HI

Is your hubby OK? Last night show he looked upset/sad.

Wow T, I think you are spot on about Melissa...She is like a snake in the grass. I've always thought (from episode one) that she was very manipulative of your brother. Hopefully he will watch the season and see how she truly is. I love watching your Friendsgiving. Very sweet and yes the Manzo's are your fammily. You don't have to be blood to be family. I loved watching you and Joe at the Turkey place and so glad you didn't get the live turkey! Love love love you on this show and can't wait to get a copy of your cookbooks!

YOUR AWESOME THE FOOD LOOKED GREAT AND EVERYONE REALLY ENJOYED THEM SELVES, and you know what, it's better that you were surrounded by ppl that actully love you and respect you, Melissa blongs where those cop=okies went... need I say more

Teresa you seem to be trying to do everything for your family, which I applaud. But Joe doesn't help you. Every time we see him he's drinking, complaining or asleep. At a dinner party he should have taken care of the girls bad behavior after all you cooked all day & made the house beautiful. I feel like you & your brother's issue is Melissa. She is trying to act like she cares but she is the one that slams you with little comments like "we pay our bills" & talking about your finances. She should be careful, it could be her one day. The entire country is in an economic crisis & she shows zero empathy for others.

You may have the 'Switch' but you've shown a lot of class lady!! My prayers are with you and your beautiful family for continued success!!

Teresa I understand now when you mentioned, the truth will come out. It is obvious that your sister in law has envy issue. You keep being you. You rock .. God Bless and all your family .

I felt really bad for you at Thanksgiving not having your brother there and I felt really bad for your brother too, You could tell that both of you are hurting from all of this. It's sad that your brother lets Melissa break your family up maybe some day he will realize that he needs to stay out of you and his wifes quarrels and Melissa needs to leave him out of them, she is very sneaky and plays the victim when she is the one stiring things up. All you can do is turn the other cheek once you realize how pathetic Melissa is then it will be easier to just ignore her and laugh at her when she acts insecure with her digs.

Love you teresa!!! I would have just told her that the card hurt my feelings. Keep your head up!

Love you Teresa! So sorry you have to deal with all that family drama! I too have a toxic sister in law. I feel your pain

Pls grow up n live Mellisa out of you n ur brothers drama,stop playing the blame game.....have been watchn from season one,you are not innocent its call karma you n manzo treat Daniell like she is not a human being...

Teresa, A gracious hostest (or host) accepts whatever someone brings to their party. If that's all she could bring (the cookies), that's it. Say, thank you and put them out with all the other desserts. If you wanted her to make something specifically, you should have told her. Also, you (or your mother-in-law) wasted the food. Because no one touched them that night doesn't mean that the kids wouldn't have eaten them at another time. Class and grace. Just think about it. -

You are the best.

I loved this episode! Keep your head up Teresa...Melissa is clearly the wedge between you and your brother. You are correct, she is poison and she is garbage not you! Your girls are so beautiful, and I love seeing your family and the Manzo family.

I'm proud of you Teresa for being the bigger person. You keep doing what you're doing and everything will fall into place.

melissa's card to you seemed perfectly reasonable and actually quite nice. especially considering what she wrote was factual you did RE-DO your house so therefore writing congrats on your re-done house is not a dig its a congratulations. you seem to look for random petty things to get mad at melissa for and you just look like your grasping at straws. the fact that you had what a year old card readily available to pull out in front of your guests made you look pathetic and juvenile. let the small crap go and grow up already.

Teresa, You know its not just Melissa at fault for making faux paus...but your brother could get involved if it really was that important. Hes a grown man and if he has an issue with the way that she is "respecting" your family by bringing store bought cookies, then he could have done something to help her bring something a little more appropriate as you seem to feel. It is quite apparent that she is more than capable of cooking as well.

Team Teresa !!!! Friendsgiving looked like alot of fun. You have great friends and I know it lifted your spirits to be able to enjoy the holiday with them. I am so glad you didn't meet and eat your turkey....I love turkey just as much as the next person, but I don't want to be introduced to it first :)

I just saw the show last night where you penned a letter to your brother and I LOVE THAT NAILPOLISH COLOR YOU WERE WEARING -would you share what it was?

BTW -love you!!

I cannot believe Joe, Teresa's brother, acts like he does. Why do some people think the world revolves around them..we all have lives of our own..no one thinks the same and thats no reason to disrespect them..he needs to get that chip off his shoulder and try being nice sometimes..I have stopped watching the show..Teresa doesn't know how to act..maybe thats just Jersey way..did these people loose their class along the way...money doesn't buy you class...

SUPER T! Looks like your Friendsgiving was faboulous! I felt bad watching you get upset over your brother during your thank you toast to your friends. And by the way.. you have more patience than anyone I have ever seen... you should be cannonized for Sainthood =)... you cooking a meal for 20, your taking care of all 4 girls & joe is sleeping? Uh Uh.. i'd send all 4 girls up to that room with pots & pans and wooden spoons and tell them to play a wake up song. =) By the way.. I just love how Gia is turning into such a little mommy & great sister... she's a great girl.

As far as Melissa goes.. as an outsider looking in.. she started all of this drama with you because she was jealous of you & Joey's closeness.. she wanted to be his #1 in every area of his life.. She has placed strain on the family dynamics by her blatent spitefulness..I hope it all comes to an end and all of you as a family can move passed it if you havent already.

You are a wonderful person and I cant wait to get you new cookbook!!!!

Love you Teresa. Your Thanksgiving looked beautiful. The comment to Melissa was meanhearted but I can see where you got pushed to that point. Your brother also let some unkind things spill out of his mouth towards you so I'd say you are even. I hope your relationship can be repaired.

Teresa....I love you on the show! I've been a fan since season 1 and I love you more than ever on the show. I'm pulling for you all the way! Hope you come to Chicago soon!!! Much love!

Teresa, I love you and really feel for you with what you are going through with your family, but I have to tell you, you need to stop the tit-for-tat stuff with Melissa. Clearly, she is jealous of you and gets her digs in whenever possible, but you have to focus on repairing and maintaining your relationship with your brother. Be the bigger person and take the high road like Caroline said and ignore the things Melissa does. It will go a long way toward fixing the family relationship. After a while, it will finally sink in with her that her digs and jabs aren't working and she'll back off. Please Teresa, for your own peace of mind you must work on your self-control and don't let her goad you into a reaction that just fans the flames. I know it's tough, but just be your beautiful smiling self and focus on your husband, your beautiful daughters, your parents, your brother and your friends.

Are you ever going to take responsibility for any of your actions?

T, you are a verrrry strong woman and have the biggest heart, you just keep going and I admire that so much, you are a wonderful wife and mother. Now.....question: what is this about the house having to be gutted?? what is that about and why? Keep marching, you're doing great!

Teresa you are a very nice woman. You try to protect your heart from hurtful people but sometimes it doesn't work. Your brother has been a jerk to you. Your sister in law seems to want to work things out with you and you two are more alike than you think. Please bury the hatchet and get back with your family. Everyone would love to see the Gorgas and the Guidices having a ball together as the fun and stylish family they are. God bless your family.

Theresa all I gotta say is keep on, keeping on. It's so apparent that the Melissa instigates the division between you and your brother, even Stevie Wonder could see that. You guys will get it together, you are blood...and blood never strays to far from each other. Keep the faith!!

Hi Teresa,

I notice that on your personal web site that you list the table of contents for your new book, but I am interested in purchasing Skinny Italian. Could you please provide more information about the contents of your first book? Like most consumers, I would like a little bit more informatgion before purchasing the book that I am interested in.

Thank you, XOXO

I love you your husband juicy joe and ur beautiful daughters! your sis in law melissa is a joke and she loves the drama between u and ur brother . she is evil!

I can't believe you let your husband talk to you like that! You certainly look like you've been through a lot since last season. You seem to have lost a bit of you spark. Good luck.. things will get better!

It is a shame she is that way with you. When I was married, a life time ago, I was very close with my sister in law. The funny thing is both me and my sis in law were married to brothers...we divorced both of them and to this day...still remain friends. Melissa needs to get over her bad self.

I have to mention that I am an advocate for the underdog and I feel that Danielle was discriminated against and made to feel she wasn't good enough nor rich enough to join the circle. For this she rebelled, those bullies caused her to react and I am proud of the way she stood up to them, even if she was alone. Danielle is starving for what most people hunger for, to be loved and accepted. She may have allowed the tactics of these bullies to consume her and she made foolish mistakes but their hatred drove her to it. Had they showed some love and compassion, it would not have escalated the way it did and I feel there may have been some jealousy in it, as well. I sense that those arrogant women may have felt somewhat threatened by Danielle as a single woman. I pray Danielle finds confidence in the knowledge that God loves and accepts her just as she is and she doesn't have to try to impress Him, just love Jesus. Melissa, thank you, Kathy and your husbands, for being real and not phoney. You are down to earth and not haughty nor rude or arrogant. God has poured His favour upon you and you don't have to apologize for the blessing that is on your life. Stay humble, meek, and loyal. Love you.

Love U Super T!! Melissa is just a jealous hater, ignore her!

Your Thanksgiving looked wonderful! I am so sad that you were not able to spend it with your brother and his family. It breaks my heart as my brother is not speaking to his family. But, he does have a favorite Aunt who chooses to be close to my sister in law instead of reconciling us, she takes their side and all is well with them. I hope that you are speaking to your brother. It seems that Melissa is jealous and knows how to push your buttons and please don't let that get to you. She is trying to drag you down because she envies you. Please continue to keep the high road and hopefully your brother will not take sides.

Hang in there Teresa. Your sister-in-law and, unfortunately, brother are transparent. I don't think much of your cousin either. You have shown a lot of class this season. We love you and your family.

SuperT, u r great. Melissa is a jealous hater,ignore her!!!!

Teresa! You , Caroline , Dina and Jacqueline are the real deal! You are awesome, hard-working Moms that LOVE, LOVE, LOVE their family. We all go through hardship and having friends with you is priceless. Whats horrible is the disrespect from family members (Melissa) with you and your brother. I hope you do reconcile with your brother and hope he sees the truth in Melissa. She is coniving and a BIG phony. I will continue to support your book because you're fabulous!

Here's just my humble opinion of what I see between you and your brother, Joe(and we know its been edited and we only get bits & pieces). It seems to me that both you and Joe are having a difficult time with each other's spouses. Maybe its more about you/Joe having issues with someone else becoming a priority in your lives vs. each other as your priorities. It is obvious how close you once were and that you both still love each other greatly. But, have you considered how hard it is to allow another female to take the #1 spot in Joe's life or the opposite for him with your husband in your life? I know you've been married for years, but sometimes it takes a bit longer and the flip of a "switch" to bring that feeling to the forefront. I pray that you and Joe will have a chance to sit down and talk (and listen) to each other. If this happens, I encourage you to sit quietly and let him speak. We have 2 ears and only 1 tongue - so listen more and speak less, even if its the hardest thing you'll ever do. And, once that happens, I pray that he will give you the same respect and listen more, too.

As a full blooded Sicilian I do not show up to other people's homes with out something even if it is store bought cookies! I do however put them on a different plate to show a little effort. It amazes me how some people dont even offer!! It does piss me off b/c it seems like a sign of disrespect. In some cases though, such as my sister-in-law, I would much rather it be store bought! She actually asked me "how do you know when jello is done?"!!!! Thank goodness my baby brother can cook!

I don't think there wasanything wrong with Melissa's card or the cookies, maybe she made some cookies that didn't turn out well and had to grab store ones.

Teresa, you are a beautiful person in and out. For the most part I think you hanndle the situation with Melissa and Joey very well. Melissa and Joey both are obviously jealous of your fame. It's sad watching her tear at your family's fabric just so she can get her 15 minutes... She IS a snake. I hope you keep your head up and never forget that you have fans that love you. Melissa will get what's coming to her one day.

Why do you keep going to Miami???? Come to Orlando!!!!! I have your books and would love to get one signed by you. PPPllllleeeeeaaaaaassssseeeeee!!!!

Team Teresa! Love you. Sorry about your sister in law, she is totally a snake in the grass. She thinks she is being nice, when in fact, she is making little jabs. She is a phoney.

Teresa, i LOVE love loooove you! your fun,pretty,supermom,superwife! and your so smart. love to be like you someday:)

Love from sara in norway.

Maybe I am wrong but you did gut and redo your house did you not. I like you Tresa but you are being way to petty. You alway's say show some class well there was No class in bring out that card. Good for Carolin and Jackie for telling you, you where wrong.

Bree10811... That card was literally DRIPPING with sarcasm and for Teresa to feel some sort of anger towards Melissa for that is CERTAINLY NOT grasping at straws. If you think that what she wrote is perfectly fine and not at all catty then I feel sorry for whoever falls in the path of your well wishes! Chris, who always has some sage advice is right: It's simply time for one or both of them to take the high road.

I love, love love you! I definitely thought that card was a dig. Besides, we're women, we read into evvverything. I'm pretty upset with Bravo for exposing family drama like this but unfortunately you love your brother and your brother loves you AND his wife. Yes, I think she is manipulative and I think they may be mistaking love and lust but whatever. Hold your head high and don't stoop to her level. You probably should have just called her up and said "b$tch" instead of throwing out the cookies ;)

Love you girl. Would love to know if you ever plan on coming to Houston ???
