Yeah, that was a weird promo for next week. I almost thought it was for NYC housewives. I must say i was really happy to see Dina. I miss her. I have a "Zen Jen" yoga teacher (no lie that's her nick name). And I also picked up my phone and googled the thing about Theresa being pregnant with a baby boy :-)

I don't know. The truth is we all have regrettable moments. It would suck to have the worst of them on camera and used to define us.

Theresa has a lot of stress in her life. Caroline is going through menopause, and if you've been through it you'll know, your emotions are all over the place. It plays hell with yor perspective and with your verbal filter.

Maybe this shouldn't have to be the 15 minutes we judge them by.

I don't recall either me or any of my friends losing our verbal filters because of menopause. I won't give Caroline that. Besides, she's been digging at Teresa all season long. She's been relentless on screen as well as during those diary things they record

I went through menopause - I didn't lose my filter. That excuse doesn't hold water with me.

I too think it's funny how different we all see the show!!

I don't like any of them anymore...The constant talk about sex with Melissa and Joe and Teresa and Joe is nauseating.Is this what Bravo thinks viewers want to see or hear about????

I think Jacqueline needs some therapy and maybe take Lauren with her....

Maybe they need to revamp the whole cast or just end the show all together!

Yeah, I agree. The constant sexual banter is, well, icky. And I think it's time to call it a day. In the first two seasons they had a villain to be a foul. Now that she's gone and they're turning in each other, the whole thing is a bit of a train wreck.

I know what you mean, Misty. I had a former friend like Teresa. You always had to pick a side, and if you weren't with her, you were against her. I felt like I was always walking on eggshells around her. It was very draining.

I'm not happy with Caroline in this latest episode, but I'm finding Teresa very hard to take. They keep going over the same ole b.s. Everyone.

I read the article in People Magazine about Jac & Chris's son Nicolas being diagonsed with autism while this show was filming. How Jac&Chris put up with all of these people's BS durig this time and not just go off on their pettiness is unbelieveable.

Agree with all the other posters what stirrers Kathy & Caroline are.

What really got me was in the preview for next week, Caroline made some sort of a statement regarding Teresa starting trouble with her sister (Dina) and how she needs to stay out of it, but isn't that what she is doing by telling Melissa and Kathy all the bad things Teresa has said about them??

Oh but Teresa did it FIRST, and besides Caroline is the wisest and smartest woman in Jersey, if not the WORLD!

Isn't it amazing how we didn't know that until this show started 4 seasons ago? ha ha ha

Will be saving my money on this one. She raised two spoiled boys and pretty much belittled her daughter, some mothering and I don't care to hear anything she wants to tell me.

I know Countrydaze, I just had to put that up here as a joke. I don't think it will hit the bestsellers list. I loathed Caroline the first season, surprisingly grew to like her in seasons two and three, and while I'm not back to the loathing point, she has really tanked in this season. I still like her hubby Albert. He and Chris Laurita are always so level-headed.

Being as devilish as like to be, I may just start making alist off this thread tracking down you, Huk, and others. I'll then send you Mama Manzos book with a pretty little bow on release day. Mwaah haa haa!


All of you may then burn it, line the cat box, or pick up dog doo with it. :-)

The first season, when Caroline said "Let me tell you something", I use to listen. Now I know better and turn the channel. I predict that within a year, we will see this book on sale at The Dollar Tree.

The timing of the book is not good. I think it said March of next year. I expect this fall's reunion to be like the season 4 RHONY reunion which I likened to the first 20 minutes of 'Saving Private Ryan' -- a bloody mess! ALL of them came out looking terrible. So with the aftermath of what I expect to be a hot mess, I don't think people will be clamoring for her book. It will be like NY -- fire them all!

I'm almost feeling sorry for Caroline but I don't. She's delusional this season. Sirius ~ Seriously? And Teresa is now the sole reason that she and Dina don't talk? This woman needs some counseling or therapy.

As for Melissa and the possibility that she might have been a dancer or cocktail waitress at some point in the past ~ who cares?! I hope everyone ignores the guy shown in the preview.

Kappy, I agree. It was painful watching her on Sirius. Who cares what she has to say?

I definitely need to rewatch this. I fell asleep because it was so hard to listen to Dina whispering. Usually they have subtitles when its hard to hear, but i could barely hear her and gave up.

Sounds like the reunion is going to be a knock down drag out.....Teresa said something on WWHL last night about her brother lying and bringing their father into it.

It made me sad to see Dina on the show with Teresa. Why stir the pot? Why go on this miserable show to validate that she and Caroline are on the outs.

I've had know-it-alls like Caroline in my life. I just shine them on and let it bounce off.

It did seem, however, that Teresa has made little jokes about her friends and family that they didn't like, and she's to dizzy to get it. She will stay dizzy as long as she's married to Joe and is under major stress. I hope this show ends before she has a breakdown.

All these arguments on this show are pointless. These women don't have real conversations about anything. After the frightfest of the reunion shows, I won't watch anymore. It's just too negative.

I don't understand Dina coming on the show at this point. Seems very catty, downright mean to me.For some reason I want to taste this Fabulini beverage...........did I hear they had Peach ????

Caroline on SIRIUS XM was awful, if she had topics prepared why not start a discussion with her family ?
