'The Real Housewives of New Jersey' Recap: Italy Will Never Be the Same

on August 10, 2010 at 12:41 AM

Real Housewives of NJ This week's episode of the The Real Housewives of New Jersey opened with images of Joe Giudice's car accident that he denied was related to alcohol. Police said otherwise, but the whole incident plus all the Danielle drama left the whole clan so upset that they packed up and headed to Italy.

Joe and Teresa and their four girls plus Jacqueline and her husband, Chris, plus Caroline and Albert and an assortment of grandparents made for a loud and obnoxious troop of 20 trouncing through airports and Italy.

First stop: Venice.

Jacqueline was bummed the gondoliers didn't sing, since they do at the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas and on television.Teresa was on a mission to find Chanel, but after finding it closed for lunch, she instead opted for a doorknob-sized bright green ring.

As they boarded a shuttle to their cruise ship taking them Naples, Teresa started screaming for Joe to spank her. Jacqueline provided a voice of reason when she said, "We looked like a bunch of idiots."

Once aboard the ship, Joe and Teresa needed some alone time in the bedroom so they pawned their kids off on Caroline and Albert, who took the trip solo on purpose so they could have their own alone time. Caroline was annoyed.

Teresa and Jacqueline got wasted and cavorted about the ship. When they started talking Titanic by the ship's edge, I started worrying one of them would fall overboard. No one did ... yet. But there's still next week.

Jacqueline had one too many drinks and was either too seasick or too hungover ... or a combination of the two and couldn't make Milania's fourth birthday party.

Of course, Milania was so exhausted that she fell asleep in the middle of the party so she probably didn't notice. Teresa was "mortified" ... just as some from the United States may be watching Housewives wreak havoc in Italy. Just saying ...

More Italian adventures next week ... wouldn't it be great if Danielle Staub showed up?

Did you watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey this week? Thoughts?

So much to say.....I don't even know where to begin....Teresa is definitely outta control.....with the spending as well as not having a good grip on her girls. They have no discipline and should.

It was too long a trip for the three youngest. I mean being trapped on a cruise ship with nothing really for them to do didn't help things one bit.

All of them are out of control, they should all listen to the song that the countess wrote then sang, money can't buy you class,the only reason Danielle is a problem is becuz they make her one, they even went on a trip to escape the drama they feel she has caused,and still all of them came back with danelle on their minds, they can't get enough of her,the ladies of NEW JERSEY have nothing else better to do except sit around and gossip, drink each others wine, complain all the time they have nothing to do, go out get a job , get a real life why don't ya's,Teresa needs to donate so she can learn a good lessen about give and take,so far she only knows how to take,her ass is as big as her mouth,i could fit both of my feet in her mouth, she needs to get a grip on that bad mouth of hers, in the future her kids will see what an ass she made of herself by the way she acted on national t.v.

TERESA HAS ABSOLUTELY NO CONTROL OF HER SPENDING, CHILDREN AND TEMPER. SHE'S A HOT MESS AND GETTING WORSE. GET HER SOME HELP BEFORE THE NEXT SEASON. IF DANIELLE IS GONE WHO WILL SHE GO APE ON NEXT? POSSIBLY KIM G. OR HER OWN RELATIVES. WE SHALL SEE.

I am not, most assuredly, one of those people who massage individuals egos...based on that fact I most humbly speak my peace to Caroline from R.H.N.J. above all the housewives "shows" you, in my opinion, have been the one whose been the stalwart and down to earth, only looking out for those in whom you care about, family or friend. You see through all the facades of those around you due to insecurities and youth etc.(just guessing based on my past experience).. and believe me that only comes from lifes experience...I'm 44, maried with an 18 yr old daughter. Which, of course, means they know it all ;). Anyway, I most assuredly commend you for being nothing but who you are...a strong women with weaknesses as any human and salute you for never compromising your integrity..Wish you well in all your future endeavors..and to your hubby, like you said, you're a workhorse(to protect your family) but in the end remember the day you married your soul mate, in the end she will be with you until the end...my guess is, at heart she just needs her soul mate to enjoy the fruits of her labor...so, throw caution to the wind and take her back to Italy with new plans in mind.. just go back to when you were lovestruck with each other and have some whimsical fun and endearing fun ;) blessings to all.
