Okay, okay, I’m kidding, but wouldn’t that be scary amazing? Unfortunately Teresa and the other ladies of The Real Housewives of New Jersey‘s trip abroad is just a giant family vacation around Europe (hopefully with no stop on Scary Island). Bravo’s promo for tonight’s episode gives us a sneak peek at their stopover in Venice. And when in Venice, here comes the flood…of culturally insensitive outbursts!
Teresa is unsure of the city’s history and has a hard time pronouncing the word “gondola,” while Jacqueline thinks Italian folks are lazy because in Vegas the gondola guys always sing to you. Joe, ever the consummate traveler, continues to make astute observations (like how he noticed that big green park in the middle of Manhattan a.k.a. Central Park): “This is really amazing the way they do this. Their cars are like boats over here.” Check out the clip below:
So tell me PopWatchers, on a scale of 1 to Danielle’s pronunciation of “women” (wo-man), how offensive will the Real Housewives be in Italy? Will the Manzos play the ham game during apertivo? Will Joe go diving for extra cash in the Trevi fountain? Is “sea rats” just code for Danielle? And are you, like me, secretly hoping she and/or the Kims pull a Jill Zarin and suddenly pop out from underneath the gondolas only to wreak havoc on the otherwise happy family vacation? It seems fitting.
that’s a-f**kin-nuff
hey hey, you don’t get to chose who you cut out of your life!
HAHAHAHA!!!
Take the cannoli, leave the idiots!
Can someone at EW post a list of all the insanely stupid, cheesy one-liners that come from the Real Housewives franchise? Of course, the internet would probably crash from all the stupidity, but it’d be nice.
finally…the italians og to italy! i just hope they don’t show danielle the whole episode. i’d rather have teresa than her.
And eventhough there’s an ocean separating them, I bet someone (probably Teresa) will bring up Danielle – because that is all they talk about!
Seriously. I don’t even like the show anymore. I stopped watching after Dina left.
My Italian family members would yell “They’re ruining Italy now!” if they saw this.
So very true!!!
Wow, nothing says class like comparing the authentic location to a cheesy themed hotel in Las Vegas. Not only do “the gondola guys” not all sing in Venice, the gondolas are a different size and structure and they don’t even run on a track. Good grief. Is it wrong I was hoping they would fall out into the canal? I hope they tipped the gondolier well.
Why is everyone always bitching about how Danielle says “women” in a different way? I’m sure it’s an accent thing. BFD.
Is it wrong that a part of me wished one of those obnoxious brats had gotten bonked on the head by a foot bridge when they were standing there shouting FAB-U-LASSSSS
Joe is his usual chipper self!
Danielle needs to grow up and geta life. I still laugh when I watch. I cannot believe adults act this way.
That would apply to all of them….maybe not so much Carolyn, but Teresa, Jacqueline, the chunky faced daughter, the Kims….
I’m from Paterson NJ & I really believe the NJ Housewives were scrapped off the bottom of my shoes!
Dumb, dumber, dumbest. Bravo hit a real low with this bunch.
Shouldn’t the title be: “Let our nation’s embarrassment continue!”?
I call this show “Let’s go over to each others tacky house and talk about Danielle hour”
Kudos to Danielle for getting up and walking out on 2-faced Kim G during her crazy restaurant rant. That wo-man is a total user.
yea lets hope they dont show danielle this week,and its not an accent shes just an idiot who cant speak correctly. Thats why shes pushing her daughters into modeling and sining so she can freeload off them when her reality career ends.
