Her lips have taken over her face and she often looks slack-jawed. The over whitening of her teeth literally make them look like she’s under a black light. With so many cast members on an ozempic type drug for weight loss, how will they handle the constant eating on the show? 11 Link to comment
RecoveringLawyer May 6 Share May 6 I cannot look at Fuda. He's trying SO hard to be the next Joey G. He is pathetic. And his lips are disgusting. Not a fan of Teresa's lips or I Dream of Jeannie hair either, but those lips on a guy are even worse than T's lips. No mention of Bill Aydin at all, unless I missed it. That seemed strange, but we also didn't get the Aydin household. 11 1 Link to comment

That seemed strange, but we also didn't get the Aydin household. I said it last year, and this year is no different. John Fuda looks like Bluto from the old Popeye cartoons - he's just not attractive at all. He's very, very, very much a famewhore - I think moreso than even Joe Gorga. He should also be careful about calling someone a "has been" when he's only been on the show for a hot minute. He could very quickly turn into a "never was". I agree with you about Teresa's lips - I caught a few earlier seasons' shows last week, (even though I watched them all back then, too), and in the early seasons, Teresa was just so much prettier with her natural lips and non-spray tanned look.

Also forgot to add to my previous post - I sincerely hope the Aydin's took notice of all the criticism of the over-showing of their kids (especially the youngest annoying daughter) and we don't see a whole lot of them. 8 4 Link to comment
njbchlover May 6 Share May 6 Note to Dolores - maybe cut back some on the onion and garlic in the meatballs and sauce and see how Paulie does with that. I'm also Irish and I cannot tolerate a lot of garlic in anything (my mother NEVER used garlic - I didn't even know what it was until I was a teenager). I am sick for days if I try to eat anything with a lot of garlic. I can tolerate some onion, but not a lot. I love most Italian food, and I make, what I'm told, is very good sauce and meatballs, but I just cut the garlic waaay back, and use just a bit of it. 4 1 Link to comment
Baltimore Betty May 6 Share May 6 I feel like Teresa is going to be odd man out, so many people won't be in the same shot, she is aligning herself with the few people that can stand her. If Margaret does not have a story line this season she should go and take the Fuda's with her. Please do not let the twins become a thing. Please do not let the kids overrun this season. Please do not give Looey camera time this season, I think that is why he wanted a sit down with Fuda, more camera time. Looey is a gas lighter and delusional so it is fun to watch him paint himself in to a corner with the lies he tells then tries to back them up while we all watch the replay. Delores is in another relationship with a man that won't/cannot commit but atleast will show up at events...she likes the unavailable men that have built in excuses. She moved into her boyfriends house with no ring, does not want to get engaged until he is divorced, he has had fourteen years to get divorced and hasn't done yet. Last season it was said they were looking for a house together, something she should not do until he is divorced. The women with the candy table at the party was a total call back to Audriana's christening seasons ago. We see Melissa trying to impress upon her daughter the limited space she will have in her dorm room then we see Teresa's kid with boxes everywhere! I am looking forward to the fight at Rails, probably have to wait till close to the end of the season but I think it will be worth the wait. 5 Link to comment
kristen111 May 6 Share May 6 A lot cringy for my taste tonight. Next week is worse. I don’t even know who’s mad at who .. the hatred amongst them, etc. The show is going in the wrong direction. Scary. What kind of business is in Florida for Looie? Teresa is a dope. Some love bubble she got herself into. 6 3 Link to comment

Couldn't stand that Fuda was attacking Paul. Wish the Fuda's were off the show. The Fudas are trashy. And I couldn't imagine the show would get more trashy, but here we are. Are they talking about nose jobs (Jen Aydin's) in THIS household? As for bad plastic surgery, this franchise has some of the worst. Teresa (especially in the confessionals), Rachel, Melissa, and Margaret are caricatures. Even Dolores (who is on Watch What Happens Live now- she had bigger veneers, and lips, and a cat eye job) is almost there. And Jennifer Aydin. I don't know what Paul's intentions are, but I looked at his IG many months ago (more than 6), and he was tagging gossip sites on his photos. Edited May 6 by ZettaK 9 Link to comment
ZettaK May 6 Share May 6 (edited) Melissa didn't handpick anything in her new house (the white and gray everybody does) like she claimed. Her real style is the one we saw in her previous house- the dark, heavy pseudo baroque. Audrianna got so tall. Edited May 6 by ZettaK 6 Link to comment

stcroix May 6 Share May 6 (edited) I guess I need to go back to the last season to remember who's mad at who and I don't want to. I think there are too many cast members and too many older family members than is needed. Those twins! They've probably always been called 'cute and little and balls of fun' but I don't want to see them now they're just 'spry'. They can take Marge Sr with them. The men on this show are so gross. Fuda-- ugh! Edited May 6 by stcroix 11 Link to comment

dancingdreamer May 6 Share May 6 So messy! I loved it. It should have been 2 hours. Too much of the husbands though. I don't like Paulie, and I never have. I think Delores likes to take good care of her men, he was still cussing as she walked him out of the party. I think Teresa needs a tan 24/7, " I hate sightseeing ". You can stay home and get a tan, and her lips are way too inflated. Coming up showed something about money, now was that on the internet? I quite liked Melissa's house and pool. 5 Link to comment

Dolores goes for unavailable, or emotionally (meaning that they don't want to commit 100%) unavailable men. Melissa's house is nice, although I don't like the exterior. Teresa vacations in Italy (she said Sardinia specifically that summer), and she went to Greece three, or four summers in a row (she was in Mykonos again last summer), but she doesn't like sightseeing....But she was looking for the Chanel boutique in Venice....That's her level... As for Frank revealing that team Melissa (the Gorgas, the Fudas, the Benignos, Frank) met before last season's reunion to plan an attack on Teresa and Louie, that was obvious.

Chatty Cake May 6 Share May 6 I was underwhelmed with the episode. Why is John Fuda intent on arguing with a housewife? I don’t know who is creepier, John or Louie? Joe Benigno looks miserable. Living with Marge is sucking the life out of him. Eeww! Marge Senior. Absolutely disgusting. Those twins are annoying too. You go Paulie! Put that chinless ass in his place. I kind of liked that Rachel and Danielle made up on their own. Whether it’s just for filming or a real friendship, I am all for one less stupid fight. I am beyond over the Gorgas. I don’t care about Antonia. I’m also ready for Teresa to move on. I don’t believe all the lovey crap she is pushing. Louie’s creepiness can’t be overcome. 5 3 Link to comment
ZettaK May 6 Share May 6 (edited) John Fuda just said that Teresa wouldn't have a storyline without him. He knows how to create controversy. He is the perfect HW! I also see in the previews that Margaret is thinking of dumping Joe. Edited May 7 by ZettaK 1 4 Link to comment

snarts May 6 Share May 6 I don't think I can bear watching another season of the husbands thinking this is their show and fighting for camera time by going after Teresa. What Fupa was really saying to Luis is that he's not interested in meeting away from a filmed event. He got an entire makeover for season 2 and his marching orders from Joey Gorga and seems intent on becoming the star of the show. He actually sent out a press release yesterday. Seriously. If it seems like I've focused my ire on Fupa, I have. He and his Disney nosed wife embody everything that's wrong with this show and why it desperately needs a re-boot. 7 5 1 Link to comment
Baltimore Betty May 6 Share May 6 Louie had to go to Florida for business...in this day and age of Zoom nobody has to go to anywhere. Teresa said he had to go because in his line of business things come up quickly...what exactly is his line of business? If Fuda had agreed to speak with him in a coffee shop would that meeting in Florida have happened? Teresa is a moron. I will maintain that Louie had to go to somewhere maybe not really Florida, I do not believe anything that comes out of his mouth. I am doing a rewatch this morning because I waited for so long for the new season and there was so much to look at, I need to focus. The opening scene at Rails should have had Det. Olivia Benson asking Delores questions and that "dun, dun, dun" music thing from Law & Order. 8 1 5 Link to comment
Baltimore Betty May 6 Share May 6 Also, this is how the Italians pronounce Focaccia, The Fuda's sound stupid.

SweetieDarling May 6 Share May 6 Some gems from the Fupa press release: Quote John Fuda, esteemed entrepreneur and philanthropist, has issued a statement in response to recent attempts by his fellow castmates on “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” (RHONJ) to bring up his past in an effort to cast him in a negative light. Esteemed entrepreneur and philanthropist? 🤣 Do we know what he does for a living? I think he's doing a pretty good job of casting himself in a negative light. He doesn't need any help, imo Quote A respected figure in his community, John Fuda has dedicated himself to numerous charitable causes and business endeavors. IOW he can't hold a job Quote “I am grateful for the support of my friends, family, and fans who see me for who I am today – a person dedicated to growth, kindness, and authenticity,” Mr. Fuda added. “I will continue to rise above negativity and remain true to myself.” He's so authentic he got veneers and had liposuction, not to mention his stenciled spray on beard 3 12 Link to comment

JenE4 May 6 Share May 6 I have not watched RHNJ in many years, but I’m desperate to add another show into rotation. so I gave this a shot. I vaguely recall Delores, and of course I know Teresa and Melissa. There’s someone who I thought was Jaqueline—but then realized that is not Jaqueline. I don’t know who these people are or what is happening, but I nearly died when that grandma, excuse me, Nonna, said to her granddaughter who has the most crazy-ass, Groupon, hacked nose job I’ve ever seen, “Oh, you mean nose-job Jen?” I spent that whole party scanning noses to see who else had a nose job. But the only conclusion I can draw is that Nonna is senile and didn’t realize she was insulting her own grand-daughter to her barely nosed face. 2 1 11 Link to comment

But the only conclusion I can draw is that Nonna is senile and didn’t realize she was insulting her own grand-daughter to her barely nosed face. Nah, Nonna's still with it. "Nose-job Jen" called Rachel out last season for having a shitty nose job, and then tried to say she was bonding because she (Jen) also had a shitty nose job. I thought "Nose-job Jen" actually looked really pretty this episode. I usually don't like to comment on people's bodies, but it's really nice to see someone look so fantastic and seemingly be avoiding the thin-making craze. The Fudas add nothing and I could do without them, but his ex and then Theresa using his sex life as a negative is super gross on both their parts. I have no idea what the man enjoys, but saying he likes some ass play as an insult is straight up homophobia, period. I hope Theresa is done with this fucking loser Louie soon. I truly can't stand her, but I don't believe in even shitty women getting their karma from men who claim to love them. He's gross, and brings out the worst in her. Looks like there are going to be lots of shifting alliances this season. Should be interesting. 5 1 Link to comment

Last season it was said they were looking for a house together, something she should not do until he is divorced. I wonder if Dolores has some avoidance issues of her own? With Frank, they were young and he has an issue being faithful. That happens all the time (sadly). But then the next two serious relationships that we know about, the men are also unable to commit to her for one reason or another. It's odd to have this pattern. Dolores is so beautiful and said to be a kind person by those in her life. You would think if anyone could get a good guy to commit, it would be her. Maybe committing scares Dolores too, so she unconsciously goes for men that she can keep at a distance as well? I don't know, but I wish her well. 3 2 Link to comment

Totally on point that Fuda didn't want to meet with Louie away from the cameras, because he's so full of himself with this new-found "fame", that he's buying into the famewhore bullshit. So far, Rachel isn't annoying me too much - I'm glad that she and Danielle met privately and worked out their issues (for now) - if Rachel could be reasonable and adult enough to do that, why couldn't Fuda? He NEEDS to remember that the name of the show is "Real HOUSEWIVES of NJ" - not "Real HousehUSBANDS". I'm wondering if this is another case of the husband wanting to be on TV more than the wife-it sure seems that way! Edited May 6 by njbchlover 7 Link to comment

Oh, there are sooooo many things. If you watched past seasons, you get an inkling into the crazy family dynamic that is the Gorga clan. Personally, I think that before housewives fame, Teresa and Melissa were very much almost the same person-both headstrong, both a little selfish and spoiled and both very competitive. Teresa and her brother were very close, spent a lot of time together and he listened to everything that Teresa said, with her being the older sibling. After he met and married Melissa, probably not so much, so Teresa blames Melissa for that. Teresa is/was very jealous of the fact that Melissa "took Joe away" from her and her parents. Teresa starts doing the RHONJ, and supposedly, Melissa wanted in, but Teresa supposedly blocked it for a few years - not wanting to share her spotlight. Rumor is that Melissa and Joe went behind Teresa's back somehow and got on the show and Teresa was never told until right before filming Melissa and Joe's first season. Since then, it's been a battle of wills, and the eventual fall out from that. Melissa does come across as a nice person, but I think she's better at hiding who she really is than Teresa is. Melissa can be manipulative and she also is very camera aware and likes being the center of attention. I think that's most of their issues, in a nutshell. 5 3 4 Link to comment

Teresa wants Joey in her hip pocket at all times like when they were kids and hates that she has to share him with his wife and kids,.Teresa did 100% of the care of her parents, Joey didn't step up (I have been in this position and it can really give you a chip on your shoulder), and lastly, Teresa wants blind allegiance from everyone in her family and Melissa does not always see situations in the way Teresa sees them. Teresa is a narcissist and her daughters are people pleasers because of it. 16 minutes ago, tvfanatic13 said: What "twins" are everyone talking about? Fessler's aunts?

I cannot tell the difference between any of the dorters other than Gia, they all look like they are 35 years old. 5 Link to comment
