As you said, and Amber droned on and on about in one of her blogs, if they are such good Catholics as she professes, I certainly hope that Jim went to confession right after he got off the plane from Florida....isn't breaking a commandment a mortal sin? And, since he has tweeted (or, in his case, "twitted") that he doesn't believe the Rino/Santa rumor, he bore false witness against his neighbor (Ninth commandment), in other words....he lied about someone else...such a douche!! And, for the record, I have never really liked the word "douche" or "douchebag", but it soooo fits Jim Marchese!!! Okay - now I better go to confession, too!! Nah...I think I'm more truthful than he is!!

Did anyone else see Danielle Staub on "Access Hollywood" today - publicly wishing Teresa "all the best"?? The host (Billy - ? I don't know - I never really watch the show, and just left it on because she was on it) repeatedly said that Danielle reached out to them to appear. I'm sorry--not really--but, how opportunistic of Danielle is that? I know that Theresa and Joe are guilty and everything associated with it, but I thought it was pretty low of Danielle to try to boost her own fame (or lack thereof) from this situation. And then, she even had to throw her kids into it, by saying that her oldest wanted to send Gia a public message, as well.... Sheesh!!

"In my view of life".....the world according Jim Douchechese..... If this isn't scripted, or preplanned, there can be no words to describe what a disgusting person Jim Marchese is. And, yes, Amber, Theresa and Dina did know the rumor from Victoria Gotti, but none of them tried to tell TerESSa or Nicole, only Jim "who wants peace, but will wage war to get it" Marchese had the douchebaggery to repeat it!! TerESSa was correct when she said that Jim has a Napoleon complex...isn't that how he felt about things, too?? I have never disliked a Househusband as much as I dislike this man!! He takes the award away from Slade, Simon, Jim Bellino, and even Vicki Gunvalson's Brooks!!! What a disgusting human being!! And, he just considers saying all those vile things as "having fun with them"??? Does this man have ANY friends in real life? How could he?

Okay - I know this show is stupid, but I can totally relate to Caroline and the trapeze! I, too, am afraid of heights, and I know how she felt. My sons "shamed" me into ziplining, and I was almost as bad as Caroline, whining and nervous. Am I glad I did it? Yes....but am I still afraid of heights? You betcha!!

Priorities = cash flow!! :-)

WTF happened to Christopher?? I mean, he really never was the "good looking" one, but he is really looking very rough!! He looks like an overweight middle-aged man who drank one (or eight) too many beers....really not looking good!!!

Okay...I'm back from an amazing vacation in Aruba, and am catching up here.... But, I have a stupid question (there are plenty of them in my brain after catching up on EVERYTHING!!!) - but anyway, here's the question - if these people are all staying in the house, and NOT going out to dinner or anything, why do some of these women (ummm....Melissa???) carry their purses from their bedrooms to the dining room table?? I agree with you about Jim - I now REALLY want to run into him somewhere around here, so I can just give him a "side eye"!! What a douche!!!! There are parts of Joe Gorga I really hate (the constant sex talk, especially), but he does seem like he'd be fun at a party. And, I think that Dina has body-conscious issues. She has a great figure, but always seems a little uncomfortable about herself. She was wearing a bikini and hanging out with the girls around the pool, but was all covered up in a muumuu when the guys where there.

Well...the Mayan ruins and the pyramids are also works of art, but you're not allowed to touch them!!

Okay...watching again and I have to say, as much as the twins' voices grate on my nerves, they don't drive me too, too crazy or annoy me too much. I do appreciate the fact that when you see them filming "every day" things (like going for a normal procedure such as a colonoscopy with their husband), at least they are not made up as if they are walking a red carpet. Ter-ESS-a looked like a normal wife waiting for her husband - jeans, normal shirt, minimal makeup. And, then we have Amber - going to the doctor with full on fake lashes, clown cheeks and much too much everything else. And, God, please - enough with the white eye-liner!! Whoever told Amber (and Tamra from RHOC) that was a good look should be shot!! I also appreciate that Dina doesn't believe this rumor about Rino and Santa. IMO, though, this is all producer driven, and the fact that Theresa G. is telling Dina was also a producer-driven storyline set up. I don't believe any of that...that family is just too traditional for it to have happened, in the first place, and, in the second place, for Rino to still be alive or walking or have something to stuff in those bird underwear, if it did.... Oh, and also, I know Rino is caustic and crass, but there is something about him that makes me laugh!

I noticed that too...and Jim, as well - when he was showing his daughter how to make the sign of the cross, he went to his right shoulder and then his left - I always thought it was left shoulder, then right?? I am soooo over Amber and THE cancer - obviously, the "inconclusive" test results are good, because the previews show them appearing in Florida. I cannot believe that she constantly talks about this to her RL friends the way she does on the show - I mean, I have the greatest respect and empathy for anyone who has survived cancer, and know what kind of struggle everyone faces, but enough is enough. I have several friends who are breast cancer survivors and they continue to amaze me every time I see them. Amber does not inspire or lift people up, in my opinion. And - as someone mentioned upthread - what the hell was that monstrosity of a sweater/top she was wearing when in the kitchen with Jim? That was the most hideous thing I've ever seen someone put on their body~~well, except for Rino's bird underwear, but at least he hopefully would not be wearing that in public. I really do not like this couple at all - I almost hope I run into them somewhere so I see for myself if Jim is as much of an a-hole in real life as he appears to be on TV!!

I think the boys go to school there, so more than likely, they got their ashes during the school day. Last week, Jim was wearing a shirt with "St. Mary's School" embroidered on it. I actually think that the sight of Rino in his bird underwear has been burned in my mind forever...I need brain bleach!! That now replaces Slade Smiley from RHOC in his tanning sock as the grossest thing I've ever seen on a RH show!!

So, "porte cochere" is just a fancy carport?? I always thought it should be in the front of the house. Wasn't that the way it was back in the day, so that people getting out of horse-driven carraiges could get to the front door without getting rained on? Don't they have an attached garage with an entrance to the house?

That is who I was thinking of as well, and couldn't remember her name...her runway show had dresses and skirts very similar in design, but in whites, teals and light blues. I think she was on the same season as Kenley. Yes...thank you!! :-)

I didn't get Sandhya's look at all...I thought it was horribly made, looked sloppy and the styling was horrendous. I kept thinking of that cartoon character "Rainbow Brite" from the 80's....only Rainbow Brite's dress was cuter! I also was not a fan of Amanda's look, and it pissed me off that the judges did not call her out on the fact that the dress started to fall apart on the run/rainway, especially given that they finally had two days for the challenge. I though the materials were ugly, the design was ugly, the dress was ugly....okay - I'll admit it - I don't like Amanda. :-) I feel bad for Fade, but I agree with everyone - I don't think his heart was in this challenge, and he seemed very lost this week. This should have been Tim's save, because while I like Char as a person, I think Fade has more talent and original ideas.

I like Dina, too....I always have.

Or her checkbook.....

If you're done puking, please let me in the bathroom....I think I just threw up in my mouth, reading that ridiculously self-aggrandizing drivel!! If this is a love letter, I am glad that they found each other...they are truly a freakin' match made in Heaven, because I can't imagine anyone who deserves each other more than Terry and "Hedy"....and I can't imagine that there is anyone else in the world who would put up with either of them!

I think we now know WHY Kate has a "bitchy resting face"....ummmm - maybe because she's a bitch?? Her bitchy resting face makes you wonder if that old adage that everyone's mother said about "Don't make that face - yours may freeze that way" is actually true!! I kind of liked her until this episode - she lied to her boss about something that could have jeopardized the entire crew's tip, and then, complained when they called her out on it. Just because the lead passenger called her out on "looking bitchy" (which was wrong of him, admittedly), she retaliated, got caught and then denied and lied. If she were working at any land establishment/hotel/resort and did something to retaliate against a guest/client, however innocuous, she would more than likely have been fired on the spot. I don't think this is a good job for Kate - she seems envious of all the guests, all the time. Although, I thought that this charter group was pretty demanding - especially handing over a bunch of dirty laundry/hand washables twelve hours before they docked, with the expectation of having everything cleaned, ironed and ready to pack. And, I really do also have to wonder if those tips they receive are actually from the guests, or from the production company??

Oh, geez....and here, I thought his name was Sean....guess I was having a hot flash of my own (move over, Vicki!!!) :-)

TMZ is reporting that Theresa and Joe have listed their house for sale at $3.9 million. http://www.tmz.com/2014/09/08/real-housewives-teresa-joe-giudice-sell-new-jersey-mansion-prison/ Somehow, I don't think they will get full asking price! ETA: Looks like their house down the shore has also been listed for sale: http://www.trulia.com/property/1090913617-49-Sylvia-Ln-Manahawkin-NJ-08050#photo-18

I didn't think that was a big deal, either...we actually used to do this as kids--spare change in the couch was always found money (especially after my aunts and uncles had visited...). And, putting the money in her bosom may have been something either Milania or Audriana had seen her grandmothers do - my grandmothers did that, and my mother still does it on occasion. :-)

OMG!!!! .I QUOTED Kelly Bensimon!!!! YIKES!!!! (I think I need to go eat some organic, natural gummy bears and drink some organic, natural beer while jogging down the middle of the street in New York!!)

Well...it's because Vicki said it and not Tamra...only Vicki is allowed to comment on her relationship status, apparently. But, in fairness, I think that Vicki knows deep in her heart that Brooks is not "Mr. Right" - he is just "Mr. Right Now" (to quote someone from the RHNY - I can't remember who), and she isn't ready to admit that to anyone, even Tamra. Brooks is a sleaze and it was made abundantly clear when they were discussing Vicki's new home, living arrangements and "rent" he would have to pay. If I understood what he was saying, he was expecting to pay rent, and then, when/if Vicki decided to sell the house, he would get a share of the sale profits?? Gee - is that something new in a rental agreement?? Edited to Add - Sorry to Essexjan for essentially saying the same thing as she did upthread!!! :-)

In the NY area, there used to be Storm Field (and that was his real name - his father was also a meteorologist)!! :-)

Well, at least the stripper/painter was better than the bachelorette party strippers Gretchen arranged!! :-)
