PizzaTroll

Exactly - there's so many ways it could be spun. Does Marge's son work at a pizzeria and Louis was calling to order a pizza? Does he work at a tanning salon and Louis was making an appointment for him and Teresa for their twice-a-week roasting? Does her son work as a telehealth therapist that Louis called for more mantras for his warrior camp? Maybe he works reception at the dentist's office where Louis bought his current chiclets!

This was all headache inducing, and while I may need a day to process all the facts (like Teresa lol), here are the first thoughts off the top of my head. I could never be friends with any of these women as I don't enjoy screaming confrontation or conversations that loop around and around and around with someone talking over me. That's out of the way... lol Jen Aydin is a bored, mean girl that needs to focus on her family's well being and health instead of this show. I have not liked her since she came on as her personality is such a turn off and she is money obsessed. Go home, Jen. Teresa and that husband of her are both monsters. This season was full of fake family scenes with them. They paint Louis as a doting and loving father, but his real true self is a cunning, manipulative narcissist. I would believe whatever one of his exes or niece from his first marriage would tell me because under his "Transcend" persona, is a dark, cruel asshole. I like Paterson Dolores but she overreacted in the Marge scene. Holy shit, I was taken aback. I'm glad they hugged it out in the end, and I can see where she was coming from on WWHL when she said she reacted that way because her integrity was questioned. I get that. Rachel, Danielle, Melissa don't make that much impression on me. Oh Jackie, this whole season has been a horrible look for you. Quit the show, focus on your family and your health. This (wildly pointing at the mess of RHONJ) is not worth it. While I believe Marge did talk to the ex or exes at some point, and may have leaked stories - I feel like the bigger issue is why Louis gets connected to all these sleazy people that feel the need to have restraining orders, gag orders and media outlets reporting how terrible he is. How he lies and manipulates and time swallowed up in court cases. Whatever Marge may have or may not have done would be secondary to the fact that Louis has a shit ton of baggage that, given the social media world we live in, Teresa HAD to have known would come out when he hitched his fame hungry wagon to hers.

Well, the good news for Teresa is that since she practices yoga, there are thousands more Gods open to her to blame!

I really don't have much of an issue with the filming of Melissa's cousin's wedding. At least it's partially a storyline? Lol I mean, it's her real life. I'm sure the family loves being filmed but at least it was a real event happening and not some conjured up party for a business celebrating it's relaunch for the 97th time, which I wouldn't put past some of these ladies. I know Joe Go is a Neanderthal in many ways and I don't mean to defend him, but I liked him as officiant. I officiated my sister's Covid wedding and it was meaningful to me and I know my sister to have someone that really knows the couple officiating. The Bougie Kids party was like watching paint dry. I can't stand watching them ping pong around each other to avoid certain castmates or to stir shit up. So boring.

This particular group is so infuriating and I have seen every season. Dolores - I appreciate her calmness and tact when talking to Jackie. She was done and that was that. Jackie looked like a kicked puppy but she needs a slap of actual reality that none of these women really like her, and the longer she mopes around every party, the worse she looks and the worse for her mental health. I wish Dolores had the same strength and conviction with Paul. She has blinders on with him, and although I don't think he is as much of a con man as Louis, there is still something not right there. Teresa and Jen really said the quiet part out loud re: Jackie. I guess I should appreciate their honesty? But then I remember these women are nearly 50 or are 50 and I know my six year old would never treat anyone this way. I wish they would just come out and say what the legal issue between Teresa and Margaret is (I don't follow closely enough along in social media if it has been mentioned) because this weird blood feud they have is exhausting and Jackie comes off like an absolute desperate moron to play along. Danielle and Jen's altercation was so dumb. I don't really have much opinion on Danielle other than that she is loud and has dreamt of this level of reality tv stardom for years - remember her True Life episode - but Jen is so sleazy, dirty and completely untrustworthy. She needs to get off tv, get a good therapist for her, invest in a good therapist for her kids because they will need one, and spend time with her children. She is not a good role model for them. Her behavior is horrific.

!

I so agree. I would rather watch Joe Gorga taking a shot from a blow up doll a thousand times over Louis and Teresa's "oh babe, I love you" "oh babe, I'm sorry you have to put up with the drama" "Oh babe I love you more" and their namaste, bitches shit. It's been branded on at least one person's body this season during scenes at their house! Do they know what namaste means? Every scene of theirs is presented like a family dinner from Leave It to Beaver and I am over it and its fakeness.

Your last paragraph - yes! (Sorry, I don't know how to cut and paste/respond to one quote!) Why should anyone care about the anniversary of Jan's death? I know we all grieve differently, and I'm sure there are some mixed feelings of grief for Margaret, but it's kind of bizarre to see this as a continued part of her storyline. I wouldn't expect my friends to remember the anniversaries of when my loved ones die, especially not ones I divorced or cheated on!

I don't mind the kids scenes because it reflects what's really going on in these womens' lives, and any child going to college - especially far from home - is a big deal in a parents' life. Plus it gives us a break from the manufactured drama of who is speaking to who, who can't be friends with who, who's extensions look the worse, and other false drama of these inane parties. Like high school cliques, they sit on couches, complain about food and tear each other part. I'm getting tired of the same old same old from Jersey.
