The City, Season 3, Episode 10

"Stage Fight"

ELLE MAGAZINE

Joe Zee, Erin and Olivia are in Joe's office and Joe tells them that they are in a bit of a crisis. Erin booked the Martha Stewart show and they are asking for one more designer. Joe and Robbie have decided on Prabal Gurung. Olivia doesn't know him personally but she supports their choice. Joe tells her that Erin needs research on him: Background, history, education, looks and why is he one of the up and coming designers for Elle. Joe gets nervous and hands Olivia a pad of paper and a pen so that she doesn't screw this up. She tries to tell Joe that she knows, but Joe tells her to write it down anyway because it has to be perfect. HAHA!

PEOPLE'S REVOLUTION

Kelly's friend, Gian, manages Lights who is a huge hit in Canada. Lights is performing in NYC but she just got ROBBED. So Kelly assigns Roxy to "dress" Lights in Whitney Eve. Kelly tells Roxy that it would be a VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY bad thing if one of the outfits was NOT Whitney Eve. Pressure is on.

PRABAL GURUNG SHOWROOM

Olivia and Joe are looking a various looks. Olivia puts one together that they both love. Then Prabal picks his favorite dress and asks Olivia to wear it on the red carpet. Ugh. I know it makes me a bad person, but I hate to see her succeed at anything.

PEOPLE'S REVOLUTION

Gian and Lights meet Roxy to pick out some looks for the show. Whitney Eve really isn't her style. Her eyes keep wandering over to some of the other designer's in the showroom. Roxy tries to get her back on track by suggesting that she pair another outfit with a Whitney Eve jacket or something. Lights tries on the look and Roxy grabs a Whitney Eve coat for her to wear with it. But even I know that NONE of Whitney's clothes are going to end up on stage with Lights. No way no how.

LIGHTS CONCERT

Roxy brought some more Whitney Eve clothes to the concert. She tells Lights how important it is to wear at least the jacket. Lights says that she needs to feel comfortable, but appears to cooperate. It doesn't look like she'll go through with it, though. Kelly and Whit are waiting for the show to start and Whit is super excited. Zach - the photographer - shows up and Whit reminds him to make sure he gets a photo of Lights with the jacket.

HAHA! She walks out with the jacket on and IMMEDIATELY takes it off (and throws it on the ground) when she gets to the microphone and welcomes the crowd. Ouch. Whitney is PISSED and Roxy keeps looking up at her knowing that she's going to get yelled at later.

DKMS GALA

Olivia shows up in the Prabal dress with Joe Zee. Robbie walks up and Joe gives Olivia credit for pulling the Prabal look and Olivia looks smug, per usual.

LIGHTS CONCERT

Whitney takes off and Roxy goes to Zach to make sure he got a shot of Lights with the Jacket on. Whit finds Roxy and immediately lays in on her. Roxy interrupts and, correctly, tells Whitney that Lights just didn't like her stuff. It wasn't grungy enough. It's true. Whitney is still pissed and yells some more and then tells Roxy that she'll have to answer to Kelly, too.

MARTHA STEWART SHOW

Robbie, Seth and Erin are at the show and Erin is scrambling to get all the looks and models ready to go. Robbie tells Martha Stewart that she's really pretty. Weird. The show goes off without a hitch and everyone is happy. :)

WHITNEY'S APARTMENT

Roxy gets tea for Whitney and wants to talk about last night. Usually, I would be Team Whitney, but in this case, Roxy is right. Whitney comes out again with the fact that nothing this girl was wearing was Whitney Eve. But, Roxy correctly points out that she can't FORCE someone to wear something they don't want to wear. Whitney says that if Roxy can't perform then maybe she shouldn't be doing this line of work. Ouch. That was unnecessary. This is exactly why you can't have your friends doing "work" for you. It never turns out right. The same with selling a car - don't sell it to a friend. It never works out.

Roxy points out that it was her job to make sure Lights was wearing something Whitney Eve when she walked out. It's not her job to make sure she keeps it on throughout the show. She also assures Whitney that Zach got some pics of her wearing it when she walked out. She also tells Whitney that it's offensive to tell her that she shouldn't be doing this type of work just because this pop star doesn't like her clothes.

Whitney just doesn't get it. I understand that this is her baby and it's personal for her, but Roxy has been super supportive. Whitney says that she questions whether they should be working together and that's about the only thing I agree with. They should NOT be working together. Roxy feels defensive because Whitney is saying that she's CONSTANTLY disappointed by Roxy - which is a total exaggeration. Roxy just wants a little support from her best friend and I understand that. They agree that Roxy needs to move out. Yikes.

ELLE MAGAZINE

Joe walks down the hall with Olivia just fawning over her for her great job with the Prabal outfit for Martha Stewart. They reach Olivia's desk and he congratulates Erin for the Martha Stewart segment. He tells her that it was a real homerun and she did a great job and that Olivia really hit it out of the park, too. OY! Enough with the baseball analogies, Joe Zee. Geesh!

See you next time.

OMG OMG OMG OMG - KEN OLIN will be appearing on the next episode!!! WOO HOO!

The Hills, Season 6, Episode 10

"Welcome to the Jungle"

The gang arrives in Costa Rica. Stephanie comments that it's so romantic and "beach-y". Audrina concurs and then talks about how weird it is for Justin to be there. I totally agree, btw. I think it's weird that all of these people are together. Frankie, Charlie and Brody - I totally get. Kristin and Bartender Stacie - I totally get. Audrina, Stephanie and Justin - WTF? AND, where's that other dude's wife??? They just got married last season.

Bartender Stacie and Kristin are lying in the water at Santa Teresa Beach in Costa Rica and I could not be MORE JEALOUS right now. It looks amazing and I totally want to be there. Kristin is curious who is going to hook up on this trip. They think that Justin and Audrina could hook up because he's always been that "one guy" for Audrina that always seems to pull her back in. Kristin is delusional and says that she doesn't have that "one guy" but Bartender Stacie snaps her back to reality and reminds her about Brody. Then, Bartender Stacie plants a seed by saying how careful Kristin always is to not flirt with other guys around Brody even though Brody is always bringing other chicks around. Hmmm. True. Kristin agrees that she is always very "respectful" around Brody. Way to pat yourself on the back, Kristin. Something tells me that will all change during this trip. :) Bartender Stacie agrees.

BAR in COSTA

For some insane reason, Kristin and Stacie the Bartender are lying on the bar while everyone else is on a stool. Perhaps they ran out of stools - or K & S are just super obnoxious. I vote for the latter. Anyhoo, they all do shots of something blue and delicious! Frankie is speaking in Spanish with the bartender, Will. Kristin loudly says "that's hot" - to Will speaking in Spanish, not Frankie. Poor Frankie. No one wants to hook up with him. What's that all about? He's not ugly.

Kristin is DRUNK. She tells Brody that she thinks Will is hot and Brody tells her to go for it and that he's looking for chicks, too. She looks at him and says "Oh really?" and he says "You know I love you. You're like my little sister." Oh dang. You don't ever want the guy you're sleeping with to tell you that he thinks of you like a little sister. Not cool. Ever.

Oh, I guess Will speaks English as well. Lucky break for Kristin - not that it would make a difference. Brody says he doesn't care and Justin walks away - grabbing Audrina's ass as he walks by. Nice.

Kristin, Bartender Stacie and the other guy who got married last season - Taylor - are all swimming in the pool. Kristin bitches that Brody says he thinks of her like a sister. I understand that Kristin is drunk and that causes people to blow things out of proportion. BUT, if a guy I was sleeping with told me he loved me like a sister, I'd be pissed and we would not sleep together again. I see her point. Ok, Taylor has always been Team Kristin for Brody. He has always wanted them to be together. So, it's not a surprise that he continues to lobby for the two of them to Kristin. He and Bartender Stacie are trying to convince Kristin that Brody is the one for her.

Kristin gets out of the water and decides she's over Brody. Well, she's going to say that she is and flirt with Will to make Brody jealous because she totally still loves him. She goes back to the bar and asks Will if she's going to see him later. He says yes and tells her to meet him at the night club later. Done and done.

DAY & NIGHT BEACH CLUB

The gang is at the club and Will and Kristin decide to go dance in the rain. The girls join them and they are dancing in the rain. Brody looks annoyed, but he's dumb. Dancing in the rain is so much fun. I did a bit of that on a trip to Cancun in my 20's. It was AWESOME.

NEXT DAY

Stephanie and Audrina come over to Kristin and Bartender Stacie's room. Stephanie says she feels like she's on Survivor because of all the trees and spiders on their way to Kristin's room. Oy vey. Bartender Stacie tells Kristin she has a date with the "Bartender" tonight. Don't hate, Stacie. You're a Bartender, too...or you WERE. Kristin creates a diversion and asks Audrina if she's going to join her in poor decision making and hook up with Justin. Audrina feels like she doesn't know him anymore and that he's acting strange. They decide to go eat and see a crab walking across the room. As they walk to breakfast, they see monkeys in the trees. CAPUCHIN!! So awesome. I want to go to Costa Rica.

Brody, Charlie and Justin are surfing. Frankie and Taylor are on the beach and comment on how much better Justin is at surfing than Brody and Charlie put together. HAHA.

Audrina, Bartender Stacie and Kristin go to a different beach and take surfing lessons. SO FUN!! I did that in Maui with my sister and it was amazing. So much fun. Did I mention how jealous I am that they are in Costa Rica?

FLORBLANCA RESORT

The gang is having dinner at the resort. Will (the bartender) is joining them and tells Kristin that the resort is a honeymoon spot. Kristin says she really likes the "vibe" here. Ugh. Brody is annoyed with Kristin's overt flirting with Will. Justin tells Audrina that he feels a little weird about things with her because of her baggage. She says she doesn't have any baggage and he lies that he didn't know that. Whatever. Everyone told him that she broke up with Ryan Cabrera. Justin just doesn't know how to act. Audrina says that they are just friends and Justin's response is "whatever it is, it is. Whatever it will be, it will be." Wow. So deep, Justin. (insert eyeroll here).

They have moved to the bar now and Brody expresses concern for Kristin because he doesn't want her to get hurt by Will. He also reminds her that she's like his little sister and doesn't want her to get hurt. Bad move, Brody. He continues down the bad decision path and they all toast to their last night to Costa Rica. Brody can't leave it alone so he toasts to "sisters that I've slept with" which totally pisses Kristin off. She grabs Will and walks down to the beach with him to make out and do dirty things. You blew it, Brody.

NEXT DAY

The girls talk about going to the waterfall today and Kristin asks Stephanie if she's going to be ok. Stephanie acts offended and insists she loves nature, but then freaks out when Audrina blows a leaf out of her hair. HAHA. Then, as she sits there listening to Kristin talk about her night with Will, something falls down her back and she jumps up and freaks out again. HAHA.

The gang takes a hike to see some waterfalls and they tell Stephanie not to scream if she sees a spider. She says that she's more concerned about Cheetahs and Gorillas now that they are "in the jungle." haha. They find the waterfall and Brody gives Steph props for doing a great job on the hike. They all jump in the water and swim and it looks so fun!!

Time to go home!! Kristin rubs her fling with Will in Brody's face again and ... he STILL doesn't care. Justin and Audrina comment that Costa Rica is a romantic place and not really a "group" vacation spot. He asks if she'd come back and she says "not with you." Ouch.

See you next week.

Real Housewives of New Jersey - Season 2 - Episode 9

"Posche Spite"

CAROLINE

Caroline and her sisters, Frannie and Cookie have lunch. Cookie is number 2, Caroline is number 6, Frannie is number 10 and Dina is number 11. Cookie and Dina look alike. Caroline tells them about Albie and the problem with school. They talk about being empty nesters. They are the cutest family.

TERESA

Jacqueline and Teresa have lunch with Kim "D". Teresa is skeptical because she's afraid Kim "D" is playing both sides. Kim "D" arrives and they all laugh about Teresa's party and how "fun" Kim "D" was. Kim "D" invites Teresa and Jacqueline to her store's fashion show. After Kim "D" leaves, Teresa and Jacqueline talk about whether or not to got to the fashion show. Teresa says that she wants to go, but Jacqueline doesn't want to put herself in that situation.

DANIELLE

Danielle goes over to Posche to confront Kim "D" for inviting Teresa and Jacqueline to the fashion show. She walks in and the employee in the store is on the phone so she puts up a finger to tell her she'll be off in second. Jillian calls Danielle and Danielle bitches to her daughter that the woman was VERY RUDE to her. Who the F does Danielle think she is?? She's some trashy drag queen from JERSEY, not Angelina Jolie!! So, Danielle - very rudely - walks back into the store and tells the woman to have Kim "D" call her when she gets in and then storms out. She totally misses the woman yell out "I didn't get your name." HAHA. Danielle is SO ANNOYING. I might dislike her more than Kelly from RHONY.

Kim "D" arrives and calls Danielle and Danielle yells at Kim "D" and hangs up. So Danielle comes in the store and says that the mistreatment she received from her employee was so disrespectful. Danielle says that she doesn't think she can shop in her store anymore and Kim "D" says that's fine. Danielle keeps being crazy, so Kim "D" asks Danielle to leave. Danielle interviews that she's over Kim and her "little boutique" which I think is amusing since Danielle doesn't even have a JOB! At least Kim is supporting herself and has a little boutique. What do you have Danielle?? A bad boob job and psychological problems?? Then, like the teenager she truly is, she says that Kim "D" will miss Danielle's money, so "haha". Really? Oy!

CAROLINE

Caroline is talking to Albert about feeling depressed because all the kids are leaving her. She wants Albert to retire so that she won't be so lonely. Albert asks if she wants to have a baby. HAHA!! She says NO THANK YOU. Albert is not going to retire. Caroline is feeling lonely. So Caroline asks him to slow down a little. Albert says that he'll never stop working completely. :(

JACQUELINE

Ashley is going to be a "model" in Kim "D"'s show. She tries on some clothes and they love her.

DANIELLE

I think I'm going to start calling her "Crazy". She's just not normal. Kim "D" calls Crazy to apologize for what happened in the store. She tells Crazy she wants her to come to the fashion show and Crazy agrees.

JACQUELINE

Teresa and Caroline come over and Jacqueline and Teresa ask Caroline for her advice about the show. Caroline doesn't think they should go. But she says if they go they should take the high road and NOT DO ANYTHING. They agree. But you know Teresa can't help herself.

DANIELLE

Kim "G" shows up with her "driver" to pick up Crazy. Crazy is anticipating drama and so she's going to the event defensive. I don't know why Kim "G" hangs out with Crazy. It makes her look bad. Crazy just plays the victim all the time. SO ANNOYING. Crazy calls the other girls "crazy bitches". Um, Pot? This is Kettle. You're Black.

FASHION SHOW

Ashley arrives and gets all dolled up and ready for the runway. Jacqueline and Teresa arrive and Kim "D" tell them that Crazy will be coming. Crazy shows up with a freakin' BODYGUARD!!! HAHA. She's such a drama queen. Her bodyguard, Dennis, came instead of Danny because Kim "G" had issues with Danny last time.

Crazy felt like it was a slap in the face to seat Jacqueline and Teresa at Kim "D"'s table. And, she was upset that she was sitting directly across the room from them. Ok, there's a catwalk in the middle of the room. She gave Crazy a great seat to watch the show. OY VEY! This woman is out of control. AND, she thinks everything is about her. She says that Jacqueline and Teresa are so desperate to get at her that they befriended HER friend. Whatever. It's more like Crazy's friends need sane people to talk to, so they call Teresa and Jacqueline.

CAROLINE

Albert and Caroline are out to dinner for date night. Caroline says that they need to get used to hanging out just the two of them. Albert says they won't be alone for long because Lauren is going to stop popping out babies soon. He thinks she'll be first unless Christopher brings home some illegitimate kids. HA!! Caroline really wants him to take a Saturday night off once in a while so that he'll be home more. He says he'll work a 12 hour day instead of a 16 hour day. Ugh. He promises to take more time off to spend time with her.

POSCHE EVENT

The Fashion Show begins and Crazy decides to go back to high school. Apparently now she's taking tips from Paris Hilton. She says she could care less about the fashion show. THEN WHY ARE YOU THERE??????? GO HOME! She refuses to clap and she pretends she's on the phone the whole time to "diss" Kim "D". WTF? She says Paris Hilton taught her that. Wow. Kim "G" tells her not to look back and act like the lady she is and pay attention to the show. Kim "G" is clearly embarrassed by Crazy and tries to teach her to be classy, but Crazy isn't having it. Crazy is surprised to see Ashley on the runway and she says that none of the girls knew how to walk. Kim "G" says that they aren't professional models. So Crazy says "that's why they didn't want Christine...they wanted UNprofessionals." UGH.

Ashley keeps staring at Crazy. OMG. Ashley is a TEENAGER!! Why do you care, Crazy?? Seriously. Crazy is out of her mind. She has lost it. Crazy goes to the bathroom with her entourage and Jacqueline walks out to find Teresa and Ashley. She sees Teresa sitting in a chair in the hallway. She says that she wants to say hi to Crazy because they are in the same room and it's stupid to not say "hi". Crazy walks by and Teresa calls her name and says "hi".

Crazy starts walking away and Teresa asks why she can't just say hi. So Teresa asks how she has been and Crazy starts walking away again. Kim "G" tells Crazy that that Teresa is making an effort and to come back. Crazy comes back and Teresa says hello again and congratulates her for Christine walking at Fashion Week. It gets heated and Teresa calls her "honey" and Crazy tells her not to call her that. SO Teresa calls her a "bitch" and Crazy says "that's a fuckin' nuff."

I hate to say it but Teresa totally instigated that whole thing.

Next week will be GOOD!!

The City, Season 3, Episode 9

"One girl's trash ... "

KELLY & WHITNEY

They go to meet some woman who tries to tell them about this huge designer trade show where 1000 designers come to show and sell their stuff to buyers from all over. She starts off ok, but then Kelly takes over and just gets to the point: Whitney has to be strong and say "no" if she can't fill the order in time and she needs to write everything down and take 50% up front. Done and done.

OLIVIA

Olivia and Kyle - Senior Accessories Editor for Elle - walk down the street discussing the upcoming Ke$ha photo shoot. Olivia asks what they are looking for and Kyle explains that Ke$ha is into leather and stuff, but she's also into "garbage." So the first place they go is called "Trash and Vaudeville." They tell the manager what they are looking for and head to the back to look at shoes. The manager looks like he's on many things. They find some boots with spikes all over and Kyle LOVES them. Olivia does NOT agree. She tries them on because she's the same size as Ke$ha and says "I'm not walking around in these." The other girls who work there laugh and say "she doesn't want to walk in the shoes. Who doesn't walk in shoes??" HA.

TRADESHOW

Olivia and Whitney show up and set up all her designs. Some buyers from "WINK" come by to look at her designs. They like some of the stuff, but don't want to commit. Wah wah.

ELLE

Back at Elle, Olivia is putting together some of the accessories for the Ke$ha shoot. Kate, the Executive Accessories Editor, comes to look at the stuff. She doesn't like the shoes and Olivia tells her that she has a call into Nicholas Kirkwood who is sending over the perfect shoe. Olivia received a picture of it and she says it's perfect. Kate is still worried, but lets Olivia get back to work. Seth (Robbie's Asst) walks over to Olivia and asks if Erin has seen everything. Olivia says she doesn't give a sh*t what Erin thinks even those she's the senior publicist (as Seth points out).

TRADE SHOW

Kelly comes to see how things are going. A buyer comes up and Kelly goes into "selling" mode. He orders a ton of stuff and they are all excited. Roxy and Whitney are super giddy and Kelly tells them that they have work to do. Buzz kill.

OLIVIA

Olivia and Louise have lunch to get to know one another. Louise reminds me so much of Elle McPherson. She and Olivia actually look a lot alike, too. It might be the hair. Anyhow, they sit and chat and Louise asks about the Ke$sha shoot. She tells Olivia about these "garbage bag" shoes by Nicholas Kirkwood. Olivia says that she has a call into Kirkwood and should be receiving stuff shortly. She also says that she already pulled those "garbage bag" shoes. Hmmm.

PEOPLE'S REVOLUTION

Kelly tells the girls that the big spender at the trade show canceled his ENTIRE ORDER. UGH! Whitney is pissed and kind of takes it out on Roxy. Whitney goes to take care of some other stuff and Kelly reminds Roxy that this is Whitney's baby. Kelly knows it wasn't Roxy's fault - or Whitney's for that matter - but Whitney is just freaking out.

KE$HA PHOTO SHOOT

Joe Zee brings Ke$ha in to look at all the accessories. The garbage bag shoes are a HUGE HIT. Ke$ha LOVES them and the shoot is a success. Erin is not happy.

ROXY

Roxy goes to see the owner and buyers from WINK. She tells them that they have a lot of the Whitney Eve designs that they were interest in available now. The buyers put in a big order.

ELLE

Seth plants the seed that the garbage bag shoes might not have been Olivia's idea. Olivia walks up as Seth takes off and Erin mentions to Olivia that Louise has contacts at Nicholas Kirkwood. Olivia sees where this is going and tells Erin that it was her idea and that whatever Erin thought she was doing by hiring Louise, it didn't work. Nothing that Erin is doing to get rid of Olivia is working. Olivia smirks and walks off.

WHITNEY & ROXY

Roxy takes Whitney to a WINK store to surprise her. Whitney's stuff is in the window and all over the store. Whitney is totally shocked and touched that Roxy did all of this without her knowledge. Ahhhh.

See you next week!

The Hills, Season 6, Episode 9

"Break-up to Make-up"

THE GIRLS

Lo, Stephanie, Audrina and Kristin meet for lunch. I guess Kristin forgave Stephanie for "allegedly" spreading those drug rumors about her. Interesting. Anyhow, they chat about Audrina and Ryan Cabrera. Audrina is so over it, but she can't cut the cord so she continues to drag Ryan Cabrera along. She so obviously wants to hook up with Justin again, but refuses to admit it. The convo switches to Audrina's upcoming birthday. She's not sure how to celebrate, but Stephanie suggests they get a boat and have a party on the boat. They agree to invite all the usual suspects. Audrina says "NO RYAN" and when asked about Justin, she pretends to not be sure. Oh she so wants him there.

GIRLS MINUS AUDRINA

Lo, Kristin and Stephanie go shopping for Audrina's bday present. Kristin asks if they should invite Justin to her party. Lo says that he never comes when he's invited, so Kristin is going to invite him. He's totally going to come.

BEACH

Frankie, Brody and Taylor are hanging on the beach. Brody says that McKaela is nuts for hanging with Allie Lutz. Brody is over it. BUT, she's still hot, so she can "still be in the rotation."

CLUB

Everyone is out at the club and Kristin and Brody have their flirt on. McKaela shows up WITH ALLIE LUTZ AGAIN. Geez. That girl never learns. Are there seriously only 2 clubs in LA?? McKaela tells Allie to stay away from them, but she walks over to Kristin. They fight about the break-in to Brody's house thing AGAIN!! They argue and Allie finally gets up and walks away. WHY DOES SHE BOTHER?? Allie needs to just stay away. LA is huge. It can't be that hard. Kristin gets pissed and leaves.

SMASHBOX

Kristin comes by Smashbox to meet Lo for lunch. McKaela is at her desk and she and Kristin exchange words. I understand that McKaela is trying to be nice, but Kristin isn't having it and tells her to stay away from her. They bicker and Lo finally ends it and she and Kristin head to lunch.

RYAN CABRERA'S HOUSE

Audrina comes over to see Ryan Cabrera and they have some wine. It's weird because she's acting totally normal. Then he asks about what happened at his show. She stutters and stumbles through her words, but FINALLY breaks it off. It's sad. I'm not a big Ryan Cabrera fan, but he clearly likes her and she's so not into him. :(

JUSTIN/KRISTIN

HAHAHA!!! OMG. Kristin is wearing a sleeveless jean vest and Justin shows up in a sleeveless flannel. HAHA! Justin comments that they are matching. Is the cut-off sleeveless jean vest in?? I'm sorry, but sometimes what's "trendy" or "in fashion" is totally UGLY! I think it's funny that these wannabes just wear whatever is "trendy" even if it looks stupid. Dumb girls. Anyway, Kristin tells Justin that Audrina and Ryan Cabrera broke up and invites him to Audrina's bday party. He says he might stop by.

KRISTIN'S HOUSE

Audrina tells Kristin that it's officially over between him and Ryan Cabrera. Kristin tells her that she invited Justin to Audrina's party.

AUDRINA'S BIRTHDAY

Everyone shows up - including Justin - and they set sail on the boat. It's pretty uneventful. They have bday cupcakes for Audrina. The boys tell everyone that they are going to Costa Rica and invite the girls. Audrina and Justin talk on the boat and she says she's doing ok and that she's learned a lot from Justin and Ryan Cabrera. I actually think Justin is happy just being friends with Audrina and I think Audrina wants more.

See you next week!

Real Housewives of New Jersey - Season 2 - Episode 8

"Bubbies Gone Bad"

CAROLINE

Teresa, Caroline and Jacqueline have lunch and they are sad that Dina is not there anymore. Caroline rehashes everything that happened at the Brownstone. Dina tried to give Danielle the benefit of the doubt and Danielle caused so much drama at that little girl's benefit. They all talk about the possible backlash from Dina's confrontation with Danielle.

DANIELLE

Danielle goes to see a plastic surgeon about repairing her wonky fake boob. They agree that she needs another operation to fix it. Danielle is excited to feel desirable again. (insert eye roll here)

CAROLINE

At Lauren's school, it's Avant Garde Day!! Everyone looks all crazy and it's cool. Oooh, Lauren has a David Yurman ring that I totally covet. I love it. Caroline tears up because Lauren is following her passion.

JACQUELINE

Chris and Jacqueline wait for Ashley and talk about how disrespectful she is towards Jacqueline. Chris says that they do a lot for her and the disrespect needs to stop. Ashley says that she has a bad temper and that she's embarrassed about how she reacted and treated her mom. She apologizes to Jacqueline. Jacqueline breaks down and tells Ashley that she's not the enemy and she loves her. Ashley says that she misses home and wants to move back. Chris tells her that she's always welcome to move back but she needs to follow the rules. Chris is a sweet stepdad and so good to Ashley and Jacqueline. I like him a lot. They are my favorite family. I also really love Caroline's family. Teresa's family is a wreck. Danielle's family is a tragedy.

TERESA

Reason #500 why Teresa and her husband filed for bankruptcy: Teresa decides to have the most extravagant housewarming party EVER. Her party planner comes over and is amazed that Teresa doesn't have a "live-in" and does all the cooking, cleaning, and child rearing by herself. I'm actually quite amazed myself. The party planner is getting a little obnoxious. She can't believe that Teresa doesn't have a pool. And her vision for the housewarming party is a "Studio 54" theme. OMG. Teresa and I both are OVER this woman. Teresa practically pushes her out the door.

JACQUELINE

Ashley comes to talk to her mom and Chris about moving back into the house. She's trying to negotiate the rules. She begins with the midnight curfew. She doesn't want a curfew at all as long as she checks in. Chris says she has to have a curfew. He says on the weekend, it's 2 AM and during the week, it's 1 AM. TAKE IT! IF you want to move back in with the 'rents. I think that's fair. It's their house. You don't like it, don't move in. Simple. Ashley says that she'll respect the rules and move back in.

CAROLINE

Albie is upstairs and talks to his mom. Albie says that the first semester at law school, he didn't do so well. He says that it's hard for him because of his learning disability and he's struggling. He tells Caroline that the cut-off to stay a student is a 2.0 and he has a 1.93, so he has been kicked out. He appealed it based on the fact that he has a learning disability and they told him that he might want to try a different profession because someone with a learning disability won't make it as a lawyer. Hmmm. If they actually said that, they are setting themselves up for a lawsuit. Albie needs to get that shit in writing.

Caroline says that she wants him to fight. Poor guy. It's heartbreaking. I'm totally crying right now. Albie is so discouraged and says he feels worthless. How awful. I can't believe the school told him that. I'm so upset for him right now.

CAROLINE

Caroline and her hubby are chatting in the kitchen about Albie. Albert is pissed that the school is being so dismissive about Albie's learning disability and they knew he had one when he was admitted. Caroline is worried about Albie because he's feeling worthless. Albert says that if this school thing is enough to totally defeat Albie then he doesn't deserve to be a lawyer. He says that Albie just needs to know someone believes in him and as long as he knows his parents believe in him, he will achieve everything he wants.

JACQUELINE

Jacqueline and Teresa are at Posche and Kim"D" (the owner) is there and welcomes them. They ask about Danielle's luncheon to celebrate Christine's photo shoot. Teresa thinks it was shady that Kim "D" went to the luncheon. Kim "D" says that it was business since Danielle is a customer.

DANIELLE

Danielle is having her procedure done. They are going to remove the old implants and put in new ones. Since this is her FOURTH procedure, it will be difficult. She tells us that getting her breasts done was necessary and not for aesthetic reasons. Really? Who the hell are you kidding?

CAROLINE

The family is having sushi to celebrate Lauren's upcoming graduation. Albie is feeling shitty and they all keep teasing him. They say that he's the cute one, but that some girls recently thought Christopher was cuter than Albie. They aren't slamming him or anything, but Albie is feeling sensitive and vulnerable and this is not cool.

Albie is feeling a bit of an identity crisis. He's used to getting all the praise, so it's hard for him to see praise going to Lauren and Christopher particularly since he just got kicked out of school. AND, he's the one who always studied and took all the entrance tests and graduated from college.

TERESA

Elvira (Teresa's party planner) is at Teresa's house and brought a group of people to help. Elvira is a total bitch to her employees and Teresa confirms this so it must be true. :)

The party is OVER THE TOP. Fire eaters, dancers, bouncers, chefs, etc. Jacqueline calls Teresa to tell her that Kim "G" feels bad that she wasn't invited. (Kim G is Danielle's friend, not the store owner but the mother of Christopher's best friend). Teresa concedes and invites Kim "G". Not a good idea. This is going to end badly.

DANIELLE

Danielle is finished and totally out of it. She says she can't wait to get home to her kids. Really? All drugged up? Why do you want to be with your kids when you're loopy? She claims her girls are happy to see her, but it doesn't appear that they are. HAHA! Danielle is such a sad person. She asks her daughters if they love her. Sad.

TERESA

Teresa's over the top, ridiculous party has started. OMG. There are playmates serving drinks. There's food, neon lights, a dance floor. It looks like a nightclub. Insane. Teresa thinks it's amazing. Kim "G" is there. Caroline is surprised to see her at the party. Kim "D" and Kim "G" came together and they are drunk. Everyone is dancing. There are break dancers and fire eaters performing for everyone. Teresa has the microphone and brings Jacqueline and Caroline up to thank them for their friendship. Kim "D" walks up to the microphone and tells Teresa how nice her house is. It's so bad. Hello, hot mess.

Kim "D" is seriously a drunk mess. Kim "D" and Ashley start talking shit about Danielle. Caroline ends the conversation and tells Ashley to stop. Kim "G" takes Caroline aside and tells her that she thinks Jacqueline is obsessed with Danielle. Jacqueline walks up and hears the conversation as Caroline walks away and Kim "G" starts trying to explain. Jacqueline won't let her and says that Kim "G" is the one who comes over talking about Danielle all the time. Jacqueline doesn't like Danielle but she's not obsessed with her. Jacqueline is OVER Kim "G".

See you next week!

Real Housewives of New Jersey - Season 2 - Episode 7

"Play At Your Own Risk"

DINA

Danielle thinks Dina is acting holier than thou. She keeps bringing up the other girls. Dina tells Danielle that she keeps bringing up last year. Dina realizes that she can't have a normal conversation with Danielle. Dina gets up and Danielle tells her to run away. Dina tells her that she's cutting Danielle out of her life. Dina interviews "you bet your ass I'm running because I don't need to put up with you." Danielle is crazy and Dina tells her that to her face. Danielle tells her to NEVER call her crazy again. Danielle is super loud and drawing attention to herself. Dina finally leaves.

Danielle calls Danny and John to come inside because she's totally shaken up. She recounts the confrontation. She says that Dina ran off because she's guilty. No, Danielle, she left because you're crazy and nothing good was going to come of her staying.

JACQUELINE

Teresa and Joe are at Jacqueline's with their girls and they pick up CJ to take them to some farm to play on the haystacks and look at the pumpkins. It's basically a pumpkin patch. Chris, Jacqueline, Derek, Ashley and Caroline are all there, too. There are pigs, horses and other animals. Teresa and Jacqueline keep calling the pigs, Danielle. Nice. The men talk about having a card game and tell Derek that he needs to come to the next game.

CAROLINE

Dina and Jacqueline are visiting with Caroline. Dina says "Let me tell you something. That is one crazy ass bitch." Caroline wants Dina to say that she was right. Dina says that Danielle and her extensions were telling Dina that her REAL hair is fake. HAHA!!! Danielle is psycho.

DANIELLE

Danielle is at dinner with some of her "friends" including Kim G. I wonder what happened to that other friend she had in the beginning of the season. She tells them about her meeting with Dina. Apparently, Dina sent her a very long email. Dina and Danielle both read the email and it actually sounds really sane. Danielle thinks it's crazy. Somehow Danielle feels empowered. WTF? This woman is crazy. She, Kelly Bensimon and Spencer Pratt should have their own show!!!

JACQUELINE

Kim G comes over to visit with Jacqueline. Weird. Kim brings up the Dina and Danielle drama. She doesn't know why Dina would have to cut Danielle out of her life if she wasn't even in it. Jacqueline tells Kim that Danielle would text message Dina. Kim says that she had no idea. Interesting. Kim tells Jacqueline about Danny and John waiting outside while Danielle met with Dina. Jacqueline - and I!! - think that Danielle is stupid and creating drama because she doesn't need any protection from anyone but herself. She's the one hanging out with CONVICTS. Jacqueline says that Danielle played her for a fool. She feels like Danielle conned her and that she goes around seeking out rich people to befriend so she can find a rich man to take care of her. Danielle is all about what she can get from people. Jacqueline isn't really worried about Kim playing both sides because everything she says about Danielle is stuff she'd say to her face. So she's not worried.

DANIELLE

Danielle goes to her friend's house with some other friends. She tells them about her "sex tape" and explains that she's been covering up her body because of it. Allegedly, the guy who sold the sex tape is the 26 year old who was friends with Joe, Teresa's hubby. Danielle says that he hid cameras in her room and tape their "intimate moments." Hmmm.

JACQUELINE

It's card night and all the men arrive. Steve, the sex tape guy, comes over to play poker. Jacqueline is disgusted by Steve and upset that he's at her house. Apparently, Danielle told the girls that Steve would text message during sex, but in reality he was recording them. Ok, why would it be ok for him to text message during sex. Gross.

Jacqueline decides to talk to Steve before the game starts. It turns out that Steve never recorded having sex with Danielle. Apparently, the sex tapes are recordings that Danielle sent to Steve of her masterbating. He says the majority of the stuff out there is stuff SHE sent to HIM! Aha! The plot thickens. He's slimy and gross, but I actually believe him.

The guys talk about what they are going to do to Derek to initiate him. Derek and Ashley arrive and he joins the game. Jacqueline, Ashley and Teresa are watching the boys on the monitor. They made him drink this "wine" that is super gross. Jacqueline tells Ashley that she looks like her grandmother who is apparently very large. Ashley is pissed. Chris tells Ashley not to mouth off to her mom. Chris tells her to keep her mouth shut. Ashley keeps talking shit and Jacqueline gets up and kicks Ashley out of the house. Derek stays to finish playing. I'm sure he's a little uncomfortable, but he's probably glad he didn't have to go home with Ashley.

DANIELLE

Danielle and some of her friends go to a strip club (??) to meet up with Danny and some of his ex-con friends. He brings some stripper to teach the girls how to "work the pole." OMG. These girls are practically naked. Danielle says that she used to be a "burlesque" dancer in the 80's. Um, you were a stripper, Danielle. Own it already. When it's Danielle's turn, she really takes to the pole. It all comes back to her. She's a pro. I'll give her that. She really is a true butterface.

DINA

Dina says good-bye to the show. She's happy with her life and her family, so she doesn't want the drama anymore. I don't blame her. I think she's the most honest person on any of these shows. Everyone says they don't like drama, but they stay on the show with all the drama. Dina says she doesn't like the drama so she's getting off the show. Good for her. I wish her the best!!

See you next week!
