I was kinda watching; honestly I couldn't understand what their mom was saying when she told the story.

I just wonder since neither one "listens" or seems to "hear" how much of it is the language barrier. I know English is their second language. Maybe some of it has to do with that? Perhaps they really don't understand as well as someone that grew up speaking English? Also, they have a different "culture" than Americans. What seems "normal" to us, may not be for authentic Italians. Tre always says she was brought up "old school" so probably some of it is cultural.

I don't know. I think most of it is her being extremely defensive.

Finally watched the episode. All I can say is...

wtf. Teresa needs to keep her mouth shut and do as she is told. She constantly thinks she knows best and has a condescending tone to everything she says. The therapy session was just a waste of time. I feel for the Dr. because you could plainly see that he was annoyed.

[=Lavender=]

She looks like COUNT Dracula when she puts on her lipstick/gloss/liner.......wow that was a bad shot and did her NOOOOOOOO justice.

LOL..

My hubby walked passed and made barking noises.. She has many bad shots in my opinion. I dont' think she's attractive at all..

Anyway - The therapy session, in my opinion was a farce. It wasn't serious. What a joke Both of them are.

I like Rosie, she seems cool..

Why go to the (physical) therapy session and then basically tell the therapist that his method of treatment will not work you'd rather do it your way?

I agree with those that did not think much of that session. To me it looked like they did not really get to the root of anything major. From what was shown, it seemed like both Teresa and Joe, in varying degrees, had an issue with the other one not paying enough attention to the other one and their respective families at a time in their lives, mainly when Teresa and Melissa were each pregnant with growing families.
That seemed to be when or what the start of this was?

All I know is I didn't think much of the session and it really didn't resolve or get to the root of anything. Very anti-climatic.

However the saddest and most telling moment of the show for me was when Teresa was telling Milania (?) that she was going to meet Joe for "lunch" and Milania said "Who cares about Zio Joe? That said A WHOLE LOT to me.

The walls have ears, as the saying goes, and the children are being affected by this bull****.

I hate to say it, but I don't see Teresa and her brother and their respective families resolving this. They may only be able to do the major holidays together and that's it.

Roomate Greg. It's been mentioned and seems to pretty obvious.

That's my issue with HofNJ. Chris Laurita is involved and being sued for questionable business practices but none of his business dirt is mentioned on the show. If the allegations are true then he has no more integrity than the Giudices.

IMO, the difference with the Manzos and the Lauritas in comparison with Teresa and Juicy is, yes, the Manzos and Lauritas "dirt" does make news just like the Guidices.

However the big difference I see is the Manzos and Lauritas, don't FEED the news. In other words, they don't give interviews to magazines (Legit or gossip) to feed the stories or explain themselves; either they keep their mouths shut about it or "no comment" or let the lawyers do the talking.

Or, if the they (Manzos/Lauritas) do speak, the know how to effectively spin things; that is not Teresa's strong suit. Again one may not believe Man-rita spins, but they don't sound as ridiculous or contradictory as Teresa's spins. Teresa does not usually help herself when she opens her mouth.

Teresa is practically the cover girl and tenant for In Touch/Style or whatever magazine it is (Kim Zolciak-Bierman from RHOA is another one). A lot of celebrities make the news for things in their lives that are both good and bad, but when the celebrity is actively assisting by giving quotes to articles or interviews,then said celebrities should not get pissed off when people question them about their "personal" lives like Teresa did when Jac was asking her.

"No comment" means to me personal/off limits subject (even if the subject is public knowledge via the news, etc).

Some may say Jac was nosy, but considering the interviews/stories Tre has given and since Jac and Tre are/were friends, I don't think Jac was totally off base for asking Tre "What's the real deal?"

The Guidices bankruptcy cases are still not discharged or accepted, yet they are building an addition to your house (even if it is family labor, the supplies cost money) No one is saying life stops after bankruptcy, but it seems no lessons have been learned. (prioritizing).

From what I gather the addition is not for the parents to live in so is there really a rush to add this addition and the bankruptcy is still in progress and my husband may go "away"? I guess I would be very cautious financially speaking given all the question marks going on right now.


My only issue with that scene in the Laurita's backyard with Jac, Tre and eventually Caro was Jac should not have dragged the conversation on for hours. When Jac saw that Tre was lying/ "ineffectively spinning" things, Jac should have just left it alone instead of trying to make a point. The conversation would have ended maybe after 20 minutes not from daylight to nightfall.

Also I think Chris called his sister Caro and told her what was going on with Jac and Tre , and Caro made an appearance in the Lauritas backyard under the guise of returning some children' clothing.


I understand Tre needs money and that is probably why she does the interviews/quotes, but hey everything in life has pluses and minuses and Tre shouldn't get upset when friends question things they read in magazines and it may or may not jibe with what friends see in "real" life.

Having said that, I still give Tre a shout out for her hustle, that is a tuff cookie and "mama is bringing home the bacon."

I agree. Tre has capitalized on her fame from being on the show. She is bringing home the pancetta. She would have never had such opportunities to make money if it were not for the show but she needs to own up to the fact that she goes get paid and talks ka-ka about her friends/cast mates.

She takes no ownership over any of her failed relationships whether it is with family or friends.

Theresa is actually an embarassment to herself.

Did the contractor say where he got his information from? I'm wondering if soon Tre will accuse Jax of being the one who told him. Maybe that's when Jax quit the show.

Maybe she did, maybe she didn't.
