And Cow with all of her "a friend" told me shit. Name names Jax or shut up.
I posted this to Cow's blog over at Bravo (the resurrection of Pajamas!) I took out producers as the friends in hopes it will get posted.
This is funny - on both Cow and Teresa's twitter pages, Mitt Romney comes up as a similar page! Lol. Has to be some internet prankster at work there. Edited by Finestra, Sep 24 2012, 08:51 AM.

So far, most of the comments on Jax's blog are positive and the few that are negative are getting responses like "Did you watch the same show I did?" Uh, yeah, I did and it's pretty obvious to me that Tree was the one getting 'set up.' Jax's blog is a rambling screed about why didn't Teresa do this or why didn't Teresa say that. Why, Jax? Because if she called Melissa ahead of time or tried to warn her what had happened she would have immediately been accused of being involved - otherwise how would she have known, amirite?! Which is EXACTLY what the people setting all this in motion wanted. There was no move that Teresa could make that would leave her out of the shit storm. |

The famewhorgas site has an interview with a producer on some of the shows. Fascinating shit. Fame-Whorgas received from a source the following partial interview with a former post production supervisor for RHONJ: Q: “So can you tell me about your role on the RHONJ without giving away who you are”? A: “It’s fine, my contract has finished. I worked on season 3 and 4 of RHONJ as a post production supervisor for 15 episodes.” Q: “Can you explain why you no longer work with the RHONJ? Does it have anything to do with the rumors that the production team was fired due to a conflict of interest?” A: “Not true at all, I can’t speak for everyone, um, there are quiet a few of the same team returning for season 5, but I was offered a role on another show and decided to leave for my career; no one was fired for a conflict of interest though.” Q: “So how ‘real’ is the show? We discussed before (in a private conversation) about the various blog rumours; can you clear anything up?” A: “Well, if you give me specifics, I can try.” Q: “I’m curious about the Caroline/Teresa feud. Was she really that angry that Teresa wrote those comments in her cookbook?” A: (laughing) “Oh come on, at the start of the season the production team sits down and gives a general overview of where we want the storyline for the show to go. ALL of the wives are in on this. We discuss popular storylines from the season before, story lines that need tying up, and also ways of threading in new storylines that look organic to the story. Do you really think we spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on just following these woman around with no plan? No, the season and the storyline has a basic outline from the first day.” Q: “So your saying there is no feud?” A: “I’m saying the feud you are being fed is for television only and there are bigger issues there.” Q: “Then why are we not being told what the bigger drama is? Wouldn’t it be better to show that than manufacturing the drama?” A: “It’s up to the wives what they choose to put out into the public forum; nothing is forced on them.” Q: “What about Jacqueline and Teresa?” A: “We knew at the end of season 3 that their friendship was ending; the main reason, I was told, for the feud was because Jacqueline was offered several endorsement deals (including a teeth whitener and a real fruit-based alchohol), and Teresa organised deals for herself with similar products which turned off the company wanting to invest in Jax and the housewives’ name.” Q: “Well, why was this not mentioned throughout the season? Why are we getting this confusing story that makes Jacqueline look crazy? Why not explain this to the viewers?” A: “Jacqueline’s ‘character’ wouldn’t have endorsement deals; it didn’t feel right for the character. Jacqueline (the character) is a loving home mother who is trying to raise her children; we couldn’t go from doting housewife to celebrity endorsement maker; it wouldn’t feel organic.” UPDATE 9:18 PM EST: My source just saw that people are doubting the legitimacy of the interview, so has given me permission to post the following: “I was asked by my country’s main news website to write a piece on the reality of reality television. My cousin worked on RHONJ, so I asked for an interview. The interview was only given because RHONJ does not screen in my country, and I promised anonymity. We also don’t have any BRAVO shows on television here. I called my cousin in Washington and spoke for 20 minutes before realizing I would have to watch the RHONJ to understand what was going on and who was who. So I went online and watched every episode and called back a few weeks later. The second interview (which was recorded) was an hour and a half and mentioned numerous shows from TLC and Oxygen, but I have edited it down to the relevant parts, mainly due to privacy for my cousin.” The source noted that when the story is published on the news website, it will be linked to Fame-Whorgas. Fame-Whorgas received a partial transcript of an interview conducted with a former post production supervisor for the RHONJ. The source is editing the transcript down to pull the references to the RHONJ. Apparently, there is much to sort through since the interview was about reality television, not just the RHONJ. I cannot disclose the names of the interviewer or interviewee; however, I can say that I received this directly from the interviewer: this person, the one who conducted the interview, is related to the former post production supervisor. Here is the second installment (there may or may not be more coming; I’m waiting for the source to sort through the transcript): On Dina Manzo Q: “In season 2 you had a change of cast with Dina Manzo leaving; did she really leave because of Danielle?” A: “There were legal issues around the filming of Dina’s daughter, and Dina and Danielle had off screen legal issues. Dina threatened to quit the show unless Danielle’s contract for season 2 was shortened; she basically told the producers it was her family on the show or Danielle, but the others didn’t back her, so she quit the show.” Q: “What about Teresa? Did Teresa threaten to walk too?” A: “No, none of the other wives did; that is why Dina is so angry at her family; I guess she feels like they chose the show over her.” Q: “Well they did, so why is she speaking to Teresa then and not the others?” A: “The others were her family.” On Editing This Season Q: “What is going on with the editing for this season? A: “Can you elaborate?” Q: “Well, Melissa saying she was babysitting the Giudice girls so that Teresa could go to the Fabellini launch, and it was all lies because…” A: “I get what you mean. Listen, it was a real learning curve for everyone on season 4; we screwed up by filming season 4 while season 3 was screening. We went into shooting season 4 right away because we were seeing the Giudice and Gorga relationship on the mend and that was where we wanted our story to end; it was the perfect conclusion to all of the drama at the christening. Q: “Well, what happened?” A: “The ladies would be watching an episode of season 3, then have to go and film for season 4; it made things terribly hard for everyone because they couldn’t mention what they were angry about directly, so they would play around with their words. That’s when things got confusing and the editors had to play around with the storylines just to get them to make sense. The best example of this is the confrontation scene with Jacqueline, Teresa and Caroline: it had nothing to do with magazine covers, Danielle on twitter, or lies. It was about the episode [from season 3] that had just screened. But we had to edit it down to make sense to the audience. You have to remember, the television audience is much larger than those talking about the shows on blogs and twitter, so we cater to them first; it’s an entertainment television show first, is what I’m saying. On the Gorgas Q: “So tell me about the casting of the Gorga family? Did they really send in an audition tape saying they would take down Teresa, mafia style?” A: “They auditioned, as does everyone. Look, it’s not like just because she is Teresa’s sister-in-law we instantly cast her because we had heard of bad blood between them. Teresa’s brother and Melissa were filmed for a short period and that was edited into a small compilation to see if they were interesting enough to be on television. This happens on every single show. Melissa does say that they will take down Teresa in the video, but in a playful manner. I’m also sure it’s been leaked onto the net, so it wouldn’t be hard to find.” Q: “What can you tell me about the christening episode that introduces the Gorgas?” A: “Well, I can say I was actually there that day. It was our first full day filming with a large team; we had been filming previous to that, but they were establishing shots. It was much worse than what was shown: the extended family didn’t want anything on camera, so what you don’t see is family members getting violent with the crew and grabbing their cameras and ripping microphone packs off and throwing them across the room. It was chaos.” Q: “Why did Joe Gorga react the way he did? He was crazy.” A: “I’ll just say, first day shooting nerves can make some drink and others take….I’ll leave it at that.” On the Phone Call Between Joe Giudice and the Mystery Caller Q: “Was Joe Giudice talking to a woman on the phone in Napa; did he forget to turn off his mic?” A: “The call was 100% innocent. He called Teresa a c*** because he didn’t want to be there filming, and was taking it out on her. He had a legal mess at home he needed to deal with but was contractually obligated to be there.” On Next Season Q: “Cast changes for next season?” A: “I’m not involved next season, but I know Kathy is gone as an official but will likely still be around. Casting went out months ago.” Q: “Melissa’s sisters?” A: “No, no, we get what they try and do on twitter and it takes the sparkle off the series; they won’t be housewives anytime soon.” |

Melissa's sisters take the sparkle off the series? Pretty sure that sparkle left a longass time ago. I know that blog is horribly skewed, but I love reading it. And each time I read it, I marvel at the time that goes into each entry. Clearly, this is a person with shit else to do in their life. |

So, JoGo really is a 'roided up mess. Awesome. And the fact that the Tree smackdown at Jax's house was really about an episode makes a HELL of a lot more sense than what really happened. And explains why it starts in the morning and ends after dark. A 7 or 8 hour fight over MAGAZINE COVERS?! I don't think so. |

I spend my time curing cancer, reading this board and hunting down info on the HWs. I guess the fame whorga person is more industrious than I am! So we have to figure out what was airing on Season 3 when we watch season 4. |

I read that, too, but it wasn't blind. They spelled out Melissa and Cat. There was a picture of the them with the Wakiles. I'll try to find it. I just saw it today in my travels around the interwebs. |

Here's a pic of Missy and Cat. I thought maybe Cat's hand looked 'mannish' because of the angle. But look at the one behind Missy. Cat has some big mits. Posted Image |
