My objection to Maddie’s casserole would be the pound of cheese melted on top..... and the cheap, disposable foil pan it was cooked in.

This may sound harsh, but, I wish young couples would think long and hard about the consequences of growing their families. Maddie seemed overwhelmed with one kid- perhaps if Axel was so challenging, they could have waited a year or so to focus on him. Like young engaged couples that often focus on the wedding and hoopla, instead of the commitment and relationship, prospective parents may not think thru all the potential challenges involved with another baby. Maddie is not doing Axel any favors by allowing him to misbehave. Publicly branding him as a difficult child is pretty sad. Hopefully they get some counseling on parenting a medically fragile baby.

Kenya is a bad actress. What was that BS she was trying to spin about being married the same amount of time as Kandi?! Clearly she is spin doctoring her “marriage “ storyline. It seems pretty obvious that Kenya and Marc had more of a business agreement than a real relationship. I want to like Kenya, but her shadiness is too much.

Jackie must feel embarrassed and humiliated after being called out at the dinner. Imagine how Buffie felt!! Finally Jackie is exposed as the nasty, unprofessional, petty witch that she is.

Brawny, her weirdo husband, and their spawn are vile. Brawny acts like a Housewives super fan . They remind me of some of those vapid YouTube’rs that turn their lives into a filming opportunity. Poor Brawny takes her cues on aging gracefully from Mama Deb ( the clown).

Grandpa Gorga is in the hospital with pneumonia. Flying to Italy at the beginning of flu season is probably not the best idea for an elderly man in poor health. Teresa must be freaking out. She will blame Joe if anything happens to her Dad.

Caroline Manzo is giving lots of interviews. She recently had a neck lift after losing over 30 pounds. I’m guessing it’s only a matter of time until she is back on RHONJ in some capacity.

Seeing Kenya and Marc together only makes me doubt that their “marriage “ was ever legit. Their energy together is off the chart awkward. Kenya needs some intense psychotherapy- even though she acts like her own biggest fan, she clearly has self esteem issues to be with such a creep like Marc.

Looks like Maddie’s idea of “quality time” is letting Axel watch tv on her lap with his binkie.

Isn’t Tori due this month?

I can’t decide if D’Andra is trying to make Mama Dee the next” new reality star” or to humiliate her and get revenge...... For a recovering addict, D’Andra seems to be boozing it up A LOT. Were D’Andra and Leeanne really good friends before the show, or just acquaintances? Neither one acts loyal or caring about the other. I’m starting to think they are both vapid bitches. They deserve each other.

I was browsing through some of the photos of the Giudice girls in Italy and noticed Joe looks like he may have a contusion on his cheek..... wonder I’d Teresa decked him, or maybe he met up with a real MMA fighter ( Joe aspires to be a fighter) 🤪 Not one single photo of Teresa and Joe by themselves. Stick a fork in it- they are dunzo.

Lee was clearly feeling no pain during that dinner! I am always surprised when they don’t get concerned when someone is ill. One sick crew member could easily turn into a boat full of sick crew and guests. Abbi is an attention whore. A vapid, ignorant, lazy, special snowflake . Good riddance.

Typical Tamra- makes her son’s therapy appointment about her. After finding out how depressed Ryan is Tamra’s response was something along the lines of “ makes me wanna die “...... Eddie cannot be that great of a guy if he chose Tamra for a life partner. I am having a difficult time getting through an entire episode of ANY of the Real Housewives shows without falling asleep- eventually ALL reality shows become less organic, more scripted. 😡

Word is that the entire first episode was scrapped by the production company- due to being utter crap.

I bet Juicy Joe quickly regains all those pounds he lost in jail.

There are plenty of potential reasons to hide a surrogate pregnancy- religious reasons, privacy, storyline, to be different, etc. I find it strange that they didn’t discuss the fact that Bruin was a premie, and spent some time in the NICU. Theoretically the next baby could also be born early. They also never talked about the possibility that the mom could change her mind and keep the baby- something most potential adoptive parents agonize over.

I think the Redmond’s used a surrogate for Bruin, and perhaps had another embryo they implanted this time. The whole adoption never passed the smell test for me, especially when Stephanie talks about it - she’s a terrible liar. I learned all I need to know about LeeAnne from her wedding. What a tacky reception. The situation with her mom was cringeworthy- for both of them. No wonder D’Andra questioned Rich’s fidelity- horndog was checking out chics at his own wedding.

Janelle has fallen onto the nutritional hamster wheel, which isn’t hard to do nowadays. Whole grain, gluten free, vegan, vegetarian, intermittent fasting, low carb, keto, paleo, etc, etc.... Every expert says something different. What is important is to find out what works for you. In my experience, someone like Janelle should be aiming for a diet in lean protein, with plenty of healthy fruits and vegetables, and avoiding wheat based foods. It worked for my husband and I- we lost over 70 pounds between us by cutting wheat out of our diets. Her pendulous abdomen screams inflammation and indicates wheat belly.

A medical degree is a huge investment of both time and money- I have seen many spouses of physicians employed in some way by the practice. ( usually in the office or behind the scenes.) Did Simone get liposuction? She mentioned still being numb when Heavenly was checking out her body. I thought Contessa’s pool looked dirty. Interesting that they have an au pair suite, and not an in law suite. I figured the marital strife between Contessa and Scott was strictly for storyline, but Scott’s reaction was very telling after he swung his kid right into Contessa . Trouble in paradise! The previews shocked me - Unless Buffie gave Jackie explicit permission to speak on her infertility, Jackie is a piece of crap. Being childless herself you’d think Jackie would be more sensitive.

I wonder if Janelle has ever had a proper physical exam with a licensed physician? Based on her symptom complaints it wouldn’t surprise me if she has pre-diabetes and hypothyroidism, as well as leaky gut syndrome. Got a good laugh from Janelle’s comment about having several super sweaty workouts..... ( did she have to get a stepladder to retrieve those special snacks from an upper cupboard? 🤪)

I read that Katherine lost custody of her kids, and Thomas was awarded custody. Katherine’s ex boyfriend testified at the hearing and said some pretty damning things about her parenting ( or lack of). Those poor children.......

Who dunks their infant daughter into a tub of bubbles?!?! 😡

Menopause sucks~ hot flashes can go on for 10 plus years for some women ( going on 6 yrs for me).... The saying “ you are what you eat” is so true. After the age of 50 the body needs far fewer calories, which can be difficult for some people. Aside from some random food sensitivities that I’ve developed, I can maintain my weight by eating almost anything I want- except wheat ( bread, pasta, baked goods, etc). Wheat Belly is alive and well with SO many people.

For the record I agree with Janelle about enjoying the treats of the holiday ~ however, who does she think she is fooling?? Clearly she eats whatever she wants on a daily basis. If she really wanted to lose weight/ get fit she has the financial means and the time to do it. She probably should see a real therapist to treat her depression and find out why she cocoons herself with fat.
