but the biggest drama came from Cristy (hate her!) not paying for a gala? Wow.

Larsa... Wow.

Those two boogerwolves were the reason why I hadn't bothered to finish out the season and haven't even looked back since.

Boogerwolves!

Are they still on in Season 2? I'll have to see if I can handle that. Can't stand Cristy's smug grin and, as for Larsa, if your life, kids and husband are so perfect, then why the f.ck are you on this show? What drama do you bring to the table? I don't need a Housewife there solely to start arguments with others based on the premise that she is eternally perfect. Bitch, gtfo. And what was that about Larsa having money troubles? She denied but I didn't believe her.

And that reunion was particularly vile. Not because I haven't seen Housewives arguing in the reunions before but because they all seemed to genuinely hate each other and threw some vitriol, yet the show had none of that.

I don't know because I know I stopped watching at some point during season 1 (and was shocked to see that Andy actually renewed this version because it was lame as hell, IMO). What I do know is that I loathed Crusty and Larva (hearing that their rancid demeanor was just as prevalent off-screen didn't help matters) and couldn't stomach watching them for another minute.

Based on Season 1, I was surprised it was renewed as well. But everyone here says Season 2 was great, so I can't wait to get to that. Crusty and Larva (LOOOOL) are just like that in real life as well? Ugh.

Larsa was the only good thing about Miami season one. Well I guess after Elsa. I hated that she left

Oh and S2 is nothing like the first. S1 wasn't originally envisioned as a RH show hence the uneven mess that it was. Andy took over and revamped it as a proper RH series and it improved immensely as a result

neither of them came back for season 2

Ugh NJ annoyed me. I'm still wondering why Dr. V only made the Guidices apologize and didn't make the Gorgas apologize. Joe ran up on Juicy and Melissa talked sh-t about Teresa's children. Had Tre said she thought Antonia would bully Milania (lol... Milania could take Melissa honestly) all hell wouldve broken loose.

Richie is disgusting talking about Beast's pubic hair and then grabbing her boobs. I don't care if she's a lesbian she is still a woman and that is so inappropriate. I can't believe Rosie didn't punch him and Kathy should have checked that sh-t. Richie is also lame for bringing up the fight when they went ice fishing. So damn messy.

Jacqueline is nasty for insinuating that Joe Gorga and Teresa had sex. Bet she gets away with that comment but Juicy or Tre would be nailed to the wall for something likw that

I appreciate Kathy genuinely apologizing about her comments in Tre's parents and acknowledging she has hurt Tre's feelings (unlike the perpetual victims known as the Gorgas ugh they make me sick)

Re: RHOM

I liked Cristy and Larsa because them heifers kept up drama, and IMO, Cristy was the Sheree to Adriana's Nene--the only b#tch that keeps her on her toes. I kinda wish that Bravo would've brought Cristy back this season seeing as she's been in the headlines from dating Jamie Foxx.

RHOA:

Love goddess Linnethia but she getting too big for her britches. She can't knock people that wanna reach where she is. She's at the top now, meaning she can only go downhill. She better humble herself and fast.

RHONJ:

I hope this is the end of Melissa v. Teresa. I'm sick of both of these hard body broads. After this season, it needs to be a cast overhaul, a lot of them needing to go. Dare I say but they need to keep Teresa (Lord help me. . .) and my precious Kathy. Those other three can GO. Melissa letting the spotlight get to head her and it's making me start to side with Herman Monster, which is a no-no.

Based on Season 1, I was surprised it was renewed as well. But everyone here says Season 2 was great, so I can't wait to get to that. Crusty and Larva (LOOOOL) are just like that in real life as well? Ugh.

This makes me wonder if Andy would've given DC that same second chance if it weren't for the Salahis or if he'd have still allowed it to sink like a stone. Not that I was a fan of that version, either, but I didn't think that it was any lamer than Miami.

Lipstick Alley had THE most amazing tea-spilling thread about RHoNJ this weekend. Like, jaw-dropping. I have no idea if it is all true but, to keep a long story short, the (alleged) reason for the feud is because Joey got in serious debt to keep Melissa in the style to which she has become accustomed, moved them into a spec house built on materials/handiwork that he has yet to pay back because the house was initially built to be "flipped," i.e. the construction people would be paid after the house sold.

Since he didn't sell the house, he still had to pay them and got into debt with loan sharks upon which he bilked his parents' home (without them even knowing). The loan sharks evicted the elders, and that's why Juicy was building a place for them on his property. And that's why Teresa and her parents can't stand Melissa because they think her need to be famous was behind Joey's need to move her into the spec house and get his hands on $$$.

As for the latest episode, I saw NOTHING genuine in Melissa's conduct, least of all the fake drunkeness. She is such a poor actress! As well as being a manipulative little liar.

But I did find Teresa and Caroline's interaction genuine and actually sort of sweet.

Jacqueline's comment about Joey prob having had sex with his sister at 10 was disgusting (even her husband looked taken aback) and I hope she gets read at Reunion for saying that. Eric83, you are so right, if Juicy or Tre had said that about Jacqueline and her brother, or Caroline and Chris Laurita, they would be calls to get their asses thrown in jail.

On a positive note, Jacq looked good in the previews at the sit-down dinner with Teresa, which is surprising as her surgery usually looked fucked up.

Andy would've probably kept the Salahi clan if there was a second season. If anything, Bravo would've kept the same cast but added two HWs, one of them being Stacy's good friend, Erica, who loathed Kat and had her in tears season one.

Oh lawd! Tre and Juicy are about to go to jail...

http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/entertainment/television/Real-Housewives-of-New-Jersey-star-Teresa-Giudice-husband-charged-in-conspiracy.html

There's more drama ahead for two central cast members of popular Bravo reality TV series "Real Housewives of New Jersey."

Feds announced Monday afternoon that Teresa Giudice, 41, and her husband, Giuseppe “Joe” Giudice, 43, were charged with conspiracy to defraud lenders and illegally obtain mortgages and other loans as well as allegedly hiding assets and income during a bankruptcy case, New Jersey's U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman announced in a statement.

The couple, both of Towaco, N.J., were charged with conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud, bank fraud, making false statements on loan applications and bankruptcy fraud in a 39-count indictment returned today by a federal grand jury.

The indictment also charges Joe Giudice with failure to file tax returns for tax years 2004 through 2008, a period during which he allegedly earned nearly $1 million.

“The indictment returned today alleges the Guidices lied to the bankruptcy court, to the IRS and to a number of banks,” Fishman said in the statement. “Everyone has an obligation to tell the truth when dealing with the courts, paying their taxes and applying for loans or mortgages. That’s reality.”

Shantelle P. Kitchen, the Special Agent in Charge of the IRS' criminal division in Newark, added in the statement, “The privilege of living well in the United States carries certain real responsibilities, including filing tax returns when required and paying the correct amount of tax."

According to the Indictment:

From September 2001 through September 2008, Giuseppe and Teresa Giudice allegedly engaged in a mail and wire fraud conspiracy in which they submitted to lenders fraudulent mortgage and other loan applications and supporting documents in order to obtain mortgages and other loans. The Giudices falsely represented on loan applications and supporting documents that they were employed and/or receiving substantial salaries when, in fact, they were either not employed or not receiving such salaries.

For example, in September 2001, Teresa Giudice applied for a mortgage loan of $121,500 for which she submitted a loan application that falsely claimed that she was employed as an executive assistant. She also submitted fake W-2 Forms and fake paystubs purportedly issued by her employer. The indictment also charges specific instances where the Giudices committed bank fraud and loan application fraud in the course of obtaining loans from several banks.

On Oct. 29, 2009, the Giudices filed a petition for individual Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Newark. Over the next few months, they filed several amendments to the bankruptcy petition. As part of the bankruptcy filings, the Giudices were required to disclose to the United States Trustee, among other things, assets, liabilities, income, and any anticipated increase in income. The indictment alleges that the Giudices intentionally concealed businesses they owned, income they received from a rental property, and Teresa Giudice’s true income from the television show “The Real Housewives of New Jersey,” website sales, and personal and magazine appearances. The Giudices concealed their anticipated increase in income from the then-upcoming Season Two of the Bravo television show. The Giudices are charged with multiple counts of bankruptcy fraud for concealing and making false oaths and declarations about the assets and income during their bankruptcy case.

The indictment also alleges that during tax years 2004 through 2008, Giuseppe Giudice received income totaling $996,459, but did not file tax returns for those years.

The conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud count carries a maximum potential penalty of 20 years of in prison and a $250,000 fine. The bank fraud and loan application fraud counts each carry a maximum potential penalty of 30 years in prison and a $1 million fine. The bankruptcy fraud counts each carry a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. The failure to file a tax return counts each carry a maximum penalty of one year in prison and a $100,000 fine.

And with this ^^^^ they just need to NJ after this season.

Wow, every year more and more information comes out about this. If Meliesa were smart she'd get off tv soon cause the sharks are about to pounce. Andy Cohen can only do so much and she's no longer got a producer who'll edit the show in her favor.

Damn, Tre.

See that's why I think that house flipping crap is sketchy because these HWs husbands stay in trouble and that's all they do.

Sorry, Eric, I know they're your peeps, but:

Oh lawd! Tre and Juicy are about to go to jail...

Hehehehehehehehehehehehe

ETA: Cat, I suggest you do a search on LSA to find older NJ tea threads as well...
