So now we get to witness the fallout of the giant blowout that was Joe and Melissa's son's christening. I'm not sure we will ever find out what the true cause of this problem but I guess we will have to watch it play out.
Halloween in New Jersey - definitely different. Joe dressed as Snooki, an old lady dressed like a kitten, just strange. And of course Kim G is trying to get involved in all the drama.
And way to go Caroline! I love that she stands by her friends. Ms. Jaclyn is hot stuff! And wow Melissa moved around way too much!
Kim G. needs to, in the words of my friend Aly, take her drama to a retirement home.
And I can't believe Kathy. She tries to be everyone's mother but she is totally taking sides. I love that the family comes to back her up. Well, no more Danielle but now we have the Gorga family drama.
Until next time RHONJ fans...

Oh, New Jersey - you never disappoint
I have to say that I have been so anxious to watch the season three opener of RHONJ. Literally (imagine Rachel Zoe here) lit-ter-al-lee dying. But the boyfriend’s been home, quality time, yadda yadda yadda – you know the drill.
So I finally sit down to watch and it definitely does not disappoint. Let’s start with the Battle Italia between Teresa, Joe, her snobby sister-in-law and awful brother. Loyalty people. Loyalty. And can I just say how much I love Teresa with straight hair. What a difference it makes! It’s nice to see them taking everything, the bankruptcy and everything else, so well.
And Caroline – she has lost so much weight! I mean, she looks amazing but I liked her with a little more meat on her bones. Either way – she’s still incredible.
Ok – it’s been two seasons and it’s time for me to admit something. I think I can finally say, without regret, that I have an absolute crush on Albie. He’s gorgeous, comes from a good family, great teeth and great personality. Sure, he has mommy issues but when your mother is Caroline, I don’t blame you for wanting to live at home that long. Besides, he’s Italian – it’s expected that they live at home and have abnormally close relationships with their moms.
So I can’t imagine how Jacqueline’s daughter landed a job with Lizzie Grubman, Hollywood PR guru. I’m sure I could probably connect the dots if I tried, but I won’t. No time to do that as I work my way up the ladder like a normal person. I’m just saying…
But I digress. Really though, who cries in front of their boss like that? Ashley is upset that her mom talked about raising her and working for her money at her job but she’s the one who brought up needing money to move to the city in the first place. I love Jacqueline but her daughter is a major drama queen.
So meeting the new women is interesting. I feel like Melissa is the New Jersey version of Alexis. I’ve joked about wanting to just sit around and be a housewife while my husband works and brings home the “bacon” but these women make it seem like you have to be a slave to your husband in exchange for nice clothes, nice cars and big houses. Um, no thank you.
And Kathy is a strange one. Her grocery store slash cooking experience was just odd. It’ll be interesting to see how things pan out with this whole Teresa/Kathy/Melissa triangle. Nothing good can come out of it, I can tell you that much.
So I thought it was a little petty that Joe G. didn’t go to the church but I think fighting with your family like that is just horrible. You don’t get to choose who you fall in love with and you definitely don’t get to choose their family but you do need to learn how to live with it.
They have a ridiculous amount of family drama. It makes for good TV, though.
So everyone is making it seem that Joe G. is the bad guy here. But all that alcohol mixed with the family drama definitely caused this craziness.
It’s really sad watching this family fall apart. I hope it doesn’t continue like this all season. Watching the women fight with Danielle was entertaining but watching a family fight like this is heartbreaking.
The season still looks incredible though. So until next time…

Back to blondes, bigotry and broke boyfriends
Oh and boobs. Can't forget those. Ok, so I know I haven’t really talked about the blondes of Orange County but after last week, I’m not sure I can help it. I’m so looking forward to watching Alexis crumble. Last week was so pathetic. I mean, how ridiculous is it that she can’t go to a dinner without her husband? Her explanation to Peggy was weak. And like Peggy said, isn’t she a good Christian? Then again, I’m sure God doesn’t approve of paid-in-full boobs the size of Mount Rushmore.
There's dependent and needy and then there's independent and demanding. I feel bad for Vicki’s husband. He seems like he is trying, always, and she doesn’t appreciate it. It seems like a two-way thing but I also feiel like she could be a little less, umm, bitchy. Yes, that’s it. Just the word I was looking for. But I guess we only see what is shown on camera.
As for Tamra, the little lesbian devil, I just think it’s funny. These women are going to get so offended by her and I think it’s great. Can you imagine how Alexis will react? She’ll probably kneel down right then and there and start praying.
I’m still not sure how I feel about Peggy. I have a “love her, love her not” emotional roller-coaster with her. Every other episode I like her. This one is going well so far.
It is really funny that Slade’s mom is accusing him of not having a real job. I wish they would have that conversation in front of Gretchen. It just doesn’t seem like they’re really in love and I don’t understand what is keeping her there. He has no money, he’s not good looking and I just don’t get it. Besides, he is more like Gretchen’s assistant than her boyfriend.
Alexis’ photo shoot is a joke. Actually, her whole dress line is a joke. She is NOT a model. She looks like a complete fool trying to pose. She is beyond full of herself and it’s really sickening to watch. That photo with the black and white dress was so scandalous. And then the blue dress with the sparkles looked like she was getting ready to, well, no need to go into the gory details . Alexis is a massive hypocrite. One minute she’s sticking out her butt for some action and the next minute she’s talking about how God meant for men to be the leaders in the relationship. I’m pretty sure the big man upstairs didn’t write the bible to mean women should be slaves to their husbands.
Well, more California craziness next week. Until then…
