Last week I was in a long flight and these housewives programs were fantastic entertainment on my Ipad. I caught up on the Jersey ones and watched the Miami ones. The mother in the Miami one is one scary bitch. I like the new additions to the Jersey edition. Theresas brother always wanting sex is hysterical. But he did make a ass out of himself in the christening. Kind of took the sexy out a little but when he was crying to his father.

Read Jay Mohr's RHONJ recaps on Bravo if you get a chance. He described Teresa's brother as a cross between Neely O'Hara and Jake LaMotta. Funny stuff.

Why is Jacqueline seeing a psychic? I thought she said she didn't believe in that stuff last season...?

"Why is Jacqueline seeing a psychic?"

Because some producer told her to because they wanted to create an interesting moment for the show. Remember that much of reality television is comprised of set up scenarios. Yes, the producers may not know what the end result will be, but they will do their best to try to set a match to entertainment dynamite.

I don't know if any of you are still watching this. This season has been so boring. I have only halfway been watching it. After this week's installment I may never watch it again.

Joe Guidice once again proved himself to be a homophobe. He referred to Teresa's brother, Joe as a "faggot" in a drunken rant and then followed it up by saying, "No offense to the faggots, but I call him a faggot because that's what I think he is."

I wonder if Andy Cohen will address this on the reunion special. I can already hear Teresa trying to justify it. I remember Teresa swearing up and down that Joe loved gay people the first season after he made offensive comments and called the ballroom dance instructor a "gaylord".

No straight man who uses the word faggot to insult another straight man is a friend of the gays.

I actually feel bad for Ashlee (and yes, that's a double E at the end, according to Jacqueline, she changed her birth name Ashley to Ashlee *gag*).

I can't imagine having someone as vacant as Jacqueline for a mom. Jacqueline is just as immature, moody, and impulsive as her daughter, and I have yet to see her actually sit down, look her in the eye, and have an adult conversation with her.

Chris has absolutely no backbone and the fact that he bought Ashlee that Jeep behind her back shows a lack of respect for his wife. Did you see how miserable everyone looked at Ashlee's b-day dinner? They are one hot mess of a family.

When Ashley begins to act like an adult, then Jacqueline should sit down and try to have an adult conversation with her. But Ashley has proven herself season in and out to be a deeply immature, entitled child. I'm not saying that Chris and Jacqueline haven't facilitated this; however, I have empathy for them because they seem to be dealing with an especially difficult case.

Not for nothing, but when Jacqueline was Ashley's age, she already had a baby and a failed marriage behind her, and was working to support her child. Ashley sits in her parents' mansion, gets cars and cash handed to her, and yet shows her parents some of the most shocking disrespect I've ever seen. If Jacqueline and Chris cut her off tomorrow and she had to survive as her mother did, she'd probably kill herself.

I don't think she should have had a car purchased for her. No amount of trying to justify why will persuade me to think otherwise.

I've been watching this season because I like to balance out Doctor Who but there are many things about this show that bother me.

Teresa, especially, with the case of her brother. It's still unclear why they've had bad blood, although it's been hinted at and brought up it's still somewhat of a puzzle to me. Then, you have Joe. What a terrific guy he is. (Teresa's husband, I mean). I don't know if the fame from being on a reality show has gone to his head or what, but there was no reason for him to behave the way he did to Teresa's brother. Sending someone threatening texts because they want to support their sibling? Yes, that makes so much sense.

The people that I truly feel bad for are the children. They are at an age when they're still pretty innocent and it makes me sad because no child should have to have their family ripped apart by pettiness.

That being said, the only person that I can tolerate this season (besides Caroline) is Kathy. At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like her, but she's proven to be level headed and she also makes a mean dessert platter. How can I say no to that? :)
