I don't know, but since I caught this ep on Demand after seeing this post, I couldn't help but notice. She did look quite large. I checked up on the actress and couldn't find any pregnancy mention. I actually hated this episode. I can't stand when shows try to make us have a soft spot for the criminal (and Criminal Minds does this too often lately as well). Gee, Danny....yeah, maybe we should go soft on the chick who could have killed a lot of innocent people because her man was a wronged Vet. BFD. That doesn't excuse her behavior. Aw....she has no choice but to terrify people in a bank because they just can't get a financial break. I get it...Vets...many vets, get a raw deal. Imagine if everyone associated with them just started packing heat and went around stealing to make up for it? Bullshit.

In Italy that's still pretty common. Most women I know use pads because tampons are "unnatural" (despita premarital sex being common lol). I imagine it's mainstream in the South, especially. Even the tampons available are few and far between compared to the zillions of pad brands on the shelves. So I guess Teresa's fam really is "Italian" in their thinking on several things.

They remind me of what an episode of Criminal Minds or L&O Criminal Intent would feature. Since Jim did that TH early on, noting that his kids having to say "yes, Daddy", it's all I could think of. Something in that family is going to blow at some point.

Oh, I've always believed that too. I always thought Jacq played both sides of the fence with Danielle, almost to dangerous levels, IMO. On one hand, I've wanted to lie Jacqueline...she can be light and fun etc...OTOH, I think she's a shit stirring bitch who has had major issues with the fact she was young mom, and a lot of Ashley/Ashlee's problems were due to her inept parenting. Then when she was a non-stop tweeter, not unlike Jim Marcrazy.

I think it was Exercise Science. Some old interview with her (when she was a "fitness model"/bodybuilder) stated she nixed getting her PhD......ok. lol. No wonder she and Jim were a match...both like touting their non-achievements.

^^ LOL, I didn't notice Amber and her fork in the dinner scene, I'll have to re-watch. Do you mean she was all stabby with it? I'm surprised Jim wouldn't have corrected her by now...I mean, their family dinners are so special and Cleaver-ish. ~eyeroll~ Also, I didn't understand what Amber was getting at, since Melissa did go to college. Maybe she didn't go on to master in Gym Class Hero at Columbia, but it wasn't like she snagged Joe at 18.

Interesting bringing up Joe Go vs Joe Giu. I imagine Joe Go does blame Juicy, he's as much as alluded to him being shady on the show and we know they didn't really get along as of late anyway. Not sure what kind of interactions they might have, if any. The reason I don't think Tre will divorce Juicy anytime soon brings me to something I'm curious about now....her father. He adored Juicy (who knows if things have changed). Has there been any word on his health as of late? It doesn't seem like he's bounced back from the lack of sighting/mentioning. I think it would kill him if Teresa "got a divorce"--not only for Joe, but with their whole "Italians don't do that." I think she might wait until he passes away first, actually.

LOL.....LOL!!!!!!!!!!! "Ashlee"....WTF is she commenting for? Her drunkard ho of a mom obviously did a bang up job with her.....Oh "Ashlee" of such a fine family situation. Loser. She can't deal with her mom being back on camera so she's hoping for future airtime by "feuding" with Dina (who I don't care for to begin with). Go Lexi. Ashlee should just get her tits out already and whore herself in Vegas like mammacita, since I don't see much else of a future for that lazy trashbag. #famewhoreforlife

I get that there are kids out there with morally sound parents who are in the shitter, but I still feel bad for the Giudice kids. They didn't ask to be born. Gia grew up with Teresa's version of "normal"......and now she's left taking the fall, more or less. How embarrassing for a 13 year old to go through this....13 is a bitch ass age, and I'd never repeat it, even for a million dollars. ETA: I still don't see Teresa divorcing Joe. "Old school Italians" just don't do such things. (In her world)

Didn't Elizabeth Vargas say she felt unfit as a mom and also going to work for like, 4 glasses a night? She isn't Joe, but I can imagine even 2 bottles (if he's 'sharing' 4) would make him rather out of sorts. Some people can hold their alcohol, but....bottles every night just isn't responsible. Forget him, for his kids. Will he do more splits and break his teeth again?

I don't know....every time Milania's been around Joe she's been a different little girl, from what I've seen on tv anyway. It's Teresa who can't control her, it seems....like Milania knows she can act like a brut and a brat and Tre won't do anything except screech "MILANIAAAAAA!". I can't get the scene of Milania, Joe, the chicken and that lady out of my head. Milania. She was so well behaved, so polite. The only thing is I don't think Joe will actually be around the girls so much, so Milania will likely be running amok, depending on who's home. I have a feeling she fears the nonni Gorga.

Yeah I am surprised....but yet not surprised...lol, that Joe's been in and out of trouble since , like, 13? That is what you'd call a Life of Crime, I suppose. lol. I guess by surprised I meant I had an idea of Joe getting into problems more in his late teens--end of high school. Not being some punk ass kid. Great parenting Franco and Filo. And I didn't take from the article that Antonia Gorga really didn't approve of Joe Giu. Looked to me like a double message "oh no, he's no good, no marry him" but yet she "loved him" and went to bail him out every time with Filo? Ok, then. I assume Filomena was 16 or so when she came here with her husband (I am still left with my mouth hanging open that she wed at 14....kind of like Richie's perpetual look!)....talk about an uphill battle. And talk about no formal education, either. Nothing really shocks me to see how the Gorga kids or Joe turned out edumacation-wise.

Yeah, he wasn't bad. Not my type, but I can see the attraction. What a bad boy. lol. Honestly, I can imagine Tre's parents and Joe's parents kind of setting it all up, keeping the marriage within the roots of the small town where both families came from. I can see Tre seeing Joe as some hot rebel...lol. Eh, I think Teresa was raised around the same types as Joe and her values only lie in whatever tradition her parents drilled into her brain....like making sauce or keeping a man happy. I think Teresa would sell her soul for material goods by any means, and it seems she has. I don't think she's some innocent fairy, I think she is dumb like a freaking fox.

From watching makeup artists it seems the "new trick" is nude/flesh colored pencil for that. I've never noticed white pencil looking so obvious outside of this show, though. I think the combo of the mega-tans and the makeup guns set to Clown just make it worse. Speaking of Clown....no white liner here....but who told her this makeup looked good? yikes. Bozo and Binky

More than cringe, I wanted to bitch-slap Garcia for sounding so stupid (not that she's against the death penalty, but her whole crappy dialogue). I agree with Morgan....go write him a letter (she did) The end. Can we move along to the unsub now? kthanxbai!
