September 10, 2012 4:50 pm Bravo…
Teresa and Joe Giudice… “See ya! I got my own spinoff show… you guys can go make up your own stories about yerselves now!”
Hi Baby Dolls!
It was so weird to see the girls going back to school this episode since that’s what they did last week, but a whole year later! Milania just started 1st grade, Gabriella went into 2nd grade, and Gia is in 6th! I’m glad you got to see some of my Gabriella’s personality. I told you she’s not shy with her sisters, she just doesn’t run for the cameras! She is so funny and she’s like an old soul. The things she says amaze me. I love her, like I love all my girls. I’m just happy you got to see a little more of her this week.
I also loved seeing them with Antonia and Melissa. Milania and Antonia have been best friends since the day they were born, and it hurts Milania a lot not to get to see her cousin as much as she used to. Since Melissa is so much younger than her sisters, my girls are the closest cousins that Antonia has. I love that little girl so much and would do anything to have her over more. We’ll keep inviting her and our door is always open. Hopefully her mama will let us have a play date soon.
We’ve haven’t filmed in a year, and coincidentally, we haven’t seen Melissa and her kids in a year (except for Melissa’s solo appearance at Gia and Milania’s birthday party in January).
Maybe if the cameras come back around, we’ll see “all-about-family Melissa” again too. Fingers crossed!
So I had my Fabellini launch party after the Napa trip. I didn’t invite Jacqueline, because I didn’t want her drama there. You’ll see in the next few episodes, Jacqueline was not ready to be friends with me again. She was… well, you can watch and decide for yourself. She did hurt me. (I can’t believe I said “hurted” on TV! Oh my gosh! That’s what happens when I think in Italian but speak in English!) Caroline, well, that’s obvious. I invited Kathy, but she was in D.C. with her family.
And of course I invited Melissa and my brother. They chose not to come. I haven’t seen my brother, for a whole year, until the reunion this past Friday… you’ll see what happens there… Yes, I did lose my voice, yes I did sing On Display (I hope those two things aren’t related!), and yes it was a reunion to remember!
I invited all of my friends to my Fabellini party, which includes and always has included Dina. I invited other Housewives from other cities, my best friends from In Touch, Andy was invited, everyone I love! We had it at the Brotherhood Winery where Fabellini is made, and it’s an hour and a half outside of Manhattan, so I get why everyone couldn’t come. I was delighted to see Dina though, as we’re always there for each other.
I have been friends with Dina for over 15 years — I met her when she was pregnant with Lexi! — and I was friends with her first. She introduced me to her family. She’s Audriana’s godmother. When she decided to leave the RHONJ show, I publicly and privately supported her, as I do with everything she does. I think she’s beautiful and talented, and I love her. When she had a falling out with Caroline, she stopped talking to me too for a while, not because we were fighting, but because she knew I had to film with Caroline and Jacqueline and she didn’t want to put me in the middle.
I have Dina’s back, but I learned a long time ago not to take sides in family fights, because when the family makes up, you look like the jerk. I have always hoped Dina and Caroline, and Caroline and her other siblings, would get along. For Caroline to say I have anything to do with her and her family’s fights is just crazy. Crazy, crazy, crazy. Dina said herself I had nothing to do with it. I don’t know why Caroline can’t just own up to her own problems, but I guess blaming me for everything helps her sleep at night.
I’m happy that the Fabellini party was such a success and the drink itself too! It’s doing so well and we’re about to go national! We have a new website with information about the drink (it’s only 127 calories per serving with 12% alcohol!) and where to buy it. Thank you all for supporting me… for better or for worse! Here’s to a future full of better!
PS: Last night on Watch What Happens Live, I high-fived Perez Hilton for losing weight naturally and not getting a lapband.
I know Lauren thought it was a random dig at her, and I’m sorry for that. It came from a big conversation we all had at the reunion. You’ll have to wait and see what we said, but I didn’t mean for it to spill over. I guess I’m still a little delirious from a weekend of reunion madness…
Follow me on Twitter @Teresa_Giudice and check out my website for my latest appearance information and news about my Milania haircare line.
Love, love, love you all!
Tanti Baci,
Teresa xx
All Anout Family Melissa—thems fighting words lol!
OK Teresa eggmitted that she hurted her voice, let’s see how long this is played out by the peeps who are not bi lingual
Actually, I thought it was just another delightful and unexpected “Teresa-ism” to add to the collection!
Well, I am bi lingual and I do not speak like Tre. I spent 3 years in school in England and one year in France. But, the majority of my life and education has been in the US. So I understand being bi lingual. My daughter in law is Dutch and moved to the US at age 22. Her English is excellent! I know many, many bi lingual people and not one of them speaks anything close to the way that Tre speaks.
If Tre is fluent in Italian, why did she have to ask Joe how to say balcony when they were in Italy. Joe had to tell her 3 times how to say it!
Because there are many regional dialects in Italy. My family in Reggio speaks differently from the ones in Milan and Matera, and forget about the cousins from Naples!
Reggio Calabria right here baabeee!
Representing Rome and Naples! And yes, the dialects can almost be different languages. e.g. Milan v Sicilian.
My family is from Naples, too, and Bari.
Love the Barese dialect! It’s like a song.
calabresas holla!!!
WOOHOO!
My family speaks dialect, which is NOTHING like Italianissimo, it might as well be another friggin language
in northern Italy it is called speck. (trivia)
Hey you have famliy in matera. i dont her that much I have family everywhere now.But im half siclian and from tricarico.
*hear
Well aren’t you special Kate H. Good for you!
It was bidet, not balconey, just so you know. And btw it wasn’t 3 times it was once and Joe didn’t know how it say it either, lol.
I am bi lingual and I mess up like Teresa all the time.. Shoot me!
Lena,
My parents were born in Italy. My mom came here when she was 21, and my father came here when he was 15. My mother makes mistakes like Teresa too. We always laugh. She is in her 60′s, and she speaks fluent English. Just want you to know I get what you mean. BTW… I speak fluent Italian as well. Peace.
My mom messes up the english language all the time too. She came here when she was 20 from italy. She says things like ‘this is cannot be’ and ‘u better listent to me’. We always laugh. Seeing her write in english is the icing on the cake. I personally dont mind when teresa messes up, it is comedic. On season one, everyone (including the cast) adored her language mishaps. As i’ve said before, the best was when T said norwegian, and instigor.
My mom used to say Arthur Creatures instead of Arthur Treacher’s Fish and Chips. She was the bestest!
I had a roomate once whose Boyfriend was Philipino learned English in his 40s he was a hoot He couldnt understand Amercian Slang he was lost on “Play it by the Ear ”
he use to say “Shouldnt it be play it by the Eye” since you waiting to see what happens.
To this day In his honor (he passed away last yr) i still call brocoli Bro-co-lie
No need to get personal and nasty here! We all comment as we see it and keep our comments directed at the people on the show, not other poster’s.
She didn’t say anything nasty. People who are bilingual are different. Just because it’s easy for you, doesn’t mean it can be easy for another person. You came across as if to say “If I can do it, Teresa can”.
I didn’t get nasty. Trust me, you can tell when I’m nasty and then SH gives me the smack down. I made a comment. Your reply is confusing. When you say bilingual, is English your first language or not. Frankly, studying 3 years in England (where last I checked they speak English) and 1 year in France is not the same as a first language for a 5 year old, so I am unclear if we are even on the same page. As far as your daughter in law, who came here at age 22, it depends on how long she is in this country. No matter how long, however, I am skeptical that someone from another country who came here at age 22 will ever know the colloquialisms used herein. It’s virtually impossible.
^ agree Lena and a shout out to all of us who are not “special”
Lena me too,i prob shouldnt say this but i say sandwhich just like T.lol
I’m not explaining this again KateH, so ur right! ur right! I was born in Italy and speak fluent Italian, but u know better than I regarding Teresa’s ability to speak Italian. I clearly misunderstood the entire time she was in Italy and the exchanges she has with her parents. Clearly u have better credentials to judge her ability to speak Italian than I.
LOL @ Antonella
A second LOL at Antonella. Always enjoy your Italian insights.
So what your saying is that Teresa not only screws up the English language but Italian as well. She is an equal opportunity offender.
I missed the part where I said she screws up Italian, but in fact she does.
I took a wild guess! LOL.
I had heard that from Italian speakers that watch the show to.
Hurted has to be my favorite flub up.
I know for sure Joe’s Spanish sucks big time.
Only spanish I know is uno Doce tres taco and Gordito and I could tell Juicys spanish sucked.
Some people’s spelling and grammar are terrible here and almost everyone is gracious about it.
Just saying. Glass houses and all that.
Candace: Some people are using various communication devices which do not lend themselves to correct grammar. Because of this fact, much re correct grammar has been overlooked. Hopefully, you will do same. SH
Lighten up it was a joke.
Wow I tell you what Ill send you some Aloha Spirit you know the kind you say I need so I wont Judge to much
Lol gilty…its all in fun.we type fast because we have other things to do…..this is fun. my last comment i was eating pie(you understand no lapband here) and typing,i always forget to reread…..list goes on.happy site
I can’t help the typos sometimes because I use an IPAD and it keeps finishing words for me because it thinks I can’t spell. And my fingers are too big to click on the miniscule “x” next to the IPAD word so I just leave it if it’s close enough. This has been the most boring comment, sorry.
Antonella, I do not slam you personally. I keep my posts directed at the people on the shows and call it as I see it. I would appreciate you doing the same! If you don’t like what I post, just ignore me, as I will ignore you in the future!
Ok, here’s the problem, u responded to my post AND on another thread u commented about Tree’s supporters. I don’t make personal comments UNLESS someone attributes something to me that I did not say OR someone starts snarking about Tree’s supporters instead of focusing on the stars. So let’s not get it twisted.
Antonella, I just want you to know that I love your spunk!!! Lol
Antonella should be on the show.
If you argue with calabresas, you will lose. Wills of steel! (Thanks mom. It’s helped alot over the years.)
Haha, known as “thick skulls”
Wow. She can write to you like that and get away with it?
Worldgirl and Kate H: we are not housewives, we are commenters. We do not attack each other or accuse each other and all the other stuff you two have been doing for the past two days. Miss SH must be entertained by you two or else you would have been “proofed” already. Don’t bother accusing me of some dumb sh*t either. Comment or go away.
pj: The entertainment aspect is no longer “entertaining”! Just so ya know! LOL!! TFC!! SH
Oh thank gaawwd!
O.M.G.!!! This nonsense AGAIN!?!?! It’s not that Tre is just bilingual – it’s that her first language was Italian and she speaks Italian with her parents all the time. To switch back and forth from English and Italian like that on a daily basis, of course she is going to trip up every now and then. BIG DEAAAAAAALLLLLLLL!!!
Just please, please, PLEASE don’t start questioning the way Tre pronounces her last name!!! Ugh!!! …just beating the dead horse.
Her voice Hurted my ears
My BIL comes from France. French was his first language. His parents and entire family speak French. He moved to the U.S. when he was about 5. His English is impeccible. He flip-flops easily between English and French without a problem. I also know many, many people who were born in other countries and English was their second language. I’ve yet to meet someone like Tree, who mangles the English language.
Well you’re invited to Christmas at my house so you can meet the clan. When you come to this Country and grow up in a neighborhood that is pretty much self contained, you go to school for the first day and can’t figure out why the other kids don’t understand some of your words. Also in depends on when you came here. I was taught that your speech fully develops at age 6 to 8 so if you learn the language before that age, you don’t have an accent. I don’t have an accent, but I dream in Italian and I think in Italian, so my verbal translations are sometimes funny to a native speaker. I don’t say turn the light on or off. I say open/close the light, etc.
And when did Tree supposedly come to the U.S.?? I do agree that there are little things said that are lost in the translation occasionally, but I’ve never heard people attribute it to “just coming off the boat”, etc… Tree uses it as an excuse when the fact is that her language skills are lacking.
Are we considering Paterson a foreign country?
Does it have a KFC if not its Iffy if it part of the Us
lisa the irish dragon. i luv luv luv your comment. soooooooo funnnny
In my opinion, Teresa’s “language skills” are superior to anyone who is not multilingual.
Teresa doesn’t need to make excuses; indeed, she should be taking credit! Her occasional flubs are entirely charming and they really make watching the show much more enjoyable!
Well, Caro and MeGo mispronounce words, too. What’s their excuse?
Why did Bravo let the stripper do so many takes on eggmit?
I’m sure Bravo has a whole Li–berry full of eggmitts
Oh they are stupid Only Tre gets a free pass
eggsactly!
When she was packing for Napa, Jacqueline asked Chris what the “artinery” was. Should have been itinerary. They all do it.
Noneof these people are scholars and I dont think they claim to be. What difference does it make if they flub a word or two? And despite the heavy handed bravo scripting, they arent actors either. I think we realized a long time ago that these NJ wives and husbands are not the upper crust of civilization. I personally just dont care if they speak properly or not. They all get a free pass from me on that one.
yes meatball mom. but she was smashed.
Mel was going to be a teacher lind glad she doesnt teach but then again,noone is perfect sometimes ppl are better at things then others…
Donewithbravo – come to Miami some time and you will hear people mangle the English language. And I’m talking about people who were born here and went to school here. If all your friends and family mispronounce the same, and you pick up on it, it unfortunately becomes the norm. I can’t tell you how many times I have to keep correcting my 13 yr old b/c he says “mines” instead of “mine.” It drives me absolutely crazy.
Really?? I’ve never been to Miami, but I’m living on the Gulf in FL and wishing I could live closer to the ocean………
Well you’ll get a taste of it this week with the premiere of RHWOM on Thursday. I’m hoping it’s better than last season since it really wasn’t intended to be a Housewives show.
I didn’t watch the Miami show last time and I certainly won’t tune in this time. It looks worse than the D.C. show.
Not to continue to beat this poor dead horse,BUT….Melissa has a college degree in education and English is her first and ONLY language, so really. LIBERRY?
Antonella — my family always says “open/close the light” as well. It all does depend on when you came here and how enclosed your community was. I know people here for 20 years who cannot speak English, period. Other Europeans come here already educated in multiple languages. Comparing one person’s experience to another is not apples to apples.
My Dad is very difficult to understand, even after 30 years he sounds like Teresa’s father.
My mother, may she rest in peace was the same Antonella! My daddy used to leave the toilet seat up and one day she got fed up and left him a message on the underside of the toilet seat. She wrote it in her best ingles it read “Put mi dawn estupid!” We still chuckle about this to this day.
LOVE THAT! I lost my mom too. I used to love when she would say in Italian/English, “Antonella vai al storo” and use English for store.
It’s like Tre says it what makes her who she is and she is not going to change it, my mom used to say the same. lol
My brother married into a Swedish family at family gatherings they all got together and spoke Swedish I always knew when they were talking about me they would say my name in english and nod their heads. dead give away.
Love that!! You all are cracking me up. LMAO. My mother is Calabrese and my father is Abruzese and boy are their dialects completely different. I grew up in Brooklyn surrounded mostly by the Calabrese relatives. I can still remember hearing them say, “Parko carro ya!” or “E suono busy!” or “Mangio u Sang-weech!” Although I am an American born and consider myself to understand our language and write/speak well, I still say, “Close the Light!” Go figure! One word, however, that really erks me when pronounced incorrectly by people who are educated and some are even teachers, is the word Supposedly and incorrectly pronounced Suppose-ub-ly…..Grrrrr!
Would the phrase “crack of dawn” confuse your dad? My husband always says “I dont even know Dawn” when I say it.
I love love love when my boyfriend says “I’m fixin to leave” haha
IN the South, a term commonly heard is “cut off the light.” Just as common and rather puzzling as it really doesn’t make sense is “Cut the light ON.” How exactly would you cut something on? There is weirdness in all languages and slang.
Language is fun! I am going to try to work in “cut the light on” tomorrow at work.
Ha! Show’s how cultured I am. I thought “cut the light on” was said throughout the US!
I gotta post this one for my Antonella. Its about lights being on and stuff so…
Well we do t cut the lights,but we do cut the cheese!
lol. lots of videos about that.too many to choose
May I recommend a you tube video called Yoga farts?
pretty sure this aint a fart.
I still say I am” fixing to” and You’all and i havent lived int he south for 20 yrs but sadly my southern accent has disappeared.
MP IT says Video is too small
What about this “right over yonder” place? Everything down here is either right over yonder or… my favorite.. up the road a fur(far) piece. And every time it rains its always up a storm or ifn its hot its hotter than blue blazes. But I think everybody says colder than a witches titty in a brass bra. right?
Yup, “Right down yonda” is how my NC family pronounces it. Much to my husband’s annoyance I try to pronounce words the Jersey way when I am making italian food…I doubt I am very convincing
..Y’all!
Can she bring sprinkle cookies to your party???
I can agree with this. I haven’t lived in Germany for 23 years and while I normally dream in both languages (other people are speaking English and I answer in German), I do catch myself thinking and reacting, in German and at times can find it hard to find the applicable word in English. It also can be a challenge to place words properly in sentences. And I speak English 100% of the time as my family does not speak German with the exception of a few curse words.
Yes, yes, yes, regardling the light. I do the same and my friends always look at me weird. I’m also good for “look at the floor” but when you are outside, it’s ground….LOL LOL
Well since there are all sorts of “experts” on this subject here. I will just weigh in and say this, my 93 yr old grandmother is a first generation Polish American and she still speaks Polish fluently and on occasion screws up when speaking English. I cant tell you how many times I have been on the phone with her and she will be speaking to me in English and slip right into speaking Polish and funny thing about that, I cant speak Polish but I understand what she is saying and she has “flubbed” a few words here and there and always attributed it to being bi lingual. So I dont think its so far fetched that Teresa would have the same problem. I think alot of first generation Americans have that issue.
I could understand slipping back and forth into both languages, but to be unable to speak English coherently is what baffles me.
coherent enough to be a TV star and best selling author..of books…. times THREE…so…….yeah……
I think being a “tv star” hardly speaks to someone’s intelligence. Kermit the frog was a tv star.
I don’t want to burst ur bubble, but Kermit is a puppet.
Well let a country mountain grown gal speak on this for a minute. I aint never been nowheres but here. I only speak ONE language. But I LOOOOOVE accents. Really kinda obsessed. And the best part of accents is when the other language person tweeks the translation. I think its precious. Like when Borat says he wants to make sexy time. Anyway I love yall. bye for now.
HAHAHAHA. I missed MadePiley something fierce!
I missed you too Antonella.
High Five MP! Do not shrink me gypsy!
I live in east TN and when I say “baste” as in baste a turkey, they all think I said “beast”
wherebouts PJ? I’m near Bristol
Knoxville:)
I do it all the time when speaking with my Mom in Polish/English or Ponglish as we call it. If I can’t come p with the word in I want in one language my brain naturally flips to the other and I don’t always realize I’ve done it until I get stared at like I’m a nut. LOL
I want to chime in here. I’m married to a 1st generation Sicilian who’s first language was Italian. Not knowing I assumed Italian was all the same but like here in the U.S. were we have so many forms of “English” It is the same there. My husbands father was in WWII stationed in Rome and could switch to different dialects easily. My 93yr old mother in law speaks and writes very broken English mixing words in both languages. How it was explained to me by my husband was when they came here in 1950 and being in their 30′s they lived in a community of Italians from the same village they were from and worked for Italians. They had no need to only speak English. My husband didn’t learn English until going to school and watching the 3 Stooges! LOL! My family has been in the states before we were states and 1 side of my family is from Georgia. I’m from the mid west, have lived in several states and have visited different regions of the U.S.-sorry for such a long back story!-I have been taught many different words and phrases that mean the same thing. When asking my husband and MIL the Italian word for something sometimes it’s not the word given to me on an app or even Rosetta Stone! LOL! Sometimes I would read them the Italian word to practices my pronunciation and they wouldn’t have a clue what I was saying! One word was “blizzard” and my MIL had no idea what I was saying. When I told her the word her reply to me was “We don’t have blizzards in Sicily!” When she writes letters and signed cards it’s always in Italian and English and words that are a mixture of both. Spanish here if different than in Spanish speaking countries. I live in Amish communities where I’m sure their German is different from Germany and Cajun French is really chopped up french! I totally get Tre-it’s pretty normal if you ask me.
I have only meet one My ex roomies BF but in his defense he learned english in his 40s
He didnt really mispronouce words he just said then Phoneticly (sp) In his language there are no silent vowels or letters He said that was the hardest thing about learning English is getting use to silent letters in words and how one letter can sound different depending on how its used in a word.. so Comb was comB and tomb was tomB cemetary was CEM-TER-RY. We use to laugh so bad it Hurted.
But, AGAIN, how old was Tree when she supposedly came to the U.S.??? If she was 8 or younger, I’d expect her to have a grasp on the English language. She’s attributing it to not being born here, but I suspect there’s more to it than that. I think that both Tree and her brother have learning disabilities.
Tree never said she wasn’t born here. She was. I thought u were being funny. She grew up in Paterson, NJ. She has stated that Italian was her first language as can be seen by her parents. I agree that her brother may have learning disabilities, he seems to have a problem reading. Perhaps you are right about Teresa. If she does, she is doing great!
she was born in NJ she was educated here and learned English here when she started school
Thanks, Lisa. That was the word in NJ too, which is why I have limited patience for her “off the boat” excuse as far as her inability to speak English coherently. I’m done with this topic. I will say that I feel badly for her this season. She seems very unhappy with Andy and Bravo, but it’s up to all of them to renew their contracts and subject themselves to this crap.
You left me out of your toast. But unlike froggie, I’ll get over it.
LOL, Antonella!
Didn’t Don Caro make the “off the boat” comment about Tre? I think she was being sarcastic.
Yes, Chuckie implied that she is a better class of Italian than the rest of us that are “off the boat”
Sorry cant resist saying that Caroline may not be off the boat, but she is certainly off her rocker!
I was born in NY. Educated here and learned English when entering school. Spanish is my first language. I am relatively smart and can write very well. Although I speak decently, I do screw up when speaking and am generally made fun of (lovingly) by those around me for my pronunciation of some words and my backwards speech at times. I’m not a moron, I can just come across as NOT eloquent because my life was spent bilingual. I now equally screw up both my english and my spanish. I’m a total mess but it is who I am. It’s not an excuse or something to be made fun of. It is a reality.
Well, I know someone who is a human being just like you that graduated from Harvard. Why didn’t you? You are a human who exists and has a brain, right? As long as you can pass for human, you have to go to Harvard and graduate.
That is how dumb your argument is. So what?? Teresa isn’t as quick with language as your brother in law. Whoopdie do. I want you, next time you see your brother in law and everyone you have ever met who flawlessly speaks several languages, to give them all a real nice pat on the back – from me – for being smarter than Teresa Giudice. I am so happy for them and YOU!
Did it ever occur to you that unless you know the language someone else is speaking, you are not ever actually able to be certain of how fluent they are? Just wondering.
Weren’t the SNL coneheads from France?
Oh my God that is the funniest thing I have read in a week. Zou Bisou Bisou.
Bullie: Let’s not make this personal. SH doesn’t appreciate personal attacks on this site.
I raised a child with severe speech and language issues. She was bullied for them and treated as if she couldn’t possibly be as smart as some of the mommies and their precious gifted ones. She used to cry because the kids at school made fun of her even in High School. So my heart goes out to Tre. Now I look back and some of those little geniuses didn’t even graduate from College. My daughter worked hard and is earning her PHD. Sometimes having a disability makes you work a little bit harder. It’s a shame people can’t get past Teresa’s speech and acknowledge her hard work and intelligence.
Aint pittypat you sound like a great mother. May Jacqueline learn from your strength and hard work that let your daughter succeed.
I really don’t think any of what I said was a personal attack. I just asked a question and prefaced it with some mild reasoning explaining my opinion. Kind of like how you explained yours. You don’t have to answer the question if you don’t want to.
Hello
Hello
Thank you for stepping in and adding what you have so calmly and politely stated on this rant that has run rabidly-intolerant. The above comments were difficult to get through! (I do understand them and many times have the same feelings!) I do like to read others opinions it helps keep views open minded and it is a reminder to not judge so harshly. When the “Bravos cast of characters show series” are so unnerving I enjoying read comments from those of the alike mind.
But I would never want to encourage myself or others to act like those that offend our sense of decorum. I like to know that we are welcome to cheer on those we like. As well as others have the rights to feel what they are convinced is correct! I have come to learn that I need to hear versions that disagree with my personal views. As it keeps me questioning my own stance.
I would rather be right than bull-headed. It does not mean that I will change my mind it just means that I agree to disagree with others. I am happy to know of every one “especially those I do not see eye to eye!” There is a sense of acceptance on all levels. As well as mature and delightfully engaging repartee. The patrons along with the subject matter coupled with humor keeps me involved and keeps me returning after long trips on the road.
Well, some people pick up language quite easily. I am very envious of them. My Spanish sucks and I have been speaking it for 30 years.
Italy has different dialects. Not until the commonplace viewing of tv was an “Italian” national language implemented and commonly used. The dialect of Florence was chosen because (according to many experts) it was the home of Dante Alighieri. Another words perhaps balcony is spoken differently in in the various dialects. Possibly Theresa didn’t come in contact with a balcony or the need for the word when speaking Italian as a young child. Just playing Devils Advocate. : )
Bidet, not balcony. She didn’t know the word for bidet.
LOL.Well I’m pretty sure she didn’t have a bidet in Paterson. : )))
of course bidet is french for that ‘toilet-looking-thing-that-you-wash-your-tushie-in” so Tre asking what it is in italian is no different than anyone asking what it is in english!! it’s a BIDET – she was just temporarily confused when she didn’t remember that in english it is still said in French – no big deal!
We call it the dog’s bubbler.
Ok, you guys are too funny! LOVE IT!
If your daughter in law is Dutch it makes sense that she speaks great english as it is one of the national languages. Whenever you are in The Netherlands everything is in Dutch and English.
man, my comment ended up way down here, my comment was directed to the poster that said her Daughter in Law was Dutch and spoke perfect english.
Thanks sd! I didn’t know that information.
Stay positive, Tre. You looked great last night.
Call me crazy, but I liked this blog.
Me too Lesley!
Me three..I guess I’m a tre hugger. I’ve loved her Season 1..she’s great TV.
Me four.
Me 5. I love her positive attitude. I can relate to starting over again and doing the really hard work not just personally but financially.
Count me in too!
Me 7…
I loved it, simply said, but to the point… Not like Jacs novels… If I wanted to read a book I go to my kindle..
she’s only one pointing out the obvious…the Manzo family and Melissas sisters can keep hiding and acting like they are above it, but their true colors are on twitter. Melissas sisters make me sick to my stomach…they are so mean to tre on twitter and melissa doesn’t do anything about it, even her makeup artist goes in on her. I don’t blame her for writing these blogs at all.
Exactly. MeGo has her surrogates out on social media sites, calling Teresa every name in the book, while MeGo sits back and talks about how she wants them all to be a family again. She is such a fake @ss bitch.
You got that right Ana! It’s obvious that Melissa isn’t interested in being a family. Perfect example is when she tweeted “when I say something I mean it! I am putting my all into the relationship with Teresa!” But Sunday, Sept 8, she retweeted this from the nasty Queenz of Media who hate Teresa and are always bashing her: “Guess what? Melissa Gorga is going to be on The Queenz of Media Thursday!”
What a piece of sh*t she is! If she was really serious about putting her all into the relationship with T, she would not associate with a nasty blogger like QOM, nor would she allow her hairdresser and her skanky sisters, the Manzos, Lauritas, Wakiles, etc.
to bash T.
Can’t stand Mehos’ sisters! So desperate to be famous. Tre does have more grown arse adults after her and bashing her on twitter & Facebook. Meho has her grown-a$$ fugly sisters, Mama, cousins etc. – Jacko has her cray cray mother – Caro has adult still being breast feed children – Frog Face has her, just coming out of the closet (yeah right) sister all looking for a fight on behalf of their team.
What’s funny is the first two sentences if your post directly applied to MeGo when Danielle was still of the show, she was acting the same way (and still is IMO)
Funny. Minijoe and mego were so mad that T didnt feature them on the show in season one and two. They admit they were mad. Now i ask you….where are megos flyin monkey sisters? Has mego featured them on the show? Uh no. Thats because bravo makes these decisions, not the cast. If they did, does anyone think mego would share her spotlight with them? Im gonna say no.
He sister’s lapband must have slipped and be around her thigh because she has had one for three freaking years and is a tub of lard.
Ditto
What’s strange is that they wanted to watch Teresa on
WWHL and yet they don’t like her. This applies to all those losers. If you don’t like her, why do you care for what she has to say. And please don’t say they were watching to see five seconds of Melissa’s video. It’s so sad how jealous they all are of Tre.
Everyone watches for the chance a word or a gesture from their own performance might be referenced or highlighted.
Right! Just like fat-assed Lauren waiting to tap away on twitter just to get mentioned. Typical Lauren – always playing the victim. Her momma was right, she is an asshole.
This made me LOL!
“P.W. “she’s only one pointing out the obvious…the Manzo family and Melissas sisters can keep hiding and acting like they are above it, but their true colors…” – ["dirty!"]
I like and agree … your pointing this out!
Am I missing something? The night of the PFS, is the night Jac began her twitter rants,including “Teresa is scum” And Jac wonders why she wasn’t invited to the launch party? And why was Melissa watching the girls? Timing doesn’t make sense.Teresa and Melissa both agree they haven’t seen each other since S3 reunion,but launch was in Oct. Did a limo drop the girls off at Melissa’s house?
Bravo editing at it’s worse and they can’t deny this one. The viewers aren’t stupid.
I agree mzjulesaz1
What the hell is going on! We all know that none of them went to Teresas wine thing because none of them were speaking to her, because of all kinds of stuff going on..Jacqueline spilled all the deets the night of the PFS, and has since then, we all know the TL because of her! Every Blogger has blogged about all of this, we knew pretty much all of season 4 before it aired.
Now why are they all covering this stuff up? This is really weird!!
Dina outed the editing in her tweets last nights. She was confused why the Fabellini launch was shown on TV before the Fashion Show..all the viewers are baffled too. Bravo sucks.
And the fact that the majority of the conversation was about Teresa and Joe and the “Not Always” was taken out of context for what was really said.
In other words, it wasn’t about Caroline — sorry hit post too soon
I found it interesting that if the fashion show did indeed occur before the launch party, Melissa still kept Teresa’s girls? And now, they supposedly haven’t spoken since the reunion because of the fashion show events. It seems that if Melissa was so pissed at Teresa, she wouldn’t have been traveling to her house or buying bracelets for her. Hmm…..
It’s why I’m beginning to abhor Bravo more than I already did. I can deal with the semi-scripted/outlined shows but these past seasons Bravo has taken it to a new low with the darkness and hate. Now on top of all of that they insult our intelligence messing with the editing in a totally obvious manner. Did you catch the look on Tre’s face when Miss Andy asked where why Jaq wasn’t invited — it was a WTF are you serious look and then he fed her the answer he wanted.
I know mzjulesaz!
It was obvious that Tre didn’t want to be there. Why didn’t he invite Melissa. Didn’t she just release a horrible single and video. These people including her gutter trash sisters, are clowns promoting her garbage music. The Manzo’s have never promoted Dina’s show. How predictable of them.
Only chance Bravo has of peeps watching the video is to have their highest rated housewife on the show. I bet Bravo didn’t tell Teresa ahead of time that they would be revealing the video during her appearance. Maybe Andy could have made the stripper bartend for Tree
I got the impression that she was just exhausted from taping the reunion the day before. Melissa doesn’t get the ratings that Tre does. That video was AWFUL, wasn’t it? Perez Hilton slamming it and her was awesome!
Lisa, I could tell she didn’t want to be there to… Andy probably got together with the lynch mob asked them who should we put on tonight, in tune they replied, give it to Teresa, she loves everything…while laughing… Morons the whole bunch of them, I can not wait to rid my television of there voices and if the mobsters are back, I will bow out…
PS
I will come back to MS SH…. I love it here, it’s so peaceful, after all Bravo puts us through.. Thanks.
It has seemed as if Andy has it in for Teresa.
It would also seem that “Teresa is the biggest draw of all time on the Bravo series!” I hope Teresa knows that he does not have her best interset at heart. She needs to act accordingly. That is: accept that it a business working relationship and nothing else. Andy needs these people to hang out to dry. So caring is not his department.
I noticed that.
Posche Fashion show was filmed Sept. 2011 and Teresa’s Fabellini launch party was mid Oct. 2011. Looks like bad editing by the now-fired producers?
When was last years reunion filmed? Renuion was the day after the Poshe fashion show. So the fabellini launch had to be before. The timeline is jacked up.
Exactly. How could they not expect us to notice this, especially after it was consecutive with last season and we have all essentially been waiting since last seasons reunion to find out what happened at the fashion show this year?? Not to mention this is the age of the Internet and twitter.
Since bravo has some defense having fired the producers since, should address all of the horrible editing going on this season (Caroline’s cry, joes phone call etc) since everyone is talking about it anyway. Of course they won’t, but they should.
Which also goes to show you that the TTC that Bubba Jax did was staged with her fake crying and pretending she was hurted. She said “I don’t know why I wasn’t invited to the launch party, *whimpering* “I thought we were friends again” *fake tears* She deserves an Oscar for that performance.
Wow you’re totally right!!! Didn’t even think about that. Not surprising behavior for her though.
Think (hope) Jax’s will remember that she was sweet and kind she showed us she could be? Now she really needs to regroup. To take her stand that allow herself friends with flaws that we all have been know to share!
And MeGo saying she was watching the kids so Tree could go to her launch party. Lies!
I am sure Bravo told her to say that to cover up the Fact the Fab party was filmed out of order so Call Bravo a liar But Melissa was just doing what she was told to say
Hi there, oh, I have missed so many of the shows and cannot always catch up on time. If these women remember that the show is being taped they would realize the lies will be public record. I do feel so bad for this set of women it is as if they are standing in their way of true happiness. Seems poignant that they did not get a nicer portion of the “infamous pie.” Instead they have ratted themselves out!
BubbaJax and MeGo’s ability to lie about invites to the launch party was crazy. I had to watch show show a second time to realize that Teresa never said that MeGo took the kids the day of the party, only MeGo makes that statement. Party was October 7, that’s a Friday. The kids would have been in school during the day. The weather warranted a sweater, how do I know that? It was my best friend’s wedding and it was chilly at 3 pm for pictures!
If the editors who were always giving the manzoids the favorable edits were fired, what the fork is Lapband doing grilling Teresa on the reunion show. In what universe is that fair? Plus, i don’t blame Teresa for having someone help her put her thoughts into words for the blogs. I am certain they are her sentiments but we all know she is inarticulate. So what?
If Lapband was allowed to grill teresa, Pete Guidice should have been allowed to ask some questions, too.
Wow – they haven’t filmed in a year? Is that normal?? Seems like a long time. I was happy to see more of Gabriella last night too – she’s my favorite little Giudice!
Gabriella is my favorite, too. She is hardly ever on and then when she is, I remember why she is favorite. She is so cute and sweet.
She really is, Ana. I believe Tre when she says she’s an old soul. She was adorable at the mani-pedi place.
She is adorable. Looks a lot like Juicy’s mama.
Ditto, she strikes me as old soul. She’s adorable and definitely needs more air time.
Well Maggs They did film season 3 and 4 back to back.. I think when they ended season 3 they only had like a month off and they started season 4 right away. Remember season 3 reunion was last fall, it was all jacked up! I think really it was part of the reason these ladies emotions have been so high season 4 cause they were watching season 3, while filming season 4. UGH!!
Lena – yep, that’s right. I forgot about that. They are confusing me! LOL
LOL Maggs.. Me too!
Too bad they only you see SIL or brother is when the cameras are rolling.Like they need to be recognized for their “Good Deeds”.Like celebrities that are spotted by Paps doing a good deed.
Only for the camera would they ever lift a finger to help anyone or donate $$ without a camera praising them.If I were Tre I would leave the show and enjoy her life with her immediate family.The stress/drama and backstabbing is so draining and over played.
Really sad and it’s all because Melissa wanted to be a star. I believe she has manipulated Joe Gorga into turning on his sister all in the name of fame. What kind of wife would be willing to destroy her husband’s relationship with is family just so she can show her ass on TV? Is that crap-tastic new video worth it MeHO? She’s disgusting.
Even though I too am convinced “MeGo wants ‘Teresa lime light”!
Joe the brother strident screeching like a holler monkey at Teresa during her nephew’s christening – did also! “Joe Gorga’s subconscious acted on his anger of his sister not including him (them) in his sister’s star time on television.” The same with that “repulsive cousin’ that wants to be T’s equal and garnish (slang) the same billing as Teresa!” As if anyone would tune her or those (related) on that side of the family in, on … only off! Off is the only emotions that cousin invokes.
I though I was a proponent of the aunt-mom yet, she never told that cousin Kathy to “M.Y.O.B.!” To leave Teresa to her place on this planet and let Teresa and her family live out the opportunity given to Teresa! The relatives mingling with Teresa short lived friendship of Dina’s relatives was shameful (DonCarol, Chris, Carol’s off-spring, what was “don-carol husband’s role = “yes man” to DonCarol?” Yeah, that was it!) to watch.
If it were I whose family crucify a friend – the family would be separated from me-by-me! Every family sets boundaries and limits. My friends would never have to worry about public displays of indecent treatment from us. “Shocking and uncivilized behavior by the Manzo’s and those others” we have never witnessed. “Thank goodness.”
Their place was never on the show with any family members. Once we leave our parents houses whom and what circles and jobs and parties we are involved with have nothing to do with extended members of any siblings! The audacity of Bravo invading on Teresa rights to her contact should be liable. As the contacts are written now it would appear that “Bravo conducts unscrupulous-unprincipled morals” to conduct social television viewing ratings.
I liked this blog too and thought it was sincere to read. I get it if she speaks in English and thinking in Italian. Even after so many years, its not easy.
Cant wait for the reunion and I really hope that bi*ch DonCaro gets her mouth smacked closed.
I do too! I hope Tre doesn’t take the high road the time and REALLY tells that psycho how it is. I want to see Jacko get her due as well. She really screwed Tre over. Tre did NOTHING to Jacko to deserve her betrayal this season.
I am watching online and have only gotten to episode 6. But I have been reading SH and the blogs. But today it shocked me how DonCaro and Jaxx treated Gia at the sport day at Jaxxs house. And more to come. Oh, I want to paddle my little boat over the Atlantic and tell her a word or two myself. She is a hypocrite and at bad bad mother. I am just speechless sometimes of how its possible to be such a b… “I dont have time for drama” Right!
I agree with you completely about Field Day at Jax’s house, solveigfa. They were beyond out of line with Gia. She is a little girl who was upset and needed time to herself to decompress. Instead those two witches attacked her! Across the Atlantic? Are you in Europe?
Yeah, I was totally in shock on how they behaved and how DonCaro didnt own up to her behaviour after in the portrait interview. And blaming Gia. Wow. WOW WOW. And I cant wait to see the rest of her vile behavior. I am watching like crazy to be on the same episode as you are.
Yeah, I am in Norway. I am norwegian and live here. Even in Europe, we watch theese crazy stoopid ppl
Wow! So these housewife shows aren’t just a national embarrassment, but an INTERNATIONAL disgrace.
Sol
We are not all like that, we aRe good people here…. This is the est sight, enjoy, you’re gonna love it!
Yes, I know. Have friends in several US states
I know this is the best site. Been enjoying it for months and at least over a year
Ah – Norway seems like a lovely place to live!
Not nearly as nice as Franklin Lakes, NJ but lovely. 
Totally kidding!!
Its ok, but a little boring
Solveigha,
It’s only goes from bad to worse, talk about mean, Caroline’s picture is there in the dictionary under meanest b*tch, sneaky evil, and the lowest of life… She is a snake, jacko too…
Yeah, it seems like that by the post here the last months. Totally crazy to actually see how bad it is. Wow, that b*tch really doesnt have any self insight
ooooh solveigfa- its gets worse! Word of advice – do not watch them right before you go to bed. You will not be able to sleep a wink…
I hope she smacks that smirk right off her face, shove it up where the sun don’t shine…
Heck … there are so many different dialects within the American population. I say wash and my husband says warsh. It is not an intelligence measurement in all cases, unfortunately many judge based upon language skills. We are both American born and raised, but in different regions. Because he is a southerner, that’s how he talks. After 20 years, I may have to ask my husband to spell something for me so I can understand what he is saying, It is not an indication of lack of intelligence, The bottom line is that even US we speak American English differently across regions.
a running family joke is that my husband says “merry” “marry” and “Mary” all the same way – he can’t hear the difference – must be a Cleveland thing…
Theres a difference? LOL! I’m originally from Cleveland and everyone always says I say “melk” instead of “milk.”
We say melk in Norway too
Let us praise St Tre for she is fabulicious!!!!!!
Wow ! What changed your mind? I’m sure Teresa would love love love your comment.
Why, that’s very sweet of you LaFora!!
Last night the scripted school bus was a bit unbelieveable.When MegHo went running back to get the car after missing the fake school bus.Did you notice how fat her ass is getting or spreading?
She looked a bit different from behind running without Spanx to hold it together.Frog Eyes looked a bit heavyfrom behind when she opened her door to Tre and old to boot.
I hope Melissa’s ass isn’t fat from “injections or ass implants” to look like J-Lo’s ass! It wouldn’t surprise me if it was! She is sooooooo desperate to look like J-Lo! LOL!
Have you seen the picture of her and Antonia recently where here face looks different? She is skin and bones now it’s really gross. She was already very skinny,
I felt soo bad for Antonia, missing the bus on your first day of kindergarten! But that what you have to deal with I guess, when your mother is a self absorb fame whore. Sad thing is Antonia is the kid she clearly favors, her poor brothers don’t even stand a chance.
Wonky eye also has a wonky azz. Lumpy and wide.
wasn’t there an episode of her in her driveway saying how athletic she is?? Then in Napa, they show her standing on the beach, watching Kathy and Teresa surfing, and flipping out in a foot of water when they were on that river, and running like a doofus in her driveway!! I think my 90 year old Grandma is as athletic as Melissa!
U reminded me of DWTS, one of the pro dancers had one of the super models, and he said something like it is deceiving how unfit she is. Everyone expected her to be fit because she looked to be in shape, wrong!
I didn’t get why she would have to get her car?
I think Cuz Kathy has thryoid problems. Bulging eyes is a sign. Maybe good ole menopause is visiting the Wakile’s house too.
Kathy tweeted she is healthy. Rosie and her daughter have the same eyes. It must run in the family.
I Agree @ Cyn1
Actually I think they have beautiful eyes.
Can you imagine if that biatch ever gets pink eye? It will become a national epidemic.
With eyes that size a case of pink eye could be considered a biological weapon.
So Teresa says that Dina stopped talking to her when she left the show. And she says that when Dina had her fight with Caroline she didnt talk to T for awhile. So it sounds to me, if Teresa meant to word everything the way she did, that Dinas leaving the show happened at the same time as her fight with Caroline. So it would seem to me that Caroline had something to do with Dinas decision to leave the show…maybe the whole reason she left. IMO this supports the theory that Dina and Carolines fight had everything to do with the show….maybe a business deal gone wrong. Or maybe that whole stupid twitter project ladybug war between the two.
Lightening can strike twice. So since Tre’s business agenda mirrors a past successful HW (which we volleyed about in the comments a while ago) some major booze corp. might buy out Tre’s ‘adult beverage’ catapulting her to a level$ where others are left behind. Could happen. Can make even the best friends and family green with envy. *maybe the reunion will prove Tre picked up a few tricks in the Donald’s boardroom.
Wow! I hope it does and Teresa can pull a NeNe and say “I am rich bi*ch!” Bit gee one cannot forget about Kathy’s red velvet moonshine!
LOL’ed so hard at moonshine comment! Nothing would ever tempt me to drink that red swill. Red Velvet is for eating not drinking ick!
Although I admire Teresa’s spunk and work ethic, I haven’t been a hard core Teresa fan, but I have to say Tre is sure paying a dear price for that bankruptcy fiasco. I bet she wishes she could follow Dina’s example and leave the show for the sake of her family. She can’t because she and Juicy owe so much money. Add to that attorney fees for Juicy’s trial. Tre’s got it tough and she’s got to stick out on the show to keep on paying those bills.
Blaming Teresa for mountain outa molehill offenses same thing as Jillz freezing Betheny out for not taking her along on her rapid rise. Tre is pretending to care for the show’s sake but her eye is firmly glued on her own prize and it drove them crazy. Fabbelini is her Skinny Girl margarita. BF got a 100+Mil$ deal! Even 1/10 that would be more than the other NJ’s made off their HW wares combined. Even Dina showed her claws and said it made her belch. Really Dina?
It’s prolly all that gum chewing she does that is making her burp.
Have you tried it — it’s gross. I like Fabilien, though!
I don’t drink so I have not tried any Housewife Hooch. I might try the BLK after I get my flu shot.
I gotta tell you Skinny Girl is disgusting. It reminds me of Boone’s farm which we used to drink in high school.
If nothing else , I think Tre learned (from Don’s boardroom) to step outside her little world of just Carowhine, Jax & that little gang & see a broader picture. I think she was paying wayyy too much attention to DonCarowhine’s opinions of Danielle & all the other things that were going on in the past. Maybe being on Trump’s show sort of brought back her common sense. She seems to see the whiner for what she really is now.
I get the feeling that in the Reunion – while everyone is yelling at Tre, JoGo is not gonna say or do anything but sit there with a blank look on his face and his eyes blinking alot.
If I were Tre – I would look squarely at JoGo and say – “Are you happy now?? All this for your fame-whoring wife. I hope conspiring to destroy your own flesh and blood was worth it.” The blame belongs squarely at JoGo’s stumpy feet.
That would be all I want for Christmas. Thank you very much.
I heard that he says something awful to her and claims his father told him it. So once again, he brings up his father.
Poor Gorga Sr. They must be besides themselves. Regardless of how their son has acted, he’s still their son. It must be hard on them to support their kids. From what I have seen. I think Tree always did support her brother and he did support her up until he wanted on the show. I’m not even going to blame that solo on Missy. Now you have your elderly parents watching or hearing (make no mistake they know what’s going on) their children going to war on TV. Although I have to say I have never heard Tree outright trash Joey has I have heard him do to his sister.
You have parents trying not to be pitted against either of thier children, but you know it causes problems. What sealed it for me was that regardless of what was going on with his sister, HE DIDN’T STAY FOR CHRISTMAS EVE. He should of maned up and stayed, if for no other reason then to make his parents happy.
I think Tree has tried to sheild her parents from the bad, yet Joey calls them out on TV. He shoudl be so embarrassed and hang his head in shame. I have had dissagreements with my parents BUT I would never call them out to others never mind on TV. That is the ulimate no-no. Joey wonders why his father is closer to J Joe and Tree, well they have the class not to talk about their parents and respect them.
Now you have your elderly parents (your dad has heart problems) and you pull this crap just because you couldn’t stand that your sister had something that you didn’t. You where willing to do this to people that have loved, supported, and cared for you. Gave you life. It’s sad because I know I would willing lay down my life for my parents and have tried to live my life in a manner that they find respectfull to them, myself, and my community…Oh and if my sisters and me ever pulled crap like that, my father would come on TV and whoop our butts for the world to see. For being Stoopid…
That’s OLD SCHOOL ITALIAN in a nut shell.
I’m not Italian but I think that is just common sense regardless of your heritage
AGREED. I’m officially changing my post to That’s OLD SCHOOL in a nut shell.
I’m not Italian but was raised the same way. It’s just good breeding as my Mom used to say. It broke my heart when Jo was talking about taking care of his parents financially. paying for the house they lived in. That would be humiliating no matter your ethnicity. He insulted his parents and discussed his parent’s finances on TV. JoGo is a little man, a very small person.
Stumpy is gross..he’s a sweaty little hen pecked excuse of a son.
He wouldn’t have had to pay for his father’s house if he hadn’t taken the house they already had sucked him into his ill-fated house flipping schemes. Let me tell you this. If you think Joey Gorgyle is making bank by converting warehouses in Patterson into luxury lofts, I’ve got some swampland in the Everglades here I’d like to sell you. Everybody with a cranium in Petterson spends their whole lives trying to get OUT!
Dina went on the show to backstab Caro I loved that. Dina commented though that who goes to someone and say I don’t want to be your friend and she laughed . But isn’t that what Dina did when she met with Danielle at that restaurant ?
Im sure tre has bashed her bro and missy on numerous occasions but at least she keeps it classy by not doing it on TV like they are.
Seriously we don’t always get along with our family and who hasn’t confided in a friend(s) ? I am appalled that Carowhine who proclaims the value of loyalty betrayed Teresa’s confidence regarding her family issues. Why isn’t that ever addressed?
Carowhine does what she has to do to cling to the idea that she’s right. I think she’s one of those whose whole self image revolves around being right especially if she see’s someone as an enemy. I think she NEEDS Tre to be the bad guy so she can focus her hate (stress) & anger (unhappiness) at Tre rather than face up to whatever it is in her own life that’s making her so unhappy.People wonder why ChuckieCarowhine’s made such a fool out of herself these past couple of seasons. But I honestly don’t think she can step back & think about it , I think this whole fake ego (her world) she’s built up over the years depends on being right & trying to convince everyone to be on her “side”. Silly & childish to the rest of us but someone didn’t get the memo – that stuff doesn’t matter once your past the 5th grade. So now she sits around picking & looking for everything Tre does. I can just see her sitting there watching the tapes over & over looking for something to whine on about…
Yeah. Some kind of drama goes down…and true to her Yoda-like self identity, she appears out of nowhere to “tell it like it is”. Her self esteem is centered around being this wise, all knowing, all seeing soothsayer. She cant be wrong….it would make her feel bad about herself…because “right” is what she is. “Right” is her entire sense of self. Caroline, nobody likes a Yoda in real life…he was cute and all in Star Wars…but, no. Housewife Ho? You wanna take this one?
Just wanted to say to all of you who are/have bilingual family, friends, people down the street, whomever, for whom English was their second language and they learned it PERFECTLY on their first try…. and that makes them SO GREAT and people who DON’T pick English up as perfect as them, well they are just idiots….CONGRATS ON BEING PERFECT and only knowing perfect people!!!!! The rest of us, however, sometimes have difficulty perfecting language while moving to a new country in maybe, less than perfect circumstances, or growing up in multilingual homes, cities, communities, etc, and sadly, cannot be as perfect as you all. Please find it in your perfect hearts to forgive us.
Thank you.
Goodnight.
Sono disgraziati. xoxo
How right you are! It is also true that people have different strengths so native speaker or not vocabulary is not necessarily an indication of overall intelligence. Yogi Berra laughed all the way to the bank. As a side note he made the most money in business outside of baseball of any baseball player until Reggie Jackson. Very profitable businesses.
We all are, antonella, we all are…..
Ok everyone……we are ALL being punished……NO one other than Teresa have written their blog yet! Now come on you know they all got together and agreed they would not write one simply to punish Bravo (for finally showing some truth) and viewers for calling them out on all their crap. The whole season they kept saying ” just wait and see, you will see the real Teresa ” they didn’t expect their “friends” to get fired at Bravo now they are freaking out because they are not sure on how to spin this to their favor.
How on earth does she sound so normal in the blog but so crazy on tv?
I’m pretty sure that Jac, Caro and MeHo are all collaborating together to get their stories straight before they post their blogs. It will be more of the same…Teresa Teresa Teresa!
It’s called being OWNED!!
It is that day again.
Never forget. Teach your children never to forget.
I have tried to post on Teresa’s blog 2 times and Bravo will not post it, trying to let those idiots know that the episode shown on Sunday was out of sequence, that is why not one of the cast memebers are there. The Poshe fashion show had already happened, so the comment Teresa about Joe and Melissa were not there is being taken so wrong by some of the posters saying “can’t you remember that Melissa was watching the girls”. That BRAVO is lying, again!!
Wonder where they came up with the footage of Melissa with the girls????
Same hear … I tried several times and they will not post anything about that.
Guess they think we are all dumb….dumb enought to continue to watch the madness. If the Manzo’s return, including Melissa and Jacquline, I am done with the NJ show.
You think that is bad, I am banned. I seriously have no idea what I could have said or done to warrant such treatment.
Hi Debi! I was reading a timelime on another site and they say that the picture is from July 2011. They even have a picture of MeGo posing with ladies of the spa with a Facebook posting date of 7/6/11.
Admit it. Teresa’s just stupid.
It has nothing to do with where she was born or what ethnicity she is. She doesn’t use proper English because she’s stupid.
Dont you mean eggmit it? Maybe they could all use a roadtrip to the lie-berry. I am sure MeGo could put her teaching skills and work ethnic to use and read ‘em a book. Envelope ‘em with perhaps The Wench that Stole Christmas? Just don’t put Lauren in charge of navigation, ya know she sucks at reading mile markers. But I suppose they would be alright if they stick to using landmarks… like ,say the KFC. Maybe they could consult with a median. I hear dead daddy’s are always up to light the way. bahahahahaha
OMG, Madepiley! You made me laugh so hard that if I had a lap band it would have slipped or something.
Mine just burst. I got one because it seems to be the latest fashion statement. Like those earrings that hang down to your ass.
LMAO @ madepiley!!
LMAO
Bravo MP!! Hilarious!
She may possibly be but… she’s definitely better at hustle and turning a negative into a positive than most people… so… Actually I think I’ll disagree… She isn’t stupid – maybe something but stupid she is not. Oh.. and she’s crafty to a T
Let’s just say she would have never gotten pulled out of class to join the gifted program. But she is smart in her own way. She is turning a biased, unfair show to her advantage. I couldn’t do that. I’d drop right out.
Right there with ya Gessie…. She’s managed to turn a group bullying session into a profitable opportunity – while also garnering a fairly large fan base. She’s got something going on upstairs for sure.
I am from NJ to (Yay hey Bergen County!) & people in Jersey just speak weird. My sister & I both say Suntin for something, close the light, Nuttin for nothing & so on. My sister is well educated and I have a 2 year degree myself and speak both Italian & English. Believe me I have heard people say Ly berry who are Dr’s. My dentist who is from CT says “melk” for milk. & We all eat sangwiches but know it is a sand wich. It is just local speak. So what. 1/2 the time these babes are tipsy from the flowing wine so that contributes to it too. Just sayin.
Tree was great on WWHL. I think she has changed & I think she is working really hard on all fronts. The Manzo Lauritas are jealous, period, Dina is trying to ride Tree’s coattails rather then be jealous. I think Dina is a huge fake a big phoney but Tree will figure that out eventually herself.
How is Dina riding her coat-tails? Teresa was the only person (no Manzoids) to give Dina’ HGTV show shout- outs to her twitter followers. She seems genuinely proud of her. Although I watched it last night and it is not my style, Dina is beautiful. Cookie is her right hand man when it comes to food. I don’t like the show, but I like her.
I know this comment is at the end, but wasn’t sure who to reply. I have mentioned that I was born in the USA and didn’t speak English until entering school. Even then, because everyone was like me or “fresh off the boat” we would learn in Portuguese and then translation into English. But due to the small town you spoke Portuguese everywhere. I hack my words all the time. My mother is beyond, she has her own English, she speaks.
Not only that. I think between the ages of 11-13 is when I first heard and had P&J, Mac & Cheese, American cheese, Bolona, and hotdogs. I had no clue what those where until I started having “American friends”. LOL
When my poor mother tried to be cool and speak in English, trying to make a point. This is how it would be.
“I know the wordas you say from your mouth I to see with mya eyes the thins (things) you people (us girls) wanna be (do)”. That’s if it didn’t end up being flipped back and forth between English and Portuguese. LOL
My father speaks “good’ English, Portuguese and Latin (Chruch was said in Latin). After his strokes he only spoke Portuguese, could only read in English and the 1st time he went to Mass didn’t understand a word (Portuguese Mass). His brain had been trained at a early age to understand Latin Mass. Some days it’s all Portuguese other days English. He’s better, but for a man who spoke Portuguese and English and understood Latin, it’s confussing when he can’t get back to that. He never hacked English, like my mother, but now he’s right up there with her…The brain is a wonderful tool but can’t get screwed up just like everything else.
