Teresa Giudice breaks down the final island episode and defends the use of the word "ho-bag."
May 28, 2010
I wasn’t sure this week’s episode could top last week’s record-breaking, vampire-and-gummy bear, crazy-face-meltdown one … and unfortunately, it didn’t. I was totally disturbed by last week’s episode — it was way too much crazy, and as I said last week, I know crazy. But to go from that to this week’s calm, sweet, episode was kind of extreme. It felt like watching one of the earlier episodes … all talk, talk, talk, gossip, gossip, gossip. I know the ladies deserved some relaxation, but I didn’t need to watch the pedicures. It almost put me to sleep (from nightmares last week to falling asleep this week … what a ride!).
Jill’s arrival on the island was pretty awkward. I don’t think she had a chance to figure anything out. She felt the tension, sort of smelled it in the air, like an animal smells a predator, and she ran. Did you see Alex’s face? She looked like she was going to explode. And the shaking? Scary! I was afraid poor Alex was going to have a nervous breakdown. Reality TV is hard. You put yourself out there and you have no control over which parts they show (and don’t show). And you are shooting sometimes 15 hour-days for months and months. It’s exhausting – physically and mentally. I feel for all of them: pregnant and stressed Bethenny, trembling and shell-shocked Alex, trying-to-please-everyone Ramona, overwhelmed-and-unaware Kelly, and elephant-in-the-room Jill. Oh, and can’t-sing-to-save-her-life LuAnn. Only Sonja came out without any battle wounds, but she’s new. Let’s check back with her next season….
Speaking of new girls, what about Jennifer Gilbert? I met her at The Real Houswives of NJ premiere party at the Brownstone and she’s really lovely (and if you’ve never met Alex in person, she was there too and she is supermodel pretty. I know it sounds like an insult, and I hear the same thing all the time too: “You’re so much prettier in person!” but for Alex, it’s true. Maybe the TV lighting makes her look too angular or something, but in person, she glows.) Anyway, I know Jennifer is a mom of young kids like me and Jacqueline, and I’d love to see more of her story. Her son was a cutie, but I didn’t even catch his name.
I did catch quite a bit of potty mouth and body parts talking though. Ha! See, we aren’t the only ones out in Jersey talking about sex and our chuckies. Even the classy Manhattan girls talk about penis size, handcuffs, big ears??? And for the record, LuAnn, I say “hobag." It’s a great word, especially when you know someone who is. What do you recommend we say instead?: “Someone who indiscreetly engages in sexual transgressions with the entire Metro area”?
I thought Bobby was very sweet and loyal, as always. He’s a great guy. The toilet paper bridal dresses on Ramona and Bethenny was very cute. Nice to see some actual friendship. Ramona said “love love love love”! (she added an extra one) and was so super sweet to everyone. (You know it’s a calm episode when Ramona is nothing but nice to everyone.) The only things I didn’t want to see was Sonja’s dress falling off and the the thought of her giving the Heimlich to a poodle….

How can you people post comments talking crap about Teresa 'being mean' when your rude comments are no better.
That's the show, that's why we watch. So get over it people!

You are your family are awesome! I just love watching all of you and how you interact with your girls, ( I also have all girls), you can tell how much you love your darling hubby. Your a strong italian family and I admire that. I just hope you all stay away from that crazy lady Danielle, she is nuts. CONGRATS on the new baby.
Theresa you crack me up girl! You are hilarious and loved it when you called Danielle a "ho bag". I think you brought that phrase back into circulation. Best of luck on life, love, marriage, children, and friendships (esp. your best friend Danielle)HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA yeah as if! Love ya girl, don't ever change! Jill P.S.

OMG Teresa why are u even on this show!!!
Love you Teresa! Thank you for being understanding to all the Housewives. I really feel for all of you guys except for a certain someone on your show (I think you know who I am talking about!) I do not think I have the balls (as Bethenny would say) to do a reality show with all women! You are all brave women to put yourselves out there like that. I admire each and everyone of you in all different ways. Thank you for sharing your lives with us!
Hi Theresa,
I love love love you! You are a great mom and that's what I love most about you not to mention that I also love your table flipping moment. You are great and your family is beautiful! Congrats on the new baby! xoxoxoxox
I have to tell you Teresa, your hairline is bazaar! I thought I had a low hairline, if ever there was a need to wear bangs this is it! This is not meant to be mean but it's hard to watch!
Teresa I love you girl you and your family are great. I love your style and I haven't gotten your book yet but soon will. I wish you and your family nothing but love, blessing and success.
P.S.
I loved when you made Dina your god mom I cried. I'm pretty sure it's nothing better than being a mom, but being a god mom is a blessing and I love that.
Love Teresa... she cracks me up everytime.especially when chris was mocking her. " I'm leaving my house now , am I late ? " "sorrryyy".
Love to see more of you girls ...Teresa and the Manzo women. Someone please get rid of bleeping danielle off the show.
love ya Teresa
My sister lives in NY and I'm in CT we don't get to see each other alot but when the NJ housewifes are on we call each other and watch while we chat on the phone. We love your style and your girls are so cute. Stay fab
Teresa,
I love love love your new book! I am so excited now to know that pasta is not as bad for you as we all thought...Durum and Semolina....yay! I have made two of your recipes and love them so much. I cannot wait to make more. I hope your book climbs to the very top of the NYT Bestsellers list!!! Thank you for sharing all of your old world Italian wisdom!
Love you!!!
Teresa... your blog was hilarious...I laughed from beginning to end...you weren't mean or catty...it was witty and humorous, most of all it was observant. Love your blogs...
LUV YA, LUV YA, LUV YA.
Just remain down-to-earth. Congrats on your baby. Always remember where you came from and never stray from your values. NEVER find yourself in the position that Jill and Kelly from HW of NY found themselves this season.
PS: I loved the table scene. That is the kinda drama I LOVE. Good luck with everything. :0)
T...you are a gem....don't listen to these adverse comments about how you should mind your business..danielle..u say it like it is...that's what gives us our rights in this country to say what we mean...hobag..prostitution whore...pleassse...i think most of these people have said worse...they need to get over it..
i think your great..your cooking book is fantastic and your just a wholesome person...who cares about the negativity u read..its what makes you and your family happy....i just adore you and your beautiful family...
and as for danielle...she needs a good ass whipping...or slapping...lol...xoxo
Teresa -- I love and appreciate your honesty, your humor and your common sense. There's nothing wrong with "calling it like it is".
Congratulations on the beautiful addition to your lovely family!
Teresa, you have said some terrible things about Bethenny in the press recently. She has not responded to your hear say and unsubstantiated gossip. I have to tell you that your coming off as bitter and vindictive. Maybe you should take a page from her book and keep your mouth shut.
Teresa you are freaking awsome! Stay truthful & honest. If you get half the chance slap hell out of the Hobag Danielle. I cannot beleive she would bring other trash to intimidate at a Cancer fund raiser, Bravo needs to get rid of her stupid ass before something really crazy does happen.
"T" you are a trip!! Love to read your blogs on your take of the other housewives. Many more blessings to you and your family! love Audriana's pink flower cap! Can't wait to see you all tonight! (PS..when is Joe leaving for is africa safari diamond hunt?" LOL
Happy Wife! Happy Life! Simply, love! love ! loooove THAT!
TO NCVIEWER: Aww get over it!! LOL really, is that all you can say?
TO TERESA: I love what you had to say, and your right. I didn't think you were being anything but truthful.. as for Kelly, don't you think both her and Danielle are off the hook with their sense of reality? They need to wake up and start watching these episodes because obviously they are not, or they would have made some changes or better yet retired from the shows because they are being laughed at! NOT laughed with..
Looking forward the rst of the season of NJ Housewives!!
Teresa, you are one of the most wholesome, honest women who doesn't beat around the bush. I'm glad to watch when you tell-it-like-it-is. Some people can't stand that. I would rather you tell the truth about things and keep your good sense of humor about what transpires in your life.
I REALLY think that you should stop with your catty comments about housewives on the other shows and stick to your own BUSINESS.
Teresa,
I don't know why, but you and the entire NJ cast bore me to tears. If it wasn't for Danielle, you all would have nothing to talk about. I do think you are a dedicated mother and I admire you for that, but please... get over the whole Danielle thing. It's annoying and a turn off
Theresa say it isn't soooooooooo! The article in the NY Post today says that you and Joe are sooooooooo living above your means and are in debt up to your eyeballs! If that is TRUE - then you really shouldn't be spending $$ on limos for birthday parties and ATV's for one as young as Gia. Turns out that you could be just like the rest of us -- that would surely burst my bubble.
Love your tell it like it is attitude and your animated, unapologetic observations!
Teresa I do not love, love, love your mouth! There is no reason for you to slam Bethenny, you're begining to remind me a little bit of Danielle! I hope your mouth doesn't lose you fans, or fans for your show!! You used to be one of my favorites but no more!
Teresa we love love love you in my house.
you got enought problems stay out of the girls of ny business
Teresa-- you should spend your energy on your family, get over your obsession with Danielle (which has been fueled by Caroline any time you get together) and let the "Danielle drama" go. Your daughters will probably see parts of this show someday, do you really want them to hear you call someone a "hobag" or a "prostitution whore"?
Just gotta say that you are so super cute! My teenage girls adore you too. Love that you have such great Family values. We are the women of the family. We are the ones that will always hold it together. Our Suday dinners, and holiday meals. I just hope that are girls will do the same! We are women hear us ROAR! LOLOL!
Please who cares what you think? I did not even know you knew how. Stay in new jersey with your crazies.
