Let me add that the entire riff bw Caro and Dina could be concerning the husbands and nothing to do with Tre as Bravo would have us think. I think that's much more believable.

Just saw that about Dina on Twitter. Not a surprise. But like ccc said - she's a famewhore and she can't keep saying she's above this and taking the high road because she always responds on twitter. So she's really no better than the rest of them. Actually, Teresa rarely responds to shit, so she's almost better than Dina in that aspect. Dina is passive aggressive about it.

Hey, I forgot to mention I read buried in some comments that there was a falling out with Gay Greg and the Manzos. They are (allegedly) no longer following each other on twitter and Greg moved to L.A.

Dina tweeted that she is separated from her husband. http://www.allabouttrh.com/dina-manzo-announces-separation-from-husband-tommy-manzo/. In the comments someone said she had to go public because Jax said in an article that "Dina is going through something."

There were always rumors that Tommy was gay. Those NJ folks have a lot of skeletons in their closet.
I just read that article. Why am I not surprised Dina is friends with those Gastineau fools? Does anyone remember their horrendous reality show from back in the day? It must have been 2004 or so? maybe earlier maybe a bit later?

Anyway - I never liked Dina much. I think her peace schtick is just an act. She is a wretched famewhore, just like the rest of them. People just liked her more because she is very pretty and her annoying voice is strangely nice to listen to.

But it's not Bravo that wants us to think that. Clownie has come out outright and said that Teresa is the reason Dina wasn't talking to her, despite Dina saying the opposite.

Velvet - I assume "falling out" means a very horrible breakup?

I remember that but the comment was made in connection with Bravo. I think there is a lot more to it.

Anyway - I hope Tommy has a big prenup - or did the prenup end at 7 years and now she's divorcing because she can. God I hate these people. Velvet thanks for reminding me they are all just a bunch of famewhore criminals. Blech. I watch in awe. Seriously these people cannot be real.

Oleander, wait, are you asking about the actual definition of the words or hoping that the falling out was big and ugly? LOL. Either way - yes, they are allegedly, according to a comment or three, no longer speaking.

That whole "owe more than it's worth" thing isn't THAT uncommon, especially among contractors.

I also know someone it happened to, right in the middle of boom and crash.

They bought the land, about 5 acres in a ritzy Gold Rush area resort place, horse property, on the river for about 70 thousand bucks. They had to bring in electricity, dig a well for water, and they stayed on site for the 8 months it took to build a beautiful log home, doing some of the work themselves and staying on top of all the various sub contractors so they weren't ripped off with time or bad work. That ended up costing only about 80 thousand. Built the barn and corral themselves too. They had a loan from a friend/partner and the idea was to sell the house at significant profit when it was all done.

When it WAS done, they went to the back to "re-finance" and the bank immediately sent out appraisers, gave them a value of $750 thousand, offered to finance $650 thousand of that. Now, if they had just sold the place, they both would have made pretty good money on that deal, and they had two parties competing to buy it as well, upping one anothers' bids, which started at the $700 thousand mark. Unfortunately, they had fallen in love with the house, and decided to keep it. The thought was that they could always sell it, probably for more money, since things just kept going up.

They took out the loan to pay back their partner, and (foolishly) to buy a new horse trailer, new truck, and pay off a few other small loans, stuff like that.

5 years later the bubble burst, lots more happened, but eventually they HAD to sell it, and only got about $300 thousand--but the loan on it was for much more. I think a lot of people got caught up in that whole thing. Especially contractors who were doing their own work, like the NJ boys, since it was even cheaper for them to build.

I think Asslee and Jax are still lovin' Greggy on twitter. So must have been a lover's quarrel with Dumb and Dumber.

Do you think Greggy is trying to hit it big in LA? Maybe he can go waiter at SUR because he is crazy attractive like the rest of them.

Dina has been on so many reality shows. There seems to be a lot of talk about Tommy being gay and Tommy being a lover boy with women. I wonder what the real truth is. Seemed like an arranged marriage. Got Dina out of Al's house and gave Tommy a cover of some sorts.

heheheh. I wonder if he's really gay. I still think that Big Fat Wedding on VH1 or whatever the show is called is the true Dina - materialistic to the core. Your zen act isn't fooling me, Dina!

One thing I have to give the Juicys credit for is the fact that they do live the italian lifestyle they portray on the show.

I love that their garage is their sauce and sausage factory.
Yeah, I'd like to see more of that Juicy. Notice the big old style punching bag in the baground. They not only make sauce in the driveway and sausage in the garage, it's the gym too!

I've always thought Dina was a famewhore but then I saw her wedding show before RHONJ. I could tell it was a mixed marriage: famewhore/low profile guy and maybe straight/gay too. Either way, the only reason I think more highly of Dina than the rest is she appears to still be friends with Tre so there is some sort of loyalty there and because I always think more highly of any ho-wife who takes herself off the show - even if it was just to go in search of another show.

There are other photos of the sausage fest, and Joe's brother was there too and the kids were helping. I wonder if they were filming for the show.

I didn't notice the bag and the weights until you mentioned them. So funny that they have this huge house and the gym is in the garage. I wonder if their basement gets wet. The outside layout of their property makes me think that they might.
