New drinking game. Drink every time Danielle says "social media". We'll all get snookered. If we're going for comatose add every time she does that weird smile and giggle.

Absolutely! But who's drooling over Nicole or Danielle? Now cycling harder on my Handbasket to Hell. Which now has sharp knives cause I'm advocating for Danielle Staub to return to RHNJ. It does make it a more interesting theory though in addition to the hunger for a green card. Azan looked positively Catholic school girl giddy after Nicole went through the security gate compared to his usually emotionless face. BTW - nothing like my old neighbor's reaction when I gave him four box tickets to Cher years ago I got at last minute for my old company's box. That was authentic Catholic school girl giddy (BTW - I was one). I don't generally mind harmless speculation on a board (except for underage children). So (see handbasket), their maybe something to that. It might because I'm from pre-gentifrication Capitol Hill and my first house I bought was in a neighborhood that it was me and mostly gay men moving in, so I heard all the stories sometimes how hard it was for their family to accept. Mostly from American black men (and a couple of black women) due to religion- so I can only imagine how it is for foreign Muslims. BTW - I don't think Mohamed is gay. Just sleazy.

Yay! VP Rules is coming back! Though I have to admit - nothing could likely surpass Season 2.

Maybe I'm mistaken - but I believe the $1M was her "reported" salary for RHNJ for 16+ (?) episodes. I can't believe she'd get $1M for only three episodes of Teresa Checks In (where she only "checked in" via phone). As I said before - I never believed the $1M anyway. Only her and Nene Leake's claimed to be making that much money - the two biggest RH wannabes IMO. Speaking of checking in - this board seems to not be. Come over to 90 Day Fiancé...we're having a rollicking good time in our Handbasket's???.

I thought Jim was rich! Millions of dollars from being a "whistleblower". Hundreds of thousands in chemo? Should be a drop in the bucket! Don't they have insurance anyway? He's a truly awful person. But we knew that before anyway.

Ha! Maybe that's why Azan's family was so excited to meet Nicole! Look Azan is with a girl! A great big, annoying, lazy, non-Muslim girl sure...but still an actual female!

So George is total bullshit. He drives around in a $120K car (leased I assume), has promised Anfisa everything plus the moon and ends up with an $12K engagement ring? He looked like he was going to faint when she first said $18K. What happened to the $50K budget he referred to in the fancy jewelry store he took Anfisa to? I can hardly wait until Sunday when she throws it back in his face.

Is it wrong to think that's awesome? Thanks for taking one for the team and getting back to us. My specialty is Teresa Giudice BTW. I'm not on FB or Twitter. I'm sure I'd get blocked if I was. Too funny that Danielle blocked then unblocked you....as I said previously there's something not quite there mentally...

Thanks! That's what I thought it meant. I've always used it for a reference for actors I know I've seen somewhere else. Didn't know about the comment section!

Yes to loving Cleveland! I'm actually from Long Island, but now Cleveland or Die. My husband's family is from there (and most are stil there). He lived there (Rocky River) until he was 11, but has always considers himself a Clevelander! He literally spent his other younger years (Tallahassee - cause his father was a political appointee to Bob Graham) making attennas on his radio to get the Cavs, Indians and Browns games. As you can suspect - he's a little depressed today. Surprisingly - I am too. Sorry if off topic.

I think you're right. The Caroline/Jaq slapping incident was before the RHNJ ever happened. Hell (see Handbasket - when it still had flowers) - I can see me slapping self-righteous Caroline too. I think both Chris and Jaq appeared on Manzo'd With Children? Never watched - but Vicki from the NJ Star Ledger thought Chris was the funniest thing on the show. I can see that. Also see I'm an unfortunate Juicy fan... I won't get into Teresa likely fueling the unsubstantiated rumors Melissa was a stripper.

Just curious - what's IMDB? I was trained on TWoP about non-acceptable civil discourse. Great tutors! That's also why this is really the only forum I post on.

I agree! I don't think they'll cancel the show. But I always thought it was a joke the salary Teresa claimed she was making. The indictment said she was getting paid $120K for Season 2 (fraudulent BK docs they filed had the $40K from Season 1). So I always found the $1M hard to believe. IDK - her salary depends on ratings - hence bringing back Danielle for a potential boost. I'll be curious to see what happens re ratings if they do bring Danielle back. I don't think they'll get rid of Jaq. Ratings were highest this season when she went nutters.

Well - she hasn' been bringing the ratings. RHNJ is like the 10th highest rated cable show on Sunday night now. IMO - that's why she's sucking up to crazy Danielle Staub (aka Beverly Merrill?). I'm an awful person cause I'd love to see Danielle back. I stopped watching (even DVR and On Demand) four episodes ago. I tell myself it's OK cause Danielle needs the money. My handbasket to Hell is no longer decorated with flowers and ribbons, it's now sharp knives that may likely stick me in the eye.

I agree - but can I add Teresa Giudice to the list before?

Can't wait to see this weeks episode! It's incredible to me that in a situation where Mohamed more than likely used her for a green card he actually gets sympathy (including me unfortunately!). After the last episode though - I do feel some sympathy for Danielle. There's something not quite right there mentally (beyond the weird narcissism factor). Also, I don't believe that TLC (aka "soulless") isn't egging her on in some way (no Danielle - you should totally keep stalking him - he might change his mind!). I know there's debate whether or not she can get an annulment at this point. I still say not. "Reality" TV is definitely somewhat scripted, but she continues not to help her case. IMO if Mohamed gets a somewhat decent lawyer - she's said publicly numerous times it was a "marriage" (even if in her own mind), and has threatened to get him deported as a means of getting him back. That helps his case that he came to this country with the best intentions (not) and she ended up chasing him away with all her crazy drama.

Nope - no career yet. I think she's naturally beautiful (unlike Anfisa), but there's a lot of "hopeful" models like her in Miami. I actually think she'd have better luck in Oklahoma, where she probably stands out more. I thought it was funny how she said she felt too sexy to be a "Mom" model. My husband and I keep referring to Tony's girlfriend Irina in the Sopranos. "They said I was too old - could maybe do salad spinner". My husband is very good at imitations (even young Russian females) - so it cracks me up every time. He polishes it off with Tony's "oh shit" reply.

Including legal fees- how much does it cost all in to get a K-1 Visa? Don't you have to be able to prove you have the income to support the fiancé for a certain time period as well? Is Nicole planning on going to the parental well to get Azan over? I assume her family has watched the show - they'd be crazy or just ridiculously indulgent to go along with this. They must now know how immature she is, even if they refused to admit it before. Speaking of - how did Chantal get Pedro over? Isn't she a student with a part-time job? Me thinks even more now that the parental drama is an act. Apparently crazy stalker Danielle actually had an outside party that agreed to sponsor Mohamed.

Not so sure she's living the public assistance "dream". I live in DC and the first house I bought was in a relatively "bad" neighborhood (it's now in one of the "hottest" areas of DC). Maybe Bradenton is different and Section 8 can take you a long way. But generally you're either living in public housing or in a bad neighborhood. She doesn't seem to be in either. It's harder to qualify for food stamps and other assistance than you think and it's not that much. I know this cause one of my best friends (former neighbor) is now stuck raising two of her grandchildren and struggles every day - despite my and her son's (none are baby daddy) monetary assistance (plus public) and lucky enough that she owns her house (willed from her grandmother - but RE taxes are high based on it now being assessed at $700K - even though it's basically falling apart).

Yes - up there with best quotes ever!!????

So is it wrong to have zero sympathy for Danielle? She could have found a perfectly suitable guy for her in Norwalk. My MIL and her family actually grew up in a nearby town (some are apparently still there!). Meaning her age, physical and financial similarities. I agree with previous posters that there's some sort of narcissism (and self-delusion) that she's looking for a younger, "hot" guy to fulfill her "needs". See Mohamed and now Gabe. Mohamed is a total green card scamming ass (and none too bright to not at least mollify her a bit for his own interests re previews), but I'm kinda (gasp) hoping he doesn't eventually get deported just to get her goat and maybe teach her a lesson about not being "boy toy" stupid in the future.

This is my question. I seem to remember Nicole proudly stating "she lives on her own" in the first episode. I think it's also been established that she's a barista at a local Starbucks. Assuming no college degree? She's never mentioned as currently pursuing more education as well either? She's also a single mother courtesy of her last "Internet Love of Her Life" who apparently dumped her shortly after she went to Texas to "live happily ever after". So who's paying her rent, child care and funded her five-week trip to Morocco? Starbucks doesn't cover that. Her parents? They must be out of their minds. Are they fondly anticipating another child to support?No wonder she acts as entitled as she does. She's got the attitude but not the goods (intellectually, physically or financially) so to speak. Speaking of attitude with not quite the goods (way more than Nicole though) Anfisa still makes me howl (still needs to avoid the profile shots). Does George (since they apparently don't know how Jorge is pronounced) think that by constantly addressing her as "my love" he's going to make that happen? IMO he's a mysonigystic schlub that gets everything that's coming to him.

If it's not a weave - it's at least extensions. No judgement here - I love my white girl weaves. Wore them for years! I'm actually thinking she maybe does relaxers and extensions. Not cheap! She is a beautiful girl though, IMO she doesn't need them.

As I pointed out to my husband, between the chin and the nose (not that mine's great - but never assumed I could model) - she needs to be careful of side profile shots.

My husband has a love-hate relationship with TLC. He loves me but hates me (and himself) for getting him to watch and look forward to these crappy shows. He calls it "TLC - Putting the L in Exploitation". Proud to say off Real Housewives for good (I'll never desert Vanderpump Rules though)! Still can't quit 90-Day, Toddlers & Tiaras and occasional 600-lb Life - so I guess that still makes us not very nice people who enjoy making fun of nitwits on reality TV shows.
