How old are June's oldest girls? Because the convicted pedophile is reported to have molested "an [unnamed] relative" of June 10 years ago, when the child was 8 years old. Does June have an 18 year old daughter now?TLC can couch its decision to cancel in altruistic terms, but the network is just covering its ass. I don't care, just glad they canceled. So June doesn't care that she's allowing this convicted monster to be around Honey Boo? Cause she needs a booty call? I really can't adequately describe my reactions to this so-called mother.

If Joe is deported, I just cannot see Teresa following him to Italy. Her girls are American through and through. Do they even speak Italian? They have their friends and their routines here, all of their extracurriculars. Plus by the time Joe gets deported, you'll have teens and pre-teens in the mix. How awful for them. However, if Teresa shocks me and actually drags her kids to Italy, I hereby predict that Milania Guidice will be on the fast track to become the first female Vito Corleone. That kid scares me!

God, that routine sounds truly terrible to me, and I'm an adaptable, easygoing person. Teresa will have a very hard time with the regimentation, ESPECIALLY answering to "the boss!" I don't think Teresa has answered to anybody in her entire life.Question: does anyone know if more time could be tacked on to Teresa's sentence if she is a chronic rulebreaker while imprisoned? I know that repercussions are swift in the prison system, but is it the same SOP in camps?

Watching series premiere of Tamar and Vince on WeTV. Commercial for new season of Celebrity Marriage Boot Camp. Aviva and husband will appear.

Is this old news? Jason is going to court to prevent Bethenny from exploiting Bryn on the show: http://radaronline.com/exclusives/2014/10/jason-hoppy-bethenny-frankel-court-bryn-show/

Gosh! If that's really her responding as Dani, Danielle has some real problems, in my opinion.I somehow missed last night that she has a 21 year old son, in addition to her three teen girls. So her fiancee is only 5 years older than her boy? During Danielle's THs and other scenes from her home, I thought the decor looked colorful and cheerful, though the size of the place seemed claustrophobic to me (from what I could make out). Then, in the scene when the family departed the house for the drive to the airport, the brief glimpse of the exterior that I caught did make the house look very small. So now I'm wondering about sleeping and living arrangements, as they affect the teens. What are they exposed to, what do they see or hear regarding Mother and fiance? The whole situation is making me mad. The body language by both Danielle and Mohamed in that official TLC photo says it all to me.

This guy got five women to marry him?! And he didn't need to trek to Russia or the Phillipines to do it? Unfrigginbelievable.

I think Brett said his roommates are his coworkers? The women struck me as a couple, and since Brett said he was new to Washington state, I could see the coworkers taking pity on him and offering their extra room. But I'm not sure why he gravitated to another granny as his best friend. I do agree that Brett s mom looked more like an older sister. Maybe she was a teen mom, and now Brett is on an eternal mission to find his idealized version of an older mom, complete with white hair. Ha! But then he chooses a bitchy, entitled woman to hook up with? That makes no sense. She complained about the flowers, ordered him to to get her bags and told him to stop "that laughing!" The laugh IS a deal breaker, but she heard it before, no? I love the preview with his little daughter giving fiancee a hard time. Actually, the fiancee and the daughter are a match made in heaven! Danielle' s Mohammed is very good looking, with a good body. No way, no how is he interested in her. To me, she looks even older than 41, not to mention her weight and general frumpiness. I feel terrible for her girls! God, what a role model. I'm looking forward to the couple next week with the 38 year old groom and volatile fiancee. Whoa. She's a whole bucketful of anger and fury. Tonight I caught up with last season, and I can't stand how all the men say, "well, she gave up everything for me, so I want to make her happy (etc)...." Nobody is holding a gun to the women's (and now, the man's) heads, are they? It's not like the foreign nationals were drafted and had no choice. Come, don't come. They're making tradeoffs, sure. But don't act as though coming to America is a noble sacrifice that must be appeased.

Alex Baldwin? Hugh Hefner Jr? James Bond? OMG. People need their eyes and IQs checked stat! Plus, he's a creep. Danielle is a mess. I hope she's prepared for a huge disappointment. But, in the meantime, please God keep her teen daughters safe. To invite a 26 year old male stranger into your home, when you have vulnerable teen girls there is, to me, the height of lunacy, bordering on neglect. Wtf? Where is her head! Yeah, I know where it is. Nicaraguan Justin Bieber seems like a nice guy, but this couple is not using its common sense at all. Guy with old lady roommates/partners is strange. He has that sheltered, otherworldly look. Like the Heavens Gate cult that committed suicide, with their identical haircuts and clothes. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-l3hlFMrB4PQ/TcPCo-5BGPI/AAAAAAAAMgw/Qcyw2cEB5oI/s1600/Heaven%2527s%2BGate%2B-%2BThe%2BDefinitive%2BStory%2B%25282007%25293.jpg

If I were in Teresa's position, knowing that I had an "expiration date" of Jan 5, 2015, AND knowing that my husband is NOT reliable, I would be busy making timelines and calendars and arrangements for my children. Getting to school daily. Doctors and dental appts, spiritual counseling, Mass/Communion/Confirmation/Confession schedules. Gymnastics, ballet, sports, cheer, tutoring, etc. Regular studies and homework, science fair projects, dioramas and book reports. Who can help? Who can be there? Prepare a list of names, phones and addresses of a support network for her kids. Talk to friends, relatives, parents of classmates, even school personnel, who would be willing to be added to such a list. Wherever possible, if family or close friends can step up, great. But I think Teresa should start interviewing NOW for a hs senior or college girl, or two, with a valid drivers license to be a permanent, 15 month au pair. The Guidice girls will need a constancy and security. I would NOT rely on Joe at all. If he can occasionally offer a hug or kiss, that's lovely. But relying on him for day to day would be a mistake, imo. So if it's true, as she says often, that Teresa right now can think ONLY of her daughters, she should put her money where her mouth is, and get cracking with calendars and schedules, surrogates and chaperones.

I have come to hate ANY case involving dogs or cats! I hereby petition TPTB to test, follow up, then test again in six months ANYbody who wants to own a pet. Too much misery and insensitivity for me. Wednesday, 10/15/14: the 28 year old son suing his dad for destroying his fish tank and flushing all fish down the toilet: I haven't watched JJ in a long time, but, man, she annoyed me. Isn't she the one who rails against lazy asses who collect disability and unemployment benes? Yet when this plaintiff said he had to leave for work, so he asked his gf to stop by after her shift to check on the leaky fishtank, JJ went ballistic. She said, you should have called into work 10 minutes late! What I really hated was how COMBATIVE Judy was with the plaintiff right out of the gate. Why? He seemed ok to me. Her final judgment was ridiculous, imo.

Pathetic people. I need to ™ that! Just gonna say it constantly now. Pathetic People™ Poor poor children. Innocence lost. Not fair, is it?

Teresa and Joe had four children by choice. It's their responsibility to do what must be done for the kids' welfare. I am the oldest of eight (ages 31 down to teens, now). Mommy, Dad, two sets of grams AND great grams. They got it done. Where there's a will.... I read on Radar Online that Teresa is lawyer shopping because she wants her prison sentence overturned. Ishkibibble! Does Teresa have ANYBODY in her life with common sense? You know, when I read that Teresa got $750K for this season of RHONJ, I almost cried. What a waste. P.s. so sweet Lablover! <3

Local news in NYC this evening showed Joe Guidice showing up alone at a courthouse to plead to state charges (I believe). As he waited for an elevator, a camera person came close and Juicy turned into Raging Bull. He pushed the camera guy with such force, he lost control of the camera and the guy's glasses were knocked askew. After being on tv all these years, I'd think Joe et al would go with the flow? Idiot.

Omg, mikendakota! Can't stop laughing. The wordplay and situation spoofing are absolute bullseyes.

Tonight's episode was so great! American Horror Story: Freak Show; Homeland; Are You the One? And Dance Moms, with a dance called Amber Alert (yeah...wow. baddest taste ever.) -- all got great snark. I think my faves were DWTS, featuring Alfonso Ribeiro, and the new Hollywood Divas, a train wreck if ever I saw one. (Is there any question that Alfonso will be the DWTS winner this season? The Couch people LOVED him!) Oh and a reality show about a guy in a small town who's been shooting a zombie movie for the last SIX years. All the actors are residents of the town, oy, and the special effects are just what you'd expect. Great stuff for the People's Couch. http://zombieresearchsociety.com/archives/26475 I gotta pay better attention to the cast here because I don't like calling them the grannies and the gay guys, etc. They do SUCH a great job, I promise to show more respect and learn the names as the season continues.

're Kathy and her CannoliFrigoli: Here in the Ny/nj metro area, we had a recurring commercial for IHOP, in which supposed "real" customers sampled and commented on new menu items. One woman, maybe 25 to 30?, exclaimed she had NO IDEA what cannoli meant but she loved those new pancakes! I'm not sure why but I couldn't stand that comment! I mean, I ain't Amish but I know what shoofly pie is! However when I mentioned this to my sweet, middle America husband, he said, until he met me, he never heard of cannoli! So I guess I've learned a lesson in tolerance and understanding. (Unless of course Jim Marchese shows his face!! Then, I am out!.)

Jim WISHES he were 5'6"! Lol. The only way he gets to that height is if he wears those Bono-type shoes with built in platforms. Watching Jim sitting in his chair on WWHL, I really noticed how diminutive in size he is. His legs and arms are tiny--just like his intellect and sense of decency. He might be 5'4" on a good day. He was tweeting the other night that Dina is "jealous" of Jim and Ambers relationship, then went on to list reasons for that jealousy as related to Dina. Really below-the-belt stuff. Jim is really such a small, small man. My Italian-American gf' s mom calls short guys with inferiority complexes, mezzo braciole! Perfect description of Ambers sad little husband, imo.

Sunday 10/12/2014: Amber and Jim Marchese. Oy. I graduated from a NYC Catholic h.s. (though we're Lutheran/Church of Sweden). I've made lifelong friends. This weekend I reunited with an Italian American classmate and her family. Her mom is hysterical. We were discussing men, bfs, good guys, bad guys. Mom started talking about certain men who are "mezzo braciole," meaning half-size meat entrees! I asked her to explain, and she said short guys who have inferiority complexes are mezzo braciole! Omg. Jim Marchese needs to be in the dictionary next to mezzo braciole. Can't stand him!!

Teresa made such a fuss about not ever wanting to live in a "used" house. I think she called the prospect of it, "gross"? How will she handle prison? Even the dormitory-style places are definitely pre-owned, stained and stinkaroo. Ha. Even though Teresa assured Andy that she's a changed woman, I can definitely see T getting into pushing and slapping and biting and hair-pulling with fellow inmates. Some of them will go out of their way to antagonize her, and Teresa is too dumb and hair-triggered to just walk away. She better be careful or else she'll quickly tack on more time. I think Joe and the girls will be taken care of by a combination of friends and family. Schools will get social services involved, too, if teachers and others sense any form of neglect. I don't blame Teresa for shying away from Melissa and Joe because I also believe Melissa is a phony and calculated. To me, the Guidice daughters are already screwed. Their genes, the skewed values, the horrible examples of conspicuous consumption and criminality, etc, will be hard to override. It can be done, but it will be difficult. I think if one out of four of the daughters turns out to be educated, sensible, ethical and moral, it will be an accomplishment of the highest order. What a mess Teresa and Joe have made. It's Shakespearean. Stupid Shakespeare, but epic tragedy nevertheless.

Teresa and Joe, both, have a kind of paralysis of the brain. Neither one of them can keep a thought in his/her head for more than 30 to 60 seconds. That's why Joe always seems so blase. He'll start to relate a comment, forget what he was about to say or realize he's inadvertently gone off-script, , then float into, "so, you know, blah blah blah. Whateva." And he actually says, "blah blah blah"! Lol. Meanwhile, Teresa is a tiny bit better in that she can keep something memorized, then attempt to spit it out, but after 60 to 90 seconds, she's reaches HER limit. The eyes go into a vacant stare, she freezes, the hand gestures try to obfuscate the drowning, and her "you know, you know, like, yeah, you know," take over. Mental midgets. They are completely out of their league. They should NEVER have agreed to reality tv, and they could still be living life as the miscreants they are, without too much intervention from the law. The Guidices are just too much to bear for me. I see too many people who struggle day in and day out to be good citizens, loving daughters and sons, responsible, loving parents. I truly cannot abide the cheaters and abusers and criminals who work SO HARD at putting it over on the rest of us.. The Me myself and I /eff everybody else-philosophy of life just makes me crazy.

Andy asked Joe how he felt about maybe being deported. Andy said, in five years, you might all be living in Italy, how do you feel about that? Joe shrugged, leaned back in his chair and said, heh, it wouldn't be so bad. All nonchalant-like. But two minutes later, Joe wagged his finger at Andy and said, I GUARANTEE you, I won't be going back to Italy! Ominous or clueless? Our choice. LIARS AND THIEVES. And ignoramuses, too.

I did forget that! My brain must have gone into self-protective mode!I just can't stand this family at all. Not one of them has a redeeming virtue. And I can't even stand the TITLE of this series! I guess it's an homage to the old sitcom, Married With Children? But come on! Aren't Albie Chris Lauren ashamed of themselves for allowing Bravo to infantilize their adult asses as "children?" When does it stop? Between Manzo'd With Children and the former Boys to Manzo, I think Andy is really not as enamored as he pretends. There's something so insultingly sly under the surface about these shows. Still, of course, there are the three losers making excellent money by being the three losers. Maddening! Those ratings are insane. Does Neilsen still count a household if it shuts off the show after five minutes? I can't believe millions of people really stuck with it. It was truly impossible to watch!

Caroline and her "boys" are creepier than ever. Looking into my crystal ball, I see Caroline "allowing" Albie to marry and have two kids. Then, when poor Mrs Albie' s body parts show up in various dumpsters throughout Hoboken, Caroline will wash the blood from her hands and set upon raising Albie' s kids as her own. Giving myself the shivers..... During Tuesday's premiere of "The Peoples Couch," Bravo showed an extended preview of Manzo'd. Omg...unbearable. Chris reminiscing about his funniest or most remembered event growing up?! Who the fuck cares? Just shut it.

I always believed the bikini fashion show on that trip was THE moment when Caroline' s envy and hatred toward Teresa reached fever pitch and cemented itself in perpetuity. Remember how Caroline begged off EVERYTHING on that trip, claiming a migraine? That beautiful vacation place, and Caroline refused to change clothes or get off the couch. When Teresa modeled her suits, Albie and Chris were front and center ogling and sotto-voce drooling. If I remember right also, didn't the Manzo "boys" also peep and eavesdrop on that trip to check out the Guidices having sex in a bathroom? Knowing how unnaturally close Caroline is to Albie, she just made herself physically and emotionally ill over Teresa's bod and sexuality. Looking at those hilarious gifs linked above, I think Teresa can be christened Crazy-Eyes Medusa from now on. Teresa is a stupid woman but, also, a wise guy. She knew she was lying and thieving and misrepresenting all along. She knew it. She got away with a light sentence, in my view.
