I admit, I didn't get very far into this article. I may read the rest later.

What does inspire you that’s out there now?

Bravo’s “Real Housewives” series! Whoever is doing the photography and editing for “Real Housewives of New Jersey” and also for “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” and “Real Housewives of Orange County” — this is absolutely cutting edge. I can watch the same episode — while I’m cooking and eating dinner – five, six, or seven times. I savor how visually interesting they are — how long each shot lasts and how much information it contains. This is intelligent and sophisticated documentary filmmaking that really needs to be honored.


Much, MUCH more at the link, first time I've ever thought of these trashy shows as art.

This is quite a long article, and doesn't talk only about the NJ wives.

Love the article, Mariah!
I guess I wasn't so far off the mark when I told Mr. Disco that Honey Boo Boo was "an anthropological documentary" ;) And she likes BravoAndy. Do you suppose he'll try to get her to come to the clubhouse?

Someone should tweet it to him. I need to read the rest of it. Just realized I am sick. No kidding, I thought I was just being lazy, but apparently there is a reason for it. I feel like crap.

LONG article though, Andy would love it.

So here was someone's theory on the whole Teresa things on TWOP - where else?

I hate to say it (because I like Teresa), but the following is a believable scenario:

Earlier in the season, Teresa decided to expose Melissa's past, so she enlisted the help of Kim D.
However, once things started to work out between Teresa and Melissa and the relationship with her brother improved, Teresa abandoned the "stripper" project but failed to let Kim D. Know.

Lo and behold, at the salon while preparing for the Poscbe fashion show, Kim D. trotted out Angelo. That explains Teresa's extreme nervousness both I'n the salon and at the booth with the other housewives. She didn't know how to stop her earlier plan from unfolding, so she tried (unsuccessfully) to contain the situation.

But Melissa was having none of that. She had been alerted to the fact that Teresa had a "surprise" for her. If she cooperated in stopping the set-up, she would lose her opportunity to expose Teresa's shenanigans and gain viewer sympathy for her terrible plight.

So, I'n summary, Teresa did come up with a plan to besmirch Melissa's reputation with both Joe Gorga (and her parents) and the viewers, but changed her mind about following through with it. (This also explains Kim D.'s satisfaction at the possibility of hurting Joe and Melissa.)

About Juicy's supposed girlfriend:

"The East Hanover, New Jersey woman is a 25-year-old "sexy" co-ed at Caldwell College "with curves galore," her friend told the National Enquirer, adding she "has loads of energy.

Curves galore and loads of energy? A fat chick on meth?

Um she isn't so energetic if she is 25 and still in college. Maybe she knows Victoria because I think she goes there too.

I don't think Teresa hatched the plan with Kim D. I think Teresa has run her mouth about Melissa being a stripper (not that it was necessarily true) to everyone and their mother for years. I'm sure Jax and Caroline were telling the truth when they said Teresa had told them that many times. I'm sure she'd told Kim D. the same thing plenty. I'm sure she said it in front of Bravo people, even if she did manage to rub some brain cells together enough to not say it on camera.

I think Bravo then had enough info. to hunt down Angelo and partner him up with Kim D. So I don't think Teresa was a part of the set up specifically but I do think her actions indirectly led to it. I think that's why she looked like she was shitting her pants when Angelo showed up and started talking about Melissa being a "dancer".

I think she said "dancer" -- and didn't realize that to Cow that meant "stripper" ...and to Clownie, too. But for Tree, dancing at a club would be bad enough, without Missy needing to take anything off.

Dancer = stripper in their world. Dancer in a club = for SURE stripper.

I love in the 10 minute preview that Tre says that Clownie told her that Cow was a stripper! Do you remember on the season 1 finale when Cow HAS to open her mouth to tell the truth? I think she just can't help but want to be part of the drama, no matter what the issue. It looks like on this preview that Jax brings up the stripper thing with Juicy, not the other way around.

What does it matter if Jax or Melissa or even Caroline were a stripper in the past.. or a dancer.. or a bartender?

I can't even figure out what Melissa is complaining about. Is it that she wasn't a stripper/dancer and Tre is trying to imply she was, or is it that she WAS a stripper/dancer and Tre is exposing the truth? Like Chris Laurita says, a stripper is not on par with a serial killer. I'm also wondering about Caroline, she was so bent out of shape with Danielle's past as a stripper/prostitute/drug dealing kidnapper that she did her best to run her out of town.. but Melissa's possible stripper gets a pass?

And JoeGO "Leave my fucking wife out of this" nice language..yeah you've never called her a cunt. Nah!
