Currently watching for the first time and I’m on season 13 right around where Luis’ mask is falling. There’s a few instances where Teresa has to tell him the cameras are rolling and then his demeanour completely changes and watching it it’s just so obvious how he is the leader pushing Teresa to treat her brother and Melissa like trash. What I don’t understand is Gia seems so mature in every other situation (because she grew up so young I’m sure) but how does she not pick up on this? She’s always shitting on Joe and Melissa as well and it surprises me she doesn’t see it

Omg I’m on the first watch and Teresa was bad like yeah I liked her at moments but she was really annoying towards almost everyone especially Melissa. But Louie comes in and it just gets so much worse omg

In my opinion, Caroline inserts herself into so many problems and puts herself into other family’s drama where it is completely unnecessary. Especially with the whole Jacqueline and Teresa mess, that was not for her to insert herself into. She acts like this entitled woman who has to have control over everyone’s lives and it’s so frustrating. Don’t even get me started on the way she treats her daughter compared to her sons, goodness.

The manzos feel so homey everyone looks so young with no filler I miss it omg and the houses

Currently on season 5 & I am SO OVER hearing about Teresa this Melissa that Joe this Joe that. It’s been TWO seasons of CONSTANTLY listening to this never. ending. feud 🥲 please tell me it gets better!

P.S. Teresa’s weird obsession with her brother is SO strange to me

That I might do my fourth ever rewatch of the show. Even the Soggy Flicker seasons are better than some of the recent ones

I don’t have TikTok but I’ve heard Antonia is watching all the episodes and giving her reactions. What is her take on her aunt after she sees all she’s done to her parents? I wonder how she will be with her in the new season, knowing things she might not have known before.

Doing a rewatch and I was watching where Jackie invited them all to the Hamptons to try to get the group to bond & make peace. I’m dying to talk about the birthday party debate.

Jackie was far from my fave but there are things I think she said that made sense. In the fight over the kids birthday parties imo Jackie was right and Jennifer was being an a-hole. Ngl I think Jennifer is an ahole a lot lol but here I just think she was wrong.

Jackie was doing the party FOR HER KIDS. Not for the adults - not to impress anyone. Jennifer wasn’t doing the party for her kids. Jennifer was doing it to make herself look good. It was a “hey look at me and how much money we have and what we can buy”. I doubt her kids even had an opinion in what the party was going to entail.

I actually thought it was rather disgusting how Jennifer wanted to act like it was a competition. Like why crap all over Jackie not wanting to throw a gala for a 11 yr olds birthday? I agree with jackie it’s no about whether you have the money - it’s what you choose to do and there was no reason for Jennifer to talk down about it. Plus you do these huge ordeals and then each year you’re scrambling trying to top the previous year. Kids don’t need that.

Also it was around this time that Jennifer talked about her daughter being bullied - it made me wonder if the parties were a way of trying to buy her kids friends? I would hope not but idk. Jennifer was new money and she seemed to think money solved everything.

She was obsessed! It was actually gross how she was almost panting when she found out how wealthy Jackie was. And the questions she ask - no shame. So ick.

So that’s my take- what about y’all??

Okay lmk if you guys disagree but I don’t think Danielle deserved the amount of the bullying or disrespect the cast gave her. Caroline, we now know, is evil because of what she did to her own sister Dina and Jacqueline truly ISNT her own woman Danielle shouldn’t have said it but she wasn’t WRONG.

Danielle is a broken person with severe mental health issues but she didn’t do anything to them that warranted the verbal abused she endured season 2. Idk what do you guys think ??

I know this topic is a well dead horse, but with the confirmation that Teresa and Melissa will be back, I’m wondering if anyone else is neutral on them, and sees them equally (somewhat) entertaining and annoying.

Honestly, I think they’re very similar: style, lifestyles, questionable husbands (lol)—and I think that’s why they never get along. They both want to “be in charge” of the family unit and the show and it’s equally tiring. I also think what they dislike in each other is what they refuse to see in themselves.

Melissa is…a bit better with words and a quicker thinker. Teresa is def running on dial-up up there, and plays victim—but so does Melissa. It’s like ping pong, and the cast on the show is caught watching their never ending match. Oh, not to mention them having their ride-or-dies attack the other for them. It’s like I’m watching Game of Thrones 😂.

In short, I don’t think much will change with RHONJ coming back. Especially with the statements they made about reconciling. But, at the same time I am a bit hopeful and will be watching.

What do you guys think?

EDIT: the vitriol in this sub is interesting. Didn’t think being neutral on two strangers would have such strong reactions lol.

I’m in a a rewatch right now, and I need to get this off my chest lol. Andy constantly is correcting Teresa, and calling her out regarding her bullshit responses, lies, exaggerations, etc at every reunion. And I’m flying through the seasons, so it’s all fresh. She is absolutely insufferable- ESPECIALLY when you are watching back to back like me 🤣. When are we calling it quits with her??? She is the absolute fkn worst. We keep losing good additions but they continue to keep her 😩 if juicy joe is was still in the picture, I would be more accepting of her presence. Okay I’m done lol!

I drove past her store on New York Avenue in
Huntington Village and I noticed the sign was gone and shop was empty. Anyone know what happened?

So I’ve never seen this season before

Anyone else see Jackie really forcing the “I love my husband” thing ever since Theresa did that D bag thing at the birthday party? (Like cmon gal. Who does that? At their party… spreading rumors. Good ole tre)

Jennifer’s mom is so messy 😂😅 it’s ridiculous.

This season seems boring. I’m on e9 where the psychic comes.

It’s so weird to see Gia growing up. In college. Crazy

All the girls are so Beauty-ful… all I remember is Melania “give me pizza you old troll” 😂😂😂 and Gia telling Tre that Jacqueline & Caroline were torturing her 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

Sad to hear about the Gorgas father 😭

I was listening to the podcast Strictly Stalking and about 3/4 of the way through it, I figured out it was Vanessa, Louie’s ex! Admittedly I kinda dropped off of NJ before Louie entered the picture, so I didn’t know anything about this story. It wasn’t until she mentioned Teresa (by saying his new wife is a woman known for flipping tables and a big part of the RH franchise) that I put two and two together. It’s the first time she’s spoken publicly since the NDA ran out (according to her, not sure when it was recorded) and there’s a lot of interesting stories. I had no idea what a scumbag he is. It makes me really concerned for T. I do not like or respect her at *all*, but no one deserves the treatment Louie’s exes went through.

It’s the most recent episode. Her full name is in the description so people more clued in than I should recognize it right away.

just started binging RHONJ this week and I’m already on the s2 reunion. I don’t know what I’ve been doing or why I wasn’t into this series at first but I’m here! after giving RHORI a try and being pleasantly surprised, I decided to go try other locations and landed on New Jersey. I see the comparison of RI and NJ being that the women have real relationships and know each other, and being thoroughly entertaining. I don’t even know where to begin with my thoughts on everyone but I’m looking forward to learning how the Giudice saga unfolded. so much to catch up on, I’m trying not to even read the news about them until I get to that season 😬

my cast ratings so far:

teresa 👍

danielle 👎

jacqueline 👍

caroline 👍
