I've got to say, I'm coming around to you and your family. You all seem to have fun and are enjoyable to watch. Don't let people get you down. I hope you stay the bigger person throughout this season.

Hey Hunny! Good have you back! Love You and Your Family!

You're SOOO SNEAKY! And NEWSFLASH... YOUR HUSBAND ISN'T INNOCENT! For him to allow Richie to Call his sister a bitch, and to "DISPLAY" how much money she had asked to borrow from him ($25,000.00), was downright disgraceful! Go and talk your trash to a gullible fool, because most of the viewers are not buying it!

I think you are an adorable family - Teresa needs to let things go and so do you all - she doesn't seem to want to and you continuously talk about it in your blog. Stalemate.

Melissa You and Joe are a breath of fresh air. Teresa is in serious denial about life in general.Anyone that has watched this show can see that! It's a shame that she has put her entire family through all this! Now she has lost good friends as well.

You are AWESOME Melissa, keep up the good work and let the haters hate

Love ya Meliss

I have to say for the first time i agree with you on something. Teresa was wrong to make that comment to Joe, you had every right to be upset, and he had every right to talk to you about it as he is your wife. In my personal experience teresa isnt realizing you arent going way he will not choose her over you. She has a difficult time admitting fault in any situation.

I however do not believe for one second you let anything go. You make snide remarks just the same as she does. "We pay our bill" remember? or "we're willing to take the fall so you can make money" you do the same thing she does! you guys are really alike you just play the game better. I dont get it with all this planting seeds...are you all gardners? She isnt trying to plant anything she doesnt think like that. She is being attacked in the media, her home life is chaos, she is fighting for her family to survive. When you are in attack mode like that and feel you cant trust those around you, you tend to lash out. Joe shouldnt of mentioned just how much money he gives teresa heck people could make the argument that he was in fact "planting a seed" Everyone needs to take a step back and realize the things you fault teresa for, rightly so or not, you do just as well if not better. She is going through an extreme time and her husband is not helping. She is alone and under a severe amount of stress. She's not going to open up to the people she feels threatened by and sadly it seems she considers you guys foe rather than friends. And honestly after watching this all play out who can blame her.

Its a shame that Bravo decide that ruining a family was better for ratings. This went as far south as it could because everyone one wants the spotlight, most of all you. If you guys are family and so forgiving and praise jesus then fix it.

How can someone hate their husband's sister so much? You and Kathy came on this show to slam and hurt Teresa for attention and money. No wonder she thinks families suck. Hers does. Laughing at Richie's threats is repulsive.

really lovers - come on grow up

Seriously, it's so sad to see this family attacking each other constantly. I would venture to say that in most families, when an outsider (non family member) attacks, regardless of the fighting and bickering that takes place within the family, you stand up for each other. You all talked about the impact on Teresa's kids, but what about your own? The entire series has become about Teresa and her inability to get along, but I must say, you all enable it. It's very clear to the viewers that there are issues with Teresa, and it's come across as if your are all feeding on it like scavengers. Watching the housewives is a guilty pleasure. When you see friends bickering over incidental issues, it's simply immature, perhaps funny at times. NJ Housewives has become this sad, sad story line. Truly if you've had enough, and family is "everything" to you Melissa, why do you continue to participate, and enable? Perhaps if you stood by your family, and set the example, and you were the sister that you want to have in Teresa, it would just be. You seem to me to enjoy her pain just a little to much. Sorry girl...

Melissa, I love you and Joe! You're love is beautiful! Your family is beautiful! Also, I applaud you for moving forward and for trying and trying with Tre. It seems like a difficult task but at least you aren't giving up, for the sake of your families. I do suggest that maybe you could seek Professional Help with your problems and issues, it might be a better solution that trying to deal with by yourselves. I look forward to seeing you more throughout the season!

It seems like all the HW except for T, conspired with one another as to what to write and say on their blogs this week and I can guess that it will continue throughout this season? I thought strong Jersey women had minds of their own? I guess there is only one that does! Ohhhhhhhhh, her blog has not been posted!

I am no team of T but now I feel like I need to be especially with everyone trying to bash her for every little thing she does/says or does not do/say.

Don't look into other people's lawn. Take care of yours.

NO ONE IS PERFECT!

Melissa, I love you and Joe! You're love is beautiful! Your family is beautiful! Also, I applaud you for moving forward and for trying and trying with Tre. It seems like a difficult task but at least you aren't giving up, for the sake of your families. I do suggest that maybe you could seek Professional Help with your problems and issues, it might be a better solution that trying to deal with by yourselves. I look forward to seeing you more throughout the season!

i've never seen a more passive agressive individual as yourself other than your relatives and friends on this show. really melissa??? you're innocent in all of this?? can you and the other passive aggressives in your cast sit back and take a look at how you are treating/have treated teresa? there were constant jabs and attacks toward her last season...but, one little dig from her and the world ends. i honestly can't believe that she hasn't said stupid things in the past that before this show you would have just laughed off and forgotten about them. you're all a bunch of lunatics. really. stop it. you are an embarrassment to yourselves. it all comes down to petty nonsense and greed and you're all guilty of it. forgive and forget and get on with your lives. you're all sad.

First, please leave Jesus out of the conversations and second You were very nice in the first episode and I hope it stays that way. Things won't change much with Teresa. I think your right about the jealousy but she is Joe's sister and it would be nice to see the family get along, especially for your kids .I hope this season has less fighting and shows us more about the lives of rich Italians from North Jersey, that would be so refreshing. All the houswive's shows should be like that. I wish you well.

Melissa, I think you are amazing!! I'm so glad that you joined the show and I love watching you and Joe together! I give you kuddos for putting up with Teresa, I have two sister-in-laws, but I couldn't imagine them acting the way she goes... good luck!

Melissa...If you had so many issues with Teresa. Why did you join the cast?

I believed then and now that you always had an agenda. Why else?

I don't get all this bitterness, backstabbing and airing of an immediate family members dirty laundry.

Well expect this, when Bravo is done with all of you,(because the fans are disgusted and will stop watching) you will have a husband, who will blame you in the end. It will happen.

It is

Melissa she really is a disgrace and i know you really wanted to make it work for your husband and kids but sometimes people are just far gone. Teresa really showed her true colors and you do not have to put up with being ridiculed and abused by her jealousy, truthfully i wish they would get her off the show..You just stay true to who you are and Joe stands by you thats all that matters, Good luck!

Melissa, you really need to take accountability also. You never do. You gave interview after interview after S3 bashing and bashing Teresa...your sisters and vulgar make up artist have said horrific things about Teresa all over Twitter. Do not act like you are innocent. Does Teresa say things she shouldn't, yes, but SO DO YOU! I can totally see why Teresa wouldn't want to talk about the bankruptcy issue on TV...she had to be subjected to that at the reunion, and yet your husband has to bring up the fact that he lent her $25,000 - was there a need for that on TV? I mean, come on. Both of you feed off of each other and do the same exact things you accuse Teresa of. So, stop thanking Jesus, stop calling people lovers and be real. I have 5 siblings and including my husband's family - 6 sister-in-laws, and we couldn't get along better. AND, we Italian, and our parents brought us up to love and respect our siblings AND our in-laws. Stop it already....you're just as guilty.

Maybe we should get you some dirt since you seem to be the one planting the "seed". So what is the game plan for this season? I know I know, Melissa plans Mother Teresa (sorry Mother Teresa for the insult) and lets Joey take all the heat for being the nasty one this year. Most of us can see through you.....you are jealous of your sister-in-law just as Joey is of his sister. Wow that man really hates his sister. If you were interested in being friends you would speak up for her when the others are bashing her. I didn't hear anyone speak up for her when the creepy husband said they should burn her at the stake. You guys are really disfunctional as a family. You know Teresa has everyone saying things about her and her husband (some of which is well deserved) why does her "family" feel they need to do the same and on TV too. Face it you and Kathy (and your husbands) came on her show with one thing in mind and that was to take her down. I wonder if it was worth it to any of you. This is coming from a non-Teresa fan yet I can see it just as clearly as the next person.

"I would leave him for a richer man", well if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck............. it must be a duck.

Stop bashing Teresa! Teresa was on the show first, NOT you! Your the stirrer and the one trying to split the family. You manipulate your husband. You don't like Teresa and everyone knows that from season 1. Your a hater on Teresa and your silly husband is blind. We all see it though. You try hard to be just like her!!!! Her comment in the book is soooo true. YOU ARE JEALOUS!!! SO JEALOUS!!!!

Melissa did Caroline help you write this blog? Sounds a lot like her. BTW..Can you please clean your toilet because it looks so dirty. The rim is really dirty. Just Saying

It's amazing how you all have the same story. The perfect cover to be crappy to your family. You should all be ashamed of yourselves.

Is anyone else confused by the fact that they bought a vacation house when she was pregnant with her first but then says they didn't have money to buy diapers? I also feel like Kathy and Melissa are having their husbands bring everything up on camera so they don't look bad. It seems obvious from their expressions and reactions during these conversations. Melissa's acting is actually worse then her singing. With all that said I can't believe every time we see them they are bashing her. I feel bad for all of them. I can only imagine how the other family members feel.

Why does this blog have some of the same exact quotes as Some of the other ladies'? I tried to watch, but I can no longer stomach the bullying, taken verbatim from the script they are all working. Bravo has allowed this nonsense to ruin a hit show. I'd rather spend my time watching bad hair Trump than the auto-tuned former Lookers employee! Epic fail hiring this one, Andy! Epic fail!

Teresa was obviously genuinly conserned for her brother, and being the idiot he is and needing drama to keep you to on the show, he throws her under the bus. There is nothing wrong with caring for your brother and telling him how you feel in confidence, but there IS something wrong with repeating what your sister told you IN CONFIDENCE on THE T.V!!!! Seriously, you two need to stop being so fake and get over yourselves!!! And btw, if you're the private RHONJ insider saying, none of you will come back if Tre does, I would stop because Teresa's a bigger star than all of you COMBINED and you'll end up getting fired. More importantly, how will you keep your role if the only reason they hired you was to stir up drama?!?! We know you do that well!!!

I love watching you & Joe together. I like Teresa & you. I do think you are handling everything wonderfully & good for you giving her a pass on some of the silly, uncalled for comments etc. for the sake of the kids & your husband. You don't have to do that & that says a lot about you! I judged you unfairly last season. You can tell how much you & Joe love & want each other! Can you say CHEMISTRY! I still like Teresa & think, although not right, she is deflecting & unhappy, stressed etc right now b/c of all she is going thru. She does owe you an apology, but not for the cookbook thing. I think she was trying to be funny, but for other behaviors. I think the other ladies are using this dumb cookbook as an excuse. You are a joy to watch!

Melissa, You seem like such a sweetheart. Teresa should stay out of your marriage. She isn't ready to have a relationship with anyone because she needs to work on herself. She seems like she is in denial about a lot of things. Ignorance is bliss; I guess. From what I see as a viewer, you guys have tried all that you can to build a relationship. Stay strong. I love watching you and Joe together. I can tell that you love each other.

I absolutely agree!! Team Manzo/Gorga/Wakile all the way. You all have been real since day one of entering the show. I sympathize for everything Teresa is going through, but it does not excuse poor behavior. For Teresa to say that she told your husband that comment because it was what she was hearing is BS. You can see how much you love her brother and I love watching your marriage!

Did you all get together minus Teresa to write your blogs? Planting a seed, a pattern was forming blah, blah, blah. I love how you all come to write these blogs and sound so innocent and make Teresa out to be the monster. I realize not everyone has Twitter but, there are plenty that do and remember exactly how you all acted on Twitter and remember the tweets. You're not innocent in any of this and you know it!

You and Kathy never should have come on the show KNOWING there would be issues with Teresa. It's sick and disgusting to see what you've done to family. Oh and honey....it's not called singing for you, it's called AUTO TUNE AND LIP SYNCHING!

Melissa, I love you and your family. I see over and over how you try to make a great family with your sister in law and you Husband and Teresa just appears to be so envious of what you have that she cant see the fact that she too could have a great relationship with her brother. Teresa has gotten very strange over the past few episodes seems like everthing has gone to her head and made things very hard on all of her relationships. I love how you try so hard, I love how Joe love you and the kids and I think that really bothers Teresa. Any negativity that you may get is only because the people are as crazy as Teresa has become. I wish you only the best and good luck with your singing career. Keep your chin up you are doing a great job. Be the better person as you are.

Melissa, I have really grown to adore you, especially your relationship w/Joe :) But I do love Tre as well! I wish you would open your eyes and acknowledge the real toxic people in your lives. Jacqueline & Caroline are ruining your family! Think about it - they should have been loyal to Tre. BUT they betrayed her for u. I know it's all fine & dandy for u, but think about their characters. Look @ the way Mrs. Manzo is interfering. She flipped on Kim G last season @ your Xmas party, but she's doing the SAME thing! Caroline is a true hypocrite. She's more interested in rounding up her army & attacking people. First it was Danielle, now its Tre! Open your eyes. Stick w/the fam -- & everyone else just needs to butt out!

Wow, you were not my favorite when you first started the show and I remember you making a comment in a blog about the viewers would know the truth as time goes by. Well kiddo, you were so right!!!!!! You should be proud of yourself for keeping it real and not letting your lying sister-in-law take you down. OMG, she has to have a few screws loose to say the things she does about her own family and actually thinks most viewers believe her lies.

I'm sorry you guys have to deal with such foolishness when life is entirely too short. I look forward to this season but know there is drama coming. I just hope in the end, T wakes up and sees how much damage she has caused her friends and family.

The Love that you share with your husband is so real. The scenes with your family are so sweet and nurturing. The scenes with Teresa and her family are heart breaking the way they speak or yell at each other.

I think that you conduct yourself with much more dignity and grace than I have ever thought that someone from Jersey could. I do not know anybody from New jersey and previously got my opinions of them from other people and/or television shows which were and are mostly unfavorable. I love that you are raising your children to show you respect and pray that Antonio does not say to you one day to "shut up" or to hit her baby brothers and pull their hair or push them off furniture. If that should ever happen, then I know that you will handle it approriately. Do me a favor...and the rest of the viewers? While I really do appreciate you and watch the show mainly for Kathy, Jacqueline, you, and Caroline, could you PLEASE tell your husband to tone it down with the sex remarks. Cuz many of my friends are ready to ask if he's just over-compensating for some length issues.

OK, Ok, Why coming down so hard on Tre'....ALL, every single last one of you housewives sits and talks about and makes unnecessary comments about everyone else. You all stir up trouble.. SO stop casting the first stone and stop pointing fingers at something you do the same thing too. No more tit for tat. Bull. Teresa is going through a lot and she is probably doing the best she can given the circumstances. Her brother, sister-in-law and cousin went behind her back to get on a show to have their 15 minutes of fame without telling her and her husband is not being a very good partner right now, putting up his walls with all the legal stuff. Just give her a break.... she ain't perfect..but man..Hang in there Tre'. Forget em' it is never between you and them anyway, Only you and God. Store your treasures in Heaven honey, not here on earth! I hope all the fame and publicity is worth it to you and all your families. Don’t sell out.. Get over yourselves already!!

Your scary mean, you know those ones that try to act like angels but really are devils. SCARY!

Just a couple of thoughts: First, no one who has ever seen you and your Joe together could doubt for a minute that you're crazy about each other. Trust me, Theresa knows it, too. I believe it was Richie who said that she was in a bad place with all the stuff Joe was involved in, and everyone should have cut her some slack (who would have thought Richie would be the voice of reason?! Liking him better all the time!), but all anyone wanted to do was trash her in last night's episode. I just felt so bad for her, and I wanted to smack Joe (her Joe) for putting her in that situation. As far as the book is concerned - let it go. How could ANYONE have taken what she said as digs? They were jokes - all of which she had said during the show, as well. And all of which were laughed at by others on the show, so of course she was shocked when they all reacted so differently. And none of the comments were even nasty or offensive: you copy her chairs? Richie tells lame jokes? Christopher wanted to open a car wash with strippers? Come on, get real. None of it was new. I certainly hope you and Theresa do mend your fences - you both need to learn to not react when your buttons are pushed. I do give you more credit than Theresa at this point - you certainly want it more - but given the fact that you're deliriously happy in your marriage, and she's... well, she's with Joe... maybe you could just give her that much more consideration.

Melissa if you don't like being called out for copying stop copying! You really do copy Teresa ALL the time! I think that would annoy anyone.

Melissa you bashed Teresa that entire episode so stop lying! You are not trying to work anything out you are trying to bully Teresa off the show and your behavior towards Teresa is abusive. I hope Teresa gets her own she because she is the only reason I watch! I can't stand what the show has become and your behavior and the things you say about your sister in law make me sick!

Melissa don't front like you didn't marry Joe for his money because that is just insulting our intelligence, we are not dumb idiots you can mold like your husband.

This season is going to be fun...is Teresa the only thing all of you are going to talk about?! So over RHONJ! Not fun like it once was. Shame on you Bravo.

Melissa you said terrible, disgusting things about Teresa, all you did was bad mouth Teresa the whole episode so I don't know who you're trying to fool. Your behavior and Joes behavior was sickening and I'm pretty sure Joe Gorga is the worst brother ever. I don't like your constant lying Melissa it really bothers me.

For all that's holy. You are the mother to 3 and wife to Teresa's brother. Youre not going anywhere. You and Joe made a beautiful family together. Whats up with TG? Rise above it, don't give your sister in law what she wants. Ignore her when she says rotten things. Stay in the positive, focus on your beautiful kids, husband family. In the big scheme of life, this is all so minuet. I know how it is. I have not one but TWO Italian sister in laws. Can you imagine that? Having two identical sister in laws, you had to make nice with. Thank God you don't. Thank God you have a husband who has your back. Eventually the kids will start taking sides and it won't be pretty. Just give the old folks what they need in their last years. PEACE.You hold the cards. Don't let her get to you, when you do, she's winning.She's whining and she's winning.Youre younger, hotter, and have more talent. Let all that you have speak for itself.

realllly... you have to be kidding...maybe the italians in jersey are blind but the italians in NY have your number...its funny how youre the victim but everyone likes to forget that yourrrrr big mouth sister started the whole fight the night of christening but you gladly handed the blame to teresa and set her up for the season...sad...now youre the victim..wow..hopefully joe wakes up...lmaooooo....

Melissa you are such a liar. Joe Giudice went to jail for a week and Joe Gorga didn't even call! I am so sick of you telling stories! Melissa you don't care about Teresa, all you do is talk bad about her and start trouble but Teresa is supposed to kiss your butt according to you. You would leave Joe if something better came along, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out. You can lie all you want everyone that watches this show is on to your games.

Melissa, you are the reason I watch. My friends and I can't stand all the bickering and one upmanship that seems to go on with Teresa. You and Joe are gorgeous people inside and out.

Ya'll let the Teresa drama go... She's all that ya'll talk about! Re-watch the episde. You are Fake, Fake, Fake!

I must admit, Your doing a great job by trying your best to forgive Teresa, because honestly I would have given up a long time ago.
