On last night’s episode, Danielle continued to throw elbows for airtime. She’squickly becoming even more irritating than New York’s Kelly Bensimon. At leastthere was the sense with Kelly that she was an authentic wack job, too spacedout to care about how she was coming across on a reality show. Kelly might havesucked, but she wasn’t trying to sell us anything — except for owls, which may ormay not have been poached. And the idea that she has an advanced degree fromColumbia. But this Danielle broad? She is trying to work us. She wants something out of this show,and she’ll settle for Omarosa-style fame or a spot on next season’s I’m ACelebrity, Get Me Out of Here. To achieve her goals — of notoriety, of a rich man,of another run on a reality show, of comped botox injections — she’ll stage anafternoon of rock climbing with her daughters. She’ll boast of a months-longphone sex relationship with an (I’m betting imaginary) idiot whose screen nameof GucciModel. She’ll hurl herself on the other Housewives, just so as there isnever a scene without her taut mug in the foreground.
Nice Housewife Jacqueline, the inevitable crush of all of her son C.J.’sfuture friends, continued to put up with Danielle. She sat there sad-faced asDanielle bashed Dina and tried to muster up sympathy for Danielle’s ridiculousclaims that her 26-year-old weird boyfriend Steve really loves her but theycan’t have a future because of their age difference. (Teresa had alreadyelegantly informed us in a private interview that Steve only sees Daniellebecause she gives him a daily PopWatch, if you know what I mean.) Oh Housewives,just flip the table over on her, tell her that the family is thick-hhh asthie-eaveszz, and call it a day.
Give me more of Caroline. Her daughter Lauren is a bitter pill,yammering on about how she’ll agree to go to beauty school but shedraws the line at waxing somebody’s chucky or bebe. I’ve got thoseeuphemisms wrong I think but I refuse to investigate the matter. ButCaroline is tough, and I want her to make me sausage and peppers pasta,and she rightly sees the women getting botox blasted into their mouthsand asks "Am I crazy or is everybody else crazy, because to me that wascrazy times 10." I’ll even take Caroline’s son (the smart one who readsbooks). After he heard that Jacqueline’s husband had bought herdaughter a new car after a crap report card, he asked "You got her acar for failing out of school? What are you going to get for her whenshe gets locked up?"
Give me more of Dina and her sweat sock of a cat.
Give me more of that icy Wilhemina meanie(a) who took one look at Teresa’sdaughter’s head shots and declared them too pageanty. She held up the picture oflittle Gia with her hair sprayed mane and ridiculous headband and lacquered lipsand sneered. So Teresa, who’d been chasing after Gia with a lip gloss in pastepisodes, ordered a new photo shoot with a natural look and no makeup. Of courseshe brought an entire set of leopard-spotted luggage to the shoot, with two bagsalone dedicated to hair accessories. I would have loved to be in that Bravoediting room when they first heard the footage of Teresa and little Gia walkingout of the modeling agency, assured that fame is still just ahead of them, andTeresa spots a picture on the wall and says "Oh, there’s Britney Spears!" OhGia, would that your Mama was prepping you for the spelling bee instead ofinsisting that you will be a star one day.

I love Danielle she makes the whole show!!!
Love all of them except Danielle – even Teresa, although I heard the “Oh, there’s Britney Spears” and thought, “run Gia, run!” Especially love Caroline, and how can you not love Jacqueline? It would like trying to hate puppies and bunnies.
Okay who in the hell is doing THIS reveiew? You left out the best like from last night when Danielle said “He can come hang out at your house but I got the pussy!” Classic! I never heard that on NYC or OC!
What about that book, containing a mugshot of Danielle, in the preview for next week??? Scandalous!
I am having a hard time connecting with any of these women like I do with the other Housewives shows. They all just seem trashy and sleazy and uneducated. I don’t mean to come off as mean, but it’s true. Jacqueline is the nicest one, but even she is a terrible mom- a total wimpy pushover. The show lacks a Jill Zarin, Bethenny, or Nene. Without that one decent person for balance, the show doesn’t work (for me). Caroline seems nice, but she also seems to be…er, to be part of a mob family, which bothers me. sorry.
Whatever, as crazy as Danielle is, I’m certainly a fan.
Pussy and blow job. Yeah, what class. All the housewife skanks have got to go, no matter what city or state they are in. The interesting thing is that most of them seem to have access to unlimited mounds of cash but not too many of them are educated, nor do their children seem too motivated to educate themselves. Interesting, I worked myself thru college and my kids will do the same. I wish I had their money to pay college loans. How easy life would be.
Danielle is a MILF!!! She’s fun, funny, and doesn’t take herself too seriously. Dina is a bigtime witch and I hope Teresa doesn’t turn her little girl into a little pageant puppet. Agreed about Caroline…could see her more. Jacqueline is a sweet heart and is doing a good job holding everybody together (at the moment).
More Danielle…bring on the bikinis and mud for she and Dina to get in the ring!
Danielle really is SO ANNOYING. I can’t stand her. Every time they show her I’m just like, “UGGH get her segment OVER already!”
But I LOVE Dina and Caroline. LOVE LOVE LOVE. Those two and Nene are my favorite “Real Housewives.” They are the reason I watch.
Jacqueline is really sweet. And after the first episode my roommate and I couldn’t stop saying the word “bubbies” because of Teresa. I’m just waiting for her to flip that table and show her CRAZY EYES.
Danielle is the new Kelly–the annoying one we love to hate. She is soooo ugly and stupid for the entire world to see what a shallow, unintelligent bimbo she really is. She is very lucky to have a loyal, caring friend like Jacqueline. I think she is quickly becoming the favorite. However, she needs to get a grip on that snotty daughter of hers. Caroline is the mother hen, protecting her family. I think she is a great mom and seems to have a wonderful marriage. Theresa is a hoot and a half. Where has Dina’s husband been? Is he out of the country like the Count? I am getting suspicious.
I see that the Real Housewives of New Jersey are soliciting viewer questions and will answer them on the air. Looks like PWers have a lot to ask them about. http://www.bravotv.com/blogs/the-dish/have-questions-for-the-nj-wives
BTW, if you missed Teresa talking about Danielle giving her BF his daily BJ, here’s a clip: http://www.bravotv.com/the-real-housewives-of-new-jersey/videos/just-a-routine-blowjob
Danielle may be a lunatic but someone is raising her daughters right because they come across as the most grounded and mature.
The scenes with Teresa and her daughter tonight were very disturbing. That model agency woman was frightening and how damaged is that little girl going to be? She is growing up with unrealistic expectations…her mother wants that career!
candy- dina said her husband did not want any part of the show so we will probably not be seeing him anytime soon, except for that one photo they showed. I can’t remember what episode that was though, possibly the first.
As someone who was born in NJ and has a lot of family from NJ (including all those crazy Italians! LOL) I think this show is a riot. Caroline reminds me of a few of my relatives and I can’t get enough of her. I’d definitely want her on my side in a fight. Also love Jacqueline and Theresa (when she’s not around her children). Theresa and Jacqueline seem like genuine friends and that’s nice. Dina I’m on the fence about. Why be married to someone if you’ve seen him for 3 weeks in 3 years? Hm… I know I’ll be watching. Danielle, on the other hand, can leave now.
