'Real Housewives of New Jersey' Recap: And Teresa Giudice Stands Alone


It was a little meek and mild, but Jacqueline Laurita finally let Teresa Giudice have it tonight on The Real Housewives of New Jersey. While she tried to keep things sweet and civil, in the end Teresa and her lies just pushed her to the point where she declared that she would be distancing herself from the Giudice family.
 
It's about time. Honestly, if it wasn't for Caroline Manzo surprisingly dropping in on the whole confrontation, I'm not sure Jacqueline would have actually gotten there. So thank goodness for Caroline. Teresa has a way of manipulating and confusing Jacqueline, and making her think maybe she is Heckyll & Jyde, even though all Jacqueline wanted to do was understand what really was going on with Teresa. And why she had been Tweeting with Danielle Staub?
But understanding Teresa is challenging, to say the least.

We JUST saw Teresa tell Jacqueline how she gets paid by the tabloids for stories, and then there she sat tonight claiming she never said that. It was also almost laughable witnessing just how delusional she is while she droned on about how she doesn't hold a grudge while she spewed about the grudge she has against Melissa Gorga from two years ago. Talk about Heckyll and Jyde. Best part: When Jacqueline asked why Melissa would have bad feelings toward her, Teresa screamed, "frickin’ jealousy!” Jealous of what, she didn't say, nor is it obvious.

Instead of being honest with the one person who has stood by her side and still would, Teresa just yelled at Jacqueline and tried to manipulate her. Then, out of nowhere, Caroline appeared, and Teresa knew she going down.

There was plenty of yelling about the cookbook, and Teresa's tabloid dealings. Then Jacqueline did some bizarre role playing that she really shouldn't have done, but her point was a good one, even if it was lost on Teresa. 

In the end, Caroline told Teresa that she wouldn't be anything but cordial to her from there on out, and that she felt like she'd never been anything but an accessory to Teresa. Jacqueline told her she was going to distance herself from Teresa and her family, which was pretty ballsy for Jacqueline, even if she did kiss her after that. 

Now Teresa stands alone. Slowly and surely she's driven every friend and family member away and out of her life. Based on previews and what we gather from Twitter, she doesn't stop driving either. It's pretty much Teresa vs. everyone, and I don't know when or if that's going to change.

  2. I really do love Teresa! I'm sure she's a really wonderful person and would be honest open with THE RIGHT people. She just hasn't found them yet.

  3. She was good, but fame and love of money have ruined her. The only chance Teresa would b to kick her low life husband to the curb & wake up!!

  4. Look, Teresa has it hard - anyone with half a brain can see this. As for the silly connotation that Caroline was there to help jacquiline do the right thing is ridiculous. Caroline wants to be the Mother of everyone and if you do not go her way - there is no way. This is seen with her kids to her friends and even her sister...again read between the lines and listen to all that is said on screen....and NOT SAID....Teresa yes has made some mistakes and maybe didn't apologize like she should have...but to constantly want to dig into her life and choices...talk bad about her etc is ridiculous...they all have baggage...they all have issues...they all have said things and done things to be ashamed of...yet...so many of you sway from side to side picking one over another...wake up...

  5. The only redeeming quality in Jacq is her boobs. I could care less; or even notice, the gibberish she spews. I just fixate on those big, fat, fun bags!

  6. How do all the people talking about how wonderful Teresa is account for all the lying she was caught doing? Go on, please bring on the excuses.

  8. this is the only season of RHONJ I have ever watched, so I didn't know any of the wives stories. I noticed there was something off about Teresa a month into the season. that woman is sad and delusional. I have to say I cringe when ever she speaks because her version of events are sadly deluded. anyway, she is entertaining to watch, too bad that this is her life.

  9. NONE of these woman are angels. They all have their faults, all have gossiped behind the backs of the other ladies and all have lied about something at some point. With that being said, I think Teresa hit the nail on the head about jealousy being the root cause of the animosity towards her. She has, without question, had the most success and fame from the show and this bugs the hell out of queen Caroline, a type I personality and even her own husband who has gone from the role of provider to soon to be incarcerated felon. I know this is not scientific, but it seems like I see Teresa on the cover of every other tabloid, not so much with the other woman. She's had how many New York Times best sellers? How many others have been on Celebrity Apprentice? She is the face of RHONJ! She pulled her family out of bankruptcy and has been the sole provider while raising her four daughters AND having to deal with an idiot, alcoholic, philandering husband on the verge of going to prison. She surprised the hell out of alot of people, me included, and is a survivor. Jacqueline and Ashley, DISASTER! Caroline and her three loser kids, DISASTER, so on and so on. I don't personally like Teresa, but that doesn't mean I can't respect her.

  10. The blogger wrote "Teresa has a way of manipulating and confusing Jacqueline" really, I think Jacqueline does just fine confusing herself, without anyone's help! That foolish woman is nothing but a hand puppet for Caroline.
