I've never watched a second of any of these shows but I have to admit that your commentary is pretty amusing Amy, you really should watch the OC. They're disgusting. ;D I've never seen so much over the top, bling clad, boobish, materialistic, spoiled rotten, gaudy, wait...fake boobish women in my life. I wanna know if you ever see any of them around town. ;D I live here so I don't need to watch it! haha! That's a common occurance (although most people who live here ARE NOT like that) around these parts I wouldn't have a clue who any of them are to know if have seen them or not. But supposedly one of them was at the AI Finale and walked right past us. And someone on Twitter mentioned that they saw one of the Housewives at the Irvine Spectrum the other day...at the same time that Jason was there! But like I said, I have no idea what any of them look like

Apparently, the scene at the restaurant was edited way down. On Thursday night, BRAVO will air a 1 hour director's cut of that scene. OY...there's more? BRILLIANT!!
I think it's on at 9PM EST on Thursday night before The Fashion Show.

There are no words! But I'll try anyway. Caroline was really the cause of all of it, along with Dina. Caroline spread the book around and that was just plain viscious. I'm not sticking up for Danielle because she is nuts and she shouldn't have brought the book but still, why didn't they just ask her if the book was true or not and get her side of the story? Theresa, omg, she was totally reacting to Danielle calling her stupid especially since she doesn't like her anyway and she was the hostess to boot. The only one worth anything is Jacqueline, who told the truth. Her hubs was a sweetheart too for backing her up and calming everyone down. And none of this should have been done in front of the kids so another thumbs down to Danielle.

Danielle got arrested again in April for not paying her divorce attorney the 5-figure sum she owes him. Why doesn't that woman get a job? I feel awful for her daughters. They have an obvious loose canon/wacko mother. I feel bad for Teresa. Yes, she was obviously drunk...my jaw was on the floor with her stories before Danielle brought the book out, but Danielle did insult her several times. You could just see her losing it. She wasn't able to calm herself down. Anyone besides moi going to watch the hour long restaurant scene tomorrow night? ;D **ETA** Oh, and did anyone else catch her threat at the end there? She said something about if anyone else tries to attack her like that again she's going to show up at their door and "she won't be alone." Does she scare the living daylights out of anyone else besides me?

Yes she totally scares me. I'm just saying that the others didn't behave well either. Yep, Teresa just had enuf but I doubt I would have turned the table over, haha. And I agree with her that more stuff must have been true in that book than just what Danielle was admitting. I was glad to see that it was Dina's hand at the end when she was with that stud muffin Joe. Of course I'll be watching tomorrow!

Only saw bits and pieces of the show tonight, so I'm going to have to watch the rebroadcast to catch the whole thing, but from what I did see...I'm even more scared of Danielle than I was before. Her behavior and comments with her daughters in the last few minutes of the show tonight after everyone had left the restaurant and they were standing out front... All I could think was...she's trash. I know that's harsh, but that's the impression she left me with. Teresa is a little spitfire. I missed the part leading up to the table flipping seen around the world. ;D I think Jacqueline was coming to Danielle's defense with what she thought happened, but I still believe that Caroline is the one who brought the book to the salon and told people about it. Dina was there...and probably joined in...but I believe Caroline. I feel bad for Jacqueline. I think she has been completely duped and manipulated by Danielle. They are not cut from the same cloth those two. I think Danielle sees Jacqueline as a softy and a pushover and she's taken full advantage of that. **ETA** Ok..I've now seen the infamous 'table flip' scene. Whoa!!! My heart breaks for Danielle's daughters.

Dina was involved and she would never admit it. She is the wimp of the group. Caroline brought the book to the salon but Dina was in on it and she was also the one who brought the book to Jacq's attention.
Oh boy, two reunion specials!!

Had to watch the dinner scene over again as I was so taken back by it. Theresa really lost it and I think I could just imagine that Danielle speaking to her as though she didn't have a brain, at her dinner party (that Theresa invited her to), just squeezed Theresa's last nerve and she went bezerk! And I think Danielle knew exactly what she was doing, just didn't expect the extent of the reaction.
The scene at the bar bothered me because it seemed the men in the family were giving Danielle a free pass...or malybe they really admired her "go for the jugular" actions. All of a sudden she was one of them. I was especially disappointed in Theresa's husband. It really wasn't a situation to be laughing about. Oh well...just really uncomfortable behavior.
Then, Danielle's interaction with her girls was upsetting. She's out for blood and as her daughter said, she won't stop until she's at peace. Unfortunately, with her script, unless she gets some very serious therapy, she will never be at peace, and neither will her daughters as they are learning her behavior. Sad.
I agree that Jacqueline has been manipulated by Danielle. In the same way she has manipulated her daughters. I think Jacqueline likes the idea of standing up to her mother-in-law and having her husband support her fully. (I remember when I was married, my Mother-in-law was so strong. It seemed whenever we had discussions about anything, I would end up feeling totally discounted. My x always sided with his Mom and I would feel even worse.) I remember thinking if just once he would stand up to his Mom and show me some support. It never happened, so I just stayed away from discussions with her and eventually got out of the relationship...but if he had ever stood up to her, I would have really liked to have seen the look on her face. I could see those looks between Jacqualine and Carolynn. Aha...I've got you now! The righteous, "I just had to tell the truth"... going after the Matriarch supreme, who is trying to hold her family together.
Interesting episode...raw, dysfuntional and I don't think there is any way it could have been "acted."
Can't wait for the reunion...I think Tuesday night?

It's a two parter, Linda!!! Tuesday is Part 1 and Thursday is Part 2. I agree. Danielle needs some serious therapy. I think she dumps on her daughters in addition to subjecting them to way too much of her drama. Her threats made me very uncomfortable. Is Caroline the oldest of all the kids or is she just older than her brother, Chris and sister, Dina? I would have liked to have seen her husband, Albert there, in the restaurant. She said he would have put a stop to Danielle's shenanigans immediately. That would have ROCKED!!

It's Saturday afternoon and Bravo is showing the whole series and since I came in at the tail end, I am watching! Perfect day, raining outside! Am trying to figure out Dina now. #pullhair# #pullhair# Unbelievable...Ha Ha! #thpillowfight#

Caroline is the sister-in-law and basically the matriach. I don't think Jacq's being manipulated. She just knows that her inlaws aren't blameless either.
I saw something about Danielle not being on the second season but Bravo said they would film it first and then decide? Weird. Ratings?
If Danielle could get rid of her seething hatred for Dina she'd be better off. She is so screwed up and she's gonna screw up her daughters. But Dina is the overprotected princess of the family and needs to get some guts of her own.
The reunion shows should be wild.

I've heard that most of the things in that book were true and she was lying through her teeth at that dinner. Plus she's got some very serious legal trouble right now having been arrested again in April. I hope she gets some therapy and that someone is looking after her girls. I also heard that the ratings are so through the roof for the NJ Housewives that they're definitely coming back, but that Atlanta might not be back. And, there is going to be a 'lost footage' special in the weeks after the reunion specials. Yay!!

Who'd you hear that from, Dina? Bwahahaaaaa. I wouldn't doubt that a lot is true. They definitely brought the ratings for this one which is why they brought Danielle in to begin with. Of course the show's coming back but Danielle's fate might make it more boring

I have no doubt that if there is no Danielle, she'll be replaced with someone equally as colorful. ;D

Yea, tonite was really kind of boring and a lot of filler. Thursday looks much better. I think there may be some skeletons to go around.
