No Little White Gloves In New Jersey

Wow! Did y'all about fall over when you watched the finale of RHNJ?! First let me say that I am so shocked how much I loved watching this show. I honestly thought that it would be like the Atlanta show for me- watch one episode and decide it was just far too trashy for even trashy reality TV. But they totally grew on me, these Italian divas from the NJ! Jacqueline and Teressa remain my favorites. But really, I liked watching everyone except for Danielle. She should move to the Atlanta show!

I about died when Danielle took the time to show her children nekkid modeling photos. Holy TMI! And I really believe in education but there was just no need to show the youngest child her racy photos. Trash-ay!!

Also, how small is this town that there is only one hair salon in a rinky-dink tiny strip plaza?

And while I stand by Jacqueline in the whole, "I'm not lying just because we are in-laws" debate, the entire dinner was appalling! I mean, why on earth did Danielle even go. She should have let it all blow over before trying to get in with the girls again. And is she making $ from the book? Why bring it to dinner? By that time, surely they all knew what she was referencing. I hope all five women look back and are mortified by their behavior. Every. Single. One. Of. Them! I don't even know what the tossing the table accomplished, Teressa. You are the one who invited Danielle. You know she is crazy. And slutty. What exactly did you expect? The worst part of the event was that they all behaved so poorly and used terrible language in front of their children!! Teressa wants them out of the room but then causes the biggest blow up of the night. Not that she was wrong to confront Danielle's big bag of BS. Just the manner in which she did it, is my issue.

But of course, it all made for fabulously trash-tastic TV. I am drooling in anticipation of the reunion show next week! Sure to be deliciously juicy and confrontational.

In looking for the above photo on Bravo's website, I saw an announcement that Jacqueline gave birth to a baby boy. Good for her- she really seems like a sweet person. I related to her personality the most. And did you read that Teressa is preggers with their fourth? She dresses them too over the top for my taste, but she has beautiful daughters. And I have now taken to saying "bubbies" all the time. New favorite word.

All in all, it was far too short! I was completely entertained and they are now my second favorite housewives, right after the NYC ladies. While I think it will be fun to see the soon-to-be Chicago and DC shows, I also think it would be a hoot to see like RH some random Midwest or Central US city. Or farm town. My TV taste has truly taken a turn for the worse over the last few years!! Bravo to Bravo for bringing me down in life!!
