 | The Real Housewives of New Jersey: Caroline Manzo Got the Editing Card!!!posted by RF Club, Group AdministratorWednesday, September 1st 2010 @ 1:21 PM (not yet rated) |
The Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion seems to have created more questions than answers. See, I always thought reunions were about the women getting together after viewing the show and going over the season. The women now have seen all the back story. They filmed it but when filming they obviously do not get to hear each others interviews or even see each others scenes. Therefore, they really do see the show unfold week to week with us. Yes, they see the episode a few days before it airs but for the most part they view the season along with us. Therefore, at the reunion I am always hoping they address each other, explain some of their comments, and fill in the blanks of scenes that are not clear or need more detail. Caroline Manzo said this in her blog to a degree but then she got a little whiny. Caroline got a little "poor us". We tape it, we relive it, we blog about it, we tweet it and it just seems like it is never ending. You signed up for this Caroline. It really is hard for me to feel sorry for you!
Below is a portion of Caroline Manzo's blog post. I believe this is her setup to explain away her behavior!!!
You need to understand the process. First, we live and experience what you see week to week in real time. Months go by, and we relive those moments as we watch each episode along with the viewing audience. In that time, we blog about it, talk about it in the different media venues, and answer all of your questions. When we meet to film the reunion, we’re pretty worn out emotionally. It’s liked the movie Groundhog Day. You wake up every day and you feel like you’re trapped in a time warp! Naturally, all of the emotions you’ve experienced in the past year or so come back to you full force during the reunion taping. It’s the moment of "truth." It’s the last time you’ll have to address any issues you may have with a castmate, or explain comments or behavior on your part too.
The problem I have so far with the Reunion is it is not really a REUNION!
I think Andy Cohen was trying. He continually went to clips of things on the show but these ladies, (I will state up front I use the term loosely because I will not be rude and call them what I believe they are and they are not ladies none of them, including Caroline Manzo) would not stay focused on the show. Caroline Manzo kept saying it was the OK Corral? And let's go because it was the OK CORRAL. Help, am I in the wrong generation?? What did that mean?? I guess they all talk an odd language in New Jersey. I think the Governor needs to focus on education in that state. Just a little Joke!!
Anyways, back to the Reunion. The Reunion pretty much went the same way the show goes. Attack Danielle Staub. Please explain the extreme hate for Danielle Staub? What has she done on the show to garner such hate? We start off the show with Teresa Giudice trying to slam Danielle Staub for having sex at her Jersey Shore home in front of the kids. I mean, what was that all about??? First, Teresa has a lot of nerve. The woman has the most inappropriate conversations in front of her children and for Jacqueline to defend her was wrong. Teresa needs to stop. In addition, it had nothing to do with the show. It was not filmed and it came out of left field.
Andy tries to move on with something safe. The babies!! Jacqueline Laurita the moron, really she is a moron gives credit for getting pregnant to Dina and a bracelet?? I have a quick question, How many of you believe that Chris Laurita went to Las Vegas and found him a whore and rescued her??? Why do you think Caroline Manzo is so careful to be nice about strippers and prostitutes?? Her brother married one. You know Chris and Jacqueline Laurita is your real life, Pretty Woman story. Anyways, Jacqueline is soooo bitter about Danielle Staub that she has to give credit to the birth of her baby to Dina Manzo and a bracelet. I am sure Chris who slapped down a lot of money to the doctor is thinking, "Damn, if it was the bracelet maybe I should ask for a refund?" I am thinking the doctor wants to strangle the whore and tell her it would be nice to give him credit for his work. But, know, it was the bracelet because GOD FORBID Jacqueline admit that the doctor Danielle Staub suggested actually succeeded in getting her pregnant.
Now, onto the hypocrites. I hate people who claim they don't want someone in their life and then in order to make them look bad they use their kids!!! Teresa and Jacqueline were both trashing Danielle by the time they had their little darlings so why in the world would Danielle Staub send a gift?? C'mon! I hate when women do shit like that, "Oh, you didn't even acknowledge my baby" Really? You can't have it both ways!! Either you tell the person to stay away or you don't! Teresa playing the game "we are on a show together" Whatever!
Teresa should have kept her damn mouth shut and I think she found out that Danielle Staub wasn't going to sit there and let Teresa make a fool of her and so she asked her about 'the nephew'. OKAY, that reaction is way more than Teresa's explanation. It doesn't fly! This is her simple explanation and it makes no sense, no sense at all! Straight from Teresa's blog! Of course I have a lot of wonderful family members and friends that are not shown on the show. It’s completely unacceptable for Danielle to drag them into the mud and lie about them. This caused Teresa to jump up and go ballistic? This caused Teresa to throw an executive and curse like a sailor?? Then, if you read her blog she claims she was at the hospital and her 90,000 plus fans knew it! "Teresa, HONEY, that makes no sense? I would not flip out if I had acknowledged my nephew and if you tweeted it then you brought your family to your fans attention, you dumbass, not Danielle? SEE, HONEY how you are not making any sense???"
Teresa is always trying to spin, spin, spin!!
Here is her apology to Andy oh and while we are at let's read how QUEEN Caroline defends her friend!
Teresa First: First, a public apology to Andy Cohen. I love love love you. I’m sorry I pushed you, but it’s just my natural reaction to try and shake people off when they’re holding me back. And I know it’s just a natural reaction to try and hold someone back who’s on the move. Thank you for caring about me and for being such a gentleman. You are the best.
Caroline: I NEVER expected Andy to get tossed like a rag doll. I was in complete shock when that happened. Actually, I had to compose myself because I wanted to cry. Seriously, I did. When Teresa jumped off the couch and approached Danielle it was literally within the first ten minutes of filming. The only thing going through my mind at that moment, beyond the obvious WTF is going on, was that I couldn’t sit through hours and hours of this. If this is happening now, what’s it going to be like when we get to the real issues? Thank God it never got to that level again, it was an ugly moment. Ugly, ugly, ugly.
You know what I am over? The three words in a row to be like Teresa! Does that make it cute and okay!
The Reunion tried to veer away from Danielle Staub at times. Andy Cohen touched briefly on Teresa Giudice's money issues. That was a joke. I am over Teresa lying about the figures. Bankruptcy figures are not inaccurate. It will be a matter of time before they lose the home if payments cannot be made. Period. Okay that horse has been beaten to death. Joe's accident a joke. Teresa get over yourself. Danielle is entitled to her opinion as much as you, Caroline and Jacqueline. The three of you sit in judgment of Danielle's life all the time. If Caroline can sit there and say Danielle's children have 'no light' in their eyes which is Caroline's opinion and then Danielle is entitled to her opinion about Joe drinking after the accident. By the way, many Americans feel the same way Danielle Staub feels and here is another thing if your husband TRULY did have three shots after an accident THEN he is A DUMB ASS, so either way TERESA you look like TRASH, WHITE TRASH!!!
Honestly, I could go on and on but I won't. I was most disappointed by Caroline Manzo. No, let me rephrase. It is the end of the second season and once again true colors are coming out and divas are being created. Caroline Manzo is becoming a little Diva. She likes that the Media, the blogger and tweeters like her. It is going to her head. The perfect Mom, Not. The perfect Sister, Not. The perfect Sister -in-law, not. Take a close look at Caroline Manzo. She is that friend, mom, sister and sister-in-law that drives you nuts. Caroline Manzo is the worst helicopter mom. She has three adult kids living at home. Let them go. They will all end up working at that damn Brownstone. Dina and Jacqueline can't breathe without Caroline's approval. Oh, and Caroline is that type of friend that is "it is my way or no way".
Oh, and Caroline Manzo plays everyone like a fiddle! When she does something not so nice it is "I'm human" but I guess Danielle Staub is not human? See, when Caroline said Danielle compared Teresa's girls to dogs, that was bullshit. Danielle was talking shit about Teresa and WE ALL knew it. Just like when Caroline claims she states that Danielle's girls have 'no light' in their eyes it is about Danielle's parenting. Danielle is doing the same thing. How dare Caroline Manzo treat us viewers like we are the idiots. We are not your puppets.
Caroline Manzo won't blame editing because she got the EDITING CARD!!!!!! Danielle Staub just glared at her because she thought, "You are kidding me? You bitch, you know how this works but you are going to sit on this couch and tell America that there is no editing because you look great and you know I can't say a damn thing with Andy our boss sitting right here." Once again, Caroline Manzo, we the viewers are not your puppets. We know about editing. If you think that we believe you guys are in full makeup all the time, c'mon. We know some things are edited. But, most of all if you are going to claim the HUMAN thing then we must believe it for Danielle Staub too but you say, no way for Danielle. See, you want us to believe you are authentic but Danielle Staub is all acting. So, Danielle has time to prepare and Act for us but you don't??
Caroline, I think we all are HUMAN and with cameras rolling no one is going to be 100% authentic, no one!!!
I know this blog comes off looking like a love fest for Danielle Staub. Here is the deal Danielle Staub has her moments. I am amazed at some of her conversations with her girls but I don't believe that makes her unfit, maybe looney (LOL). I cringed watching her dance with the pole but that is something I would do privately. I mean I see women tweet that they are taking stripping classes, so why are you all so appalled? Are you jealous? I mean, I am just shy and I know I could never do that on camera. The Brownstone debacle was just that, a debacle! The country club Danielle did not start. I do not like the "I am a devout Catholic". Danielle needs to look up Catholicism.
Overall, I think Danielle wanted to fit in with the other women but really she is too risque for them and Caroline had it out for Danielle the minute she heard about her past and Caroline did not like the closeness with Jacqueline. What is funny Caroline tolerates Teresa Giudice and she is white trash all the way. Spank me Joe in front of her children and family, wow!!! Jacqueline Laurita lacks class too. Really, what we are finding ,the Real Housewives are not classy women, any of them!!
Below is how Caroline Manzo tells the viewers to SUCK IT!!! Oh, and she basically says, Danielle lies and acts but Caroline is the REAL DEAL. Guess we have to take Caroline's word for it. Funny thing, we have yet to catch Danielle Staub in a a lie. Oh and isn't the gag order interesting??? Also, I can't tell but is Caroline singing her swan song??? It almost sounds like Caroline is leaving?
I’m not going to relive all the drama of the season tonight. I’ve already addressed it in previous blogs. I’ve received thousands of comments regarding tonight’s episode with everything from "I love you," to "You’re a bully." I get it; it’s totally expected and normal to have a mixed bag of emotions. Guess what? It is what it is. There was absolutely no way in the world I was going to sit quietly and listen to the lies and accusations that were being tossed around. My reactions were genuine and heartfelt. I wasn’t playing to the cameras, and I wasn’t looking for anyone’s sympathy. Those ten hours were my last chance to say what I had to say. It was the last time we were all going to be together and there were some issues that needed to be addressed. I take full responsibility for what I said, and how I presented myself. Trust me, I had a range of emotions as I watched from happy to sad, proud to embarrassed. That makes me just like the rest of you … HUMAN. Next week is our last episode. I have my blinker on, looking forward to exiting the “crazy turnpike” and finding the “sunshine and lollipop highway”….. wish me luck. Again, I want to thank each and every one of you for watching week after week. You’re the best. Xoxo
