REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NJ PHOTCAP: Catching The Christmas Spirit

Christmas is drawing close on The Real Housewives of New Jersey, and that can only mean one thing: time for fights! Luckily, we had Kathy and Teresa around to do the heavy lifting, and when that dustup proved to be a bit too tame, Joe Giudice had a tiff with Melissa’s brother-in-law Joe (no relation …

REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NJ PHOTOCAP: A Very Guido Christmas

It may be the height of summer here in the Northern Hemisphere, but it’s the Holiday Season on Real Housewives of New Jersey. With Christmas just around the corner, this latest episode focused on all the angst and anxiety that can sometimes derails people’s yuletide spirit.

REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NJ PHOTOCAP: The Catskills Adventure America Has Been Waiting For!

Sunday’s supersized episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey gave us what we’ve always wanted: an hour of frolicking in the Catskills. Yes, upstate New York finally got the close-up it deserved, and it was oh so… rustic? Perhaps woodsy? Certainly not glamourous. For those of you unfamiliar with the Catskills, the mountain region …

REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NJ PHOTOCAP: Teresa Talks with Gorgas, No Brawls Ensue

After several weeks of build-up, Teresa Giudice finally came face to face with her estranged brother Joe on this week’s episode of Real Housewives of New Jersey, and the results were… well… not explosive, but… emotional? It was actually a rather intense discussion, with both sides airing out grievances. They went tit for tat, with …

REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NJ PHOTOCAP: Melissa Sings, Gia Tumbles

There was a definitely lack of drama on this week’s Real Housewives of New Jersey episode, but I still found the show immensely watchable, thanks to the tension brimming in the Gorga family. Unlike previous installments of this season, this week was less “crazy/funny” and more “sad/depressing.” It was all about family, and we got …

REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NJ PHOTOCAP: A Time For Thanks (Except for Sprinkle Cookies)

It may be summer now, but we headed back to Thanksgiving on The Real Housewives of New Jersey last night. The Gorgas and the Giudices each made separate feasts with the former being for family and the latter for friends. There wasn’t much drama in the episode, but this latest installment proved to be highly …

REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NJ PHOTOCAP: Teresa Writes Letter, Says ‘Ingredientses’

Oh the saga continues! The triumphant third season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey is still wonderfully mired in the rift between Teresa Giudice and her brother Joe Gorga, and I couldn’t be happier! I mean, I don’t like seeing grown siblings hate each other from the depths of their souls, but the dynamic …

REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NJ PHOTOCAP: Ghoulish Faces and Scary Fashions – It’s Halloween in NJ!

I’m simply loving the revamped Real Housewives of New Jersey. Even though the second episode of the third season couldn’t match the craziness of last week, I still found myself thoroughly enjoying the generally banal activities on screen, culminating in a catty confrontation between Teresa and Kathy. Plus, even better — we had the return …

REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NJ PHOTOCAP: Beyond Epic. Beyond.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey is back and better than it has ever been. At last Bravo has gotten it right. Gone is Danielle Staub and the Manzo-centric focus. The show is no longer about recreating the Sopranos. It’s about highlighting the tacky Jersey trash we’ve come to know and love through recent pop …

REAL HOUSEWIVES REUNION PHOTOCAP (As Told By Random Knickknacks)

Bravo aired the second part of its epic Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion special last night, and it continued to be as explosive and ludicrous as the first half. However, the one difference was that while last week’s craziness often felt like “systematic bullying,” as Kelly Bensimon might say, this portion was all classic …
