RHONJ finale...OMG


I don't even know how to write about the horror and the evil I saw on The Real Housewives Of New Jersey finale. I guess I take a deep breath and just spit it out without trying to think it out or I will be sick to my stomach. Let's go back an episode to get a feel for this fiasco. The producers of the show threw Teresa into a fight arena with the formidable Caroline Manzo who has done her part all season to make Teresa the villain. If this was done for story lines or ratings, I don't understand, because it hasn't worked. It should have, but, it didn't. Because the viewers are much smarter than Bravo estimates them to be. Teresa did not flip tables or yell 'prostitution whore!' at anyone, but, she stood her ground, refusing to run away and argued her point in a pretty level headed way. When Manzo could not provide a good reason for her hatred of Teresa during the showdown, she resorted to yelling 'You suck!" To which Tre replied, "You suck too!" Humorous in that junior high way, sure, but, you can bet from Manzo's face she had never been told that before. No one had had the balls..until Teresa. And I was yelling, 'Hell, yeah, she sucks!' Loving it.

Having not been able to take Teresa down with misguided and false accusations and blatant dishonest outrage, the producers went a different route for the finale. They out and out lied, got the rest of the cast to lie and flat out set Teresa up. Set up..the real villain, Kim D (it's always a Kim, right?) and her hair extensions of doom takes Tre to an unfamiliar salon before the annual Posh fashion fiasco. We all know no good comes of that thing. That's where Danielle got her extensions ripped out last year. Anyway, just by koinky-dink some bald dude with jacked teeth serves them cocktails. He just happens to know Melissa, she used to dance for him at a strip club. Tre freaks out and doesn't want to hear it. Cut. Now, at the fashion show, baldy with the jacked teeth comes up to the table and says hello to Melissa. Long time, no see, right? Melissa pretends she doesn't know who he is. Tre takes her to the bathroom and fills her in. Melissa suddenly remembers she does know him, but, she wasn't his stripper. She was his bartender for a week while she was innocently teaching second grade. (That teaching job does not add up given her education history, but, we can discuss that later.) Teresa begs Melissa not to call her brother, Melissa's husband, she's worried he'll get in a fight with Baldy and go away..to jail. Jail..omg.

Let's cut to the real shit here. Everybody at the table is texting under the table. Turns out everyone, and I mean EVERYONE knew what was going down, even Melissa. Joe and Ritchie were already out in the parking lot waiting for the confrontation to go down. The only person who didn't know what was happening was Teresa. Serious as a heart attack. You don't believe me? Go HERE and read the account. This is the sickest thing Bravo has pulled yet. Because, yes, it's a tv show, yes, some situations are manipulated, but, this is Teresa's REAL family. Bottom line, Tre got blamed for setting up Melissa as being an ex stripper. A real no no in an Italian family. The situation was made worse when Tre's best friend (who was barely on solid ground) Jacqueline told Melissa that Tre set her up. Even worse...she lied about seeing Tre with the bald guy and hearing him talk about the nasty plan to get Melissa. If that had been true, there would have been footage. It would have been shown. Bravo lives literally for drama. I wonder how Jaqoholic sleeps at night? No wonder she drinks. It covers the guilt of knowing you're a lousy person who sold out your true friend for a few Bravo bucks.

I am so sickened by this whole thing, I can't believe they call this entertainment. I also can't wait for the reunion show when I'm sure Tre will tell them all where to shove it. Mostly Melissa, who damn well knew Tre wasn't in on it, and that repulsive gummy faced Jaquoholic who betrayed her the most. I've heard it's been a year and Teresa has not talked to the Manzo's, the Lauritta's, or her brother and his horrid wife at all. Good. She should erase them from her life. I've heard she's getting a spin off show that doesn't include any of these no account losers. I hope she Bethenny Frankel's the lot of them. I can't believe there are viewers who saw it any other way and I can't believe Bravo insulted us by thinking we would.

Hi DD:) It's been a long time since I have posted. I was disgusted watching this show! Teresa is not a saint but that was plain wrong what Bravo did! Teresa was clearly uncomfortable and didn't want to be involved, Melissa is a terrible actress and a SKANK! It was written all over her face that she knew the bald guy!
She tries to play innocent but she is far from it. As soon as Poison Joe loses his money she is gone!!
Also I can't stand punk Jaqueline & absolutely despise that bulldog Caroline & her loser ass kids!! Caroline makes my ass cheeks hurt!!!!! I am PISSED that they live in my state!

I cannot even explain to you how Teresa's hairline bugs me. She barely has a forehead at all. Its all hair! I have never even watched the show. Not once. But I see them all on the gossip sites. Her fake tan and hairline drive me insane. That Jersey Shore tanning thing is so over. These women remind me of the wives of the gangsters in "Goodfellas"...like they are a joke and don't realize it.

Teresa's unfortunate hairline is of no interest to me. What IS interesting is that beneath that hair is a real person with a heart and a family who was blindsided by her own relatives. Their agenda was to take her down at all costs. Their reward was a few minutes of fame. The fact that she rose above it all is a testimony to her strength. I don't know if I could have done what she did. It has made me a huge fan of hers. I once thought she was dumb. How wrong I was. Ironic that it took her enimies to show me the truth.

WAAAY OFF TOPIC---Just an update on our local sink hole. It has grown to 4 acres. The "MIT" type people have decided it was caused by a leak in the salt dome below it. Gee, that is something anyone in the area could have told them. (Sometimes smart people are worse than stupid people.) Now, what do they plan to do about it? The Texas Brine Co. bought the land, I guess they are responsible. Some really nice mega houses were built in this area. What do you do with a 4 acre hole?

Miss Tia said...

oh the texas brine company i believe are out in medina county doing tests before they start fracking....dunno if that's the exact company name, but a friend said it was a brine company from texas doing testing outside her house, basically setting off little earthquakes.....

that hole is just gonna keep growing!!!! SCARY!!!!! how far are you from the hole??

CJ said...

From NPR. It's starting in my general part of the world. Oh yeah, another Texas company! I'll let y'all know when the ground starts shaking around here. (this is about 30 miles from the country's first oil well drilled by Edwin Drake in 1859)


"…Until now, the Utica and Mar­cel­lus for­ma­tions were largely untapped in the upper­most cor­ner of north­west­ern Penn­syl­va­nia and a broad swath that included more than 20 coun­ties in the south­east­ern part of the state.

That changed this sum­mer, at least in Craw­ford County, when rigs and crews work­ing for Texas-based Range Resources arrived in this rural town­ship of about 850 people.

Range Resources, which devel­oped some of the state’s first suc­cess­ful wells into the Mar­cel­lus Shale, drilled the Craw­ford County well in July, and is pre­pared to begin hydrofrac­tur­ing this week.

That process, some­times called frack­ing, uses mas­sive amounts of water and small amounts of sand and chem­i­cals to frac­ture the rock for­ma­tion and release the gas trapped in the shale."

The sink hole is about 30 miles from my house. I guess it will only get as big as the salt dome, but those salt domes came be huge. And there are many of them around this area. And by this area, I mean south La. I'll let you know when I go down!

GO TRE!!!!

Erin said...

Wow DD! When I watched the show, I was thinking about you and wondering what you would have to say. You did not disappoint! What I don't understand is how Tre can go along with everything that Bravo did to her. Is it in her contract that she can't say anything? It must be. Because it sure would be tempting to me to clear my name if I were in her shoes. Can't wait for the reunion and your thoughts!

So sorry about the sink hole Jane! How scary that must be!!

Dirty Disher said...

Erin, go to that link I gave in the post and also my link marked "Mensa IQ". A little inside joke there, but, you will find out the truth and why I love NJ. The real story and drama is all behind the scenes and it is somethin'!

PS, Katfish and Rich have been dumped. So has Jaqohoic and Chris. They will not be on next season. Katfish may come back as an extra, but, she is no longer a housewife. I don't think Caroline is coming back either. I despise the Manzo kids. I want them gone and it looks like they will be.

CJ said...

Didn't realize they had already dumped (cleaned up) the cast. Kathy & Jaq really won't be missed. Neither one of them had much of a story line this season. Yawn...

Not sure after watching the last show who to believe. None of them have any listening comprehension skills. Kim D was included to stir the shit pot & boy did she mix it up.

Need to check your links.

Any info on who the new housewifes will be on RHOBH? After seeing the promo, doesn't look like they are all back.

CJ said...

DD ... have I gone blind? Where is your link for "mensa IQ"

Erin said...

I read the link you provided. So interesting! But I still don't understand how Tre can go along with it now. She's been on Andy's show and acts like everything is great. I don't think I could do that if I had been set up like that.

So glad the Manzos and Jaq are out. Kathy didn't bother me so much though. Her husband was so outrageous and gross that he cracked me up.

I couldn't find the Mensa link either.

Dirty Disher said...

CJ its on the side bar links. Mensa IQ site. You will love it there. They have the real scoop.

Erin, Tre is under contract. She also needs the show to sell her products. For now.

Dirty Disher said...

..Its right under Daily Crabbie and Last Word.

CJ said...

Thanks! I'll go check it out.

Like I've tried to explain to people why I'm so invested in a trailer trash show about not so real women, the real story is behind the scenes and it is juicy. You just have to do your homework and I have. There is no way I could handle what Teresa Giudice has handled in the past two years.
