I forgot how WILD season 6 was
Besides the obvious chaos of Teresa and Joe’s sentencing, we were also blessed with the most insane couple imaginable. I cannot help but die laughing every time I see that scene because it was such a juvenile thing for him to say, but there was actual context behind it, so they all had to act serious while you could tell every single person was trying not to laugh 😂
Between the Amber fight in the basement that ended with Jim calling Gorga a dumb f*ck, that horrid mortgage commercial, and Amber’s performance when Melissa said she didn’t know about the cancer… this couple was reality TV gold. And the fact that they doubled down at the reunion somehow made it even better. Then we randomly get Victoria Gotti appearing out of absolutely nowhere to expose Rino’s affair with the mother. Also, Melissa absolutely seemed like she was on benzos that entire season. But at least we got Dina back, and she’s always been day one for me.
Did anybody watch the “Teresa Checks In” episodes after season 6? I’m just now watching them, and honestly, my heart breaks for Gia. That girl went through so much before she even turned 18, and those episodes make it even more obvious. Having to keep the secret that her mom was actually in prison while telling her sisters she was “away at work” had to be incredibly damaging. Watching Teresa miss Joe’s father’s memorial and Gia’s 8th grade dance (which btw, her date looked like a full grown 20 yr old man 😭) was honestly sad. The scene where Teresa’s father just walks away from the phone call while Gia is crying genuinely broke my heart. You can really see how hurt he is. Gia having to step up and basically be the mother and having to discipline the sisters really seems like it robbed her of a lot of her teenage years.
Also, Teresa absolutely should’ve turned the diary she sent to her attorney into a book. If she already did and I somehow missed it, please tell me because I would 100% read it!
