In Gorga Sr case - I'm not sure that is a healthy trip to make every day. Yes, it gets him out of the house and something to look forward to, but it kinda keeps him in mourning, as opposed to honor and remembrance of the good times. Nonna passed in March of 2017 - what happens when Gia (who I suspect is the driver in most cases) goes off to college ?

WTH??? a PVC pipe coat rack with twine for a dentist office that only can hold 4 coats ???

Agree. Even if Joe isn't grown enough to call his last-surviving-parent for himself, the least he could do is call to keep the peace. Talk about the weather , the game last night, generic stuff - nothing controversial. 2 min. then get of the phone. Gorga Sr has been in NJ most of his adult life, raised a family, had a job doing whatever, probably had other adult interests like church/other old school Italian men's club, and he has "no one else" to pal around with? No other widow wants to make googly eyes at him ? Tre isn't helping by keeping him around the house all day. The scene where they were getting their pedicures, Gia said she went with Gorga Sr to "visit Nonna" this morning... He said he visits her every day... Were they referring to her gravesite ?

is the "WW" weight watchers ?

Joe Guidice was probably one of his good ole homemade wine making and drinking buddies...

I agree. Yes plastic surgeon make money.. but I didn't think they made NBA money. And if you have no interest, circle of friends or experience in the sport - just don't see asking a builder to do a custom court.. and there is more to the house.... like his and her toilet rooms -b/c you both can be on the same "schedule" - her words not mine. :) http://www.bravotv.com/the-real-housewives-of-new-jersey/season-9/videos/tour-jennifer-aydins-sprawling-home

I'm lost... (1) why go to the children's hospital in Oklahoma to discuss/show children's hospital gowns ? Wouldn't it make sense to start off with a children's hospital close to home, as the pilot for the gowns ? Is the hospital in Oklahoma like St. Jude (which I thought was only 1 location in the US) - in that it is a very specialized treatment facility for children ? (2) Marge said she was inspired when she had her gallbladder removed and she was on the children's floor... just why was she on the children's floor, in the first place ? I mean they only keep you in the hospital for a couple of days and she went off sight seeing to the children's floor? Plus I would think the children's floor would have security...

That still leaves 9 hrs. I'll give him a couple of hours for sex, so that is 7 hrs to make phone call or pop by for a drink and sleep. Joe doesn't stay in constant touch with his dad because he does not want to. Sad, but it is what it is. And Melissa knows this and perhaps why. Otherwise while he is sitting on his ass at the dinner table waiting for a plate, she could remind him to call his dad. Or call him while you're at a red light or sitting on the toilet. Now and I would say that communication is a two-way activity. And Nonno might just need to reach out to Joe as opposed to always complaining about it - be a persistent pest. If Nonno doesn't drive - Tre or Melissa could pick him up (or call a service) and take him over to Melissa/Joes for a meal or conversation.

I know the man is grieving... but I do wonder if there is another health issue going on..and I am sure all of "wine" isn't helping. I kinda wish they would at least state what foodies are on the table.... what was that pie looking dish (there were two of them) that Tre carried to the table, before they sat down ?

If the hubby is so traditional , why on earth would he agree to be on RHO* ? I kinda wish the final answer was no - on the grounds it wasn't discussed first before giving an answer and she knows what kind of schedule he keeps. Tre' do tell us how are you going to lose 4 lbs in 3 weeks ? Not to overly criticize her ambition for entering a body building contest (i'm seeing this as more of a bucket list item) - but is there a SR level category ? A 40 yr old isn't (or shouldn't) be in the same category as a 20 yr old...

Jennifer - kids ages 5,7,9,11,13... at first it sounded like lotto numbers and/or clothing sizes 9 bedrooms, 16 bathrooms, movie theater, basketball court - sounds like a ballers house ... loved the foyer though.

does Chloe Dao ( link ) make and alter most of her clothes ? I remember a prior episode where Choloe made two dresses for an engagement Jen had to attend

what happened to going to a costume store or heaven forbid target-walmart-kmart and getting a costume? That way there's no interpretation ,guess or mis-guess what you're dressing up as. I would have had a good time coming as the Grinch.

At the dinner table... Big Mouth ,don't-know-what-to-say-where Heavenly announces " daddy like me to put it in my mouth"... Damn.. I feel so sorry for Dr. Damon.. And Heavenly wasn't ashamed or embarrassed - just keep right on eating her food.. Is there a tv rating on this show ?

ok. I just thought when the $$ is withdrawn from a trust , alot of procedures, paperwork and documentation is required to prevent theft and misuse of funds. for example if a trust is have money set aside for grandkids to go to college, there should be a set of "rules" that the $$ is used and payable to a college. Not to make payroll at the lawyer's side business.

Boy Friend = booty call and social status Frank = father of children and financial support Delores = Happy as a clam and hopes every women is envious of her because she has it all

True. but are there procedures in place to keep from taking money out of a trust? paperwork, multiple signatures, waiting period, hearing among the partners, etc ? A trust account is not the same as gabbing lose bills out of the register, or giving back change for a $10 when someone gave you a $20.

I'm still trying to figure out Melissa. Of all the women, yes she is 100%? Italian but she seems the least likely to be the one to hold onto all of the older traditions. So when she has the battles with Joe over household, child and job/career duties, it just seems odd coming from her. I'm not sure why it is a discussion among 4 other people (Joe and children) to assist in bringing food to the table. If you want to eat, dammit get off your ass and come grab your bowl. And then she has to cheese and sauce everyone's serving. As long as she keeps doing that kind of serving, at every meal, her family will sit and wait on her. As cute as Antonia is, and now she is a teen, - I would have had a talk with her about throwing forks. No-no boo-boo , that won't work here. Her pasta looked good. If I would eat a bowl of pasta like that for dinner, I would be big as a house - too many carbs. Wonder how often does that get big bowl served for dinner.

I guess we have to wait until the reunion to find out how everyone reacts to the news of Joe's deportation ruling. Thanks to Andy on WWHL for saying something. Surely Tre and Joe have something up their sleeve other than "let the lawyers handle it". Its too bad with all of these women (past and present) on the show Tre doesn't have one confidant to share with. In his defense - I thought the law was ages ago when they married, you were automatically a citizen (ie can't be deported) if you married a US citizen. Learn something new everyday. Kinda surprised no one mentioned that detail sooner - I'm sure they got married in a big fancy wedding where the officials , both at the church and where they obtained the marriage license, who would want to make sure every detail was covered.

thanks for doing the research... 45 page decision... Good God. Little surprised due to the magnitude of the dollar amt/nbr of clients - he didn't have to serve time.

I'm guessing that gym scene was just for filming. When she was doing the lat pulldown machine - she only had about 20 lbs. I was thinking just how many reps/sets is she going to do get to a body building level? I would have loved her to see her do hard cardio - I can't picture her doing treadmill at level 5-6 (10-12 min mile) with an incline for 30 minutes. Now her bringing up Joe not wanting her to do body building does have a whole new meaning now. He is a mens facility where there is no conjugal visits, right ? Therefore the men are, lets just say "making do with what that have at their disposal". So if/when another inmate sees a pix of Tre in her boby building outfit - that is bound to start something unpleasant with Joe.

Did we see the middle daughter- gabriella? She looks the most like Joe. Gia being 17 is drama all by herself. Kudos for whichever daughter rode the good old yellow bus to school. Usually RHO* kids get chauffeured to a fancy private school.

Thanks for the reminder of my homework to look this case up and find out more details. If he was found guilty and disbarred doesn't that mean he took the $$ ? Yes- innocent people sit in jail but MIA $$ is easy to spot after a through investigation. secondly- how did this happened from a procedural standpoint? Did the clients make the check out to him directly and not the firm? Surely any funds withdrawn from the business account would need more than one signature and a paper trail. Is delores delusional because he "borrowed" the $$ and put it back later? I do believe delores is one of those women who think the father of their children can do no wrong except cheat on them.

Tre knows how to pimp herself around and make that money...body building?

Let me scroll back a second..did the series start before bill & Jan lived together in Houston - like when they were engaged ? I.m wondering if they separately "lived large " (which would explain the sports cars) as singles so now as married couple they are practicing the life they have grown accustomed to..
