Jersey Girls

I'm becoming addicted to Bravo's The Real Housewives of New Jersey. The season ended recently, but I've been trying to catch some of the repeats. It is such a different world these women live in. My favorite housewife has become Teresa, the black-haired Jersey girl. She is blissfully and hilariously ignorant. Her husband is funny as are her insane, mini-diva daughters. Teresa's bubbie job was quite an amusing moment. The scary thing was during the restaurant fight when she almost flipped the dinner table. That's when I changed the channel. The fight was scary to watch. So on to another housewife: Dina. She's not exactly warm, but I love her relationship with her 12-year old daughter Lexi. They have really funny banter and a sweet relationship. The episode where they cleaned Lexi's room and found millions of stuffed animals and a drawer of candy was very funny. I enjoyed when Dina joked that her daughter was a hoarder. Hoarders are fascinating. Lexi also bought a shirt that said Shoe Whore in that episode. Gotta love it. Dina and Lexi also have the most alarming cat. It's name is Grandma. It has no fur and is all wrinkly. Very bizarre. Caroline is the mother cub of all the housewives. She's Dina's big sis and Jacqueline's sister-in-law. I love Caroline. She's all about family. She's tough and she's funny. I think she's the most down to earth. Danielle is the crazy drama instigator of the group. She's unreal. Jacqueline is the other housewife who is torn between being friends with Danielle and staying loyal to her family. I like Jacqueline, but I also feel bad for her. Her daughter doesn't totally respect her. She seems kind of weak at points. She seems to have a really good heart though. Very sweet. Well, I love this show in all its ridiculousness.
