Preview Spoilers of Tonight's HWNJ Reunion

Aye, yi, yi..I'm watching previews of tonights show on Bravo. Poor Teresa...the host is gay, so after Teresa telling Danielle that Joe meant nothing by his statement until she made drama about it, he jumps in with his opinion..nicely, but still, I felt bad for Teresa.

Also, Caroline breaks down while Danielle has got the quiet sympathetic victim look down pat...ugh!

Caroline on some talk/entertainment/news clip - gotta give Bravo credit for putting drama together - that she never knew Danielle, no one knew Danielle, she did visit the same hair salon, but until the show no one knew her (or something to that effect)

*duh another "scripted reality show" really?!!

I know Reader. Dina and Caroline only knew Danielle as "that crazy lady from the hair salon" so guess who Bravo chooses to be on the show with them. If Jacqueline hadn't befriended her, (or did the show tell her to..scripted?) might we have had a bit more decent person on the show?

Gotta love that Smoking Gun! Amazing how a 30 room house, that, who knows what happens there, turned into an apartment in Miami, full of coke and money! Oops!

I know I am gonna catch Hell over this..But my husband on occasion has made "that's so gay" comment. I know it is offensive,and I won't try to act as though it isn't.BUT,I will say,he does not say it with the intention of hurting someone,I think he is just being him and he doesn't think about it.He is called "redneck","cracker" and numerous other things in daily life at work.(He is a Front end driver for the Nation's largest Garbage Company),and he runs into all sorts.He just lets it roll off his back and keeps working.I am sure if he thought there were anything to it,he would handle it differently.With that mentality,I think that's why he says whatever comes out most of the time.He doesn't sweat it,and doesn't feel like others should either.And believe me,this is something he IS working on. But at the same time,and correct me if I am wrong,Isn't Caroline and Dina's brother Jamie gay? Yes ,I am sure it would seem like a conclusion I jumped to in the episode where he was shopping for decor and that I used a stereotype to make me think this,and I will admit it did put a thought in my head.But it was later in the episode where Dina was discussing how their mother taught them to be "excellent wives and mothers" and he goes "I am a great wife.." or something to that effect.That is what made me curious.SO to make a long story shorter,if he IS indeed gay,one could only assume if Teresa's husband is "Anti-gay",then they would not be as close to her as they are.Am I right?

Lori, I was disappointed with the host's comment about how he took it because he is gay. He needs to be impartial and Teresa said Joe had a lot of gay friends growing up whom he loved.

I feel when guys say that they mean 'feminine' more than a jab at the gay community. After all, there's nothing feminine about Joe, lol. He's like a boxer dog...a cute one.

With that out, why does Danielle continue to attack the women and say the whole book was lies. After all she gave the name of the DA who made the deal with her. People can find out the facts of the case.

Yes,Cricket and now as I am sitting here watching the show,I can feel the resentment Andy is directing at Teresa,and that has not even been mentioned at this point in the show.I have always liked Andy,but shame on him for behaving this way.This leads me to believe somewhere in his experience he hasn't learned you must remain impartial in this situation.

I'm glad I'm not the only one seeing it. So Joe said, "Come on Gaylord." So what! I don't think the istructor was gay @ all. Joe just thinks dancing is not up his ally..he was making fun.

Caroline just said that her brother Jamie is gay and Joe welcomes his completely.

Yay, Teresa..she just said they had a gay friend over that night and that friend said anyone who took offense must be stupid. Hah, hah..the host then asked if she was calling him stupid.

Danielle is throwing venim looks @ Caroline, who won't take her garbage and she prob. blames for not being able to attack Dina any more. She's just waiting for her moment to get into it with Caroline.

Ugh,now I have to wait until Thursday to see the rest.I love that we get 2 hours of reunion,but wish they didn't break it down. Yeah,right AFTER my post,I heard them announce their brother is gay.I had the vibe he was,but wasn't sure.So I am glad my assumptions were correct about Teresa.

What? The host, Andy Cohen brings up the smoking gun report; Caroline says Danielle ruined their family and Andy asks if something just happened and BAM..the show is over until Thursday. Darn..I don't want to wait.

I just read that Andy sent all the women a copy of the "Last Supper." Guess Danielle's threats about what she'd do to Teresa and look how she ruined Dina didn't sit too well with Caroline.

I thought Teresa looked tense tonight and uncomfortable sitting next to Danielle.

How fake can Danielle be, saying she sure hoped it wasn't her that caused the rift between Jacqueline and Dina..oh no..couldn't be. Don't tell her that..(looking oh so upset and concerned.) UGHHHHH!

Yeah I think I was more concerned for Teresa tonight then I was for Jacqueline.Wouldn't it be something if Jacqueline actually went into labor during taping?? Hmm..And what was this "undisclosed location"?? wth?

I really like Caroline. She's a straight shooter. She said in episode 2 she was going to investigate, she did, and then she said she did it! I respect the way she handled the 'mafia' question tonight by saying she loved her father in law, and is proud to be his daughter in law. Caroline handles difficult situations, difficult people, and difficult questions honestly and with intelligence. She is my favorite. I also like Dina. Every scene she had with her daughter was one of laughter and fun and lots of love. You can tell she is a good mom. Teresa is funny and cute and has lots of energy; I enjoy watching her. I do not like Jacqueline. I'm not sure where she stands on anything. I question not only her choice of friends but her confused and muddled thinking. She has an inability to answer questions directly, and to make the right decisions. Even on tonight's reunion show, she couldn't be clear about where she stands. There seems to be things lurking beneath her surface that I can't put my finger on. Too bad she's ruined relationships within the family!

Not only that, Jackie, but even after her mother told it would be a good idea, she went ahead and had her lips botoxed. They don't look normal. She seems to be a follower.

I'm hoping that since Andy sent the ladies a copy of the prvevious show, it gave Jacqueline a smack upside the head that she was just a pawn in Danielle's quest to ruin Dina and she finally gets what type of person Danielle is. However, they could be faking us out having the sisters and sister-in-law sitting together.

It's too bad that Dina and her brother are on the outs. I hope he isn't as gullible as Jacqueline.

Reader, re your question about the rental homes, I think the ladies were all in their own homes, so I don't think so, but I could be wrong.

Danielle seemed to pout during the parts that were not about her! I wonder what she said to make Caroline cry!

ITA, Lotsofkids ~ Danielle was in full pout mode for most of the time, especially if the others were enjoying themselves. Bravo really really should NOT bring this woman back on.

Cricket, Andy didn't bring up The Smoking Gun report. TSG posted the report yesterday and the reunion show was taped a couple of weeks ago (before Jacqueline had her baby).

Kappy< I read somewhere that right now Danielle is the only one who has verbally commited to come back next season!!! the others aren't sure they want to put their family's through that again. I thought it was"interesting" how Danielle said she's only had her boobs and botox done,if you look at her mug shot, her nose is different!

She admitted having her nose done when she did 4th hour,so dunno why she denied it on the reunion.

Thanks Crickett - I think maybe the Atlanta homes? some of those women couldnt afford it, and one of the new HW of OC didnt know about the a/c so it got me wondering...

I think the gay comments are wrong, and if we hear it and allow it, then we are guilty of racism. what is that quote about taking away something and not saying anything, then soon... everything is gone (ok that is so not helpful! I went to the Holocaust Museum yesterday in Skokie IL - we shouldnt remain silent.)
