Sharonana December 10, 2019 Share December 10, 2019 I know it's been a very long time since someone has posted in this thread, but I started rewatching RHONJ from season 1. I'm up to season 4. I didn't like Theresa then, and I like her even less now. She really is a manipulative lil witch and dumber than a box of rocks. Melissa doesn't bother me, and I really like Caroline Manzo. She was/is a straight shooter and that's how I like people to be with me. I miss Rosie. She was a hoot and a half. I am so enjoying the older seasons much, much more. What has happened to all the howives shows? And that's all I got to say about that. 🤷♀️😂 1 9 Link to comment
Sharonana December 11, 2019 Share December 11, 2019 The farther I get into season 4, the more I scream at Teresa on my teeeeeveeeee! 🤣 Damn but she just looks for a fight in everything anyone says or does. She is so completely unaware of how obtuse and obnoxious she is. Say what you will about Caroline, but she was spot on about her assessment of the Teresa/Joe situation. Joe got caught up doing illegal stuff in order to placate his spend happy wife. Caroline predicted what would happen...someone would end up jail. She said "you heard it here first." 😉 It's weird watching now that we know the outcome. Joe started changing around season 2-3. He was in a pickle that's for sure! I wonder if the girls look back on any of these shows and see how poorly they behaved. 😱 1 7 Link to comment
Hiyo December 14, 2019 Share December 14, 2019 For anybody who hasn't seen seasons 1 and 2, I think this pretty much sums them up. 3 4 Link to comment
Stats Queen June 19, 2020 Share June 19, 2020 I’m stuck at home (thank you Rona) and had wrist surgery (thank you genetics - 9th orthopedic surgery in 11 years - next one is free I have my punch card, 10th surgery is free 😜). So I haven’t been able to do anything so I have been rewatching RHONJ from the beginning- I just finished Season 4. My notes/observations: 1. Watching the show is like reading historical fiction, you know the outcome - there were so many things that were said/happened that were quite prescient- especially Joe and Teresa the felons. So you see certain actions and comments and you are like -oh yeah, that makes sense. 2. Teresa has never in her life accepted responsibility for anything. It is always someone else’s fault. It is constant -my brother did this, my sisters in law did this, Jacqueline did this, never her role in anything, it is always someone else’s actions. Only a trained clinical psychologist who has worked with someone can assign them a diagnosis from DSM - but man, she really shows signs of having issues which all involve it being someone else’s problem - whether it is impulsive disorder, true narcissistic personality disorder or a true sociopath (I think the latter but I’m an organizational psychologist not a clinical psychologist. People constantly had to explain to her what normal human reactions should look like. She had no clue. IMO she just started trying to mimic normal behavior because she doesn’t know what that is. 3. my hubby long gave up a long, long time ago trying to understand why I watch these shows, but two things he mistakenly entered the room and saw and reacted to were: a. Melissa explaining to Antonia (who was maybe 5) that Christmas was Jesus’ birthday and Antonia asking how old Jesus was and I think Melissa responded that he was 69 - I probably have the number wrong, it is was funny and hubby laughed. b. A segment in season 4 when Caroline’s sons were making nasty comments about fat girls and hubby said “that’s a bunch of classy people”. I responded that this family was the most classy of all the families (in my initial opinion). 4. I was And am still a Caroline fan but she really liked to run over others with her opinions. At one of the reunions she spoke for Jacqueline instead of letting Jacqueline speak for herself. kudos to her because the next season she said she had been a bitch. My issue was that she could see the writing on the wall, but we, as humans, have to live and learn. It is hard when you see your kids or people you love involved in situations and you know the outcome not to say something- she couldn’t help herself. Personal Experiences are what develop us human beings, other Persons’ experiences are their experiences, not our own. 5. I know there is not a lot of love for Melissa on this forum, but she really did sacrifice a lot because of Teresa being “family”.. And her husbands only sister (yet alone sibling). 6. I’ll take my anonymous, not eventual life in suburbia over being a reality star (however, my life really needs more excitement). 6 Link to comment
Hiyo June 27, 2020 Share June 27, 2020 (edited) I know these shows have their wonky manipulative editing, but yoikes on this one...check out the really bad dubbing used to make it seem like it was part of the conversation at the 02:57 mark...

I’ll take my anonymous, not eventual life in suburbia over being a reality star (however, my life really needs more excitement). I found many things about Caroline likeable but found her children awful. More so considering the way she’d run her mouth about other people’s kids. Her own children were and are very entitled. Danielle’s kids have turned out fine. Teresa’s kids were terrors but she knew that when she agreed to watch them. I remember feeling badly for Caroline on a rewatch because it seemed like others (Jacq, Dina, Teresa) manipulated her Mama Bear I’ll protect you personality. It seemed like oh I’ll hide behind Caroline and let her fight. Then later Caroline saw the light, many lights. The fact she could own up to her behavior was very admirable. I think I am alone in this but Melissa falls in to the easy to pick on category so I’ve never found her as awful as others have. I read her book, I know this won’t make much sense but I don’t believe she’s awful inside or has the bad core so many of the others have. Reading about her life made me understand how she could end up with the husband she did, why she continues to stay even though now she has more money coming in than he does. I can’t imagine how much she’s put up with for the sake of “family”. On 6/27/2020 at 6:03 AM, Hiyo said: Also, Kim G is trying to get a permanent spot on this show in this scene like her life depends on it... Absolutely! I do think she’s been the only one to understand the wealth and campiness though. I loved her house. One more thing I’d like to add about Caroline is in retrospect I wonder how much of her behavior stems from her upbringing. Not much was ever really stated but it seemed like she shouldered a lot for her siblings and that is it’s own never really discussed dynamic.

VioletWitch September 25, 2020 Share September 25, 2020 (edited) Doing a rewatch now 🙂 When I first watched i thought Ashlee was a brat. After rewatching, I have to give her a bit of a break. For starters, Jacqueline slyly needles her, waits for her to blow up, and then starts the “poor me” act. In one scene Jacqueline whispers to her daughter with a smirk “You looked just like Grandma walking in”. Ashlee is upset because the person she is talking about is overweight and old. They get into fight and Ashlee is thrown out of the house. Also, the Manzo kids (who are older than Ashlee) love to lecture her about responsibility... while living at home with their wealthy parents and cycling through careers Edited September 25, 2020 by VioletWitch 2 13 Link to comment

After noticing it on a re-watch I was kind of horrified I didn’t pick up on it all the first time around. Then I wondered if this is what shows up on camera, I don’t want to see how Ashlee is treated off camera. The entitlement and attitude of the Manzo kids always bugs. 6 Link to comment
JAYJAY1979 November 20, 2020 Share November 20, 2020 I recall one scene where Ashlee is having dinner at a restaurant with Jacqueline, Chris, her dad and step mom. It was going well..but Jacqueline needles Ashlee about something..and Ashlee responds. Than Jacqueline plays victim..and kicks Ashlee out. Jacqueline resented Ashlee and always viewed her as a reminder of her past. Especially once she married Chris and had her 2 sons. No wonder Ashlee acted up. Not that I excuse it, but I understand. 11 Link to comment

J80134 April 4, 2021 Share April 4, 2021 Marathoning all the seasons. Tre hasn't grown one bit as a person. I have never, would never, not in my vocabulary, not that person, always does the right thing, didn't spread a rumor just shared what i heard, I loooooove you. All said in her high, screechy voice that is her tell for lying/exaggerating. She also does that thing where she'll ask people a question ending with "right?" To prompt the other person to back up her lies. I've never hurt you, right? I didn't say that , right? It doesn't really matter if they agree, because its a declaration and agreement will be assumed. She love bombs her friends in the beginning, all in and like family, but the second they dare to not take everything she says at face value, she's done with their traitor agenda and demonizes them to all who will listen. She uses the concept of unconditional love as a weapon. No matter how shitty she is, you don't get to be mad. Of course, she can be mad at you for any little thing. She repeats the same things in an effort to make others (and maybe herself) believe its true. Her favorite is.. I don't hold grudges. Um, yeah, and girls don't poop. She turns the conversation to herself at every opportunity. You could tell her you were getting your leg amputated and she'd say, at least its just your leg, imagine having your whole life taken from you when you did nothing to deserve it. Poor me, blah, blah, blah She cuts off anyone that is a threat to her concocted world. Truth tellers aren't welcome. You either support Tres fantasy version of herself, or your persona non gratis. Tre reminds me so much of my NPD ex. There is no point in arguing, trying to have them take responsibility, exposing their lies or trying to help them see they're wrong. Any break through is as fake as the hollow apology they'll give when they decide its the only remaining option to come out "on top". Tre believes she is stealth in her deflecting, reflecting, denial tactics, but I find her totally predictable. 1 10 Link to comment
Marley April 5, 2021 Share April 5, 2021 I’m watching the early seasons of the show cause there’s nothing else on and I didn’t really watch the very beginning and omg Danielle is such a crazy bitch. Just watched the episode where Danielle first goes to the Brownstone and she arrives with some crackhead Danny. She makes a huge scene and starts shit pretending like she was kicked out somehow. When she created the whole crazy mess. She really thinks she’s some hot shit and it’s embarrassing to watch her. Danielle is mentally unstable. She’s horrible with her daughters too.

snarts May 25, 2021 Share May 25, 2021 (edited) So much for Caroline Manzo's "Let me tell you about my family. We’re as thick as thieves, and we protect each other ’til the end." She writes a letter praising Tommy Manzo as kind & caring. He's the ex-husband of her actual sister, Dina and he's accused of attacking Dina and her then fiance and hiring a hitman to beat up the same guy a couple years earlier. Currently charged with both state & federal charges. Caroline wrote a letter on his behalf, I guess when she said family, she meant her husband's family rather than her own. Sad. Makes even more sense now why Dina doesn't speak to her. https://realityblurb.com/2021/05/24/caroline-manzo-supports-tommy-manzo-after-hes-accused-of-attacking-her-sister-dina-manzo-rhonj-alum-writes-letter-praising-him-as-kind-and-caring/ https://www.nj.com/monmouth/2021/05/ex-husband-of-rhonjs-dina-manzo-freed-from-jail-to-await-trial-in-baseball-bat-attack.html Edited May 25, 2021 by snarts More details in second linked article 1 2 Link to comment

Chatty Cake December 26, 2022 Share December 26, 2022 The season three Christmas episodes were on over the weekend. Jacqueline was once a good friend to Tre. It’s kind of sad how south things went. Kathy was there to stir up shit with Teresa not to make peace like she claimed. She had a sly smile on her face prior to saying hello to her at Melissa’s Christmas party. Caroline and the Manzos seemed to become bigger assholes as the seasons went on but I do think if Teresa hadn’t bad mouthed her in her book, they could have maintained a friendship. Joe and Melissa were really impressed with themselves and thought they should be the stars of the show.

Looking back at the early days I think there was too much bad blood for them to ever be in a good place. That’s really the core issue. Too many deep seeded family issues that will never be resolved due to their lack of self awareness, willing to take accountability for themselves, their behavior, the way they’ve treated each other. I’ve always been curious about Jacqueline. The issues with Ashley seemed to stem from her own emotional immaturity but with friends she would turn on someone quick. She seemed to really enjoy needling others. The friendship with Danielle was much more than shown. As Danielle stated which was later proven to be true, she did a lot for Ashley, took her to school, helped her out. With Teresa she manipulated a lot and acted like it was a personal attack on their friendship when she didn’t want to discuss legal issues on camera. I don’t believe Teresa to be smart enough to realize it was all an attempt to get show content or that by then she realized Jacqueline wasn’t trustworthy? I don’t know. I’m just surprised how more I notice on every re-watch. Kathy was brought on to stir but despite how annoying the Wakiles could be, I thought their kids were very well behaved. They seemed to appreciate everything they had. Their Christmas seemed to focus less on gifts which I liked. Kathy’s baking book is good. We should have a housewives book thread because so many are actually good. I’m not sure Teresa would’ve stayed friendly with Caroline. Between the vacation fight where the boys got arrested, Teresa’s allegiance and closeness to Dina, also with the spin off, her radio show, her own endeavors Caroline was getting too big of a head. Another random thing that bugs is for all the “I told you so’s” when someone genuinely cares for you they discuss those things with you not a tv, book or radio audience. Joe and Melissa thought they were going to be the stars! There were even posts back in the day about how much nicer Melissa’s house is, how we were all going to be shocked. Yes, I loved the cardboard sink! 3 2 Link to comment

Jacqueline Laurita claims Melissa is a liar (who lies easily and convincingly) who never wanted to reconcile with Teresa and used the other HWs in order to serve her purpose. The four nose jobs comment was to show this. Melissa told Andy Cohen she didn't even have one, and it was contouring. Jackie said she had four (back then).

Chatty Cake January 29, 2023 Share January 29, 2023 There’s an old season airing today. Gross Jackie is saying she will command respect from Teresa. 🤣 Wrong Jackass. This is the season before the Evan rumor. 3 Link to comment

Jacqueline may be thirsty but I believe her. Melissa wanted on the show so bad and was jealous that Tre had the show. She never wanted to make peace with her. She wanted to become the star and leave Teresa in the dust. Too bad for her the show didn’t even film while Tre was away. It’s high time Bravo dumps Melissa. 4 Link to comment

I believe most of the dirt they all say about each other. The Gorgas were thirsty and starved, wanted to steal the show. 4 Link to comment
