    S06.E13: Sorry Not Sorry

    in The Real Housewives Of New Jersey

    · Edited by TattleTeeny

    There's a big difference between passing on that someone went to ComicCon, and passing on that someone's husband had sex with his wife's mother.

     

    Oh, I agree, however, that's not the point I was making. The example doesn't matter. 

     

    That said, I definitely would pick and choose carefully who I confided in and about what, not because I don't trust my friends (or think they'd wrongly accuse me of rumor-mongering) but because I know which ones would react in what way to certain things. I know who would want to know something and who would not. Unlike Dina.

    Re-telling of story is a rumor unless you personally heard or saw the act.  Victoria Gotti's telling about Rino's alleged comment is one thing.  The content of the re-telling of her alleged conversation with Rino is the rumor (Santa and Rino banging).

     

    Disagree. While the story itself may indeed be false, that Person A told Person B (you...but not, you know, YOU you; just the general YOU) said story is true (provided that one is not lying that Person A said this, of course). For example, my boss just told me that he went to Comic Con last weekend. I did not see him do so, but if I told a coworker that he said that he went, I am not spreading a rumor.

     

    My sister recently did something horrible that affected me, and I found out before she came clean about it (and she only did that because she knew I knew). I told a close friend what she did, and even what she said to me after I learned about it. This friend (who is also her friend, but not on the same level he is mine) called her out on some semi-unrelated shit. My sister correctly inferred that my friend only did so because he had heard about, and was pissed about, the original nonsense. She then told me it was inappropriate to talk about her life to my friends. And this long, convoluted story is just to illustrate that I think it's a similar situation to our discussion here. I was not out of line to tell my friend about "her" life, as it was not a rumor-spreading or gossip and, most important, it most certainly did pertain to my life. Sharing it with a friend who shares his life with me is not the same as spreading rumors.

    I guess I just don't consider saying that someone told you that such-and-such happened to be spreading a rumor. Someone did tell her that, and that's what she said. It's, to me, vastly different than saying, "Hey, you guys, guess what happened! Rino banged Santa all the hell over the place!"

     

    I actually don't really care about any of these people talking about these things, and I wouldn't much care about it in real life either. Of course, I'd tell someone to shut up if he or she were saying nasty shit as if it were a fact about someone to whom I was loyal (and who was loyal to me). But I'd also probably tell my BF or a friend about the conversation (and maybe even the person who is the topic of the scandal, if I thought that person would be better off knowing), and that's what I don't consider "spreading a rumor." Of course, though, I am not on TV (not that I believe that even matters here; they all are, and they all know that mutual hugs and affirmations are not going to keep them there).

    ...How soon we forget every Posche Fashion show since Season Two...wait...they were for charity weren't they...

     

    ...or that Brownstone charity dinner where Danielle brought her Hell's Angels friends...wasn't that the same dinner where Danielle's goomba called Chris...can't even think about it it's vulgar...

    Oh, she didn't forget; she said "no one in their right mind," and that term does not apply to these people.

     

    How many times did Teresa say "me" or "my" while talking to Dina about the rumor and Teressa's feeling being hurt?  Teresa Giudice doesn't get it.  It is not about her be responsible for every bombshell it is about being responsible for spreading the rumor.  Telling Dina on camera is spreading it.  Melissa was right-sometimes you just apologize.

     

    If that's the case, then Dina better get to apologizing too. She'd just had a conversation in which she was told that these twins (or one of them, rather) did not want to hear about this type of shit. She also was asked by Teresa to keep her mouth shut about it. She also witnessed the shit-show over Amber repeating something she'd heard to Melissa. What on earth made Dina think she was doing anything different?

     

    Teresa could have acknowledged that the Victoria Gotti conversation hurt the twins' family.  Since Teresa is incapable of an apology -she could have called them and let them in on it after it happened.  It was on film-it is not as if it was a private conversation.  I don't think twin Teresa should have made the first gesture.

     

    Maybe she did (she tried to flee from the conversation about Melissa stripping when she was in the run-down salon that time). Maybe Amber did too. That whole scene was dumb anyway; they drive all the way to a second location, sit down for wine without ever removing their coats, and have a no-backstory conversation that lasts 30 seconds (not to mention the Amber leaving separately part)?

    Wait, what? You must have the most incompetent Sonic staff ever at that location. I think I've only ever waited more than 5 minutes on one occasion, and that was because the kitchen accidentally lost my order.

     (That said I think they make some of the blandest burgers in the world, but down South they have a sterling reputation for cleanliness and a lot of neat lime-ade flavors.)

    It's crazy, right? I was like, "Is it me? Is it you [to my BF]? Why is this happening again?" I wanted to like it because (and call me nuts),  I like the style and aesthetic of the place, and it seems kind of fun to go there on a nice day and eat bad-for-you things!

    Quotable Quotes: Lines from TV You've Made Your Own

    in Everything Else TV

    · Edited by TattleTeeny

    In lieu of "so there" or something: "That'll put marzipan in your pie-plate, Bingo!" -- RoboBuffy

     

    When one of the cats is being bad: "He's not a criminal mastermind; he's just a kid with nothin' and nowhere to go!" -- Sandy Cohen, The OC
     

    Usually when my BF says something that makes no sense: "This is where the fish lives." -- Melissa Strickland, MST3K: A Touch of Satan (also from that episode, "Zah!" followed by, "I've said 'Zah' in better places than this.").

    If someone says "asshole," my BF will say, "A what?!" It's from one of George Carlin's standup shows from way back when. One of those things that is hard to explain why it's funny but just is ("He's an asshole!" "A WHAT?!" "An asshole!").

    Also, "Chung chung!" (that Law & Order sound) if something dramatic (or even just stupid) happens.

    "And I want to thank you, Ray Don…" Usually used during some impassioned speech about a minor annoyance.

     

    "Stay out of it, Nick Lachey." 

     

    And this is not a saying, really but a gesture that my BF and I do if the other says "obtuse":

    If I ever go back to Sonic, you can call me stupid. For some reason, when the first (only?) one showed up around here (North Jersey), everyone was all excited about it. In all the times I've gone there (three maybe?), I have never gotten my food in less than 45 minutes. And the chocolate-jalapeño shake was nothing special.

    A belief that Korina is a douche isn't an assertion that's she's the only douche. I believe that editing and production interference can--or attempt to--change viewers' perceptions of what happens. I also believe that my own eyes saw that girl act like an entitled bitch as well. That doesn't mean that I blindly assume she was the only one to have done so, or that she may not have had unseen-by-me reasons for doing so. Just that what I did see was Korina being a douche.

    The "nose-blind" commercials for Febreze--there's one about cooking smells and it is so stupid! It say something about how you think the kitchen smells normal but all your guests think it reeks like a fish market. OK, well, if these guests are coming to your house and you are cooking fish, presumably the guests are coming to dinner, where they will eat what you've cooked, no? So you're serving something that offends your guests' noses…or your guests are rude assholes (who also don't understand fish, or how cooking works)?

     

    There's one for some feminine-problem remedy. I hate it because the lady in is says something like, "…the itch and pain of feminine itch." Why say "itch" twice? Yes, an itch is indeed itchy.

    Not only that, it was the best thing they've ever seen on the show.  Really?

     

    And this is why they should use the 90-minute format thoughtfully! Show me why you think this thing is so fucking fabulous, man! Because best ever on 632 years of this show? I mean, we all have different tastes and all, but my first thought was "Better than Seth Aaron?! Bah!" And WHY--show me why!

    Oh, but see.... that's the THING! It starts out ALL WHITE, but as you walk down the street a taxi drives by and swerves into a mud puddle and splatters you and suddenly you have this BROWN COLOR splayed all over your outfit, and then it's NOT WHITE anymore and...and.... oh wait... :(

     

    Plenty of people in NYC wear white with little trouble. It's "streetwear," not "lie down in the street-wear."

     

    That said, I thought that shit was the ugliest outfit I possibly have ever seen in this show. Why all the asymmetrical hanging bits? Too much going on and also just horrid.

     

    Nobody in NYC would wear hat. But nobody. She does not deserve to go to fashion week. At all. Even her answer sucked.

     

    Oh, please--it's not like NY is devoid of people who are "unfashionable." Sure, it's an epicenter of fashion but that's only one facet involving a tiny subset of its inhabitants. It's also home to all sorts of people with all sorts of styles, good, bad, and otherwise. There are millions of people (which makes it impossible to say that "nobody…but nobody" would do any one thing) in that city, and not even close to all of them care about clothing, much less care about couture--that's why there are Old Navys and Forever 21s in Manhattan as well as anywhere else.

    Druscilla, Oz, and Spike are the only characters on Buffy that I found even remotely engaging and funny in that order. I don't really like the show but I did sit through it all eventually to see what all the fuss was about.

     

    I like Giles somewhat but that is probably more because of my crush on Anthony Head.

     

    I'll see myself out.

    I love Spike now and forever and I don't care! Also (and I've said it here before), seasons 6 and 7 of Buffy are my favorite ones, and I say that as someone who watched the show from the premiere episode.

    The L'oreal Manga ad makes me want to punch kittens. And the fake accent is totally offensive. http://www.ispot.tv/ad/7ykH/loreal-paris-miss-manga-mascara

    UGH! "More ah-pehnnn!"

     

    Especially since she is obviously wearing false eyelashes too.

     

    I don't use that brand (animal testing) but I did think her lashes looked good and real; mine look about the same with mascara on them and I am completely incapable of affixing false lashes. That shit is not easy, man--especially for a makeup doofus like me.

     

    ETA: I looked again and, yes, I definitely see clumpiness in the bottom lashes (which I don't do on myself--too much mess potential). The top still looks OK to me though.

    There is a house out in the back of their property...was wondering if that's where they lived.

     

    There is? I've never seen one in my stalking, not that I can do much more than drive past or peer through the gate (just twice, I swear)--which pretty much gives me basically the same view as the show's establishing shots anyway. There is a small house next door, but that's someone else's.

     

    Edit: Oy, never mind; I see that someone else answered.

    WTF does that even mean, assuming its translated into English? Did the moron think it was a possible death sentence?

     

    I agree that it's clunky as a sentence, and certainly doesn't convey much in this context, but it's not actually incorrect in terms of grammar or syntax.

     

    I'm sure Andy is shaking with anticipation over the ratings bonanza of WWHL.  I don't usually watch, but I just set my dvr for it.

     

    I don't usually watch it either, and I didn't think of this…though, oddly, my BF did set the DVR.

    Joe was sentenced to 41 months on four counts, plus 12 months on an additional count, to be served concurrently. He'll also get two years probation and will have to pay $414,000 to Wells Fargo bank, plus $10,000 in fines. He will be able to surrender himself.

     

    If Teresa is also sentenced to prison, she will first serve her term, then her husband will serve his. The judge said that immigration services will not act on Joe's deportation case until after his sentence is served, and she recommended that he participate in an alcohol program.

     

    This is from People.com, so who knows how accurate all of it is...
