Ah, Jennifer’s storyline...marriage counselor to her parents. 
 

That’s boring. I’m also over the Tre needing to hate, manufacture drama (lies) and get bent out of control too. What happened to watching people have fun. Especially when we can’t with having to isolate.

[TexasGal]

Margaret with the words of wisdom - don’t use an analogy, none of these women will understand that.  And never bring up the kids. Yep.  Especially with Teresa the rage beast.

[Mindthinkr]

Theresa looks so happy about this fighting storyline. She thrives on the conflict and attention. 

[pieinmyeye]

Teresa is so annoyingly stupid. She truly makes my ass hurt.

[heatherchandler]

Dolores is gorgeous without makeup!  She looks nothing like her sisters or brother in that picture they showed.

Jennifer is trying really REALLY hard to look like Kim Kardashian.

[whydoievencare]

Teresa will never apologize to Jackie.  The only time I remember her apologizing was to Daniele Staub a few seasons ago.  Teresa is so depressingly stupid - you can't discuss anything with her where she doesn't get her back up if she feels she's being criticized in ANY way, and you certainly can't discuss a situation with her using logic.  She only sees things from her own perspective.  Delores is spot on when she said that the only thing Teresa heard was something about Gia and then her brain both reacts and shuts down.

Margaret should have brought the gummies.

And again, Gia is more mature than her mother.  Shocker.

[Legalbeagle421]

I oddly enjoyed the conversation between Frank and David. I thought it was kind of cute.

I appreciated what Gia said to her mom on the phone. She had common sense.

Otherwise, kind of boring episode lol. 

[thefog]

Jackie lost control of the fight.  Teresa did not come in guns blazing.  I think she knew she was wrong.  But then Jackie escalated it by saying she's not stupid, she's a lawyer and that she wins.  And now she's having to defend herself with what she said about Gia.

We all know Teresa holds grudges.  Not only will she not apologize now, she will never forgive Jackie.

It's that open mouth, blinking, staring she does like she is trying to compute what someone is saying.

Such a dumb dumb.

[LibertarianSlut]

Ok, that didn’t take long for Jackie to begin her spin tour by telling Margaret that she told Teresa vis a vis Gia, “I don’t know if it’s true, but...”. FICTION.  Or, as the Red Menace used to say, “LIE!”

If I had a dollar for every time the word “analogy” got tossed around on this episode, good God.  It’s reverberating now to Melissa and Marge Sr.  For the people who think the analogy was implied by virtue of Jackie’s tone—which I could see—wouldn’t it be so much more honest of Jackie to say just that?  Because Jackie is making it sound like an unambiguous analogy, and that part simply isn’t true.  I’m a reasonably intelligent person, and I struggle with it.  If Jackie wanted to be even more honest and go another step to show us that she how evolved she is (as opposed to Teresa), she could go the extra mile and say that she was trying to set Teresa off with the “analogy,” rather than trying to get Teresa to see the light, because that part is clear to me.  To err is human, to pretend you don’t understand what you did is bovine.  

Jackie is never going to look at Teresa again or spend any more time with her?  Sure.  Is this like on RHBH when they went to Amsterdam, Kim said “let’s not talk about the husband,” Lisa Rinna broke a glass at the table and went for Kim’s throat and later told Kyle that she would never spend time with Kim again, only for Rinna to literally have a sit-down with Kim in Kim’s hotel room in the same episode?  Is there a different space-time continuum on Real Housewives?  The only way Jackie will not be amongst Teresa again is if she quits the show.  Hmm.

Teresa is lying or at least being hypocritical when she says that Jackie isn’t strong if she can’t take the rumor about her husband cheating.  Has Teresa met herself and the 90 seasons she spent trying to put a lie—with violence—to the cheating rumors about Joe?  All the glasses that Teresa has broken over the seasons stood up and voiced their objection to that one.  

Good job, Margaret, season nine, casting aspersions on Jennifer’s brother’s “mail-order bride” now that he is married and has two beautiful children.  Maybe Margaret should worry more about her own family.  

Dolores is being passive-aggressive with David, I think, as he is being with her.  She came on the show with a broken engagement to a guy who also couldn’t commit.  Frank has said in the past that he’s not with Dolores because he’s not 100% sure he can be faithful.  What is going on with her?  Is her picker off?  So Dolores’s and Jennifer’s parents are separated?  Jackie’s parents live separately.  Marge Sr dates married men.  And Melissa’s dad used to “go out for milk” for days at a time, leaving her with a potential half-sister.  What is going on with these parents and do they deserve their own franchise?

OMG, Teresa has unhung oil paintings of herself in her bedroom!!!  She is like Suzy on Curb Your Enthusiasm.  

“Wow, Melissa, maybe if I was a mirror, you would greet me.”  -Jen.  She is gold.  Who else would have ever had the balls to say that, other than maybe season 6 Dina?  

Margaret is an interesting one to tell Teresa directly to her face what Jackie said and didn’t say to Teresa when Margaret wasn’t even in the room.  Last season when Margaret said that Jennifer’s husband sleeps in his girlfriend’s bed, it took her about 2.4 seconds to realize it was time to apologize because that was out of line.  Margaret is free to tell Teresa that she thinks Teresa owes Jackie an apology, but it’s not for Margaret to say that it was an analogy when she didn’t hear firsthand and Teresa did.  

Oh, we have to do that Housewives thing where they have to pretend there is a reason they’re going on a trip other than for the show?  Yawn.  

Ok, Teresa has a crush on Evan.  This is clearly schadenfreude.  Teresa’s excuses for saying Evan was cheating were so lame.  He is a swa-vay guy and Jackie doesn’t give him blowjobs?  Not the best evidence.  Doesn’t convince me he’s cheating.  What does convince that he’s cheating is Jackie’s reaction.  I don’t know whether I’m happy she skipped the trip or if it would have been great fun if she’d been there.  

Frank looked scary in that picture with his injuries.  He looked sad and droopy in the face like a post-deportation Joe Giu.  If there has to be a guy scene on a show about housewives, I’m at least grateful it doesn’t involve either of the Joes (Joe B or Joe G, can’t stand either one).  Catania has really good manners in restaurants (I’m a former server, and I pick up on those little things), and I like that about him.  

Party of one, maybe, but I don’t enjoy drunk Melissa aka Melissa Motherfucking Gorga.  She is just a sloppy drunk.  If she has something to say to Teresa’s bullshit, she would have looked like so much less of a wuss if she’d done it sober.  She’s afraid of Teresa too, she’s just not first in line.  

Teresa is blaming tequila?  Again?  That’s what prompted her to urge Danielle to pull Margaret’s ponytail last season.  Maybe it’s time to put the bottle down for a beat.  Teresa’s last, best hope is to say her gossip about Evan is revenge for Jackie’s talk of Teresa’s cheating last season, and even that excuse is flawed.  But nothing else can be said that is remotely defensible, and Teresa should just stick to that one line of dialogue.  

Jackie cutting hair in the driveway with her shitty posture and nervous tics?  Ok, Teresa pissed her off, but what did we do as viewers to be subjected to this?  It makes Jackie’s underwhelming birthday party for her kids last year look like Marie Antoinette at Versailles.  Can we go back to Frank and David please?  Nothing is more important to Jackie than her family?  Is that why she didn’t talk to her sister for 15 years?  And you don’t have to be friends with anybody you don’t want to be friends with?  Then why was she so flabbergasted last season when Jennifer announced that Dolores doesn’t consider her a friend?  Get your shit together FL Jackie (that’s Fordham Law Jackie to us peons).  Jackie’s complaining that she didn’t “get to” go on vacation with her friends?  Who stopped her?  Did she need permission to leave the state, the way Teresa did a few seasons ago?  Vag up, Miss Lady, and go to Lake George if you’re such a boss.  Why let Teresa stop you?  

Lexi...just no.  I don’t think she’s going to last, the way Barbara K didn’t last on RHNYC.  We’ll all always look back on this as the season that Margaret’s weird worker friend Lexi was on.  Hopefully.  

Teresa’s white dress with the black bow was working for me in Lake George.  Everyone else looked kind of slouchy.  Just to be fair, Jackie looked good in her pink dress last episode.  It was tailored well to her body.  

I don’t believe Melissa that she doesn’t use a vibrator.  This is part of her season three “be a lady in the parlor and a whore in the bedroom” shtick.  She’s not putting out on a regular basis.  Anyone who bought her book should get their money back.  

Teresa clearly wanted Jackie to be there so that she could mind-fuck her.  She should have something else going on.  Despite this, solid episode.  It went so fast.  I really enjoy Melissa vs Jennifer when Jackie is out of the equation as Melissa’s wingman.  Melissa knows she can’t hold her own against Jennifer, so she looks like she’s caught in the deep end of the swimming pool with a quickly deflating floaty swan.  Someone asked on last week’s thread if anyone wants to talk about anything besides Jackie and Teresa.  Yes, I do!  I want to talk about the quiet feud between Melissa and Jen.  This has the potential to be very interesting.  Jennifer will get a bitch together with her mouth faster and more thoroughly than Teresa can hurl a glass.

Jackie says she was okay with missing the trip and wanted to spend quality time with her kids then we hear her telling her daughter that even though her bags were packed, they are mean girls, don't associate with mean girls, etc...why do these HW's talk to their pre teen kids about things that go one with the other HW's such as fights, they go in to details that the kids don't need to hear about, why not just say she wanted to stay home with her family?  

Tre can't shut up about Jackie and the other women are trying to not dwell on the situation by feeding in to Tre's constant comments about Jackie not being there but yet every conversation circles back to the Jackie story.

Joe is selling vibrators?  He always struck me as the type that would get his nose out of joint if a woman whipped one out to add to their bedroom fun, like it would be an insult and it would hurt his ego.

Margaret likes a bold wallpaper, doesn't she?  Honestly, I would love to see the finished product, she has very tall ceilings, could be a very cool look once the furniture is in.

Frank seems like a nice guy.

David most likely will not put a ring on it.

 

[Maire]

After a summer of Covid 19 and being in lockdown with all her kids, Jackie tries to convince us that she’s so happy to be home with her family and not on the trip. Try again.

[Axie]

Hasn’t Margaret ever watched RHOA?  What’s with all the food?  Doesn’t she know there’s supposed to be just one crab cake just for her?

Are you glad I stayed home?  Are you happy I stayed home?  I really hate that kind of begging for affirmation. Does she need it for herself or is it for the benefit of the viewers?  Either way it is off-putting.  Glad she wasn't along for the Lake George trip despite having to pay for it by having to hear about her and watch her with what I believe she called them last week, the four most adorable children.  To me this woman is the human embodiment of nails on a chalkboard.

So, Teresa's natural default setting.

[esco1822]

Nice to know that Jackie immediately said it was a analogy. I was wondering if her doing press and saying that now was revisionist history. So really Jackie didn’t put anything out there about Gia, Bravo is to blame for leaving a rumor hanging out there for a week before actually showing her true intentions. 

[thesupremediva1]

Jackie might have a law degree but smart... I don't know anymore.

If you "WIN," if you're so sure your husband has nothing to hide, if you're SO SURE your analogy was clear and perfectly stated, then why are you hiding at home. If she's so secure in her marriage and her retaliation, she should have no problem going on that trip with sycophants like Mel and Marge and icing Tre out or having another go at her. In fact, she could have taken valuable camera time to explain the analogy to Tre and make her look dumb. 

But Jackie is a coward. If you won, honey, you wouldn't be retreating into your enclave and letting others state your case for you. Lawyers don't do that. It's not like Denise on BH who had no allies and crazy shit being thrown at her every dinner - Mel and Marge are right there like loyal soldiers for her. But see, Jackie knows that while she INTENDED to make an analogy about Gia, what came out was a statement. She was mad, and she misspoke. It could be forgivable, but not when you are constantly touting your intelligence and your superior position. 

So now she's home, without camera time, stewing and figuring out how to spin what she intended but failed to execute. 

I didn't miss her one bit. Tre is so dumb - SHUT UP ABOUT HER SHE ISN'T EVEN THERE!

I loved Tre's black and gold top.

Once again, Gia is the voice of reason. This is why Gia (and not Tre) is worth defending. Gia and Tre are two separate entities. You can know Jackie was injured and that Gia was injured while recognizing that Tre started all this chaos by running her mouth. 

Overall this bored me to tears. 

[TV Diva Queen]

Gia was right on the money.  other than that, I have nothing different to contribute.  Tre is truly a box of rocks.  

[mandymax]

I used to think the whole situation with Dolores, David, and Frank was just odd, but now I'm actually kind of liking it.  It shouldn't work, but somehow, it does.

[Alonzo Mosely FBI]

Welp. The shooting range. 

Dr. David whoring out his buddy's ammo place w/his t shirt advertising. The tshirt had that hard look that it's never been washed before and it's not a t shirt that he wears a lot because I do not think that size is his comfort zone. He is a pretty fit guy and it gave him an unattractive bloated belly. It wasn't natural. Felt contrived and not like two sportsmen out at the range. Felt like two tough guys putting on for the camera. The supervising staff were creepy in the background.  That is just how I felt YMMV, I am aware this is a potentially triggering  (no pun intended) topic that's just how I felt personally. I feel like this is a place I can express that. 

 Frank with his super fly high top no socks wrestling shoes. He is a dummy but yes, he entertains me at the end of the day, I am expecting roid rage and he is funny and vulnerable. I think Delores and Frank and David works! 'Ceptin when they're being tough guys at the range. That wasn't for me.

[Gigi43]

Jackie didn't make it that clear as she said it was to Marge with the "that's like me saying" I find it odd Jackie didn't say online it was edited because they way she said it, it wasn't that clear until she was all "I don't know where I heard it but I did." I don't have the original ep on my DVR anymore but my DVR recorded that behind the show of last week and "That's like me saying" wasn't there, I checked. Was it in the original ep? Jackie still let comments under her tweet saying it was an analogy go unchecked of people saying "oh we know she does coke."  Jackie's comment of "Teresa's there with my friends" was lame. They're your co-stars, You and Jen are shaky, maybe Marge is friendly with you but it won't last beyond the show, Melissa will ditch her like she did Kathy and she's Teresa's SIL, and Delores and Teresa have an actual friendship since before the show with Dina. That said, Melissa and Marge would have defended her, she didn't go because she is a coward. Cutting the kids hair was lame and did not feel like she'd been "doing it all lockdown."

 

I still say Jackie isn't a good HW and not nearly as smart as she claims. Teresa was making herself look stupid by denying she didn't spread a rumor when she clearly did. Gia handled it well at the time but I'm sure Jackie not giving much of a damn about the online stuff said about her is the change of tune. If Gia is to blame for not turning off comments as I've heard some say, then isn't Jackie responsible for not deleting comments under her tweet about Gia or not replying to them saying it wasn't true back off? Gia did not involve herself in it. Gia doesn't go on trips like the Manzo kids did. I don't even know if Gia has been around Jackie? She's only ever gotten involved in the Gorga/Giudice stuff. Jackie was laughing on Twitter that Teresa said she'll demolish her with her tongue but also ran out of the room. 

 

Jen's comment about Melissa greeting her if she were a mirror was funny. However, I don't like the Gorga/Giudice kids involved in the adult stuff, and I was uncomfortable seeing Jen's daughter (Olivia?) in the kitchen as the grandmother was crying about the grandfather. She's too young to have to comfort her grandma over her the marriage and now grandpa lives with  them, is Olivia going to feel uncomfortable over making grandma cry? Referring to the grandson by another name is passive aggressive and not fair to Jen's brother/wife/the baby if she keeps it up when the baby is old enough to understand Grandma doesn't use his name. That's good the brother was able to Turkey instead of having to wait it out in America (I know someone who met/married someone in another country in their grandparents town, and couldn't stay there until the spouse could come so their first year or so of marriage was largely apart.)

 

Delores/David/Frank is odd but yet one of the less toxic aspects of the show.

Thank you, it wasn't. Now, did Bravo cut it? We will never know. But that's why Jackie can't claim the moral high ground over Tre - she's very smart, you see. She's just so super-duper intelligent with her analogy. She's smart enough to know the crap Tre spread about her hubby will be taken as fact, and that's not fair, and that's Tre's fault.

Ergo, even if preface a statement with, "What if I said" or "How would you feel if I said" you should know that Bravo could cut that part for drama and ONLY present the drug accusation. Which of course they would do for drama! So Jackie really just needs to own that she got angry (justifiably) and got down in the muck with Tre, and in the process went for a really low blow that hurt a person who did nothing to her (Gia). 

But she won't own that, and that's why I can't stand her. She thinks she's above this show and everyone in it. Honey, you're a bookend in the credits and farthest from Andy on reunion couches. Wake up and realize where you are on the chess board. 

Now, quite stupidly, she's given Tre carte blanche to never apologize - and to hold that comment about Gia against her forever. But she should send Tre a fruit basket for the storyline cuz she's never had one this good before!

I wish I could laugh at Teresa's usual reptilian responses to anything that someone says about anyone in her family but I just can't anymore. I truly think she's a narcisstic sociopath. She twists the truth, lies about almost anything and her idea of conflict resolution is to scream, flip tables, curse, throw the blame on someone else, threaten to use physical violence on her enemies and never ever apologize or admit that she said something damaging or hurtful. Her entire stance in this latest brouhaha is that Jackie needs to be a "strong" woman and stand up for her man.. after all she (Teresa) never started a rumor and didn't spread it at a party...in her twisted brain she was just "sharing"something she  "heard". She's the victim, not Jackie...same with her estranged cousins...they were the perpetrators...she was the victim. Same with the fraud charges and eventual imprisonment. She was innocent and was the victim of a "witch hunt" and she did nothing wrong. Later on she would amend this to "Joe was guilty and used me" defense...throwing him under the bus and again, she's the victim. I'm tired of her and excuses for bad behavior and a lack of any ethics or morality. Tired of her using her Italian ancestry as an excuse for being ill tempered and crazy...Stop...just stop. Add a new character and retire her tired ole ass.

I had the opposite reaction watching Jen’s mother. She looks quite a bit younger than the father. Jen herself said she did not remember seeing much love between them and that her parents had an arranged marriage. I am thinking that mother has had to wait on this guy for a long time and has finally had enough. Father can now hang out at Jen’s house where someone else will wait on him.

I really enjoyed the segment with Delores and her mother. Even though Delores is in her 50’s her mom was still mothering her.

Jens mom seems like the type of woman to berate her husband until he finally snaps and says something nasty back, then cries that he called her a bitch and is so mean to her (completely ignoring the fact that she provoked him for hours before he retaliated). 

Jacks, what you won was a spot on the top of tre's shit list. Then you proved you can't handle being there by bailing on the trip. Your a mouse in a standoff with a cobra.

Juicy Joe is selling sex toys. He always struck me as a bend her over, bang it out in 5 min, don't care if she gets off as long as I do, kinda lay.

So David is a pussy maestro and a good guy. If he wasn't a commitmentphoebe he'd be a catch.

Jackie isn't exactly good at wordsmithing... what she should have said is "Teresa...if you were having a birthday party for one of your children and someone was walking around telling people that one of your children was using drugs in the bathroom, how would you feel?" Even Teresa would be able to see that as a "what if" situation that is similar to what she did. There's always the possibility however, that Teresa would still explode and refuse to see or admit that she was wrong...she's just not capable of being an adult and having a moral compass. I do love how the Bravo producers do a mash up of all her outbursts at other people when they accused Juicy Joe, purveyor of sex toys, of cheating on her...brilliant!

I oddly enjoyed the conversation between Frank and David. I thought it was kind of cute.

I appreciated what Gia said to her mom on the phone. She had common sense.

Otherwise, kind of boring episode lol. 

David isn't in love with Delores...and he obviously has commitment issues. The more she nags him about it the further away he pulls from her. Maybe it just isn't meant to be...and honestly, I just don't understand her obsession with all the cosmetic work. She looks beautiful and her body is perfect...let it be.

It makes me chuckle that the drink Marg always offers guests is a cold brew coffee. I love me some iced coffee and would he thrilled with the offer but what a specific and somewhat unusual thing to offer. She did it in the last episode too. I’ll admit that I have mostly checked out of RHOJ for the past few seasons so I kept wondering if she maybe has her own cold brew brand that she is trying to market via the show - does she? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Why does anyone care if Teresa forgives her? I will never understand why everyone caters to her. She just may be the dumbest HW in the franchise, which is quite an accomplishment, and us constantly mad at something.

The catering to Teresa has really ruined the show.
