S07.E08: All Bets Are Off

[Morgalisa]

That Columbo guy made a statement to Joe about (paraphrasing), "you're taking Teresa's side when I went balls out for you." Hmm. Made me think he has something/knows something about Joe's shady dealings and therefore expects something in return.

I also thought I remember that guy from an epidode with a lunch scene at a restaurant with maybe Rino and Teresa's attorney (who, btw seems shady AF).

Mario called LuAnn "Countless" at the beginning of S3 of RHONY and she was all bent out of shape about it. Simon calling her the "Cuntess" happened at a different time. I'm embarrassed that I even know this! I think it happened in S4. He and Alex were hosting his brother (?) and some other people and hanging out in their Brooklyn background, around the fire pit.

Two separate incidents :)

Ohhhhhh..... Thanks for clarifying!

The Wakiles need to let it go.  No one wants them on the show.  They are DYING to be back on the show. They NEED Tre to reconnect with them. Good on Tre for realizing this and not allowing it to happen.   The Wakiles are fucked because they have a monstrous house mortgage to pay for and they need the Bravo paycheck. Their Bravo gravy train is over and that is the true reason they are so desperate to have Tre accept them into the fold.

Gia should not be camera.  I understand why she is abrasive towards her dad, but we don't need to see this. If taken out of context, one would think she's a spoiled, disrespectful teenager rather than the child of two felons, one of which is an alcoholic.  I feel sorry for her.

I have no sympathy Delores.  Get off your fucking ass and make your own way in life. It is never too late to start over and learn a skill.   

Chris Laurita is beaten up by life.  The body bloat and bags under his eyes are not a good look.  A black water and  popcorn diet can't cure that.

Melissa. Please go fuck yourself. You are boring. Your children are obnoxious.  You do not have a sincere bone in your body.

And did anyone else spy Dorinda at the book signing? 

What's even more surprising to me is the headline/banner for this Bravo item.

"Dorinda Medley Is "Very Proud" of Being Mentioned in Teresa Giudice's Book"

"To my fellow housewives who were here for me: Lisa Vanderpump, NeNe Leakes, Dorinda Medley, Jill Zarin, Teresa and Rino Aprea, and Nicole Napolitano: I want to thank all of you for your support. It means so much to me," Teresa wrote in the acknowledgments section of her book."

Wonder how LVP likes being lumped in with that crew.

At least Dorinda acknowledged that she hasn't read the book.

I think I can feel the Bravo spin.

Chris Colombo, aka 'Chris C' is the son of the late NY mobster, Joe Colombo.  Chris and his brother Anthony are an offshoot of the organized crime family that still carries the name of their late father, New York mob boss Joe Colombo. (one of the "Five Families" of the Cosa Nostra in New York). In 2007 Chris, his brother Anthony, and four other men were charged with committing a host of crimes that include illegal gambling, loansharking, extortion of legitimate businesses, and commercial bribery, much of it intended to benefit a criminal enterprise — what the feds call a racketeering scheme.

I never had a doubt that Joe Giudice and Joe Gorga both have mob business connections.  Joe Giudice is definitely an alcoholic, at least he was prior to serving his sentence. Maybe he'll get rid of that addiction in prison and maybe not. From what I've seen on television, it seems that anything could be bought in prison if a guy has enough money to get what he wants.

Gia has more insight than Teresa -  Gia was so right at the restaurant when she said it'll be good for Joe to go away and appreciate what he has . Teresa keeps making excuses for his drinking and boorish behavior .  I know siblings bicker and fight but that house is going to be chaos with Teresa & the four girls.( unless the absence of drunk Joe and his insults actually calms things down) Teresa never seems to have a handle on discipline with those monsters.

I have to say I'm loving Dolores being on this show, if for no other reason than this - those gorgeous pit bulls.  I hope this will help the RH audience realize that THIS is what the vast majority of pit bulls are like.  Not poor Kingsley.  Not the dogs deliberately abused to be made aggressive and unpredictable.  Her dogs are the epitome of what pit bulls are and have always been.  In the 40's they were considered the prototypical family dog.  Petey from Little Rascals was a pittie.  One of the most decorated military dogs in American history is a pit bull.

So I hope every one of her home scenes includes these sweet gentle loving babies.  https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=Petey+Little+Rascals+Pet+Breed&view=detailv2&&id=25C148348A4FD43310F84AEAD88FCEC4BBC4CA94&selectedIndex=1&ccid=3rBJt0C%2f&simid=607996074097576130&thid=OIP.Mdeb049b740bfb9a6c729300b80f33455o0&ajaxhist=0
