Have you been watching the latest season of the Real Housewives of NJ? This season started in the nick of time for me because I was about to really be over watching the drama that Kelly Bensimon and her bipolar escapades with Bethenney while resident mean girl, Jill Zarin, subtly puts everyone down with her constant slights and digs at them. Yes, that sums up the Real Housewives of New York’s last season. As Jayz says, “On To The Next One.”
That brings me back to this new season of Real Housewives of NJ. Of course the season starts off with Crazy Danielle (and yes, that is her official nickname here on FWO) and her desperation to be part of the Manzo click along with her annoying self-inflicting paranoia that the entire family, and quite possibly, the township of Franklin Lakes, is out to get her. I can go on about her antics so far this season but what ABSOLUTELY put me over the edge? THE POLE SCENE! WTF!! Crazy Danielle seriously needs GOD in her life. Wait, hmmm, doesn’t she, hmmm, I think she went to see her Priest in an episode and accused the Manzo’s of never going to church. POW..DEAD.. Fast forward to this week’s episode. Crazy girl doesn’t feel “sexy” so what does she do, she takes Kim G.(who I’ve affectionately named Betty White) and her other “so called” friends to a bar to work the pole. Not only is it gross and makes poor Betty White look crazy but she has the pathetic bar backs a.k.a. Hell’s angels trashy losers as her audience as she does what she does best on the show, spreads her legs! What happened to the poor divorcee who can’t afford the upkeep on her million dollar home and the mother of 2 little girls? Well, that went out the window, or should I say, fell off the pole. Crazy Danielle, I suggest you go back to stripping or being an escort. That way you can hire a nanny who can be a better role model for your children, hire an interior decorator to fix your tacky house and maybe date men who don’t look like they use deoderant!!
Now that is out of my system, it brings me to Jacqueline, who is actually one of my favorites. Jacqueline has been at odds with her smart mouth daughter, Ashley, since last season. However, this season starts with her daughter moving out into a”friends” apartment. Now, we all know better than that and KNOW the girl is living with her 23 year old boyfriend. COME ON! Is this the “reveal” Bravo is going to hold back on for a later episode? We aren’t idiots.
Ashley, who is 18 years old and can very well do what she likes (that never works at this age) but she is practicing pre-marital sex, not in college, and I am not sure she is even working. But one thing is for sure, Ashley is working her mother’s nerve to the core. Jacqueline throws her out the house during the guys poker game when Ashley gets disrespectful. The problem I have here is that it’s to late for these antics. When Ashley acted out the thousand times before, her mother should have had a similar reaction. Now you basically have an adult who you can’t control anymore being disrepectful yet expecting you to pay their bills. NOT. It’s sad to see a mother -daughter relationship spoiled like this but it is a great example of what happens when you don’t discipline your children.
That brings me to the last thought I have on this week’s episode and that is the depature of Dina Manzo. I say, GOOD RIDDINS!! The Cat Lady really didn’t bring much to the show and as you can see this past season and surely this season, her daughter nor husband want any part of it. It makes her kind of zzzzzzzzzzz…hmmm..entering stage left….Kim G. a.k.a. Betty White.
