Why oh why did Bravo TV bring the most dysfunctional Real Housewives franchise back to our screens so early, bumping the Real Housewives of New York City back to June 4? The simple answer: ratings. May is an advertiser sweeps month. The more complex answer: let’s get this crapfest out of the way so we can dump this bunch of losers.
WILL TERESA GIUDICE BE THE SOLE SEASON 5 SURVIVOR?
In Life and Style Magazine this week, they talk about what’s going on with the new season. The article is short on fact and long on fiction, I’ll attempt to insert a little truth here.
Life and Style:
Since the tense season-three reunion show in September, only sister-in-law Melissa Gorga, has seen Teresa - just once at her niece's birthday in January. Fame is to blame, Caroline Manzo, the matriarch of the cast, tells Life & Style. "Fame is like a drug," she tells Life & Style about Teresa, who went from being a stay-at-home mom to a New York Times best-selling author. "If you don't have your feet planted solidly on the ground, it can really take you for a trip."
Fact: Caroline Manzo is so jealous of Teresa Giudice she can’t see straight. No matter how she tries to disguise it as common sense and motherly advice, the core of Caroline says she and her loser children were supposed to reap the benefits from the franchise, not Teresa. The icing on the cake?
CAROLINE MANZO WAS NEVER CONSIDERED FOR CELEBRITY APPRENTICE
Life and Style:
Relationships were so strained between former best friends Teresa and Jacqueline Laurita, that Jacqueline skipped the reunion show. Speaking out for the first time since then, Jacqueline tells Life & Style exclusively that Teresa changed once she viewed Jacqueline as a threat. "Teresa has an unhealthy need to be the best,"
FACT: Jacqueline Laurita as a threat? That’s a good one. Jacqueline has the emotional maturity of your average 5 year old, her hands are full just kissing Caroline’s ass and competing with her 21 year old daughter, Ashley Holmes. By the way, don’t try going to TheLookStore, Jacqueline’s venture, your anti-virus security will warn you. When was the need to be the best unhealthy? Teresa has to work, she is in severe financial distress, and they all thought that was wonderful when the target was Danielle Staub.
Life and Style:
As for Teresa's own flesh and blood, cousin Kathy Wakile tries her best to keep the peace and tells Life & Style that she's treated Teresa with "kid gloves" to avoid setting her off. But Melissa found herself under attack after Teresa told her brother (Melissa's husband, Joe) that Melissa would leave him for a richer man. "It hurt so bad," Melissa tells Life & Style. "There's just no reason to ever say something like that."
FACT: Kathy Wakile is a ‘stealth-bomber’ and Melissa Gorga did everything she could to discredit Teresa and get on the show, including contacting Danielle Staub and telling her ALL of Teresa’s business. (Danielle, at the Season 2 reunion, didn’t pull the stuff about the birth of the nephew out of the air)
Life and Style:
But Teresa says her former friends Caroline and Jacqueline are the ones who wronged her by teaming up with her relatives, Kathy and Melissa, despite their issues. "In a perfect world, I'd be closer with my family," Teresa tells Life & Style. "Or, at the very least, my friends would help me repair those relationships rather than attempt to cause additional problems between us."
Fact: Teresa, with her three cookbooks, her cocktail, her personal appearances, and most of all, her stint on Celebrity Apprentice, where, unlike Nene Leakes, she won for her charity, NephCure, and is hanging in there, now in the final seven contestants, is rolling on. Teresa Giudice owns Sunday nights.
By the way, Teresa, Caroline Manzo was never your friend. Caroline Manzo has a street gang mentality, no friends, only followers. Ask her sister, Dina Manzo.
The crapfest known as the Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 4 will premiere Sunday, April 22, 2012. on Bravo TV
