Real Housewives of NJ: Photographers, Atlantic City, Implants, and Breakups

This Tuesday’s episode was not as exciting as last week’s show, but I watched anyway. Jacqueline irritated me during the photo shoot with her daughter. I think that her daughter is insecure like many teens. Jacqueline could have been more understanding. The girl was not trying to be rude to the photographer, but she is insecure. Her mother should have known better. No, her daughter was not going to admit her feelings in front of strangers, and Jacqueline should have kept her mouth shut. It was unnecessary to keep pointing out how she should behave in front of the camera. It was sad when her daughter was crying and Jacqueline showed no emotion, other than irritation. It is not surprising that her daughter is emotionally upset and doing poorly in school. I do not care for Jacqueline. She is not innocent as she attempts to portray and I do not trust her.


The trip to Atlantic City was rather boring. Teresa behaved like a silly teen with her outfits, boobies, and accessories. As for Dina, I can understand her feelings about the relationship with her daughter. I think the mother-daughter relationship is important and I agree that you can’t get that time back. I enjoy watching the relationship between these two. Even though Dina is harsh with women her own age, she loves her daughter and it shows.


Caroline did not offer much during this episode. However, I enjoyed the scene that included the family exercising with the personal trainer. It is true that if they are able to afford this luxury, they should take advantage of it. I am sure many people would love this opportunity. I know I would love to have a gym and have a personal trainer come to my home.


I am glad Danielle broke up with the 26 year old. She needs to stay away from children and I believe he was using her anyway. I have mixed feelings about Danielle. At times I feel sorry for her and at other times I think she is a con artist. It is difficult to discern the truth. The book points in one direction and I wonder how much of the book is accurate.


Teresa and her boobies were a less than interesting part of the show. I do not understand this way of thinking. This has never been one of my problems and I wish I had a smaller chest. So, I cannot empathize. If she is happier, I guess it is okay. I just wonder what messages she is sending to her daughters. First, she is so concerned about getting her daughter into pageants, modeling, and television. Now, she is worried about her chest size. Then, she is decorating her home with outrageously priced furniture. Finally, she carts along 30 outfits for a two day trip. I guess we know where her priorities are. “Happy wife = happy life.” Happiness obviously only comes about if you have money and looks. This is not such a great message for three little girls.


Well, I do not have much more to say about this episode. I am looking forward to next week’s show and the reunion. Hopefully, the content will be more exciting. I am curious to know why the table is turned over. Until next week…
