role,” our source tells us.
“Marysol loves doing the show, and she is happy to still be a part of the show in any capacity. They all get paid the same anyway! You will still get to see her interact with Elsa, as well as try to get back into dating,” adds the source.
I love Marysol but I think last season was too hard for her with Lea attempting to trash her business reputation. I think this will be great for Marysol in the long run! Plus, Mama Elsa’s health is more important than pleasing us viewers. 😛
Will you miss Marysol being shown as a full-time cast member this season?
In this sneak peek footage from Sunday’s episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, Teresa Giudice reaches out to Kathy Wakile and blames Jacqueline for the drama with her brother Joe. AllAboutTRH was first to tell you what was going to happen in this RHONJ spoiler a few months ago but now you could see visually how Jacqueline reacted to Teresa blaming her below!. I don’t understand why Kathy is putting her conversation with Teresa on speaker for Jacqueline to even hear? When Teresa called Caroline last week, Caroline went into another room without anyone to speak to Teresa. I don’t think I’d be very pleased with my cousin putting the phone on speaker when I’m trying to mend things. Teresa Giudice blamed Jacqueline for the drama with her brother Joe because she believed that Jacqueline had played a role in instigating the conflict between them.
It is unclear why Kathy put her conversation with Teresa on speaker for Jacqueline to hear. However, it can be assumed that Kathy may have wanted Jacqueline to be aware of the conversation and possibly mediate the situation.
Whether Jacqueline was overreacting or not is subjective and open to interpretation. However, based on the given content, it can be inferred that Jacqueline may have felt uncomfortable or displeased with Kathy putting the phone on speaker while she was trying to mend things with Teresa.
Tons of drama has been happening regarding Gretchen Rossi and her former BFF Tamra Barney. Gretchen Rossi has said she’s feel played by Tamra while Tamra was upset that Gretchen lied to her. Whatever it is one things for sure and it’s that the friendship is o-v-e-r. Tamra is now saying that Gretchen is the one who hates everyone! When a viewer tweeted Tamra saying, “Did you befriend Gretchen to alienate her from the group? #RHOC” Tamra responded, “What? I have done nothing to her. She’s the one who hates everyone. She’s doing it to herself.” Somehow somewhere I have a feeling Alexis Bellino is laughing as this all unfolds.. Tons of drama has been happening between Gretchen Rossi and Tamra Barney. Gretchen has expressed feeling played by Tamra, while Tamra was upset about Gretchen lying to her. This has ultimately led to the end of their friendship.
In response to a viewer’s tweet asking if Tamra befriended Gretchen to alienate her from the group, Tamra denied any wrongdoing and claimed that Gretchen is the one who hates everyone. According to Tamra, Gretchen is responsible for her own negative experiences.
Although not directly involved in the drama between Gretchen and Tamra, it is suggested that Alexis Bellino may find amusement in the unfolding events. The mention of Alexis implies that she may be observing the situation from a distance and finding humor in the situation.
We have yet to meet her but Joyce Giraud has been rumored to be the newest Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Joyce has been seen taping with all the ladies and was recently supporting Kyle Richards at her fundraising benefit.
The new housewife opened up about herself revealing she is a mother telling Too Fab that she has two boys Valentino, 2, and Leonardo, 3.
Joyce also opened up about being bullied for being too skinny! She says, “I was very skinny and very lanky and kind of awkward. In Puerto Rico everybody is a little more voluptuous, with these beautiful bodies and there I was the skinny lanky girl. So they called me Olive Oil from Popeye, they said my body was the spaghetti and my head was the meatball.”
Because Joyce was bullied, she became involved with The Friend Movement and is a huge anti-bullying advocate.
FYI Joyce is a Puerto Rican actress and model. She is a two time Miss Puerto Rico and the second runner up in the 1998 Miss Universe pageant. She had previously represented Puerto Rico at Miss World 1994. More photos of Joyce and her family below!
Joyce is obviously very stunning and I actually am excited to see her on the show. She looks like she’s going to add some spice. Who do you think she’ll be friends with on the season? How do you think the ladies will react to her?
In this sneak peek footage from Monday’s episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County, Heather Dubrow puts Gretchen Rossi on blast regarding the acting gig she told Tamra she missed to go to her dress fitting and things get awkward. Check it out for yourself below!
Gretchen claims she is not lying and Alexis then reveals she too got a call to make a guest appearance on the show and that just ticks Heather off even more. Do you think Heather was overreacting?
Taking a break from blogging today to celebrate the Fourth of July! Wishing everyone a happy and safe fourth of July! I’ll be spending it with the family. Hope you enjoy yourself with your family and friends! Cheers and have a lovely day 🙂

In this sneak peek footage from Sunday’s episode, Teresa Giudice’s dad finally comes home from the hospital. Teresa explains just how close she is with her father and slams her brother for being disrespectful to their parents!
Favorite part. Teresa telling Joe that Gia is 12 and going through puberty in which Milania responds, “that means she’s having a baby!” LOL can’t get enough of Milania. It was so beautiful seeing the girls get so excited to see their grandpa. I don’t understand how Joe is okay with allowing things to be the way they are especially when he knows his parents disapprove
