Finally! Some real housewives talk. When Teresa takes Gia to her audition and Teresa is in the waiting room with the other stage moms (and dads), she starts trouble the way the rest of us do.

By bragging on her kid. But not just bragging – bragging without realizing that she is trashing the other kids. “my Gia knows all her lines… my Gia has great grades…”. Don’t misunderstand, there’s nothing really wrong with what Teresa said, it’s just that when you watch the other parents while Teresa is putting the halo on Gia, you can see that they are taken aback! Their faces are saying ‘who the heck do you think you are’ and ‘crap… my kid doesn’t do everything perfect like that’.

Actually, the camera zeroed in on one dad rolling his eyes at Teresa – that pretty much summed up his belief in kids walking on water!

So take a lesson Danielle!!! You don’t need thugs to create drama! People can get upset over pretty much nothing.

And Dina created some pretty good drama too. I have to say, I would have said what I had to say to a person like Danielle on the phone and been done with it, but that doesn’t make for good TV. So off they go to a nice restaurant. Danielle with her paroled James Cagney wanna be bodyguard and Dina with her beautiful accessories (Dina really looks great doesn’t she?). I thought what Dina said was perfect. Her mistake was she didn’t get up and leave right after that.

Then it started to get pissy. I guess because it finally dawned on Danielle that Dina wasn’t there to apologize. So, we leave them this week, pointing into each others faces and hissing ‘no you listen to me’…

I am going to say that throughout this episode, I really enjoyed the (Ms. Sandra Lee semi-homemade Cocktail Time) Watermelon Splash cocktail. Try it next week!

“Would you put a bumper sticker on a Bentley?” THAT was the best line of the evening and it came as usual from Teresa!!!

This of course was in response to the tattoo guy asking Teresa if she wanted to get a tattoo while they were adding Adriana’s name to hubbie Joe’s tattoo. Ya gotta LOVE Teresa!!! But, did anyone else think Joe hesitated when the tattoo artist asked Joe if there is one or two n’s in Adriana’s name???? Not good Joe. Teresa jumped in for him, sparing us all the embarassment of someone not knowing their kids name!

So, that was the most interesting part of the evening. The rest was just Danielle creating drama so she had a reason to be in the show. Who wants to watch a bunch of cheap hoods bounce around dropping the ‘f’ bomb all night? I actually got a stomach ache from that — not entertaining to me at all.

And did anyone else think that Danielle’s new friend is a Debbie Reynolds look alike?? It’s sooo weird… I knew she reminded me of someone and it bugged me on and off all last week. Then 1/2 way through this week’s episode — BADA BING BADA BOOM — it came to me – Debbie Reynolds. The now Debbie, not the gorgeous debutante she was.

So really, that’s two things that entertained me in the show. But that’s it. PLEASE get better next week RHONJ – this could be a real series let down!!

Luckily, I had my Champagne Cosmo (pg. 74 Sandra Lee semi-homemade Cocktail book) that didn’t let me down.
