With that said..
We start out the episode with a recap of what has happened this season. Let's sum it up in a nice package with a hot pink bow tied on the top shall we? New housewives Melissa and Kathy arrive on scene after Danielle was fired/quit/whothehellknowstherealstory to spice things up in NJ and a big ol' fight breaks out at a BABY'S Christening after Teresa says "Hi" to her brother Joey, who calls her "garbage" (on national television.. and the winner of best brother of the year award goes to Joey Gorga *eyeroll*) blah, blah, blah snide remarks, Teresa blowing up over her cousin Kathy for no apparent reason, a trip to Punta Cana and showdown between Jacqueline and her daughter Ashley (or Ashlee as she's called now) and we arrive to the season finale. Oh, I almost forgot, Caroline's sons and brother/family steal a product from Canadians start endorsing this new water called "BLK water", Melissa starts a new singing career like every other housewife in this franchise tries to and we learn all about Joey Gorga's unquenchable sex drive. So after the recap of the season, we find Teresa going on with her cheerful self preparing her demon children for a family photo. You hear Melissa talk about how this is the first time they're taking a "family" photo together. First of all, I don't think that it's common to take a family photo with your whole immediate family (siblings with their children and grandparents) once you get married and start your own family. Maybe it's because I come from a huge family (my mom is the youngest of 25 for example), but what I personally have found to happen is each family takes a professional picture and sends them out with the Christmas cards. So Melissa's complaint just doesn't really make sense to me, nor do I fault Teresa for not inviting them over for pictures.In between of this and little snippets of the "digs" in Teresa's book being read, Victoria gets ready for her prom. She looked stunning and the conversation between her dad and date are priceless! I'm sure every girl can relate, daddy just doesn't like his little girl dating! Unfortunately, this cute scene is almost forgotten as you start learning more and more about what exactly Teresa has written in THE BOOK (take two!). I don't know if it was just me or my imagination, but didn't the whole unveiling of Teresa's Book seem extremely scripted? Just from watching the episode, it seemed like these people thought she wrote the book that week! Come on, give the girl some credit (MELISSA!), sure things have gotten smoothed out, but they weren't at the time Teresa wrote the book! In fairness, I can see Caroline's point, from what was read out loud(I haven't read nor bought ANY of Teresa's cookbooks nor do I plan to. Honestly, I would never buy anything these housewives make or endorse, I waste my money on people who become famous without going on a trashy reality TV show. I'm not going to let them profit off me just because they became famous for doing absolutely nothing of merit... even if it's for my amusement!), Teresa was digging into Caroline! I can understand the joke about being 1/16th Italian and the Rachel Ray repeated joke, but to go on and make a dig about a person's child is low. Now, It could be that she didn't intend to insult Chris Manzo or that we only heard a small portion of what was written, but I can understand Caroline's anger. My parents are a lot like her, mess with them and they can take it, joke around, etc... but mess with one of the kids (I have three brothers) and it's ON!! I cannot wait for the reunion, from watching the previews on Watch What Happens Live!, it looks juicy! I can't help but feel a tiny bit bad for Teresa, I hated when the ladies ganged up on Danielle and it looks like she's getting the Danielle Staub treatment! BUT! This is a big BUT! My sympathy vanishes when I remind myself that these ladies made the CONSCIENCE decision to put their lives on display (no pun intended.. which reminds me! Oh.. let me finish this first thought!) so anything that comes from it is ENTIRELY their own fault! Maybe they didn't think the price of fame was going to be this high, but it wasn't promised to be all rainbows and butterflies.. and anything that FORCES you to interact with certain people or attend certain events is NOT reality! In the real world, we have free-will, our choices are our own to make. Now for my other though.. OK, On Display.. while it is a catchy song, it's not deserving of being produced.. THERE I said it! First of all, using auto tune will make any mediocre singer sound fantastic. Second, did anyone else catch the subtitle where it says "Melissa's songwriter" as some random guy makes an appearance? What ACTUAL talent does she have besides catching a rich husband and *snicker* "releasing his poison"?? Someone who has talent does not need auto tune NOR do they need someone else to write their songs! Sad... just sad.. I say we support someone with REAL talent instead of these TV fame whores!! Well that's my piece, hope you enjoyed! If not.. eh screw you too *wink*
