I think the only storyline they had this year was the Brandi/Denise one, so anything with Denise in it is being dragged out until the timing's right for the season's climax. I think Lisa and Kyle are really jealous of their friend and already know just where this storyline is headed. I think Denise has been suspicious of where the storyline is going and I don't think she's fully recovered from her surgery yet and she started back a little too early, too. She's handling it all pretty well, considering. Ohhh! I get it, now... Denise is being made to work hard for her money this season because, as it's been said here, she gets paid very well to be on this show and she's had it pretty easy so far. Also, I think Denise and Aaron dressed like a couple'a bums to her shitty party as a fuck you Kyle!

I Googled, "Who are the people in the Superbowl Sabra commercial," and got this list: Charli D'Amelio from Tim Tok, Boomer Esiason, retired NFL quarterback, T-Pain, Kim Chi and Miz Cracker from Ru Paul's Drag Race. I loved Teresa and Caroline's part. Caroline seems to be around a bit too much lately I have a feeling there's something coming up with all of these former real-housewives that haven't quite left the building yet. Caroline and Teresa looked like they had a ball flipping that table!

I have never liked Dorit and I still don't like her. I've never had a real problem with LVP other than finding the Queen Bee act OTT. Obviously Dorit handled the shelter dog situation badly, but LVP made it a storyline to expose Dorit. Teddi saw right through the set-up and all of the women believe Lisa orchestrated the leak. The ROL and TMZ stories are tidy ways to try and close the storyline up and have LVP look like Dorit's BFF and Teddi as the villian, but it seems to have backfired on Lisa with the cast. I'm surprised that public opinion seems to lean to favoring LVP.

Thank you, Dance4Life! I'm sure you're right. I was surprised at the 97% Italian result, too! Melissa is a shady bitch. Her comments about how Teresa has never been a good judge of character and how she'll be celebrating 15 years of happily wedded bliss next year were direct hits at Joe Guidice and their marriage. I think she'll be thrilled if Teresa gets divorced. I can just see her salivating at the irony of it.

What do you mean by, "she knew she didn't have a third season"?

Antonia and Milania have always been so sweet with each other, I love seeing how supportive Melissa and Antonia are of her. I loved watching Danielle's face light up when Milania was engulfed in the embrace of her friends after her performance. Danielle had such a pissed off look while Teresa was visiting. I thought, "Oh, maybe she received notice that she wasn't going to be a full-time housewife and production wasn't reimbursing them for the, "Dream Wedding from Hell"! I'm sure Jennifer's remark on the dumpy bathroom was a joke. I chuckled when she said it and I'd like to think Jackie did, too.

This episode was pretty boring despite all of the "drama" that felt so manufactured. Danielle put such extreme effort to secure a full-time spot and to no avail. I wonder if she got the $45,000 wedding gown in the divorce settlement? My favorite part of the episode was seeing Teresa, Melissa and Margaret without makeup! It's so refreshing, and real! ETA: I watched the repeat of the boring episode and I get the feeling that Bravo's going to say, "Buh-bye Danielle," at the end of this season. I've felt that Teresa has been doing Danielle a big, fat favor out of guilt over the seasons 1 and 2 pile-ups on Danielle by being a friend to her for these last 2 seasons. In the Bravo After Show for this episode, Dolores put into words what I've been thinking about Danielle for a while now: She looks for something/anything to get upset about. Danielle's daughters seem to be so sweet, intelligent and empathetic. I follow their Instagram's and they exude light from their eyes and every bit of their being. Danielle is really blessed with those two.

Whenever a grosse scene starts I close my eyes and peek through my fingers until it's over. I loved the last scene so much!

The season's only half-way through, so I think Margaret will do a lot more in the second half to have earned the coveted center spot, along with Teresa, on the Intro Title Card. Joe Gorga's grosse but I really liked seeing him diffuse the argument between Melissa and Teresa. Their group hug was cute. I love Joe B's sense of humor, "There's Marty running away down the beach"! I've liked Teresa ever since she stood up against her brother, Melissa, Kathy, Richie, Rosie, Caroline, Jacqueline, Lauren, Albie and Chris Manzo, while her marriage and legal issues were publicly exposed, raising four daughters and trying to sell some cookbooks, but I like this Jackie for challenging Teresa on a hypocritical statement.

I remember Andy Cohen saying there were housewives who were good controversial and those who were bad controversial: Teresa Guidice and Bethenny Frankel are good, Danielle Staub is bad. There's a good segment of Wendy Williams show with Danielle on YouTube where she expresses surprise on not being a full-time housewife. Delores is so boring, I just don't care about Frank or Frankie or her relationship with Frank Sr. I read they had a hard time casting for this season, if Jen and Jackie are as good as it gets, I fear for the future of this franchise. I'd love to see Melissa's sister's and Teresa's in-laws cast as regulars! The article by Danielle's daughter was interesting, and saddening. I find the manipulation that goes on with these reality shows fascinating and grosse. Ego and greed are so dangerous.

I love this. That season is spectacular. Caroline, Jacqueline and Caro's daughter were furious at the reunion while Teresa pretty much kept her cool. I think Melissa and Joe really can't stand Teresa but they're smart enough to cling to the "Money Tre". I just feel really sad for Danielle. She's so desperate to have a beautiful suburban life. I loved the brick pillar and rustic ladder/blanket holder in her home.

It also said Community College under the Harverd, it was a joke t-shirt.

And he's the guy that would never let her live it down if she did! They've both talked about about how competitive they can be, he's trying to get her to fail. What a creep. I've always felt that it bugged the shit out of him and Melissa that Teresa was cast in the show at the beginning and that they would be so much more entertaining than she. They thought they deserved it and she didn't: The definition of jealousy. I've never been able to stomach the two of them for this fact alone. Jealousy is one of the ugliest emotions. Now Joe's starting to blow up the old "bad son" storyline to try and make Tre look worse and Melissa's piling on top of that, of course. Gia was the most mature one in the dining room! Haha Melissa! Good job Teresa and Joe!

This is why the storyline of Melissa and Joe being such good disciplinarians in contrast to Teresa's easy going style is ridiculous. I usually watch reality tv while trying to dig beneath the surface and expose branding opportunities: Is Melissa going to try "writing" a book about how to raise good children?
