Stuck in Reality

'Real Housewives' Stars Melissa Gorga & Teresa Giudice's Truce Takes a Nasty Turn

Just as sure as water is wet, the women of The Real Housewives of New Jersey are at war again. Sunday night's episode almost fooled fans into thinking that Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga had finally formed a truce. Well, we've learned that lasted all of five minutes.

The Gorgas and the Giudices were all cozied up in a camper during a road trip to Napa Valley -- the women comparing breast implants and the guys cracking wise and making dirty jokes. For a minute, I actually thought that maybe the petty squabbles are coming to an end. Not in this lifetime. Melissa recently dished about what is really going on between her and her sister-in-law

During the show, Melissa claimed they had a "relationship breakthrough" after she suggested Teresa re-evaluate how she treats family members. “In the episode, we’re really trying,” Gorga told Celebuzz. “If you look me in the eyes and say, ‘Let’s be a family,’ that is all it takes. I’m easy if you apologize and mean it.”

Well, before the episode even aired, the family rift was back on. “Our relationship gets bumpy again, but I never throw the first punch,” Gorga said. “I’m not going to lie and sugarcoat it -- it’s not perfect ... We try. It’s family. I wish it were better.”

Geez. These women will never move past their silly spats, will they? Not that I really want them to. Isn't that what makes this guilty pleasure so worth the hour it sucks from your life each week. Besides, this catty, spiteful, self-absorbed bunch make the rest of us look like the most sane, well adjusted people on earth.

Do you think Teresa and Melissa will ever get along? Who do you think is more at fault?

    We can't really say who is at fault because we don't know how or why this recent feud started. As of now based on the show everyone is at least trying to be civil. When the new fight airs then I think that will be a fair question to ask. As for the first question, you don't pick your sister in law. Teresa and Melissa's relationship may be hot and cold for years.

    Of course they will never get along.  No sane person that is not willing to to sacrifice reality, bend to Theresa's crazy ass ways and treat her like a queen can even hope to get along with her.  Theresa has mental issues, personality issues, behavioural issues, if something doesn't change at some point in the future it will end badly for her unless at some point she gets the care she needs.  But as long as she keeps getting paid more and more money each time she does something more and more outrageously wrong, how can anyone expect her to realize that she has problems.  Remember Dennis Rodman?  Know where he is now?.......broke and trying to avoid rehab, continueing to deny the mental illness diagnoses.......it's eerily similar...

    Until Teresa has something horrible happen (because I really think that's what it will take for her) to snap her into reality no one is gonna get along with her.

    Of course they're still fighting. It's good for ratings. These ladies are not stupid. They know on which side their bread is buttered and as long as it makes for good TV and they can both cash in, the petty squabbles and nonsense will continue.

    Teresa can't accept her jealousy of Melissa and she blames the relationship issues on everyone else. If she would accept her feelings of anger toward Melissa and Joe and their successful marriage and also try to fix her home situation with a separation or divorce, she would begin to heal.

    Luv melissa! she's really got a head on her shoulders! as far a teresa goes, she's an arrogant b..tch and should take a class on how 2 speak english. Y can't she take blame for anything? I guess that's y bravo keeps her on for ratings. She & her husband r really arrogant. And those kids... they do not dress like normal kids, what, with the hairso and dresses, c'mon, really. And the manners of those girls are disrespecitfull. But, look who they have for parents..... just saying, their kids should show respect and Teresa & hubby need to grow up. Everything is a joke to them! Guess, u have to do that on this show to get ratings. just saying......
