I have been watching this show from day 1. I was a fan of Teresa's but the last two-three seasons she has gotten progressively worse! I know Bravo has to make drama to get ratings but Teresa's actions are deplorable. I hope this is NOT how she is in real life but watching her children starting to bump up like they have a say to older ladies of the show just confirms she is this DESPICABLE AND TRASHY in real life. Gia has no place to speak to her elders how she does. Disrespecting her uncle, aunt, and Margaret. Not Cool! Stay in your lane. I know they love their dad but nothing was said that wasn't true. Face facts your daddy is a criminal. He got off easy. Only cause he has money (which he stole) and used it to buy his freedom and Teresa's. And y'all still spend it like you got it to burn. Teresa has no right to be body shaming Madge. Looks to me like Teresa has found a good 20-30 pounds herself, maybe Teresa should be the one pushing the plate away and putting the fork down. Tubby Teresa should be her new moniker. And she definitely NEEDS a dictionary. 3rd graders know what an analogy is. Geez. Complete idiot moron!! Bravo find a new villain cause Teresa is NOT the one. She needs some education, intelligence, maybe street smarts to argue with the others. She has the IQ of a sea sponge. Time to recast and renew this show. It needs new life! Bye Bye Teresa.

Mental health issues A-Z
irreverant15 January 2022
An interesting tour of mental health issues. Teresa's slow droney whiny Elmo voice does her no favours and exacerbates the painfully empty space between ears. Her parents did a terrible job raising her, a spoiled psychotic narcissistic brat. She deserves her dodgy red faced roid addled creepy current boyfriend Luis who will be an ex in 5 years.
Italians on the show seem to eat cancerous garbage (eg salami) and drink to excess which is why they seem to age badly and die early.

Marge's voice
DonutLover29 November 2018
Been watching Real Housewives for years and have enjoyed seeing Teresa face consequences as she stole thousands of dollars from people and pretended not to know. These women have been acting like junior high school adolescents for years and what can I say, I got hooked. But now, Marge's voice makes it hard to watch the show unless I can mute out her voice.
Marge, what you are doing with your voice is called "vocal fry". Google it. It can't be good for your voice. Sometimes you talk like a normal person, and coupled with a smile and joke, you are funny and likable! However, once your voice grates and croaks like a toad with vocal fry it's impossible to listen because it grates on the ears of anyone with any sensitivity to sound. Please Large Marge, lay off the vocal fry. We all want to enjoy the funny Marge! And Melissa, you are the best, just hang in there and keep doing what you do; it can't be easy having Teresa as a sister in law but count your blessings. I enjoy this show!

Stopped watching because of Teresa
dlk267729 December 2023
I stopped watching this a few years ago specifically because of Teresa. I really thought once Teresa came back from camp (ie PRISON) with a new namaste attitude maybe, possibly it could be watchable again but apparently that was very short lived.
Once Teresa threw an entire table worth of glasses/dishes at Margaret and fat shamed her I was done. Her and her abusive, aggressive, husband need to go...right along with her daughters and please, please take Jennifer with her. I don't know how anyone could support this awful woman. She makes the show absolutely unwatchable since every time she is in a group she starts a fight and ends up screaming in her god-awful shrill voice. This show used to be fun to watch...Lifestyles of the rich and famous fun...now it's just horrible, catty, bratty, classless women who act worse than a bunch of 14 year old mean girls.

Addicting train wreck of a show
davidogburn119 February 2014
I just started watching the real housewives of New Jersey and am on the second season. I just finishing watching the episode with Daniele and Kim G going to the benefit at the brownstone and I am appalled by them both!!! First off as a mother I would never lie and talk about my friends best friend the way Kim g did! And the whole time she was trying to stir up trouble she had that awful smirk on her face. If she was my mother and did that to my best friend knowing he was talking about their attire I would disown her. I'm hoping as I get farther in the season her and Danielle are kicked off the show!! I believe they are both psychos who have to force their way to events and try to scare people with felons to be nice to them. Come on get a clue!!!
Train Wreck

Used to be good seasons 1-5. Melissa? Margaret? Bye.
roddeocera7 June 2023
It's becoming unwatchable. Old story lines. Old housewives. It's just dirty and ugly and repetitive. Melissa gorga and all her fakery and nose jobs and lack of star power but there for ten years saying the same stuff? Margaret? She's just a disgusting human in and out. She says her friend Laura was all about the show. Wait, weren't you on the show for only 5 years? She was your friend for 25 years. Now she hates you. Your kids hate you. Your plastic surgeon loves you though. You keep changing your outsides. Is it because you are unhappy with your insides too? I don't now. Margey, you are old enough to finally do some soul searching. Used to love RHONJ Now I may just stop watching. Dallas got stupid and boring. New York too. Look what happened. Please Bravo, don't do it to Jersey. #castshakeup.
Yeah, Marge cool it with the croaking toad voice
lucianolvr7 February 2019
The other person got it right: when Marge lowers her voice it is hard on the ears. She needs to stop that. Sounds like a frog. Maybe she is trying to talk like the ditzy young girls these days who sound ridiculous. Not a good sound for her. All the girls on Vanderpump Rules talk that way and it's why I can't watch the show.

Hear Me and My Spoilers Out. I am Speaking the Truth
marshanj-brown22 October 2022
Warning: Spoilers
So I am currently binge watching this and am now near the end of season 8. I've read other reviews and I guess I have to be the one to tell the truth. Teresa is overall not a good person. She pushes and pushes people to their breaking point forcing them to become the worst version of themselves. Anyone who says that Caroline was a bully is weak. Caroline told the truth and was strong enough to not put up with anyone's crap. Kathy is a sweetheart and never went after anyone, she didn't deserve the "kiss of death" she literally did nothing wrong but try to continuously be there for her undeserving cousin. Teresa was jealous of her. There's no debating it. Jacqueline was and is the GOAT. She time and time again proved that she can be a forgiving person. Jacqueline never took a step in the wrong direction. Teresa and her consistent lies would drive anyone to scream. As the season went on Jacqueline become more independent realizing that she could live without Teresa's fake friendship. When anyone crossed Jac and told the truth and that's what they didn't want to hear. I believe Teresa caught Joe with the babysitter on his desk. I believe it 100% Teresa can't bare to look bad in public and lied. She was mad at Jac for telling the truth. All Jacqueline wanted was for Teresa to be open and honest about the tabloids, because that's what friends are supposed to do. How was she supposed to know what was true or not? Teresa was selling stories to the magazines at that time, and any true friend would be worried when they read something that terrible about their friend.
Teresa has a lot of faults but I have to give it to her she is a strong person. Joe out her through a lot and she kept her self together for her children and held her head up high. He did her time, that she didn't deserve and came out swinging. Her ex-husband Joe is literally the worst king of person. He talks so much crap about everyone else and thinks that he himself walks on water. When you have a family you do whatever you can to protect them. He messed Teresa over and she still defended him. Teresa is an amazing mother and she doesn't allow life to get her down.
Melissa, I was fine with her at first. I was even on her side with everything that Teresa put her through. Teresa was talking crap and telling Caroline and Jacqueline not to be friends with her. Teresa spread rumor after rumor. She consistently did everything she could think of to destroy her brothers marriage. Teresa has a freaking army that was doing her dirty work for her at one point. I understand that Melissa had to lose in order to win with Teresa and let everything go but how dare she turn on the people that helped her out and showed her loyalty. Jacqueline was nice to hear, despite the garbage that Teresa fed her. She helped, or tried to help, repair their relationship. When Jacqueline asked Melissa a simple question the fake phony Melissa wouldn't answer. She left Jacqueline out in the cold because she didn't want to fight with Teresa anymore. Are you really that scared of Teresa? I know that family is everything but wrong is wrong. She left Jacqueline on a ledge alone that night with no allies. It's because Melissa would be nothing with Teresa. She would have no platform. Melissa and Joe have an amazing marriage and she should have felt content enough to back up somebody that has had her back in the past.
RIP to Melissa Gorga's singing career. It was terrible and I'm so happy it just disappeared into things air. She does so much butter with the overpriced clothing store.
I'm rated this show 5 stars because it's actually really good. The best Housewives show I've come across and I've just about tried them all.
